Hello. So after spending a couple of hours searching for an answer, I couldn't seem to find one that could actually help me. I have a GT-N8013 Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1. I have CWM installed, and a 64GB microSD card mounted using the app2SDscript. I did not make a recovery image.
My problem right now happened all of a sudden. My tablet was low and I had forgotten to charge it, so it turned off, but for some reason it just froze at the logo. So, I plugged it into the charger and restarted the tablet. When loading everything was going well, but before I got to my home screen, my tablet just gets stuck after loading. Then an error appears and says that "Encryption failed. Unable to complete encryption due to interruption. Perform factory data reset." The funny thing is that I haven't even attempted to encrypt my tablet at all. So now I'm completely stuck and really just don't know what to do anymore. I can still get into CWM and download mode. Help please.
What I've attempted:
Wipe date/factory reset through CWM - failed
(while attempting to use CWM, I noticed that CWM couldn't load/open/mount anything)
Wipe cache - failed
Tried flashing stock ROM through odin - failed
6 month old tablet. Help please :crying:
i have the same problem, any ideas?

Hi, first post here.
So I bought a Nexus S that was rooted and updated to Jellybean. It's an unlocked phone originally locked to Wind Mobile.
So it's been having issues with getting stuck on the google logo after reboot, so I decided to sell it. Problem is when I go to factory reset the phone it shows the reset bar but then that turns into a big triangle with an exclamation mark on it with a little android guy next to it. The phone gets stuck there. All I can do from there is remove the battery.
From there I tried going on bootloader using power and volume up (says unlocked btw), and from there I load recovery. On recovery there is an option to factory reset and I click on there, however it doesn't do it. This is what I says:
"--wiping data...
formatting /data...
E:format_volume: make_extf4fs failed on /dev/blo/ck/platform/s3c-sdhci.0/by-name/userdata
Formatting /cache...
Formatting /sd-ext...
Formatting /sdcard/.android_secure...
Error mounting /sdcard/ .android_secure!
Skipping format...
Data wipe complete."
So I think the error might be accociated to the sd card because the Nexus S doesn't come with an sd card, it has built in memory? Also on recory when choose "mount sd card" it says"Error mounting /sdcard!".
So how do I go about fixing my problematic phone? I have a dude that wants to buy it but I can't even reset the damn thing, let alone fix the freezing at start up issue. I am also totally new to this.
Extra info: When the phone freezes at the google logo at start up I get passed that by using a blow dryer on the phone. That's the only way I start up the phone after the battery comes out. This is the gt-i9020t model.
Are you using a custom recovery? If not, that might be the reason your phone is behaving like that as I had the same issue like yours when I first started flashing things!

I don't know if it's a custom recovery because the previous owner installed everything/rooted.
When I press power and vol. up, It looks identical to the uploaded picture's bootloader/recovery.
Its a custom recovery (Clockworkmod) ok. I'm not familiar with it but there should be a setting somewhere - maybe in "advanced" - where you have the option of restoring default settings for the recovery. Do that and then try doing factory reset again.

In advanced there is no option that worked.
*Solution*
Ok so for those having this problem this is what I dug up:
Internal SD card error causes the boot freeze/factory reset error. When you try mounting SD card it fails, this is also what makes me think it's a fault with the phone's internal SD card.
I do not know how to "fix" this fault, however I'll tell you what I did to get passed this issue.
1) Heating up the phone helps bypass the frozen screen. On Boot it goes to the google logo and freezes, but you can get passed this by heating up the phone (using a blow dryer) before hand and it's relatively successful.
2) I believe that before factory resetting the phone (whether using recovery or the actual reset option on settings), if you heat up the phone, it might work the same way it works when booting up.
I did not try 2) because I managed to "reset" my phone manually by uninstalling all apps, deleting all files/cache/photo's/accounts, and by clearing all app data. This works just as fine if you ask me.
Overall this solution has not been "fixed", I encourage people to find a real fix, but for now using the blow dryer and manually resetting is one way around the problem.
I hadn't touched my tab for a couple weeks since I only really use it in my car as a GPS and Entertainment center but when I grabbed it to charge it up, it was completed drained. No problem here since this has happened before and I'd just charge it up. So I boot it after the full recharge and it's stuck on the Samsung Galaxy Tab logo. After a little while I check it again and I'm like, "Crap, it's bricked. I'll need to reset it with Odin."
I proceed with Odin and nothing. It's still bricked. I do a factory reset and this is where I notice my big problem. When I do a factory reset or reboot I get
E:Can't open /data/log/recovery.txt
E:copy_kernel_file :: Can't open /data/log/recovery_kernel_log.txt
I tried reflashing the kernel, pit and firmware and I'm getting nowhere. What gives?
try removing the SD card and see if it boots up.

Still no go but this did give me an idea. I just tried a simple reboot from recovery WITHOUT the SD card and got the error:
E:Failed to mount /sdcard
E: is the SDcard so I will create the directory with the files I mentioned above. I found the files on a different thread regarding a Samsung Galaxy phone. This may work.
I'm also going to try another flash without the SD installed to see if I have any luck there.
Thanks.
Issue is fixed
I decided to reflash while the SD card was removed and it got passed the initial splash screen. It was stuck at some wierd lock screen asking for a password. I went into recovery to do a wipe and factory reset and that brought the tablet back to life on reboot.
All is good again.
I have a Samsung Galaxy tab 2 GT-P5110 which I had successfully installed CM12 onto. I decided to set up work email which insisted that I encrypt the device. I believe that the process completed successfully.
At that point I decided that I would like to flash the device with CM12.1. Restarted the process (Factory reset, Wipe Cache, Wipe dalvik cache) and flash the new CM12.1 zip file from external SD card.
I cannot now get to the recovery mode and the device doesn't always boot into anything recogniseable. The screen goes black and blacker! I have manaed to get to the CM logo and then a screen asking me for the PIN for the encryption. The next screen tells me that the PIN is right but the data is corrupt. It gives me the option to "RESET TABLET" but that really doesn't do anything and won't let me in to the recovery menu.
I can get into the Download mode and connect Heimdall up to it.
Is there anything that anyone can point me at that will help me to unbrick it?
I hope I've passed on enough information to help. It seems to me I need to somehow re-format the internal SD but I can't get to any menu that will allow me to do that.
Any thoughts anyone?

Fixed It
I seem to have fixed it. I flashed the CWM Recovery rather than the recovery that I had been trying to use and I got control of the device back. Not sure why that made a difference but this time the Android Robot came on screen with the 3D polygon rotating inside it and it seems to be running correctly now and updated to Android 5.1 ... Magic!
Hey, my phone has been playing up and generally malfunctioning lately. It seems to work fine for a day or so before freezing, and either rebooting itself or forcing me to manually reboot it using power + volume down. This seems to send it into a bootloop where it generally freezes during the Samsung animation with the pulsing squares. This sequence continues with me manually rebooting, also trying to boot to safe mode and to recovery and after various attempts, i successfully got into recovery without it freezing on the blue android.
I then decided to factory reset as a last option, having looked around on forums for solutions. However, I now do not know what to do as it seems to have frozen during the factory reset. I dont have screenshots but the script reads as follows :
dm-verity verification failed. . .
-- Wiping data. . .
Formatting /data. . .
Formatting /cache. . .
It has been on that for the past 30 minutes and so i have assumed it has frozen. I'm afraid to force another reboot in case it is accessing memory, any suggestions on what to do?
It is up to date on fully stock software, has never been rooted and i have never attempted to do so. Also only around a month old.
Any help would be appreciated, thanks
I did not try to perform a factory reset yet, but my S6 shows the same instability issues.
Random self reboots with getting stuck at the boot animation.
I furthermore cannot enter the stock recovery mode (get stuck at full cyan screen with android logo), only can access the ODIN mode atm.
Booting that device atm is a hit and miss.
(everything stock, never touched that device in the XDA way! )
Update: I had to repair my S6 as instability increased even more.
Samsung licensed repair shop exchanged the mainboard of my S6.
All is fine again (except wireless charging, but I guess they broke it while repairing)
Okay backstory time....
I have the Samsung Tab 3 Lite, T110 something and I decided to root it.
I used Odin to flash CWM and root it.
Well it was a bit laggy, so I installed this rom.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2780068
It worked for awhile.
Later on, SuperSU said it needed to be updated, so I clicked update and it restarted the entire device and I got stuck on CWM-based recovery v6.0.4.8 and everytime I tried to reboot it kept going back to this recovery screen.
Well I tried flashing it again.
No dice.
Then I tried flashing ANOTHER rom from a different device (which I didn't realize at the time) and I'm still stuck.
To make matters worse my laptop doesn't detect the device, though it makes the noise like it's connected.
Well it DOES detect it, but it calls it an unspecified SAMSUNG_ANDROID.
I've tried updating drivers, turning pc off and back on, letting tablet die and plugging it in, different cables, everything.
It also says this weird thing when I try factory resetting in CWM: E: unknown volume for path [/sd-ext]
Not a darn thing works.
I'm frustrated and I'm sorry if I posted this in the wrong place but I'm at my wits end.
Bro try flashing stock ROM or any other custom ROM meant for your device from you device's recovery. And wipe data and dalvik cache before doing this ,and this can be done from recovery
