My P320 had started actin out lately... started to hang every couple of hours n so. I was thinkin it was probably the repeated adding and removing of applications. So thot I would do a firmware reinstall. Somehow somewhere during the upgrade the process stopped... it did not respond for like half an hour. so i had to take the battery out and reset. However from then on every time I try a Firmware upgrade I get the "No GSMFFS" error and the installation stops.
Can someone help me understand what GSMFFS is???
Also is there a way to fix this error??? I am getting the Bootloader prompt. It is even finding the image files. But then it says " No GSMFFS. 3 images found" and stops executing.
On a related topic. There seems to be an option to Upgrade the firmware using USB... Has anyone successfully done that???
Please advice!
Joe!

Dear Helpers
Please someone help me!
I was upgrading my phone and suddenly it stopped at 69%.
After that it asked me it if I want to make emergency upgrade, I tried it but unfortunately it didn’t work.
Now my phone is not starting at all, it just gives the logo of samsung and the model type. I tried to make a hard reset by click the buttons but it didn’t work.
It seems that the software is removed and no more software in the phone.
What shall I do ? Please advice!
Thanks in advanced!

Hello again;
Thanks for the fast responds but ...
I need a Professional Answer to a Beginner user.
I want to know how to fix my phone step by step from a to z
for example which applications i need to install on my computer to fix my phone etc.
anyone has patience to explain to me briefly?
well, at first you need odin
google odin android or sth like that and google odin pit file 512.
go to sammobile and look for the firmware you want to have (you need to register on sammobile.com to do this)
after that, make sure you have samsung kies installed, but NOT running (check via taskmanager-processes, if you see something with 'kies' in it, close that).
run odin
use pit file s1_odin_20100512.pit in pit tab
use CODE file in PDA tab
use MODEM file in PHONE tab
use GT-I9000-CSC... file in CSC tab
make sure the repartition box, auto reboot box, f.reset time box are checked (dump, phone efs clear, phone bootloader update NOT)
set your phone to download mode (hold volume down, home button an on/off button at the same time until the android with a shovel appears)
plug your phone via usb in to your computer, in odin should appear a yellow sign at ID:COM
hit start in odin
wait til its done
(i hope this works out, thats what i did, when i bricked my phone once)
i dont take responsibilty for damages on your phone!
you do this at your own risk!
ps: sorry for my bad english..

It is very hard to understand what your exact problem is, I can suggest a Galaxy III for an upgrade. As far as your current phone...
I;m sure someone out there has had a problem close to yours, try YouTube and Google searching as well as educating yourself here (XDA) on anything related to your phone or similar problems.
You might find the info. you need in an unrelated post or video! Check your pins to see if they are worn or possibly broken (connections). Ensure that you are getting a clean and solid connection.
Good luck
I was updating maps and the screen turned off and wouldn't come back on. I figured no big deal, its done this before, phone locks up but if I leave it alone for a couple minutes it'll become responsive again. It didn't work this time.
After I removed and replaced the battery, I was able to turn the phone on and the screen was on but nothing there, no usual tracfone logo or Samsung intro, nothing, finally after a minute I get an error message in red letters “MMC: mmc_read fail, Movinand checksum confirmation fail”.
If that isn't enough, when I try to charge my phone, instead of the normal black background with green charging particles and battery, it shows the same red letter error “MMC: mmc_read fail, Movinand checksum confirmation fail” and I have no idea if it's charging or not, but I suspect it's not because the phone feels cold, not even luke warm after leaving it plugged in for a couple minutes.
This is the first time I've ever had an android phone give me this error message and not boot like normal. I've tried all the different ways of booting while holding buttons down. It'll let me boot into download mode but not recovery mode, I've only learned this from reading the forums, but this is the extent of my android knowledge.
I have important pictures, texts, memos, Internet bookmarks, contacts that I cannot afford to lose or wipe or delete.
Can someone please tell me:
1. Am I going to be able to fix my phone to the way it was before the error, can I recover things to a computer, is it too late, phone has to be wiped factory reset? AND
2. If it can be fixed, what are the proper steps to get it back to the way it was or at least where I can extract what's important?
Keep in mind I have ZERO experience with Odin flashing adb twrp cyogen roms, it's all new to me.
As a side note, I would love to root my phone and be given instructions describing what's the best Odin rom cwm adb twrp, but that's secondary, I'm just mentioning that in case it can be thrown into the steps I have to take to fix my primary concern, which is to get my phone back to the way it was before this boot error happened.
who's pooch do you have to screw to get an answer on here?
Did you try posting your question in the appropriate thread/forum? Maybe you don't have to make any Intercourse with anyone's beloved chiweenie to receive a response to your query.
Yes I think I did anyways

I sent a pm to moderator but I don't think they even got my message yet, so then I tried to post a question in the Samsung Galaxy core prime thread but it said something (correct me if Im wrong) to the affect of I'm a noob and I smell like sweet sweet chiweenie love and I can't read good so I have to post my question in the general or q & a thread, which I did. Now I guess I just wait and hope for the best. Thanks for trying to help though, oooo sorry gotta cut this response short, the neighbors chiweenie is giving me that look
You had installed cwm or twrp before this error?

No joe2k01, I don't even know how to use those kinds of tools, my phone is stock, I need to get it back to the way it was before the error occurred.
I don't want to post anymore funny dialogue in what seems to be a futile attempt at gathering attention to this thread
I SERIOUSLY need help and I can't afford to be banned from these forums. . .
SOMEONE PLEASE HELP !!

disregard my previous message it was an error. :angel:
So I searched a bit on internet and I founded a method for restore your phone, but the method erase all the data in the phone .
For restore your phone fist of all you need to know your product number and your imei. For read your imei unplug the battery. Now go on PC and install kies (search on google kies download an open the samsung site), after that you need to turn on your device in download mode, on the left top of the screen you can read the product number. Connect your phone to the PC and launch kies , if it says that your device isn't compatible ignore the message and press ok, then go to tools<Firmware Upgrade and Initialisation, and type your product number and your imei, now just follow the wizard.
If I helped you leave a thanks :good:

Hey jo,
I just read your suggestion. I Googled kies to see if it is compatible with my phone, it looks like my phone should work but is there a way to transfer everything to my pc first?
Yes Kies is a toolbox developed by Samsung so I know that there is the option for the backup, but I don't know if the backup tool work with your error

UPDATE: jo's help may or may not have worked but after spending countless days trying to figure this out, I now see the immediate problem: No matter which computer/USB port/USB cable I use, Windows never sees the phone, doesn't make a beep (tuh noon sound) when I plug it in, nothing. I had responded to jo saying "Kies never sees it even with the driver from Samsung installed". Well, I'm not 100% sure, but I think it's safe to assume no program is going to see the phone if the computer doesn't even see it. Here is the URL for my new thread, please visit it and leave a reply if you think you can help: http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/development/windows-phone-matter-computer-usb-cable-t3305393

My device is Cherry Mobile Omega HD 2.0 (MT6589)
So here's my story:
I was texting while a message saying "Unfortunately, Messaging has stopped". I rebooted my device and what greeted me is a long message about Encryption Unsuccessful and a button for resetting my phone. I've never enabled encryption on my device. I tried tapping the button but nothing happens. I booted into recovery mode to factory reset but when I try, an error saying "Mount /data error" is all I get.
I tried searching online for a possible fix but I couldn't find anything! I'm trying to flash the stock rom on my device (I was running on stock rom when this happened. Yes, I'm rooted) but the pc doesn't seem to recognize my phone. I have a preload driver but it still won't recognize my device!
It still boots up until the encryption unsuccessful message and it still charges.
At this point, I'm already pretty desperate. :crying: I hope anyone could help or give suggestions! Oh, and if anyone could give me an idea on how could this have had happen to my device it would be very helpful. (I might have deleted some files on the internal storage and might be the cause but I did that maybe 3-4 days after this happened.)
Thanks!

Hi, Thanks for using XDA assist.
It looks like there is no dedicated forum for your device, however
There is a general forum for android here http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/help where you can try to ask to get expert's help.
Good luck
