I have use file s1_odin_4G_Sedy.pit to flash rom, but get same problem, Odin still stuck at "cache.rfs". Fail ! I have tried flash rom via Heimdall and same result.
Maybe my phone hardware has problem ?

Try the kc1 or kd1 without the .pit file

Well flahshing roms via CWM is likely not going to fix your problem, sounds like you may have changed your partition tables and will need to find a pit. I thought I read someone in the 4g forum made a working one.
Galaxy S4G Pit
Good Luck.

which kd1 rom are u trying to install. theres a kd1 rom the it was compress wrong by the programer.

Are you using Odin or heimdall what options are you selecting?
Are you able to get into download mode? (Do you see the guy with the shovel)
Make sure you have the proper usb drivers installed as well and that you are using
the factory usb cable, I have had issues with other cables.

I had the same problem, I just kept trying til it worked

are you using P6200 or P6200L or maybe some other series? and what ICS are you flashing? Austria Open (XXLQ1)?
what odin version you used? odin3 v.1.85?
is it any possibility the HC or ICS stock ROM is broken?
what CWM version do you use?
can you post the log on odin after flashing back to HC?

[Q] [HELP!!!] Bricked GT-N8000

Hello,
I'm not new to the forums and I'm not new to bricking devices but I'm new to bricking GT-N8000 and this time i think i lost my efs and did not backup..
what i did wrong simply is i don't know how but i managed to flash 10.1 the TABLET instead of note and it didn't read any signal so when i figured out later what i did i downloaded a rom and tried to install hoping everything will be okay which it didn't.. downloaded a firmware from samfirmware which was one md5 file and since then i'm stuck with the opening window "Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1", so now i figured what i need is to flash EFS img, right now i have installed cwm and custom rom but when it loads it get stuck on Samsung logo.
i also factory reset after that i tried to format the sdcard which is the internal storage, and i think i might have format something called pre-load folder also the cache partition which i suspected due to my limited newbie thinking thought it might help
I'm not sure what should i do and i been looking everywhere for almost 7 hours now and still got nothing, Please Help.
i tried to flash the original firmware not that it came with because it came from china but the UAE one, and when i do it get stuck on the opening logo unlike the custom firmware that gets stuck on Samsung logo, and when i try to access the recovery mode i get this down there in the logo:
E: Failed to mount /efs (Invalid argument)
E: Failed to mount /efs (Invalid argument)

Applied CSC-Code : unknown
Successfully applied multi-CSC
E: Failed to mount /efs (Invalid argument)
E:can't mount /efs/log/boot_cause
E:can't open /efs/log/boot_cause
anyone can shed some light on what i might need to do

would somebody please help me
would somebody please help me, i don't know where else to go, i came here because this is like the mother of all developers im lost

yes i can get into download mode and i already used it to flash the original pda so with the cwm

Okay, lets take it a step at a time. Can you boot into recovery? IF so, clear the cache, dalvik, and do a factory reset (you will lose data). Then try rebooting the tab.
Also, what happens when you connect up to Odin? Does it show com connected?

i did all that

i did all that already and i can connect to download mode fine no problem so does my recovery works fine as well,
the problem seems to be that when i installed the tablet rom erased my efs or im not sure what happened exactly but for all i know i need an efs img for n8000 because i didnt back it up and cant find it T_T

Which rom were you on originally, as in region and version? Which telco provider?
Your first post is a bit garbled and hard to read.
Im guessing you bought the tab in china? But you live in UAE?

you're rgith the device originally came from china and it was unlocked so i had to replace it with something else and it wasn't moded used it for over 4 months and then recently i tried to install something else which led to me by mistake install a tablet rom that was installed and there was no signal thats when i noticed, after that i downloaded moded one by revolution and installed it via cwm after that i rebooted and it got stuck at samsung logo then i tried the original one after reboot it got stuck at the first logo that says Samsung Galaxy note 10.1 after that i formated sdcard and preload folder so is cache

Assuming the product is not a fake flashing a stock rom may bring back your EFS folder .
Preference would be for the original rom .
EFS /IMEI is tied to the phone not a folder that can be swapped .

im not sure

i'm not sure what you meant, but why would i get that error that efs cannot be mounted and i already tried to flash the original rom, and it was one big file..

Select N8000 roms in the search box and scroll down to the China rom. Download and install via odin. This will take you back to the stock rom. It should replace your efs folder.

im downloading it from samfirmware but do you really think that the original firmware could replace an efs mount error? i thought th efs wasn't replaceable and about the phone unit so is the IMEI,
also if anyone could or have already seen N8000 Pit file ever please advise where to get it because i've searched the internet all over for it with no use

On the OG tab 7 the efs was replaced by flashing to region specific stock. Would imagine it would be same here. You just lose ALL data in the process.

i have a friend who sent me EFS but when i tried to install it from recovery but it aborts, any ideas on how to get it there or if i have to unizp it and install one of the md5 files or one of bin inside like nv_data,
also please if you could help me locate the pit file for n8000 which doesn't exist i'd be grateful

From what I remember its not a flashable file. It needs to be copied and pasted via a file explorer.

is there a way?
is there a way to do that in cwm?
and what about that pit file, have you seen it or came across it before?

what happened when you used ODIN to flash a whole new firmware?

Not that I know of. You need r/w permissions (root access) and from the tab you need to use a file explorer to replace the efs folder with the new one. I doubt your friends efs data would help anyway, the imei is unique to each device.
The pit file contains the partition information for the device. Unless you have messed with it (unlikely as it is hard to mess with) then I wouldn't worry about the pit file.
Did you try flashing the china rom from samfirmware yet?

You stated in the OP that you had a 32 GB, so you'll need a 32 GB .PIT. However, I don't believe that is your problem as a .PIT defines the partition table layout on the device. That should not have been changed at all. I'd try redownloading the ROM you want and try again, or I'd choose another ROM. Also, are you 100% sure that the ROM you are using is compatible with your tablet?

I9500 11GB reverting to 8GB

I got a weird issue, I re-partitioned my S4 to 11GB and everything worked fine.
But when I revert back to 8GB the mobile doesn't get recognized by any computer.
I tried stock and custom, Kitkat, Lollipop, and Marshmallow but no luck.
Tried connecting it while in recovery mode, GearCM or TWRP v3, still no luck.
The only way to fix this is by re-partitioning it to 11GB again.
Any solution? Anyone faced that before?

If u odin a stock rom over 11GB partition the bluetooth doesnt work

so do this steps before odin a stock

2nd odin these files
1. a bootloader file that has param.bin as BL in odin
2. TWRP recovery as AP
3. a modem as CP
4. JA3G_EUR_OPEN.pit as 8GB pit
after odin it go to twrp advanced format all partition (except external) step by step not all together (u will see a lot of error after formating do this step again until there was no error )

But I got a little question, it's 8867 in size while I got a pit that makes it 8888, do you think it's because of that pit file I got?

I think all the 8gb pit are same but ur case is weird
u can check ur pit files exact partition size with a software called "PIT Magic v1.3.10"
:good:

here is what i did.
in BL i put the param.bin
in AP i put twrp
in CP i put the modem
in PIT i put the 8gb pit file.
then boot into twrp and format each partition (no errors) and now i am flashing the stock rom.
did i do it correctly?

I need to put a special note, that you need to format /data as ext3 first and format it again as ext4 as the direct format doesn't work.

Tick data, select Change File System, select ext3, swipe, repeat but select ext4 instead.

update:
i tried what you suggested, reflashing stock rom now. encountered same problem even in twrp, the phone reboots itself.
god help me i am trying to fix this for 2 days now.
=======
Here is the problem that i am encountering right now.
i am not sure what i am doing wrong, and this time whenever i flash something from recovery the phone reboots.
here are the things i did, using philz touch, i chose the install new rom (i do this everytime when flashing a new rom) then flash RR, was able to finish it but stuck in boot loop. so followed the same steps and flashed 2 other roms, infernus and halcycon (used these roms before) however before finishing the installation the phone reboots.
next step i flashed twrp via odin (success) and flashed the latest version via twrp recovery. guess what same problem, with RR it is stuck in boot loop while with other roms, it does not complete the installation. this thing never happened to me.
next step i used this adb thing and i believe it is successful, however same problem persists.
the only thing i can think of is to flash the original i9500 firmware which i am downloading right now and will flash it via odin.

Do you have the original firmware? If so put it in AP and the 8GB pit file and tick the Nand Earse All, wait for the ROM to be booted, reboot into stock recovery and do a full wipe (factory reset and cache) then reboot.

Then flash TWRP and try to install the RR one and give me your feedback.
