i tried rooting my phone on 2.3.5 then found out i needed 2.3.3 max to root, so i tried flashing 2.3.3 to my phone, something went wrong and now after several attepths at restoring it it just boot cycles. i can get into download mode no problem, but it doesnt matter what i flash it tells me it cant mount efs or dbdata. is there a way to fix this or do i need to send my phone off to get it repaired?
melli.
could reflashing the efs sort this? if so where can i download it? cause i can't find the efs.rfs anywhere...

THATS MEAN THE BUILD IN MEMORY CHIP HAS BEEN PHYSICALY DAMGED ONLY REBALLING OR CHANGING THAT CHIP CAN ONLU SOLVE YOU PROBLEM THERE IS NOTHING U CAN SOLVE THIS BUY SOFTWARE ITS NOT A SOFTWARE PROBLEM..................
What planet are you living on mate??? Its nothing to do with a damaged memory chip. Its cause a flash failed and the boot loader is looking for a partition that doesn't exist cause its not all there.
If you must post please make sure you have a clue what you're posting...

hello guys,
first of all i have read many posts about the problem and have tried most of them:
secondly:- i am sorry maybe it is not the right section but my phone model doesn't exit here
the problem in details : my phone is Galaxy Gt-I9128E
it freezes on Samsung logo , tried recovery boot with power volume up home key , i see the 6 recovery options in blue and
Successfully applied multi-CSC ." in yellow
and in red :
E:failed to mount /data (Invalid argument)
can't mount '/data' (Invalid argument)
E:failed to mount /data (Invalid argument)
E:Can't mount /data/log/recovery_log.txt
E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/last_install
i have tried the 6 recovery system options
1 from ADB : adb shell : connection closed but see the device some times
2 from external storage : downloaded the firmware to external sd card but the phone shut down every time trying to install it.
3 wipe data : wiped
4 wipe cache partition : wiped
download firmware with Odin 3.7 and 3.10 : Pass reboot but the same problem
tried CWM recovery installed by Odin : Pass . device reboot and going to recovery mode but nothing happened the same old system recovery boot
any help will be appreciated
thanks
So I decided I would switch back to a custom rom on my phone. I reverted to stock several months ago to get the official Telus 6.0.1 update. Now that I have that, I'm trying to get TWRP installed so I can throw a ROM on, but when I get TWRP loaded, none of the other file systems are mountable and I don't see anything in the /sdcard directory or anywhere else. There are errors when trying to mount them as well.
I did flash the 6.0.1 bootloader and modem the rom dev suggested before doing the TWRP recovery, but I'm still stuck with not being able to access anything while in the recovery, and I get thrown in to a bootloop if I try to boot the OS. I can flash the Telus 6.0.1 rom back to my phone and resolve this, but I'm wondering why TWRP is "corrupting" my phone like it is. Here are the errors i'm seeing in recovery:
Could not mount /data and unable to find cryptofooter
Failed to mount '/data' (Invalid argument)
Unable to recreate /data/media folder
Failed to mount '/data' (Invalid argument)
.......done
Unable to mount storage
Failed to mount '/data' (Invalid argument)
Full SELinux support is present
Unable to mount /data/media/TWRP/.twrps
Anyone know what's going on here? I tried this same process a few weeks ago, but just resigned myself to staying on the stock Telus rom because this same issue came up.
im using a zenfone 5 a501cg lollipop version 3.24.40.87
the apps suddenly started crashing so i restarted the device but now its stuck in bootloop and when i flash it with stock rom following error appears
E:failed to mount /cache (invalid argument)
E:cant mount /cache /recovery/last_install
please help me find a fix asap. ive tried everything that i found here but it has been of no help at all
