Sk4g stuck in recovery mode

I'm trying to flash Glorious Overdose ROM to my sk4g. Rooted...check.
CWM...check.
Booted the phone into recovery and got the regular recovery screen.
clicked on 'reinstall packages'
Got the orange Clockwork recovery.
clicked on wipe data/factory reset.
following screen shows:
formatting /data
formatting /cache
formatting /sd-ext
E: format_volume make_extfile4fs failed on /dev/block/mmcblk0p2
formatting /sdcard/.android_secure...
And it stopped right there.
It's been like this for the past 15 minutes. I have the phone plugged into my computers usb port to keep it powered up during the flash.
I don't want to pull the battery for fear I might brick the phone. The sk4g has the latest kj2 update. I'm somewhat of a noob. I have rooted and added CWM,but this is my first time flashing a custom ROM. Pls help. CWM version 4.0.0.2

u must heimdall or odin back to stock via download mode n btw wipe cache then wipe data first

Was able to get back to stock rom by pulling battery and rebooting, tried wiping cache first then data, and same problem.

GT-P5210 stuck at bootloader

Hi I am trying to fix a friend's tablet and it's stuck at the bootloader. I have tried to wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache partition and already flashed a stock firmware via Odin (v3.07) without success and when I enter in recovery mode the following error appears:
"failed to compare 'system/csc/common/system/wallpaper/default_wallpaper/default_wallpaper.png' 'system/wallpaper/default_wallpaper/default_wallpaper.png' (No data available)"

It looks like the wallpaper default file was deleted. Maybe you can attach it to a PC and create a null default_wallpaper.png

[Completed] Samsung Galaxy Note 2 (GT-N7100)-soft bricked after an official update

Hi friends, my samsung Galaxy Note 2 (GT-N7100), got soft bricked after an official software update. I tried to recover it by doing few processes that i found here on this forum, but none worked for me. Here is the list of procedures i did and their out come. please read them and lem me know what can i do further.
1. Tried to factory reset and clear cache partition and reboot: when i entered the android official recovery (Android system recovery<3e>, KOT49H.N7100XXUFNL1) it shows
E: failed to mount/cache (no such file or directory)
E: Can't mount/cache /last_recovery
E: failed to mount/data (no such file or directory)
E: Can't mount/data /log/recovery _log.txt
E: Can't mount/cache /last_install
etc.... in red scrolling and finallly shows rebbo system /wipe data/factory reset options , even after doing factory reset and or wiping cache partition it still unable to bootup, struck at samsung logo screen.
2. Tried to install custom recovery TWRP.. failed to install, i tried different versions of TWRP specified for my phone , and also with different versions of odin.. still unable to install
3. Tried to flash official rom downloaded from sammobile, via odin, but this also failed.
4. tried to root by CF-Autoroot through odin. but failed again.
Note: My phone was on official ROM and recovery when it was bricked, and was never touched to root or flash anything into it before. and i never activated developer options in my phone and the USB debugging mode is also never activated.
please suggest me how to trouble shoot this now. I am not a techie, i just learned above procedures from forums like this, so please try to give me detailed step by step procedures. thanks.

Greetings and welcome to assist. It sounds like you need to flash a pit file. The easiest way to recover your device is use kies/smart switch emergency firmware recovery. Unfortunately this will wipe all your data but should fix the phone
Good Luck

A problem after i wipe data/factory reset

So today I wipe my data/factory reset cuz some apps didn't work for me cause it will pop-up "you have a rooted phone" (i have not) and now, my phone just loops the SAMSUNG logo 24/7, i did install TWRP in my phone and factory reset and wiped data, also tried to "repair" Internal Storage but it will pop up "invalid partition selection" also, after everything that i did it will always say "failed to mount /cpfes". And when i tried to flash with ODIN an original firmware just says error. And in my download mode says "device 9, binary 8" idk how to fix this, i tried to flash the firmware from TWRP by an SD-card but it will say error. I tried to just mount de AP in ODIN too but will say Device 6, binary 5.
please help me, i don't know what to do, and i have downloaded the last firmware too.
