Hi
This is my first message. Sorry for my bad English.
I'm live in Turkey. I bought on December 2011 a GT-P6210 from USA. Therefore my tablet has no warranty in Turkey.
The software/firmware is original. No root.
Today my tablet freeze on boot screen, it could not boot up, not close, battery does not charge.
I tried Android system recovery, but failed with many error message,
i e
"E: failed to mount /cache (No such file or directory)
E: can't mount /cache/recovery/command
# MANUAL MODE #
-- Updating application...
E: Failed to mount /efs (no such file or directory)
...."
The links of screen photos are below (because this is my first message, I can't share links directly)

I tried "reboot system", "wipe data/factory reset" and "wipe cache partition", but failed. Because I can't close the device, the device battery discharge.
What can I do yet, before the battery completely discharged? Can odin help me? An orginal ICS firmware update? I think nothing can't be mount by the system?
Thanks
Edit (SOLVED): Original USA firmware (GT-P6210_XAR_1_20111110151418) flash with Odin, only PDA and without "re-partition" don't help
I found this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1681047
I can't found pit file for 6210, I use 6211 pit file. Select also bootloader, PDA and CSC. Reflash and my device resuscitated
Hello everyone. I'm a new member here so if I forget to mention crucial information needed to get technical support, please let me know.
Surprisingly it all started when my Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 (SM-P900) was low on battery yesterday. I had to go to college so I took my external battery with me and charged it in my backpack. I didn't need my tablet so I left it in there (was working fine before) and I came back to it this morning to find that it had restarted. It was on the glowing blue Samsung logo, but it wouldn't load past that. I tried restarting it and it wouldn't boot past the logo no matter what. So I tried booting into Android System Recovery (Power + Volume UP) to wipe the cache and still, same results. This is where I can see the error "E: failed to mount /efs (Invalid argument)".
I also did the following:
*Download Samsung Kies (both version 3 and the other since each one says it's not supported and to download the other) and try to resolve the issue. Tablet could not be recognized by either version. No fix.
*Download ADB and the official firmware and flash it (adb gives various errors, ex: can't connect. I may be doing the commands wrong as I'm no expert at this). No fix.
*Download Odin in an attempt to flash it, but the first search result in google was a professional-looking website that actually had a trojan-horse for download; had to shut down my PC and run MalwareBytes, Avast! and McAffee to ensure that nothing remained.
I've been at this since morning. I've also looked at other topics and websites about this problem but I can't seem to find a straight-forward solution. Can anyone please help? I desperately need my tablet for work as soon as possible.
Thanks in advance, and please be precise and clear with your answers (because I'm not so good at Android/Linux commands, or rooting or anything that isn't spoon-fed).
Update: Still not working after I tried to apply TWRP 2.8.6.0 (zip) through System Recovery. After finding, opening and verifying the package it gives the following error message:
E: failed to seek in /tmp/sideload/package.zip (Value too large for defined data type), E: signature verification failed, E: failed to mount /efs (Invalid argument).
I should also note that throughout the entire time I used the official firmware, I haven't used any custom ROMs but I'm now open to it since I have to do all this.
Update 2: Downloaded Cyanogenmod Installer and while it was about to install, it detected the device needed to be repaired. My device was in Android System Recovery under the "apply update from ADB" selection, and these errors came up when Cyanogenmod tried to fix it: "E: footer is wrong, E: signature verification failed".
BIG Update (3): I managed to find the legit Odin application and flashed TWRP v2.8.6.0. However, I'm not sure what to do from this point on out. Help?
Hi.
I am in the same situation. Have you found a solution ?

If you connect your device to kies/smartswitch it will repair your device but you will lose your data. You may not be able to recover your data but you can try backing it up in recovery before you repair the phone. Any version of Odin should flash recovery for you

Well , Hi everyone
I will try to be detailed as possible
First of all I used this Guide to reparation my Xperia L 2105 and it worked perfectly .
I stayed on a custom rom for a month until I decided to flash the Stock rom again (silly me)
While flashing and just before it finishes flashing I encountered an error (but I don't remember it)
tried to switch on the phone but there was nothing , just a black screen and when I tried to charge it there was a red led light but no charging .
So I entered the fastboot mode and flashed a kernal with CWM , the device charged normally while the device is turned off and the buttery indicator appeared on the screen. and when switching on normally it stuck at SONY logo
After charging , I entered the CWM recovery and tried to flash a custom rom from SD card but a list of errors appeared.here it is
E:can't mount / cache / recovery / command
E:can't mount / cache / recovery / log
E:can't open / cache / recovery / log
E:can't mount / cache / recovery / last_log
E:can't open / cache / recovery / last_log
E:can't mount /external_sd/
and when flashing the stock rom again using flashtool that's what appears
- INFO - Ending flash session
- ERROR - Error in processHeader : 22 : The device does not recognize the command.
- ERROR - Error flashing. Aborted
- INFO - Device disconnected
----so , anyone can help ? should I try partitioning again or what? please help me
I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 GT-N8010. One day it suddenly stopped booting Android and wouldn't pass the first screen (it didn't even reach the one with only the Samsung logo, only the one that says "Samsung GALAXY Note 10.1"). I booted into recovery mode and tried to factory reset, but I got this error: "E:failed to mount /efs (invalid argument)." So I followed this guide: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/how-to-fix-e-failed-to-mount-efs-invalid-argument.2858056/
Here is where the problem begins. When I rooted to remove the factory mode (just following the guide), I did it using CF-Auto Root. But then my tablet stopped booting to Android (again, not passing the first screen), and when I try to boot into recovery mode, the CF-Auto Root screen boots instead (even after flashing stock firmware and TWRP). On this screen, it says the following:
CF-Auto-Root
Copyright (C) 2011-2016 Chainfire
Detecting devices . . .
- Recovery: /dev/block/mmcblk0p6
- System: /dev/block/mmcblk0p9

Preparing cache . . .
Mounting . . .
- System
- Cache
Rooting (SuperSU) . . .
Restoring stock recovery . . .
Cleaning up . . .
Rebooting in 10 seconds . . .
Then nothing happens. It still doesn't boot into Android, and if I try to access recovery mode, I get to the same CF-Auto Root screen. I can only access Download Mode, but I don't know what to flash to solve the problem. As I said, I tried flashing the stock firmware and TWRP (when I did that, Odin said PASS!).
I have been using Odin 3.10 and flashing this firmware https://sfirmware.com/es/samsung-gt-n8010/ (ARO). I also tried with a firmware downloaded through Frija (probably the same one).
I think that's everything. If I missed any information, please let me know.
Any help is welcome!
Thanks,
Whilz.
Good afternoon. I cannot guarantee that this will help you, as I have not encountered this problem and have not used these instructions. But maybe this will help you.
I found these instructions on the russian forum of the platform our devices are built on (n80**, i9300, etc.)
I will give the translation in this post and links to the original posts.
Spoiler: E:failed to mount /efs (Invalid argument) and how to deal with it!
Original post: https://4pda.to/forum/index.php?showtopic=514244&st=0#entry26179020
According to the instructions, you need to flash I9300_Repair_efs.tar.zip efs image via Odin3. IMEI and S/N will be lost, so you will have to think about restoring it.
Spoiler: Error "E: unable to mount /efs (Invalid argument)" or "failed to mount /efs..."
Original: https://4pda.to/forum/index.php?showtopic=514244&st=0#entry24433995
Attention! This method will not raise IMEI and S / N without efs backup. If you do not have it, then you can only download your phone, but there will be no network.
Tested on SGS III
1. If you currently do not have root rights, then download them from the link from the topic header, the version for installation via Odin, install.
2. Download Custom recovery. Also versions for Odin (.tar.md5), install.
3. Download AROMA Filemanager
4. Install the File Manager through the recovery as a normal update.
5. Run the built-in terminal File Manager (press menu / select "open console" or "terminal" from the list).
6. We write commands (after each enter - input):
mke2fs /dev/block/mmcblk0p3
mount -w -t ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p3 /efs
reboot
The commands are taken here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1896470
7. Reboot into the system (reboot system now).
8. We read the instructions for restoring efs (who did what) and restore.
If during loading we see a translucent pop-up window with yellow inscriptions on the desktop
then we decide like this - Club of Samsung Galaxy S III lovers (Post # 16738476)

There's quite a lot of information here that I'm not moving here. Perhaps you can learn something for yourself by translating the page into the right language.
