Last night I was installing Cynongenmod 12 lollipop on my Samsung Galaxy s advance Gt I9070 JELLYBEAN Indian version. I used v-root to root my device and took up backup of efs from efs professional, then I was installing Clockwork Recovery from my SD card via recovery mode and something went wrong, it was unsuccessful and from here my problem begins, when I was retrying to install cwm I noticed a error message that "unable to mount efs (Invalid Argument ) " I haven't noticed that and was busy on lollipop instalation but when it fails then I decided to revert back on my sweet jelly bean then I flashed my mobile using Odin to official jelly bean every thing went fine but when I restarted my phone on jelly bean then I saw two errors :-
1 . gapps has been stopped
2. Samsung setup wizard has stopped
After noticing these errors I downgraded to gingerbread and I can connect to WiFi, mobile network and can view my imei no.
Also I have tried to restore my efs using efs professional tool on running gingerbread but it fails.
"CAN ANYONE HELP ME, I WANT TO RUN MY OLD JELLYBEAN"
I have tried almost every thing Like
restoring from adb
Installed cynongenmod kitkat
Installed twrp and cwm so that anything hits up my luck
But didn't get success.
Please help..........

You should do a nandroid backup before doing anything
OK flash your stock ROM via Odin but different version!
Try installing a custom kernel!
In most cases its kernel prob!
If these doesn't help you
Uninstall gapps and install gapps manually:good::good:
Thanks for the reply
But there is only one stock rom available that is jelly bean and I have already tried it and also flashed a custom kernel (TWRP) but nothing helps.....
And it's possible to uninstall gapps manually from stock rom.....
Yes just download a system app remover
You must have root permission and becareful you must know what are you removing!
Give a thanks if i helped u

Have you tried with stock rom+stock kernel no custom kernel everything stock
Sent from my GT-S5830i using XDA Free mobile app
Yes,
I had downloaded stock rom (jelly bean) from www.Sammobile.com and then flashed it using Odin.
I am only stucking at setup wizard which giving me error "unfortunately Samsung setup wizard has stopped" if I will bypass this wizard then, I think everything will be fine and I had also tried the "4 corners tapping trick" but it also didn't help me.
Buddy do u know the build.prop editing
It may help u there are some codes available if u tweak the build.prop you can bypass it

But, I don't know how to edit build. Prop on my Galaxy s advance if I can't go to main screen because, I think to edit build. Prop setting I have to install some apps.

Like 2.3.6 GINGERBREAD XXLA1
2.3.6 GINGERBREAD XXLA2

You said when you boot, CWM starts. Are you sure its CWM or just stock recovery?
Same thing happened to my phone. I tried flashing a custom ROM but it didn't work. I took it to the service center and they re-installed the software. It happened while doing something related to root. Has the device been rooted? Also, is the device the S - 7500 or 7500L/W. Because I have the international S - 7500 version and I installed the file for the L version then this problem occured. So I suggest you take it to the official Samsung service center. But beware, if the device is rooted that means the warranty has been voided and you will most probably have to pay.

To flash a custom ROM :
1. CWM recovery
2. Apply update from SD card
3. Locate the zip file
4. Select the zip
5. Allow it to flash
6. After flashing is complete reboot the device.
I suggest trying the Atomblast ROM which I am currently using
Atomblast ROM - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=30035037
Sent from my GT-S7500 using xda app-developers app
This may also be the bootloop that occurs when the official software update is installed when the phone is rooted/CWM recovery is installed.
My son root this phone & this is international phone S-7500
so its means this phone is damage now ??
plz confirm
thx

What happened is he tried to flash an update on a modded phone. Had he done his proper research he would have know not to do this as once you flash your phone you lose the ability to do system updates. Copy a rom to the SD card and flash it. That should get home working again

I did that, man. Wiped it a million times and tried flashing the same. Any suggestions? I'd flash stock but Odin isn't recognizing the phone. Any suggestions?
EDIT- I managed to revert to stock. Odin recognized the device.

I was using CM 7 for long time but then while checking out the setcpu app I overclocked my phone to 800 Ghz and it went to the loop mode. Then I got it out of that but had to flash the stock rom . Flashed 2.3.4 DDKQ5 As I didnt like the screenlock for 2.3.6 . Installed 5x cwm recovery and also tried using the upgrade which was recently released and I previously had used it before the setcpu thing happend.. So Im clear that there is no issue about compatibility for the device . But when using the CWM recovery 5x /6.. Both show the same error
cant mount system
Cant mount data
and so on for everything else that is necessary..
Any change made in the system memory like for replacing the home app for Samsung home will reboot the phone without notice. Changing the default ringtone throught buid prop itself or by using BuildProp editor app also does reboot the phone without notice. It was never like this . Buildprop editor as well most root apps ask for permission to reboot the device but it doesnt happen like that now. Cant use recovery for backup/restore neither for flashing a custom ROM . Error (installation aborted) occurs while flashing any other ROM . Please help me ASAP. Stock ROM annoys me CM7 was so much. I miss it all.. :'(

Try install stock ROM with 4 files. Install Android 2.3.6 from here:

In Search write: s5670 and Enter. Select ROM for your region.
Install it with ODIN.

okay I am presuming you have cm7 the latest version(if not download it).
then go to recovery and format /system,/data ,/cache (cwm recoveries cant write or mount rfs file system its default for samsung roms).
then well wipe data/factory reset and install cm7 should work fine.:good:
Hi everyone,
I have a Samsung tab 2 p3100 with me. I used to flash a lot on my tab and try different Roms on it. But lately i faced this very uncommon problem when i flashed a purebean hdv2 rom on my tab. After using it for a few days i tried to flash a new one. So I made a titanium backup of my apps at night and in the morning my tab started rebooting as soon as i change any setting. It's like it's stuck on the same data, apps and setting as it was at night. Tab would restart in 10 seconds of usage. And even if i try to change any setting or remove an app in those 10 sec, everything comes back to the same condition after a reboot. I can't format data from the recovery. There's no failure or error. CWM shows the data is erased but the rom has no effect. CWM flashes everything without displaying any error but it does not change anything in the rom. I can't even change the recovery. Even i flashed the original stock rom via odin and the flashing too aroung 2 hrs to finish, but still the custom rom was there with all the apps and everything. Now i have really no clue what to do about it. I cant use it in the present condition and can't even change anything on it..
Please help me Tab 2 community. PLEASE............ :crying::crying::crying::crying:
And When I turn it on repeatedly this message is shown :unfortunately this aps need to be closed , and so on
Are you able to install TWRP? I believe it has an actual format option rather than just wiping the storage. It's possible that might do something...

I m facing the same problem with my GT2 (p3100) but in my case...i cant even complete the stock firmware flashing process completely(gives an error at around 60%).I have cwm 6.0.2.7 and as said by Akelis_2,the custom recovery too cannot b updated or changed! So, I cant even install TWRP.
Got any solution for this..?
I can't install TWRP

Have you formatted system partition? Go to recovery and then to mounts and storage > format system and flash some other rom.

You mean that you can't access recovery? If no then try flashing some other recovery like philzs touch and try formatting system from it

hi devs.
i have samsung galaxy core2.
i dought it and the next day i flashed CWM recovery and rooted my device.
i did a nandroid backup just after rooting.
after 4 months or so i was trying to make a lollipop rom for my device using kitchen.
i needed a base rom so i used the boot.img and system.ext4.tar.a from my nandroid backup and just make a working folder out of that.
did nothing with that stock rom just provided a correct update binary and flashed it on my device.
every thing works as i have a device just out of box.
but only bug i get is bluetooth is not switching onn.
need hint for error where should i check for that.
is that a misplaced siblink in updater script or any think else.
thanks in advance
