Model: Galaxy Fit S5670
I wanted to install unofficial cm11 to it and so I rooted it, however in some steps i messed it up and now I have what I believe is claled a hardware lock. So basically it won't boot, go to recovery as it will show a phone-->Yellow Triangle--> PC but it will go in download mode.I have tried with different versions of ODIN and different firmwares(one package) and ops but I always find myself stuck at flashing system.It just stays there forever and won't go on. I even let it for 45 minutes and didn't do anything. Any help is appreciated as I have read many forums and guides but I cannot seem to figure this out. Note: It is an old phone so no warranty.
EDIT: After multiple tries I managed to flash it with cooper_v1.ops and with Indian firmware from sammobile. However now I came back to my original issue. I have now rooted my phone through this guide: https://theunlockr.com/2012/11/22/h...fit-gt-s5670-running-android-2-3-gingerbread/
and flashed cwm recovery version v5.0.2.7 through this guide: https://theunlockr.com/2012/11/22/how-to-install-custom-recovery-on-the-samsung-galaxy-fit-gt-s5670/
but after I wipe data/ reset and cache, installation of cyanogenmod11 gets aborted and doesn't work. I've heard this may be due to old version of cwm but I have no idea. Any help would be appreciated. Also note, I have tried cm11 from here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2581415 and can't find any other unofficial cm11 or even cm10 with a working link. Also, the error showing when I try to install cm11 is "set_metadata_recursive: Some changes failed" "E:Error in /sdcard/cm-11-2014-0116-NIGHTLY-beni.zip" "Status 7" Installation aborted. I also noticed that when I wipe data / reset it says "Formatting /data.... Formatting /cache... Formatting /sd-ext... and E:format_volume: make extf4fs failure on /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 Formatting /sdcard/.android_secire/ Data wipe complete." The failure could be linked to the abort of the installation but I have no knowledge on it.
EDIT 2: I messed up something, and when I try to flash it with the same odin exe, same BENI_v1.0.ops and same one package it will get stuck at system but like once does work once in 50 times??? I honestly am confused and don't understand why. And it wasnt the first time I did it that it worked either.

I have an Inspire 4G. I've been running AndroidRevolution 5.6.2 for awhile now, probably 6 months. It's been running great so I haven't had any reason to mess with it. Today it locked up for no reason (no changes, no new apps, etc). It wouldn't boot beyond the "HTC Quietly Brilliant" splash screen.
I jumped into HBoot and then into CWM (version 2.1.3 RC2). I tried wiping Cache and Dialvik cache and rebooting with the same results.
I then tried a "Fix Permissions" with the same results.
I then tried a "Factory Reset". This time it seemed to give the same results, but when I tried to go back into CWM it loops... it loads the file system list at the bottom below the menu, flashes black, then does it again over and over again. I can control the menus (vol up/down, power) for the split second that they are available but then CWM just restarts, over and over again.
I was going to try Gene Poole Factory Reset tool, but it states that the /cache need to be EXT3 and mine is EXT4.
Is there any hope for me? How can I either get back to stock or at least a working CWM (3.0.2.6 or newer) to load AndroidRevolution 6.3.1?
Please help!

Download the Ace hack kit and take the CWM image in the folder tools/recovery. Rename it PD98IMG.zip and then copy it to the root of your SD card. Boot into Hboot and when prompted press volumen up. That will flash a new recovery image. Then try flashing a new Rom from the CWM...
You shouldn't have made a factory reset without flashing a new Rom.

In the Inspire 4G General forum there is a thread right at the top that explains how to deal with this type of problem. Marsdta also provides links to a Recovery img already in PD98IMG.zip format as well as flashable stock RUUs. That should get you back up and running.
I got a good Recovery installed (CWM 5.0.2.6). From there I ran SuperWipe which completed fine. Next I tried installing the AndroidRevolution 6.3.1 ROM and it failed with "Insallation Aborted" and "Status 7". After that, trying to Super Wipe or install the ROM fails and reports "Status 1". I'm trying to re-format the SD card and re-download the ROM right now. Any other tips?
Thanks in advance!

Try flashing some other rom. Maybe the file is corrupted...try installing RCmix3D or Coredroid or maybe some other rom and see what happens.
I'm getting a lot of errors in CMW along the lines of "E:Can't Mount /cache/recover/log" and "E:Can't Open /cache/recovery/log". When I try to run Super Wipe I also get "(cache is unmounted alread)". Is there some problem with how my cache is formatted, mounted, or something like that? When I try to Mount /cache manualy I get "Error mounting /cache!".
Thanks again.

Don't run the superwipe....flash the recovery and don't wipe anything. Just flash the rom...
Tried that just now. Got as far as
>>> Flashing boot.img
assert failed: write_raw_image("/tmp/boot.img" . "boot")
E:Error in /sdcard/Android_Revolution_HD-4G_6.3.1.zip
(Status 7)
Installation aborted.
Is there anything special I need to do in regards to formatting the SD card beyond FAT32 and full format (not quick)?

Do the following....try to change SD card, and don't flash Android Revolution...try to flash this:
http://rcmix3d.blogspot.com/2011/11/rcmix3d-runny-v40.html
Flash that rom to see what happens. Two options, or the zip file you are trying to flash is corrupted or the SD card is having issues...try the rom I posted, if is not working then try with another SD card....that should solve the problem
Formatting the SD card is a possible way of solving corrupted patitions....
Tried this. Flash of the rom seems to have completed but wouldn't boot beyond white HTC screen. Rebooted and still wouldn't boot past white HTC screen. Re-entered CWM, cleared data, tried flash again. This time the flash seemed to load correctly but now I can't even power on... complete brick...
Is there any chance to save my phone?

Ummmm...things are not good. But I heard that if the partitons are corrupted then you are lost. Try leaving the phone with no battery for a while. Then try to boot it...and see what happens. If it boots butvis still stuck in hboot, then return to stock with Gene Pole's tool and make a warranty claim. If you cannot even turn it on...then do the same. But if your carrier finds out you jhave been messing with your cell then you won't get much...

Total brick. Had to be hardware failure that initiated the downward spiral. Luckily I have an ATT DCS Center nearby and the swapped the phone out with a new(ish) one within about 3 minutes of troubleshooting. Thanks again for all the help. Not sure what ROM to flash to the new phone, though all I really want is tethering... Is there anything else out there as "stock" as Android Revolution HD 6.3.1?

Well you can just root the phone and maintain the stock rom...or there is ERBUS ROM that is just stock but without ATT bloatware and some other stuff...anyway you can just check some other roms and decide by yourself...there is no correct answer for that!! glad u solved it.
Hi all,
hope you can help me with this one...
I came from Beanstalk 4.4.240, rooted it way back, everything worked fine.
Now I wanted to get back to stock 2.3.6.... First I tried Heimdall, but its not detecting the phone, although Windows does (Sound at USB connection).
Therefore I switched to Odin as described here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1613523
I used the Option A, adhered to all the rules (including step 4 of wiping cache and data).
Odin flashed successfully.
After reboot though I get the following error in the red recovery mode (after the update package installed successfully):
"e: format_volume: rfs format failed on dev-block-stl10"
"wipe cache not successful"
I then did the cache wipe manually, and it does it successfully.
Upon rebooting though its stuck on the ATT logo loop...
When I then go into recovery mode, the following message appears:
"e:copy_dbdata_media: cant mount /dbdata your storage not prepared yet, please use UI menu for fomrat and reboot actions
Media files copy failed.
#Manual Mode#
...
Successfully applied multi-CSC"
Any ideas what to do here? I'm thinking it could be a partitioning problem...
I just want to make sure I flash the correct thing to fix this...
Oh and currently I moved on to Option B of the odin pack from above in the hope it could fix it - flash is successful, but error messages are completly the same...
Any help is highly appreciated!!!
Fixed
So I tried a different package with PIT, PDA & Phone (this buddy here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=27286083)
...and it worked!! Im back at stock
I have a Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4g, and I followed this guide to root it, using the files provided: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2256821 It seemed to work perfectly.
Then I backed up the factory (4.0.4/touchwiz) rom, used the recovery to wipe user data, cache partition, and dalvik cache, and then tried installing the stock kitkat zip. It got a little way into the process and then stopped, saying "Install aborted". It was able to boot into the stock (4.0.4/touchwiz) rom after that, so I did some googling and tried again with a version of Liquidsmooth specifically for the device. Same problem, except it said "Error 7" this time. I fixed that, tried again, and the "Error 7" message went away, but the "Install aborted" message stayed.
Now whenever I try to start it up, it boots straight into recovery mode. I tried restoring from the backup I made at the beginning, and it says "md5 mismatch". I've considered trying to flash the rom with Odin, but 1) the files aren't md5s/tars? and 2) I'm hesitant to do anything that may damage my phone further.
I've also tried googling around, with a lot of not-quite-helpful results. Any help would be amazing and highly appreciated.
Thanks!

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

Hello, thanks for your help.
It seems I bricked my galaxy s7 while trying to format the /data partition.
I installed TWRP 3.2 and a custom rom, and everything went smoothly until then.
I tried installing an audio mod which throwed a " can't mount /data" error, searching for solutions I read that formatting the data partition to fat and back to ext4 should solve the problem, I tried formatting it to fat with TWRP, however on the first try I got a message that it suceeded, followed by a message that /data could not be mounted, TWRP seemed to be still working (there was no reboot button or any other buttons, just a "working" bar). After giving the phone 3 hours I decided to restart it, now I can't access TWRP; it stays on it's "splashcreen", and of course the phone won't boot.
I'm having a rough time with this so I will appreciate it a lot if you can help me.
Thank you.
Boot to download mode, flash stock firmware using Odin, then retry the TWRP installation.
For wiping data, you have to make sure you use the wipe option that makes you type out 'yes' to wipe, the other factory wipe methods don't actually properly wipe the partition.
iirc you also then need to flash the dm no verity zip from the TWRP thread.
Bro you didn't have to do anything but just formating the phone in the first place. Aassuming you're on oreo , it happens to a lot of people and myself, after flashing a kernel twrp was unable to munt data, all i had to do is a data format in twrp that fixed the problem .
