Use GTG's Unbrick to flash to stock.

Afterwards check if you can access internal sd storage. That'll solve your software brick.

Did you try looking at the other 20+ posts in Q&A that everyone has responded to claiming they're bricked??
To get a little historic on you (thanks @nunhugger for that terminology) back in 2007 when your bricked your phone it was gone. Done. Paperweight. Your jailbreak messed up your iphone. DONE. ADIOS. GOODBYE. So.. Claiming that your phone is, "bricked" when in fact that's not the real definition, is wrong. What you have is a term that was coined, "soft brick" this has been bugging me for a while and your post just pushed me over..
In other words YOU'RE NOT BRICKED.

LOL.
Yeah... everyone claiming they're bricked is getting old. Maybe we need a sticky like the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy with bold "DON'T PANIC".

Since I've never used Heimdall or this "SGH-i997-UCKJ4-One-Click.jar" file you're talking about I can't give you advice on it. I can only give you advice on flashing Froyo and how to get back to stock. Are you able to access your internal sd storage from the official stock ROM using the My Files application? Can you see the internal SD storage when you go to SETTINGS -> SD CARD AND PHONE STORAGE?
From your initial post it sounds like you can no longer access your internal storage.

yes, i can't boot to android home.

have any idea ?? thanks

have anyone can flash CWM Recovery by Odin or how can convert CWM Recovery "zip" to "tar" for flash on Odin?
CWM Recovery have many tool maybe i can fix it, if i can install it.
thanks

Same here
I am in what sounds like the same situation. Heimdalled my way there as well. There is a link in the Infuse Super Thread that brings youto a Heimdall One-Click by Adam Outler that includes CWM. I used that and got CWM back but it is having all kinds of mounting issues. Can't remember them all right now (at work). Definatly can't mount sdcard and definatly can't mount or format system as well. I think there's more. I propose we work through this together Top10. I'll be back with more details after work (several hours from now).
---------- Post added at 01:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:15 PM ----------
My situation is complicated by not hacing Odin (mac user).
I'll try to resurect my old PC laptop tonight but expectations are not high.
For the record top10: I got CWM back and mess with it for hours last night without any sucess. Only gatered more information about what else is not mounting. I can't get to 3e but can get to download mode. Reboot from CWM just reboots straight back to CWM (after Sumsung screen). What are the rest of your details? If we're in the same boat then we'll be twice as strong together.

twice as strong or sink twice as fast.
try reading this guys...a few times.

ps..dont worry too much about the mounting issue for now.

@ qkster Thanks lotta info there
@top10 Canyou get into download? (I can)
What happens when you try to Heimdall?
I fail at bootloaders for the One-Click
I fail at PIT for the whole package restore

Dozen,
If you are using,heimdall. you have to flash the uckj4 twice.
after the first flash, click the bootloader box and flash it again.

The second flash with boot loaders is where it fails.
From researching I am thinking that something is wrong with the partitions.
Right now every time I pull the battery and try to boot it goes to red CWM and says:
ClockworkMod Recovery v2.5.1.3 - Voodoo lagfix
E:Can't mout /devblock/stl11
(File exists)
E:Can't mount CASHE:recovery/command
E:Can't mount /dev/block/stl11
(File exists)
E:Can't mount CASHE:recovery/log
E:Can't open CASHE:recovery/log
E:Can't mount /dev/bloc/stl11
(File exists)
Get similar errors in mounts and storage
Can't CWM restore
Reflashing zip from sdcard fails eventually too.
Actually reflashing zip goes very fast and reboots back into red CWM
The problems all began when a second flash with bootloaders failed.

can you flash a ROM.zip from red cwm?
that is where you should be after you flash the Defuse kernel.
the mount e: drive error is normal

It apparently works but seems way too fast.
Then reboot just goes back into red CWM.
Reboot ALWAYS goes back to red CWM even if I ask for reboot to download or just pull battery and try to boot normally.
Failing at flashing the bootloaders and not booting without them scares me.
I can still mount to USB so I could download other zips.
Perhaps I will try to Heimdall a different ROM (like stock) any suggestions?

hi everybody
i know about my problem.
i try put external microsd card 16gb (sandisk ) and flash this "SGH-I997_I997UCKL2_UC_ATT" by Odin. when my phone boot it try to load logo at&t.
reboot 2-3time and wooo can load to home screen.
i try to check everything have wrong. i get it . the big problem my internal sdcard can't mount or format. i don't know it damage or have software issue. i try to flash back Odin_UCKE3_v2 it can't solve this problem. i think it internal sdcard damage.
i don't know how to walk out this problem
thanks everybody to share and tell me

I am realizing that your problem is quite different than mine.
I thought we could work together but my problem is so different that I must go elsewhere to avoid hijacking your thread.
I wish you the best of luck.

I'm seeing exactly the same thing on my phone right now - I'm into day 2 of fighting it.
* Flashing GTG's ultimate unbrick stops on the 9th bar of factoryfs.rfs in Odin.
* Flashing Heimdall gets me a flashed kernel, followed by a reboot into CWM with the quoted output.
* I've run everything in CWM that says wipe or format with no effect.
* I've run everything in CWM that says restore.
* I've reinstalled the only ROM that I have on my sdcard (zeus).
* I've done several combinations of the above multiple times.
* I've done this on 2 different computers on every USB port possible.
I've read the entire thread of GTG's unbrick and have seen nothing that I haven't listed above.
I'm not saying I'm bricked here, but I am saying that I'm out of ideas.

a possible problem with GTG's unbrick stopping midway is a bad connection.
Try rebooting your pc. unload any other antivirus.
use a different data cable or hold the one you have well against the phone to ensure a good connection while ... flashing your package...

Will try a different cable tonight once i've booted from lunix.
For the record:
Rebooting and cold booting have had no effect.
I don't run antivirus software, I just find it's a solution that's worse than the problem.

twrp install cm11 zip fail

I plan to upgrade my tf300t to cm11. But now i met some problem
my tf300t is using 4.2.1, and bootloader is ww_epad-110.6.1.27.5
first i unlock the device, then i fastboot twrp v2.6.3.0 in it(I tried several versions, twrp or recovery, but all of those couldn't read internal memory or ext sd card. only this version is ok)
then i wipe data and made it factory reset
finally i choose cm11 to install, and then it told that error flashing zip
and now when i boot the device, it won't go to the android system but go to twrp by itself
what should i do now? should i root it before i install cm11? :crying:

Bootloop on YU Logo + E:unable to mount /system /data /cache + Internal storage 0MB

Hi Guys Need expert help !
Suddenly my Yuphoria crashed and when tried to restart it is getting stuck on YU Logo.
-able to go to fastboot mode and tried to flash latest official fast boot images using factory tools but it is unable flash and unable to mount /system /data and /cache partitions.
-as per guide from some of the threads , tried boot to TWRP and tried to repair or wipe partitions but it is giving same error and unable to mount those partition. even tried to change file system-type and that too didn't help (ext4, fat etc)
-in TWRP went to mount option and there it is showing 0mb for internal storage.
-tried to manually mount using terminal (using commands like make_ext4fs) but that also didnt help.
-Boot and recovery partitions are safe !
I think i have lost partitions or internal memory is corrupted ! if partitions are lost or corrupted anyway to rebuild or any other was to fix it ?

Few weeks ago, an suspicious activity was detected on my phone. I have no choice but to select wipe data.
After wiping the phone, I was planning to flash the phone as usual but failed to do it (keep stuck in fastboot).
When I tried to access using twrp, internal sd card was not detected and all I saw was the root directory.
Failed to wipe cache, data (Error message: failed to mount E:\ xxx )
HELPPPP !!!!!!!!! What am I supposed to do now (send back to service center ) ?

The worst case scenario is corrupted internal sdcard.Sorry ,then can't help u ,as I am new here.

@faizauthar12 mention some may be fix of corrupted partition here. If fastboot method of flashing stock miui didn't works then give it a try.

let's see ,if you can flash fastboot
then it's fine..
as long as you can enter fastboot, you still have a hope to flash a right firmware...
