So I got a hold of a retail G930x and was successfully able to install TWRP and factory reset with a stock image, only problem was that I never turned off the FRP lock, and when the phone was restarted while updating SuperSU my recovery was blocked. OK, no problem, just flash a stock ROM through Odin mode right? Well for some reason G930AATT1APB5, and G930FXXU1APB4, do not seem to work. At one point I was able to partialy boot into the stock recovery, but at another flash attempt my computer blue screened and I received the error message "An error has occured while updating the device software. Use Emergency recovery function in the smart switch PC software", but Smart Switch returns an error message of "Device Not Supported". I can still boot into Download mode and attempt flashes, but I can't seem to find a working ROM for this phone or a solution to the stock Recovery issue (which is most likely corrupted by now). Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you.
edit:
edit: so I flashed a recovery image file from ROM.G93xF.XXU1DQFM-v18.0.by.ambasadii.zip and was able to get to the stock recover screen. Unfortunately i get an error message saying "Failed to mount E: /system (Invalid Argument)
Update from external storage is disabled.

Hey guys my phone is stuck on google logo, i have bought it in this condition. Its i9020T and wrong cwm is installed. I am able to put phone in download mode but odin wont recognize it, tried flashing different rom gives me abort with state 7, also when i try to wipe anything it gives me E: Can't find MISC, and E: Can't find CACHE. I have CWM 2.0... I figured wrong CWM can cause the problem, so my question is: how can i update CWM and get phone back to working state?
Hi, I've got a little problem, yesterday I tried to flash Omni ROM and I somehow managed to brick my device. Before I was running on android 4.1.2 with root, downgraded from 4.4.2.. Once I downgraded the android, the device couldn't be recognized by PC, so anytime I try to connect my tablet to PC it just gives me "USB not recognized" message. So, flashing ROMs via ODIN is impossible. (Tried to install/uninstall Kies & drivers many times, aswell as changing ports)
Also, because I'm a genius I have stock recovery on my tablet (Android system recovery <3e>). Which is another problem because whenever I try to flash any .zip file from external SD it gives me following message: "E:failed to verify whole-file signature" (2×) and "E: signature verification failed". I tried to flash stock ROM, which didn't worked, and a few custom ROMs such as Cyanogen mod. None of these worked and I ended up with the same error message.
On top of that, it seems that previous ROM is gone, because Recovery mode won't load /system & /data folders. Is there even a way how to save my Note? If there is, I'll be more than happy, and very thankful if somebody helps me.
#Edit 1
I can still transfer files from PC to SD card that's in the device. However, this doesn't seem to be very helpful since I can't disable that file verification.
Help! I cannot use my phone. I have access to recovery and bootloader but neither can accomplish anything because 1). Odin fails every time 2). My phone cannot find /system. I have tried restoring my phone to stock, but Odin fails. Are there any options left for me?
The bottom of my recover screen says "dm-verity verification failed ... " And "E: failed to mount /system (Invalid argument)".
Any help or guidance is greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

I hope it's that easy. I'll try it tonight and post my success or failure.
I fixed mine by opening odin/prince comey version, then with phone connected choosing the option from the recovery that takes u straight into download mode, then flashing stock rom with odin
Hi,
My phone (S7) got into a boot loop for no apparent reason. I noticed it was a bit hot and it froze a couple of times so I rebooted it and after that it was stuck in a boot loop no matter what. I then tried "flashing" the latest firmware with Odin3 to fix it. Everything was fine in Odin but after the phone rebooted, it couldn't finish installing the patch... It showed an "error!' screen then booted into Android Recovery with these logs:
#fail to open recovery_cause(No such file or directory)#
#Reboot Recovery Cause is UNKNOWN
No Support SINGLE-SKU
File-Based OTA
E:failed to mount /efs (Invalid argument)
supported API: 3
E:failed to mount /efs (Invalid argument)
E:failed to mount /efs (Invalid argument)
dm-verity verification failed...
E:failed to clear BCB message: failed to fin /misc partition

At this point I'm not sure what I can do... I would really like to avoid a factory reset as I have a lot of data on my phone I would like to keep.
Thanks!

Hello, this problem is very common for people that root their phones if you get drk error then there are 2 methods to solve this
Method one : easy
Just flash cf autoroot with odin download the file for your phone and flash it in ap
You may get stuck or get bootloops in splash screen or red errors just wait patiently until rom boots
Method 2 : for if you want no root (ota still impossible)
Flash twrp with odin, then download the no verity file
And move it to your phone, in twrp tap on install and select the file
https://build.nethunter.com/android-tools/no-verity-opt-encrypt/
Just download the latest version of the file (6.0)
Now wait until rom boots
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Please donate and like if you think i deserved it,
If it didnt work you don't have to do it
Happy flashing and good luck
Dont forget to update me after following the steps
I'm a total newbie when it comes to phone flashing, I have a few questions. If I decide to use autoroot, is there a chance for a brick? What could go wrong? I think there's no turning back from rooting a device, right? I don't want to lose my data.
Also, I can't seem to make TWRP work because when I plug the phone to the pc it doesn't recognize it and I can't access it whatsoever to put the files in there, even after installing the drivers.
Thanks!

Flash the stock firmware again but from download the firmware from Samfirm application. Please use the HOME_CSC too or your device is wiped. If you need the firmware just post modelnumber or name idk and CSC code and i can post a link with the firmware for you. TWRP can't mount /data and you will need to format your phone with means you lose everything.

Same issue
I have the same issue. I cant boot into download mode at all to even attempt to flash anything
Hello,
My phone(Samsung galaxy s8) just had a crash and is stuck on the blue screen with "Installing update". After several seconds the screen goes away and boots straight into the recovery mode.
The log that i see in the recovery is :
Fail to open recovery_cause(No such file or directory)
Failed to mount /efs
Unknown volume for path /odm
dm-verity verification failed
I tried to install the stock firmware (I cant link to the webpage but im 100% sure its the correct one) but it wont boot and goes to the "Installing update" again and after that to the recovery.
I tried installing twrp but it wont install due a FRP lock. i read that you should wipe your data and factory reset. Also tried that but again no succes.
Can someone please help me.
Thanks in advance

I'm going to take a guess here, you had the device rooted and then you tried to apply an OTA stock update while the device was rooted? Tyically, stock OTA updates can't be applied to devices that have been rooted because the updates require the device to have an unmodified system partition(no root) and they require stock recovery instead of custom recovery. There are "some" devices that can apply stock updates while rooted, but those are few and far between.
If that is what you did, you need to do some searching for repairing failed OTA updates on rooted devices.
