i tried rooting my phone on 2.3.5 then found out i needed 2.3.3 max to root, so i tried flashing 2.3.3 to my phone, something went wrong and now after several attepths at restoring it it just boot cycles. i can get into download mode no problem, but it doesnt matter what i flash it tells me it cant mount efs or dbdata. is there a way to fix this or do i need to send my phone off to get it repaired?
melli.
could reflashing the efs sort this? if so where can i download it? cause i can't find the efs.rfs anywhere...

THATS MEAN THE BUILD IN MEMORY CHIP HAS BEEN PHYSICALY DAMGED ONLY REBALLING OR CHANGING THAT CHIP CAN ONLU SOLVE YOU PROBLEM THERE IS NOTHING U CAN SOLVE THIS BUY SOFTWARE ITS NOT A SOFTWARE PROBLEM..................
What planet are you living on mate??? Its nothing to do with a damaged memory chip. Its cause a flash failed and the boot loader is looking for a partition that doesn't exist cause its not all there.
If you must post please make sure you have a clue what you're posting...

So I keep getting this message even after using odin to put on the official firmware.
E:failed to mount /data (Invalid argument)
Can't mount "/data/(Invalid argument)
E:failed to mount /data (Invalid argument)
E: Can't mount /data/log/recovery_log.txt
I think I may have messed up my partition files and I can't find them online.
This all happened after factory resetting my phone while it was rooted. I don't care about any of the data on the phone.
Just want it to work like if nothing was ever on it, or work at all.

If there’s no efs then that phone needs Samsung’s specialist touch. Trying to get another phones imei in that phone is illegal and likely near impossible to do anyway.
Samsung support will be your best bet.
