Tablet: GT-P5100
Recovery: TWRP 2.8.5.0
ROM on tablet: CM 12.1 (at least i think, cannot check)
What happend:
After a failed update (could have been low battery) i got the message in safemode that encryption had failed and i had to factory reset.
What did i do:
Rebooted into recovery and tried to factory reset. That failed. With the error message the /data failed to mount.
Since the data on it was unimportant i followed a fix that suggested changing the partition type to something else then EXT4 and then change it back to EXT4.
This sadly also failed.
Tried flashing the original ROM with Odin, but while it started (could see progress on the computer and tablet) it failed at system.img (upload got stuck after 50% i think and failed after a while)
Any ideas? its an old tablet which i mainly use to fill in web forms while i'm working and check manuals. So if i destroy it now its no big deal and i will get a 2nd hand 3g/4g one for cheap.

hi all,
i have a problem with my xperia l. here's the story :
originally, i have xl with cm12 installed + re-partitioned internal (i'm using this guide), but i have stability issue after some time. then i tried resurrect remix rom, but i still have my problem (even worsen). so i was thinking about checking with stock rom, and i tried to flash stock rom back. but there's a error when processing userdata.sin on first try. i thought my tft was corrupted, so i tried to re-download it and tried flashing again, but the error still there.
after third attempts, the error message started to differ (forgot to log it ). so i tried to get into recovery, but i found error about "failed to mount /cache", "failed to mount /system" and so on. i have tried to mount manually in recovery menu, but failed, and sdcard read 0mb.
i have tried to solve by myself and some solution from forums, and still got no luck with it. what i have tried :
- trying to re-flashing tft again and again. latest error when processing loader.sin :
ERROR - (X10flash.java:520) - Error in processHeader : 22 : The device does not recognize the command.
- trying some recovery like cwm, thunderzap, twrp (i tried after read this post), but no luck and can't find restore filesystem menu).
- trying accessing adb, can't get in
- finally able to get into terminal from twrp, but only found parent folder without anything inside.
so, i think the partitions are damaged or something happened to them and i can't access them.
please help.... :crying:
NB. currently boot into fastboot, flashmode, recovery, charging, led, flashing boot.img, and external sdcard still working, so i hope my xl still can be saved :angel:. and i'm sorry for any typo
UPDATE :
finally hardbricked my phone. i'm getting impatient waiting some reply and no luck searching forum. so i messing around by myself, and found problem on superblock. i've fixed superblock once on linux, but in adb some commands are unavailable, and i can't search for backup superblock, so i tried to reformatted it (followed guide from some nexus forum, well, thinking androids have same base), and then i accidentally disconnect the usb. next is, well, i screamed.
Did you find any solution of this problem????
Hello! I installed BlissPop on my tablet before getting the new one from the callback program. This worked fine for several months, until suddenly the tablet decided not to boot.
The current situation:
The tablet boots onto the Nvidia logo, stays there for about 3 mins, then starts booting BlissPop. The boot is then stuck at the BlissPop animated loading screen. (It does not freeze the tablet or anything like that)
The tablet is not bricked (I think). I do not get the bricked error when checking on serial number. I dont remember which version of BlissPop i flashed over half a year ago.
What I have tried:
1) Flash a new custom ROM through Recovery, installing from zip through adb. I get an error while installing from zip:
- mount: failed to mount /dev/block/platform/sdhci-tegra.3/by-name/UDA at /data: Invalid argument.
- unmount of /data failed; no such volume.
- Patching system image unconditionally
Also, I cannot mount /data or /cache from CWM. Is my partition table messed up?
2) Flash to stock recovery image, through fastboot.
These steps always end up in the same way, nothing has happened during the flashing or installation. The device is still in the same state.
3) I tried installing another recovery type (now using CWM v.6.0.5.0), but I always end up with the old one.
What seems to be the common result on whatever I try, is that nothing happens. I even tried erasing all the data from the tablet, but nothing changes. Still boots into BlissPop and is stuck there. It seems like I cannot write anything to the tablet. Recovery mode (CWM) is also VERY slow, and it takes about 3 mins to get into CWM from fastboot bootloader screen.
Does anyone have any idea what I'm doing wrong, or have any tips for new things to try out?
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)

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
I've got an old Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 (N8010) which was flashed to a custom ROM (Cyanogenmod) in 2016. I'm not sure what version because I'm unable to boot it. A few weeks ago, the tablet rebooted without reason and got stuck on the Cyanogenmod bootscreen forever. I've let it run for 24 hours without result.
So this is what I tried:
Reboot into recovery mode (TWRP 2.8.6.0) and wipe everything. Then I tried to flash a different ROM, but when the device reboots, everything seems to be reset and it tries to boot the old corrupted ROM again. I also tried a newer version of LineageOS. But for that, I need a newer TWRP version. So I download and put the newest TWRP version on it using ODIN mode. Flash Passes says ODIN, but after reboot, TWRP 2.8.6.0 is still being loaded. I tried it again without 'reboot' checked so I can reboot directly back into recovery manually, but this also, didn't worked. (by the way, ADB works when loading TWRP, FASTBOOT doesn't work when loading ODIN mode, fastboot doesn't recognize the device)
I tried to flash stockrom back onto the device, also using ODIN mode. Flash passes, no errors. Device reboots and.. nope! It still tries to load the old Cyanogenmod forever.
I'm basically stuck here. I can't update to a newer Recovery and I cant flash the rom because everytime I reboot the device, everything change i made is gone.
I noticed that when I list files in /data the folder seems to be empty.
I also tried to reformat /data to fat and back to ext4 but formatting to fat fails and formatting to ext4 succeeds, however, after a reboot, everything i did seems to be undone by the device. Even the time and date is reset.
Is there a way I can bring back my tablet back to life? Thank you!
I have pulled the recovery.log file and uploaded it to pastebin.
I can't post a link to it because I do not have made 10 posts yet.. (very anoying). So i put the adress here:
https://pastebin.com/3muqPMzz
FSCK check on /data returned this:
Code:

e2fsck 1.41.14 (22-Dec-2010)
/dev/block/platform/dw_mmc/by-name/USERDATA: recovering journal
Superblock needs_recovery flag is clear, but journal has data.
Run journal anyway<y>? y
yes
e2fsck: unable to set superblock flags on /dev/block/platform/dw_mmc/by-name/USERDATA
And Odin mode: NAND ERASE ALL returns
Code:

It seems like my Note 10.1 tablet is suffering from the emmc brick bug.

Some of what you describe seems to suggest that your internal sdcard is corrupted, but, you still have TWRP booting. I would think that TWRP wouldn't boot if the internal was damaged.

I can boot twrp but anything I do in there is temporary. I can't write to the internal SD. Only read. Seems like the emmc brick bug to me. I wish there was a way to check if this is absolutely true.
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.
