Hi guys,
i've a samsung p6200 and i was running on ics 4.0.4 austria, then i've tried to move to P6200/P6210/T869 CyanogenMod 10 using cwm recovery.
so, since then i couldn't install any other rom without bootlooping.
I tried putting back ICS (previous version) using odin like i did before, it completes without errors but i get stuck on galaxy logo.
I tried several ways of flashing through cwm and heimdall, all go through but end up with the same results :S
Can i get some help? I'm kinda lost here and don't know what to try next.
Thanks in advance.

Your EMMC is gone, tipical hard brick ! look at releated thread ....
It's possible you have executed a "Factory reset" from ICS recovery before ?

Hi,
After a weekend lost searching for a fix to my problem I've decided to take the Tab to repair at the dealer. my tab has an insurance and i will activate it.
for a small resume, i've scanned for partition errors, having received I/O error on mmcblk9 / 10 / 11.
i tried re-partition without success
at last i 've flashed my tab with pit file modified for devices who have bad sector issues and i nearly succeeded, because get an ICS boot but gave me a message that need to do a data wipe because of some encryption. when i made the wipe with the CWM recovery i get mount /data and /sdcard error...
so once that i have insurance i'll use it .
the bad news is that it can take up to ninety days, i'll prai that does not happen and take much less time.
tks
Hi Guys.
I am new to Android and XDA so please HELP.
I am from India. I own a galaxy tab 2 P3100 which was purchased from Singapore. However one day suddenly it got stuck in boot-loop while I was switching it on. I too it the same day to Samsung Care, but they were not able to do anything.
When they returned my tab there was black screen and error - firmware update encounter an issue please connect to kies.
Soon after that I started Reading XDA threads and downloaded 3-4 stock ROM of Samsung tab of different different regions - India, Taiwan, Germany, etc. All ROMs were 4.1.2 Android. I tried flashing them on my tab using Odin 3.09. I started with Taiwan it failed at hidden.img. Same with german and Indian.
Then after installing Indian ROM I also installed CWM recovery and and booted my device normally. It booted without any problem. However as soon as it started the whole screen was white with only back button and an error - Encryption Failed and contained a button called- factory reset.
When I click the button the device powers off and reboots in recovery and do a hard reset with lots of error. However after doing so there is no effect on the error.
Please help.

do you also change some settings in odin like checking or unchecking the re partition option ??
also by default is re partition checked or unchecked ??
I have already tried different different options.
My Custom ROM count is over 40.
Nothing has happened yet.
So please help.
Which recovery do you have??

Hello guys, i have Moto G 1st Gen. Indian version (XT1033) running android 5.0.2... Yesterday i rooted my moto g by unlocking bootloader and flashing TWRP 2.8.6.0-XT1032 & SuperSU 2.45... During the process there was some error (like general unlock failure, wipe partition failure etc). I ignored them and continued... It was booted normally... Then i installed Root Checker and confirmed that root has been done successfully....
After that i tried to make a Nandroid backup using TWRP. Message popped up saying that backup is successful.. Then i pressed reboot system. Then it went into bootloop (stuck at bootloader unlocked warning message). :crying:
When this happened, i thought to flash recovery again and flash stock rom. By the time i downloaded stock rom, the phone discharged completely. Now the phone is not charging I have tried using usb charging through pc and using socket charger, but it's stuck at 0%... (I have kept it for hours) Sometime it try to boot and bootloader unlocked warning appears and stuck there.. after sometime it again go into battery charging logo with 0% and then repeat the process again.. When i try using usb cable, the same cycle continues with frequent connecting and disconnecting... :crying:
What to do now ? I guess it's not possible to flash stock rom without any charge... How to charge my phone ? What other option(s) do i have ?
PS : Sorry if this has been already discussed.

You must not use TWRP from its official site
Those people have not fixed this ****ty bug and many people have got bootloops due to this including me
Use the one available in xda
Solution-
Try to boot the phone in bootloader mode
Whenever the device shows the moto logo immediately press and hold power button and as soon as the screen goes black immediately press and hold power + volume down bottom and it should boot into bootloader
Charge the phone through a USB in bootloader mode
And then either flash the stock firmware again or use custom ROMs

Okk, i was able to go into bootloader mode and charge through usb cable.. But, since then i am trying again & again to flash a rom to get my phone working but everytime something is going wrong.. First i tried to flash stock rom but it was frequently rebooting. So then i tried to flash Resurrection Remix : now it's stuck at RR logo screen for 2 hrs.. Don't know what am i doing wrong ... I am very much frustrated right now... I am now thinking to flash optimised stock rom... Some help from your side will be very helpfull :
1. Please tell me which recovery to use for peace of mind and please give me link for that.
2. I am thinking to use This stock rom to flash. ( I am facing problem with untouched version) Please tell me the exact procedure . Flash recovery > Wipe cache, dalvik, system,data in recovery > Flash rom and then do i need to flash the radio version ? And if i want to root, can i flash SuperSU after that ?
Please Note : I know that what i am asking can be found after a little bit of searching. But i have wasted 4 days and still remaining at the the same spot. Your 15 minutes time can save my another 4 days and put away my frustration i am facing right now. I am asking this because i have gone into such a state that i am thinking of throwing my phone and sleeep right away.. Please do me a favor.

You MUST use the stock version 2.8.6.0 ( do not use the gpe version)
Do not use 2.8.6.0.1 ( it still has bugs)
Flash the recovery through fastboot
Then one by one wipe the following and tell me if any error occurs
System
Data
Cache
Dalvik cache
You must report back the error that comes in recovery logs when you wipe these partitions

It appears that all your partitions are corrupted
You need to format them
In TWRP format ( not wipe) all partitions
The option to format data partition is straight forward and given in wipe menu
For other partitions (system ,cache) go to wipe---> advanced wipe and change the file system of system and cache partition to ext4 ( don't change to anything else)
This will format them
Try this and then try to do normal wipes and see if you are successful and report back

Yes, now format is successful. Formatting data for first time showed some error but in second time it was successful.
So, what to do now ? I want to go to stock.. So, anything in that direction will be helpful..
Can i flash the link i have posted ? if yes, then do i need to flash radio firmware ?

The link you posted is not pure stock
Its optimised means it is a custom version of stock ROM
The same dev ( @lost101 ) also provides pure versions of stock rom flashable through recovery so try that if you want a pure Motorola ROM
But I suggest you to use CM 12.1 now, as its based on android 5.1.1 its always better then stock 5.0.2 in terms of stability plus you get plenty of customization options and there's already a built in root manager
And the ROM is getting better day by day
So finally its your choice
PS:- No need to flash radio

As a general info, just don't play with fastboot commands and now don't try to flash stock firmware through fastboot again as it most likely will mess with your partitions
And for trying different ROMs you need a backed up system and data partition with a fully working recovery, then experiment with whatever ROM you want there is no harm ( if the ROM don't boot you can force reboot and restore the backup you made)
Link to CM 12.1 nightlies
https://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=falcon
And just so you know cm is fully stable, I have been using it for three months and I never looked back at stock ones
So flash the latest nightly

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
