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.
Hi there,
You'd be best served asking for help from the experts who own your device here:
T-Mobile Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting
good luck
I have a Galaxy Tab 3 that was rooted, stock ROM and fine for a couple of years, over time I noticed the tablet was very laggy and over heating a bit, so I decided to give it to my 11-yo step son. He wanted to refer it back to it's original state with the Samsung OS. I had twrp and he wiped the tablet, without backing anything up.
I used Kies and thought I had fixed everything except now it hangs on the SAMSUNG screen after booting up. Recovery mode shows me a E:failed to mount /efs (Invalid argument). Here is my issue, I have poured over just about all articles so solve this issue. I tried abd sideload, error:closed message. I loaded TWRP back on the recovery mode and tried sideload on that with the same message, Odin has given me no luck. I'm not sure what else I could do, so I'm asking you guys is there a way to remove the error message or load a EFS file to get this bad boy up and running?
Solved
Okay so after spending days looking for a solution, so far I think I may have found a fix.
I was able to get TWRP loaded back on the tablet with the SD card. Using TWRP go to advanced and then terminal, I typed the following:
mke2fs /dev/block/mmcblk0p3
mount -w -t ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p3
reboot
The tablet rebooted into the OS I put on there, and is so far functioning properly, all my information is in my status of the device also. If anyone else has tried to use the ADB SHELL command and was met with the error:closed using the TWRP terminal command will allow you use the work around to repair the E:failed to mount /efs (Invalid argument) without a backup.
Hope this helps someone else out!!
