[HELP] galaxy ace plus soft-unbrick

i've tried this guide and some others on the net, downloading files over files, tried with odin3 v1.85 and v3.09.
putting every time the phone in download mode and flashing the .tar.md5 file when doing it without the pit file it says "use the default pit", attaching the pit it gives a "secure check fail: id 0x95" and one time it displays "partition table doesen't exist".
It would be nice if anyone could help me as soon as possible!!:good:

I think ur partition memory currepted .....
Hit thanks if i helped

i thought it too couse it can't be that it says "partition table doesen't exist", if you know how to fix it, it would be great

ok
did you downloaded the correct firmware from sammobile.com ???
What were you doing when you bricked your phone??​

yes, i did, but it also didn't work i tried different versions but niether that worked.
I bricked my phone flashing through cwm the same rom (cm10.2 by vickig coolest) in order to reinstall the gapps which weren't working before.
Now i tried flashing cm10.2 by dirty developer and it says "e: can't open /sdcard/cm-10.2-20131216-DirtyDev-trebon.zip" if someone could give me a working backup (cwm 6.0.3.3) i could try to restore it.

Dude
While flashing stock firmware open odin and click on nandroid erase all
And then flash firmware
After reboot do a hard reset
Hope it works

[Completed] gt s7392 unable to mount/wipe data

Hey guys i need help. I recently rooted my samsung galaxy trend gt-s7392, so that i can install a custom rom. I have used odin and installed cwm and then installed twrp mod for my device. I still havent wiped my system rom but inorder to install the custom rom i was trying to format the /data partition but for some reason it was stuck in cwm. So i switched to twrp to tackle the problem. But according to logcat , twrp is unable to mount the /data partition and the /data partition shows 0mb in total size and in free space. I cannot mount or format the /data partition but all other partitions are working well and can be mounted and formatted. And if i try to reboot my system in its current state then it just gets stuck in a bootloop. Please tell me what to do so that i can mount and format the /data partition to install the stock or any custom rom. Any help is appreciated. Please help!

Hi, thank you for using XDA Assist. You shouldn't have both CWM and TWRP on your phone at the same time. Something didn't work right right when you tried to replace cwm with twrp. You might have to return your device to stock and start over.

Please help i think i have messed it up pretty bad. My phone boots into recovery but it only shows loading bar in cwm and the picture of an android. I can still boot into download/odin mode but my phone can neither boot into system nor can i use adb shell commands. I cannot even use cwm recovery sice it only shows loading. Please Please Please Help!!!!

Don't panic. Unfortunately there is not a specific forum for your device on XDA. But what you'll want to do is flash the stock firmware in odin.
- Goggle odin 3.07 xda. Extract that and install it on your pc.
- Download the stock firmware from sammobile.com You have to register but it's free. You'll download a zip file. Use 7-zip or winrar to extract it. You'll end up with a .tar.md5 file. That's what you'll use in odin.
- Star odin on your pc
- Put your device in download mode and connect it to your pc with the usb cable
- Using the PDA slot in odin find the .tar.md5 file
- Only have f. reset and auto-reboot checked in odin. DO NOT have re-partition checked.
- run odin
Note: odin can be finicky. Use the usb ports in the back of the PC. You might have to try different usb ports and cables

How can I deep format N8000?

Please, help me!
My N8000 doesn't boot! I can put it in download mode, but I can't flash any rom... I got an error "fail and no re-partition" in odin. I think something was corrupt in partition table of files.
Can I find anywhere 4 files rom ? Pit + BL, CP, ecc. ecc restoring all ?.
I want restore it to factory setting!
Thanks !!!!

heyyy
have today the exactly same problem, flash with odin and heimdall all variations, nothing worked
my solution was to try kies 3
go to tools and select the secound option
write your modell and s/n to kies and let do kies the magic
worked for me 100%
hope it helps
let me now!

Nothing to do for me...
Kies give me an error.... and doesn't go on.
I need a fullfile firmware. I think this is the unique solution.

Deep format dont really know what you mean .
Normal format via cwm recovery is mounts and storage Format sdcard system data cache preload .
Boot to download mode flash stock rom via odin .

I wrote: "I can put it in download mode, but I can't flash any rom... I got an error "fail and no re-partition" in odin."
So, for what reason you write "Boot to download mode flash stock rom via odin"?
Simply I can't flash ANY rom... even with pit file.
I need something to rebuild pit partition in my n8000. Even 4 files firmware + pit ... fails.

You asked How can i Deep Format i replied to that question .

Hello, I have same problem with 8010. After flashing via mobile odin a have infinite bootlop with blue robot on screen. Odin gives me error after opening nand. Any ideas, guys?

How much storage do you have and whats your model. Mine is GT-N8010 w 32GB storage. I can send you a pit file for your model so you can use Re-partition, Nand Erase All, and Phone EFS Clear. Don't try to flash right now as you will end up in a hard brick. Also the BL, CSC, CP is just to flash any other custom ROM like a bootloader or modem file. They're not needed for deep format.

mmm.... sorry... my N800 is located between the waste, now. Too late.

Samsung Galaxy S7 SM-G930F E: Failed to Mount /system (Invalid argument)

Help! I cannot use my phone because while updating to OERO it failed saying :
An error has occurred during update and you have to use emergency firmware recovery on smart switch PC software but smartswitch says it is unsupported device. I have access in download mode but cannot accomplish anything because;
1). Odin fails every time ( gets stuck while flashing system.img (AP)
2). My phone cannot find /system. I have tried restoring my phone to stock, but Odin fails.
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 am in swtizerland with CSC VFG and wanted to flash oreo from UK BTU. I flashed it via odin 3.13.1. and couldn't boot into system only into recovery in which i get the message :
No support SINGLE-SKU
Supported API: 3
Dm-verify error…
E:failed to mount /system (invalid argument)
I can see that in recovery I still have the firmware from switzerland G930FXXS2RC3 instead of UK G930FXXU2ERD5.
In download mode I can see Secure download: enabled and FRP lock : ON, I also remember that i didn't toggle the OEM unlock since flashing official firmware you don't need to be OEM unlocked.

This work for me:
Download BTU Oreo stock files.
Download Odin 3.13...
Change AP file format from *.md5 to *.tar
Flash only APxxx.tar file
Wait to reboot
Enjoy
Hope it work. Good luck!
I was on Oreo BTU Stock and try rooting flashing tarp and when boot on TWRP there was lost data partition. I wasn't able to flash anything via twrp and Odin just reboot the phone. Then I did those steps and and boot normally and everything ok, no data loss.

Hello bro.
I did not come around any fix for that, I had to take it to a repair shop and they fixed it for 40 euros.
While searching on internetil I found some guys who said that they could repair it via Teamviewer from their shop but also had to be paid 35 dollars.
After a while, I found a program which is called ; Octopus Box Samsung which seems to repair NVM, write firmware on samsung phones. I haven't tried it but I'm sure it would work if you do a little research on it and watching tutorials on how to use the app.
Best of luck, and let me know if you come to a fix.
Edit: apparently you need this program and a Samsung Micro UART cable with 530k resistor in irder to work.

NVM is the memory of the phone on which your firmware operates. I never used the octopus box but I read for it on google.and watched som.youtube videos on which they repair NVM through the octopus box. I never heard about z3x box but I assume it does the same function.

bro did you fix your phone

Installing system update fail after Odin flash. Boot into recovery mode.

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.
