help to solve"cant mount cache"problem/not booting - Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin

Hi,
Writing this to seek you help! My second phone, Galaxy grand duos (i9082). Suddenlty went dead and now struck on boot logo. I have tried flashing Cm/Stock roms through both recovery and Odin. But I am getting this error message
===
E: Can’t mount Cache/recovery
Or
E:failed to mount/cache (no such file or directory)
===
Can you please suggest is there anything I can try to revive the phone?
Ps: The stock rom files I have downloaded are having only one zip file than three to place in PDA/CSC/PHONE tabs of ODIN. As PIT file is not available separately, I am not able to try re-partion. With my limited knowledge, the problem is more on account of readability of drives/memory. Please suggest if I should try to download the stock firm ware again from different source to get PIT file and try again>
Thanks in advance for your help!!

You'll need to flash Stock firmware.
1. On your Computer, in Task Manager, kill all Kies related processes.
2. Open ODIN and put that single TAR file in PDA section. Others will be blank.
3. Make sure that Re-partition is NOT TICKED. A mistake here could make your device dead.
4. Flash
You should be good to go :good:
General rule :
a) if Firmware has only 1 file (it will be either tar or tar.md5) it will go in PDA. Others blank.
b) NEVER tick Re-partition option if you don't have pit file. Generally it is not required.
Let me say (for first time ever ) I AM TRYING TO HELP YOU BUT WON'T BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE YOU DO TO YOUR DEVICE.
Good luck :good::laugh:

[GUIDE][PRO DUOS] Recover B5512 from soft brick using ODIN

I have soft-bricked my phone by trying to install a different kernel and ROM on my Pro Duos B5512.
Flashing only the kernel in the thread by championswimmer didn’t work because of a md5 mismatch.
This guide should also work with other samsung models if you find the right firmware (search on http://www.mod2xtreme.com/ or http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1656825)

There I downloaded the latest firmware for Europe. Using Odin3 v1.85 I flashed successful and my phone is back up and running!
Here is a step by step:
1. Download and install KIES by Samsung (Odin needs these drivers to work)
2. Download odin3 1.85 (search on xda)
3. Download a firmware pack on mod2extreme
4. Open Odin and put the phone into download mode (volume down+Home+power, then select volume up to enter download mode)
5. Wait for your computer the finish the automatic driver program and your computer should recognize your phone
6. Now select the following files in ODIN (make shure auto reboot and F. reset time is selected)
-> PIT is the .pit file in the firmware map, the box in ODIN to Re-partition should be automatically checked now (if there isn't a pit file then this remains empty)
-> BOOTLOADER, select the file which has BOOT in the file name
-> PDA, select the file which contains PDA in the file name
-> PHONE, select here the file which has MODEM in the file name
-> CSC, select the file which has CSC in the file name
Info:For Save Use Do Not Use Boot loader and pit file. Do this only if everything else failed!
When everything is set-up click start and keep your fingers crossed! When everything goes according to plan your phone should restart, copy some files to system and the reboot again. Your phone is back to life! (boot could take 2-3 min)
Hope you fix your phone!

dude the download link dosnt work..
Thaks for the great guide. In Nitubhaskar's compact kernel thread for our device he gave advice on how to flash stock kernel and recover from soft brick in case you brick phone while flashing custom kernel. Can you add some of that info here and credit the appropriate persons? It would be great to have all relevant soft brick info for our device. Yor thread is dedicated to recovering from soft brick and so would be the best place to have all the facts in one piece

Hi, I have not used odin before, but my phone (B5512 galaxy y pro duos)
has a firmware from another country and I want to have my own
(because then I can write in my language). I have downloaded a file which
has "modem"," csc" and "pda" files only and it's the firmware other people
from my country have (B5512XXLF2) . I think my phone has Polish firmware (B5512XXLL1)
while I want the Greek one. Also, these two types seem the same
(the only difference in the code is the year month and version)
but one has greek keyboard and the other doesn't, what's the deal with that?
Will this method work for me? If not can I recover my phone?
I have not done this before and the phone is less than a month old and I am scared!
Thank you.
Recovery via odin should be possible. As for flashing Greek firmware I recommend you talk to Deadly or another expert via PM before proceeding.

[Q] Help with I9192 - I need the PIT file in order to repartition after encryption

Hello,
I have enabled full encryption on my I9192 with 4.2.2 firmware a month ago.
Now I did a hard reset, and even after flashing with various firmware via ODIN on every boot the phone is asking for the encryption password.
I just can't remove it no matter what I do via ODIN, except the PIT option.
Can someone with working I9192 3G 8GB model please send me the PIT file, so I can try to repartition (and hopefully remove the encryption password) ?
Thank you in advance guys !
I have a backup made with Efs Pro that also made an .pit file
Not sure if it is the same as Odin .pit file tho I never used repartition on any phones i had
Try to open the file with PIT Magic and see if all is ok

Many thanks, SilviuMik !
I have just solved the issue in another way that might be useful for the other users that face the same issue:
- the CWM provided with the custom I9192 firmwares seems to ignore the encrypted /data partition and even if it I format it, and CWM says it's formatted, it's not.
- the solution: load OEM unmodified firmware with ODIN (I9192XXUAMF7,I9192XXUAMF9,I9192XXUAMH2), then boot in recovery mode and from there select "format data partition". The OEM recovery seems to be able to format the encrypted /data partition, so now the phone booted normally.
I'll keep this file just in case I need to repartition, so many thanks again for the quick answer !
Best wishes on the New Year eve and 2014 !
I9192 official pit file

pit files for i317 and i317m

As a general FYI, if you think you need to repartition your phone it is also possible that your phone has experienced:
a) A hardware issue, possibly partial or total emmc failure.
b) A mismatch between bootloader (sboot.bin) and trustzone (tz.img) versions. See this post or my MK6 stock thread for some possible options to fix this.
As a step of last resort to recreate the partition table on your phone, a pit file may be what you need. This can be done in either Odin or Heimdall.
Warning - repartitioning your phone may erase all data and might cause other unintended consequences. You assume all risk.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To use a pit file in Odin, this is typically done as part of a flashing a stock rom package, like the LJ2 or MA4 package for the i317 (or similar package for the i317m). You specify the pit file in the PIT section, make sure the repartition box is checked, and then add the rom package in the PDA section like usual.
If you are running an official 4.3 or later bootloader you will not be able to successfully flash a stock firmware package that contains earlier bootloaders - Odin will hang and you will need to find a different stock package to flash that does not contain a bootloader. (i.e. If you took the the i317 4.3 OTA and are running the MK6 bootloader or a later bootloader, you'll want to avoid UCAMA4)
The attached zip includes pit files for both the i317 and the i317m. The partition mapping is the same for both (see the included analysis files), but the pit files have unique security signatures which are accepted only by the bootloader of the specific model phone for which they are intended. I've tested the file for the i317 and can confirm that it works as intended. The file for the i317m was pulled the same way by an XDA member (thanks @plemen !) with an i317m and I've confirmed it is formatted correctly. It has now been confirmed as working.
If you want to learn a bit more about pit files, check out this thread by Adam Outler:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2540480
Very interested in this, as I need the pit file for my I317. Question about the bootloader, though.... I've never taken an OTA, just flashing CM and OmniROM nightlies (was on 4.4.2 when my phone committed suicide). Should I be safe to use this pit file? And what factory firmware would you recommend to go with it?
pit files should be back in a day or two (I'll be testing over the weekend).
Depending on what happened to your phone it's still highly probable that your pit (partition) data is fine. There's a way to confirm this using Heimdall - when time permits I'll add instructions to post #2. That's a safer first step than attempting a repartition.
As for bootloader and firmware - if you've never taken an OTA, and you're not on a 4.3 bootloader your best bet for stock firmware is UCAMA4. It's a more complete and somewhat newer package than the other option (UCALJ2). You can get this from sammobile, or a mirror copy I have linked in post #2 here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2589891
that post also has information on a couple apps you can load that will allow you to check which bootloader you have loaded once your phone is operational.
Thanks for doing this! Did you have any luck over the weekend? Looking to re-partition as I'm unable to mount.

I expected a test phone on Saturday that didn't arrive until Tuesday thanks to the USPS getting the day off on Monday. Once I confirm the files work as intended I will repost them.
As for the issue you are having - what partition isn't mounting? Can you provide more detail?

The Note 2 (ATT) suddenly rebooted and stuck on the "Samsung Galaxy Note 2" screen. A couple reboots and a battery pull did not solve the issue. I even let the phone stay on the screen in the event it needed to do some sort of repair.. but after an hour, nothing changed.
I loaded CWM recovery and got recovery mount errors. Also, I am unable to mount any of the internal file system when attempting from the advanced menu. After a couple of hours of following tutorials I went into download mode and installed the stock ATT rom. It was successful but still did not boot (attempted this twice). I came upon a few suggestions for similar issues that said the PIT file was needed to repartition. I used Beanstalk 4.4.2 before the crash.

The symptoms you describe are similar to those I've seen on the Q&A forum recently. I don't want to be the bearer of bad tidings, but I suspect you have a partial emmc (hardware) failure.
My time during the week is limited so I expect to have testing done this weekend.

http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23060877490003986
Instructions:
1. Download "back to stock" zip folder I uploaded. It contains all the files needed. No need to search around.
2. Unzip the file and extract the folder to your desktop.
3. Open folder and install Samsung drivers if not already done so.
4. Now make sure you have root and custom recovery on the phone. Turn the phone off. Hold volume up, home and power button at the same time.Wait till u see custom recovery screen and then let go off all the buttons.
5. Once in recovery... delete data, system, cache, dev cache like you want to flash a new rom. Turn the phone off by pulling the battery or see option for power off device under custom recovery.
6. Once the phone is completely off lets get into download mode. Hold volume down, home and power button until you see the screen with an option to press volume up to get into download. Press volume up to enter download mode when asked.
7. Now open odin3.07 I provided in the folder u downloaded. Once open connect your phone via usb. Windows should install device drivers. Once thats done, you should see com## on the Odin software.
8. On odin software you should see button called PDA. Click on it and browse to the file called KIES_HOME_I317UCALJ2_I317ATTALJ2_215287_REV04_user _low_ship.tar. in the folder provided by me. select it and hit ok. Odin will process the file. It will take max 2 to 3 min.
9. Before you click start on Odin make sure auto reboot and F. reset time is checked only. Everything else unchecked. Click start button. Odin will start flashing the factory firmware. It will take time.
10. Once Odin is done flashing. phone will reboot. Now you can disconnect the usb cable. When phone is fully rebooted, skip all the prompt and get to home screen.
11. Turn the phone off again and get into download mode. Connect usb cable to computer with Odin open. Click Pda and select file called CF-Auto-Root-t0lteatt-t0lteatt-samsungsghi317.tar. Let Odin process it and then click start. Once flashing the root file is done. Phone should reboot to home screen. Now you have root. The reason we need root is to get rid of counter # in download more. It should say zero.
12. Connect your phone to computer while on the home screen. Open phone internal storage and go to download folder and copy Triangle away.apk into it.
13. Go into settings and security and check unknown sources.
14. Go to apps and open application "my file". Go to download folder and select triangle away application to install. install it. Open application application and scroll down and select reset counter option. Make sure your are connected to wifi. Confirm you phone is I317 and triangle away will download the file. Your phone should reboot into some type of reset counter recovery screen. follow the instruction on the screen to reset the counter. After that phone should reboot.
15. Once rebooted uninstall triangle away apk. Now open super user application and scrool down and click fully unroot. When done go into stock recovery and clear data and cache. reboot phone. All done. Your counter is set to zero. Your phone should read normal under settings.
You can update your phone under settings from att servers.
Enjoy.
Thanks to chainfire for his triangle away app and root for our device.

Sent from my SGH-I317 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Pit files are back up and attached to the OP. The i317 pit file is tested and confirmed working.
The i317m file is identical, except for the security signature. I'm currently looking for someone with a healthy i317m willing to test flash the i317m pit file to confirm it works. (I would do this myself, but I don't have an i317m).
Unfortunately it did not work for me. emmc failure suspected. Strange thing is that in ODIN I can still "Successfully" install a ROM.. and even the PIT file succeeded. I still got a logo screen for several minutes.
Fortunately for me, I have an additional mainboard from a otherwise damaged note 2. I'll be swapping that out.
Thank you anyway. Hope your file helps others!
My phone was not booting and stopped at Samsung logo. After the pit file and stock rom, my phone is live again. I am still having issue with storage but at least I have good starting point.
thanks
Works fine on i317m

what i found so far:
I figured out that this is causing due to corrupted internal sdcard partition.Anyone give me a solution.How to fix a corrupted internal sdcard partition
I Fixed it by myself.
IF you also facing this you can fix it by this method
1. Run Odin with Administrator Privileges. Hope everyone is familiar with using Odin
2.Connect your Galaxy Grand Duos I9082 inn Download Mode (HOLD Volume Down+Home Button+Power) and see phone gets detected by Odin.
3. Click on the PIT Button in Odin and select the .pit file you have downloaded.
4. Click on PDA, and Browse for the original Stock Firmware File of Samsung Galaxy Grand I9082.
5. Ensure that The Checkboxes Auto Reboot, Re-Partition, F. Reset Time are checked.

Thanks for sharing.
But don't forget, pit file usually different from device to device, just certain is the same. If wrong pit file flashed to wrong device, might brick it.

Phone Stuck on Dowloading (Do not turn off target)

Hi,
Phone; SM-AF520F
My phone has been restarting on its own from the past month and I ignored it. It showed me occasionally Google services failed or system UI is not responding.
I factory resetted the phone as any noob would do and the restart occurrence went to only at night, which I was unbothered with. A little time passed and the phone went to the downloading sky blue screen.
I'm aware with flashing roms and stuff but I never really tried it. I tried everything;
i) Used Odin, three different versions
ii) Used Stock firmware, three different versions
iii) Used Smart switch
The phone only went in download phase and than in the phase where you press home button, volume and power and it shows fonts in the left hand corner. Odin always giving me errors, sometimes stucking on setting up connection.
Two errors:
i) There is no PIT partition
ii) Write operation failed
There are always these things happening.
When I restarted with volume down and power key, the system showed, there was an error and try smart switch, updated my drivers but when I go in the settings to emergency recover my phone, it does not show my phone.
After restarting the phone couple of time, Im in downloading mode again, in between the screen also turns full sky blue with no text.
I tried installing custom recovery but the image didn't load, ( I dont know what i am doing at this point, even if this was a good idea).
I have scavanged every forum, every post, everything on the internet but I just can't seem to fix it, I tried every possible thing and it just dosent work. I know it can be fixed but I don't know how. I know I'm doing something stupidly wrong but I can't seem to figure it out.
This is an old phone, I'm going to buy another one soon but I just hope it works for another week? Can I wipe the whole system and start from scratch (Which i dont know how to do).
Any type of help would be greatly appreciated, or just tell me to give up hope on it so I can just throw it away and move on.
1-Install 7zip application in windows
Then using 7zip, try to open file (in stock ROM files) -⇾ "CSC_ODD_***"
2-There is your phone pit file for a520f.
Extract that file and keep it between your stock Rom files.
3-Download the Odin from this link and open it:
https://dl2018.sammobile.com/Odin3-v3.14.4.zip
4-Go to download mode (blue screen) in your phone!
Add 4 part of your ROM to Odin.
Then in pit tab of Odin add your phone pit file!
5-In option tab of Odin toggle Re-Partition option.
6-click on start and wait until it shows a green icon and phone restarting!
It must be fixed!

Thank you for your response.
I did what you exactly said, previously it failed at the instant, now it moved one tab and than failed.
I tried the provided Odin, than tried two roms with, with the pit filed extracted and enabled re partition.
The error occurred: Complete(write) operation failed.
The error occurred every time I tried to flash, it never worked.
Do you think there is anything else to do?
Try this way to go download mode:
Press vol-down + power until phone restart
Then instantly press vol-up + Home + Power to going to download mode!
If it not works for you! You can use (eMMC programmer or easy JTAG) to writing rom on your phone memory (Last Option)!
I gave up on it and asked for professional help. Idk what he did, but he fixed the phone. It was sluggish at first but it works like a charm now.
It took 7 minutes to turn it on, than It said, there was an authorized user who tried to access your phone, use your previous email password to access your phone. I put it on my previous details and the works okay after some updates.
I wonder what he did? And i never knew android has a feature where if somone tries to reset your phone, google account locks it? Wow.
Is flashing a custom os a good idea? I'm afraid I'll brick it or something or just keep running one ui and wait for it to die again.
Thank you for your help btw, made me learn alot.
