If you haven't figured this out yet I'll throw in my 2 cents.
Start here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2678420
I don't know exactly what heimdall is but odin should work just fine for this. Try a few different odin versions if you have to as it has changed a lot over the years since the release of this phone.
Also make sure to uncheck reboot from odin, unplug after reflash, pull battery, then manually go to recovery immediately after flashing. If you get anywhere besides the TWRP you have to flash again.

CWM errors
Hi,
Thanks for the great instructions! I followed them precisely but as I boot to the recovery mode (power+T) I get the following errors nor any commands work in CWM. I even tried to flash the CWM with ODIN again.
CWM-based recovery v.5.0.2.7
E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/Command
E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/log
E: Can't open /cache/recovery/log
E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/last_log
E: Can't open /cache/recovery/last_log
Please note that I had a stock Samsung Galaxy GT-I5510 with Android 2.3.6. So I have not rooted my phone in any way. Should I? How can I do it? Thank you for your support!
P.S. As I will get the CWM Recovery to work I will flash CyanogenMod 10.2.

You want to put SD card with CyanogenMod 10.2 and gapps to your phone, then choose option install wipe data/factory reset, install zip from SD card and choose .zip file containing CyanogenMod 10.2, and then install gapps and restart the phone.
Phone doesn't reboot
Hi,
I hope anybody reads this.
I downloaded the .tar.md5 files and proceeded with the instructions.
Though Odin tells me that it's flashing the telephone this is the last message of the log "<1> Close serial port and wait until rebooting."
And nothing happens afterwards. I can only see that the phone switches on again, but the screen stays dark.
Can you help me with anything? I already spent hours because i just tried to get a custom recovery on the phone because I couldn't install CyanogenMod from the SD card.

Which version of odin are you using?
Hi,
It's 4.43
I also started it as administrator and tried different USB-Ports.
What does the .ops file contain? Some register adresses?

Try odin 4.34.
.ops file contains partition table of your phone.
So first I flashed the stock firmware back again to be safe that at least it's still working. That was successful.
Ok I forgot to install the GB bootloader, I didn't mention this. But from the links of the first page none is working anymore.
Can you provide me one?
Also now I can't get into the stock recovery anymore with "T + Power".

PLEASE Help! Stuck on Startup screen after Odin

Hello all
I was updating my gf phone from rooted UVALJ4 or UVALH2 (Cant remember now, but it was an old Firmware) to root66 T999_UVUENC2 via Odin 3.09 on my Win 7 pc but after the odin install (which passed) I rebooted the phone and I got stuck on the Samsung logo on the start up screen. After about 10 mins I pulled the battery and tried to enter the Recovery mode, but nothing appears. Just a black screen.
So i Odin flashed the TWRP 2.6.3.1 to try to get to a recovery, but that didnt work. Still no Recovery.
I then used odin to flash the stock tmobile UVUENC2 4.3 firmware and it still gets stuck on the Samsung screen.
Next I tried to unbrick it via http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2439367 using "SGH-T999 4.3 only Debrick Image" and reflashed the stock 4.3 rom, but that didnt work. :crying:
What can I try next? WHat should I do? I can still access download mode, thats about it.
Please help if you can.
Thx
I dont know how but I got the stock recovery to finally appear and now I get these errors (see Pic) what do these mean?
The recovery errors read: E:failed to mount /data ( Invalid argument) can't mount "/data" (invalid argument)
E: Can't mount /data/log/recovery_log.txt
again thx

Never Mind Used Unified Android Toolkit to fix recovery and flash stock rom.
Thank god for that toolkit.
...time to donate
:victory:
Mod Please delete Thread.
Thx
In the future, try a factory reset, almost all boot hangs are solved with this. Happens because of incompatible data between versions, which would make sense condidering the jump you made. Kind of makes sense with the error message too, but I'm not 100% certain there.
Be careful with the toolkit. There is no support for it and it has bricked phones in the past.

S4 bootloop, E:failed to mount /system (Invalid argument)

Hello everyone,
i'm new to android devices and english is not my native language, so i'll try to explain my problem as well as i can.
the GT-I9195 won't boot, if i turn it on it freezes in the booting screen (the white logo with the model number).
so my first try was to recover it to factory settings by pressing volume up+home button+power. unfortunately this results in a red text that tells me: "E: failed to mount /system (invalid argument)", so the phone can't access the files that are needed for the recovery.
now i thought maybe kies could help me with this emergency firmware recovery but kies doesn't even recognize the phone, it stucks at trying to connect to the device.
ok at this point i knew this is getting complicated, i think the next step is trying to flash the right firmware by hand and restore the files needed for the recovery, buuut i don't know which firmware is the right one since i can't check the correct PDA/CSC/MODEM number.
now my question is how can i figure out which stock firmware is the right one, or maybe i can use some sort of costum firmware?
do i need to download any other files to make the phone work again? i ask that because when i open the odin tool there are buttons with bootloader/pda file/etc.
i hope that just somehow the files got corrupted and the intern flash memory ist still working and not damaged...
thanks in advance

E: fail to mount /efs, /system, /verification

One day after I charged my note 2 phone (SGH-T889), unplugged charger and started playing an app game for 5 mins. The phone suddenly crashed and began to restart nonstop but couldn't get passed the welcome screen animation. Eventually, it kept restarted and stuck in the logo screen.
I tried all the factory reset, wipe cache in recovery mode (holding the 3 buttons), taking out SD card, or all the basic stuff. The phone is not rooted at all. I even tried to install firmware through ADB (with digital signed software) but still failed to do so (even with some software to sign the zip file) because i got signature verification error. I also see failed to mount efs and system error. Also I wouldn't be able to get into recovery mode unless i hook up the usb, otherwise it will continuously fail to reboot in the logo screen.
I would like some guidance to reformat/ flash the whole phone with files linked or attached. Any official firmware version is fine for me. I only just learned ADB but I know nothing about odin. I don't want to root the phone if possible. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much!
The stock ROM for your phone can be found here: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SPH-L720T/
The stock ROM from sammobile is flashed via Odin as Odin is Samsung's official flashing method.

Open Odin, uncheck everything except f reset time, flash rom, when you see the word reset in the status window, remove cable from the phone, remove battery, replace battery, boot into recovery, wipe, and reboot.

Doesn't work after i put back battery in. In fact, i had trouble going to cwm after that. When I try to go to cwm, it goes to the green robot for a split second and jump back to logo screem in loop.
What happens when you put the battery back in? Does it flash stock without errors? Cwm should not be in the phone after flashing stock.

stuck in logo and when i try to wipe and factory reset liek u told me with holding vol up, power button, and home button, i go back to samsung logo loop
When booting to recovery, let the power button go as soon as the phone starts to boot but keep holding the home and volume up buttons.

Ok this is what happened when I did the whole process again precisely as you told me. After I flashed with odin with (T889UVUCOH4_T889TMBCOH4_HOME.tar.md5), my phone is still in the download mode screen but everything is done downloading already. I unpluged usb, battery, micro SD card. When I try to reboot in recovery (I did your let go of the power button the moment the logo poped up), I am unable to do that, except I get reboot non stop and sometime I can see the green robot with the percentage bar screen. Eventually after multiple logo reboot loop, it just stuck at the screen and not do a thing.
Pretty much nothing I can do when I unplugged the phone from the USB, but when I plugged back the phone to the USB i can go to recovery mode somehow and I get all the e fail to mount errors for everything like i posted previously.
Also tried to install cwm through odin, but after odin said it pass and restarted with or without taking out the battery, I cant even go to recovery mode anymore....
omg my phone does the same thing except I cant flash at all keeps saying complete (write) operation failed. someone did resovle this please pm me or reply....
only thing that manages to connect with my phone but never complete is cwm4_fixed_for_cm7-odin.tar
I see the blue bar its complete but nothing ever happens
Sounds like there is a hardware problem with the phone. There could be a few causes but the failure to mount partitions means the memory may be damaged.

it connects only to that? so what to do @audit13
I would look around to see if I could find a cheap note 2 with a smashed screen and working motherboard to switch the parts.
If you don't want to do that, maybe ask a cell shop for a repair estimate?
The phone is not worth too much so I would not spend a lot of money fixing it.
omg are you serious so thers nothing I can do? can I show you the pictures or something what is cwm4_fixed_for_cm-7-odin.tar? why is that only working ...im broke lol!!and a noob

Flashing Firmware Help

I'm not sure if anyone can help me-a long time ago I stupidly formatted my G6 edge using TWRP. Now that obviously wiped everything. Well I need a backup phone and I can't get odin to flash the firmware no matter what I try. I have even tried to flash some files individually either through odin or adb sideload-including the firmware-to no avail.
What Rom Ver.
I have stock 7.0 but i did a nand wipe before i put it on and my custom boot screen is still there (alienware) its bugging on diagmon random reboots and vol up, home key, power to bootloader brings up a android says updating but doesnt then goes to a fail android then to Android Recovery apply from SD card =E:failed to stat /dev/block/sdb1
E:failed to mount /sdcard (No such file or directory) --Couldn't mount /sdcard otherwise no other bugs i know of. I cant get my TWRP back it wiped it I try in ODIN but all hangs or fails with some weird asian letters after english
