Boot freeze and partitions lost - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
my german N7100 one sad day rebooted just to the Samsung logo and froze.
After some research i found Heimdall and jOdin and managed to flash TWRP 3.3.1-0 as recovery.
Booted into that, looked around and found on tapping the menu icon:
Code:
Failed to mount '/cache' (Invalid argument)
E:primary block device '/dev/block/mmcblk0p16' for mount point /data is not present!
Failed to mount '/data' (Invalid argument)
Unable to recreate /data/media folder.
Updating partition details...
Failed to mount '/efs' (Invalid argument)
Failed to mount '/cache' (Invalid argument)
Failed to mount '/system' (Invalid argument)
Failed to mount '/data' (Invalid argument)
...done
Unable to mount storage
Failed to mount '/data' (Invalid argument)
Full SELinux support is present
E:
Unable to mount /data/media/TWRP/.twrps
MTP Enabled
ADB was and is enabled.
Flashing a stock ROM with jOdin first complained about a missing PIT file, then proceeded getting one from the phone, then did the flashing and reported PASS.
Didn't change a thing, though, the phone still didn't boot further, and TWRP reported the same as before.
adb shell
works and i looked around in the phone; i found
/dev/block/mmcblk0
and
/dev/block/mmcblk0p1,
both readable by less, but no other mmcblk* were there.
The phone has a MicroSD card inserted, which isn't listed in /dev or /dev/block, although TWRP can write the system logs "successfully" to it.
Right now, i can't check the contents without a MicroSD adapter.
I looked around here and found nothing quite similar, therefore this new thread.
Help, please?

best regards,

maybe emmc dead or what?

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...

ok i have now got my phone working again with a few hours tinkering thru heimdall. but now i have no imei number its just blank... any ideas? i have tried every rooting method ive managed to find on here so far none work so i can't edit the stuff in the efs partioion anyway. any other ideas???
melli.
now i have the phone working but have a blank imei and cant find any way to restore it.
when i go into recovery mode i still get:
E:failed to mount /efs (invalid argument)
E:failed to mount /efs (invalid argument)
E:check_selective_file:can't mount /efs
-- Copying media files...
Succewwfully copied media files.
-- Appling Multi-CSC...
E:failed to mount /efs (invalid argument)
E:multi_csc:Can't mount /efs

so it seems i still have an invalid efs partition. any idea how i can fix this? ive tried loads of rooting methods and none work... so i cant even copy from another efs partition on another phone.

TWRP: "E:failed to mount /sdcard (Invalid argument)"

I formatted my Kindle Fire using my Mac computer as a Mac OS Extended (Journaled) drive. Unfortunately, when I tried installing a ROM on my Kindle, it did not succeed. So, I wiped the cache, Dalvik cache, and system (oops), and performed a factory reset. However, when I attempted to wipe the external storage, it Failed. The error message stated:
Code:
E:failed to mount /sdcard (Invalid Argument)
E:tw_format_rmfr: failed to mount "/sdcard"
* Verifying filesystems...
* Verifying partition sizes...
E:Unable to mount '/sdcard' (tw_mount)
E:Unable to mount '/sdcard' (tw_mount)
E:failed to mount /sdcard (Invalid Argument)
E:failed to mount /sdcard (Invalid Argument)
E:failed to mount /sdcard (Invalid Argument)
Additionally, the Kindle Fire has no OS installed (since I wiped to system), and the ADB shell does not recognize my device. Any ideas on what to do? Thanks to anyone who responds!

Stuck at TWRP. Unable to flash anything. Please help :(

Hi everyone. Please help me out. I was trying to root my Xperia M C1904, so first I installed TWRP v3.0.2.0 and then I decided to flash my custom ROM as well.Unfortunately I couldn't do anything now. My phone keeps on rebooting to this recovery everytime I try to boot my phone. I somehow copied ROMs and .img files just to make sure that something,s wrong with this thing. I even download my stock firmware as well. But I can't do anything now. Neither I can boot to system, nor in fastboot as well.
And yeah, when trying to flash, I get these many errors. I thoroughly checked everything on Internet and thought that maybe flashing to stock ROM might help, but this thing won't even flash anything and just keeps on booting to recovery.
PLEASE! PLEASE Help me!
PS: Here is the error below showing in my phone.

I have a similar problem.. I had the AOSP 7.1.1. BETA 5 ROM but I decided to transfer to Ressurection Remix, I installed it, but it showed me the Unable to mount /cache (invalid argument) error and now it doesn't boot even if I restore my backup with the old ROM. I tried connecting the phone to the Flashtool, but the drivers seem mashed up and I can't even flash my stock software. I wasted my whole day and now I'm clueless... I hope that the phone isn't bricked, broken and somehow I could fix it.
Hello folks.. I had same issue when I flashed aosp based rom from lineage ROM and vice versa. I resolved this issue by following steps..
1) Download Androxyde flashtool which will you get in Google search. This flashtool made only for Sony devices and has build in device drivers which could be install manually. For practical watch on YouTube.
2) Download fotakernel.img from https://www.google.co.in/amp/s/foru...cwm-twrp-recoveries-custom-roms-t3016507/amp/ and follow steps that has given.
3)After flashing you will get twrp in which mount option will have cache, system, data etc partitions. Check it to see wheather that particular partition mount.
4) Flash rom and check for further errors.. mostly I used all ROM available for our device which played this trick work..
