Flashing ROM is failed - Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help &

Hi,
I have Samsung Galaxy S3 I9305 LTE phone made in Vietnam. Initially I got the Samsung Logo stuck issue. In the stock recovery mode i got the following error.
"E:failed to mount /efs (Invalid argument)".
I tried to wipe cache partition and checked. but no luck.
Then I rooted the phone using the following file:
CF-Auto-Root-m3-m3zh-gti9305.tar.zip
Then i installed the CWM recovery using the following file:
CWM_touch_6.0.4.7_i9305.tar
Then I went to CWM recovery and did the following things:
back up to /SD card
wipe data/factory reset
format /system
format /data
wipe dalvik cache
then First I tried to flash the 2 ROMs(I9305XXUFNL1_I9305H3GFNL1_I9305XXUFOA1_HOME.tar.md5 and I9305XXUFNL1_I9305ORLFOB1_I9305XXUFOA1_HOME.tar.md5) . Both are installed. but logo issue was still there. Then I found the ROM(I9305XXUENH1_I9305FTMENJ1_I9305XXUENG1_HOME.tar.md5) using KIES using model no and serial no.
I flashed that ROM using ODIN and ROM installation is failed. Following is the ODIN Log.

Trying to flash back to stock. Bricked.

I have the WOOT sprint G tab.
I am trying to flash back to stock EA24. however i think i bricked my phone.
now i am getting a "phone triangle computer" picture on the phone and it wont do anything.. from there i have been trying to flash with odin
i installed that sprint drivers, opened odin, select the 512 pit file, select the correct binary under the "pda" option, select re-partition. but every time it gets only to this stage and fails, it also failed like this when i was in download mode.

when it gets to this part there is part of a a small progress bar on my screen.
i then have to shut the phone off and turn it back on for odin to work at all.
kinda scared i screwed my self here.
Turn off the phone by disconnecting the USB cable, holding the power button down until the screen goes off.
Open Odin and select the tar file in the PDA slot only.(You should have remove the MD5 extension already). Do not select re partition, leave everything as it is.
Connect the USB and the device should turn on to the same PC connection to phone error screen. Wait till Odin detects the com Port and flash. Repeat until successful.
I have done this 10 times now exactly like you said, and i still get the same error.
odin 1.7 or 1.3 only selected the file SPH-P100.EA24.SECURE.REV07-FULL_CL871413.tar
everytime it shows part of a blue progress bar and odin says

I can get into recovery by using heimdall and a zimage
but from there i get a
checking /system..
E:failed to mount /system (invalid argument)
/system may be rfs. Checking...
checking /data...
checking /datadata...
E:failed to mount /datadata (invalid argument)
/datadata may be rfs. checking...
checking /cache
done!
and then e: Can't mount /sdcard
when i try to choose zip from sdcard.
Phone - triangle - computer is another download. You get that screen when you have a bad flash. Redownload your files - sometimes there is a corrupted file, causing success, but the tab won't boot, so you get the phone - triangle - computer.
I see from your computer output you are missing the dbdata.rfs file. That would explain the blank line.

[Q] [HELP] Samsung Galaxy S Anycall M110S Nandroid Backup/ Soft Brick

Good Day Folks.
So yesterday I was flashing my Samsung Galaxy S M110S (Korean Version)
with a stock rom
(M110S-Gingerbread-HOME-IMAGE-REV03-VG26-1812-USER.tar) and installing
Tegrak Kernel V29.
Everything works smoothly until I flashed a ClockworkMOD Recovery not
intended for my phone(sorry I was foolish and flash a CWM meant for
other device) then when I open my device I am always brought to this
(Samsung Stock Recovery)
Samsung utils blah. blah.
# MANUAL MODE #
E:failed to mount /cache (Invalid Argument)
E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/recovery_kernel_log
E:copy kernel file :: Can't open /cache/recovery/recovery_kernel_log
E:failed to mount /cache (Invalid Argument)
E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/log
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/log
blah.blah

Click to collapse
I am only allowed to navigate with 3 options; Reboot, Wipe Data, Wipe
Partition. Rebooting only brings me to the recovery, both wipes
provides the same error.
So I try to flash again with the same stock rom and ODIN keeps on
throwing me this:

Left with no idea, I flashed an iCarus SpeedMod kernel(via ODIN) to see
what will happen. Luckily the recovery is now CWM and I was entitled
with so many options. One of this is the Backup/Restore option so I
think that if I have the right backup files stated below, I can put it
into the internal SD card(I have access) and launch the Restore
option to bring my phone back to life.
cache.img
data.img
dbdata.img
nandroid.md5
and all the other files you get when backup-ing files using CWM.
I am asking for your full help. Please be noted that my device:
Can access Download Mode
Can access Recovery Mode(no function)
Can be recognized by ODIN and be flashed.
...and is in need for a very big help!
So for those of you who has a nandroid backup(if my terms are correct)
of a Samsung Galaxy S M110S or has an idea to resurrect my device I
will be very thankful.
And If I can add I can also select Apply Update Via ZIP. Does that mean
I can also apply zip updates? If yes, where can I find those?
please help me with this one.

tnx for the reply

He meant you should flash GB using Odin, not upgrade via Kies.
Follow my signature, download Overcome's PDF guide, and GB-Stock-Safe-v5 (it has all the tools you need in it).
Open the guide, jump to page 7, put tab to download mode, and flash according to that guide.
so no need to kies. cuz when it happen i tried other tut required kies i couldn't pass the first stage in oden then it bricked
i'll try it hope it will work tnx guys
sorry guys same result
it failed in the end of first stage
i got this message in odin

Softbricked my old Galay GT P1000 - can anyone help.

Heyas. I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction. I'm trying to refresh an old Galaxy Tab (GT-P1000) for my son. Not the first time I've done this but the first time I've hit a deadlock.
I've reviewed the [Guide]How to unbrick your galaxy tab. Not helping unfortunately.
Background:
I've installed TWRP (CF-Root-TAB7_XX_OXA_JQ1-v3.3-CWM3RFS.tar) on the device using ODIN. Installed OK. Booted into the OS fine afterwards.
I copied the firmware (cm-13.0-20160519-UNOFFICIAL-p1.zip) and GAPPS from the microsd card to the /download folder as I've had issues seeing the card from the recovery app.
Booted into recovery - did a system, data and dalvik cache wipe. Installed the CM13 image and rebooted. The message I got was:
failed to mount '/system' (invalid argument)
failed to mount '/data' (no such device)
In an attempt to fix the mount issues I reflashed including a PIT. Now nothing is mounting - I'm guessing I've blown away the partitions.
I can get to the Clockwork recovery application but I can't flash from the SD card as it needs a file system to mount to I'm guessing.
Can anyone point me in the right direction to begin troubleshooting this?
If I try to reflash using ODIN, a PIT file and GB_Stock_Safe_v5.tar
ODIN zips through till it gets to:
<ID:0/004> factoryfs.rfs
At which point it seems to hang up.
eventually ODIN times out with a Fail message. If I reboot I get the soft brick logo of the mobile and PC with the yellow triangle. From this point I can reflash Clockwork Recovery Mod (CF-Root-TAB7_XX_OXA_JQ1-v3.3-CWM3RFS.tar) and get to the download screen again if need be.
I just don't seem to be able to get a working OS up.
