[Q] /data is corrupt - can't format - PLS HELP

---

Hi Community,

my big problem:

I can't format/wipe /data partition

If I try "format data" with CWM (Syah 3.1 rc6) or stock XWLP7 Kernel it freeze.
Also tryed flashing with Odin 1.83/1.85 - XXKI3/XXLPH (with Pit+Re-Partition) - same solution - freeze during write data.img

Format /system /cache /dalvik work!

What could I do?
PLS Help!

format via pc as mass storage both sd cards an flash via odin

It seems OP has the NAND_rw corruption, meaning Odin can't read/write the ROM on your device properly, hence the freeze.

Go to Phistacio's [GUIDE] How to fix an unflashable / soft-bricked SGSII. It's in the sticky of this section.

I have exactly the same problem. nandroid restore data.img failed, can't make_ext4fs on it either. it will get stuck

Anyone got a solution for this?

Not sure if I had the same problem like you, but I remember not being able to format the /data partition using mkfs a while ago.

What helped me to solve the problem was using "parted" instead, which is also able to format partitions with various filesystems. It should be part of the recovery. If not, you should find it for sure in this forum. Otherwise, just ask me and I'll send it to you.

Someone sent me a private message and asked for more details, but I seem unable to send a reply. At least my reply does not show up anywhere...

So if you are looking for the tool, go here:

(Disclaimer: That is not my own site, I just found here the same file which I originally downloaded here on XDA as far as I can remember...)

Extract it to your SD card and then try running either one of parted or sdparted. I cannot remember exactly which of them worked for me...

Good luck!

I just brought my I9100 back to life from being bricked due to this eMMC corruption bug

Hi guys,

I have the same issue, anything related to the partition /data is causing me troubles since I first tried to wipe it when I wanted to install CM9.1. (and I had stock ICS 4.0.4 at the time...)

Do you think it is the mmc bug ?

I can enter DL mode but when I try to flash stock rom, it just remains at the animated boot logo for hours...
Tried also to flash rom (with CODE, MODEM, CSC) and Odin stays stuck when starting DATA...

Any luck on your side ?
