S III I8200 E:failed to mount /data (Invalid argument)

[yazwas]

My S III Mini stopped working all of sudden.

Starting the device in recovery mode gives me those errors.

I've tried wiping /cache and /data partitions, but no luck
Tried using Odin to install a new flash, but it keeps failing on NAND write start

Tried adb to wipe data using this command
adb shell recovery --wipe_data, but again with error: closed.

Not sure what to do next. Any help is most appreciated.

Thanks all in advance.

All I can suggest is more or less what you've already tried. First, find a copy of TWRP 2.7.2.0 for the i8200. Boot the phone into download mode and try to flash TWRP using PDA in Odin. From there, you can try a custom or stock ROM image. If these don't work, your NAND might be fried... and if it is, the phone is done for, effectively. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but replacing NAND in this old thing is just not cost effective, even if you have the tools and can find a replacement.
