FRIED eMMC CHIP?

I've not tried any of these actions myself as I haven't yet experienced this issue, I'd recommend that great care should be taken before following any of the advice given, I suggest that you at least read and attempt to understand first, if you don't understand then create a new post detailing your own issue and experiences so that others can assist you and point you in the right direction.

The errors below don't necessarily mean that you've a fried eMMC chip, so don't panic just yet. Many users have experienced the exact errors below and have gone on to simply resolve the issue and use their devices again normally.
