[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tanker32:
Seems like a EFS problem.

This guide is for all GT-N80XX tablets.

As I see few days ago, many people have same problem as you. It's seems that your NAND partition corrupted and have EFS problem.

Easiest way (My BOOT LOGO MODDER) which one rewrite partition block 03,04 by new PARAM.BIN file:

And user Kavin Zhao use my MODDER and if doesn't work made this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2682004

Everything is about EFS problem or corrupted NAND partition.

I hope your device will be fine! :good:

In my signature you can see my device configuration. So try solve problem and then write if you solved problem or not.

For other people which have (almost) same problem as you, they can try this trick: (easy way)

1. Go to download mode (Hold Power more than 30 sec. for sure it's your device is really OFF and then hold POWER + VOLUME DOWN),

USB cable must NOT be connected!!!

2. RUN Odin 3.07 - 3.09 (important) on your PC, your tablet will show you ...ehm... black screen

(or you will see Download Mode screen according to how much is your NAND broke into your device.

3. Connect your USB cable with your PC where is ODIN software running. You should hear sound from your PC as always,

when you connect some device to USB PC port... I suppose that you have USB drivers for Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 installed in your PC.

If no, go before step 1. download the drivers and then continue.

4. If everything will be O.K your ODIN software will be green (mean port)

5. You must have ORIGINAL STOCK ROM for your country!!! For example CSC for Czech republic is N8000XEZCMG1 and it's very important use the same CSC for your country or operator (otherwise IMEI lost, WiFi doesn't work).

Link is here:

http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/2/ On this webpage you will see so called CHECKER, just choose MODEL, PRODUCT CODE, here you can choose your country (and carrier/operator in some country only), then will be automatically filled PDA, CSC, MODEM and then finally click on CHECK FIRMWARE and voila, you'll see DOWNLOAD button.

After that, you can read instruction and there is possibility also to download newest ODIN SOFTWARE (3.09) and after download software and ROM continue to step 2. or you can download STOCK ROM from this site:

http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=GT-N8013 (As I see for GT-N8013 is only ONE firmware ?) Well, looks like it is!

6. In ODIN UNTICK REBOOT and F.RESET TIME and TICK (mean choose) NAND ERASE ALL.

IT'S VERY DANGEROUS because you reformat all your partition so I hope that you have some Backup file.

But I don't needed any backup and after click on PDA button and choosing the STOCK FIRMWARE and click on START button, my tablet was succesfully flashed.

7. If everything will work good = problem solved. If you will see strange WHITE STRIPES instead BOOT LOGO, get my BOOT LOGO MODDER, which one is in my signature and use it.

Harder way (assumed that you have GT-N8013 and EFS problem, no backup and so on):

(Thanks to tripijb)

1.- Install CWM recovery in your rooted tablet.

2.- Install ADB in your PC to be able to communicate with the tablet via com window. Install busybox as well.

3.- Google a nv_data.bin file till you find one. I found one.

4.- BOOT your Tablet in Recovery mode push both the power and the volume up button (the farthest to the power button). When the First letters appear, release the power button, not the volume up until entering in recovery mode.

5.- Go to your PC, connect the USB cable to your tablet and go to C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools>

6.- Type adb shell and hit return

7.- if you see # good, you have access to your tablet. Do not type su because does not work. You are root (I assume).

8.- type busybox df -h and check you do not have the efs mounted. In fact it does not even appear.

9.- Try to mount mmcblk0p3 (mount -w -t ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p3 /efs ) YES 0p3. I have found a lot of forums saying it is 0p1 but not in the Galaxy Note N8013 as you see in your post.

10.- Of course did not mount!!! That is the error. So we have to....

11.- Now try to make that partition, by typing mke2fs /dev/block/mmcblk0p3

12.- Now try to mount it again by typing mount -w -t ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p3 /efs It worked!!

13.- Now you have to keep the downloaded nv_data.bin file in the root of your sdcard, and a text file named factorymode with the letters ON inside.

14.- do busybox ls -ltr and you will see there is a folder called sdcard -> /data/media

15.- create a folder inside the /efs/ folder named FactoryApp

16.- Copy the factorymode from the root of your sdcard to the /efs/FactoryApp folder by typing: busybox cp /data/media/factorymode /efs/FactoryApp

17.- Copy the nv_data.bin from your sdcard to your efs folder by typing: busybox cp /data/media/nv_data.bin /efs

18.- Now change permissions to all those files inside efs with 0744 by typing: busybox chmod 0744 /efs/FactoryApp/factorymode Do it with all!!

19.- Now change owner of the directory efs down with: busybox chown 1001.1001 /efs

11.- in CWM go to advanced and fix permissions.

12.- Boot in recovery mode.

13.- Try to mount efs partition and it works!!! Check with ADB that all your files are there and a lot more.

14.- Reboot the Tablet and the efs is there for good.
