e:failed to mount / efc (no such file or directory) & "e: failed to mount system" etc etc

Hi ...Samsung galaxy note 2 is not responding, when I hard Boot using Power+Volume (high)+Home button i find above mentioned errors "e:failed to mount / efc (no such file or directory) & "e: failed to mount system"

I tried wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache portion, apply update from cache... nothing worked to me.. please help ... Thank you so much in advance..

Also, Please let me if we can just change the OS does this work and if so how to do that ?

Assuming you haven't been doing non-standard things (like installing non-standard kernels), that would seem to point to a failed portion of storage. That's a hardware problem, and the "fix" is to replace the motherboard, which probably wouldn't pay in a Note S2 (decent used Note 2s are cheaper than having a shop put in a new motherboard - and you won't get your old data back either way).

Since the storage (think hard drive in a computer) is defective, you can't install any OS.

Welcome to Android Central!

Give the guide below a try and see if it works. If it does not then it might be hardware related and you might need to get it repaired.
