Help Samsung 3 has just stopped working

Ironass & funkylogik

As you have rightly mentioned the phone is displaying the message on the below link, message states "failed to mount /EFS (invalid argument)"

http://cdn.droidviews.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/failed-to-mount-efs.jpg

Reading some of the issues concerning EFS problems include

Loss of IMEI
Wireless connection issues
Network connectivity

All of which I'm experiencing problems with..........

I will try to re flash the firmware mentioned above by Ironass as I don't have a nandroid or EFS back up.......(schoolboy error)

If the re flashing doesn't work (fingers crossed it does) is there anything else you could suggest or is the phone rendered useless???????

As ever a big thank you to you all

Regards
