It all started today when I rooted my stock 2.2 and installed Voodoo.
After I installed Voodoo, my phone wouldn't boot. So I Odin'ed a stock ROM.
The Problem is, I have no internal/external storage on the phone at all!
I've tried flashing milliions of times, but no dice. Anyone know how to fix this?
EDIT:
There was a time where it showed my internal storage and I used the File manager to go in and erase the Voodoo folder and stuff. But still nothing. And everytime I check the "Re-partition" option in Odin, I get an says that Data wipe failed. I'm really stuck here guys!
EDIT2:
Now it says:
"update media, please wait
E:Can't mount /dev/block/stl10
(Invalid argument)
E:copy_dbate_media:Can't mount DBDATA:
your storage not prepared yet, please use UI menu for format and reboot actions"
If I selsect "format internal sd-card" I get the same error.
boot into recovery, clear cache, do a reset and then clear dalvik the reflash 2.1JFD make sure to check repartition box, after it is done then root and then flash a custom rom of your choice

If I'm not mistaken, CWM is the only one with that option. I don't have CWM installed.
AWESOME!
Seems to have worked... I got all my storage space back.
Only problem I have is, low application storage.

I started up my Gtab today (running ICS 4.0.x), and it keeps popping up stating "Encryption unsuccessful
Encryption was interrupted and can't complete. As a result the data on your tablet is no longer accessible.
To resume using your tablet, you must perform a factory reset. When you setup your tablet after the reset, you'll have an opportunity to restore any data that was backed up to your Google Account."
WTF?
I tried booting into recovery mode, but it hangs after stating "Recovery key detected, Booting recovery kernel image"
That's all it does....
Any suggestions on how to correct this?
Thanks ahead of time...

1. As the message says you'll most probably have to do a "wipe data/factory reset" in CWM. Run the command in this post.
2. Which version of CWM do you have?
Im not certain what version CWM is but it was the most up to date at the time. I cant access CWM as it sits now.
Should I try to use NVflash to rerun the Full_Stock_NVFlash_CWM_5504_Touch-1, just as I did before I installed ICS?...then reinstall the rom?
I can not access CWM...it locks up after stating "booting recovery kernel image"

The usual reason for that error message on ICS is a corrupted /data partition. To fix it you'll have to do either a "wipe data/factory reset" or a repartition the internal SD card in CWM.
GunRunner said:

The most common reason for that is
a) using the wrong version of CWM for the bootloader installed on the system--ie. using a recovery containing a 1.2 kernel on a 1.1 bootloader or vice-versa.
OR
b) a corrupted recovery partition.
To fix both on ICS--esp. if you've used the nvflash package in the TeamDRH ICS OP--try reloading only CWM-5.5.0.4Beta15 using nvflash.
Can you tell me what you were doing before all this happened? I can understand the /data partition becoming corrupt, or, the recovery kernel being the wrong one (or the partition being bad), but, I can't figure out how both can happen at the same time without something explicitly being done to cause it.
Not sure if it helps but I am also getting this error, I will update as I attempt to troubleshoot.
ROM: G_Harmony_ICSv1.5(120)(SuperCharged) (4.0.4)
CWM: 2.5.1.1-bekit-0.8
I got both errors but the second was solved by unplugging my computers USB cable from the g-tab.
(I can not access CWM...it locks up after stating "booting recovery kernel image") SOLVED
Steps:
1. From the settings picked factory reset loose all data and SD card data.
2. Reboot to recovery (CWM).
3. Formatted the internal SD card and ExSD card using CWM.
4. Mounted SD card on computer using USB cable connected to the G-Tab.
5. Let windows format the SD card. (Was this bad?)
6. Loaded ROM.zip file over to SD card from computer.
7. wipe data/factory reset.
8. wipe cache partition.
9. install zip from SD card -> coose zip from sdcard -> G_Harmony_ICSv1.5(120)(SuperCharged).zip
10. Install.
11. Reboot.
12. Error screen "Encryption unsuccessful Encryption was interrupted and can't complete. As a result the data on your tablet is no longer accessible...." "Press this button to do a factory reset"
13. Press the button to the same results.

UPDATE 1:
When I did a rewipe i found that when i did the data wipe is said:
-- Wiping data...
Formatting DATA...
E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk3p2
(No such file or directory)
Error mounting /data/!
Skipping format...
Formatting CACHE:...
Formatting SDEXT:...

Formatting SDCARD:/android_secure...

Click to collapse
Could it be that when I used my computer to format the SD card I did it wrong?
UPDATE 2:
I was browsing around the CWM options and I found:
advanced -> Partition SD Card
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
So I did that and then a data wipe again, and this time it said:
-- Wiping data...
Formatting DATA...
<<NOTE THE LACK OF ERRORS>>
Formatting CACHE:...
Formatting SDEXT:...
No app2sd partition found. Skipping format of /sd-ext.
Formatting SDCARD:/android_secure...
Data wipe complete.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I am hoping things should work now, I picked 2GB with a 0MB swap.
UPDATE 3:
Ok... should have figured that deleted my SD card files including my ROM "G_Harmony_ICSv1.5(120)(SuperCharged).zip" so I mounted it and copied it over again.
(I also did some mounting and unmounted and may have lost it there.)
UPDATE 4:
IT WORKS!! fixed, must have been because I formatted out the data partition, but CWM fixed this for me!
I hope this helps others with the same issue.
Ok, I have been searching for my exact issue for the greater part of today trying to solve my issue and I haven't come across anything so far.
I am on running gingerbread 2.3.4 with the UnOriginal 1.4.6 minimalist edition rom.
Basically, whenever I reboot my phone, it reverts back to its state on Sept. 27. For instance If I send a text, upload some music from my computer to the phone, and take a picture, all of that data will be missing when I reboot. All of the texts I sent, pictures I took, numbers I've added, etc. are gone. I can't put files on my phone anymore because as soon as I take it out of USB storage mode, the files are gone.
Things I have tried:
1. A factory reset / wipe data from the phone's settings menu and from CWM
2. formatting /system, /data, and /cache in the "mounts and storage" menu in CWM
3. formatting the phone from my computer
4. flashing a stock rom and PIT file from Odin
5. flashing a rom from CWM
No matter what I do, it always boots up the same as always with the same boot animation, the same text convos, same address book, pictures, etc.
I can't mount anything in CWM's "mount and storage" menu. It just gives an error: "unable to write to ums lunfile"
Does anybody have any ideas? I'm completely stumped at this point.

Thanks for the quick reply. should I format /emmc? I formatted system, data, and cache and when I rebooted, it still booted up to it's sept. 27th state. Should I format system, data, cache, and emmc and then try to get into download mode for odin? Could it be a faulty internal SD?

Mount storage to your pc and delete everything (make a backup if you want). And just put one rom in there and see if the problem persists after flash

I mounted the phone to my computer via the in phone prompt instead of CWM and deleted everything off of the internal sd card. As soon as I disconnected the phone from usb storage mode, I used the file browser on the phone and all of the files were still there. Wiping and formatting everything and flashing a new rom in CWM yielded no results as well.
This is really strange behavior to me. Any other suggestions?
You're Making this waaaaaaay to complicated. Just flash another rom. Unless you used rom manager to get into recovery. In which case you didn't read enough. But if not yeah just flash a rom.

Alright so when I go into "mounts and storage" in CWM, I can mount/unmount everything except /sdcard and USB storage.
When I try to mount /sdcard it just says: "Error mounting /sdcard"
When I try to mount USB storage, it says: "E:Unable to write to ums lunfile (No such file or directory)"
What's up with that?

When it says mount USB storage it means external sd card. How do you have your sd card currently formatted? (fat32)?

Ok, well that explains why I can't mount USB storage as I don't have an external sd card, only the internal one.
I tried to reformat the internal sd card from my computer to fat32 (it was already fat32), but it didn't actually wipe anything. I'l try unchecking "quick format".
I tried wiping and flashing a few more roms, but still nothing changes.
Thanks for all the help so far guys, but I still can't figure out what's going on and why I can't seem to modify data on the sdcard long-term.
Galaxy y Duos bricked phone!
My Galaxy y duos is bricked! It stays on Galaxy Logo, I have already tried to flash stock rom and kernel with odin, but it says "Status 7 Can´t mount system Intallation aborted (invalid argument)" so i flashed the kernel and now says " Status 0 intallation aborted (invalid argument)!! I can´t wipe data/factory or cache too when i do that it says "failed to wipe on......."
It started when i tried to intall a custom rom, them i tried to flash with Odin, but i got the wrong files! after that it got White screen, i flashed with odin again (with t:crying::crying:he correct files) then it stays on galaxy Y LOGO!!
I dont Know what to do anymore! Please HELP!! :crying:

U posted in the wrong q & a.
This forum is for the sgh-i777.
this problem has been solved? or not yet? cause this my problem too. Cant wipe data. The rom and data are still there.
Why did you necro a 2 year old thread? It would be better to post a new thread stating your issues and information.
I do not remember this issue ever being solved. This may be the only person that has posted with an issue like this, as far as I can remember, until you posted.
What are your symptoms exactly; What firmware is on the phone; What can you do with the phone; What have you tried? Give as much information about your phone as you can think of.
For instance, have you tried flashing the full stock distribution with Odin?
How do you perform this step? mounting the device on your pc. I've tried to do this via terminal on the device itself but it can't get to mount the partitions i need to wipe.
Not sure if this has been answered, but I have been searching and cannot find an answer.
I'm S-Off with Dirty Racun, have been flashing Roms for the past year, no problems, backing up and restoring Roms with no problem. Recently was using the latest Hatka LTE but wanted to restore to an earlier version. Didn't work. Did a super wipe and tried to install clean. Didn't work.
Have been messing with this all day and am stuck. At first it was saying that it could not mount the /sdcard. I thought maybe the internal sdcard was corrupt, so I formatted the internal sdcard. Didn't help.
Anyways, yes, I can get into bootloader and I can get into TWRP.
Yes, I have tried other versions of TWRP. All my backups were created under 2.4.1, have tried 2.4.4 and 2.5 to restore, no success.
In TWRP 2.4.1:
It will say:
Restoring 4 partitions...
Wiping System...
Formatting System using mke2fs...
Done.
Restoring system...
E:Unable to extract tar archive '/sdcard2/TWRP/BACKUPS/HT2324......
Wiping Cache..
Formatting Cache using mke2fs...
Done.
Restoring cache...
[cache done]
Restoring boot...
[boot done]
Updating partition details....
E:Unable to unmount '/system'
Also, not sure if this is related, but when I do Factory Reset under the Wipe section, it will only show that it is formatting cache, formatting data, and wiping .android_secure. It used to say formatting system, but now doesn't mention it?
Also, immediately after it says unable to mount /system, if I try to wipe system, it will give me a fail, unable to unmount /system
Basically, I'm stuck at TWRP and bootloader.
Also, when I try to install a ROM, any ROM, it will die - for example MeanBean 3.09, it will say:
Formatting and Mounting Partition...
Clearing cache and dalvik...
Installing /system....
Installing /data...
symlink: some symlinks failed
E: Error in /sdcard2/MeanBean-v309-jewel-ltevo.zip (Status 7)
Please help! What can I do to restore it back to the way it was so that I can at least get a working ROM on my phone?
Thanks!
Also, if it will help, I am HBoot 1.19.22222
Radio 1.12.11.1210
OpenDSP-v31.1.0.45.0815
Thanks for any help in advance!! Really need this phone to boot into something working.

sorry for the replies to myself, but as an update, now even after rebooting into recovery, I can't even wipe - the first thing that happens after I reboot into recovery is I see
E: Unable to mount '/sdcard'
E:Unable to recreate android secure folder.
E:Unable to mount '/sdcard', which repeats itself a couple of times
then Running boot script...
Finished running boot script...
This happens before I press a single button in recovery (TWRP 2.4.1), I mean it happens immediately as it is booting into recovery

I had the same issue and ended up using three different versions of TWRP, but if you go to the TWRP thread, captain just posted his version of recovery that he built from source and he fixed some of the issues with the android secure and changed some of the wipes, check it out and reformat using rm rf, works better for me it's in the advanced options...

Hello All,
I recently came across a rather annoying error on my Galaxy Ace (GT-S5830i), after using it the phone decided to turn itself off without any warning and restarted in recovery mode without any interaction from me. I then told the phone to restart as I had no reason to be in the recovery mode, however it then began "Boot-Looping" and would not turn on, Recovery Mode and Download Mode still function as normal. After an hour of it stuck boot-looping I decided to flash a new ROM (JellyBlast V3.0.3) this completed sucessfully according to Clockworkmod, I then rebooted and it still continued to Boot-Loop. So i then rebooted and selected Wipe Data/reset. The Log showed the error I was waiting for it read as follows.
-- Wiping Data...
Formatting /data
Error mounting /data!
Skipping Format
Formatting /cache..
Formatting /sd-ext..
Formatting /sdcard/.android-secure..
Data Wipe Complete
After Seeing that it was failing to mount the data Partition I went to the Mounts and Storage Option and tried mounting the data partition there "Mount Failed"
Does anybody know why it can't mount that specific partition or how to erase the NAND and manually Re-Partition it? I've tried ODIN to no luck.
Using Linux Ubuntu 12.04LTS

Have you use .pit file and tick repartition? If yes than you may have a hardware problem.

The problem isn't with flashing ROMs, its the internal partitions that are corrupt.

I've used the .pit and Selected Repartition, I've read on another page somewhere that you can use adb shell and then use FDISK to repair the partition as I suspect that an application I installed caused the error, howeve I keep getting "Permission Denied" despite being rooted?
U could use Droid explorer. Not sure it has the format command though... But has plenty commands may get u to have root access from adb shell may be...

Hello guys,
I have a very strange problem that noone else has because i cant find anything about it on the net.
I have a Galaxy s3 with cyanogenmod 10.2 and boeffla 2.1 stabe using twrp as recovery. I´ve set up my system and made a backup of everything. then i´ve wanted to check if the restore is working so i restored my backup. after a reboot my entyre phone was set to factory state. happened 2 times . cyanogenmod was still installed but i had to configure the entire system again. after downloading all apps i decided to install cwm instead of twrp using cwm 6.0.4.5 touch for i9300 flashing via odin 1.85. everything worked fine and i booted into recovery to make a backup. cwm then says: Error cant mount /system so i tried to mount the system via the storage option. still says cant mount /system. then i rebooted my phone and again everything was gone... im really angry because whats the point of using a backup and then everything is gonna be erased.
i hope someone can help me with this. i also would erase everything and start from zero so that everything works.
Edit:
manual factory reset shows this:
formatting data
Error mounting /data.
Error mounting /sdcard/ . android_secure!
Skipping Format
formatting cache is working
cant format sd card.
&
Cant download apps from google play because of server problems...
show log:
mount: mounting /dev/block/mmcb1k0p16 on/data failed: no such file or directory
W: failed to mount /dev/blockmmcb1k0p16 (file exist)
cant wipe dalvik cache
!!!phone gets resetted everytime after cwm says error cant mount /system!!!

Can be closed
I´ve installed original Samsung firmware and then CWM + CM10.2 + Boeffla 2.1 again and now CWM can mount everything and the Backup also works. maybe Twrp ****ed something up. i dont know.
