OKay, So i installed update for checkrom revo4 via Kitchen pro. Everything is working like charm. Now i wanted to change the kernel. Downloaded it, but when it boots to cwm to install is, it says error mounting sdcard 20s, and counting down. no good
Tried manually mount sdcard in cwm, gives error mounting sdcard,
So how to proceed
I didn't know where to put this but I had to put this somewhere since it helped me so much.
I was trying to back up my ROM in cwm but it said it couldn't mount /system. I tried everything. I tried to update busybox, reinstall su, format SD card, everything. Nothing worked. I was going to wipe everything clean, when I had one last idea.
I tried to flash a new kernel in CWM, and when I did it remounted the system partition for me and I could create and restore backups! So if nothing works and you have the /system problem, try installing a kernel.zip from your SD card.
I was recently doing a restore when I realized I restored the wrong backup file with aman recovery. When I booted back into recovery and tried restoring the proper backup file I get an error saying "E: Can't mount SDCARD: /nandroid/".
What should I do to fix this?

format your sd on your comp. if your phone still doesnt recognize try and partition it thru amon ra.. you might need to run an ruu
Okay before posting i have spent the majority of the day on this forum, the net and just generally searching for a solution. I installed the latest Omega V18 rom today with the latest Siyah-Dorimanx kernal. No issues, installed and worked fine recovered all my data. I was having a problem with Omega files kitchen, so i decided to wipe everything and try and start from fresh. I did a backup with CMW and Titanium, then i put the CMW backup ontop my laptop and wiped the phone and reinstalled everything, i was still getting the same problem and i went into Titanium and deleted all my backups, why i never know! But i still have the one on the laptop. Went for a final reinstall and obviously Titanium has no backup but my CWM backup is showing but i cant restore it in recovery mode or when the phone is on normally.
The phone works fine running Omega V18 Rom and Siyah-Dorimanx V7.43. No problem with booting or going into recovery mode, when i connect the phone to the usb on the laptop it comes up with removable disc E. My back up is on there and i can see it and open the folder and view the contents. However when i try to restore the backup either through CWM (V3.15) or booting into recovary mode the phone cannot find the back up.
I have tried all the restore options in recovery mode and i get E: Can't mount sdcard. So i'm stuck i have tried wiping all my data and doing factory reset etc and starting from the start, but still no joy. I have also tried to follow another guide on here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1238070 When i try to load the ED05 Froyo into Odin it fails.
Im desperate for a solution i just need my pictures back Anyhelp will be greatly appriciated, is there any thing i can do?
EDIT: I have just flashed it with Odin and a stock rom, now where do i go from here? Do i have to re-root the phone and install a custom rom again.
CWM and TB don't save your pictures! They are still there, on internal or on external SD Card, if you haven't deleted them by formating. Where did you save them?
I thought CWM did a full backup? Well atm the phone is running 4.0.4 ICS and when i go into stock recovery i still get the same cant mount sdcard!! Well i did format the whole phone and did factory reset so looks like i have lost them for good then? Now its back to standard why still cant it mount the sdcard?? I have placed the right Philz-cwm6 kernel onto the internal sdcard and go into stock boot and try to apply update and comes up E: unable to mount sdcard.

Do you have an extra sd card ? I am not joking I have realized last week that I didn't bother to buy one nearly 2 years ago :good: :laugh:
If you have saved your pictures on external sd card you can always take it out, put it into your sd slot in your notebook or pc and copy the files to your hard drive.

I have a small external card, but i didn't save the pictures to it or anything. I just assumed when i did my previous backups that it saved my files. Anyways i learnt that lesson the hard way it seems.
I connected the phone via usb and it came up E: Removable disc so i formatted it in windows, the put Philz kernel onto it and when into stock recovery and then tried to update via externel sd card and it fails to mount as usual. So why is E drive coming up in windows but not in the phone? Im really starting to loose my mind over this now, how do i fix this on a stock rom!
EDIT: I have flashed the Philz kernel via Odin, now i can get into CWMR Touch 6.0.1.4 I can go into the mounts and storage menu and mount /emmc but i still can't mount the /sdcard. I can now however apply an ZIP update from internal sdcard so now im getting too confused and lost i have been working for at least 10 hours on this in total so im going to bed and will try again tomorrow!!
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!!!
regards
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.
regards
