I am XXKI8, and I tried to flash some of the custom roms my phone is getting stuck on Boot logo. And when I go in recovery it says E:\ cant mount system/cache and some other things.
I cant restore backup too...I have to odin it back. this happened with Batista, Touch X power and on Wanamlite.
But when I flashed rarity it worked fine. any Idea why this error is coming up.

Try to do a factory reset before flashing a Custom ROM.
And maybe you need to do a hard reset (*2767*3855#) after flashing?!
As this will wipe your internal SD card, be sure to backup everything you need before.
Good luck !
I am always doing Factory reset, Wipe Partition and after flash Wipe dalvik. But this is happening. Also, if my fon is not booting up so how I can Hard reset with those code after flashing.
I was on vibrant and I am very much familiar with this flashing things. Just its not happening this time.
This problem is not going away. Today I tried to flash Villain rom. But still I cant boot back. I noticed when flashing, my progress bar runs for 1/4th and after that it says installation complete. and when I reboot it cant boot beyond boot logo. And when I go back in recovery it says cant mount E:\system\cache and etc.
Please help. I have odin back to stock and re-rooted so many times that my custom binary count is 9.
I never faced this problem with VIBRANT.

I had similar issue with as you, i'll post my fix ( or atleast how i think i fixed it) ====>
Phew! NOW I HAVE CM7 RUNNING ON MY PHONE!!
I'm gonna try to explain how i fixed my issue, as clear and explanatory as i can..
lucky i didn't brick my phone during all this, because I tried so many things and none worked.I unsuccessfully tried downgrading to XWkI4, ZCKI4, and alot others via Odin... after flashing all i get is tons of error messages(on 3e recorvery) E: can't open/cache or E:failed blah bla bla to load /efs... i thought OMG! my phone is bricked! then i recalled reading somewhere that flashing the 3 tar (PDA,MODEM,CSC) files usually should work(maybe better than flashing a 1 tar file), so i found a 3 files xxKI3 rom, flashed it and BAM! it booted up this time without any error. so now i went ahead and rooted it since the tar files came unrooted, then went into CWM to flash cm7 ROM, flashed it twice and ofc i got stuck on boot logo.....i didn't panic much, i pulled out the battery, and restarted to CWM where i cleared cache/ dalvik/ and did wipe/factory reset, then i reflashed CM7 again (twice) and it worked!!!! YES, CM7 is fiannly working on my SG2!

When I tried to do the same I cant do it as it says E: cant mount Cache/System etc..
Than I had to go back to Stock. Flashing stock via odin is not problem at all. Even XXKI8 non wipe version also am able to flash & boot up without any issue. Only am not able to flash custom rom through CWM. I think its not getting flashed properly.

Yes. I said before also, odined back to stock is no problem at all. I flashed KI3 (which has all three files) + KI8 which is a single file, with no issue.
Whenever I am trying to flash a custom rom I am getting stucked on boot screen. Than I have to ODIN back to STOCK.
Hope this clears your doubts.
Just to make sure. What recovery version do you have? CWM from e.g CF-Root. Or Clockwork mod from Rom Manager.
Be aware of the difference.

hmm.... Try downgrading to XWKI4,root again and flash a custom kernel like ninpho or speedmod, this would most likely solve it..

Also, I noticed when I boot into CWM Recovery and go to Wipe Dalvik Cache I get a mesage E:unknown volume for path [/sd-ext] (this is before performing actual wipe) but when I wipe dalvik catch it says Dalvik Catch wiped.
One more thing I like to share - first I flashed STOCK KI3 then I noticed it says cant find E:/System/(some folder for CSC which I dont remember exactly) and it says could not install the CSC. Than I upgraded to KI8 same error for CSC came.
now again I tried to flash siyah kernel 2.0 through CWM, still same problem I am stuck on boot logo.
When I go back to recovery it takes a lot more time than usual and following errors I get
E: cant mount /cache/recovery/command
E: cant mount /cache/recovery/log
E: cant open /cache/recovery/log
E: cant mount /cache/recovery/last_log
E: cant open/cache/recovery/last_log
and when I tried to wipe data/factory reset it says
E: cant mount /sdcard/
Even I tried mounting SD card in recovery but its says error mounting sd card.
Please please help.....I never faced this problem with my VIBRANT.
try xxki3 again， but this time make sure you use a 3 tar method i.e PDA， MODEM， CSC... dont use a 1 tar pacjage or you will get stuck at boot agian.
Well of course you never had the problem with your vibrant, you weren't flashing the same packages.
Try flashing Litening or some other complete firmware that has an Odin flashable package, then use that as a base.
Hopefully you haven't selected the "repartition" option in Odin at any stage and mucked up the tables.

I followed the guide in the '[READ THIS]' thread and flashed a stock rom (i already tried about 10 different roms), but i still get a boot loop.
As i can enter the recovery and download mode without a problem and there never seems to be an error message after flashing i don't think that there is something wrong with the hardware.
Does anyone have an idea what i could do?
Also i somewhere read that you can fix pretty much any problem by using a riffbox.
Does any of you guys have any experience with that thing/ know if that could probably fix my problem?

Not necessarily.
Similar thing happened to me with KI8.
Was all good on KG1.
Flashed intratechs KI8 all good.
Flashed cfroot for KI8 had to factory reset to get root to work.
All was good at this point.
Flashed siyah 1.8 kernel all good.
CWM backuped.
CWM flashed % battery mod and stuck on Samsung logo at boot.
CWM restore still stuck at Samsung logo at boot.
Tried lots of things to fix but no go.
CWM restore of KG1 and all good again.
Still trying to work out what went wrong and will post the fix when/if I find out.

I have this problem too. For some reason, the only rom I can flash is Cognition 1.6 . The rest seem to just get stuck at the Galaxy S2 logo
Hi there,
I've got a huge problem.
After having tried the official Samsung ROM (2.3.5, I9100XXKI3), I rooted my phone using CF-ROOT 4.2. That works perfectly.
Then, I've downloaded a custom ROM.
I've put the .zip file at the root of my phone.
Then, I have rebooted in recovery mode.
I've done a data/cache/dalvik wipe.
I've done a "install zip from card", using the zip file of the rom.
The script says everything is allright... but after restart my phone stays blocked at the same point : the Samsung Galaxy SII logo with the yellow triangle.
Nothing more.
I've tried 4 different custom roms and it does the same with all (Cyanogenmod, MIUI, Litening, Revolution).
With the Cyanogenmod, it's a bit different : i have the same issue but it also seems to loop reboot...
The only ROM that works is the official Smasung ROM that I install using Odin.
Any idea of what I can do to fix this ?
Any idea of what I'm doing bad ?
Many thanks
PS : I would love to install a MIUI.
PS : I've justed tried again to install MIUI, and now, after rebooting after the installation from CWM, the phone goes to Recoverymode by itself and says :
E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/command
E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/log
E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/log
E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/last_log
E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/last_log
Try Cyanogen. I've heard a few things about installing from zip twice. After it's finished the first time, install from zip again. No guarantees off course.
You could try flashing an earlier official Rom first then cfroot then Custom Rom.
Read somewhere that you need to factory reset if you're downgrading which is possible since you're going from 2.3.5.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
you may flash the rom twice. or u can downgrade to official 2.3.4 (KH3) via Odin and then flash other custom rom u like
First of all, many thanks yo you all.
@meranto : Already tried and the only thing it does is a boot loop.
@aceofclubs : Good idea. That's what I'm trying right now.
@Henrywcy81 : flash twice : see above. Downgrade : again, good idea
Any advice on which Kernel I should use ? Could it be a kernel problem ?
Many thanks guys.
Wow I've just tried to downgrade and WOW.
Never had so much error messages.
I loose root but everything crashes just after the first Samsung Galaxy SII logo.
I have a lot of error messages saying that the phone can't mount partitions.
Sounds bad :S
Did you flash the downgrade with Odin?

i have same problem i cant flash custom rom only stock (KI3), always got boot loop, than i can only flash ki3 with repartition (pit file)..
have you installed at the end custom rom, and how (downgrade rom)?
After flashing with pit file flash xwki8 one file. Then cf-root 4.3 ki8.
Boot into recovery and flash whatever you want.

P.S. after fashing xwki8, basbend was KI3 and build number was KI3, only karnel was changed (xwki8)..
Hi, I have tried to method posted and nothing, I guess It has to do something with the pit file, I guess is messing and changing the way the phone is partitioned, and CWM Recovery cant find and mount the partitions.
The question is why some people manage to install custom roms? and other no?
I'm going to do it again, restore to stock KI3 with pit file (re-partitioning), modem and CSC and see if I can manage to install DarkyROM2_KI3_Base.
At this point I'm rooting my phone with cf-root 4.2.
Nope, it din't work!!!!! Any Suggestions?????

Hi,
So i wanted to upgrade my ICS Rooted to JB by flashing this ROM.
It said on CWM success! and i rebooted my phone. Then it only kept itself on boot screen (Written: Samsung Galaxy S2 GT-i9100 and the Warning triangle at the bottom) it never went forward. Then i open CWM and it says [E: Can't open /cache/recovery/last_log].
What do i do now?
Before i had Siyah 5.0.1 with S3Mods ROM .
I have even tried to Restore back to when i had S3Mods Rom but then it says md5 mismatch (or something like that, can't remeber)
As said: what can i do now to fix this?
And what could've cause this?
Thank you for any help!
PS. Also the CWM Layout seems to have changed, i had with my Siyah 6.2.0.1 (don't remeber exact either) now it says PhilZ Touch 3

Try to boot into recovery and wipe data/do a factory reset.
If that does not help, try to flash the ROM again.
If that does not help, restore your nandroid backup of your previous (ICS) ROM.
Good luck !

hello, my phone is in a bootloop at the samsung start screen, the problem didn't started because of an un proper flash of a rom, I just found my phone in kernel panic mode, tried to enter recovery to do a full wipe, nothing, recovery was unavailable, I had cm 10.1 and dorimax kernel, after that I found a thread that explained what to do in case of soft/hard brick, I did all the steeps, (I can only enter download mode), I have flashed the ics, gb roms in odin with success, no nand rw problem, my phone is still in a boot loop, this happened two weeks ago, today I tried booting the phone, a wierd instaler started (something about cryptic, can't remember exactly) but the instalation stopped it restarted, and the samsung boot loop started, dose any one have any ideeas what else can I try? thx
can any one tell me if the stock roms I'm flashing trough odin do a full wipe? thx
Always do a full wipe, no matter what you do.
Flash a more newer stock firmware, aka a jelly bean firmware..
Have you encrypted your phone before you swap Roms? and not decrypt it before flash?
I have flashed XWLSW trough odin, but still nothing, I didn't encrypt my phone, and I can't do a full wipe, or at least I don't know how to do it trough odin (I can only enter download mode). Thx for the answers, any other suggestions?

Can you not enter recovery? Even after flash and stuck in boot loop? Flash stock and try to get into recovery when this boot loop happends. And yes when you flash through odin the phone is wiped:thumbup:
I solved a similar problem by:
flashing a custom recovery through odin
booting into recovery mode
doing a "wipe data/factory reset"
doing a "wipe cache"
doing a "format /system"
doing a "format /preload"
flashing a current custom ROM

2.) Flashing a safe kernel and then restoring the backup won't help either I presume?

Hi everyone
first of all, this is my first post so if i posted in the wrong section i am sorry
now here's my problem:
i have a Galaxy S2 (GT-I9100) with rooted stock ICS 4.0.4. I wanted to restore a backup which I created using the Nandroid Backup app on the same day. So i went into recovery mode, flashed a temporary CWM (from this thread http://http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2327472) then restored the backup from my SD card. if i remember correctly, if the restoration of the backup was succesful the phone should stay in CWM. In my case the screen went black for a few seconds then it looked like it would boot. However it just got stuck showing the Samsung logo with model number, so Samsung Galaxy S II GT-I9100.
I can still enter recovery and download mode. I did a factory reset, wiped cache partition and even re-flashed the stock ROM using odin but to no avail. After flashing the ROM, it didn't work so i did a factory reset again. It still got stuck on the logo so i went into recovery again. In recovery mode it says "E: failed to mount /sytsem (invalid arguement)". i could solve that problem by reflashing the ROM though.
does anybody know what caused this and even more imortantly, how to solve my issue?
On a side note, could be relevant, my phone just froze all of a sudden some times in the past months. i had to reboot my phone everytime it froze
Thx in advance
EDIT: ok, i've re-flashed the ROM again with odin. at first there is the green droid and the blue loading bar right below, but after a few seconds the screen goes black again and it tries to boot and gets stuck. I pulled battery, reinserted it and went into recovery, wiped cache. when i select "reboot" from the menu it says "E: failed to mount /sytsem (invalid arguement)"
Edit2: after flashing the ROM i get this "E: failed to mount /data (invalid arguement)" when rebooting over recovery. I've found a thread where it says i need to flash the dbdata.rfs.tar using odin. i will try that now
Edit3: when i try to flash the file i get a "NAND write start" "fail" error. I've been to a store that will take care of my problem.

TBH, I was aware that there was a brick bug but I thought i wouldn't be affected :silly:
And I was happy with ICS so I didn't upgrade. Also there is an app that currently only works on 4.0 or lower, so I didn't bother with upgrading.
the technicians of the store weren't able to repair it. i guess i have the brickbug :crying:
