When I do eclair Odin. It works like a champ. When I do the cwm4 for cm7/nihilist it works like a champ. But when I flash cm7 or miui it doesn't want to work. Says e:/ can't mount etc. Why is that?

cache isnt mounted
reformat the sd card and try again or reread my last post and try that. mtd roms can be a pain to flash on some fascinates. also you can try by odining a different stock package such as ed05,eb01,dl01...etc
Still getting the same message. Can't mount cache and does like 5 lines of error messages for it. I have followed the steps to a t. Also formated my sd card. But I was able to loads gapps through cm7 on rom manager.

I installed cf root earlier..after I installed it it boots into recovery and says waiting for sdcard to mount(20)..(19)..(18).. etc.. but it fails.
Now when I go to install zip from sdcard it says E:can't mount /sdcard/
Any ideas?

Afaik Recovery cannot install from exFat, make sure the SDcard is formatted in any of the supported filesystems
(EXT2,EXT3,EXT4,FAT32 and possibly NTFS depending on kernel)
Cf-Cwm 1.5 works normally for me with a sandisk 6rgb sd formatted in exfat.

You cannot install zip from SD card if you dont have an external sd card
Try using the "choose zip from internal sdcard" as thats all you have.
Thank you lol, it must be the updated version of the recovery..the one I had before was just choose .zip from sdcard. That option works thanks
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
Yeah it should be
"Install zip" and within there there is "choose zip from SD card" and "Choose zip from internal SD card". Older versions of Recovery did not have the internal option. Although the version I got when I rooted did have, several weeks ago.
Yeah I was rooted a couple months ago but had to send off for a new phone..so cf obviously updated it and I didn't realise

Try /mnt/sdcard/ ?
I got around the same problem. I install a zip via internel SD card like you guys say and now my Galaxy S III won't turn on. It is just standing and loading.
I can go into download mode and recovery mode but in both mode I can't do anything because my phone can not mount SD card.

Which rom are you flashing?
Boot loops are often fixed by doing the following:
Go into recovery and do format system/factory reset, clear cache and then go advanced -> clear dilvac cache.

The same problem happened to me since the motherboard of my phone is replaced due to the failure of external SD card reader.
I have a Galaxy SL i9003 and previously I was able to flash any ROM on my phone via CWM recovery.
But since the motherboard of my phone has been replaced by Samsung Electronics, I'm unable to do so. /* The only advantage I got is the internal memory of my phone increased from 4GB to 16 GB.
But since then, I'm unable to flash any ROM. Whenever I try to do so, I get an error message in CWM recovery, "E: Error mounting SD card" or "E: can't mount SD card!". When I try to choose from external sd card, it again shows "E: Error moung SD card!".
I'm stuck.. please help..!
Any luck?

How did you partition your SD card? What program did you use, what type of partition is it, and how is it formatted?

I have used clockwork mod recovery 5.0.2.7 I guess I have partitioned my sdcard i.e. 512mb ext
Sent from my LG-P500 using xda app-developers app
I believe CWM defaults to ext4. If you didn't make any other partitions, then your SD card partition structure should be as follows now:
/mnt/sdcard, FAT, primary
/sdext, ext4, primary
Try using link2sd's menu to recreate mount scripts, & choose ext4. Also, make sure you're still rooted properly, and still have expected su access.

I recollect facing the same problem.I guess the problem isn't with link2sd its got to to do with the fact that the stock kernel doesn't support ext partition try flashing a custom kernel that supports ext partition.

Ah, good catch! I didn't notice that.
If you don't want to flash a new ROM, you can format the 2nd partition as FAT, and link2sd has the option to mount that the same way as others.

I don't understand. Do you want to keep stock, or flash a custom ROM? If all you want is to use link2sd, you shouldn't need to flash anything.

Backup your sd card on PC.
Do factory reset
Re partition ur sd card in cwm
Start phone & install link2sd before any other application
Use ext4
If ur kernel doesnt support ext 4
Partition ur card on PC using some partitioning software. use ext2 in this case. And try link2 sd now
Pls let me know if this helps

Hello guys,this is my first post here so don't be tough with me
First of all some info:
Model:Galaxy SIII GT-I9300
ROM: Android Revolution HD 15.2
Kernel: Perseus 26.1
CWM: 6.0.1.2
I recently updated normally into ARHD 15.2 and everything was normal.But after I booted up into recovery mode I noticed that those lines were on the screen:
E: Can't open /cache/recovery/log
E: Can't open /cache/recovery/log
E: Can't open /cache/recovery/last_log
E: Can't open /cache/recovery/last_log
I searched and read many threads in order to find the best and the most suitable solution but I couldn't find anything helpful.The main problem in almost every thread was that the phone had a bootloop.Fortunately, I don't have that problem.My phone boots normally.I also tried to wipe cache partition and dalvik cache in order to find any more errors but nothing appeared and my phone booted normally updating android apps.I found the thread below but I don't know if I have to do all this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10878511&postcount=8311
So any help would be greatly appreciated.
Have you tried flashing cwm yourself with Odin? I know it probably comes with your ROM, but try flashing the latest cwm (same version you have, i'm sure) with odin
Let me know if that does anything.
Thanks for the reply mate
Last night I unmounted and mounted ext sd card again from inside the phone..Then I booted into recovery and everything was back to normal.I dont know what caused the problem though.

Hi
I'm facing the same issue: Can't open /cache/recovery...
I already tried flashing CWM Recovery(lastest version) using Heimdall(1.3.1, 1.3.2 and 1.4RC1) and didn't work.
When using the CMW that I aready have installed, if I try to install a CM10.1 it show me up as installed, but when booting I got the previous ROM screen and freeze screen of death.
Ideas?
On the cache problem, try the solution that worked for the OP, unmount the SD card and boot again.
On the ROM issue do a full wipe and flash a stock ROM via ODIN to get you back to a good starting point.
As with every situation, backup your efs partition first.
Basically i went to flash a Rom in my phone, one of the requirements for the Rom was to format system. Not looking I, formatted SD card instead. Erasing my backup i had just made, and whipping the Rom that I was about to flash. So, what I need help with is seeing if anyone know a way to flash a Rom to my phone while in recovery, or is there a way to mount my SD Card memory while in Fastboot or recovery? I'm just looking to be able to flash any Rom in my phone to at least get it able to be used again.

twrp, i did have clockwork recovery at first but adb flashed twrp hopping they had a mount sd function
Okay, boot into twrp, then hit mount, then hit mount USB storage. Plug it into your PC and re-copy your rom of choice.

When i click mount, it only comes up with the option to mount system, mount data, and mount cache. Is there a newer version of twrp? The version i have is called Team Win Recovery Project v2.3.2.0

Whenever you flash roms you must format all partitions so data isn't left behind. When data is left behind, problems will occur on the rom you just flashed.
If you want to backup your room just make a internal SD backup via nandroid. If you want to restore it later just format all partitions again and go nandroid and choose restore. Your backup should be there.
And you shouldn't format the internal SD card since you lose data. Only format if it becomes corrupt (doesn't mount or work properly).
