hi there
i was removing ext-sdcard to install a new rom to my sgs2 and follow these steps:
.run into the Recovery
.wipe data
.wipe cache
.enter mounts and storage
.format cache, system, data, sdcard, emmc
.back to main menu
.enter advanced
.wipe dalvik and cache
.back to main menu again
.enter mounts and storage
.then to mount usb storage
.copying rom files from my pc to my phone's internal storage
.unmount
.back to main menu
.enter install zip from sdcard
.choose zip file from sdcard
.and finally installing the rom successfully!!!
a few days ago i wanted to try another rom and followed the same steps but i got "E:Unable to write to ums lunfile (No such file or directory)" when trying to mount usb storage. in the other hand i can't format sdcard. i got "unable to mount scdard" error mesage.
did i brick my internal storage?now i installed original rom md5 file with odin. i can see my 11,5gb internal storage. my CWM version is 5.0.2.7. how can i fix this problem???
which version on cmw do you have? 4.x.x.x may have this problem. versione 5.0.0.x solved it for me
my CWM version is 5.0.2.7 and using siyahkernel 2.3

**** i thought i was seeing things as i am the same as the OP but this isn't good
Well after panicking and thinking my phone was broke, I found this thread, and flashed a different kernel and all is working again.
At first I thought it was the latest cwm causing a problem as it worked in the previous cwm but it was the kernel causing the "Unable to write to ums..." error

After using Odin, I have this problem
'E:Can't mount /Cache/recovery/log
E:Can't open /Cache/recovery/log....'
Then I wipe it. It is success.
But when I choose zip from sdcard
It said E:can't mount /sdcard/
How can I solve it?
I can't boot my gs2 now!
Answer me please
Just try to reflash with odin most of the times this solves the problem.
if not try another firmware (rom)

I can't boot and can't read my internal sd, how can I flash another rom?
Using CWM, you can mount /sdcard.
Check mounts and storage menu.
Also try "Mount Usb storage", connect to pc and check if comp detects your phone.

E:Unable to write to ums lunfile(No such file or directory)
Try flashing one of the rooted kernels using Odin.

Currentlyhaving the same issue.
This is a kernel issue. It happened to one of the 2.x Siyahkernel beta versions. Simplest solution is to boot the phone and use CWM to flash a different kernel using the tar format (instead of the zip format good for use in recovery mode) (flash a kernel version that's known to be without this problem).
If you can't get past the boot screen, just use odin. But then if you can't get past the boot screen you probably need to flash a ROM over anyway.
I am having the same issue with my internal SDCARD
I cannot access my internal SDCARD. When I insert my external (/removeable) sdcard, recovery sees that as the SDCARD.
I have tried to mount/ dismount/ usmount the internal SDCARD - same error.
THIS is the TMOBILE T989 and we got it yesterday - brand new.
So, I did get it to work from the removeble SDCARD, but I am so use to using the internal SDCARD on my VIBRANT as the primary resource for ROMS, etc, and the external SDCARD as a backup - that it is kinda strange to work now with only one SDCARD (the ext).
It must be something in the recovery that does not see the primary SDCARD...
CAn anyone help, please?
Note that CWM 4 and CWM 5 behave differently with respect to internal and external sd cards (well CWM 4 simply doesn't do external sd card). It'd be your best interest to flash a kernel that comes with a CWM version 4.x.x and for sure internal sdcard will work.
In CWM4, internal sdcard is /sdcard. External card is /emmc. (you can only format external sdcard but not write to it nor mount it.
In CWM5, you can restore nandroid backup from internal sdcard (but you can flash updates from both) . And in the CWM app, default backup location is the external sdcard.
Those who are having problems with CWM 5, flash this version of CWM from your CWM!

You will have cwm 4.
Good afternoon,
I am having a big problem with my white Samsung Galaxy I9100 S2. I haven't sd card, but my internal memory is 11.5 GB. So I would like to install CWM. When I root via CF-root I have CWM 4. Everything is fine and I can to install zip via recovery boot.
But when I flash other kernel with CWM 5 (with blue text) I am getting an error when I try to install zip via recovery boot. Error says that E:can't mount /sdcard/.
So where is the problem? I have tried everything: about 10 different kernels, different roms, format internal memory, use ROM manager and so on. When the CWM is 5 it doesn't work, I get an error. But when the CWM is 4 everything is fine.
I am waiting your answers.
Thank you in advance!
Regards,
MySelf
Still waiting your answers..
So basicly if you use CF-root everything is fine. Then what is the problem? Where did you get CWM 5 from?
The problem is that the CWM5 doesn't work. Read my first post.
CWM5 I got with a kernel from xda forum.
Again: the problem is that if I have CWM5 I'm getting error which is saying that E:can't mount /sdcard/ and I can't install zip in recovery mode.
Regards,
MySelf
Yes I can understand that. But why do you need CMW5?
If it comes with an other rom, I then can understand that you have no choice. But if CWM4 works, then there is no point in using CWM5.
Choose internal sdcard, not sdcard.

It comes with other rom and kernels. I would like to use other rom (not SGS2 stock) with other kernels and I can't, because I am getting error.

How to choose it? It is set by default I think, because I can't find anywhere where I could choose CWM usage internal sdcard, not sdcard.

In newer versions of CWM recovery, (such as 5.0.2.7 in Siyah kernel) after you select an option like "install zip from sdcard", there should be multiple options:
choose zip from sdcard
apply /sdcard/update.zip
toggle script asserts
choose zip from internal sdcard
On a stock ROM "from sdcard" refers to /sdcard/external_sd (i.e. a physical microSD) and "from internal sdcard" refers to /sdcard (i.e. internal storage).
Before installing zip try this:
go to mounts and storage
mount data (thats mean change it from mount /data to unmount /data)
and so on for system.
then install your zip file.

I have looked up this problem on both xda and google but found no Galaxy SII specific solutions.
I receive the error "Can't mount /cache/recovery" message when I enter recovery mode. The same error occurs when try to mount every other mounts and still receive the equivalent error. eg mount emmc gives "error mounting /emmc/
I am unable to flash a new rom or even mount the sd card to place a rom on.
I have rebooted the phone multiple times but to no avail. I have also tried to full wipe, cache wipe and format the internal partitions individually through the recovery but it did not work.
Clockworkmod recovery v5.0.2.3
same error occurs on cwm 4.0.1.4
No current rom
Heard people say that by removing the sd card the error is resolved... (will only work if a corrupt sd card is to blame)
Might be able to use internal though
I tried it without the sd card, still same error. Also, the sd card i used before was working on another phone with all files intact, so no corrupted sd.
I would try starting a fresh... flashing with odin etc ... can you access download mode ?

Yeah that version of cwm has that problem. What you can do is copy a rom to your external sdcard, take out sdcard and put in card reader copy rom and put back in phone, and install from zip and then go external sdcard and install from there. Or what you can do is use odin to flash cwm v5.5 which works just fine.
Hope this helps.

I just reflashed the chainfire kernel through heimdall command script as my odin wasntt detecting my phone
I had this twise thought I was the only one believe it or not on two sgs2s in 2 weeks I fixed by flashing stock rom

Could well help. The recovery.img turned out to be incompatible with my device, giving the same errors.
I am a complete noob and got my lesson for messing up with my phone. I have an already rooted SGH i777 and was trying to flash OMNI Rom for 4.4. I wiped emmc by mistake. Although I did back my stuff up, they are no where to be found.I get cannot mount SD card error through CWM v6. I read somewhere that this is resultant of having no operating system in my phone anymore.
My phone is not recognised by computer. But I can access an external microSD card while booting recovery using CWM. Please help me as I am completely lost without my phone. You patience is deeply appreciated.

If that's the case, you should be able to put a rom on the micro SD card and simply flash it in recovery. You may have lost your backups, but if you can flash a rom via the SD card you ought to be fine.
Let us know if you need any more help,
sent from the i777
I'm not clear what you mean by "I wiped EMMC." Can you please describe exactly what you did, and describe the options you used if it was through recovery, which I assume it would have been.
If you put the phone into download mode while Odin3 is open on the desktop, does Odin3 recognize the phone?
FYI: TWRP file browser sees internal memory as "emmc". From the advanced wipe menu of TWRP, exists the option to wipe internal memory.
edit: really annoyed that I am limited to eight thanks at a PC, which has a much more comfortable interface than the XDA app, where I have unlimited thanks to offer my peers.
This is what happened
Dear all,
Thank you for your help. This is what I did. I tried to install Omni ROM for 4.4. I I downloaded the .zip file for the ROM and Gapps package zip and SuperUser zip. I went to CWM based recovery mode and wiped data/factory reset and wipe cache partition and in advanced wipe dalvik cache.( I did not run any wipe script as mentioned in this forum. I would have avoided all this if i actually paid attention and read the correct way of flashing here.)
I then went on to mounts and storage and did format/cache , system, data and preload. But also format /emmc
After that no ROM could be flashed and I could not access any recoveries. I realised my error when I saw the log that No files are found and couldnt open directory.
Update :
My phone is not recognized by Odin v1.85 and I also put a SAMSUNG_UCLE5.zip for SGHi777 given by a friend on to a microSD card and tried flashing that ROM from external microSD.
The log says:
I:Can't partition unsafe device: /dev/block/mmcblk1p1
I tried to partition just to see if it works. This time the log says
I:Can't format unknown volume :/external_sd. I never had an external sd card, but I gather that the system was partitioned in such a way that one chunk is considered external_sd.
Odin doesnt recognise it in download mode. I tried every USB port, changed data cables, tried different drivers available on Samsung website.
Please tell me I didn't ruin my phone. Any help is deeply appreciated.

This is beyond my level of understanding. I'm not sure what block 1p1 is. All of the partitions are designated as 0px where x is a number 1-15~.
I assume you've tried all the variables to get Odin to recognize the phone in download mode. Since Odin doesn't recognize download mode, I don't know of anything else to do but send it to someone with jtag equipement. It'll cost you maybe 40 or 50 bucks, but at least you can get your phone back. The person most trusted in the forums here for this sort of repair is Josh at Mobile Tech Videos.
Hi guys, looks like im back with another rom / storage problem, and its really bugging me. PLEASE HELP!!!
Ok, stock sam firmware is fine, cm 9 is fine, anything higher or lower boot loops and / or doesn't have internal storage. I flash recovery 4.x.x.x (CWM) Through rom manager, (Allows me to reboot into it, but volume up power and home gives stock recovery) I flash a rom in this way:
Wipe data
wipe cache
install zip
reboot
sometimes, i will also wipe dalvik / battery stats
In cm 10 recovery it says warning no file contexts
when I format preload in cwm-based recovery v6.0.4.5
E:format_volume: make_extf4fs failed on /devblock/mmcblk0p12
Error formatting preload!
I also get this in cwm-based recovery v6.0.4.5
E:Can't mount /storage/sdcard0
Error mounting /storage /sdcard0!
in earlier versions of recovery, both sd cards show up on my mac after turn on usb storage, but when i flash cwm-based recover v6.0.4.5 it only shows external
when I flash cm10.2 / 10.1 i get bootloop. I flash kitkat rom after, and it boots, but recovery and rom cannot access internal, sometimes external storage. I really dont know why.
i am sorry its all a bit messy, but I just wanted to tell you guys everything
Please help guys
