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.

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.

Hello all, I am a noob. I tried to install my first rom, OpenOptimus 1.48, from this tread :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1033653
I followed the instructions, wich said to get the file on the sd card then partition the card, then I get my phone able to boot in colckworkmod recovery but nothing else, file not found for install the rom because the partition is formated.. We are c urrently 2 noobs that this happened at the end of the posts on that tread.
So this is a kind of catch-22, now the compuiter wont recognize the usb, wich is the best method to get it working again now ? I am currently trying to get adb, if someone knows the treads to look for I'll be happy.
Thanks from Canada
Eh, the instructions do not say any such thing like to put something on SD card and then format/partition it. Anyway,
Either download the SDK, connect the phone via USB cable and do
Code:
adb push openOptimus-build-X.XXX.zip /sdcard/openOptimus-build-X.XXX.zip
and flash it from recovery like the instructions say,
or simply remove the SD card from phone and use a card reader to copy it there in PC.
Just mount usb storage from recovery and connect it to pc. The card will be recognized and then copy the zip file.

at the first page, instructions looks like that :
"
4.Go to Advanced>Partition SD Card
512 EXT(Do not create it if you do not want a2sd)
0 Swap
Remainder FAT32
5.Go into the main recovery menu and select "wipe data/factory reset"
6.Go to Mounts and storage>format /system
7.Go into the main recovery menu and select "install zip from sdcard"
8.Select "choose zip from sdcard"
"
So then I got the file on , then formated, so no more recovery . I have clockworkmod 3.1.0.0 installed.
I am trying to get ADB working, will try that. But looking at the instructions, is it me that is not understanding them well enough or are they written strangely ?
Thanks ;-)

Yes, the instructions do say that, but instead of blindly following them you should have realized that after partitioning the sd card all data would be deleted.
Anyway, the way to do this is after partitioning, select mount usb storage in recovery and connect it to ur pc(while still in recovery). The card will be recognized and you can copy the zip file. Then you can flash the zip.

I assumed he already tried that and it did not work (b/c of the "now the compuiter wont recognize the usb" part of the OP). Anyway, if not, then that is obviously the most easy way to get the file there.
Man I think your stock rom should still be working. Reboot and it should boot into your previous rom. And USB should work. Even in recovery u can mount sdcard.

I got a sd-adapter...
Well, no usb-mount while in recovery, adb is complicated to install and so I went to the store and got a micro-sd adapter and a new card with more capacity. Then no more complication to install the rom to the card & phone..
Thanks folks
Noob question.
Installing CM7 with CWM and ROM Manager, I'm getting can't mount /emmc
using internal SD with "the hard method", rooted with SOC
do i have to partition the SD card?
Dont flash CWM with ROM manager...use Odin to flash CWM kernel (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1285823). Also, dont use internal SD option, just go to install from SD in CWM and find the file...I had issues installing CM7 so let me know how it goes for you.
What the reply said. I initially had troubles trying to install from my SD card, so I just used root on my internal SD card. I flashed CM7 from CWM rather than using ROMManager, and ended up having my phone hang at boot. After some research, I discovered there's a glitch where the flash doesn't work correctly, so you actually have to flash CM7, and then flash it again right afterwards. Works like a charm for me now.
Hope this helps!
thanks for the replies both of you!
i did get CWM flashed ok...v5.0.2.3
when i'm in CWM, i disable signature checking then install from zip from internal sdcard and i get
E:Can't mount /emmc/

I think internal and external SD card are switched somewhere in CWM.
thanks! how do i fix that?
ok, yes Entropy you were right, the internal sdcard gives the /emmc error, the zip from sdcard works, and cm-galaxys2-full-75.zip starts installing then give the following
asset failed: getprop....
E:Error in /sdcard/cm_galaxys2_full-75.zip
(Status 7)
i also tried toggle script asserts
i figured it out, it was the galaxys2 nightlies from rommanager, not the galaxys2att, trying that now...
I don't think the euro GS2 nightlies work with ATT GS2, I could be mistaken though.

Thanks dan40hands,
I got it working with the ROM posted in Dev...
Doesn't look like the euro nightlies work...

Use this one http://www.multiupload.com/73J3G4C1CV
1. Boot into CWM
2. Nandroid back-up
3. Wipe data & cache
4. Choose install zip from SD card
5. Select the file downloaded above and install
6. Repeat step 4 & 5
7. Reboot and Enjoy
Why would you have to do 4 and 5 twice. Ie install it twice?

Oddity with Cyanogenmod in regard to coming from Samsung-derived ROMs, I think involving filesystem formatting. It was the same on the Infuse. Once you're on CM7, you'll only have to do updates once.

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.

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.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
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.
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
Following the guide everything went good until i came to the point of installing the rom from the sdcard.
When I try to choose zip from sdcard, CWM says "E:can't mount /sdcard/"
Someone told me to format the card with SD Formatter, I've done it but it didn't solve anything. :crying:
I'm completely stuck now, anyone can help me, please?

In CWM v6.1.0.4 downloaded with Alpha 2 it does not have external sdcard option.
I resolved with CWM v6.1.0.5 which comes with Alpha 3. :good:
Used Sideload option, since it doesn't see any external sdcard as well!
