Im sorry for creating a new thread but i have little problem with my phone.
Yeah its my fault that i´ve checked the pit file in case trying to install beta ics rom
XXKP8 and after that my phone comes with an error. That error is CWM. Witch can´t install any rom. Phone is not compleately dead i can boot to original rom after flashing that through odin but thats it.. only original rom.. no 3rd party rom ..
i dont know how to fix this.. i´ve trying to search everywhere but it seems that i am the only one who have this problem.
so im begging you guys... open your file of mercy and help me

1) Flash the old bootloaders from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278 using odin
2) Flash a stock rom from that thread using odin
3) Flash root kernel of your choice using odin
Thank you so much. That finaly helped !

NP, beware ICS bootloaders, lots of people have got themselves in a pickle because of them.
well.. it seemed that everything is alright again. but it is not.. well maybe partialy i dunno. i´ve flashed KL1 stock rom from that thread everything was going well exept 3G wont work. Then, i´ve flashed syah´s kernel for CWM through odin. again.. everything ok. But then i´ve flashed CM7 through CWM5 -> restart -> kernel panic. i tought that CM7.zip has kernell inside so that wasnt be a problem.. but something is wrong.. i´ve trying install miui.. same thing.. but with another kernell. With syah´s, it was ok because syah´s is compatible with miui but CM7 is not ? its like a merry-go-round
so im asking again please... what is wrong ?
Did you flash the modem as well?
There seems to be some random problems with the newest SiyahKernel and CM7, do the following
Put CM7 zip in internal sd card
Flash any CWM kernel
Flash CM7 zip
Reboot to recovery
Flash CM7 zip again
Wipe data/cache/dalvik cache
hmm interesting.. phone is trying to boot but it loops at trying to boot
triangle triangle triangle ... :>
Bootloop thread
been there, done that, doest not solve anything
only going bat to stock rom and then i can continue again:
flashing stock XXKK5 -> ok
flashing siah -> boots -> ok
flashing cm7 nightly 116 -> kernell panic
flashing cf-root -> flashing cm7 nightly 116 -> "boot loop"
again -> "boot loop" (not boot logo but triangle keeps going)

The pits seem to be identical, so I dont think thats the problem, you *could* try flashing a GB rom with a GB pit, but of cause if something happens mid flash you could hardbrick your phone, at your own risk, and I don't even think it would help.
Apart from that I am all out of ideas..
nwm thank you for all your help i think ill be just using stock or miui or i will w8 for cm 9
I seem to have a similar problem. Originaly Running stock 2.3.4 i flashed ICS 4.0.3 following a guide on or linked at samfirmware which insisted we should tick repartition and add .pit file. I tried flashing without the repartition + .pit but didnt work so ticked the box and added the .pit file, flashed pass ICS runs.
Every other rom i flashed never required repartition + .pit now i am only able to run 2.3.6 or ics but nothin below 2.3.6 if i flash anything else i get the same as op.

I got my replacement phone (lucky me) after first one got a cracked screen.
I was at JI6 stock and wanted to get Simply Honey 3.5 REVO.
So first I flashed the 3.3 update coming from froyo as was in the instructions and I got stuck at boot look with rainbow. My only choice was to odin back to stock, and here is where I am stuck....
I tried JI6 with or without re-partion and get the following error
E:Can't mount /dev/block/stl10
(Invalid argument)
E:copy_dbdata_media:Can't mount DBDATA:
copy default media content failed.
I also tried Eugene's JK2 that doesn't brick and got a similar error, but there was an option to reformat SD Card, but I can't select it, since in 3e recovery power button won't work...
Please someone help me...
+1 to this. I'm having the same problem.
did you do all of this?
- Install Instructions v3.3
1. Place Simply3.3Update1.zip on your internal sdcard
2. Boot into clockwork recovery
3. Perform a factory reset.
4. Select the zip file and flash.
5. Once it is finished rebooting, wait 15 minutes before doing ANYTHING!
6. NOW REBOOT AGAIN!!!
- Works to come from any Rom. Wipe, wipe, wipe first.
- YES IS SAFE TO COME RIGHT FROM RC2!!!!!!
Install Instructions v3.5 Revolution
1. You must first be running a Gingerbread rom (Doesn't matter Lindroid, Rainbows, your cousins top secret GB rom.) If you are not then please follow instructions above to flash 3.3 first and then proceed below.
2. Place Simply_Honey_3.5_Revo.zip on your SD card
3. Use rom manager. Click Flash Clockwork Mod Recovery and select I9000
4. Flash rom in Rom Manager.
I HAVE TESTED THIS NUMEROUS TIMES AND I KNOW WHAT WORKS AND WHAT DOES NOT. IF YOU SKIP A STEP YOU WILL DEFINITELY RUN INTO PROBLEMS SUCH AS BOOT LOOPS OR APPS NOT INSTALLING

Ok.
Flashed the stock+voodoo.
I have clockwork now, but I still can't boot past recovery.
I'm trying to perform a full data/reset, but I am still getting the following errors.
e:Can't mount /dev/block/stl10

Error mounting /datadata/!

Should I try to repartition the SD card through clockwork?
What are the standard partition sizes?
Thanks.
EDIT: I have flashed a ROM, and while it flashes fine, I am still booting to recovery every time. Getting this error even after flashing a ROM successfully.
DOUBLE EDIT: Finally got a 100% successful Odin flash. Re-partition and to stock JFD. Looks like I might be back in business. Thanks everyone!!!
pretty sure you need to odin JFD , which is original stock rom. JI6 won't work and the only way I could ever odin JI6 was to do it without a pit file...but yea, you need to odin JFD..

Thanks! I probably crashed with Odin 50-60 times before I got a solid flash.
Ridiculously nerve-racking.
I am very new to rooting and flashing and just finished rooting my phone and flashing clockwork on my phone through odin. Now I don't have an operating system on the phone and if I try to click and drag the ROM onto my SD card it says not enough room. Can I just load my ROM into odin under PDA and click go? or how do I go about getting an OS back on the phone? Do I need to do anything with the PIT in odin? Thanks
Also when I click apply sdcard:update.zip I get a message saying E:can't mount /dev/block/vold179:9
(no such file or directory)
E:can't mount SDCARD:udate.zip

You need to make room on SD card, also what is your goal? To get miui, cm7, custom Tom?

You must 3 finger boot into recovery immediately after pushing recovery with odin, and when you are in recovery for the first time you must flash a non stock kernel then and there so that recovery doesn't get overwritten back to stock when you boot up.
Also you should be selecting install zip from sd, and then navigating to said rom and selecting install do not use update.zip.
finally what recovery are you trying to use to flash vgb? I would use otb 3x.x.x, times infinity's 3.x.x.x, or 3-30fix all, those seem to be the best recovery for flashing...just my.02
Edit if you still can't get anything to load you may need to odin back to stock first to get everything straightened back out....if you can't get your phone to boot anything I'd odin eb01 in pda and atlas 2.2pit with repartition checked (you do these both at the same time)....it may be over kill but will get your phone back to stock, and from there you shouldn't have any problems with dev blocks or install problems as long as you follow my suggestions above.

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.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
i tried, but i got boot loop again..
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?????
PDA: CODE_I9100XXKI3_CL577579_REV02_user_low_ship.tar
MODEM: MODEM_I9100XXKI3_REV_02_CL1062028.tar
PIT: u1_02_20110310_emmc_EXT4
CSC: GT-I9100-CSC-MULTI-OXAKI3.tar
CF-ROOT as PDA:CF-Root-SGS2_XX_OXA_KI3-42-v4.2-CWM4
Custom ROM: DarkyROM2_KI3_Base
What i'm doing wrong????
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.

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 tried wiping data but keeps generating same errors to the internal SD card with a unique error : E:format_volume: make_extf4fs failed on /dev/block/mmcblk0p8 .
i looked for a custom recovery file that i can install using ODIN but they're all in .img form not .tar.md5 so i didn't know what to do with them, phone doesn't recognize .img to install directly from sd card.:crying:
i tried using odin to install custom recovery tar.md5 file but didn't fix anything,
i tried installing this rom ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/development/rom-archidroid-v2-4-6-power-hands-t2354859 ) using the ( mount external sd card ) and transfering rom zip file and installing it via CWM recovery interface, the installation was succesful but still can't boot due to the mentioned errors .
i tried using ABD thingie but for somereason it just won't recognize my phone, while odin does, i tried installing and reinstalling samsung usb driver and ABD drivers but still didn't help,
my original ROM was CM 11.2 nightly.
please help i am desperate, i searched everywhere but there's always something that falls between my steps .
i am more than happy to get assistance via skype etc.
i managed to download and flash my phone with stock 4.3, but i am still facing same problem, stuck at samsung logo and same errors in CWM recovery .
Same problem
i think we might have the same problem.
samdroid posted a possible solution in my thread maybe try that?

but i can't find a thread or forum section dedicated to cm 11 !
update: i was able to access ABD command line, i tested 3 CWM recovery .img files and all 3 of them reported as (bad) by my phone .
Could be bad eMMC. If you want to be sure try flash the rescue firmware from this thread (with pit) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=30087735&postcount=6
If it's still not working it's a hardware fault.

after multiple tries, it didn't work, the installation won't even initialize, it keeps saying FAIL
please anyone...help !!!!
If you're still in warranty send it in for repair. Sometimes eMMC will fail and download mode will say custom even if phone has never been flashed so they might repair it for you.

it's been long since off warranty, if there's a fix it has to be something i can do myself, sending it for repair is out of the question .

Meanwhile download CFAutoroot and make the recovery of stoock and see if there is recovery. After you find MK6 Factory with BL,AP,CSC,Modem, separated and with odin 3.9 to install and i hope that you have data backup because this eliminates everything. If this succeeds you should do restore the folders EFS. I hope that you can help if you have any problems finding the material send me a private message that I see if I can upload them to mega .
