Hi,
Now me being an idiot accidentally formated th emmc in CWM Recovery! I read that this is something no one should do unless you know how to correctly partition the internal SD-Card.
Now that it is too late, could someone be please so nice and tell me how i should correctly partition the Internal SD-Card.
Can this be done completely in CWM?
I googled for a guide but had no luck at all!
I have a Galaxy SII I9100 European version! CWM Recovery 5.0.2.7
ThanxXx
Emmc is your micro sd card if stock.
Emmc is your internal sd card if cm9 or similar.
So either way its nothing to be worried.

I was using Checkrom v6. I formatted the emmc while doing a full wipe before installing cm9.
What are you asking?
What do you want to do?

Got a warranty replacement phone from ATT today and need to install CWM 5.0.2.7. Running UnNamed and have a CWM backup but I cannot use version 5.0.2.3 to restore. I can't for the life of me find a download link for 5.0.2.7. Any help would be appreciated.

Flash Entropy or Siyah's kernel, they have the latest.

You can use Mobile Odin if you just want to grab the zImage.
Though you should just use the CWM Zips that are posted in either thread.
thank you!
Did your old phone go back completely factory? (Binary counter) If not, samsung has a nasty habit of sending you a 600 dollar bill for your replacement phone

Yes, this is my 3rd S2 replaced under warranty. I made a jig a while back, much easier to reset the counter.
Now I am having a bit of another issue. I flashed CWM using Entrophys version. All went well, I was able to flash UnNamed without a problem. From my old phone I transferred over my SD Card which has the latest CWM backup. When I go to restore it will not read my SD Card. If I let the phone boot up into the system the phone reads it fine. I've tried mounting it manually in CWM but it won't take. Not sure why this won't work especially since UnNamed is based off Entrophys build.

Did you use the absolute latest version? If you used 2/28 - the changelog is VERY important.

Yes I did get the latest version. I think I just figured it out, although I am not sure how to go about fixing it. In trying to fix the issue I used ADB to flash CWM to the phone. When I was typing the path to flash the kernel it said it the path didn't exist. Odd. Turns out the path was /sdcard/external_sd/. Once I put that path in all was good. Still when I go to restore I cannot get it to read or mount the sd card. Looking at my old phone CWM was reading my internal storage as the sd card and not using the external sd card to backup. I am not sure how this happened. Of course I can move the backup file to the internal memory of the new phone and do a restore but how do you change the path to the sd card so its not reading internal memory as the sd card?

In CWM prior to 2/28, the external SD was /emmc, not /sdcard/external_sd
After 2/28 - internal is /emmc and external is /sdcard (swapped)

Is there a way to change that path? On my new phone it is still reading internal memory as the external source. Its almost like the internal memory path is reading /sdcard. It works now but this is driving me nuts...

This is the way it works:
When running normally in TW firmware:
Internal is /sdcard, external is /sdcard/external_sd - These aren't relevant as far as restoring nandroid backups
Old CWM:
Internal is /sdcard, external is /emmc
New CWM (following the standard):
Internal is /emmc, external is /sdcard
So something you backed up to /sdcard before will now be /emmc - and CWM 5.0.2.8 fixed advanced restore from the internal (previously external) SD. Normal restore from both locations has worked for 2-3 months.

i have followed this http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1531120
And i'm running CM7. I can't access to the internal storage as My Nook like everyone does. I'm a user
Please anyone show me how to make the internal storage mount when plug into the PC ?
I'v read a lot from many threads but mostly for developer so no images at all. I can't follow them step by step and don't know which step i needed to enable mount for the internal storage.
Sorry if this annoy & make people think that i'm lazy
Hello your link gives 404 error , modify it please.
About internal storage what version of CM7 are you running? the beta version fixed this issue so if you have the alpha final version i suggest you to update. But if you indeed have the latest beta build then try making all wipes (factory reset, cache and dalvik cache) then reflash the ROM.

Hello, is your device the 8gb or 16gb model? also your problems started when you installed TWRP recovery or when you had CWM recovery?
~ V
my nook is a 16gb model. The problem started when i was in CWM recovery, i can't flash the cm9.zip so i tried out sth and end up like this
Now my nook tablet has no OS . Can just boot into TWRP
Go to my recovery thread in development section and follow the instructions to flash the internal recovery 0.05.1 (CM9 specific) from a CWM recovery sdcard also from there flash CM9 ROM if you have it in internal sdcard. Otherwise you'll have to to boot into internal cwm recovery and flash the ROM from another sdcard or the same sdcard you used after format it first with SD formatter software for windows (recommended)

No no you have to flash internal recovery FROM a cwm recovery sdcard. Read again my post carefully and follow all the tutorial I have posted in my recovery thread. Use the CM9 internal recovery as I suggested.
You can't flash a recovery.zip from internal recovery on the nook tablet, at list not yet.

So, I was being an idiot in CWM and I formatted EVERYTHING. /system, /dbdata, /cache, /data, /emmc, and /sdcard. The reason I formatted is because I was getting OCD about my device because factory reset/wipe didn't wipe anything at all and I wanted a clean slate. Now, I am stuck in an endless boot cycle and I have no way of mounting the internal sdcard. I tried using ADB to push RemICS-UX to the internal sdcard, but it didn't work. I can still access CWM, and I am running v5.0.2.8.
However, I am able to mount /emmc, but I don't have an external sdcard, yet. Is there any possible workaround to mount the internal sdcard or USB storage?
Dont worry
go to egryits rom , select odin download. Let it download.Download odin, open the rom in odin . Put your gplayer in download mode and flash the rom! Good luck! Dont forget to wipe dalvick and cache in cwm
Happened to me twice LOL
In CWM the sdcard is mounted at /emmc and the external card is detected as the USB storage. The Odin solution should work, but try pushing a ROM to /emmc and flashing it. Everything should be back to normal as long as you didn't format efs

Thanks for the help, it worked perfectly. Good job on the ROM by the way!
I can't back up my S3 (fw 4.1.2) to external sdcard. I choose backup to extsdcard from the backup menu in cwm 6.0.1.2 but it says 'Can't mount backup path'. Ne1 have solutions to this?
Is it formatted in fat32?
Hi Glebun, I formatted my card internally with my phone. Should I format it with FAT32?
Yes. Formatting internally on stock-ish systems will result in Fat64 which is not only incompatible with Cwm but has several issues on it's own.
You may want to try to mount the sdcard's filesystem before backing up

Hello guys! I just had a quick question, So I have a Galaxy Note 2 for T-Mobile (t0ltetmo) with a custom ROM on it and Philz recovery. If I were to format the main memory (internal SD card, not system partition) from the mounts part of my recovery, will it brick my phone? Would I also need to clear my cache? Thanks, just a little confused about this!

It will definetly not brick your phone. It will just format your internal storage so your internal SD will be erased. Be sure to back it up and everything will be fine.
So, would I need to reset my phone and clear the cache in my recovery so it boots correctly? Or is it just okay to format the internal SD and reboot? Thanks for the reply man! Appreciate your help!
