I'm running cyanogenmod 9 on the xperia s, i believe i've got the thing up and running correctly as the phone works pretty well but i'd like to make a back up in clockworkmod but I get the error can't mount system - I did see the warning in the CM9 rom thread saying first attempt mount system fail, i seem to get this on every attempt!
What am i doing wrong?
Any help would be appreciated
Restart phone in recovery and go straight to mounts and storage, mount system then try and do the backup.
Sadly mounting the system this way doesn't work either...thanks for the help though

Hi.
Im having a problem since I bought my S2.
i cant make my external sdcard work in recovery on my s2. Im running RootBox 3.0 Jelly bean now but this hasnt worked even in ICS.
Whenever I try to flash something from external sdcard on my phone in cwm recovery it says "Error mounting /sdcard" or even when trying to just mount /sdcard it gives me this error.
I can acces my sdcard from PC or from phone, it just doesnt work in recovery.
Id like to know how to fix this.
Hello,
I have posted this on the general q&a already but i think i can get a bit more help here.
I bought a Samsung Galaxy S2 a few days ago.
It is the international version (i9100).
The problem is, i had it rooted and installed cm9 on it.
Then when i tried to make a backup the file was only 16 mb because the sdcard wouldn't mount in cwm recovery.
When i try to mount it manually in cwm it also gives the same error: Error mounting /sdcard!
I already tried like everything, flashing other cwm, other rom, also the original samsung firmware flashed back on gives the same error, another kernel, factory reset and cleaned the cache.
I don't know what i can do now to remount the internal sd card again.
Even when i try to format /sdcard it gives the error.
The only thing i haven't tried is re-partition but i've heard that it will brick your device since it has the bootloader in it which you will also delete.
I am now running cm10 because i thought when you change to cm10 it repartitions automatically. Didn't help either.
I hope someone can get me out of this problem.

I think I did something stupid.
I wanted to install a new ROM (OmniROM) and wanted a fresh device.
So I went into ClockworkMod Recovery v6.0.2.2 and went to the "Mounts and Storage" menu.
Here I did a format of all the storage available (except /external_sd)
To sum it up:
- format /cache
- format /system
- format /data
- format /preload
- format /sdcard
- format /data and /data/media
After this I went on and tried to install OmniRom. But I receive an "Installation aborted" error.
When I try to reboot the device it tells me:
Root access possibly lost. Fix? THIS CAN NOT BE ONDONE.
- No
- Yes - Fix root (/system/xbin/su)
- +++++Go Back+++++
I tried installing an other ROM (ArchiDroid 2.3) This installation process starts and I get through the wizard.
But the device keeps booting to ClockworkMod Recovery..
I'm having the feeling I ****ed up and deleted some necessary system files.
Is there a way to fix this brick?
I appreciate any help!
Managed to fix it.
I still had a full CWM backup from when I first rooted the phone. (1,5 year ago)
It was like a trip back in time
Hello guys,
I have a very strange problem that noone else has because i cant find anything about it on the net.
I have a Galaxy s3 with cyanogenmod 10.2 and boeffla 2.1 stabe using twrp as recovery. I´ve set up my system and made a backup of everything. then i´ve wanted to check if the restore is working so i restored my backup. after a reboot my entyre phone was set to factory state. happened 2 times . cyanogenmod was still installed but i had to configure the entire system again. after downloading all apps i decided to install cwm instead of twrp using cwm 6.0.4.5 touch for i9300 flashing via odin 1.85. everything worked fine and i booted into recovery to make a backup. cwm then says: Error cant mount /system so i tried to mount the system via the storage option. still says cant mount /system. then i rebooted my phone and again everything was gone... im really angry because whats the point of using a backup and then everything is gonna be erased.
i hope someone can help me with this. i also would erase everything and start from zero so that everything works.
Edit:
manual factory reset shows this:
formatting data
Error mounting /data.
Error mounting /sdcard/ . android_secure!
Skipping Format
formatting cache is working
cant format sd card.
&
Cant download apps from google play because of server problems...
show log:
mount: mounting /dev/block/mmcb1k0p16 on/data failed: no such file or directory
W: failed to mount /dev/blockmmcb1k0p16 (file exist)
cant wipe dalvik cache
!!!phone gets resetted everytime after cwm says error cant mount /system!!!
regards
Can be closed
I´ve installed original Samsung firmware and then CWM + CM10.2 + Boeffla 2.1 again and now CWM can mount everything and the Backup also works. maybe Twrp ****ed something up. i dont know.
regards
I have got a major issue go with my S3. I had lost my IMEI number but managed to get it back then over night it mysteriously vanished again. SO I went to install a back from nandroid...this is when it went wrong.
I went into philz and formatted everything.....and this is where i think i borked the internal memory.
I have since tried to
Install Omega v58 and it just sticks on on the start up omega droid walking.
Install stock ROM via Odin but it just hangs on the Samsung logo.
I have rerooted the phone but when i go into CWM to try to apply update zip ( as i read somewhere else to do ) i get the following
E: can't mount /sdcard/update.sip
if I try to chose zip from sdcard i get the following
E: can;t mount sdcard
If I try to mount the sdcard i get
Error mounting /sdcard!
Error mounting /efs!
Could someone please give a total idiots guide on how to rescue my phone please.
