Hi,
sorry for this Topic, but i cant find with the Search any other Post with this Error i got.
I use the Notion-ROM and wanna Flash now the Dexter-ROM. But even when i try i got these Error Message:
--Install from sdcard--
Finding update package..
E:Cant mount /dev/block/mmcblk1p1
(Read-only file system)
E:cant mount SDCARD:update.zip
Installation aborted.
Formatting MISC...
And yes, i do a complete Factory Reset before.
Anybody has an Idea?
Thx in advise and sorry for my bad english...
- do you have update.zip on your sd card?
- did you extract the downloaded zip file first (foliomod13d.zip)? or did you rename it?
if you just renamed it, download it again and extract it, inside foliomod13d.zip is update.zip
Thx for ur answer.
And now i have to spend u a beer and run with my head on a wall...
It works!

Hi guys. I absolutely screwed up trying to install CWM to my player, and managed to get it stuck in download/recovery mode only. I somehow managed to install Steve's kernel, which at least gives me a more functional recovery (CWM), but I am still unable to get my player to run normally (I'll click reboot in CWM and it will reboot back to CWM). At the very least, I would like it to get back up and running again. I tried putting .zip files on an external sd card and installing them via CWM, but for whatever reason my player can't the .zips.
If anyone could help me flash back to a stock rom or something that would be fantastic. Thank you.
Edit: Just to clarify, my player is 4.0 USA. Also, many of the recovery files that have been posted here have been removed.

First of all download this stock recovery rom for the USA 4.0 found here (thank zalcimon please) http://www.mediafire.com/?aodm44hzan3jauo
Now you must install Samsung Kies on your PC to get the correct drivers. Then you must download and install odin found here:
http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=...IxHp1ISlP2fzGKhtw&sig2=ZjUHLCkIbG1_EprOk9enrA. After that you need to put the player into download mode, by first turning off the player completely and then to put it into download you must (Hold volume down and power).
Here's the fun step. Open up Odin and make sure only Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time are checked or YOU WILL BRICK YOUR DEVICE *THE HORROR*. Plug the Galaxy Player into the USB Port (while it's still in download mode) and Under ID:COM it should say something like 0:[COM4] and is yellow. Where it says message it should say "Added!!"
You have to now hit PDA and select the .md5 or .tar file(this is the recovery rom you downloaded early). Hit Start and it should take about 2-4 minutes to finish. If you get bootloops then you must turn off the player, and put it into the stock recovery. Hit wipe data/factory reset, and Wipe cache Partition.
Flashing a kernel is very easy when you use odin. Basically it's the same steps as flash a rom. All you have to do is hit PDA select steve s kernel (make sure it's the .tar file) and hit start. It should take about 10 seconds and you're done hope this helps.

Thanks for the reply. You're giving me a better idea of what exactly it is that I need to do.
Unfortunately, I already tried flashing the recovery rom in Odin, but it doesn't work because it's a zip file. I tried unzipping it in both WinRar and 7Zip, but all I get is a folder with several items in it. I can't properly flash back to stock because I don't have a stock .tar file.

Dang it lol. I have the .tar file, and I'm going to use a site called www.transferbigfiles.com that lets you email big files to people. However, the good thing is that they let you share links. Here it is https://www.transferbigfiles.com/dd8765db-edaf-4d58-a798-3d091429974c/hfVImIZm4TURWTX05abOQw2. Be warned though this will only be here for 5 days so download it in this time please.

I tried those, but obscuresword was correct in stating that the files linked aren't in .tar or .md5 format, and thus they can't be flashed with odin.
Anyways, I tried the file that obscure linked and I am still unable to get out of recovery. I basically get a bunch of red text every time I try to do something (like wipe data), and when I try to reboot it just reboots me into recovery once again. This is the same issue I was having earlier, so for the time being I have flashed an alternative kernel that at least has a recovery that is a little more functional. I still go back into recovery when I reboot though.

Wait do you re-partition when you do this? (with the odin I posted, not goldflame's one).

Hi there i recently upgraded to CM10.2 experimental and all worked fine. After playing around a bit i decided to go back to my CM10.1 rom and that went off without a hitch but my phone sat in the boot for over an hour so i decided to go into recovery and wipe my data when i was faced with (unable to mount /sdcard. I then checked in my log and this is what i found
Install from sdcard complete
minzip: Extracted file "/system/xbin/strace"
minzip: Extracted file "/system/xbin/su"
about to run program [/tmp/install/bin/persist.sh] with 2 args
cat: can't open '/temp/save/prop': no such file or directory
sed: -i requires an argument
script result was [/system]
Install from sdcard complete.
I:Can't partition non-vfat: datamedia
I:can't partition non-vfat: ext4
I:Can't format unknown volume: /emmc
W: failed to mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p12 (invalid argument)
I was going to install stock rom and recovery using odin but a friend said that it would make it worse. Any help will be appreciated... Thanks in advance
P.S i have been rooting for about 6 years and have had 4 phones and this has never happened

the problem is about the partition?
Probably the best flash samsung official rom via Odin, for your country

-- Installing: /sdcard/Rom.zip
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
E: Can't open /data/media/0/Rom.zip
(bad)
Installation aborted.
this happened to me after I delete all data from the phone doing a mega wipe with a zip file but my big problem is that after I could no longer install from sd and my only option to revive my phone was installed by the stock version odin but I do not like the stock so I want to install Cyanogenmod SlimKat or 11 M8 but I can not for the problem that gives me the recovery.
it gives me another error is also:
e: error mounting / system!
e: can not open sdcard
someone help me?
PS: try the 3 types of recovery as I know cwm, TWRP, and Philz but three recoverys not allow me to install any zip file

what is your s9+ version?, it appear in twrp?
I have the same Problem with S9 plus G965F.
It boots permanent in Samsung Logo repeated.
even can not flash stock Firmware via Odin in download modus.
Can anyone help me please?
Flash latest twrp 3.2.1-2. This mesage "Failed to mount '/cpefs' (Read-only file system)" is gone.
Doesn't cause any issue, but updating to 3.2.1-2 fixes it as well as slow restore from backup as seen by the changelog on XDA
i have updated mine to 3.2.3-1 but it doesnt fix the problem, i tried following a couple of guides in youtube like changing the file system from ext4 to ext2 but still no luck, it didnt even let me change the file system for Data
i was on Android P when i tried that, but right now i just went back to full stock P without TWRP because i'm stuck with formatting Data (the most important part to clear out the restriction)
Any solution? i'm facing same.
