I get an error when I try to restore a backup from CWM (locked bootloader). I want to install the Rom Dualcore which is not a flasheable .zip, but is a cwm backup so I have to restore it
When I click on restore I get this...:
Checking MD5 sums...
Restoring system...
E:format_volume: make_extf4fs failed on /dev/block/mmcblk0p12
Error while formatting /system!
then stuck at sony logo
please any idea¿? THANKS!
Use advanced kernel 14 as apparently the restore is fixed in it

Nop, I have locked bootloader so I cant change kernel
Thanks anyway, still here

Flash stock firmwarw with flashtool

Yep I flash it and I repeat the root + recovery process, but I would want to try that Rom, dont you know which could be the problem?
unlock the bootloader would be one solution.
Actually it has worked for many people with locked bootloader

ok i am stuck at the samsung boot screen, but nothing works ( i mean i have CWM and ODIN) but when i flash it just gets stuck ( not during flashing but at the samsung screen where it is blue and white, also the blue LED in on at the top)! also it has not booted long enough for adb to work so i cant pull a logcat
also i cant restore a nandroid because every time it tries to restore data it says error restoring /data!
to anyone who is rooted, can you go to /dev/block/by name/ scroll down and tell me what the last one was (sprint) ( i dont remember the name of the folder but there should be two and one of them is about name and the other a about number)

What do you mean you need a pit file??
Didn't you have one to begin with?
What exactly did you Odin then?
What carrier are you with?
On my S2 when I brought it back to stock after using Odin it got stuck on the Samsung logo.
I had to go to stock recovery and do a factory reset and that helped.
It booted after that.
Try it.

I'm very sorry for what happened to you, but please update your "format all" thread to warn people, as that seems to be the cause.

In the ZIP file (Meta-inf -> com -> Google -> Android) there is a file updater-script, you need to edit this file with notepad or similar. You need to get rid of the first line which has lots of "props" , so the first thing that stays there is : package_extract_file blabla

ive tried the xrecovery but i got the same error message. but i cant install any rom with 4.0 :/
i write down what i already did, cuz i might forgot something,
first i unlocked the bootloader as i said then
i flashed the kernel with flashtool, then
i did a full wipe and then try to flash the rom.
Try this?
If you have unlocked Bootloader (Checked through S1tool that you have unlocked bootloader, and have such flashing errors, try this
1.Try flash KCernel V3 here via flashtool since got multiple recoveries. You will get KCernel Logo shows once powered on.
2.Got Backed Up Locked Bootloader stock ROM data? Restore it back from similar xrecovery you used, compared to Kcernel's
3.You will get bootanimation of your previous ROM, bootloop, so won't get homescreen reached.
4.Take Off battery for few seconds, and then power it on
5.Get back to CWM Recovery and make full wipe, clear dalvik cache:
6.Flash your 4.0 ROM zip
7.Should work normally...
I tried before and worked Just share my little past experience though I'm now in AOKP ICS. Hope helps

Ok thanks for everybody now its working fine i flashed the stock 2.3.3 rom then root my phone again and then flash the kernel and the rom so its all good

Hi!
I have been a happy owner of a Live With Walkman for over a year now. I had the 4.0.4 update and everything.
Several times i have tried flashing custom ROMS ending with a bootloop, ALWAYS. And when i mean several, it 10+ times i have tried.
I have a locked bootloader with no unlocking option, kernel 1.6.32.9-perf (stock obviously), build number 4.1.B.0.587.
I have always selected ROMS that can be installed in locked bootloaders (like Real ICS) but always ended in a bootloop. Following always the instructions.
Please help me and tell me what i'm doing wrong. Is it the kernel? Maybe a faulty SD Card (wich i really doubt because i can use it without problem)?
And is there any ROM that's been proved that works with locked bootloader, stock kernel always? I prefer a ROM without sony customization. Just plain android ICS. Sorry if this annoys you and probably you'll tell me to search for a ROM and try. The problem is that i don't trust a lot if it says for locked bootloader and i want a ROM that a user can prove that works and how did he installed it.
Thanks a lot!
Sure you've formatted the whole system and data in mount and storage , and cache?
i ever facing this problem when i was first installing cust rom for my xperia mini,
i was forgot to format the system and data which is not required on my prev device (Xperia X8).
I guess this is the error.
U have installed a recovery mode to your device with locked bl. That means u have installed it to the system partition. When u flash a rom, it wipes your system partition. So flashing process may go with errors.( because the needed files are not present in the device anymore) As a result u may end up with a bootloop and u can't even go back to the recovery mode.
unlock bootloader and flash a kernel that have a recovery mode (it's getting installed to your boot partition). so it won't get wiped by a rom flash.

AW: [Q] Hard time flashing ROM (LwW/WT19)
have tried a rom for locked bootloader which is provided as a backup file for cwm? or have you only flashed .zip files?

Is there any ROM that haves this method? do you have any links?
There are many roms with option locked bl in Aroma, but I don't know why you are getting this error.
Try to use one of Sandy7's roms, hope things will be okay.
Good luck

Hello people,
I havevthe same problem, and would like to add another input:
A cwm backup restore also results on bootloop.
Basically, stock rom is rooted, cwm is installed... But after that no new roms can be flashed.
Tried doing 3 wipes+format/system and just 3 wipes, the result is the same: bootloop with no acess to cwm :|

You are wrong. If he doesn't tick repartition and doesn't use pit file. His mobile will not be correctly partitioned according to partition table.
Help me too
Help me out.. My friend's ace with this same model too is suffering from the same problem. I was the one who tried to wake it up after the hard brick. I repartitioned and flashed the stock firmware through odin, flash was successful. But the error mounting data appears and the device stucks on bootloop. Also i saw something like unable to move data_recovery_log.
I usually come across mount data errors after flashing stock firmwares in my Galaxy Y duos (s6102) but for us it is known that it would be resolved with a stock data wipe.But that too failed in this case. I am not familiar to the repartitioning things..
please help me
i have galaxy s3 I9300 and it went into a boot loop! I installed new roms but it is usless
I have tried formating, clearing cache, tried restoring my last backup. Still boot looping

i have backed up me efs before. its name is efs.img and its size is about 20 mb the problem is how to restore it
i used efs professional but it needs ' usb debugging ' so it failed to restore it .
i tried Unified_Android_Toolkit_v1.2.8 but it needs ' usb debugging ' also .
i tried the file in this post
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2331853
