I've been searching the internet up and down, and I haven't found an actual solution to the problem I'm currently having.
I just rooted my AT&T Galaxy S III earlier because I wanted to flash cyanogenmod 10 onto my phone. Admittedly, this was the first time I ever even tried rooting an Android device, and I think I messed up somewhere. I can access CWM, and I can get into download mode. When I go to turn the phone on, however, I get stuck on the Galaxy S III logo screen. Whenever I go into CWM and try to do well, just about anything, I keep getting one of two errors, "error mounting /sdcard!" or "E: Can't mount /sdcard/" I don't have an external sdcard on my phone, so the only sdcard I have is the internal one. Is there someway, anyway I can get my phone back into working order? Any help would be appreciated.
As per your post, You get stuck at Samsung galaxy s3 logo screen. It's called as bootloop.
Solution
1.Go to Recovery (CWM, if you have done everything right)
2.Wipe data/Factory reset.
3.Wipe chache.
4.Reboot.
If your phone starts & if you dont find your SD card(internal or external) , mount it manually through CWM.
Hope this solves your problem.

I've been trying to fix the mounting issue lately. I recently installed the new Nero v3 and thought it might fix the problem. But turns out it didn't, so I did a little research and found several ways. I tried the mounting_fix_vibrant22.zip file, it didn't work either. Then I read that many people had succeeded by simply formatting the sdcard. I boot in into recovery mode > mount and storage > format internal sdcard (I assume this is where I got it all wrong -_-). I reboot my phone after that and that's when the boot loop appears.
I tried to boot it into download mode to ODIN but it was a fail too, it just keeps looping with the "Galaxy Samsung" logo on there. I assume my phone is bricked at this point.
Any help would be appreciated.

pull your battery out...wait a few seconds....put it back in.....open Odin and plug your usb into your PC first...then hold both vol buttons while plugging in the usb...your phone should go into download mode
^^^ THANK YOU SO MUCH. I was scared for the longest time. lol.
haahaa,
fyi, you can go to menu settings > sdcard and phone storage
there you can unmount and format each.... move all important files to your pc first.
I would then power off, download mode, odin using my alt method in the noob guide, flash cwr, make a backup, flash nero v3, enable voodoo.
First of all, I would like to say hello, since I'm new on this forum!
So, to begin with, my problem is the following: I'm trying to install the CyanogenMod on my vodafone 858 smart. I followed the instructions on this forum:
-rooted my phone
-installed ROM Manager + Clockwork recovery
-in ROM Manager I selected Install ROM from SD card -> checked to make a backup, to wipe data and cache and to wipe dalvik cache
-phone rebooted into recovery mode -> could't see anything but the small hourglass
-waited for more then an hour, nothing changed, hourglass was still there
-took out battery, reinserted it, started phone and everything worked properly, but I still have 2.2 version of Android
-I tried to install CyanogenMod again, this time switching off my phone, and rebooting into recovery mode manually
-after rebooting into recovery mode, a message appeared, saying it is unpacking 1/2 (the process bar not moving anything not even after an hour) and below it states that the 'update has failed'
Could anyone please help me with this issue, I'd really like to upgrade my phone, but I can't seem to manage.
ps.: sorry if this has been asked, I couldn't find a similar thread.
Thank you!

Hi!
I tried to install android 4.1.2 for the first time for my Samsung Galaxy S (GTI-9000),
This is what i done so far:
1. Rooted the phone
2. Installed Clokwerk mode
3. Made a system backup
4. Wiped all data, wiped partition
5. Installed Android 4.1.2 (ParanoidAndroid)
6. Installed the WRONG GoogleApps. -> At this point i tried to remove them and i dont know really what happened because:
7. Now i cant reach the phone's sdcard. If i go in to the menu in recovery mode, to install a new rom, sdcard not found.
If i want to mount the usb storage, sdcrad not found. I cannot even connect via Kies, because sdcard just dead for some reason.
Now i have a phone that cannot boot, and cannot reach sdcard anyhow.
Please help me.
Anyobdy know how to bring back life to this piece of metal and plastic?
Hello everybody!
Well...Like the title says, my phone (HDC S4 galaxy legend) isnt responding at all. I was using my phone when a message told me that sd card was with errors and asked me if i want to fomat. I´ve selected yes and the nighmare starts... Now when i power on the phone shows the logo and get stucks there... well, i thought that maybe recovey will fix this.. i have entered recovery and the first warnings appeared "e: cant mount sd card". I have tried format all the options, make wipes and stills appears message e: cant mount emmc or e: cant mount cache... i have tried to install the stock rom from the sd card and apparently shows that is installing, but then reboots and it get stuck in logo screen again. Another thing is that when i connect the phone to my pc, it doesnt recognize it, not even my PC make a sound when i connect the phone. I have tried to reflash with flash tools but it doesnt work cause the phone is not detected, is like a brick.. well.. then i have tried to make partition from cwm and nothing works and it doesnt installs the rom.
Now i can only access to recovey but nothing else, please someone help me :crying: :crying:
No one can help?
No one can help?
I have detected the problem. My internal card is bad formated, because it says can't mount emmc / data .... i have tried whith aroma wiper but i still cant recover the original partition (ext4). Someone have a tool to get back to my old partition????
Hello, I was trying to reset my tab completely and I wiped EVERYTHING. I have CWM version 6.0.1.0, My tab gets stuck on Samsung logo screen. It can go into recovery but nothing else. I was told that the reason it won't boot is because I deleted the rom and there is no rom for it to go to. When I try to mount it, it doesn't show up...I've tried to install CWM 6.0.4.6 zip from external SD but installation gets aborted. PLEASE HELP I NEED MY TAB BACK ! Also it shows charging when it's turned completely off...

When you say mount it do you mean trying to send the files over through ADB or just mounting the SD card or putting it into download mode?
If its the ADB issue, try to put your tablet into download mode by using the volume key and power button, then download odin and its stock firmware and flash it using odin. Your tablet should restore to factory defaults using that method
If its the SD card then use the method above as it sounds like recovery may have lost it a bit
If you can not put the phone into download mode (which i doubt is the issue you may want to think about a USB jig as they sometimes get past those issues but from your description I doubt its a hard brick as it gets to the logo
2 things you can try!

I really new to this, i mean writing to help people, so don't flock me.
First, you say your device still have the recharging lights on when shut down, it tells me it's not only a software error, but some short circuit has happend.
Have you tried a hardreset? search google for your model if you doesn't know how.
From what i can read you still have the CWM Recovery, so download Android-SDK and try flashing the recovery from ADB (Found in platform tools.
Last but most tricky, if nothing helps, you' have to disassemble your device and temporary disable the battery, them press and hold the start button down for 5 sec to remove the poweroverload, reassemble again and try ASB adain, you can't reinstall the recovery directly from the SD
