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

After using Odin, I have this problem
'E:Can't mount /Cache/recovery/log
E:Can't open /Cache/recovery/log....'
Then I wipe it. It is success.
But when I choose zip from sdcard
It said E:can't mount /sdcard/
How can I solve it?
I can't boot my gs2 now!
Answer me please
Just try to reflash with odin most of the times this solves the problem.
if not try another firmware (rom)

I can't boot and can't read my internal sd, how can I flash another rom?
Using CWM, you can mount /sdcard.
Check mounts and storage menu.
Also try "Mount Usb storage", connect to pc and check if comp detects your phone.

E:Unable to write to ums lunfile(No such file or directory)
Try flashing one of the rooted kernels using Odin.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
Currentlyhaving the same issue.
This is a kernel issue. It happened to one of the 2.x Siyahkernel beta versions. Simplest solution is to boot the phone and use CWM to flash a different kernel using the tar format (instead of the zip format good for use in recovery mode) (flash a kernel version that's known to be without this problem).
If you can't get past the boot screen, just use odin. But then if you can't get past the boot screen you probably need to flash a ROM over anyway.
I am having the same issue with my internal SDCARD
I cannot access my internal SDCARD. When I insert my external (/removeable) sdcard, recovery sees that as the SDCARD.
I have tried to mount/ dismount/ usmount the internal SDCARD - same error.
THIS is the TMOBILE T989 and we got it yesterday - brand new.
So, I did get it to work from the removeble SDCARD, but I am so use to using the internal SDCARD on my VIBRANT as the primary resource for ROMS, etc, and the external SDCARD as a backup - that it is kinda strange to work now with only one SDCARD (the ext).
It must be something in the recovery that does not see the primary SDCARD...
CAn anyone help, please?
Note that CWM 4 and CWM 5 behave differently with respect to internal and external sd cards (well CWM 4 simply doesn't do external sd card). It'd be your best interest to flash a kernel that comes with a CWM version 4.x.x and for sure internal sdcard will work.
In CWM4, internal sdcard is /sdcard. External card is /emmc. (you can only format external sdcard but not write to it nor mount it.
In CWM5, you can restore nandroid backup from internal sdcard (but you can flash updates from both) . And in the CWM app, default backup location is the external sdcard.
Those who are having problems with CWM 5, flash this version of CWM from your CWM!

You will have cwm 4.
Hye everyone, my name is toby and I have a question..
Long a go after I bought sgs2 I try to remember, I think I've formatted this phone once using my laptop via usb. I plugged the phone, right click on my computer and format, I think it was NTFS file system. do you guys think this will have impact on the phone performance r/w or ROM? or will the sd partition won't work at all?
I'm asking this because I have installed ROM's and It lag and crashed a few times.. I think maybe this two connected.
Thank you..
p/s:f5,f5,f5,f5 waiting for some rom to update.
Yes the two are likely to be connected. If you formatted your sdcard as ntfs then I would presume that it is using the ntfs support in the Linux kernel to access it. However, NTFS is not a light fs, it is intended for heavy duty file work, and definately not suited for mobile devices. I'm not surprised it's causing your phone to lag.
I suggest you enter your phone's recovery mode and reformat your /sdcard partition, and if you have CWM just to be sure, do a full factory wipe, and format ALL partitions in the advanced section.
So...

So... everytime I wipe cache partition in cwm recovery mode, it reformat my /sdcard? so, I have nothing to worry right, because I always do the 4 steps of cleaning before installing, sorry, flashing new rom.
No. Wiping the cache does exactly that, wipes the cache. If you do wipe the cache, you'll find the first boot after you do it will take a bit longer than normal while the cache is rebuilt.
If you want to format your /sdcard, you need to go into mounts & storage in CWM.

Need Help with cwm
Hye, I can't find format /sdcard option in cwm Mounts & Storage Menu..
only have this formatting option:
format cache, system, data, secondrom_cache, secondrom_data, secondrom_system, external storage, internal storage.
and I can't mount /sdcard it say Error mounting /sdcard!
I am using CWMR Touch 5.5.0.4 btw.
P/S:Im not using any external mmc.
I've been playing with custom ROM and whatnot. I put the stock ROM on internal SD but somehow it got wiped off so I don't see it there. I was using Samsung Galaxy S3 Toolkit - rooting ALLINONE, and something happened so I cannot boot the phone now. I can access CWM mode, but I do not see any ROMs in internal SD, so there is nothing I can re-flash to see if the phone will boot normally. So basically I am stuck in a situation when I can access CWM but I cannot flash a ROM since I have no ROM on internal SD. So my question is, is there a way I can mount the phone as a USB device so that I can copy the ROM zip from my PC into internal SD so I can re-flash a ROM and fix the issue?
Any help is much appreciated!
Flash Stock with Odin and Re-Root.
Go to cwm, mount and storage, mount USB

Thanks, but there is no such option there. What is there, is:
mount /efs
mount /cache
mount /data
mount /preload
mount /sdcard
mount /external_sd

Thanks, since the phone gets stuck at root I cannot use Odin to flash a ROM onto it - I simply cannot get to the point I can see the phone in the PC. This is my gripe precisely - how to make the phone to be seen by the PC (as a USB device or otherwise) so I can copy a ROM onto it and then flash using CWM.

AFAIK it is not possible to mount USB storage from CWM..it is the way samsung had created mount point sin this phone...you have 2 options
1. take your extcard use a card reader or another phone, copy the ROM and then use it
2.Find your original firmware, boot in download mode and flash via Odin

1. I thought so. I have a small micro-sd from my old BB and so checked and I can mount it, so that'd be a solution, only I'd have to go out and buy a new one. I have no plans/intentions to buy a new sd card so that was sup-optimal.
2. Awesome suggestion! Thanks for redcore2k as well - I did not figure from his response that I needed to go into Download mode.
All back to normal now, will be re-rooting shortly. You guys are awesome!

Try installing a zip from the internal card, see if it mounts or not, may need to reload via a stock ruu to repartition the system.
the problem is that I am with videotron and the RUU is a .exe can I do it with the .exe or I have to flash an other files?
and yes I can flash roms but I dont have the folders android.secure in my sdcard
Connect your phone to comp via USB and it'll show u external in folder and internal it will ask u to format you'll lose everything but it will work after that. Don't format through phone always screws up

I installed the cyanogenmod 11. Wiped data/factory reset and formated sdcard. Now it doesn´t let me mount the sdcard. The phone functions well, except that it does not read the sdcard. What can i do?
On CWM recovery it marks me: Error mounting /storage/sdcard1!
I appreciate your help.

insert it on a computer and format it again to fat32 (if space < 32gb and you don't have files bigger than 2gb) or exfat.
alternatively you can aslo flash philz touch recovery and format it there again.
