[Q] error mounting /data! - Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi Guys,
After some misreading on the installation guideline for a standard ROM from samfirmware (the 4.0.4 for Poland) I have ended up in error "error mounting /data!". I have installed the CWM 9 and when trying to mount "/data" I'm getting this error. I have tried to install different version of rom's 3.2 or 4.0.4 and I still can get my device to boot up (P7500).
Any advice will be very appreciated :crying:
Thanks

I had the same thing, I was on the 4.1.1 Jelly Bean Rom for the past few weeks and all the sudden I was stuck with a tablet that wouldn't boot. When I went in to recovery it was the same thing couldn't mount /data or format it. Tried doing a backup and it failed at /data, tried a restore same thing. The only way I finally got my tablet to actually boot again was to follow the instructions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1730470 it took me back to stock ICS but at least I am working and can go forward from here.

Please someone help me!

Requesting assistance - I broke my phone :(

I have a GT-I9100M from Bell in Canada. My phone is broke and I've spent the last 24 hours trying to fix it with no avail
I was running the stock ICS rom from Bell. I rooted the phone and removed all the Bell bloatware and that was it.
Yesterday I came across a Rom that had the S3 version of Touchwiz so I decided to try it out - Salman ICS ROM for Galaxy S2 i9100! [TouchWiz UX][S Voice][GS3 ROM]
The rom installed perfectly and when it restarted, it stopped at the Samsung Galaxy boot screen. I attempted to go into recovery mode and it couldn't.
It would go into download mode. So I tried to flash the stock bell ICS rom - I9100MUGLD3_I9100MBMCLD3_BMC_www.samsdroid.com. It flashed with no issues but when it rebooted - back to the boot screen I go.
I flashed a CF kernal so that I could get into CWM and attempt to wipe it. It kept hanging on formatting /data.
I came across this guide - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1449771 and followed the steps and got no where.
Is my phone completely dead and if it is not - how do I get it back in working condition?
Help!!:crying:
When you flashed Bell's stock ROM from the guide thread, could you reach the recovery mode screen? I had the same problem and I simply did a factory reset after I flashed the stock ROM.
After I tried to flash my stock firmware with ODIN
I get stuck at Android System Recovery <3e>
and get these errors:
E: failed to mount /cache (no such file or directory)
E: Cant mount /cache/recovery/recovery_kernel_log
E:copy_kernel_file :: Cant open /cache/recovery/recovery_kernel_log
E:failed to mount /efs (No such file or Directory)
E:failed to mount /cache (no such file or directory)
E:cant mount /cache/recovery log
E:cant open /cache/recovery log
and as you can imagine the list goes on..... and when I hit reboot system now - it just freezes at the Samsung i9100 boot screen.
AAARRGGG
I did some more reading and someone suggested trying a Frankenstein rom KK5 as it does a complete wipe of the data partition on the phone. When I tried this, it does stuck on datafs.
I believe that my phone is broken

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
looks like you have hit the eMMC brick, you could try to flash a pit file, and flashing it with repartition activated... This its the only thing you could try, before sending it off for repair

try to find a Stock ICS which does a full wipe. Usually the first edition of stock ICS
of each region does that.
Dear friend i understand your fear and i wan t to share with you my research, my trouble came for downgrading from ics to GB and now i have the red letters with the e cant mount **** , so i found that installing this rom (XXKH3) with the Phone Bootloader Update filed checked could fix it.
The original post is in spanish so if you need it it is here.
Scroll down until ERROR: E: Can't mount cache

But on this post the link to XXKH3 is broken so i found this other link on english with the link working
http://www.theandroidsoul.com/how-to-install-xxkh3-on-samsung-galaxy-s-2-ii-i9100/
I'll try this thing in a couple hours when the download finish due to my 1.5 mb internet and i'll let you know any new,
Good luck

[Q] Bricked S2 after installing 2.3.4

Hello
I had installed CM 11 4.4 on my Galaxy S2. Today I decided to downgrade it to 2.3.x so I used Odin and took stock 2.3.4 ROM with PIT/PDA/PHONE/CSC.
At the installation , there was a error in the phone - data 0 error (or something like that, I didnt remember). After the installation process in Odin, the phone stuck at Samsung logo. I can go into the Download Mode. Now I cant flash any ROM because I have errors in Odin. I tried to use the OneClick tool but it dont work. Its my first phone brick so idk what should I do. Please help
This is a error after I flashed 2.3.4 :
E:failed to mount /data (Unknown error:0) E: install_application_for_customer:Cant mount / data your storage not prepared yet, please UI menu for format nad reboot actions, copy application failed
I repaired this error but I still cant boot into the phone menu. It stuck at the boot Samsung logo. Wipe data/cache is not the fix. I tried different ROMs and kernels.

Samsung galaxy s3 mini - stuck in recovery

Hi I have tried to flash CM 12.1 to my S3 mini, so i downloaded ROM, did backup (but it went wrong, i think it didnt fully back up) and wipe cache, data and davik. After that i wanted to flash my ROM, but error appeared, that Installation aborted. So I tried to restore backup but it said "MD5 mismatch" and if I try to reboot It goes to recovery mode everytime. I read that flashing rom can be aborted because of old CMW ( I have v6.0.2.7 ) and if you get the newest, installation is ok, but what can I do? I cannot go to normal boot to Android and if I connect my phone to PC it reacts, but as unknown device and I cant open storage of my phone, so I cant update CMW recovery to flash my ROM.
EDIT: Now i get into ADB and sideload, everything going well but when I tried to install rom it said * failed to write data 'protocol fault (couldn't read status): Invalid argument' *
*Bump* i have the same problem..... not getting any where with this can some one help me out ....
SOLVED! I flashed stock official samsung ROM throught ODIN and after I used TWRP recovery instead of CWM and flashed CM 12.1 .

Running in download from sd card - invalid signature
Running on Toolkit - aosp5.0_golden.nova.20141106.zip "failed to write data protocol fault(couldn't read status): Invalid argument
Any help would be greatly appreciated
