ERROR: can't mount /sdcard, on recovery - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi.
Im having a problem since I bought my S2.
i cant make my external sdcard work in recovery on my s2. Im running RootBox 3.0 Jelly bean now but this hasnt worked even in ICS.
Whenever I try to flash something from external sdcard on my phone in cwm recovery it says "Error mounting /sdcard" or even when trying to just mount /sdcard it gives me this error.
I can acces my sdcard from PC or from phone, it just doesnt work in recovery.
Id like to know how to fix this.

[Q] /data is encrypted, so CWM can't mount /sdcard from zip installing

Hi!
I used to run CyanogenMod 9.1 with device encryption on my Galaxy S3, and decided today that I wanted to try a CM 10 nightly.
A problem with device encryption that I didn't know about before is that it's impossible to turn off. ClockworkMod Recovery (5.8.4.3) can't mount the /data partition (and, by extension, /sdcard). This means that I can't use CWM to factory reset or install a new update.zip, since the update.zip must lie on the internal sdcard.
Trying "choose zip from sdcard" gives "E:Can't mount /sdcard/" and choosing "apply /sdcard/update.zip" gives "E:Can't mount /sdcard/update.zip". This happens even if I've used adb to put the update.zip in the /sdcard mountpoint.
Factory resetting from CWM gives these two errors: "Error mounting /data!" and "Error mounting /sdcard/.android_secure!". Factory resetting from CM9 didn't work. I've since tried to flash CM10 with MobileOdin, which didn't work, and now I can only boot to CWM.
Does anyone have any idea about how I could mount /data or otherwise get a working ROM? I've taken backups of everything.
TL;DR: S3 only boots to CWM, but CWM won't mount /data and so can't flash zips.
I have the exact smae problem. i hope someone knows how to fix!!

[Q] Internal SC card problems HELP PLEASE

I have got a major issue go with my S3. I had lost my IMEI number but managed to get it back then over night it mysteriously vanished again. SO I went to install a back from nandroid...this is when it went wrong.
I went into philz and formatted everything.....and this is where i think i borked the internal memory.
I have since tried to
Install Omega v58 and it just sticks on on the start up omega droid walking.
Install stock ROM via Odin but it just hangs on the Samsung logo.
I have rerooted the phone but when i go into CWM to try to apply update zip ( as i read somewhere else to do ) i get the following
E: can't mount /sdcard/update.sip
if I try to chose zip from sdcard i get the following
E: can;t mount sdcard
If I try to mount the sdcard i get
Error mounting /sdcard!
Error mounting /efs!
Could someone please give a total idiots guide on how to rescue my phone please.

[Q] Galaxy S2 - i9100 - CWM Loop - Error mounting /sdcard

Hi Guys,
I have a big problem. Today I decided to install a CM ROM on my unlocked Galaxy S2 i9100. But was the worst decision ever.
First of all, I used this guide here to Root my S2 running Android 4.1.2. All went good, and it's rooted and with CWM 6.0.2.7.
Then I uploaded the zip file that contains the CM ROM to my phone and entered recovery mode. After that I used "Wipe Data/Factory Reset" but obtained this error:
Error mounting /sdcard/.android_secure!
Skipping format...
And now, the worst part is that when I Power Off and then Power On my Galaxy S2 normally, it doesn't boot correctly and goes to CWM Recovery Mode.
Just don't know what to do.
Note: I don't have external Micro SD card. I just use my phone as it came from the store. So the problem must be the internal sd card.
Can anyone help me? Did I brick my phone?

I know, may be it's too late, but for other people can be usefull for this error.
I installed CM 12 on my S2, after that I extended the internal memory using PIT files with ODIN (backup required). After ODIN, I got 6G on my system but the other 6G was missing (S2 with 12G), no sdcard0 appeared on my S2. In recovery mode, I tried to format, wipe, clean, but always the same error "Error mounting /sdcard/.android_secure!" after 4 tries, I decided to format my sdcard0 with ext4 format, and then reformat again with default type, and after that the sdcard0 works fine.
That's all, S2 like new with CM12 and 6G to install apps!
