Hello guys,this is my first post here so don't be tough with me
First of all some info:
Model:Galaxy SIII GT-I9300
ROM: Android Revolution HD 15.2
Kernel: Perseus 26.1
CWM: 6.0.1.2
I recently updated normally into ARHD 15.2 and everything was normal.But after I booted up into recovery mode I noticed that those lines were on the screen:
E: Can't open /cache/recovery/log
E: Can't open /cache/recovery/log
E: Can't open /cache/recovery/last_log
E: Can't open /cache/recovery/last_log
I searched and read many threads in order to find the best and the most suitable solution but I couldn't find anything helpful.The main problem in almost every thread was that the phone had a bootloop.Fortunately, I don't have that problem.My phone boots normally.I also tried to wipe cache partition and dalvik cache in order to find any more errors but nothing appeared and my phone booted normally updating android apps.I found the thread below but I don't know if I have to do all this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10878511&postcount=8311
So any help would be greatly appreciated.
Have you tried flashing cwm yourself with Odin? I know it probably comes with your ROM, but try flashing the latest cwm (same version you have, i'm sure) with odin
Let me know if that does anything.
Thanks for the reply mate
Last night I unmounted and mounted ext sd card again from inside the phone..Then I booted into recovery and everything was back to normal.I dont know what caused the problem though.

Lol that's weird.. Well at least your phone works now! What kind of micro sd u have? If it's the 64gb exfat, I know Cwm doesn't respond to that at all
I am using the same rom and had the same problem . It happened to me after i deleted the recovery log file on the external sd card

Hi
I'm facing the same issue: Can't open /cache/recovery...
I already tried flashing CWM Recovery(lastest version) using Heimdall(1.3.1, 1.3.2 and 1.4RC1) and didn't work.
When using the CMW that I aready have installed, if I try to install a CM10.1 it show me up as installed, but when booting I got the previous ROM screen and freeze screen of death.
Ideas?
On the cache problem, try the solution that worked for the OP, unmount the SD card and boot again.
On the ROM issue do a full wipe and flash a stock ROM via ODIN to get you back to a good starting point.
As with every situation, backup your efs partition first.

I installed cf root earlier..after I installed it it boots into recovery and says waiting for sdcard to mount(20)..(19)..(18).. etc.. but it fails.
Now when I go to install zip from sdcard it says E:can't mount /sdcard/
Any ideas?

Afaik Recovery cannot install from exFat, make sure the SDcard is formatted in any of the supported filesystems
(EXT2,EXT3,EXT4,FAT32 and possibly NTFS depending on kernel)
Cf-Cwm 1.5 works normally for me with a sandisk 6rgb sd formatted in exfat.

You cannot install zip from SD card if you dont have an external sd card
Try using the "choose zip from internal sdcard" as thats all you have.
Thank you lol, it must be the updated version of the recovery..the one I had before was just choose .zip from sdcard. That option works thanks
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
Yeah it should be
"Install zip" and within there there is "choose zip from SD card" and "Choose zip from internal SD card". Older versions of Recovery did not have the internal option. Although the version I got when I rooted did have, several weeks ago.
Yeah I was rooted a couple months ago but had to send off for a new phone..so cf obviously updated it and I didn't realise

Try /mnt/sdcard/ ?
I got around the same problem. I install a zip via internel SD card like you guys say and now my Galaxy S III won't turn on. It is just standing and loading.
I can go into download mode and recovery mode but in both mode I can't do anything because my phone can not mount SD card.

Which rom are you flashing?
Boot loops are often fixed by doing the following:
Go into recovery and do format system/factory reset, clear cache and then go advanced -> clear dilvac cache.

The same problem happened to me since the motherboard of my phone is replaced due to the failure of external SD card reader.
I have a Galaxy SL i9003 and previously I was able to flash any ROM on my phone via CWM recovery.
But since the motherboard of my phone has been replaced by Samsung Electronics, I'm unable to do so. /* The only advantage I got is the internal memory of my phone increased from 4GB to 16 GB.
But since then, I'm unable to flash any ROM. Whenever I try to do so, I get an error message in CWM recovery, "E: Error mounting SD card" or "E: can't mount SD card!". When I try to choose from external sd card, it again shows "E: Error moung SD card!".
I'm stuck.. please help..!
Any luck?

I think I too have similar problem. CWM says Error mounting SD card. Did you find any solution?
I don't know if anyone asked about this matter but I'm having this problem as of today. I'm on epinter's CM10 and I tried ATRICS by thehope using CWM. I didn't like the rom so I restored back to epinter's CM10. I tried to install CM7 or any GB and it went okay but when reboot my rom is still in CM10. I also flashed MIUI but failed to flash and said assert failed...status 7. I don't know what to do anymore...I tried flashing .sdf files but in no luck. Can someone help me please.
Copy CM7 zip in internal memory.
WIPE / FACTORY RESET
FORMAT /system
Wipe Dalvik Cache
Pull Out the SdCard form Slot Sdcard and then flash with CWM.
Do you try?

I also try the fix permission and it went smoothly.
Yes, I'm telling the truth, I'm using CWM recovery 5.0.2.0? I think that's the latest for atrix 4g.

Did you try to root the phone again?
Hello guys,
the site has been very helpful to me thus thank you all who contribute..
I had rooted my phone with CF-Root-SGS3-v6.4 and everything was ok. (Supersu, CWM) After that i have updated offical JB via kies and rooted the phone again in order to have CWM and supersu again. There was no problem with the the second root but when i enter the CWM it says;
"this version of CWM Manager should be used with CF-CWM V1.1 or newer. It appears you are running a different recovery. Variosuy feature have been disabled." I have flashed a newer version of CWM but the result was the same.
The backup menu that i had after first root was disapperared. When i tried to get backup via recovery mode is says "cant mount backup path" and i can not get backup...any help would be appreciated.
cwm app is not compatible with jb, boot into recovery with 3 button combo and all is normal
Thanks but when i boot into recovery mod and try to get backup, it says "cant mount backup path" is this because of no external sd card is installed ?

You are getting the error because you don't have an external sd card. Try using the "backup to internal sd card". That should help you I think.
Basically i went to flash a Rom in my phone, one of the requirements for the Rom was to format system. Not looking I, formatted SD card instead. Erasing my backup i had just made, and whipping the Rom that I was about to flash. So, what I need help with is seeing if anyone know a way to flash a Rom to my phone while in recovery, or is there a way to mount my SD Card memory while in Fastboot or recovery? I'm just looking to be able to flash any Rom in my phone to at least get it able to be used again.

twrp, i did have clockwork recovery at first but adb flashed twrp hopping they had a mount sd function
Okay, boot into twrp, then hit mount, then hit mount USB storage. Plug it into your PC and re-copy your rom of choice.

When i click mount, it only comes up with the option to mount system, mount data, and mount cache. Is there a newer version of twrp? The version i have is called Team Win Recovery Project v2.3.2.0
There should be a little box you can check towards the bottom of the screen

Hello
I have looked all over the internet and cant find a answer to my problem. I have a i9300 16 gb. with super nexus rom installed. I want to do a complete wipe with the scripts from here. I have transfered the files to my external sd cards but when i reboot into recovery mode it cant mount the external sd Card. I have tried formatting it to fat, fat32 and exfat non of it Works. I have noticed when i browse to the Card on the phone the sd Card is located at /storage/sdcard1/ and when it want to mount it writes /extarnal_sd/. Can that be the fault? if so how do i change the mount route.
No, external_sd is normal for recovery. No problem there.
EXFAT not really supported. Fat32 is best. You could always replace cwm with philz. Recovery. Its based on cwm but much better
