I just returned my phone to stock using ODIN and Entropy's method. I was previously running SHOStock3v.1.3.5 and was having problems creating a viable backup via CWM; not sure why, I've backed up many times before. What changed recently is that I set the default backup format to "TAR" from "DUP" as mentioned here. After that, my backups went from around 17MB to 1.6GB. At some point, possibly even with that first backup, the process would hang while generating the .md5. I left it for about 1.5 hours one time and still it wouldn't finish; I got around this by holding the power button to reboot. I reset the default format back to "DUP" and my backup size went back to about 17MB, but still wouldn't finish generating the .md5. All of these backups seemed to be causing System Media Storage some severe heartburn, filling up the internal memory. Deleting the backups solved this issue, but I was left with a phone that I could not backup.
Finally, this morning I (regrettably) used ROM Manager to try backing up, not having seen the numerous posts about never using ROM Manager. So my phone became a brick, stuck in a bootloop at the Samsung logo. So now I'm at the point where I've returned the phone to stock w/root as mentioned above. I've also reflashed recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.3-galaxys2att.tar via ODIN. BUT, when I try to flash a new ROM I get an error message saying "E:Can't mount /emmc/".
I've looked at some similar threads like this one and this one, but they don't seem to contain the answers I need. I am about to attempt to wipe the sdcard using the dialer code *2767*3855# found in this post. Before I do that I want to verify that there isn't something less drastic that I could try first. Anybody know what's going on?
Eh sounds like you may have gotten the emmc brick.

Yuck. I did some research on that and it sounds mostly like what I've got (I have the ICS kernel - version 2.6.35.7). The difference between my situation and the one in a post I found is that my phone boots and acts normal, for the most part. I ran GotBrickbug? v1.2 and it verified that my eMMC chip is known to have the bug. I found a discussion thread for the Epic 4G on the subject which points to this fix, but it seems to be for those whose phones are really bricked... mine is not, do you have any suggestions on what I might try?
Well, the problem that caused it was in Samsung kernel source for ICS. Flash a custom kernel known not to have it and see what you get afterwards. Also, DO NOT do any memory wipes while on the stock kernel because then you will for sure get the bug, that's what causes it.

I resolved my issue, though it wasn't what I thought out was. For some reason when I selected "Choose zip from internal sdcard", CWM was trying to access the external sdcard, which I had pulled. The opposite was true as well. If my external card was in its slot I would have realized the switch around right away. My phone its back in business, I now have SHOstock3 installed and it's running just fine. Thanks for the help, really glad my emmc wasn't mangled!

So if want to solve this problem, you must have one external SD card which conten Zip file. Right?

Not necessarily. You can put the zip file on the internal card, then you have to choose external card from within CWM. You may have to have an external card installed for that option to show up though. Or, if you put the zip on the external card, then you choose internal in CWM.

So I'm running JT's vanilla Gingerbread. And after a day my SD card is not showing to be inserted thru gallery or if I try to download to. However I can play my music find ringtones on the card view pictures thru other apps and when I go to storage under setting it say card mounted and shows memory. Also something else weird is I can't delete anything from the card. Not really sure what's the problem and could use some advice Thx. (update) So two days now I've realized the problem has nothing to do with the SD card it self, everything is still there and I can do back ups from it as well as export contacts and flash in recovery. The problem seems to be somewhere in the rom. Gallery show a message "Sd unmount or not present" as well as I can't delete anything from the card thru the phone. Root explorer says it's deleted but it's not, every other way I try I get a "file can't be deleted" message. I can view pictures and video thru astro just not thru gallery. So I'm thinking this is not a wiped or fried Sd card issue but something with thew rom, I'll try flashing powerwashed rom and see if the problem continues and update.
If your running anything gingerbread expect your sd card to get wiped, do a backup asap.
Keep me Fascinated.

So my problem continued next i was getting the status 7 code about recovery can't mont so here's what i did. Go to the how to go back to stock thread and follow the directions. Odin the CWR v4.

Hi,
I'm new and though I've watched the noob video I hope I'm in the right place, if not please dont get angry ><.
2 days ago I've flashed into stock rom for my SG3 (GT-i9300) back from my RGUI v5 Build number: MIUI-2.8.3 IMM76D / Kernal version: 3.0.38-Siyah-s3-v1.3.9c
Ask me why? because I've had some issues trying to install official MIUI v4 from the international website and always I get error: "Status 7" with a dead android inside. (Again, Why ? because I as hoping it would make my SG3 even smoother... more responsive)
So I though perhaps flashing it from a stock rom might work, so I used Odin and everything went fine, again ofcourse I got the error and went back to CWM to restore the backup i've made before flashing anything, I dont really mind about the error right now, I've seen similar posts about it and I shall continue investigating it, What's more important is on the next phrase.
Today I found out that all my photos were deleted, after restoring my RGUI v5 rom 2 days ago ofcourse....
I'm not sure how could the situation get any better though I remember previously flashing rom's that the SD card never being touched and I guess I was wrong.
What I wanted to ask is, I just got more CWM backup files on my external SD, does anyone knows if CWM backup restores user data aswell or should I just give up ?
Helpfull tips of how to restore it could be usefull (Oh lord, please spare me I beg you, I'll pray more).
Thanks in advance.
I've flashed hundreds of times on S1, S2 and now S3 and never lost any data or photos that are on either the internal or external sd cards.

Sorry, but this is a "Well Duh..." moment.... Flashing any stock rom through ODIN will always wipe the data partition on the internal sd card. You need to backup the internal stuff onto your PC. Only a stock firmware that has been modded will allow a non-wipe flash and you usually need to be rooted as it is no longer a stock rom.
You should be able to restore a nandroid backup of a stock rom too without wiping the internal sd card as this is only putting the system data back onto your phone...

I wouldn't sweat it. I've had this issue as long as I can remember flashing on my note (a whole two months) and it hasn't caused any issues that I've noticed. If it's a good release, mine works the same as everyone's. Same with a buggy release, same bugs as everyone else. The sd-ext issue when formatting dalvik cache hasn't caused any (extra) bugs for me.

I did try to fix permissions, and it said it succeeded, but still hasn't resolved the problem.
I'm not sure if it's an issue per se, based on one of the above posters. But it is annoying none-the-less, so if someone knows a way to fix this I'd be much obliged.

The best way I can think of twrp is its cwm except for a lot more functionality with a more friendly user interface. You can flash it via goo manager app in play store which will overwrite your cwm as your active recovery.
As far as the card is concerned, I would start by...
Backing up w/e before starting
Plug into PC via in phone or memory card reader. All that is important is that your PC can see it.
Use the windows built in diskpart utility to clean it partition it and format it.
Let me know if you need the diskpart syntax, its from command line.

I assume that doing this will leave CWM so that I can re-install CM10?
Is CWM stored on some other storage then internal storage? Some other memory chip or something?
I'm having this issue with CWM too, it's kind of driving me nuts cause it used to see both cards just fine before, and I don't like filling up my internal card with all my roms & radios. I'm kind of scared to use TWRP again though after what happened with my GSII. In short- I have reason to believe TWRP bricked my phone. I had just gotten my Note & was getting my GSII ready to sell(clearing data, formatting storage, etc). I booted into TWRP(which I'd been using for months, so it wasn't user error) & did a factory reset there too just to be safe. It seemed to work fine & gave me the "rebooting" message, and then.... nothing. Black screen. No boot, no recovery, no download mode, no signs of life whatsoever. I had to send it to Samsung to be fixed.
Now, it could have just been coincidental timing, but I'm now understandably hesitant to use TWRP again. Has this happened to anyone else? Sorry to hijack the thread.

Ok dude I think I know what's going on, then outlook doesn't look too bright either. It looks like your internal sd became corrupted and now it can't mount. So back up your internal sd, reformat, and put your stuff back in and see if it helps.
If that doesn't help I guess you just had a bad luck Brian moment. This internal sd problem happened to me twice already.
For the wifi error, that's probably because you dirty flashed ARHD over a perfectly fond ARHD. You should have just airplane mod'd it for a while or rebooted. When you wipe the cache don't dirty flash the entire rom for one simple problem. When you reboot after you wipe the cache, it just takes a minute to rebuild the 'blocks. '

Ok the way to format the internal sd is in 4ext. I remember it being somewhere in the wipe section. Choose format sd then internal sd.
Here's a tip when flashing, use format all partitions except sd. This is better than wiping cache then dalvik then data. This method clears of everything but it doesn't touch your sd. This is how to comoletely clean install roms without errors in flashing.
And if after you flash it and see no bars, T-mobile is probably having a bad connection or doing renovations to their towers or something.

I then tried to flash the Sense 5 port which failed. I tried to restore a backup and it failed. And now my sdcard/internal is not mounting so I'm at a complete loss. Any ideas on how I could get my phone back to a functional state?
At least it isn't 'bricked' if you can still get to recovery which is good. Bricked is 100% dead which yours doesn't sound like it is. If you are able to get to recovery, are you jus notable to get to the external SD? Can you access the SD directly from a PC? If so, maybe copy what you can, format and copy back..try to mount again..

If you're on Hboot 1.12 or you're S-off you can disregard flashing the boot.img (kernel) separately.
I've never run across the issue where storage wouldn't mount, but the fix posted in the thread above seems to have worked for at least one person. Just make sure you back everything up to your computer before you start formatting anything.

Honestly, I've never run across the problem myself but I see it fairly regularly in these forums. I don't know what causes it, either. It's at least part of the reason I keep things like TWRP backups, ROM's, photos and so on stored on my external SD card. If there is ever an issue I can remove the card from my phone and copy files over to my computer, if the need arises (I also keep at least one recent Nandroid on my computer in case I run into problems along the way).

This is great advice and good practice^
The Thanks button is just to avoid "THANKS" posts in threads. Nothing more. Don't defeat the purpose of why it was introduced.
