I finaly managed to get it into download mode and flashed a stock Samsung ROM using ODIN, after ODIN has flash then phone restarts and on the next screen that is pretty quick I some of the following
something that mentions CSC
Failed to mount /data rebooting
I tried to go into the recovery mode to clear the data (factory reset) and i get failed to mount /data.

Don't use Rz, flash with odin again and flash E3 recovery kernel or hell-locks kernel

Hi everyone,
I've installed ICS domination theme on my SGS2 with litening rom 6.1 installed on it.
After the installation, i've got a boot loop with a strange pop up which is
" Select an action
----------------------------------------------
Select an application for the USB device."
So I've wiped user data from the CWM recovery and I tried to install back my insecure rom (litening rom) with odin and also the original one.
The phone reboot well but i still get the pop up and i can't do anything ...
Is there a way to format and start from scratch or a another solution to remove this pop up ?
PS: i don't mind losing all my data.
PS2: sorry for the picture's bad quality (i took from my webcam ...)

Thanks for the quick reply !
I said i don't mind (or care) about losing data.
I don't have the mount storage and any format system (otherwise i would have already tried it ) on CWM ... I only get :
-reboot system
-apply update from sdcard
-wipe data/factory reset
-wipe cache partition
My android system recovery is 3e version

Hi
I have a SGSII (i9100) which I have successfully rooted (all "permission" files work ok through Superuser). However, I don't seem to be able to install Clockworkmod or, if successful, then I can't boot normally.
When I try to install CWM via Odin3, it installs ok, but the phone then hangs on the triangle screen. I can boot into the CWM screen where it tells me that it cannot mount to system nor to the cache. Any attempt to reboot normally fails (i.e. it hangs on the triangle screen). Thanks to a kind member helping me, I have been able to recover each time by using the I9100XXKI3.ZIP package.
I have also downloaded Rom Manager and tried to flash CWM from there. That says that it has been successfull, but when I then boot to the recovery, it tells me that "E:failed to verify whole-file signature and e:signature verification failed". Consequently, no CWM, just the usual recovery screen.
Am I missing something? Can someone help, please? At the moment I have root, but can't install any custom roms.
Thanks, masterpointer
Try to flash kernel with cwm. That should do it
Sent from my sgs2 running cm9 using xda app
First thing rom manager is not compatible will the sgs2, second thing it's confusing when you say you restore a .zip as this is done via cwm? In order to get recovery via odin you need to be using an appropriate rooting kernel. When you did manage to get into cwm did you wipe cache and delvik etc?

Download cf root kernel and flash with odin, and you`ll have cwm recovery. Don`t use rom manager with sgs2, never.

I did use an appropriate kernel. I wiped neither the cache nor the delvic cache before flashing, and after flashing I can't as the message says: "e:failure to mount \system" and several massages "e:falure to mount \cache\..."

I take your point regarding Rom Manager. but that aside, I have flashed CWM via Odin3 onto a rooted kernel and it does install, but phone hangs (freezes) on the triangle screen. I have tried several versions of CWM an several rooted kernels. They all install and they all freeze!

Boot in recovery, mount and storage, format system, data,cache. Pull battery out, after 2 min put it back, boot in download mode, start odin, flash stock rom, reboot, reboot again in download mode, then root with cf root kernel. Should solve you problem

I don't have "mount & storage" in recovery. Only Reboot System, Apply update from SD card, wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache partition.

You need to install a cwm rooted kernel .

yes, but therein lies the problem:
After I use cf-root (with KI4 kernel), the phone hangs (despite Odin3 showing everything ok)! And when i then boot into recovery, it says "e:failure to mount \system" and several massages "e:falure to mount \cache\..." and attempts to "mount" the listed items, all fail.

Thanks for your help, but as I said previously, I was unable to do any of your suggestions because as soon as I installed CWM, I was unable to mount the system and the cache.
However, since then I did some further research and came across a forum where several others had the same problem and one of them tried to use "Speedmod-kernel-s2-k2-21-Odin.tar" and, lo and behold, that worked for me as well!!!
Hi All,
i think i just softbricked my S3. i was running Omega rom 33.2 and found the phone was unstable. Hence i wiped data, factory reset, clear dalvik cache and etc. after flashing the rom, it got stucked at samsung boot screen.
i even tried to reflash the rom but still failed to boot up. after that i decided to flash stock rom using Odin (I9300ZSDLK2). it managed to boot in but then it got stucked at recovery (failed to mount /system (Invalid argument). i thought it could be something wrong with the /system, i then flash CWM to format /system. obvious i wont be asking for help if that step succeeded. i basically got pawned because i am not able to mount /system. anybody can help me?

no backup. i think nandroid restore wont help also because of /system is dead. i need to solve /system mounting issue.
Try full format then flash a stock firmware package in Odin.
Go into mounts and storage and format: System, data, cache and internal SD if you have it backed up.
Then re flash stock firmware, this has got me out of soft bricks lots of times.

If you are able to get into download mode, you can try flashing a PIT file. It will either really brick your phone or fix it. Search for the PIT file in the forums.
Remember when u flash a rom with pit file u need to tick repatition in odin..
But only do THIS in your case,never do it otherwise..
Good luck

I have a Samsung Galaxy Ace GT-S5830i which is rooted but on stock rom. I recently installed a live wallpaper "Exodus live wallpaper" from the play store and after going through the options it provided my phone just shutdown. I tried turning it back on and it started boot looping. I had a nandroid backup ready from CWM recovery but that would stop at data saying "Error while restoring /data!". I found this a bit odd so I factory reset it but with no luck. The next step I thought would be to flash back the stock using Odin. Again, no luck. After it says successful it reboots the phone which goes straight into recovery saying:
E:Can't open /data/log/recovery_log.txt
E:copy_kernel_file :: Can't open /data/log/recovery_kernal_log.txt
Reebooting...
and boot loop again.
I've tried re-partitioning, wiping cache, wiping dalvik cache, factory resets, formatting everything, using adb but with no luck (couldn't get root), tried restoring previous backups, trying different roms and copying the files directly to the directories using a root file manager.
I am now exhausted after 4 days of near sleepless nights trying to fix it and with nothing to show for it :crying: .
Please Help!!!!!

Use CWM to format everything except sdcard
Then flash firmware with Odin 3.07 with pit file and after flashing, go to recovery and wipe data

UPDATE
I've used Aroma file manager to see if I can find these files and they are exactly where they should be with read/write permissions for root and system (rw-rw-r--) so I have no idea why recovery can't open them.
also is there any way to force android to read them or to copy "recovery_kernal_log.txt" manually?
I'm thinking of taking it to samsung for repairs as nothing has worked so far so if anyone has some additional advice please post it before thursday 15th of august
First clear cache data from stock recovery. Than use cwm format system and data then enter download mode and use odin with pit file. U must use your country spesific firmware. If problem persists after all you may have a faulty phone.
Ps: take out sd card after odin flashes successfully in case problem related to sd card.

Looks like I have a faulty phone then.
I wonder how that would have happened from using the live wallpaper as it was perfectly fine before that.

Probably its the last drop makes phone dead! Usually high powered magnets or heat may cause the error. If you use your phone while charging it gets really hot. Hope phone service can repair it.
