Hello!
My GT-i9100T is my first android phone, I've been using for two months and I love it. This afternoon I decided to root my phone (I have never rooted or installed a custom ROM on this phone before) using this method, and I downloaded all the files and followed all instructions. When I selected 'apply update from external storage' it took a little while and gave me this error: 'E:unable to mount /sdcard (No such file or Directory)'.
I searched online but I couldn't find anything helpful but I did factory reset my phone and yet it still didn't work. Can anyone help me?

i think u should have put the files in ur internal sdcard not external, please check by doing so and see
ps - alternatively u can put the file's in ur cache folder and select 2 install the same from cache in recovery and see
Thanks for the swift reply!
I don't have an external SD card and I've never used one.
EDIT: I can't do that because the cache folder is inaccessible.

then try the alternative ie cache folder option and see, since the cwm .zip does require an extsd since thats the one giving u the error while updating if i am correct

You need a physical external sdcard in order for this to work.
If you're in need of root just flash a CF-Root kernel..

Why? And you didn't exactly help by giving him the wrong information. Quite the opposite in fact. On the plus side, you've been thanked not once, but twice for giving that wrong information. Excellent.
Hi there. I've installed framework.res.apk from this thread, but suddenly got a bootloop. I can boot into cwm, but how i can install stock framework.res.apk? mb form odin? and also, where i can get it?
I know, i must do backup but im an idiot i know.
If someone can help me, i'll be appreciate it, thanks.

Already done, nothing changes.
Thats bad, but if i install a full ROM from odin, will it replase framework.res.apk?

Yes, new rom replace all things
well since you have already done factory reset (and lost all your data) no point in whats written below
But if it happens next time and you want to preserve data, please mention if you are running an odexed/deodexed rom. Someone nice here can upload the file(s) you need and you can push them to your phone using adb

I think stock rom was odexed How i can check is my rom odexed/deodexed?
Also, thanks you guys for so fast help, now i must just w8 when i can download a new ROM, i cant afford to download it now.

Yes stock rom will always be odexed. to check you can go to app or framework folder in system/ and see if you have corresponding odex files for apk or jars.
Edit: Also a suggestion. Don't flash mods that do not specefically say that they are for odexed roms (if you are on stock). For brightness control you can use lux brightness free from market. it gives you control on how much brightness you need
One guy from local forum gave me a restore zip file. Any ideas how can i push it on phone, if it loads only in cwm and download mode?

Pretty obvious and easy Kind of ridiculous, but TODAY i forgot my tab with sd card so, i'll fix that later
Thanks for answering my silly questions, ill upload a fix file here later, maybe someone have same problem.
No no you should be able to mount your phone' internal memory too. I am on AOSP 4.1.1 else i would have helped more

Hm, when i choose "mount /sdcard" nothing happens, screen just refreshes, no errors, but i cant "unmount /sdcard"
Thats strange.
add: But i can "apply zip from /sdcard" and can see all directories in /sdcard
Hello there guys so I'm here because I did a very silly mistake related to the CWM for the Galaxy Player 4.2 (Or at least that's what I think I did ).
Related to this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=39344227
Anyway I'm not familiar with CWM since the Galaxy Player 4.2 is my first Android device ( And is not like the device has been easy on us right ), my device is rooted and the problem is that I already got the Kernel on my device and as expected I'm without WiFi. How can I configure the CWM Recovery without WiFi, if not, how can I get WiFi back?.
Sorry for bothering with dummy questions/mistakes and thanks in advance .

Can I flash the fix without CWM, for example with Odin?. I'm having a really hard time here, since I was dumb enough to install the Kernel without configuring the CWM before or at least making sure I could do it without the WiFi. Now the problem is when I want to flash with Rom Manager it says I need the recovery since I'm not a premium but again in order to get the recovery I need WiFi internet :/.

Wow it's the first time I see somebody having more problems with CWM than odin (no offense). Actually all you need to do is to put the patch into your device and then boot into CWM. Once into CWM, go into install zip from sdcard, then chose zip from sdcard and chose your patch zip. Once you choose it, you will see a bunch of no and one yes, check yes and it will patch it. Once it's done, reboot your device.
Hope it helps.
I'd like to know if flashing the kernel with CWM will make loose data, apps and preferences ? Thanks.

You're right, it works fine ! Now I have a question : I tried a backup in CWM, system and data have been backed up, but neither applications nor cache.
I got the following error messages :
Code:
No /sdcard/.android_secure found. Skipping backup of applications on external storage.
Backing up cache...
No sd-ext found. Skipping backup of sd-ext.
Any idea ?

/sdcard/.android_secure is the directory of the download of big apps (for example apps like nova or subway surfers I think) Cache has been backed up. Don't worry, all your things has been backed up.

Man, I feel so stupid right now . I managed to run the CWM boot now when I try to install the zip the update. Says:
"E: failed to verify whole-file signature
E: signature verification failed
Installation aborted"
Maybe I should tell you everything I did just in case.
I had the device already rooted.
Flashed the kernel
Installed the CWM v5.0.2.7
Transfered the Fix zip to sdcard
then I did everything you said and also tried to disable verification and still failed.
Sorry to be bothering U_U.
Ok I finally fixed everything... It was my external sd after all, it wasn't functioning properly. Tried with another Sd card and now it's working. Thanks you for your patience and help

So I suppose that I've no such apps, as I don't have any .android_secure directory in /
Also, cwm backup seems to ignore backup of boot.image and recovery image. There is not even an error or warning message.

Go to sammobile.com/firmwares and search for software acording to your provider and country
Then root it (there are a lot of methods .. just search)
Use that tool to restire efs backup

you should flash stock rom first that you will find here and use for your country otherwise you will get some problems with modem (h+/3g stuck, low signal...)

You dont need to flash a new rom.Just boot to recovery,do a factory reset,wipe cache,wipe dalvik cache and reboot.

Yes hi could just do it but this will not solve problems with signal
If your country doesnt have official firmware then flash latest neatrom cuz it uses xxms2 modem which is "good" in most of countries

Yeah,xxms2 should work well.Or xxms4.Just sayin' that there's no need to try different roms,he could just flash different modems.But I have to agree - neatrom should do the trick:good::good::good:
