So my phone was acting wonky, and after a reboott, it was stuck at the CyanogenMod splash screen. I decided I would just reflash ROM, but I can't wipe/factory reset the phone because it will just reboot while at the "Formatting Data" stage. Tried just reinstalling the ROM but no luck either. Still stuck at loading screen. Is my phone bricked?
Rooted, S-ON, CounterShrike ROM.
Is data and system mounted in recovery?

So under Mounts in Recovery, it should say "Mount /system" and "Mount /data" then correct? Or should it say unmount?
I can wipe /cache, Dalvik-cache, /system, but I can't wipe /data for some reason.

I was interested in using this script because I used it on my Nexus S and it was highly recommended:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1365158
It wipes /data, /cache, /boot, and /system.
I noticed that in CWM on my Nexus S I could go to Mounts/Storage and wipe /system and /boot. I usually do a factory reset also to cover /data and /cache.
Now on the SGS2, I noticed most recoveries only have wipe /system. What accounts for this difference? Is it bad to wipe /boot on our SGS2?
Yes. Don't touch bootloader unless you have a specific reason for doing same. If you wipe/trash/bork your bootloader there's a fair chance you'll hard brick your phone & need it JTAG'd.

/boot contains the bootloader?
how come it gets wiped on other phones like the Nexus S?
So, I was being an idiot in CWM and I formatted EVERYTHING. /system, /dbdata, /cache, /data, /emmc, and /sdcard. The reason I formatted is because I was getting OCD about my device because factory reset/wipe didn't wipe anything at all and I wanted a clean slate. Now, I am stuck in an endless boot cycle and I have no way of mounting the internal sdcard. I tried using ADB to push RemICS-UX to the internal sdcard, but it didn't work. I can still access CWM, and I am running v5.0.2.8.
However, I am able to mount /emmc, but I don't have an external sdcard, yet. Is there any possible workaround to mount the internal sdcard or USB storage?
Dont worry
go to egryits rom , select odin download. Let it download.Download odin, open the rom in odin . Put your gplayer in download mode and flash the rom! Good luck! Dont forget to wipe dalvick and cache in cwm
Happened to me twice LOL
In CWM the sdcard is mounted at /emmc and the external card is detected as the USB storage. The Odin solution should work, but try pushing a ROM to /emmc and flashing it. Everything should be back to normal as long as you didn't format efs

Not sure if this has been answered, but I have been searching and cannot find an answer.
I'm S-Off with Dirty Racun, have been flashing Roms for the past year, no problems, backing up and restoring Roms with no problem. Recently was using the latest Hatka LTE but wanted to restore to an earlier version. Didn't work. Did a super wipe and tried to install clean. Didn't work.
Have been messing with this all day and am stuck. At first it was saying that it could not mount the /sdcard. I thought maybe the internal sdcard was corrupt, so I formatted the internal sdcard. Didn't help.
Anyways, yes, I can get into bootloader and I can get into TWRP.
Yes, I have tried other versions of TWRP. All my backups were created under 2.4.1, have tried 2.4.4 and 2.5 to restore, no success.
In TWRP 2.4.1:
It will say:
Restoring 4 partitions...
Wiping System...
Formatting System using mke2fs...
Done.
Restoring system...
E:Unable to extract tar archive '/sdcard2/TWRP/BACKUPS/HT2324......
Wiping Cache..
Formatting Cache using mke2fs...
Done.
Restoring cache...
[cache done]
Restoring boot...
[boot done]
Updating partition details....
E:Unable to unmount '/system'
Also, not sure if this is related, but when I do Factory Reset under the Wipe section, it will only show that it is formatting cache, formatting data, and wiping .android_secure. It used to say formatting system, but now doesn't mention it?
Also, immediately after it says unable to mount /system, if I try to wipe system, it will give me a fail, unable to unmount /system
Basically, I'm stuck at TWRP and bootloader.
Also, when I try to install a ROM, any ROM, it will die - for example MeanBean 3.09, it will say:
Formatting and Mounting Partition...
Clearing cache and dalvik...
Installing /system....
Installing /data...
symlink: some symlinks failed
E: Error in /sdcard2/MeanBean-v309-jewel-ltevo.zip (Status 7)
Please help! What can I do to restore it back to the way it was so that I can at least get a working ROM on my phone?
Thanks!
Also, if it will help, I am HBoot 1.19.22222
Radio 1.12.11.1210
OpenDSP-v31.1.0.45.0815
Thanks for any help in advance!! Really need this phone to boot into something working.

sorry for the replies to myself, but as an update, now even after rebooting into recovery, I can't even wipe - the first thing that happens after I reboot into recovery is I see
E: Unable to mount '/sdcard'
E:Unable to recreate android secure folder.
E:Unable to mount '/sdcard', which repeats itself a couple of times
then Running boot script...
Finished running boot script...
This happens before I press a single button in recovery (TWRP 2.4.1), I mean it happens immediately as it is booting into recovery

I had the same issue and ended up using three different versions of TWRP, but if you go to the TWRP thread, captain just posted his version of recovery that he built from source and he fixed some of the issues with the android secure and changed some of the wipes, check it out and reformat using rm rf, works better for me it's in the advanced options...

I apparently did a very dumb thing by trying to flash PatchedMonkey through Flash Image GUI on my rooted s-on Evo LTE. Now it is stuck in permanent bootloops and I have to boot into recovery just to get it to stay off. I have tried flashing ROMs like SuperJelly and Sharkie ROM s-on and nothing has helped. I have also tried flashing komodo s-on and that didn't work either. Finally, on my Mac, I have tried to fastboot an RUU but I don't think it's worked because when I was last on a working ROM (CM10.1 7/24 nightly) I unchecked USB debugging. So does anyone have any other ideas as to how I might get this thing working again? Thanks in advance :fingers-crossed:
If you have a backup-and you should-restore it from recovery. Take a look at the link in my sig-it has some useful information in it that may be beneficial to you. If you don't have a backup to restore, try flashing the latest version of MeanBean. Make sure you follow the instructions in the OP so that you flash it correctly so that the kernel gets installed. Also, keep in mind that the Patch Monkey kernel is a 3.4 kernel, whereas Komodo is a 3.0 kernel, and they aren't interchangeable with one another.

I did have a backup and tried to restore it but it did not work. I don't think the kernel from the backup restores when you are s-on. I am going to try to download mean bean and see if that works. My backup got wiped though when I tried to factory reset so I can't try it again. Looks like I'm SOL. Anyone know how much they charge to replace a "lost" Evo LTE?

$150 through Asurion. Just flash MeanBean & be done with it. Even if you were to get a replacement (and I don't recommend going about it the way you are suggesting), you'd have a phone that's unrooted & S-on, so you'd be back at square one.

Tried to flash MeanBean and it went into boot loops. I let it reboot into the HTC splash screen about 5 or 6 times just to make sure but it looks like a no go . I'll send you that PM now.

It sounds like the kernel didn't install, or you didn't wipe properly in recovery prior to flashing. Make sure you read the instructions in the MeanBean thread regarding flashing while S-on. I believe you have to flash the ROM twice, but read the instructions to be sure.

It mentions using TWRP 2.4.1.0 but I'm not sure how to downgrade to that. I'm wiping Dalvik Cache, Cache, Data and System twice before every flash. I don't see an option to factory reset that is mentioned in the thread in TWRP 2.5.0.0 that I'm using.

Go to the Advanced Wipe option, and check Dalvik cache, cache, system and data, then wipe. No need to downgrade.
Make sure you read the instructions for S-on ROM installation. Mike's instructions say to flash the ROM zip, and once you see the words "Look!" appear, go to the reboot menu and choose to reboot the system. The ROM will initially boot, then reboot to recovery. Flash the ROM zip again, then reboot the system. You should be good to go then.
Ok that's exactly what I've been doing. Those are the 4 things that I listed that I wipe every time I flash but I shall try it again
This is what it said after I checked Dalvik cache, cache, system and data and wiped: Formatting Cache using mke2fs... Done. Formatting Data using mke2fs... Done. Formatting System using mke2fs.... Done. Updating partition details..... E:Unable to mout '/sdcard' E:Unable to mout '/sdcard' E:Unable to mout '/sdcard' E:Unable to mount internal storage.
When I finally flash everything seems to go well with what it says until the end where I get: E:Unable to mout '/sdcard' E:Unable to mout '/sdcard' E:Unable to mout '/sdcard'
And finally I'm back into the bootloops that I've been trying so desperately to escape

Okay. Put a copy of MeanBean on your computer, then plug your phone up to your computer. You can mount USB storage via recovery. You can then format your internal storage. Remember it's formatted FAT32.
