I think I did something stupid.
I wanted to install a new ROM (OmniROM) and wanted a fresh device.
So I went into ClockworkMod Recovery v6.0.2.2 and went to the "Mounts and Storage" menu.
Here I did a format of all the storage available (except /external_sd)
To sum it up:
- format /cache
- format /system
- format /data
- format /preload
- format /sdcard
- format /data and /data/media
After this I went on and tried to install OmniRom. But I receive an "Installation aborted" error.
When I try to reboot the device it tells me:
Root access possibly lost. Fix? THIS CAN NOT BE ONDONE.
- No
- Yes - Fix root (/system/xbin/su)
- +++++Go Back+++++
I tried installing an other ROM (ArchiDroid 2.3) This installation process starts and I get through the wizard.
But the device keeps booting to ClockworkMod Recovery..
I'm having the feeling I ****ed up and deleted some necessary system files.
Is there a way to fix this brick?
I appreciate any help!
Managed to fix it.
I still had a full CWM backup from when I first rooted the phone. (1,5 year ago)
It was like a trip back in time

It all started today when I rooted my stock 2.2 and installed Voodoo.
After I installed Voodoo, my phone wouldn't boot. So I Odin'ed a stock ROM.
The Problem is, I have no internal/external storage on the phone at all!
I've tried flashing milliions of times, but no dice. Anyone know how to fix this?
EDIT:
There was a time where it showed my internal storage and I used the File manager to go in and erase the Voodoo folder and stuff. But still nothing. And everytime I check the "Re-partition" option in Odin, I get an says that Data wipe failed. I'm really stuck here guys!
EDIT2:
Now it says:
"update media, please wait
E:Can't mount /dev/block/stl10
(Invalid argument)
E:copy_dbate_media:Can't mount DBDATA:
your storage not prepared yet, please use UI menu for format and reboot actions"
If I selsect "format internal sd-card" I get the same error.
boot into recovery, clear cache, do a reset and then clear dalvik the reflash 2.1JFD make sure to check repartition box, after it is done then root and then flash a custom rom of your choice

If I'm not mistaken, CWM is the only one with that option. I don't have CWM installed.
AWESOME!
Seems to have worked... I got all my storage space back.
Only problem I have is, low application storage.
Hi!
I used to run CyanogenMod 9.1 with device encryption on my Galaxy S3, and decided today that I wanted to try a CM 10 nightly.
A problem with device encryption that I didn't know about before is that it's impossible to turn off. ClockworkMod Recovery (5.8.4.3) can't mount the /data partition (and, by extension, /sdcard). This means that I can't use CWM to factory reset or install a new update.zip, since the update.zip must lie on the internal sdcard.
Trying "choose zip from sdcard" gives "E:Can't mount /sdcard/" and choosing "apply /sdcard/update.zip" gives "E:Can't mount /sdcard/update.zip". This happens even if I've used adb to put the update.zip in the /sdcard mountpoint.
Factory resetting from CWM gives these two errors: "Error mounting /data!" and "Error mounting /sdcard/.android_secure!". Factory resetting from CM9 didn't work. I've since tried to flash CM10 with MobileOdin, which didn't work, and now I can only boot to CWM.
Does anyone have any idea about how I could mount /data or otherwise get a working ROM? I've taken backups of everything.
TL;DR: S3 only boots to CWM, but CWM won't mount /data and so can't flash zips.
I have the exact smae problem. i hope someone knows how to fix!!
Hi guys, looks like im back with another rom / storage problem, and its really bugging me. PLEASE HELP!!!
Ok, stock sam firmware is fine, cm 9 is fine, anything higher or lower boot loops and / or doesn't have internal storage. I flash recovery 4.x.x.x (CWM) Through rom manager, (Allows me to reboot into it, but volume up power and home gives stock recovery) I flash a rom in this way:
Wipe data
wipe cache
install zip
reboot
sometimes, i will also wipe dalvik / battery stats
In cm 10 recovery it says warning no file contexts
when I format preload in cwm-based recovery v6.0.4.5
E:format_volume: make_extf4fs failed on /devblock/mmcblk0p12
Error formatting preload!
I also get this in cwm-based recovery v6.0.4.5
E:Can't mount /storage/sdcard0
Error mounting /storage /sdcard0!
in earlier versions of recovery, both sd cards show up on my mac after turn on usb storage, but when i flash cwm-based recover v6.0.4.5 it only shows external
when I flash cm10.2 / 10.1 i get bootloop. I flash kitkat rom after, and it boots, but recovery and rom cannot access internal, sometimes external storage. I really dont know why.
i am sorry its all a bit messy, but I just wanted to tell you guys everything
Please help guys

Hello guys,
I have a very strange problem that noone else has because i cant find anything about it on the net.
I have a Galaxy s3 with cyanogenmod 10.2 and boeffla 2.1 stabe using twrp as recovery. I´ve set up my system and made a backup of everything. then i´ve wanted to check if the restore is working so i restored my backup. after a reboot my entyre phone was set to factory state. happened 2 times . cyanogenmod was still installed but i had to configure the entire system again. after downloading all apps i decided to install cwm instead of twrp using cwm 6.0.4.5 touch for i9300 flashing via odin 1.85. everything worked fine and i booted into recovery to make a backup. cwm then says: Error cant mount /system so i tried to mount the system via the storage option. still says cant mount /system. then i rebooted my phone and again everything was gone... im really angry because whats the point of using a backup and then everything is gonna be erased.
i hope someone can help me with this. i also would erase everything and start from zero so that everything works.
Edit:
manual factory reset shows this:
formatting data
Error mounting /data.
Error mounting /sdcard/ . android_secure!
Skipping Format
formatting cache is working
cant format sd card.
&
Cant download apps from google play because of server problems...
show log:
mount: mounting /dev/block/mmcb1k0p16 on/data failed: no such file or directory
W: failed to mount /dev/blockmmcb1k0p16 (file exist)
cant wipe dalvik cache
!!!phone gets resetted everytime after cwm says error cant mount /system!!!
regards
Can be closed
I´ve installed original Samsung firmware and then CWM + CM10.2 + Boeffla 2.1 again and now CWM can mount everything and the Backup also works. maybe Twrp ****ed something up. i dont know.
regards
So, I have rooted LG L9 II with CWM v6.0.4.6 and CM 11 (KitKat Prime)

Today the phone crashed (it does it once a month so i was not suprised), I took out the battery to reset, because it was not responding.
When I turned it on it had a bootloop.
I was looking for a solution and I discovered i can't wipe dalvik cache, so i tried to do a factory reset and I got something like this:
Error mounting /sdcard/.android_secure!
I also can't mount data form CMW.
In all threads I read, solving one of this problems require doing another thing I am unable to do
Please help, I want my phone !!!

Did u check the SD card, on a computer, maybe it got corupted?
Also try to sideload again the CM11 (in case u cant mount the sd at all). In the CWM (dont know if u;re cwm versoin has sideload) "install zip" - "install zip from sideload", and from the computer go "adb sideload yourfile.zip"
