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

hi there
i was removing ext-sdcard to install a new rom to my sgs2 and follow these steps:
.run into the Recovery
.wipe data
.wipe cache
.enter mounts and storage
.format cache, system, data, sdcard, emmc
.back to main menu
.enter advanced
.wipe dalvik and cache
.back to main menu again
.enter mounts and storage
.then to mount usb storage
.copying rom files from my pc to my phone's internal storage
.unmount
.back to main menu
.enter install zip from sdcard
.choose zip file from sdcard
.and finally installing the rom successfully!!!
a few days ago i wanted to try another rom and followed the same steps but i got "E:Unable to write to ums lunfile (No such file or directory)" when trying to mount usb storage. in the other hand i can't format sdcard. i got "unable to mount scdard" error mesage.
did i brick my internal storage?now i installed original rom md5 file with odin. i can see my 11,5gb internal storage. my CWM version is 5.0.2.7. how can i fix this problem???
which version on cmw do you have? 4.x.x.x may have this problem. versione 5.0.0.x solved it for me
my CWM version is 5.0.2.7 and using siyahkernel 2.3

**** i thought i was seeing things as i am the same as the OP but this isn't good
Well after panicking and thinking my phone was broke, I found this thread, and flashed a different kernel and all is working again.
At first I thought it was the latest cwm causing a problem as it worked in the previous cwm but it was the kernel causing the "Unable to write to ums..." error
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!!
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
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"
