i9100 problems - FORMAT PRELOAD or VIPE FACTORY RESET - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi lads, i have huge problem with my i9100, so i wanna make some steps to make it better.
I have installed CM11 with CWM v6.0.4.7
When i try to make - wipe data factory-reset, CWM give me error E:unknown volume for path [/sd-ext]
When i try to format /preload CWM give me error E:format_volume: make_extf4fs failed on /dev/block/mmcblk0p12 Error formatting /preload!
Something is not right.
I need to clear everything and start from beginning, I was thinking about installing a new krenel, then install some three file rom by ODIN.
What do you think ?
What should i do ?
Thanks in advence ..

Anyone ?

what he is trying to say is that you should flash the kernel AFTER you flash your ROM
the ROM you chose is [CM10][Jellybro] i9100 Nightly Kangs, yes?
anyway..
here is what you should do
1. flash your rom
2. flash gapps for cm10
3. flash a kernel [an example of which is Dorimanx Kernel]
if you are still confused on some terms, please refer here
I hope this helps
EDIT:
you should root your phone first
You know, after flashing a new rom booting may take some more time, at least a few minutes. Have you been waiting enough time?
First, check md5sum of ROM [what Saywhatt wrote a few posts back]
a. If you are no longer in recovery modes then you can get a kernel [tar file] Flashing with Odin.
If your phone then starts normally, then flash the ROM you want through CWM.
*** wipe data / wipe cache / wipe Dalvik cache / format system in mounts and storage / flash ROM from sdcard***
b. If you can get into recovery mode, not flash with Odin, but do these same steps;
**** wipe data / wipe cache / wipe Dalvik cache / format system in mounts and storage / flash ROM from sdcard***
PS. If it fails in step a first flash stock ROM with Odin
sorry for my bad english

You have to use the newest CWM or PhilZ recovery..
After getting one of those, you have to do Wipe Data/Factory Reset and Wipe Cache.
I also format /preload /system and internal sd usually before install.
If you don't have a new CWM based recovery, that should be the problem (PhilZ r. is also CWM based)
Hope it was helpful

Corrupt Archive..! Match the MD5 else re download it...!
Android File host has been a issue in the last few days if u have used that..!
what's the error?

(Q) phone stuck in bootloop after flashing. Download and recovery mode working.

tetakpatak said:
Please quote my post and copy&paste whole text into some help thread for your phone, it is better idea as we are now getting off topic here. I'll try to help you there.
Format /system is done in recovery mode under "mount and storage" then after that you can restore your nandroid if it is done with the same recovery you use now. If you're on PhilZ 6, it usually can restore also CWM 6 backups.

What does format system do? And please help me load sentinel rom. That's the one I was gonna do.
Okay now for the question... I was running stock 4.1.2 with siyah kernel 6.0 b5. Then I decided to install philz kernel, but ended up in bootloop. Then I tried flashing dorimanx but still in bootloop. All the while I wiped everything before flashing.
Now im stuck as I can boot into recovery via any kernel but ultimately phone is stuck.
What to do?
And can anyone give me steps to install sentinel rom from this stage?

Mate, sorry for waiting, I was out of home. We will get your ROM back as soon as the phone boots again.
Don't worry, it doesn't sound serious so far. We have recovery and download mode (so topic name "nothing works" isn't really correct)
Formatting /system wipes all data from the system partition (so your system will be gone then) and it is important to do before installing new ROMs (essencially important for KitKat). It can't do any harm. As you have tried to install other kernels and didn't work we should check first what did you try to flash so far and it didn't boot? Is that what you wrote all what you have tried?
Now let me know please which recovery do you have now and is it the same version like when you have created your nandroid backup? If the recovery is the same, I would indeed try to restore nandroid backup right after wiping /system. Before you wipe the system just let me know: can you use ADB? If yes, check do you have ADB connection in the recovery mode?

Hi! Internal memory usually shouldn't get wiped by formatting /system, as it is "storage", not part of the system. I would give a try, wipe all: data/factory reset, cache, dalvik cache (advanced) and format /system (mounts and storage). Then back to the main menu --> backup & restore --> restore from (internal or external memory where your nandroid is saved) and choose your backup. It should reboot normally then.

Cool, @AndroidReborn! Now you can install your old ROM again and restore nandroid. Keep that stock FW saved on your PC, so if your phone gets ever again soft-bricked, no problem to revive it again.
I am wondering how nobody here responsed your help prompt, we have in i9000 help threads always handfull people of experience and skills who are ready to help in need. And there are double amount of the SGS2 units sold around the world.... strange.

No idea. The people seem pretty 'busy'. Thanks for helping. Just one teeny tiny last question.. How do I install cm11 or any kitkat rom over this? Cwm is 6.0.4.5 so it's compatible...
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
If you want to flash kitkat, the first thing you need to do is flash a kitkat compatible CWM (v6.0.4.7). If you try to flash KK with an 'older' CWM, you'll get 'installation aborted....error status 7' or something similar........
I'm currently running @infected_s KK build, and in the OP, you will find download links for the correct CWM, ROM and GApps files.......

In any case, probably best not to risk it......
6.0.4.7 is DEFINITELY KK compatible.... and it'd take a couple of seconds to flash.........

Yes, mate, CWM 6.0.4.5 is capable of flashing KitKat.
It is usually always the same:
download your ROM zip and compatible Gapps
check in the phone (or PC) if the zips are corrupted through download (if they open after clicking them, they are fine)
move the zips to the folder you will flash it from (if you use PC to flash zips with ADB sideload, put them in the sdk/platform-tools folder)
make nandroid backup of your presently used ROM
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache
wipe dalvik cache (advanced)
format /system (under mount and storage)
flash ROM.zip
flash Gapps
reboot
It is in general always good to read in the development thread of the ROM you attend to flash in the opening post which Gapps are recommended, or if there is some unusual order of flashing (sometimes, developers recommend reboot system after flashing ROM, and after that going to recovery and flash Gapps zip.
Some KitKat ROMs struggle with root access by using Superuser, so SuperSU should be flashed. If SuperSU app from Play Store gives errors by updating binary, you should uninstall SuperSU app then, find in the Chainfire's thread the compatible UPDATE-SuperSu.zip (version for your phone), flash its zip in the recovery, install SuperSU app, update binary (either "normal" or "through CWM/TWRP")

[Q] [SOLVED] unable to install custom roms !! please help

please accept my noobness !!
i'm using CWM v6.0.4.6 (i even face the same problem using TWRP) ..
i tried to install different types of kitkat roms including (carbon,slimkat,omni,resurrection),they all pass installation process and never pass boot animation !! it just sticks in the boot animation with no further progress...i wait for about 20 mins but nothing happens !!
please note that this problem started to arise after using aroma installer to install archiedroid rom based on stock -which is the only rom which works at the moment!!
i've tried to factory reset-wipe cache-wipe dalvik-removing memory card after flashing each rom !!
any reply will be highly appreciated!! thanks in advance

Use philz recovery.
And before flashing a ROM use the option to clean to install a new ROM.
Or just wipe preload.
I had that once and it happened because i had a swapfile on preload

Philz I don't like. I once wiped for new ROM and it wiped recovery too. Never used it since. Check md5 of ROM also using right gapps?? Preload can sometimes need a wipe. Also int sd card could too cause problems so wiping that could help to.

you're a genius !!!! philz recovery did work !!! i simply pressed "clean to install a new rom" it worked like magic !!! thanks again !!
That good that it did that in preload.
S3 doesn't use preload but sometimes you may find something in there. You have two choice's either wipe int SD and flash ROM from ext sd or flash stock with odin which wipe wipe anyway. Back up int SD to PC or ext SD. So format sd then format system data cache then flash ROM/gapps. If no joy Odin flash will be a must. I think this will be something on you're int SD not allowing you to flash the ROM. This does happen with int SD as this has happened to me. @tarzan pointed this out,said format int then flash and had no problems since. Also use cwm 6.0.4.4 as I know this works well with tw or custom ROMs.

First make a rom backup of your 4.2.2 incase if something goes wrong and you want to restore back.
Then download the latest recovery version, twrp or cyanogenmod
Download cm11
Flash the newest recovery,
Reboot into recovery
Format data/factory reset
Wipe /system
Wipe /dalvik-cache
Flash cm11
Flash kitkat gapps
Reboot.
Enjoy cm11.
The reason why you need latest recovery is because cm11(kitkat) needs selinux enabled recoveries, else it will say something like aborted, set_metadata_recursive failed.
Goodluck with flashingcm11!

Did you downloaded cyanogenmod for the right device?(Probably you have but just in case)
Are you really using the latest recovery?
Better way, what error does it shows, why does it aborts.
