I stupid did formatted my /data and /system on my prime.
It is now completely empty, i can get normally into recovery mode but cannot install any software at all.....
When i try install install from sd card it says simply: 'no files found'
I got an external SD inserted but this is not reqonized by fastboot recovery.
When i go to 'mounts and formats' the /sdcard /data etc is not mounted, when i use 'mount sd card' nothing happens, mostlikely because all is formated and there is no /sdcard found.
I booted into USB mode and uplaoded a CW rom into the drive which is mounted on my pc, created a folder called sdcard and place in there the CW mod, try to install it bu no succes. It simply does not see my sd card.
Tried: adb pusk cm.xxxxx.xip /sdcard, but get an error: closed
Simply i cannot install anything.
My question is:
- how do i access the external SD card where my rom is located to install?
- how can i recover the prime so i can use it again?

Hi. Noob Android user here
So. I turned on usb storage and formatted the sd card from windows. I copied some files onto it and after i turned off usb storage it said "SD card is safe to remove" and i don't seem to be able to mount it back.
Thank you.

try to format it thru phone
Tried that a couple of time and it didn't work. After a couple of reboots it worked now. Thanks.
Still got a question though.
What are the correct settings for formatting the sd card from windows?
Is it necessary to partition it from CWM? What are the correct setting for this?
LE: Ok. I got myself deeper in trouble. I managed to format the sd card from CWM. I mounted the sd card and copied update-cm-7.2.0-RC1-p500-signed.zip over. I wiped the phone's memory and tried to install CM7 and got the following error: "E: Can't open /sdcard/update-cm-7.2.0-RC1-p500-signed.zip (bad)". I also tried with update-oxygen-2.3.2-LGP500-KANG-signed_v2.6.zip but doesn't work either.
I was thinking of trying to partition the sd card from CWM but i'm afraid i will make it unable to mount back again and this time i got no android to format it from.
Also it seems that formatting the sd card from cwm doesn't really work. The files are still there though it says that it completed.
LE2: I managed to mount sd card from cwm and copied over a cwm backup folder i had in my computer. Takes a while to copy it like it really does something. But after i try to restore or remount usb storage the files aren't there anymore.
can you tell me why do you want to patition your sd card? do you want to create second partition (sd-ext) or what?

Just format your SDCARD from SETTINGS - STORAGE, after that proceed with the instalation of CM7 or whatever you want. Don't partition your SDCARD if you don't know how to do that and if you don't need partitioned SDCARD. It is not necessary to do that if you don't use an APPS2SD app, so don't waste your time with that.
as topic title says, i cant acces the internal SD anymore.
did a full stock flash via odin, but still get the same error.
when phone is booted up it gallery keeps crashing (cant find the internal sd).
also in cwm i get the message E:Can't mount /sdcard
i tried unmouting and formatting, but still not accesible.
is there a way to reformat the internal SD via adb ?
Good day,
I am using SGS2 i9100g.
I have flashed from CM10.0, JB4.1.2 to pacman 3.00, JB4.2.2
ISSUES:
1. error mounting emmc and cannot detect external sd card
2. When i want to use camera or gallery, there is an error saying "No external storage available"
Attempted solutions:
I have tried the following but it does not solve my problem
1. re-flash the custom rom and gapps. (full wipe with wipe cache and dalvik cache)
2. reformatted my sd card to fat32.
3. went to recovery to unmount and remount my external sd card
4. tried to mount emmc in recovery but returns an error "error mounting emmc"
5. off and on and also rebooted my smartphone
6. tried these codes shown at the bottom(to manual remount)
$ su <enter>
# mount -o remount rw /mnt/sdcard<enter>
Side notes:
- I am not sure whether is both related in terms of cannot mount emmc and not detecting my sd card.
- My sd card can be seen in storage with many free space(new sd card) can unmount and mount but the "Mount usb storage" is sealed, my internal storage also can be seen with a lot of free space.
- I am not sure about this but i have googled and saw that some people said that cyanogenMod has bugs regarding the folder of sd card and internal memory directory are swapped(or something like that)
- By using ES file explorer i can see mnt/extSdCard(which is my external sd card) with my files inside but in my mnt/sdcard(i am not sure if this is for internal memory) there is nothing but i cannot find emmc folder inside /mnt.
- I have a storage folder which has sdcard0 which contains nothing, sdcard1 which contains my file in my external sd card and a usbdisk0 contains nothing also.
- Now i am not sure which is the cause of the problem where i cannot use my camera phone and gallery
Please help and thanks in advance
Every help and suggestion is appreciated
SOLUTION!!!

I have found a solution. Just reflash back to stock and then flash to custom rom.(repartition with an uncompatible .pit file can cause a traumatic event to a person i.e me )
ATTENTION!!!
DO NOT MESS WITH .PIT FILE!!! I've did a mistake earlier and i've paid the price of bricking my phone. Plus when you meddle with the wrong .pit file, it will corrupt the internal memory and as far as i have searched through the xda forum, nothing works and re-flashing back to stock rom can also cause problems.
Hope this information will inform all of you so that you will not make the same mistake as i have done.
Peace

Do you think it would work if I just redo repartition with a known correct PIT file?
Or going back to Stock is a must?
Thanks!

Hi,
I messed up with the Android software, i installed chainfire app from the Play store and tried running it, After it ran the phone rebooted and got stuck in Welcome screen, I did soft reset by pulling out the battery for 10 mins , but it didnt help.
Now the thing is i dont want to lose my sensitive data. P.s I can enter into CWM recovery mode and also my phone is rooted with Omega ROM 4.1.2. I can see the file structure of my internal SDcard through the install from Internal SDcard Menu, But when i go to the mounts and storage menu and mount the SDcard it says there is an error mounting SDcard, I want to take backup of my folders before preforming a hard reset
I tried fetching files through ADB Shell installed on my PC, But it didnt help , I can see all the folders including SDcard and SDcard1, but both folders are empty without any data, i am sure since i was not able to mount the SDcard it was displaying empty folder. But my question is im able to explore all the folders in my internal SD in recovery mode through the "Install from Internal SDcard menu"
Is there any way to recover the files ?....The only way i can think of is to transfer the Same ROM zip file to Ext SD Card and perform the installation of ROM from recovery mode and again my doubt is will it affect the data on my internal SD card
Is there any way to backup my files from SDcard to PC.

flashing the same rom.zip from ext sd card does not wipe internal data.

Ok.....My question is why i am not able to mount my Internal SD card in recovery mode and take a backup through ADB in PC.
Is it that CWM doesnt support mounting the Internal SD card...has anyone tried mounting the internal SD card in recovery mode.

when there is no data loss, why backing up via pc again? when you flash rom.zip through ext sd card, the system boots normally into OS. then you may backup the data to pc and perform hard reset as you wish.

What happened was that I chose the wrong nandroid to restore by accident it was for a different device. It soft bricked the tablet, but I was able to bring it back. Now it boots, and runs android, but TWRP says "cannot mount emmc" and also "cannot mount sd" The external sdcard0 does mount and work in TWRP but when android is booted I have to change permissions to the sdcard0 folder to get the external card to mount, and the internal sd tries but wont mount. Aparted recognizes the internal card if I manually change to its directory and is able to create partitions and so forth, but it still wont mount. Aparted repair says it has a corrupted superblock. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks for reading
