Guys! Need help! I'M DESPERATED!
I was using Resurrection ROM with Googy Kernel, but i wanted to give a try to Angi kernel.
I downloaded the cm kernel, reboot into recovery, wipe cache and dalvik and flash. So then I get a bootloop. I think: Okey, chill. I flash again Googy kernel and no problem. I went to flash the kernel that I have it on my external storage... what happened? My external sd card CANT BE MOUNTED!
So? I panic!
What should I do? I have nothing on my internal storage. My nanodroids backups are in my external storage.
HEEEELPPP!??!? Can I use ODIN to flash the ROM again? Or should I flash a STOCK Firmware first? Where can I get a stock fw with recovery? Please I'm going crazy! It's my phone dead?
PD: sorry if my poor english.
Put your sd card into your pc, check it works -save data then format it and load nandroid. Replace it in phone and restore.
If the sd card won't work in your pc then throw it away.

was your sdcard encrypted before you changed kernel?
always make sure, when you're flashing, to: 1a. have plenty of time 1b. backup everything

No, no encryption.
I'll post with any changes.
Thanks for helping!
SOLVED!
Formatting wouldn't solve recognizing de sd card. Could not mount it. But if i choose advance external storage restore I was able to see the files. So I restore only the boot and I recover mi ROM.
Thnks again for helping!

thanks for reply but the problem occours with the INTERNAL sd card lol
Use hard reset service code to wipe all including internal sdcard.
*2767*3855#
Use it only if you know what you are doing
i9.0.1.3k galaxy imperator
I'm having this same problem. I just tried installing Resurrection Remix, and it crashed, and now it seems like the internal SDcard is not functioning. I cannot boot. I can get into CWM or d/l mode though. In recovery, it will mount the external sd fine, but can't mount the internal sd, it skips formatting it every time because it can't mount. I tried installing Siyah kernel though ODIN, but it fails everytime after loading the boot. I tried re formatting partition in ODIN, but again, it fails. I tried reinstalling different ROMS off of the external SD card, but all they do is quickly show the boot flash, and then go straight to a black screen.

my problem is different from yours, because I use the terminal without any problems (excluding this, of course) I think that your internal sd is broken. I'm sorry
Go to "check-rom" thread then go to their base rom download page and Odin resurrection version and flash that..
IF this doesn't solve your problem,then go to samfirmware.com and download a 3(4 with pit file) file stock rom and flash this,first with pit file and the 3 files and see if this solves your problem.
IF that didn't work either then try with repartition ticked(at your own risk) but be sure to know how to flash properly with Odin and repartition, so search and read as much as u can on how to use Odin..
PS..always do a factory wipe before flashing to get a clean install,u can always restore stuff using titanium backup
Use repartition as a last resort and remember to include pit file when repatitioning
the error log from cwm is this
can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1
today i'm very tired i try to find a solution tomorrow thanks guys
hello, i was running cm7 on my phone and decided i wanted to switch to nottatrix
i put the files on my external sd card and went into recovery did a factory wipe and then a cache wipe and then a dalvik cache wipe
then i accidently managed to click partition internal sd to 128mb while trying to get back to the main menu
i then rebooted into recovery to try and install my files for the new rom and it says no files found anywhere
i then tried to reboot into my backup i did yesterday and it says there is no backup?
iv turned the phone off to save the battery please help me i dont know what too do?
would this work? put sd card in card reader put rom back on it then install from recovery?
also can someone explain what partitioning does and why all my files have been deleted from my sd card ?
When you lift the partition on a file system....it is erased. Your files are gone.....hard lesson learned.

it must work, i had to do it once, just place the rom in the sd card again, enter recovery and install the rom
I'm embarrassed to ask such a stupid question, but I've been digging around for hours and couldn't find an answer. Using TWRP, I was attempting to flash MeanROM. I placed the ROM in my Dropbox and downloaded it to my phone using the default browser. Booted into recovery and began to follow the steps. I created a backup, did my wipes, etc. So when I was finally ready to flash, I went into Install and have no idea where the ROM was saved. I thought it would be easy enough to find so I didn't bother checking where it saved before hand. I also couldn't find where my Backup saved so I couldn't even restore from there.
Could you please help me find my ROM or backup?
Switch mount points, perhaps the Rom is on external and not internal

I don't have an external SD card installed. I imagine that the ROM is in the default saving location for the browser, I just don't know how to navigate there. And I have no idea what the default saving location is for TWRP backups.
Downloads from the stock browser goes to my external sd card in the downloads folder. There's also a downloads folder on my internal card.

So I did a system wipe and it looks like that's where I went wrong. The directions said to wipe everything but I guess I got carried away as it looks like it cleared everything off. The only thing under the sdcard folder is a TWRP folder. But when I press Install and then go into /sdcard/TWRP, there's nothing in there. Shouldn't the back up I created be in there?
Please tell me I didn't brick my phone my doing the system wipe.

You didnt brick, you just need to put a rom on the card and flash. If boot fails, you will need to flash kernel through fastboot

I don't have a BACKUPS folder under TWRP. Did the system wipe delete that too?

When I tried mounting my phone to my computer from TWRP, it shows up as a drive on my computer, but when I try to click on it, I get the following message:
The Disk in drive F is not formatted.
Do you want to format now?
Is it safe to go ahead and format and will that erase all that's left on my phone?

Great, I'll give that a shot when I get home. One last question, which parts should I mount to format? System, data, or cahce?
you only need to select mount and then mount as storage, everything else can be wiped in recovery

Fat32 format of my phone, computer finally recognized it as a functioning drive, transferred the ROM over, and flashed it with no problem. Loving MeanROM. Thank you so much for all your help.
No problem
Hi, I'm using the Dorimanx Kernel along with the Ressurection Remix ROM and I was wondering, can I format my internal sd card in any way? The latest version has bugged the storage opting in the settings so I can't possibly manage this that way.

When you say format internal storage are you referring to wiping it via rom or recovery?
If recovery have you tried another kernel?
If rom them why not change rom version??
By the way the word you was looking for was "pardon".

Am I automatically required to use the word pardon? Lolwut.
And when I say format internal SDcard then I mean wiping it clean so that only the necessary folders and files are remaining.

Well your internal SD is partitioned. When you wipe data/factory reset teh system partition is returned to default. You could then wipe the card you want to format when mounted via USB in Windows, all needed files would be re-created on fist boot of factory reset system afaik.
Remember to backup what you want to keep like photos/efs backup folder etc etc.
Reboot in recovery, go into "mounts and storage" menu and format the internal SD card.

Nice, thanks! Will this remove any files related to my rom & kernel?
Will this remove any of my important files and will I have to install the rom all over again? Or am I good to go?
Nope, but all your data and settings will be gone. It's like you started your phone for the first time.

just do it in recovery.
I want to remove files that have accumulated from other roms. In others words like stock, but with custom rom. I like Beanstown106 with SD swap.
Thats a little tricky with sd swap but you will have to painstakingly go file by file and see if it's something you have deleted to something that you are still using. If you have any apps that created a folder and are gone for good then you are safe to delete. But avoid any system app folders and anything that you are still using like pictures, music and so on avoid.

thx for help
I'm installing cleanrom ace 4.9 my goto rom next to beanstown106. No SD swap and I was thinking of formating SD card. Now how do I erase what a factory reset won't delete.
I usually wipe EVErYTahING wenever i flash something new sd card and all just to start from scratch but all i got on sd card is pix and music so its easyily backed up

from recovery, format internal and external sd. that will wipe everything out completely.
I did consider formating from recovery. I'm just scare of deleting the OS and my phone ending up being useless. I did research and what I read it won't. Any advise is welcome THX to everyone.

How would it end up being useless? Its no different than a pc...your reformatting and installing the OS on a clean slate.
I was thinking if I formated the internal it would delete recovery as well. And had no way of installing a new rom. Thx again really help full.

I want to clean up my directory structure. If I format the internal and external sd using recovery (TWRP) to wipe everything, what rom will boot? Will my custom rom boot or will the original verizon rom boot? Will I have to unlock the bootloader again? Thanks.

you will lose all data and need to reflash the rom in recovery...no you will not have to unlock again, nothing performed from recovery will overwrite the boot.img.
I was scared of the losing my OS as well, but it's not that hard. Treat it as two steps. Formatting your sDCard, and then prepping your SdCard by doing a Nandroid backup to your SdCard, and copying a flashable ROM (and kernel if your ROM does not flash a kernel) to your SdCard. Before formatting your SdCard copy anything you want to keep to your computer. I just copy the whole card to my computer.
Reboot and do your data resets and wipes, including internal storage (format data in twrp) Then flash your ROM that you put on your ext SdCard. Your nandroid backup is your insurance. Worst case you boot into recovery and restore your backup.
(But you should still have a working toolkit or ADB on your computer and you can recover from any screw up)
As long as you have what you need on your (ext) SdCard before wiping internal storage, and you only do a data reset and cache wipes and only do 'format data' you will be fine.
