Did you ever manage to fix this problem? I have exactly the same problem on 2 i9100's. No matter what I do it doesn't change. I have flashed back to stock, flashed recovery package and flashed recovery package with pit. Yet after all this every time I do a factory reset/data wipe I get this error message 'error mounting /sdcard/.android_secure'. Please help.
Hi guys,
So it's like this: I was comming from stock KI4 2.3.4 ROM and flashed the BATISTA 0.5 beauty. All went well with the install, but after I played around a little, I decided to change the CSC through that Market app that's both for SGS1 and SGS2. Then it all went wrong.
It got stuck on a bootloop, so I tried doing the factory reset from CWM, but that ended up with the following error message:
Formatting /data...
Formatting /cache...
Formatting /sd-ext...
Formatting /sdcard/.android_secure...
Error mounting /sdcard/.android_secure!
skipping format...
Data wipe complete.
I managed to revert back to stock LPQ, and tried again, but to no avail. I must mention that I don't have an external SD card. So to retrace my steps, here is what I did:
1. Install CF Root kernel (.tar file) for 2.3.4 KI4 in order to have CWM
2. Install Batista, part I and II from CWM using the instructions
3. Change CSC via app, which resulted in a bootloop
4. Wipe data/factory reset from CWM, which resulted in error message
5. Reverted back to stock LPQ.
Can you guys give me some pointers on how I can fix this?
Thanks alot in advance!
Cheers
Having the same problem....so bump!
Don't worry about this error. I have had this from day1. I have since done 80+ flashes without any issues.

Hi guys,
A quick question.. I had some issues after installing Batista 0.5 ICS, meaning that in CWM Recovery, when I tried to wipe data/factory reset i got "Error mounting /sdcard/.android_secure". So I flashed stock LPQ, and went back in Recovery, and tried agan the wipe data/factory reset, and it only displayed "Formatting Complete".
Now my question is, does CWM wipe data does something more than stock recovery wipe data?
If not, can you guys help me to stop receiving that error message in CWM?
Thanks alot for your help!
Cheers

NO its the same .
CWM gives additional wipe and format options .
Error message could be wrong /faulty firmware flash or likewise wrong CWM .
Flash rom again .
Basics of CWM are of course in the stickies .

Thanks JJE! I've tried all manner of CWM installs. Even went back to 2.3.6 KL1, so that i could install its respective CF Root kernel (along with an older version of CWM). But still the same issue appears. However, i found a "recovery kernel", that i think could help with my issue, but i'm not sure if i should flash it, since LPQ is 4.0.3 and that kernel says it's 4.0.2 (gt-i9100_clockworkmod-recovery_4.0.0.2.tar).
Is that safe to flash over 4.0.3 LPQ?
Thanks again!
Anyone? Am I alone in my little thread?
Echo, echo, echo...
You should be able to flash a 4.0.2 kernel over 4.0.3 no problems. Obviously backup first (Nandroid backup, Titanium backup, etc, etc). If something weird like the phone not booting happens, you could try flashing the original kernel again & see if you get CWM back & then restore your backup. Or at worst you might need to flash a stock rom in Odin, CFRoot again then restore your backup.
Obviously if you're having problems like that, as JJE suggested it might be a somehow incomplete flash of the rom in the first instance. It might even be worth trying a clean reinstall of the rom. Have you asked in the thread devoted to the rom if other users have had the same problem ?

On which Firmaware are you now?
as you told in your first post "So I flashed stock LPQ, and went back in Recovery, and tried agan the wipe data/factory reset, and it only displayed "Formatting Complete".
that is what actually required to happen " "Formatting Complete". because it will not take more time since it is fresh rom there is nothing to format any user data..
when is your error reappearing?
Thanks Mistah,
I did try Odin installing the stock LPQ and then CF Root > error message. Then I tried Odin installing 2.3.6 KL1 and then CF Root > error message. However, in stock recovery, i didn't get any error message. It says the formatting is complete, so that must mean that it was able to format succesfully. In CWM recovery, however, if i try to wipe data, i get the "Error mounting /sdcard/.android_secure" message. "Skipping format" and so on..
What do you mean by a clean install?
Thanks Zaheed,
The error comes after i flash CF Root (on either LPQ ICS, or KL1 GB), and from CWM recovery i select wipe data/factory reset.
Formatting /data...
Formatting /cache...
Formatting /sd-ext...
Formatting /sdcard/.android_secure...
Error mounting /sdcard/.android_secure!
skipping format...
Data wipe complete.
In Show Log (from CWM Recovery) it says the following:
Formatting /sd-ext
Formatting /sdcard/.android_secure...
I:Formatting unknown device.
W:Failed to mount /dev/block/mmcblk1p1 (No such file or directory)
Error mounting /sdcard/.android_secure!
Skipping format...
Data wipe complete.
Now I'm on stock LPQ downloaded from sammobile, the Open Europe version.
Any thoughts?
Thanks again for your time, guys!
By 'clean' install I mean format cache, data, system, & sd card then do an Odin install.

I think you dont want to worry about this error, after this wipe are you able to boot into the ROM? were your all apps and user data wiped? then no need to worry...
once again make sure are you selecting the correct matching CF-root for your ROM..
another option : I tried before when I got an error in my CWM was, I downloaded ROM manager (i did not concern to donate the silly bucks to Koush) and flashed the latest touch recovery (note: this will work only with ROM manager, not with CWM Manager)
and selected reboot into CWM from Rom Manager, then it will temporerly flash the touch recovery on your recovery partition, all options in that was working like a charm,
But when you select reboot into from anywhere else, or with Vol-up+Home+power you will be booted into your current custom recovery which was flashed along with the kernel.
regards
When i wipe data/factory reset from stock recovery, the image of Android comes up and that blue interrupted line at the bottom, and yes, the apps and settings are reset. However, in CWM recovery, when i wipe data/factory reset, that image of Android is somehow corrupted, with 3 blue interrupted lines showing up, but no animation. Even so, the apps and settings are reset.
So i'm thinking it has to do with recovery partition.
Anyway, I'll try your suggestion later on, as i'm at work now.
Thanks again, Zaheed! Guys..
Much appreciated!
Hi All,
i think i just softbricked my S3. i was running Omega rom 33.2 and found the phone was unstable. Hence i wiped data, factory reset, clear dalvik cache and etc. after flashing the rom, it got stucked at samsung boot screen.
i even tried to reflash the rom but still failed to boot up. after that i decided to flash stock rom using Odin (I9300ZSDLK2). it managed to boot in but then it got stucked at recovery (failed to mount /system (Invalid argument). i thought it could be something wrong with the /system, i then flash CWM to format /system. obvious i wont be asking for help if that step succeeded. i basically got pawned because i am not able to mount /system. anybody can help me?
Hello,
I'm trying to flash an old Samsung Galaxy Ace GT-S5830i with Cyanogenmod. Installing a new Recovery (CWM, tried several versions for the S5830i) works as expected. But unfortunately I'm unable to access (mount, format) the /system partition from any of those CWM recoveries.
If I go to 'mounts and storage' and try to 'mount /system', CWM says:
Code:
Error mounting /system!
If I try to 'format /system', it says:
Code:
Formatting /system...
E:format_volume: make_ext4fs failed on /dev/block/stl9
Error formatting /system!
I searched this forum and the web for answers, but so far were unable to find a sufficient one. Is this a known problem?
I tried to flash CM 9.1 unofficial port from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2118645 nevertheless. The installation seems to succeed (no obvious error messages), but afterwards the phone hangs at the 'Samsung Galaxy Ace GT-S5830i' splash screen in boot process forever. I guess that this is related to the unaccessable /system partition, right? If the partition is not accessible, then flashing the new ROM must have failed to write data to it as well.
Thanks in advance for any help.
Seems like the phone was bricked. I managed to fix it by flashing the stock ROM using Odin. Afterwards flashing CM 9.1 worked like a charm.
