Soooooooo ... here's what happened.
I was trying to condense my internal and external sdcards from my computer. Once i backed everything up, I formatted one of the drives through windows. Problem is, it COMPLETELY formatted it, including the partition for app data. The phone booted, but with 0Mb for apps, and would freeze up and give me the black screen with lit buttons.
Then I go into DL mode, flash the stock firmware and during the reboot, it gets stuck in recovery with this error:
-- Movi_check Start...!!
checksum confirmation need check_sum[1301305579]
MBR_ChkSum in header : 5.0
MBR checksum : E9A2186CA7912EE54F5EFCB478D44960
MBR Checksum Error

--movi_checking undone!...
update media. please wait
E: Can't mount /dev/block/stl10
(Invalid argument)
E: copy_dbdata_media:Can't mount DBDATA:

I can Get into clockwork, but it won't flash bionix1.7, I get a line 81 error. I can't mount the sd while in recovery any more. I can't get into DL mode again. whenever I try to reboot, it throws me into recovery with that error ... I'm completely lost right now and any help would be GREATLY appreciated.

try booting in dl mode from your pc. Install the android SDK and USB drivers for samsung. The SDK can be found by googling and search the forum for the USB drivers. They in the command line type "<PathToSDK>\tools\adb.exe reboot download. That should get you into download mode. Then flash the stock image and make sure the "Re-Partition" is checked.
I think this should work.

Once i go into clockwork, my computer no longer recognizes clockwork.
Idk if its the same thing, but here's what it says outside of clockwork
I would try and reformat your partitions through clockwork. I dont know if you might of reformated the partions NTFS or what.

Looks like this at least let me get into dl mode ... flashing stock now, we'll see what happens
Good to hear. I bet when you reformated in windows, it formated the internal sdcard as NTFS which Android cant read.
Just to put it out there if you press the menu button from recovery i believe its the same as DL mode .
got it!
First off, thanks for all the tips guys.
I had to flash Eugene's Froyo that doesnt brick with re-partition checked (no other rom would work) which brought me back, and then i downgraded from there.
Just in case anybody else gets that!
did it get rid of the mbr checksum error? I still have it but can flash whatever.
I can only boot to Recovery on my 101. Have tried to update the firmware (always says "update Failed (1)"), Repair System (Chkdsk ALWAYS formats the storage partition) and even Format System does not help. At the end of these steps, Windows ALWAYS wants to format my 101 so it can transfer files to it.
I have tried different cables, computers downloads (YES everything is spelled proper) and every trick that I could think of.
Please help.
SOLVED!!! Had to chage format type to vfat in the recovery menu, then i was able to update the firmware.
Before I make things worse, can someone let me know what did I do / doing wrong. I was on Sinister v8, trying to update to v11 of the same rom, using TWRP 2.3.1.0, i did a full full wipe,(Factory, System, Ex Storage, Internal Storage), copied new files to sdcard, reboot into recovery, Install zip (v11) from SD card, reboot....bootloop.
Then I went to try it again, remembering that i may need to extract boot.img and use fastboot but couldn't even access the filesystem. In TWRP I see a bunch of
Code:
E:Unable to mount '/sdcard'
E:Unable to recreate android secure folder
E:Unable to mount '/sdcard'
E:Unable to mount internal storage.
...
E:Unable to mount /sdcard when trying to read settings file...

I'm able to format data/system partitions via TWRP, but can't mount sdcard to get anything on it. I'm pretty sure i'll need to recreate/format the partitions. Any other steps I could try? (I have a backup from 12/31/2012 on my desktop cpu but can't get it on to the phone). I'm good with wiping everything and starting over with this phone if I knew how.

I know the mount menu, but what do you click after that, you just plug in and it turns on mount? Sorry i don't have the device in front of me, only a Nexus 4 as of now, but I'm not able to mount with N4, might be a different deal with the evo lte.
I had this same issue a few weeks back from Factory Reseting within the bootloader. I connected the phone to a USB port, then booted into TWRP and mounted the internal sd card. Right clicked the drive from within Windows then formatted it. I unmounted then rebooted back into TWRP and the SD card was mounted. If when trying to flash a ROM after this you get a Unable to mount cache message, try doing a Factory Reset from within TWRP.

You plug your phone in to your PC and select "Mount", then select which storage you'd like to mount.
still can't get to work
Still can't mount /sdcard. I can get into TRWP I have gone into Windows (I am on a MAC) and formatted the drive (is FAT32 the correct way?) When I try mounting the partitions, I can't select SD-ext nor Internal, is this why I can't fix this? I was able to send boot.img through ADB, just testing if this works. I could use some help before I have to turn this over to Sprint and pay for a replacement. I tried Chris V's solution but that didn't do anything. can't factory resest in TWRP cause can't load the /sdcard.

i have the same problem but, can you make your fix more precise. i mean,
1. what did you mount via twrp? are those cache, data, eemc, system, sdcard, sd-ext? cause i can't mount them all except cache, i can't even click the box with X.
2. i've also reformatted my drive (sdcard) through my windows 7 and make it to exfat.
and all the time i do the wipe of everything that have to be wipe it always says: factory reset failed!

A better bet would be to post in the forum for your particular device. I'm not familiar with the Flare S3 Octa, but basically the steps should be the same. What you want to mount is the "System" and/or the "SD Card". You can transfer to those partitions. Another good rule of thumb is to make sure you're using the latest recovery available. When all else fails, you may need to do a complete reset via an RUU.

I am a complete noob and got my lesson for messing up with my phone. I have an already rooted SGH i777 and was trying to flash OMNI Rom for 4.4. I wiped emmc by mistake. Although I did back my stuff up, they are no where to be found.I get cannot mount SD card error through CWM v6. I read somewhere that this is resultant of having no operating system in my phone anymore.
My phone is not recognised by computer. But I can access an external microSD card while booting recovery using CWM. Please help me as I am completely lost without my phone. You patience is deeply appreciated.

If that's the case, you should be able to put a rom on the micro SD card and simply flash it in recovery. You may have lost your backups, but if you can flash a rom via the SD card you ought to be fine.
Let us know if you need any more help,
sent from the i777
I'm not clear what you mean by "I wiped EMMC." Can you please describe exactly what you did, and describe the options you used if it was through recovery, which I assume it would have been.
If you put the phone into download mode while Odin3 is open on the desktop, does Odin3 recognize the phone?
FYI: TWRP file browser sees internal memory as "emmc". From the advanced wipe menu of TWRP, exists the option to wipe internal memory.
edit: really annoyed that I am limited to eight thanks at a PC, which has a much more comfortable interface than the XDA app, where I have unlimited thanks to offer my peers.
This is what happened
Dear all,
Thank you for your help. This is what I did. I tried to install Omni ROM for 4.4. I I downloaded the .zip file for the ROM and Gapps package zip and SuperUser zip. I went to CWM based recovery mode and wiped data/factory reset and wipe cache partition and in advanced wipe dalvik cache.( I did not run any wipe script as mentioned in this forum. I would have avoided all this if i actually paid attention and read the correct way of flashing here.)
I then went on to mounts and storage and did format/cache , system, data and preload. But also format /emmc
After that no ROM could be flashed and I could not access any recoveries. I realised my error when I saw the log that No files are found and couldnt open directory.
Update :
My phone is not recognized by Odin v1.85 and I also put a SAMSUNG_UCLE5.zip for SGHi777 given by a friend on to a microSD card and tried flashing that ROM from external microSD.
The log says:
I:Can't partition unsafe device: /dev/block/mmcblk1p1
I tried to partition just to see if it works. This time the log says
I:Can't format unknown volume :/external_sd. I never had an external sd card, but I gather that the system was partitioned in such a way that one chunk is considered external_sd.
Odin doesnt recognise it in download mode. I tried every USB port, changed data cables, tried different drivers available on Samsung website.
Please tell me I didn't ruin my phone. Any help is deeply appreciated.

This is beyond my level of understanding. I'm not sure what block 1p1 is. All of the partitions are designated as 0px where x is a number 1-15~.
I assume you've tried all the variables to get Odin to recognize the phone in download mode. Since Odin doesn't recognize download mode, I don't know of anything else to do but send it to someone with jtag equipement. It'll cost you maybe 40 or 50 bucks, but at least you can get your phone back. The person most trusted in the forums here for this sort of repair is Josh at Mobile Tech Videos.
SOLVED! See 2nd Post
Hi,
Galaxy S II 16GB 2.5 Years old.
I friend came to me with a problem : Waze can't start because it complains no access to sdcard (internal, no external present)
A bit fiddling and I see /storage/sdcard0 is mounted as RO!
I remount as RW, and I can now start waze, but as soon as I use the phone further, the mount reverts to RO.
I try to format it via recovery (philz) but it fails deleted odd named files in DCIM/Camera/cache.
So I try to delete the files myself but it fails.
Next up, I mount usb storage in recovery, and run windows Checkdisk, it finishes while fixing some stuff, the format still doesn't work.
Eventually using Minitool I am able to format it. BUT, now, when I boot android, it says the internal storage is damange, and attempt to format it via Android fails always.
Still, when I boot into philz, and mount usb storage, i can browse it via my W7 PC, copy and delete files freely. So I guess something is not mounted or formatted correctly. I decide to reinstall stock rom with Odin + repartition.
So I take pit file from a thread that aims to increase /data at the expense of internal storage, and I find the stock pit there and use it.
Rom flashes fully, but sdcard still not working.
What I want to do is :
Boot into Recovery and use Android commands to properly mount/map this so the phone recognizes it.
I have linux knowledge, I know how to get around a linux shell and use VI and permissions etc. I also messed sometimes with fstab on a pc to set up mount points, so I am not a complete stranger. I am rooted and need help
Any help would be appreciated.
So, I searched the net for quite a few hours, and found this post :
http://forums.whirlpool.net.au/forum-replies.cfm?t=2147315&p=-1&#bottom
Which solved my problem
I registered on that forum to thank the dude!
This command solve my problem :
newfs_msdos /dev/block/vold/259:3
I knew it will work the moment I saw the 259:3 which I saw in logcat that android cannot format.
Good work finding a fix yourself Hopefully other people in the same situation will find it useful
