I have got a major issue go with my S3. I had lost my IMEI number but managed to get it back then over night it mysteriously vanished again. SO I went to install a back from nandroid...this is when it went wrong.
I went into philz and formatted everything.....and this is where i think i borked the internal memory.
I have since tried to
Install Omega v58 and it just sticks on on the start up omega droid walking.
Install stock ROM via Odin but it just hangs on the Samsung logo.
I have rerooted the phone but when i go into CWM to try to apply update zip ( as i read somewhere else to do ) i get the following
E: can't mount /sdcard/update.sip
if I try to chose zip from sdcard i get the following
E: can;t mount sdcard
If I try to mount the sdcard i get
Error mounting /sdcard!
Error mounting /efs!
Could someone please give a total idiots guide on how to rescue my phone please.

I have looked up this problem on both xda and google but found no Galaxy SII specific solutions.
I receive the error "Can't mount /cache/recovery" message when I enter recovery mode. The same error occurs when try to mount every other mounts and still receive the equivalent error. eg mount emmc gives "error mounting /emmc/
I am unable to flash a new rom or even mount the sd card to place a rom on.
I have rebooted the phone multiple times but to no avail. I have also tried to full wipe, cache wipe and format the internal partitions individually through the recovery but it did not work.
Clockworkmod recovery v5.0.2.3
same error occurs on cwm 4.0.1.4
No current rom
Heard people say that by removing the sd card the error is resolved... (will only work if a corrupt sd card is to blame)
Might be able to use internal though
I tried it without the sd card, still same error. Also, the sd card i used before was working on another phone with all files intact, so no corrupted sd.
I would try starting a fresh... flashing with odin etc ... can you access download mode ?

Yeah that version of cwm has that problem. What you can do is copy a rom to your external sdcard, take out sdcard and put in card reader copy rom and put back in phone, and install from zip and then go external sdcard and install from there. Or what you can do is use odin to flash cwm v5.5 which works just fine.
Hope this helps.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
fixed, thanks.
I just reflashed the chainfire kernel through heimdall command script as my odin wasntt detecting my phone
I had this twise thought I was the only one believe it or not on two sgs2s in 2 weeks I fixed by flashing stock rom

Could well help. The recovery.img turned out to be incompatible with my device, giving the same errors.
Hi, Im running Neutrino 2.7 Rom. lately I have noticed a problem.. after installation of neutrino ends (using RomRacer latest CWM) it show me These lines.
E: Can't open /cache/recovery/log
(Read-only file system)
E: Can't open /cache/recovery/last log.
Then if I go to "mount and storage" I can see that my emmc is mounted. and if I try to unmount it it tells me
Error unmounting emmc!
This wouldn't be a problem for me if everything was ok except this...
The rom seem to work fine... it passes to boot screen, loads.. but after some time it shuts down, and in order to turn it on, I need to pull battery off and back.
BUT then it turns and stuck in Neutrino's boot screen.
I searched a lot but I didnt found an actual way to solve this. I think there is something wrong with emmc card (internal memory) cause my sd card is just fine. maybe I need need to reparatition my emmc trough ADB? any suggestions would help.
I'm kinda poor and my parents devorced many years ago.. I dont want to tell my mom that my phone is usless
so please, if any one know what should I do.. please dont be lazy to post an answer.
Any body??
Just need some help...
I'm having the same exact problem! If I figure out a solution I'll send it your way immediately!
Found a fix first download automatic bootloader unlock(search google) then do the automatic cwm installer follow instructions. then, download the flashable touch cwm install via cwm and download the project kitchen rom and install it and should be fine like mine
Hi. Today I tried to be smart and delete some system apps. The phone then bacame unresponsive, so I rebooted it. Now, only the "Samsung" screen comes up. I went into clockwork recovery and tried flashing CF-Root SGS3 v6.4, but when it counts down while trying to mount the sd card it goes to zero and an error comes up. I then tried to wipe daata/factory reset and this comes up:
Error mounting /sdcard/.android_secure
Any ideas on how to get around this?
I'm using cwm v5.5.0.4
Hello,
I have posted this on the general q&a already but i think i can get a bit more help here.
I bought a Samsung Galaxy S2 a few days ago.
It is the international version (i9100).
The problem is, i had it rooted and installed cm9 on it.
Then when i tried to make a backup the file was only 16 mb because the sdcard wouldn't mount in cwm recovery.
When i try to mount it manually in cwm it also gives the same error: Error mounting /sdcard!
I already tried like everything, flashing other cwm, other rom, also the original samsung firmware flashed back on gives the same error, another kernel, factory reset and cleaned the cache.
I don't know what i can do now to remount the internal sd card again.
Even when i try to format /sdcard it gives the error.
The only thing i haven't tried is re-partition but i've heard that it will brick your device since it has the bootloader in it which you will also delete.
I am now running cm10 because i thought when you change to cm10 it repartitions automatically. Didn't help either.
I hope someone can get me out of this problem.

A while ago, I decided to work on my old legend and upgrading it with new custom roms.
After factory reset, I have flashed CM10 rom from here and discovered my Hboot version is 0.43 and not compatible with this rom.
So I found this rom instead and made 3 different partitions as instructed. But I have discovered that my phone have lost ability to go to recovery mode during the process and cannot recognize the zip files from SD card although its still in there. I have reformatted the SD card again with one fat32 to see if its problem with partitioning but it is still having same problem.
I can see the red triangle with ! in it and selected "Apply sdcard:update.zip" which keeps giving me error message "E:can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 (or /dev/block/mmcblk0) Invalid argument"
Is there any solution to get out of this situation?
Thank you for your patience

I have followed this thread and I got an error message saying failed due to low battery. I will just charge the phone for a while and see if it gives same error.
I have done the fastboot recovery method from here and its keep giving me "failed (remote: not allowed)" messages.
my Legend is already rooted and currently on S-off.
I have solved the problem.
It was memory card problem. my legend works after installing CM7 using different SD card.
I am suspecting if its because I have messed up something with memory card while dividing partitions to install a Jelllybean rom,
However the faulty memory card is still functioning well on my pc which made me think there is no problem with it.
