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!
Hey All,
Sorry if this has been posted before.
I am currently running paranoid android 4.2.2 and i want to change to sentinelrom v4.80. the phone is rooted, i have done a factory reset, i am using CWM as my recovery system. i have wiped the cache and dalvik cache also but when i try to install the zip file it keeps coming up installation aborted and signature verification failed (i have enabled that)
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Paul
Hi,
Did u try to toggle signature verification off? It's in CMW -> install zip from sdcard -> toggle signature verification. I'm running ClockworkMod Recovery 6.0.1.2.
I don't know what in did but it seemed to have worked. Froze a few times to begin with but seems OK now. Thanks for the help!
Hello,
I'm a relative NEWB with a 16GB Nook Tablet. I have been installing CM ROMs successfully for several months now. I always follow the same process. It suddenly started failing to install the ROM which I download with ROM Manager. Here's the process and the failure:
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
wipe Dalvik Cache
install zip from sdcard
choose zip from sdcard
[For example, choose:] - cm-10.2-20130824-NIGHTLY-acclaim.zip
-- Installing: /sdcard/cm-10.2-20130824-NIGHTLY-acclaim.zip
Finding update package ...
Verifying update package ...
Installing update ...
E:Error in /sdcard/cm-10.2-20130824-NIGHTLY-acclaim.zip
(Status 0)
Installation aborted.
It does not matter which ROM I try to flash, the result is always the same. However, I can install a gapps zip package. I don't have a clue what is going on. Can anyone offer some advice?
Thanks
What version of Recovery and ROM Manager are you using?
You might consider using SD-based Recovery to flash the ROM updates (e.g., http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=43326042&postcount=123).
Also, you do not need to do "wipe /data & factory reset" when updating between build versions based on the same Android OS release version.

Thanks for the reply. CWM Recovery is 5.5.0.4. ROM Manager is 5.5.3.0. I will try your suggestion of an SD-based Recovery.
BTW, I tried installing CM 10.1.3-RC2. It failed with CWM with the same error. Then I tried TWRP 2.6.1.0 and the ROM appears to have flashed OK. However, after the flash, TWRP reports: E:Unable to mount '/bootdata'. Not sure what that is all about. If I do "df" the partition seems to look right.

To flash CM10, you need a CWM version newer than what you have -- i.e.,versions 6.x.y.z. which can be found at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1640958 or http://goo.im/devs/succulent/acclaim/recovery (note that there are different CWM images for emmc vs. sd recovery).

You are the man! Upgraded CM Recovery to 6.0.2.9 and voila! I am able to flash the latest nightly build with no problems at all. Even the "unable to mount /bootdata" went away.:victory:

Things to try - Check md5 of your download, try using another recovery, try a full wipe, finally flash stock with odin.
