Hello.
My s3 recently stopped working and it ill only go up to the samsung logo and stay there. (this issue happened right after the battery was completley drained using the led...)
I've tried countless times to reinstall the rom i had, update it to a newer version of the same rom and even go back to an old version i still had on my SD card. I used the Archidroid 2.5.2 at the time and with the setting f2fs (and agni kernel if im not mistaken)
since then, i tried to change the file format back to ext4, ofcourse with full wipes, and change any other possible configuration on the setup of the rom. After all of these tries failed, i assumed i could just go and use Odin to install some stock firmware (following some advices i found here on the forums), and everything seemed to worked perfectly. Odin recognizes the phone, and it finishes the flashing with a big green happy PASS!. However, the phone still sits there at the samsung logo and just chills...
Tried to flash different stock ROMs and even tried to flash the rescue firmware from this link (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=30087735&postcount=6) which again, seemed to work, but stayed in the samsung logo.
i kinda lost hope, although it seems the phone still can be saved (can access recovery and odin)...
i'd really appreciate the help!
also, i am kinda noobie in this and might need simpler words to understand.
Thanks alot!

Do you have an efs backup? (AGNi makes them when you flash it but since you formatted /data/media multiple times I assume they are gone).

Do you have any way to mount the external SD? (E.g. an adapter, or by flashing a custom recovery and mounting it that way). It's possible that you have an efs backup on it.

Not practically. The efs folder is kind of like the social security number of your phone so every folder is unique.

Hmm, so it didn't boot even when it was 100% stock? You said that you got those error messages in stock recovery but then a few minutes later you said that you had CWM. If so, then you might need to. I found some guides but I can't really vouch for them since I've never had to restore /efs like that, so following them would be at your own risk.

I am trying to reinstall KaosFroyo on my HTC Eris via ClockworkMOD and I am getting a error that says
E:Can't symlink /system/xbin/arp
E:Failure at line 65:
I have tried multiple other roms and I formated my SD card and wiped everything. I am thinking I need to do something with adb or flashing another clockwork recovery?? I am not sure
I have included the ClockworkMOD recovery.log.
Any ideas??
Search is down or something. I had the same problem they told me that Clockwork and the eris dont get along. Long story short I tried many different things and eventually the phone just completely bricked. I would say check the checksum on the rom to make sure it doesn't have any errrors and let me try and find my post about it and see if we have the exact same issue or not
Edit: Looks like our issues are slightly different take a look through there maybe?

As a rule, Clockwork recovery is not recommended on the Eris. It causes many problems, and yours may be one of them. Amon recovery is much safer. You probably need to search about replacing Clockwork with Amon...I think there is actually a thread out here to tell you how that's done.

Could be just a bad download. MD5 the zip file on your sdcard.
Ummm actually technically this is wrong section to. This isn't Q&A section.

May be a dumb question, but did you wipe data and dalvik before trying to flash a new rom?
You said you were using clockwork before (which I know very little about), but do you have any (amon ra created) nandroids that you could flash? Perhaps you created one when you first rooted.
If all else fails, try unrooting and rerooting your phone.

I would say the SD card may need to be mounted and formatted (or possibly unformatted) in recovery if the ROM you are trying to use requires it. That is, before you flash the new ROM. I would say though that you will lose data when you prep the SD card from recovery
ok i swapped out with a new sd card and still same issues. It gives an error about busybox so i want to know how to use adb and flash busybox can anybody tell me how I can do that?

OK, what ROM are you trying to Flash and what did you flash over? I am using KaosFroyov34...busybox is included. I think a previous poster is correct...I think you need to do a full wipe, a Dalvik wipe and them reinstall your ROM.

Well, first you need to know what you need to get rid of, then you need something like root explorer to mount R/W and delete the files. I'd be very careful about doing this, and someone more experienced than me will have to tell you how to do it better/faster. My guess as to why it's full though is flashing a different ROM over another (say Kaos over Tazz) without wiping. Because different ROMS use different install scripts, you wind up leaving leaving files that needed to be deleted. When you go from one version of a ROM to another of the same ROM, the scripts usually knows what to delete, replace, etc.
So I've got a wifi-only Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1" and I have gone through the rooting guide. The guide includes ClockworkMod (CWM) v4.0.0.4, which for the most part, works just fine. I'm able to flash custom ROMs, make backups, and restore backups.
I'm having a problem mounting USB storage from CWM however. I go to the "Mounts and Storage Menu" and then select "mount USB storage." When I do this, I get a message saying:
E:Unable to open ums lunfile (No such file or directory)
Any ideas what this means, and how to fix it? Is anyone else able to mount USB storage from their CWM recovery image?
Anyone can correct me if I'm mistaken...but I believe the reason we see this error is because the Tab is not like phones and the internal storage works differently, there is no sd card so it has nothing to mount. I believe it works more like a hard drive. (MTP is different although I know nothing about it) so CWM produces this error but it is nothing to worry about.
More knowledgeable persons please expound on this, I would like to know more too...
Appreciate the insight -- I hope someone else can expand. To expound on that though, how do you transfer a ROM to the SDcard if you wipe /data and don't already have a ROM available on the SDcard?
I'm worried that I'll accidentally wipe data & cache, but will forget to double-check that I have a ROM on the SDcard partition.
Not to worry, wipe data/factory reset in CWM does nothing to the sd card partition everything will still be there including the ROM file you transferred over.
However factory reset from stock recovery DOES wipe sd card data. So back up your stuff if you do this.
Oh and always make a backup in CWM so you have something to flash in case things get crazy
I'm just trying to plan for a worst case scenario -- let's say all the storage volumes are completely wiped, and all you can do is boot into CWM. On my T-Mobile G2 (Desire Z / Vision), you can mount USB storage, copy over a ROM, and install it.
Looking for some sort of equivalent ability on the Galaxy Tab.
Hmm, let me boot into CWM and see if the computer still can read the tabs storage if I plug it in from there...
Also there is always an ODIN flash.
Nope no dice, i suppose if you were in that scenario ODIN would be your option. I'm not sure if there is an ODIN flashable of stock 3.1, I know there is a .zip i always keep it for emergencies.
Sorry I miss read, there is no ODIN flash.
Would the worst scenario is when you don't even have CWM on the tab?
ODIN flash would probably be your last resort. I am wondering if anyone has run into the worst scenario and got the tab back to the factory stock ROM.
your are right FilltheVoid. if things go completely wrong and you have no backup or rom to flash. Odin will be your savior. You can flash stock roms with Odin bro.

Hey Task, do you know where I can find a stock ROM for pt7510 that is ODIN flashable? Ya know, just in case.
Well anywho, I think the point of this is, If you read and follow directions carefully, make backups, and read some more, you will not ever be in this scenario. And there are good, knowledgeable people in this forum that are willing to help you in a bind.

Even though the question is to Task, i will answer it with whatever i know.
1. http://droidbasement.com/galaxy/sys-backup/hc_31/ - But i read somewhere that this is the ODIN flashable stock of I/O tab
2. ROM | 001002-P7510_KME_Restock.zip - ODIN flashable Stock UEKME ROM
Or you could do:
Boot cwm, then
adb shell
mount /data
mkdir /data/media
adb push stock.zip /data/media/
and flash with cwm
Voila !!!
thank you!
you just saved my tablet! thank you.
i managed to brick my tablet (or so i thought) by an interesting combination of things.
first, i installed Alegro graphing calculator. then, i encrypted my tablet. then, i tried to backup my apps, using titanium backup, and whenever it got to alegro, it crashed superuser, market, myapps, googleapps, calendar, acore...a ton of stuff. so i told titanium to ignore it and backup everyything else, and then i went to the market to try to uninstall. no dice..it force closed everything again. so i went to the settings and tried to factory reset. i went through the steps three times, and nothing happened...the tablet rebooted and was the same as i left it.
so as a last resort i went into clockwork and wiped data and cache. tried to boot, and it was stuck on the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 screen.
rebooted..same...waiting hours...same.
i could still boot to odin and recovery, but i didn't have a zip on my tablet, so i couldn't flash anything. i never thought of using adb to push the zip! but this worked perfectly! (after installing the drivers again on my computer).
thank you thank you thank you!

Hey 2 questions about the restock ROM:
1) Can it be flashed over In Paris V5?
2) Can it be flashed with CWM?
Update: answered this myself: Yes it can be flashed over in Paris, and no, it has to be flashed with Odin.
I still have a question though: This is not CWM, but is it the stock recovery or do I need to flash that too? Sending the tab in for service (newton's rings)....
This is what I was looking for. I have a slow internet connection, and Clockwork was still working, but nothing else was. Flashed Task's ROM v8... it's looking good so far... You rock, dude.
This worked for me this afternoon! Was stuck in a constant reboot after thinking that the samsung update would be a good thing. Gave thanks!!! Ordered the 30 pin adapter and now dont even need it. Will come in handy though I am sure.

This maybe complete rubbish, but I can report a similar issue with the Galaxy S2.
When I install a new ROM, I usually do this:
1/ factory reset
2/ wipe cache
3/ wipe dalvik
4/ Mount ALL the folders, then format each one
When I do this and try to mount USB storage, it says the same error message.
If you then fire up ODIN and push another kernel to the phone, everything works fine. I know its something I am doing wrong, but no idea what!
For you, the solution is to use odin to push another kernel across.

Hello Guys,
i just tried to install ICS. I did everything right, the big problem was, i moved the CWM backup to my pc ... i don´t know why :-/
I formated my device and tried to install the ROM. The next problem is, it doesn´t install. Everytimes I start the install process, it shows up an error "Status 7" in CWM.
Now i´m not able to backup my device, can´t connect to it via USB and can´t install ICS.
Is there any chance to repair my GS2? Is there any tool that is able to connect to it´s USB storage in download mode? I mean, Odin is able to connect and write data, why no other tool?
Thank you alot!
GR
Are you able to boot still in cwm recovery?
If yes, then copy youre backup on a sd card and try to recover it.
Which version of ICS you wanted to flash?
Status 7 usually means you're trying to flash something meant for another device.
Yes i´m still able to boot in CWM.
The problem is... I don´t have a MicroSD. And i don´t have a card reader, too...
It was this version: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1574718
(ICS 4.0.4)
Damn ... is there no other way? Isn´t it possible to connect in download mode? :-/

Let's start with the basics. What model phone do you have? (label under battery) Because that link is for an i777 ROM, and this thread is currently in the i9100 forums.
Then try to borrow a MicroSD Card and a card reader from someone.
I think it's the easiest way.
I´m currently waiting for my MicroSD, i bought yesterday.
Before i´ll download a original firmware, i try to backup.
My model is the i9100, unbranded. Damn... it´s mentioned nowhere, is it?
Do you know any ICS (as stable as possible) for i9100?
Thank you guys

What's "mentioned nowhere"? That the ROM you installed is for the i777? Sure it is. By sheer fact that the ROM is actually in the i777 forums, and NOT in the i9100 forums.
EDIT: whoops, accidentally thanked your first post.
Arr, the only place i didn´t look...
indifferent, i´ll try to backup and then look for a 9100-Rom.
Hello again.
I just got my SD card. I packed the backup in "ClockworkMod\", but i think this is the wrong folder.

What´s the problem? It´s a GSII Version of ICS... why comes this message?

Since you tried to install an i777 ROM, your build.prop may have the model specified for that phone instead now, instead of for the i9100. Check that.
If I'm right, you can either fix that yourself if you have root, or re-flash a stock i9100 firmware first.
Damn :-/ Yes my phone is rooted. But what helps me this? My phone is bricked at the moment. The only access is the external SD...
Can i also fix it by appling a backup? Where do i have to place the backup so CWM detects it?

Can you reboot to recovery, plug it into your computer via usb, and start an adb shell? If so, you can try pulling build.prop to your computer, editing it, and pushing it back.

Yes, this may also work. You can put it in your external SD under clockworkmod/backup, but you'll have to mount your external SD when in recovery mode before it will be visible.
I put the folder "2012-04-01.20.34.24" into "\Clockwordmod\backup\2012...".
In Recovery Mode i don´t have to mount the sd card. Its already mounted.
But always i select "Restore" it shows "No files found." :-/

A workaround worth a try do a nandroid backup then locate the CWM backup folder and copy your old backup in that .
jje
Or, mount usb storage in recovery, and that will give you access to your internal sd. Then you can copy the back up to /clockworkmod/backup, and it will see it.
How should this work? http://code.google.com/p/android-roms/wiki/NANDROID_Backup "Alt + B"? Since when has a handy such keys...? Or misunderstood I this?
I just updated CWM to 4.0.0.15. But it doesn´t find the backup :-/ (yes i mounted the external sd, if this was "exmc" ...)

That page is likely deprecated with information from phones with hardware keyboards, like the G1, or the Droid.
Which keys have i to press then?
Hello!
My GT-i9100T is my first android phone, I've been using for two months and I love it. This afternoon I decided to root my phone (I have never rooted or installed a custom ROM on this phone before) using this method, and I downloaded all the files and followed all instructions. When I selected 'apply update from external storage' it took a little while and gave me this error: 'E:unable to mount /sdcard (No such file or Directory)'.
I searched online but I couldn't find anything helpful but I did factory reset my phone and yet it still didn't work. Can anyone help me?

i think u should have put the files in ur internal sdcard not external, please check by doing so and see
ps - alternatively u can put the file's in ur cache folder and select 2 install the same from cache in recovery and see
Thanks for the swift reply!
I don't have an external SD card and I've never used one.
EDIT: I can't do that because the cache folder is inaccessible.

then try the alternative ie cache folder option and see, since the cwm .zip does require an extsd since thats the one giving u the error while updating if i am correct

You need a physical external sdcard in order for this to work.
If you're in need of root just flash a CF-Root kernel..

Why? And you didn't exactly help by giving him the wrong information. Quite the opposite in fact. On the plus side, you've been thanked not once, but twice for giving that wrong information. Excellent.
help.

reflashing to the cm-7-team-b-beta1-signed.zip does not remedy it

What SD Card do you have and what class? Sorry I fell asleep but im back on. Also what GB Tablet do you have and what are you running? Can you still boot up and is there anywhere you can get to factory reset ( clear data ) cause thats whats looking like your problem. I had that problem on my HTC Hero CDMA I freaked and then I cleared data and rebooted back into recovery and error was gone

I did the exact same thing with rom manager on the NT. :< There should be big flashing warning signs that say "DONT DO THIS IF YOU'RE TIRED"
I wound up having to ADB to the device, completely wipe the partition table with gdisk, then rebuild it. However, the scripts to acutally format it werent avaliable anymore (Dropbox account was banned) so I then had to use the Ubuntu restore method to go from there.
I did loose the ability to run the B&N Factory ROM (wont pass registration anymore)
but at least the tablet is useable.
Dont give up, from what I understand, unless you physically BREAK the tablet in some way, its nearly always recoverable!

Ha! maybe im not that dumb after all. although the ubunut failed, the tool here worked http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1663836 but /slap! forhead/ i still have the cym recovery img on the unit ... so i think i will try this:
go back and set up the SD cm7 alpah boot that worked to boot the SD
boot in and update rom manager
install stock recovery img
then try the new link again!
as for the stick:
Sandisk - its pretty generic and came with my htc glacier...
16 bg nook table
it came with 1.4.1 image
put on cm-7-b-teamb-signed
installed few apps, *tried* to start installing gapps to get gplay and the google framework
then i got a splat
then i flashed it back again
seemed ok
it wasnt
it locked up
powered down
reboot = duuurp
after that i did not READ... booted into recovery and selected (wait for it) reset.. and cleared the user data.
after that i swore enough to get people to come to my office and look concerned... took advil... read.... cried... threatened...
now im here

Personally. I wouldnt mess with Rom Manager. That's what bricked my tablet, too.
Just make an SD card with the CWM bootables (I posted a link in your other post about noob questions) and install roms/etc from there.
I think that's what's killing my gnex!
*This Jedi master be a Ninj-ESS*
hrm i missed it? (the other thead link to bootable cym)? i did try to repartition once on another bootable build but the cym did not like it... even after reinserting it
i had that problem before because i accidently formatted the 1gb user partition while in cm7...
this link saved me. try it out!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1513583
still bricked. *tried* to use rom manager to install the "stock recovery" but it still boots to a "cardboard box".......
starting to think the partitions are whacked...
what is the best partition recovery guide ??
looking at this link...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=22157605&postcount=25
but the bootable cwm is not loading...grr
If I am correct you are still trying all of this from inside a bootable cm7 card, right?
Instead, try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=25786947
With that hopefully you can get a bootable cwm recovery image.
From there you should be able to install CM7.
I CANNOT STRESS ENOUGH. DO NOT USE ROM MANAGER.
I honestly think it is most of your problems
