So i was playing around with different roms yesterday (tried cm7/9/11) and i must have messed up something when flashing cm11 nightly. After i was unable to flash any rom with any recovery (flashed ok, but then stopped at samsung logo) i tried odin with stock firmware found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1822109
Odin flash went ok but immediatly when phone rebotted, i got errors on /data (fail to mount /data invalid argument) . Now stock rom bootloops and if i flash anything custom, i get stuck on samsung logo.
Also if i try to format /data from stock recovery, i get "E:format_volume: rfs format failed on /dev/stl11)
Any ideas what to do ? It seems that /data partrition is somehow messed up or something..

I just tried reverting back to stock 2.3.5 rom and after I flash it goes to stock recovery.
I get this:
--Wiping data...
Formatting /data...
E:format_volume: rfs format failed on /dev/block/mmcblk0p2
Formatting /dbdata...
E:format_volume: rfs format failed on /dev/block/stl10
Formatting /cache...
E:format_volume: rfs format failed on /dev/block/stl11
Deleting Meta Data
Data wipe failed.
I just hit "reboot system now" and now i just get the Samsung logo bootloop. Tried reflashing it multiple times but end up with the same result.
What device is it?
Seems to be a 5.0 and may be the comon memory formating issue.
Did you flash something "wrong" before you try to revert to stock?

It's a 4.0 US
I think my files may be corrupted. They flashed in Odin and passed, but keep getting problems.
When I flash Steves kernel 3.0 I can access CWM. I then get no errors but can't load my system.

Never seen anybody asking for this issue on a 4.0, we were only a group of 5.0 GB70 owners having faced this before. I do not want to direct you to a wrong way, in mean time waiting for any other advise or remedy, take time to read the related korean GB70 memory problem.

I got the errors to go away but I still cannot access the system. In CWM it says:
ClockworkMod Recovery v3.0.0.5
Checking for ext4 partitions...
Checking /system...
Checking /data...
Checking /datadata...
Checking /cache...
Done!
I have had this same thing happen before but was able to revert to stock firmware.
EDIT: Finally fixed it i just didn't go into recovery until after I flashed everything.
hi
after trying to flash "cm-9.0.0-nozomi.zip" with CWM, my xperia s get stucked in a boot loop. after that i tried to restore my backup with CWM but it couldn't restore /data partition , and i couldn't mount it too. the error is "can't mount /data (invalid argument)" or something like that.
now i can boot to ics but because of not having a mounted /data i can't save anything , and when i reset my phone, it get factory reset-ed.
and i'm using advanced ics kernel 11.
if anyone can help me, it would be very nice.
i flashed a new rom using flashtool and everything seems to be fine.
the CWM in the CM9 is a bit broken
best ist: flash another (any, exept the newest xsx, his CWM is also broken... all another Kernel have a working recovery) Kernel via Fastboot and then work with the recovery from this kernel..
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?
Hi,
My battery ran flat on my I9100 International GS2 I plugged it in and turned it on, it started to boot and then shut down. I left it to charge to 100% and now when I turn on I get bootloop around the Samsung logo. I suspect it's corrupted my bootloader and/or device partitions.
I'm running Stock+Root XXLSJ with Philz CWM 3.00 recovery (based on CWM 6.0.1.5)
When I boot into CWM - I get message: "E:Can't open /cache/recovery/last.log"
When I try to mount /cache it fails with similar message. (I also cannot mount /data. The others are OK)
When I try to wipe cache partition it fails to format it (hangs for about 10 mins saying "formatting", and then reboots my phone)
When I try to factory reset it fails to format /data (hangs for about 10 mins saying "formatting", and then reboots my phone)
So I suspect my /data and /cache are corrupt and need to be recreated.
How can I recreate these partitions?
I thought reflashing CWM might stick them back if they are missing - I tried a couple of different versions. No luck. Same errors.
I thought I'd take the opportunity to upgrade to CM10.1 RC2 - But I can't flash ROM in CWM - it fails with "Installation aborted (Status 7)"
I think I need to flash via ODIN and click the "Re-Partition" option unfortunately CM ROMS can't be flashed in with ODIN! Arrrgh!
So I think I need to flash another stock ROM via ODIN with re-partition option, then flash CM via CWM. It's a bit of a pain, do you think this should work (is that what repartition option does) or is there some other easier/better way?
Thanks

As you've already tried dirty flashing (without wipe) your kernel (which rarely works, but worth a shot anyways), yeah, back to stock via Odin & restore backup or reflash rom/kernel & start again if you don't have recent backup.
Will this work ? It should. One bit of advice tho, I noticed you're planning to repartition.
Don't.
At least not in the first instance. Do a normal Odin flash of stock & see how that goes before you go down the repartition route. Doing that when not necessary seems to cause more bricked phones than every other cause put together.
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.
