Unable to flash rom - Samsung Galaxy Grand Quattro

Hi,
I decided to flash the Cosmic ROM on my rooted Quattro. I downloaded the rom to sdcard0, but now when I booted into the CWM, I am getting the following menu options:
reboot system now
Apply update from ADB
Apply update from SDCARD
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
apply update from cache
#MANUAL MCDE#
--Apply Multi-CSC..
Applied the CSC code:INS
Successfully applied multi-CSC
When I chose "apply update from SDCARD", I got no options, except the one which took me back me to the CWM main menu. The output was:
#MANUAL MCDE#
--Apply Multi-CSC..
Applied the CSC code:INS
Successfully applied multi-CSC
E: unknown volume for path [/SDCARD]
On the other hand, when I was rooting my phone, I had seen an option of "install .zip", but I can't see it now. Can you tell me what can I do to flash the rom now?
Please forgive me if this is a very silly question because as you may realise I am a noob to this Android world.
Best Regards

bro u need to flash cwm trough Odin

Thanks for replying. Do you mean to say that my phone is not rooted?

CWM and root are diferent things. Install CWM via Odin an then flash the ROM, look at this topic: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2494471

I followed the steps as stated at http://trueandroid.com/install-cloc...-4-5-on-galaxy-grand-quattro-gt-i8552-how-to/
But, I am getting the same menu as mentioned in the first post of the topic.
Edit 1:
At the time of rooting, I had followed the steps as mentioned at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C1kEc7GipYU and flashed with CWM Recovery 6.0.4.5. So, shouldn't the CWM be present there in my phone as it is already rooted?

After rooting the phone will not have CWM, root only give permission to modify the system.
Do this, after flashing CWM (not root) dont let the phone boot normaly, instead boot on recovery (home + vol up), and then go and select option to reboot system then "Disable flash recovery" will appear, select "yes".
The stock rom flash stock recovery after boot so you will lose the CWM, so doing what I say this wont happen [emoji6]

[Q] Help with Fascinate! Stuck on Recovery Mode Screen

Hey guys,
So today, I updated my firmware on my fascinate to 2.2 and it was being buggy so I thought I would do a factory reset. Being stupid, I didn't do it the normal way and followed this guys' guide: (I can't post a link but search for how to restore samsung fascinate to factory and it's the first link)
I followed his instructions but when I got to applying update.zip, my phone couldn't find the file (update.zip) and now it's just stuck on the recovery mode screen.
What should I do? Bring it into the store, or is there a way i can fix this at home?
Thanks for all the help!
Welcome to XDA forums!
1) Is your phone rooted? (if it is DO NOT take it to the store)
2) Do you care if you lose everything on your phone? (Your contacts will be there)
3) What color is the recovery screen?
You should be able to fix anything on the phone at home as long as you can get into Download Mode.
- yes, my phone is rooted but I haven't really done much with the rooting.
- i don't care if I lose everything
- the recovery screen is black and it has 4 options:
reboot system now
apply sdcard:update.zip
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
Rebooting gets me to the same screen, applying the update gets me this message:
E: Can't mount /dev/block/vold/179:9
(no such file or directory)
E: Can't mount SDCARD:update.zip
Installation aborted
wiping the data/cache seems to work.
If you guys need any more information let me know.
are you familiar with Odin?
if so follow these instructions to get the phone to a good place: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1048380
Hey, so I followed all the instructions in that post and I think it worked but now I get this on my screen:
CwM Voodoo Lagfix Recovery v2.5.1.x
- reboot system now
- apply sdcard:update.zip
- wipe data/factory reset
- wipe cache partition
- install zip from sdcard
- backup and restore
- mounts and storage
- advanced
- voodoo
What do I do from here?
Go to this post

Then pick a ROM. Place the ROM on your SD card. You will have to find a way to get it onto your SD card if you can't through the phone. I suggest you use the CommunityRom since it has a Kernel included with it and you wont have to worry about finding one to download.
Once you have the ROM install zip from SD card and you should be good to go.

If you reboot system now, it will boot, but on the next reboot, it will revert to the stock recovery since you have a stock kernel. You'd need to flash a custom kernel to keep CWM. I'd agree with the odin advice, just get the phone into download mode (power off, remove battery, connect usb while holding vol down and having odin open) then follow the instructions here:

What is going on in this portion? The spelling is wrong, which suggests it's indie developer stuff. So did I put it on, or did it come with the phone?
I have previously rooted my phone and, I believed, *unsuccessfully* installed ClockworkMod. I have since unrooted, upgraded the OS via Kies and performed a factory reset.
Is this portion ClockworkMod?
What is it doing?
And why is there a "can't access" message?
That's the stock recovery. I've read somewhere that this "error" happens with other Samsung devices too so, it's ok. In fact, it does apply the CSC.
the 1st part is stock recovery mode.
the second part happens sometime when you deroot and do not flash the stock kernel back on to your phone.

[Q] problems with ClockWorkMod in Galaxy I9100

Hi
I have a SGSII (i9100) which I have successfully rooted (all "permission" files work ok through Superuser). However, I don't seem to be able to install Clockworkmod or, if successful, then I can't boot normally.
When I try to install CWM via Odin3, it installs ok, but the phone then hangs on the triangle screen. I can boot into the CWM screen where it tells me that it cannot mount to system nor to the cache. Any attempt to reboot normally fails (i.e. it hangs on the triangle screen). Thanks to a kind member helping me, I have been able to recover each time by using the I9100XXKI3.ZIP package.
I have also downloaded Rom Manager and tried to flash CWM from there. That says that it has been successfull, but when I then boot to the recovery, it tells me that "E:failed to verify whole-file signature and e:signature verification failed". Consequently, no CWM, just the usual recovery screen.
Am I missing something? Can someone help, please? At the moment I have root, but can't install any custom roms.
Thanks, masterpointer
Try to flash kernel with cwm. That should do it
Sent from my sgs2 running cm9 using xda app
First thing rom manager is not compatible will the sgs2, second thing it's confusing when you say you restore a .zip as this is done via cwm? In order to get recovery via odin you need to be using an appropriate rooting kernel. When you did manage to get into cwm did you wipe cache and delvik etc?

Download cf root kernel and flash with odin, and you`ll have cwm recovery. Don`t use rom manager with sgs2, never.

I did use an appropriate kernel. I wiped neither the cache nor the delvic cache before flashing, and after flashing I can't as the message says: "e:failure to mount \system" and several massages "e:falure to mount \cache\..."

I take your point regarding Rom Manager. but that aside, I have flashed CWM via Odin3 onto a rooted kernel and it does install, but phone hangs (freezes) on the triangle screen. I have tried several versions of CWM an several rooted kernels. They all install and they all freeze!

Boot in recovery, mount and storage, format system, data,cache. Pull battery out, after 2 min put it back, boot in download mode, start odin, flash stock rom, reboot, reboot again in download mode, then root with cf root kernel. Should solve you problem

I don't have "mount & storage" in recovery. Only Reboot System, Apply update from SD card, wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache partition.

You need to install a cwm rooted kernel .
Root + CWM .

yes, but therein lies the problem:
After I use cf-root (with KI4 kernel), the phone hangs (despite Odin3 showing everything ok)! And when i then boot into recovery, it says "e:failure to mount \system" and several massages "e:falure to mount \cache\..." and attempts to "mount" the listed items, all fail.

Clean Slate for those that balls up the firmware .Or need to return to service or decide if its hardware/firmware problem .
Backup data first if phone is working .
Boot CWM recovery

Format cache data system sd card .
Remove battery
Boot to download mode
Open Odin
Install correct stock firmware .
Followed by root .

Thanks for your help, but as I said previously, I was unable to do any of your suggestions because as soon as I installed CWM, I was unable to mount the system and the cache.
However, since then I did some further research and came across a forum where several others had the same problem and one of them tried to use "Speedmod-kernel-s2-k2-21-Odin.tar" and, lo and behold, that worked for me as well!!!

(1) What phone model do you have?
(2) When you flash roms you do not need to root your phone! roms come already rooted you only root if you are going to stay on stock rom and install root apps.
(3) Don't use apps to install roms use recovery PhilZ,Cwm,Twrp
Dont know much about Twrp but in other recoveries it should say install zip not update zip (Twp might be different)
1. I have I9300
2. Ok.
3. I use TWRP application to enter into recovery mode. When I chose reboot/recovery from app menu then my phone is rebooting and entering into recovery mode.
There is only "update" option in recovery menu, other options is:
-reboot system now
-apply update from ADB
-apply update from external card
-wipe data/factory reset
-wipe cache partiotion
-apply update from cache
Thats the stock recovery.
Cwm, twrp, philz recovery are not apps. They are recoveries you must flash that will substitute the stock recovery.
Look into the stickies, philz touch recovery post, etc to see how to flash the recovery you want.

Ok please read the stickies/guides about flashing roms you are not doing it right you need to do a full wipe including system but please read up on how to do this or you will be left without a rom/system on your phone. (And always backup your old rom and efs very very important!! )

[Q] Soft Brick with CWM 6.0.4.7

Hi all, this is my first time posting in XDA and I finally managed to brick my phone. Please help me The story goes as below :
1) I was using Slimbean 4.2.2 stable build 8, with the said CWM 6.0.4.7. and tried to reinstall the rom fresh from the original zip from slimroms website.
2) Did the usual wipe user data and cache partition
3) Wiped dalvik cache
4) I was curious and bravely decided to use the mounts and storage option. Browsed through the list and decided to format /system, /cache, /preload, /data, and /boot. Suddenly felt like something just went wrong, so stopped before the /modem section.
5) Thinking that I finally cleared my phone from all of the previous rom's files and such, went into install zip menu. Tried installing zip from sdcard1 (external).
6) CWM shows my external card properly. Selected the zip file. Wait. Phone reboots into CWM.
7) Thought I missed something, tried rebooting as usual. Directly went into CWM again. Pushed the button combination for download mode, went into download mode just fine.
8) Used CWM boot into bootloader mode menu, phone reboots into CWM again.
9) Tried using the "install zip from sdcard" menu. Phone reboots into CWM again.
10) Checked the log, it says
I:Checking for extendedcommand...
I:Skipping execution of extendedcommand, file not found
I:Can't partition non mmcblk device: /devices/platform/s3c-sdhci.2/mmc_host/mmcl
Right now its 1 AM in the morning, and I have morning shift tomorrow. Please help me people The only probable solution left for me is installing Samsung original ROM using ODIN, hoping that everything will be set as usual again.

Glad to see it worked there was nothing wrong that you did apart from the last option /boot...I suggest you use PhilZ recovery it as a option in settings to "clean to install a new rom" which formats all the correct partitions for you..

I used to use Philz recovery, touch version. But it seems to have something that I don't like back then, so I opted back to CWM. Maybe I should try Philz again. BTW, why does the mmcblk error comes out? Should I be worried. Because when I check the log now, it still occurs even though my phone is fully functional now.
