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.

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..
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..
Good afternoon, guys.
I'm writing here because I'm completely desperate. Yesterday I tried to update a Galaxy Ace GT-S5830M using a custom ROM. Sadly, I forgot to install the CWM first, and of course, the installation was aborted in the process. After that, each time I entered to the STOCK recovery, it said "E: failed to mount /system (invalid argument)".
I tried to install the CWM, apparently in a successful way but it didn't stay there, I mean, when I reboot the phone I end in the STOCK recovery. The thing is, after "installing" the CWM, I tried to wipe it all, but I got some issues:
1) When doing the dalvik cache wipe I got this: E: unknown volume for path [/sd-ext]
2) Trying format/system I got "Error while mounting /system!" "Skipping format" or something like that.
If I try to reset factory from the STOCK recovery I get "E:format_volume: rfs format failed on /dev/stl11"
I also tried to install a STOCK ROM through ODIN (I used 1.85, 1.87 a 3.07 without any luck) but sometimes I get stuck in "SetupConnection", in other cases the process ends failing while writing the BcmBoot.img (Complete(Write) operation failed), and the likes.
And adb doesn't recognize the cell phone at all.
Do you have any idea or suggestion? I tried it all but I just can't make the cell phone go ahead. By the way, KIES don't recognize the cell phone, don't know if that can change it all.
PS: I can "install" a ROM while playing around in the CWM. It apparently installs correctly but then, after rebooting, I get stuck in the "SAMSUNG GALAXY Ace ..." screen.
Please, help.
Hi guys,
Having a bad time setting up my S7 Edge (international model).
End goal is to have it rooted with a Lineage OS ROM.
Successfully flashed TWRP (3.1.1.0) using Odin3 (v3.12) and had no issues booting into TWRP and looking around.
Issues began when I tried to wipe the internal storage in preparation for a new ROM; I got errors along the lines of "unable to mount /data" invalid directory, "unable to mount /system" etc, and the wipe would fail.
Following another user's guide I formatted my /data partition to ExFat (plan was to then format it back to Fat4, which supposedly fixes the issue), however this froze the phone. I was able to reboot it after leaving it a few hours, however now the phone just freezes on the TWRP logo when I try boot into recovery.
I have reflashed TWRP to no avail.
From what I've read online, flashing a new ROM via Odin might recreate all required partitions (namely /data) ? Issue with this is I can only find .zip, not .tar ROM's as required by Odin.
Have I just turned my phone into a brick ?
Any suggestions on what to do next would be greatly appreciated !
Many thanks,
Pron
