Internal SD won't mount, partitioning SD fails

With help in this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1012263) I was able to get my phone booting again, but I'm still having a problem mounting my internal SD card.
With stock JF6:
1. Without an external SD card inserted, the phone boot loops continuously at the AT&T screen
2. With an external SD, the phone will boot, but it gives notifications that it is able to mount neither the internal nor external SD card.
Using the Onix 2.0.3 kernel I tried formatting the internal SD and then partitioning it. This results in an error and Onix dumps the attached log file.
I think this may have something to do with ext4 formatting on the SD as mentioned in the threads below. The Captivate threads, however, are either left unresolved or the methods don't work on my phone. I'm also not sure how to apply the results of the I9000 thread to the Captivate.

Can anyone offer any insight?

Actually, scratch that. Now that I think about it, I had flashed to stock and then to Cognition 4.3 successfully. It was only after loading music on it the next day that it wouldn't boot. Would that just be some corruption on the SD?

[Q] Backing Up ROM with CWM Issue

Hello All,
I've been trying to back up my ROM using CWM but it always stopped with display like this:
CWM v 5.0.2.7
Waiting for SD card to mount (20s)
SD card mounted...
Verifying SD card marker...
SD card marker not found...
Checking internal SD card marker...
/temp/recovery.log was copied to /sdcard/clockworkmod/recovery.log. Please open ROM manager to report the issue
May i know why is this happening? I used to be able to back up easily before, and the last thing i did was flashing (full-wipe) Chracks ROM then flashing file ICS+Domination_v1.1+Galaxy+Note+UNIVERSAL.zip for the theme here.
Any advise would be highly appreciated, thanks in advance.

are you using CW touch recovery?
it seems that the CW touch recovery isn't compatible with CWM from chainfire
i flash the Redpill touch recovery kernel, problem gone.

Thanks for your input pal, really appreciate it here
Yeah it was quite frustating, anyway once i flashed back Chracks ROM v14 + Jkay 13.6.1 and back up using same method, everything turns normal again.

USB Brick?

Hi,
I am having an issue that I'd hope you would be able to help me with. I flashed CyanogenMod10, and everything was doing fine, smooth performance, reboots with no problems, but then suddenly one day it went bricked. I restored through the SmartFlashTool Method, and got back to the stock Rom with everything working except for the SD card.
I have tried out various stock ROMs and none seemed to recognize the SD card, outputting a message of "SD card removed. Please insert a new one."; getting on to ADB when trying to mount the SDcard I get this message "mounting /dev/block/mmcblk1p1 on /sdcard failed: No such file or directory", and while trying to mount the SD card in CWM Recovery, it tells me "E: Can't mount sdcard", and when I try to mount USB storage through CWM, I get "E:Unable to write to ums lunfile(no such file or directory)", and when trying to mount /sdcard on CWM I get a "Error mounting /sdcard" message... I hope people at XDA would be able to help me since I have been lurking through the forums and internet without any good answer. :highfive:
I was able to mount the SD card through ClockWorkMod Recovery v5.0.2.6, but again, barely at random times when it works, and after installing a ROM those times, the phone usually works for one hour or two and then gets bricked again. I can not have access to another CWM version since I need an SD card to flash it. To install CWM I am using a patched .bin and .fls files in the SmartFlashTool method of unbricking. When the SD card gets recognized, I can even reboot the phone and still get the SD card to be recognized. The SD card problems don't happen until the random bricks after flashing a ROM. :fingers-crossed:
I have also tried using several functioning SD cards of different capacities formatted in NTFS, FAT32 and exFAT with no luck. I am also not willing to go back to stock since it is buggy and lags a lot compared to CM7, CM10 and every other custom rom I have tried. :crying:
Thank you for any help you could provide me, or if you have any answer for this problem,

Yes I did try that last time but I only seem to get a "Can't mount sdcard" error. I haven't been able to get the phone to recognize any SD card on v10a, v20a, nor v20b stock roms.

[Q] help please P1010

I installed cwm 5.0.2.7 via odin 1.6, now it is telling me that error 7 basically telling me it is not the right rom for my device. I double checked and it is. I found a work around erase the get asset portion in the script. The issue is now the file is on the internal sd card, and I can't access it and cwm won't mount my external sd card, to put a modified rom on there. I can't boot into download mode as it just keep putting me back into the cwm recovery screen. Is there a way to access the internal sd card, mount it with a usb cable in recovery mode, or is there a different way to put it in download mode, and download a different rom on to the internal sd card. This is my nephews tablet, and he will be devastated if I can't fix it.

I don't own a P1010
but I think you better restock and follow what is done in this thread:

[Q] cvm recovery can't mount sd card

i installed 10.1 and upgraded to 10.2 on my nook hd. I downloaded the cm 11 recovery and cm11 rom and gaps to my nook to upgrade to kitkat. After i downloaded the cm 11 to my nook, the updater took me to recovery. i installed the cm 11, but then had problems. I realized that I was using the cm 10 recovery , and should have installed the cm 11 recovery before I attempted to flash the new rom. I then wrote verygreen's sd card image for cm11 and it did boot into recovery. when i tried to install the rom, the device said it couldn't mount the sd card. i tried using the cm 10 recovery image and that didn't work either. same message, couldn't mount sd card. I then formatted cache, data, boot, did another wipe and same issue. currently, it takes a long time but the nook hd will boot into cm recovery, but same issue about not able to mount sd card. I checked similar threads for other devices, but I couldn't find any solutions. I called barnes and noble customer assistance and they were totallyuseless. My question is how do i get recovery to mount my sd card?

ditto
I had the same issue on my nook hd-
When I wrote the image to the sd card- I could boot in to CWM 6.0.4.6, from that sd card- but it could not mount the sd card, or find any files on it. so I couldn't flash the emmc version. When I pulled that sd card out, it reverted back to cwm 6.0.3.2 (which worked fine with cm10.1) but again, it still can't find the sd card.
/sdcard is the internal sd and while is mounted and navigatable, it's blank and there's nothing to install from it. (is there a way to copy to it from some other device?)
the other option is to install a zip from /storage/sdcard1 but that does nothing but pop up
E: Can't mount /storage/sdcard1
or
Error mounting /storage/sdcard1

I've been following and using the info in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2600572
I've used both a linux machine with dd and a windows machine with Win 32 disk imager for flashing images.
I've tried a variety of file systems (does anyone know what is the preferred file system for a grossly oversized micro sd card for CM11?).
I've tried to find a newer better version of CWM, and have found references to a 6.0.4.5b but haven't actually found the files yet.
have also tried sideloading with adb, but the device is never found. with either version of cwm
Would be ok moving back to cm10 as well, but as long as it can't find a SD card, I don't know how.
love this little device, would greatly appreciate any assistance.

continued
after much banging of my head against the wall, I discovered that if i let it boot to the 6.0.3.2 on its own, it would let me mount the sd card that had the initial image written onto it.
So i loaded the new cwm zip and flashed it.
pulled the sd card out and had to let it reboot on its own 4 or 5 times before it popped up emmc CWM based recovery 6.0.4.6
..which then let me mount the sd card as /external_sd and I was able to flash the latest cm11 nightly (yes, I'm a glutton for punishment).
I've pulled the sd card out and rebooted...
AND IT'S BOOTING!!!!
...this is awesome.

Success
i changed sd cards and downloaded the recovery, rom, and gapps on the new card. Recovery was able to mount the new card and I got everything installed. Initially recovery aborted the rom installation, so I downloaded another cm10.1 and was able to flash it. So everything is good now.
