I recently tried installing phiremod but I didn't properly format /system and /data. When I try to boot up, I get stuck at the boot animation.
I tried going back to CWR to properly format /system and /data and then reapply the .zip, but when I try to format /system or /data I get an error:
Error formatting /system!
Error formatting /data!
What should I do so that I can format /system and /data?

typically you dont need to format system, you just need to wipe data. what version of Clockwork Recovery do you have?
3.0.0.6 is for CM7 only. 3.0.0.5 and below won't work.
3.0.1.0+ will work on all roms.
Thanks, I was using the wrong version. I'm trying to use winimage to burn the right version to an SD card but I keep getting an error saying "Error Reading File"
Edit: Is 3.0.1.0 meant to only be an update?
I'm getting the same error and my nook is just keep rebooting.
3.0.0.5 - Error Formatting / System!
3.0.0.6 - No error message
3.0.1.0 - Error Formatting / System!
So I used 3.0.0.6 and flash to CM7 again but still not working.

I am trying to format my SYSTEM and DATA under ClockworkMod (bootable sd). But I keep getting an error.
formating SYSTEM
E: format_volume: make_extf4fs failed on /dev/block/mmcblk1p2
ERROR formating SYSTEM
I am using 128mb_CM7_SD_clockwork-0.1-ext4.img
I can not mount System or Data
I can not format System or Data
I am using CWM Recovery v3.0.0.6
I can flash roms from CWM just fine ... but I want to format the system and data first.
Thanks for any info !

Looks like you're using my modded CWM for SD. Check my OPand flashthe CWMdualboot.zip file. It will install CWM 3.0.1.0 to your SD. To boot into recovery. Just hold the home button when booting up. Leave it alone and boot normally. However. You can't just flash any rom to SD. It needs to be from my thread only. Ill have an updated flashable Phiremod rom to SD tomorrow morning my time NYC.

Hi guys, received a VZW sch-i800 from a friend and trying to get it to work. Any relevant searches have led me here, but no suggestions I've seen have worked so far. Tab is stuck in boot loop. I've flashed it with odin and heimdall (versions 1.1 to 1.3.2) with various files suggested, but everytime I get back into recovery mode and attempt to do a factory restore I get the following:
--Wiping data...
Formatting /data
E:format_volume: rfs format failed on /dev/block/mmcblk0p2
Formatting /dbdata...
Formatting /cache...
E:format_volume: rfs format failed on /dev/block/mmcblk0p1
Data wipe complete.
E:failed to mount /preload (no such file or directory)
E:install_application_for_customer: Can't mount /preload
your storage not prepared yet, please use UI menu for format and reboot actions
and then a line of code telling me it can't mount cache.
I was able to get CWM recovery and the device would give me a different menu, but still the same issue with mounting cache. The instructions on CWM mentioned running a zip program from the sdcard, but no zip showed up in the directory when I looked on the device.
Any help greatly appreciated.
I have the same issue you reference. Did you ever figure out how to fix this? Thanks
I'm also having the same issue with my SCH-i800 after getting CM9.1 up and running. I'm thinking (hoping) it could have something to do with me updating CWM through Google Play (from v5.0.2.7 to v6.0.2).
got sch-i800 broke from someone we know

have you had any luck finding a fix for you Samsung table??
I have a Samsung Verizon SCH-I800 table 7inch and have tried many firmware flashs via hiemdall with changes but no success.
Looking for some more information on what I might be doing wrong or is the table broken?????
I tried to flash the ROM Nitrogen [Android UnChained] yesterday, and since I had a ext3 partition on my SD-Card i used his tool to convert it.
After that the ROM was working fine but wasn't recognizing my SDCard. Long story short, I ended up today making a full flash, Stock ROM 2.3.6 with ODIN because my phone was stuck in a bootloop for the recovery.
Now I flashed the CWM with Odin but phone does not boot the ROM.
I removed my SDCard and tried to make a Factory Reset in Recovery and when it tries to format /sd-ext I got the message: "E:format_volume: make_extf4fs failed on /dev/block/mmcblk0p2"
When I insert the SDCard and try to make the Factory Reset the Recovery just go back to the initial screen.
When I try to mound sd-ext it just says: Error mounting /sd-ext! If i choose in "mounts and storage" > "format /sd-ext" it goes back to initial screen, like rebooting the Recovery.
Please help me with that. I think the /sd-ext partition is messed up after I used the tool to convert it "PSN's Ext4 conversion tool".
Also my computer is Windows 8, couldn't recognize phone in download mode, used my friends Windows 7 computer to flash Stock ROM and CWM with ODIN.
And now I formated my SDCard and I have the primary partition as FAT32 and the second partition as EXT3, logical, with MiniTool.
TL;DR
Phone doesnt boot ROM, can't mount sd-ext!
edit:
Format the SDCard and recreated the partition with CWM, now I can format without a problem. Will try to flash another ROM now.
It's weird, when I flash the Stock ROM with Odin, and on the first boot it says: Updating package, and suddenly there's an error mounting /data
edit:
Fixed after creating the sd-ext as EXT4 with minitool and as Primary. Reinstalled the Nitrogen ROM and now my sd works. Phone is back
After installing twrp i tried flashing liuneage os but somehow messed up. Now i am getting the error Unable to Mount /data. I tried changing file format, repair with no luck. Thanks.
The data partition of the stock rom is different and not usable with lineage (I think because of encryption). You have to reformat it at first.
If TWRP can't mount the data partition, you need to flash the stock recovery, format data from there and then TWRP should be able to mount it again. The stock recovery image is somewhere in this forum.
hello i need help solving this issue as soon as possible.
i have downloaded and tried to flash theOne3TOS.v5.0-5.0.6.Aroma but didnt work
my 3T is rooted and unlocked. recovery is Red Wolf version 3.2.1
as instructed in installation guide provided for ROM i wiped Dalvik, Cache, System, and Data and gotten that "Unable to mount storage"
after that i copied the ROM to phone memory,PC see it normally
and went through the installation in Aroma installer but also "Unable to mount storage"
i tried that supposedly solution by formatting and changing partition but didnt work for me
i tried with Cache,Data and System but all the same "Unable to mount storage"
Change FS did work and went from ext4 to exfat and then back to ext4 but it didnt fix anything
and im still getting that "Unable to mount storage" no matter what i try.
