My sister bought galaxy tab and I decided to convert her to overcome ....i did step by step instructions from install guide....and all works flawlesly except CWM, or to be more precise error mounting cache (logs,........)....cant mount cache in cwm setings, cant format, cant wipe.... but othervise phone boots normal with no lags....
what can i do? what will this affect?
i just realized that in voodo control there is no cache in ext4 paritions (on my tab there is)....help me what should i do??

Sounds like your kernel/CWM is incompatible with the filesystem.....either try flashing a different kernel via Odin or Heimdall in download mode or a full restock is your only choice. I've had that happen before and that's how I resolved it.
How it can be incompatible when I use same combo on other tab?
Sent from my GT-P1000
I did full restock and its the same... I did it with the same files I used on my tab...
Sent from my GT-P1000
I finaly solved the problem.... did the full restock with stock rom found in galaxy tab general, installed dip7 kernel trough Odin, installed ext4 app from chainfire.... converted partition with this app ... and checked to see if cache is normal.. and it is... and then installed overcome trough cwm.... weird voodoo enabled lagfix again (it was already on ext4)... checked to see if cache works... and everything is back to normal ...

Hi All
I am currently running stock Android 2.3.3 on my SGS and I have 16 GB internal storage and 16 GB microSD storage.
I want to install Cyanogenmod or DarkyROM and I also want to format the disk using a faster filesytem e.g RS or ext4.
Could you please point me in the right direction? I am not completely noob, I have flashed my HTC HD2 with TyphooN Cyanogenmod v3.5.4 successfully but I am very new to the scene.
Thanks
Mike
If you like a bit more speed, theme manager, and more custom options flash cyanogenmod. But it uses a bit more battery than stock roms and videoplayback is not fully working for some file formats, there are problems with hd videorecording and tv out is not working and also occasional bugs that the device won't wake up and so on...
When flashing a modified Samsung Stockrom you won't have this problems
For filesystem Samsung RFS and ext4 are relatively on par with speed. You won't notice any difference with the bare eye. The only problem with rfs is that it is fat based so it gets fragmented over the time and after a few months of usage the phone is getting a bit slower.
If you want a all in one package I would probably go for darky or any other rom.
If you want a small barebon like system that you can expand with the things you really need I would go for surface .
For flashing there isn't really much to do. Put the zip file with your rom on the internal sd card. Turn the phone off. Go into recovery with pressing volup+home+power and then letting go when phone turns on.
In menu choose select zip from sdcard, choose the rom and install it. Reboot and it should be done
You are very kind chainer1, I was looking at http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S:_Full_Update_Guide and I cannot see where I could format the partition where Android will install, to ext4.
Yes I am worried about file system errors in my current SGS because I think I have ejected it without safely removing it; so I want to format both internal and external SD cards and start fresh.
Q: Can I have Hardcore's SpeedMod kernel with ClockworkMod Recovery installed as per http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S:_Full_Update_Guide in my SGS and continue to run with my stock Androind 2.3.3?
internal and external sd card are just user space it has nothing to do with the partitions the systemfiles are on. the internal and external sdcards are fat, you cant do anything about that. when you install a stock rom through odin or kies, partitions like system, data, dbdata, cache are formatted in rfs. generally if you are flashing a roms, things on internal or external sdcard remain untouched. after you have flashed a custom rom with custom kernel you can do filesystem conversion to ext4. on kernels based of chainfire's you have to do it via chainfires ext4 app. on speedmod via recoverymode i think. but be aware that cm and samsung rom have differrnt kernels. you cant use speedmod for cm7 only for samsung roms.
and yes that should work that you can run speedmod while staying on stock.
and you dont have cwm recovery if you dont flash a custom kernel via odin before. check if there is a tar version of speedmod and flash it as pda via odin. after that it should be done.

This is great. One last question, can I format partitions like system, data, dbdata, cache using ClockworkMod Recovery? I am asking this because I can't test ClockworkMod Recovery anymore in my HD2 because I "without knowing" installed ROM Manager and updated CWM which has prevented me from using Recovery. It says "Invalid boot image".
you can format them. but you likely cant change the filesystem. i guess you can enable ext4 on speedmod in cwm, but i dont know exactly cause i havent used speedmod for ages on gingerbread

If you go to a cm rom like insanity, you get yaffs file system, which imho is miles ahead in terms of speed

Warning for new users of Samsung Galaxy S (SGS) with Gingerbread... flashing SpeedMod as per http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S:_Full_Update_Guide will make your phone not boot! When that guide says "This guide assumes the Samsung Galaxy S already has Android 2.2 installed on it. If the Samsung Galaxy S is already rooted & has ClockworkMod Recovery installed, skip this section." it really does mean that.
Now as for my situation, I have ended up in a rather weird state:
https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-7pw7B9B0glM/TkRh2hXHcLI/AAAAAAAACQo/WZuadkg7W44/s800/11+-+1
I have a SGS with Samsung Android 2.3.4 and TalonDEV 0.4.3 kernel installed.
My goal is to install Cyanogenmod latest Nightly.
What are my options? Thanks guys.
Hi, on my GTAB I have Overcome Hermes Edition. I can't upgrade to Kratos because, when I go to recovery mode, instead of the usual menu there's a more generic "android system recovery <e3>" with many errors like "E:unknown volume for path /efs".
What can I do?
Thanks in advance, regards.

I had this problem too. My solution was to flash the CF-Root kernel via Odin: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=885734
Then you can boot your tab into CWM and flash Overcome. I'd recommend doing a full wipe, just because I had market issues that could have been related to this problem. But, since the no-wipe installs the next Overcome kernel, you won't have to worry about reflashing anything else.
I just flashed to gingerbeard rom from cyanogen 7 (after odin flashing froyo)
from that i am always getting error like not sufficient space.. i am unable to download any app via market. i tried diff version. now i am using darky 10.2. please help me
when using old market.. the download not even starting
are you sure you flashed like u should?
formatted system and all?
my suggestion to you is:
format system, dalvik, cache.
download stock JVQ - http://hotfile.com/dl/122481899/943a689/I9000XXJVQ.rar.html
install it thru odin 1.8 with repartition.
after booting put ur rom on SD and go to CWM and flash it.
tell me how it goes and if it helps.

Hello all. I'm having trouble with a galaxy ace, in that it seems very fussy about which ROMs it will run. Bought it about 6mo ago from Optus Australia on prepaid and unlocked it to use on another network. I tried at the time to upload a custom ROM, but failed and ended up having to re-load it with Odin 4.38 and the only images I could then find, which are these:
APBOOT_S5830XXKPH_CL260130_REV03_user_low_true.tar.md5
CODE_S5830XXKPH_CL260130_REV03_user_low_true.tar.md5
CSC_S5830XXKPH_CL260130_REV03_user_low_true.tar.md5
MODEM_S5830XXKPH_CL260130_REV03.tar.md5
Just recently the device has been unstable so I looked around and found the stable CM 7.2 ROM recently released (cm-7.2.0-cooper.zip) so I grabbed that, installed CWM 5.0.2.6, ran a backup and tried to install it. Device only got as far as the black boot screen with the word Android in uppercase doublespaced and hung.
Booted back into CWM and tried to restore, got the MD5 checksum error. Fixed the nandroid.md5 and tried again, and the device then hung at the initial boot screen for the stock rom (says Samsing Galaxy Ace GT-S5830 or similar).
Back to Odin. Found a recent version (4.42) and a one package ROM, S5830XWKT7_S5830OPPKS6_S5830XWKT3_HOME.tar.md5 and loaded this to the handset. This one gives me an Optus spashscreen followed by the sort of pulsing SAMSUNG text in an infinite loop.
Eventually tried the flasher and ROM I used six months ago (at the top of the thread) and was able to get the phone to boot successfully. Reinstalled the rooting package, reinstalled CWM5 and managed to restore just data out of the advanced backup/restore menu.
So I'm back to where I started, only six hours worse off Has anyone got any idea why this isn't working for me, or any good suggestions of how to proceed?
Cheers,
Alex
Are you sure you are using the GT-S5830 and not the Gt-S5830i ?
This was sent from a Galaxy Ace.
damn, that would be a stupid mistake
No, I'm not absolutely positive. The sticker under the battery says GT-S5830, but from a look at google images the two handsets appear identical? How can I establish for sure?

Use Odin 4.38, download any one package firmware from sammobile with your backup's android version (ie 2.3.4, 2.3.5 or whatever).
Flash it, wipe everything after Flash (from stock recovery), then root, install cwm and restore your backup.
Boot loops are mostly caused when you don't wipe after flashing. Connection issues can be fixed by flashing your region's modem.
Also, restore backups using the appropiate cwm version (backups of cwm5 restore with cwm5)
Cheers. Dunno if I'm being a bit simple here, but I'm only finding 10 most recent FWs here, all of which are 2.3.6 ?
I didn't do as much wiping as you suggest last time though, so i'll give it another whirl and see if I do any better.
I was being simple. Hadn't selected a region.
trying now.
Flash DXKPB 2.3.4 Asian firmware first. If you flash that, it will format all of your partition back to rfs
And after that you can just flash newer firmware like XWKT7 2.3.6 and wipe data. Voila!

To restore a stock rom your file systen to rfs !!!
And all custum rom are ext4!!
Meaning ... Use stock recovery to wipe data causing the system to become rfs again then install cwm and ONLY !!! Restore ! Otherwise if u format it will convert to ext4 again !
U can also use chainfire ext4 app to change file system in jellaxy and then restore.
Take care

Have you installed it through ClockWorkMod recovery?
The steps needed to follow precisely is:
- Install Stock GB Firmware through Odin (You'll get it from Sammobile)
(It would be helpful if you specified the link where you installed the stock firmware)
- Install CWM recovery through Odin
- Boot into recovery and wipe data/cache/dalvik-cache/battery stats
- Install Zip from SD card
- Again wipe data/cache/dalvik-cache/battery stats
- Reboot
EDIT: I guess you installed/updated to GB from this link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1551586
If you updated from Froyo to GB with that link, it won't work because the bootloaders are removed from them. In order for Gingerbread/ICS/JB to work you need to have GB bootloader. So search in Sammobile and install stock firmware from there.
download stock fw from yagyagaire.blogspot.com

Hello camerg,
There can be many indication of the problem that you are facing... It looks like you are from India, so I suggest you to flash this latest official Indian firmware using Odin. Full instructions are at : http://yagyagaire.blogspot.com/2011/12/how-to-upgrade-samsung-galaxy-pop-to.html
After flashing the rom, wait till Odin says PASS and then go to recovery and do a data and cache wipe and reboot your handset. Your galaxy mini should boot fine.
If your handset doesn't boot still then, install CWM using Odin and then flash any custom rom using clockwork mod recovery. Now after flashing the rom wait for few minutes and your handset should boot fine.
Good Luck and Happy flashing!
Hey man, how are you doin'?
were you able to flash it using odin and followed all of the steps these guys informing you and the links given to you.
which one, if you are stuck on the Samsung logo and it doesnt wanna go all the way through, you either go and visit the service center or if you know a repair shop, go there and your phone needs JTAGGING. if your phone is stuck on the SAMSUNG logo.
if you can access the stock recovery mode, install the latest CWM, go to the mounts and storage > select format data, cache, system, and SD-ext. this similarly happened to me. i selected the wipe data/factory reset option but it didnt resolve the problem and it is saying something like E: error cant mount yada yada yada.... i wiped them one by one and worked.
your phone wont be needing JTAGGING if you can access the recovery mode of it. it means that your phone's system (Hardware) has no damaged in it, it is your phone's software. do these steps in order for the phone to wipe everything by doing it one by one
give us a reply if this worked.
Hi
Go and flash a stock 2.3.6 ROM from Samfrimware.com using odin after you get pass sign from odin if you get boot loop clear data an cache from recovery and reboot if you get boot loop flash the file that is same to your ROM with Odin from here like if you downloaded gt-s5570 jpkt2 then the jpkt2 PDA file
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1398797
And partion your SD card to ext4 to be your new data partion and the secondary partion that you must fat if you have a 2gb SD or smaller and if you have 4gb SD or larger select fat32 and the two partions must be primary then pot your SD in the phone and reboot this will make the phone mount the ext4 partion as your phones data partion so if there are a problem with the phones data partion it will make the work again
