[Q] [i9000] cwm error/cant boot past kernel - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hi,
so i've had the miui rom installed on my GT-i9000 for a while and wanted to switch to a different rom. every time i installed a new rom with clockworkmod, however, it would not work and i had to go back to install miui (which worked). so to fix this i thought i might have to flash a different kernel with odin before installing a new rom. i flashed the GalaxianEE Kernel with odin because the rom i wanted to install (f1 galaxy sII v7) runs on this kernel. so after odin was finished, the phone went out of download mode, rebooted, and then got stuck at the loading screen of the kernel. this happens every time i turn the phone on. so then i booted into clockworkmod to try to install a rom. but when cwm starts up, it shows a page full of errors:
E:unknown volume for path [/data]

with this :

you should be allright.
use the pit 512 file in odin and be sure to tick repartition...

Flash jm9 with odin. Repartition, pit 512. Then flash a stock gb rom, then install cm (or required rom) as per instructions.

Hi
I am not sure what happened. But i had a rom with the ext 4 partition. I thought i would try cm7.1 and it worked fine for about five days. Then it kept crashing.
I wiped my phone to re-install and that's when clockworkmod could not access my phone.
To fix it in the end. I installed darkcore kernel as for some reason it could see my phone. I then install a darky rom all using odin.
created the ext4 partition as it had vanished.
Then installed my kernel and rom and all is well. and even faster.
Running simplicity 1.51 and semaphone kernel 1.80 with ext4.
I am not an expert but this worked. don't ask me why. i just think CM7 caused an issue with the partition maybe. not sure just glad it's working. need my phone.
Hope this might help

Flash your CWM version through bootloader then go into CWM and wipe partition cache and dalvich cache. Reboot into system and all should be well.

[Q] Uknown volume for path /data

When entering recovery mode in CWM I now get this (didn't earlier).
So it seems CWM can't access the internal SD card?
However the phone boots and works properly.
Of course I can't use backup of do any upgrades using CWM now due to this, driving me nuts.
Ideas?

Saurom JVU. Kernel 2.3.6. Didn't think I upgraded the kernel after that though.
How do I get it back working again?
No No my advice was a solution try ODIN another kernel.

[Q] Unable to mount sd card in CWM recovery after restoring from Nandroid backup.

Hi all,
I have gone through many threads and forums here, but cant find an a solution to my problem, so please help me out here:
I was trying to restore from a Nandroid backup to go back to my rooted Gingerbread 2.3.6 XXJVU firmware from AOKP ICS rom that I had flashed earlier. After executing the restore from CWM 5 (which went fine) my phone would not get past the start screen with "Samsung Galaxy S I9000" displayed in white. I tried booting into the CWM recovery (this time it was version 3.0.0) and I could do so. I tried flashing the ICS AOKP rom from there again in order to get a working phone, but I cannot get to the zip file as I get the following error:
E:unknown volume for path [/data]

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1319371
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1118488
From what I gather , I could try the following :
1. Wipe the user cache / data and then try to reebot.
2. Flash the XXJVU firmware from Odin. (I can enter download mode)
Can anyone help me out here? I desperately need to get my phone back running. :crying: I would like to get an opinion before trying any of the above options lest I worsen the problem.

Well this tool worked for me perfectly. I was able to get to Gingerbread XWJVH Ezbase. Thank you very much slpahead20. Also, can I restore from my Gingerbread 2.6.6 Nandroid backup over this straightaway ? I hope it wont cause the same problems as lat time ?
I had this exact problem and the ebase recovery kit worked a treat for me.
In my case I had started with 2.6.6 and installed CM10 then reverted with nandroid restore to 2,6,6 and CMW 3.0.0.5 i thnik.
Anyway I am guessing that partitioning was the problem but all is good again after following ezbase recovery kit.
Thankyou so so much, I had thought i had killed my phone.

[Q] Not booting after restore backup

Hi guys ,
So i installed CM10 on my galaxy s but i didn't like the music player alternatives.
Before installing cm10 i made a backup i didn't had any custom rom installed before cm10.
so after using cm10 for a few weeks i decided to restore the backup from cwm.
I cleared the cache and dalvik cache and restore the backup.
then i rebooted the phone and it hanged on the GT-I9000 screen, so i decided to boot into cwm.
Then i saw this:
E:unknown volume for path [/data]

E:unable process volume! Skipping...

I found almost similar threads, but they had another cause of the problem and the solution for those threads were not clear to me.
NOTE: 1. Sorry for my english im dutch. 2. i dont know a lot about stuff like this so a simplified explanation or tutorial would be helpfull
TY VM guys
With what tool did you make the backup??? Clockwork Mod Recovery???
CM 10.x is based on CWM-Recovery and i think the backup of before your test with CM10. is not compatible with CWM Recovery ...
Maybe you have to get back via odin to the android-version you had before and flash then the backup ...

Don't worry, your download mode is probably OK so it will be OK then
Your mistake was that you've tried to restore nadroid image that was created with different ROM, kernel or CWM recovery version. If only one of these isn't the same, you can end in bootloop, losing the possibility to boot into recovery or to reboot the system.
The solution: you must flash exactly the same ROM, kernel and CWM version like before and then you can restore your nandroid backup without any problem. Here is my unbrick guide that saves aprox. one i9000 per day:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2444308
All the download links are working. Now you must flash anyway any of the stock ROMs 2.2x or 2.3x probably with the PIT file. Be sure to chose ROM with baseband for your region, otherwise you may not be able to use the phone in your country.
