[Q] Samsung Galaxy "can't mount..."

Hello everybody,
first of all: congratulations for this helpful and amazing forum. I love reading and testing the roms which are offered here.
I just tried the Hybrid v 5.0 rom - the best i ever tested. Everything was smoothie and very harmonic.
Unfortunately it was not possible to write emails and to connect with Samsung Kies.
So i decided to use the known 2.3.4 version which works satisfiying.
To prepare the phone i made a wipe data/factory reset.
After reseting the phone shows me - when turned on and booting - the logo of Galaxian Kernel and the blue "loading beam" with the notice "is loading now."
But it doesnt quit loading.
The cwm shows me:
"E: can't mount /cache/recovery/command
E: unknown volume for path [/cache/recovery/log]
E: can't mount /cache recovery/log
E: can't open /cache/recovery/log
E: unknown volume for path [cache/recovery/last_log]
....
"
Maybe some important datas are erased?
I really don't know what to do now.
Could you please give me some helpful advices (please use the easiest words because i'm no expert...) ?

For connecting kies you just have to install one patch, it will connect.
Regarding resetting, some files i deleted for utilizing space, which required for factory reset thats why you getting that.
let me explain why i delete that files, see when someone switch ROM ever developer want that user do fresh install but usualy people are lazy so they simply flash rom on other ROM, by deleting that files i conform that if someone want to change ROM then he had to flash first stock rom then other ROM so atleast he didnt got error or didnt able to claim that he coming from that ROM and so he getting this error.
btw for both issue why didnt u asked for patch, its easy task for me to make cwm for that and you able to connect kies and able to do factory reset.
Thank you very much for your fast answer.
i didn't thought about asking, sorry..
That's right. Before flashing your great rom i used the clear 2.3.4 firmware. I did the whole procedure as described here. Use a stock rom and than the other rom.
What could i do right now?
My phone doesn's start. "is loading now... " is written under the logo of Galaxian Kernel. The phone doesn't boot, isn't known by the PC, so i don't know what to do....
Boot to recovery and try wipe almost everything you can, factory reset, cache, dalvik-cache.
I remember one firmware gave me some errors about mounting and wiping stuff always fixed it.
I tried as you proposed but following message appears:
E: unknown volume for path [/data]
...
E: Unable process volume! Skipping...
Checking /cache...
Doesn't that mean that the necessary datas aren't there?
After wiping of all proposed things i tried to restart, but the blue beam under Galaxian still stops when it almost reached the end.
The main problem was Kies.
Phone couldn't be connected, so i couldn't fix the problem.
I just had to update the drivers so that the PC could connect to my little friend. Now it works
Thanks a lot for your help!!
Hi,
I've got the exact same problem.
Tried to flash Galaxian over Odin because my phone was in a boot loop. Then it just stuck when the Galaxian kernel "is now loading" screen appeared.
I can access Recovery and wiped data aswell as cache partition- then I just tried to flash Galaxian a second time with Odin but I have the same problem with the "is now loading" screen now.
Plus I updated Kies drivers.
What can I do? Im really not that experienced but I really NEED my phone!

[Q] E: Failed to mount / efs(invalid argument)

Hello All,
I have a Samsung Galaxy I9070.
I have rooted the device from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2087424 and it worked fine.
After that i tried to Flash a CWM 5 XX version,
1. I wiped all the data/reset
2. While flashing it from "Apply update from external storage" the device got powered off.
3, I did a hard restart to enter recovery mode and then CWM showed up and stared to blink.
4. Now i got a error as E: Failed to mount / efs(invalid argument).
5. i have restarted the device.
6. i am getting a error as Unfortunately,the processcom.google.process.gapps has stopped.
Now i thought to flash a new rom from SD card and then it may work.
1. i flashed cynogen Mod 11.0
2. after that it is just stuck at the starting screen of Cynogen Mod logo.
Now i have restored the Jellybean from Odin and still i get the same error as Unfortunately,the processcom.google.process.gapps has stopped.
and also in the recovery mode E: Failed to mount / efs(invalid argument). this error stayed.
Please help me to get the device back to working.
Just an update-
1. i have used ODIN and installed Ginger bread on it.
2. The phone got turned on and working.
3. I am not able to connect to Wifi.
4. But when i go to recovery mode, it still shows that error as E: Failed to mount / efs(invalid argument).
5. I think this this EFS file is corrupted and so Mac address of the device is corrupted.
How do i fix this error. Please help. i have not taken a backup of this efs.
Thanks All.

Try this maybe.
I have the same problem.
I wanted to flash a new rom and and deleted some unnecessary folders and I deleted some hidden folders.
I can enter on recovery/downloading but I can't flash any rom.
I've flashed a stock rom (JB) via Odin and it restart the device on setup screen but it gives 2 errors (I'll post the images).
I've flashed another stock rom (GB) via Odin and it restart the device on the home screen but whenever I go to recovery it shows me the the message E: Failed to mount / efs (Invalid argument)
I've tried some methods I've found on the forum but they didn't work.
The link posted don't work for me.
My phone connect to 3G and don't shows the error "Baseband and IMEI unknown / Baseband unchangeable".
I didn't find any thread on the forum with the answer for my problem.

[Q] Completely stumped - Bricked phone? (Odin fails to flash, CWM showing error)

Hi everyone!
I have a Galaxy S3 4G, I9305, and I have no idea what's happened to it. To make it short and sweet:
I can boot into Odin, it has triggered the counter.
To be exact it says:
HTML:
ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME: GT-I9305
CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD: Yes (3 counts)
CURRENT BINARY: Custom
SYSTEM STATUS: Custom
I tried to flash a new CWM tar-file, as well as TWRP and a Sammy-ROM (can't remember which one), everyone gives it a FAIL in Odin. The program itself shows "Added!" when I connect my phone, so it's something. Still, it fails me on the tar-files I've tried, no specific reason, just a fail.
When I open CWM, I'm greeted with these messages:
HTML:
CWM-based Recovery v5.5.0.4 : : CF-v1.5
E: Can't open /cache/recovery/log
E: Can't open /cache/recovery/log
E: Can't open /cache/recovery/last_log
E: Can't open /cache/recovery/last_log
These messages will come up every time I enter an option like advanced, mount etc. If I try to select "install zip from sdcard" I get "Can't mount /sdcard/", and if I try to install zip from internal sdcard, the phone reboots.
If I try to wipe the phone, it says "formatting /data..." for a few seconds, before it reboots.
Is there any hope at all for this phone, or is it completely bricked? Could it be hardware related?
Thanks to everyone replying!
Try to flash latest version of TWRP and format everything again.
Thanks for your reply!
As I stated in the post, everything I flash gives me an error - TWRP as well
Anything else I can do?

[Q] Bricked, no download mode, odin won't see phone

Hi, I hope some can help me
Here´s my story, the phone is a Galaxy Ace GT-S5830m, that had GingerBread 2x, I wanted to take it to Kit kat 4x, then I downloaded the CWM 6.0.4.6, but, because of my ignorance, I didn't downloaded the KitKat rom file at the same time, I successfully installed the CWM file, but after this the phone won't boot. The only thing it does is:
Enter recovery mode by pressing Volume Up+Home+Power
Show the Samsung logo
But I cannot make it enter download mode, if I hit VolumeDown+Home+Power it just shows the Samsung logo
If I connect it to the PC via USB cable, the PC won't recognize the phone on the USB drivers list. I already downloaded the Samsung USB drivers
When I enter recovery mode I see the four options for
rebbot system now
apply update from sdcard
wipe date/factory reset
wipe cache partition
And below that I see --Appling Multi-CSC --
E:failed to mount /system (Invalid argument)
E:failed to mount /system (Invalid argument)
What can I do? I'm I done? Please help! Thanks!

Hi Raakib, thanks for taking the time to answer! But how can I put the cwm v5 in the phone if the PC doesn't see the phone? Sorry for the basic questions? I'm new in this things. The first time I did this I pluged the phone to the PC and I was able to see the memory card in the windows explorer so I only did a drag and drop, but that doesn't work any more, please advice, thanks!
just do 1 thing download the recovery file on your pc and then plug your sd card using any sort of card reader and then copy the file to memory card . Then insert the memory card in the phone and go to recovery and flash it. Hit thanks.

if u want that your pc should recognize your phone, take it to download mode and see it gets detected in odin or not , if not then swap the drivers maybe upgrade or downgrade.
still no luck

Hi Raakib, just to let you know that I haven't had any luck with this, this is what I have tried, with a memory card reader connect to my PC, because the PC still doesn't see the phone
Using CWM v5.0.2.6 and with that version trying to install the original rom I get this
-- Installing: /sdcard/Downloads/S5830MUMnD1_S5830MTCEND1_TCE.zip
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Installing update...
Installation aborted.
So my attempt to recover gingerbread was unsuccessful, now, in all honesty I have no idea if I'm using the correct zip file of gingerbread, I mean, I downloaded from the sammobile page and choose the one for my country, but the instructions call for odin and to unzip the fiel, so I don't know if this zip file can just be copied to the SDcard and be unziped with CWM. So CMW needs special rom files different from the ones odin uses?
On my second attempt using CWM 6.0.4.6 to try to install kit kat 4.4 using the instructions from the androidcure website called "How to install Android KitKat on Samsung Galaxy Ace S5830", it mentions that I must use cwm v6 and the rom file called cm-11.0.0-RC4-GT-S5830-cooper-PS.zip I get this
-- Install /sdcard/Downloads ...
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
This package is for "cooper.GT-S5830" devices: this is a "".
E:Error in /tmp/sideload/package.zip
(status 7)
Installation aborted
If I use cwm v5 to try to mount /system (which is permanently un-mounted) I get this
mount: mounting /dev/block/stl9 on /system failed: Invalid argument
W:failed to mount /dev/block/stl9 (File exists)
W:failed to mount /dev/blockstl9 (no such device)
Error mounting system!
The phone still won't go in download mode and is still not visible by the PC
Any other suggestion? Thanks!!!!
