Hi guys. i have a Note thats behaving strange in recovery .
first when i get the phone i root whit cf-root and flashed latest Check rom.
in CWM i got this really strange thing i´v not aeen in my other devices SGS & SGS2. when beging to flash it comes up like this
20s sd-card mounting
19s sd-card mounting
18s sd-card mounting
counting down to 0 then it says cant mount sd-card let go anyway and it installs whatever.
yesterday when i was installing a theme
and was going to make a factory reset whipe data and it was unable to do so because it couldent find the sd-card and whent to boot loop .
whent in to recovery again flashed check-rom and the phone started.
but what the hell is the problem whit my internal sd-card and is there any solution to fix this by my self? or must i unroot and flash back stock rom of the phone via odin and send to repir?
sorry if this question came in wrong section or is asked alot.
best regards
do you have an external sd card in the phone?
what kernel are you using?
ive seen some kernels swap the internal and sd mounts around so the internal becomes external and external internal
using the cf-root kernel that comes whit the check-rom. got no external sd-card.

hello,
I explain what happened.. after a little bad luck I briked my phone, but I have the update.zip to restore the previous state, the problem I have is that update.zip is in my pc.
how can I transfer the update.zip file to my phone if it's bricked?
I tried to go into CWM recovery, and then connect via ADB, but my pc it doesn't detect the phone (I've installed samsung usb drivers from this forum). also I tried the option "mount USB storage" in CWM but my pc doesn't do anything, and I have the sdcard mounted.
what can I do? thanks in advance!
best regards!

try to put the file on external sd and see if you can flash it thru recovery.
otherwise boot into download mode and flash that son of a ***** !!!
thanks a lot for your answer
the problem is that I have a trip pictures in internal SD card, that's why I'm avoiding to flash again through Download mode. (I have all other data in a backup except the pictures!)
now I've copied the update.zip to the external sd, I've mounted the external sd, but when I chose external_sd folder to apply the update.zip it says that "no files found" all possible methods aren't working
it was worth a shot but i didnt think it would work.
i think to flash from the external sd requires a steam kernel.
anyway, try do do a factory reset and see it that helps. along with formatting cache / dalvik cache
this will not delete items on your internal sd card

Odin doesn't touch the Internal SD, so why should that be an issue?
thanks both for your answers.
the problem is that I have voodoo lagfix enabled, and I can`t disabled it because it says that there is not enough free space on sd card (because of the pictures I want to save), so I think that with voodoo lagfix enabled I can't restore the firmware via odin, unfortunately. I wish I'm wrong
thanks a lot again

my odin shows that they are two devices connected when I connect my phone (because of voodoo lagfix enabled) so.. are you saying that even if in that state, I reflash my stock firmware with repartition enabled, my sdcard data will be fine after reflashing? I ask that because unfortunately I'm not sure
thanks a lot
ClockworkMod Recovery v2.5.1.0 will not mount /sd-ext and now I cannot get my ROM installed on to the phone.
everything inside the phone has been formated
I think the next step should be to update recovery to the latest version and see if it recognizes the sd card. If this is the case I'm not real clear how to go about doing this. , or if there is an alternative way to load a ROM.
Any help would be appreciated
As an alternative u could flash (through Odin) a Dev Kernel that has CWM baked in, reboot into CWM and flash ur Rom from there. Ur choice of Kernel is dependent on what Rom ur wanting to go to... Froyo, Gingerbread, i897, i9000, etc. [as a side note, if u want a gingerbread rom, u will need gingerbread bootloaders]
I'm not sure how to flash through Odin (ill look that up) any other recovery on my phone at this point, i've always had a rom installed any time I change or update a recovery.
Let us know how it turns out.
Why are you trying to install a Rom from the external SD card? From cwm, click on mounts and storage, mount usb, copy your Rom to the internal sd card
Sent from my Inspire 4G
can you explain with some more detail the process of coping the rom to the internal sd card? I know that cwm can recoginze the internal sd card and if I get the rom on there I'm sure I can get this phone working.

reboot to recovery
plug phone into computer
'mounts and storage'
'mount usb storage'
copy rom of your choice from your computer to the drive that now shows up on your computer
unmount
in cwm recovery, browse to INSTALL ZIP FROM SDCARD
point it to the rom you just copied to the internal sdcard
confirm
after flash reboot...new rom
Thanks to Pirateghost & For2ndTwin for you input. Pirate, what you suggested worked like a champ and I now have the phone working.
Hey guys. I looked through the relevant threads that popped up before posting this, and none of the ones I hadn't already seen quite seemed to match the issue I am having.
The phone gets stuck on boot loop but I can force it to show the error we are talking about by going in to recovery mode and wiping the cache and factory resetting. Otherwise it just boot loops forever.
I have seen a few threads of similar issues, but they are all unresolved or their error is slightly different. In my case it is a
"(No such file or directory)
E:copy_dbdata_media:Can't mount SDCARD:"
I read somewhere it is possible to use an external card to run the phone whilst you nuke the internal memory and reset tables etc before flashing some stock ROM again. I have a spare mSD already formatted as per this video (he uses an 8GB partitioned 6GB fat32 and 2GB reiser, I simply have double both since I am using a 16GB card), but now I am unsure of what to do exactly. I can't do anything with the phone itself, so I am stuck using download mode or the standard android recovery mode (no CWM).

Had this happen to me when I was trying to go back to stock from CM 10.1. I am not sure how that happened, but I just flash a bunch of different roms through odin and it solved itself.
Possible solution
Hello. I've solved the same problem on my I9000. Here are the steps I followed:
I've used: Odin 1.70; 16GB Micro SDcard class 6; XWJW5 3 archives stock rom, pit file 512, CF root for JW5; CM9; Devil Kernel for i9000 and HellyBean 4.2.2.
1 - Format the 16Gb micro sd to FAT32.
2 - Turn device into Download Mode. I have flashed the HWJW5 stock rom with 3 files (PDA, CODE, CSC) with Odin 1.70, including 512 pit archive and Re-Partition ticked (all flashes with the micro sd inserted in the device). Micro sd is partitioned at boot installation. Restart into bootloop.
3-After flash, Download Mode again and flash the CF root for JW5.
4-After rooting, went into bootloop again. Remove the battery, remove the micro sd and connect it to PC (it shows only 13Gb FAT32, the rest remained for the Android system). I put in the micro sd the following files to flash in recovery, CM9 + Devil Kernel for i9000 + HellyBean 4.2.2.
5-I put the micro sd in the device, enter into recovery mode and flash CM9. After flashing the device turn on with CM7.
6 - Once in CM9, enter recovery again, flash Devil Kernel. Reboot recovery again, wipe all and flash HellyBean 4.2.2 (I think it should work with any CM10 or 10.1, I have not tried)
7-I have the device running 4.2.2 HellyBean from my micro sd with no problem (I've changed the vold.fstab for mass storage). He's back to life. Then I have installed CM10.1 Gapps.
Everything I used to do it you can find here on XDA.
Hope this can help you.

Great advice mate helped me out a lot. But could you please copy down the text in the "void.fstab" file that i would need to change as i am sortof a noob in this sort of region :silly:. the problem i seem to have is that i cant access gallery or camera as it says external sd not inserted i am using gamerzrom which i presume will be the same file directories as hellybean "e.g. : emmc" for external sd card. hope im making some kind of sense lol thanks mate :highfive:
This is the vold i have used for cm10.1.
I have this same exact error in my Samsung infuse 4g... Do you think that I could follow similar steps to help fix my error. I have two errors show up before bootloop
E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1
E:copy_dbdata_media:Can't mount SDCARD
Any help or direction appreciated

Well, I can say that I spent hours on hours trying to search for a solution with no luck,
The internal sd card of my Galaxy S GT-I9000 is corrupt.
I get E: format_volume: rfs format failed on /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 when im trying to format without sdcard inserted.
What I have managed to get after doing everything I can from my own knowlage and from the internet:
100% Working phone with ICS 4.0.3 only with 2 partitioned sd card(reiserfs and fat)
did everything in here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=31017954
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zdMhYYdMB08
also flashed multi-csc firmware with pit(JVU/JVZ) after format everything(except /boot) through CWM with no luck.
main goal:
100% Working phone WITHOUT SD CARD
I thought maybe someone could tell me if this could be solved within software itself or only FLASH IC replacement?
got linux and windows systems so guides with commands involved wont be a problem.
THANK YOU!

Jelly bean stock rom
cwm base version: 6.0.3.2
Rooting is ok. used dr ketan. got root, safe kernel(philz) and cwm (cwm base version: 6.0.3.2)
Want to make back up of my stock rom which is strongly recommended (read an articel: http://www.droidviews.com/things-to-do-before-and-after-installing-a-rom-troubleshooter/)
Want to make a back up of my stock rom to my external sd with rom manager. So if I get into bootloop or something I can access my stock-rom on my ext. sd
ClockworkMod Recovery will not mount my SD card (Sandisk 32 gb ultra class 10) and posts "Error mounting /external_sd!"
Get access when I go into myfiles app. Have moved all contants to pc. and formatted with my pc( here I dont get to choose any file system - only formatting. dont know if its ntsf or fat32 or anything else. After doing this I get the same result/error in cwm
when formatting locally on the phone also same result.
Hope anybody know how to fix this
Thanks in advance
