I've been attempting to root my SGT 10.1. Thus far I have gotten CWM 5.0.2.7 on the device, but when attempting to select the rooting ROM from the "sdcard", CWM responds that "E:Can't mount /sdcard/" It responds similarly when attempting a backup. I also get the same response when attempting to manually "Mount /data."
The tablet still works fine. The internal memory is fine - I am able to boot normally, and access my files on the device or via USB in Windows. I just can't seem to access the internal memory from CWM, and am therefore unable to flash.
Looking at the log in CWM:
W:using /data/media, no /sdcard found.
W:failed to mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p8 (Invalid argument)
E:Can't mount /sdcard
Any suggestions? I've found similar issues - but they usually indicate that the tablet is unusable, which mine is not. All of the rooting guides I have found seem to assume that the /sdcard or /data will be available in CWM right after flashing.
Thank you for your help.
Ask in the galaxy tab 10.1 forum.
You might get better help.

E:failed to mount/cache(Invalid arguement)
E:cant open /cache/recovery/log
The troubled began when i added internet tweaks to build.prop.

The reason you are getting those errors is that stock recovery cannot handle ext4, that's normal.
Probably the simplest thing to do would be to follow the unbrick tutorial:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1840645
thanks for specifying the Ext4 problem...
can i get back to Ext3 by flashing any zip through cmw recovery?
Well rfs is the default file system format, not ext3. If you use this version of CWM then you can go to mounts and storage > format /cache, /system and /data back to rfs. However you will obviously now have no ROM on your phone so will still need to either restore a backup or flash a zip of a ROM that includes the entire /system folder, which is most, if not all. I've never tried this technique by the way, so no guarantees here.
Also try to restore only Nandroid backups made with the same version of CWM that you are using to avoid problems.
hi everybody.
yesterday i have flashed my p7310 from stock honeycomp to cm10.1-experimental.
descriped here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2060530
works good, just the strange screen flickering after wakeup from standby.
see here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1989398&highlight=wakeup
because this I tried to reflash it with GT-P7310_XAR_P7310UELA3.
descriped link above.
now I'm in a bad state.
actually cwm 5.5.0.4 is installed.
if I try to boot my rom it loops at samsung logo.
if I select "wipe data/factory reset" in cwm I get:
-- wiping data...
formatting /data
error mounting /data!
skipping format...

I have tryed to install stock rom P7310XXLPO_P7310XEULPO_XEU.zip via odin. install works, bootloop
installed ClockworkMod_Recovery_v5.5.0.4.tar via odin. install works
repartitioned via odin (p5_0614.pit) and install stock rom, install works, but still bootloop.
if i connect via adb i can push Clockwork_Recovery_6.0.0.8_GT-P7310.zip to /sdcard, but no access via cwm and "choose zip from sdcard". error: E: can't mount /sdcard/
if i list files via adb shell from /sdcard and /data there are no files.
can somebody help me?

one more info.
in adb shell, if i try to mount /data manually, i get following message:
[email protected]:/ # mount /data
mount /data
mount: mounting /dev/block/mmcblk0p8 on /data failed: Invalid argument
i assume that this blk device has no filesystem. but how can i format it manually?
ok... i solved it.
who want's to know how i solved:
i formated /data with ext4 via adb shell.
[email protected]:/system/bin # /system/bin/make_ext4fs /dev/block/mmcblk0p8
where /dev/block/mmcblk0p8 is my /data (according to the fstab)
after that i was able to mount /data !!!
i flashed cwm 5.5.0.4 again via odin, flashed (odin) stock rom (works now!)
It seems that I have a similar (if not exactly the same problem). Problem is, I'm not exactly tech savvy enough to
understand/execute your solution on my own.

Can you tell us how you go about formatting your SDCARD? I have a similar problem and can't mount E: data/ whenever I try TWRP or CWM recoveries on my p7300. Can you give us step by step or at least a link where to start. Sorry, I am not familiar with ADB.
Thanks for your support with this tab.

Try to install a new twrp recovery using the following instructions. That fixed it for me:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2602188
(only applies to stock rooted nook hd+ using bootable sd cwm)
Greetings,
I'm posting this in case anyone else encounters my specific problem which I was unable to find a solution to online but fixed myself.
The error: In CWM (hummingbirdv3, hummingbirdv4, early4, early5 versions tested) on the bootable sd of my nook hd+, repeatedly received the messages:
can't mount /bootdata
can't mount /system
when trying to do many things, such as install CM zips, backup/restore, etc. (anything that needed to access /bootdata or /system).
The solution: After trying many things, what ended up solving the problem and allowing me to mount both /bootdata and /system again was just stupid simple. Disable root, using the "NookHD-HDplus-disable-root-rev2-(02.02.13).zip" file on leapinlar's post here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2062613
After this, I restarted my nook and was again able to mount /bootdata and /system and then install cm10 and gapps.
Hope this helps someone!

Heeeellpppp
I have this Samsung Galaxy tab GT-p1000 whose applications are getting error message of "force close", I tried to delete all the installed applications, restored factory settings but It doesnt seem to uninstall all the applications, So I decided to
upgrade it from Gingerbread 2.3.6 to ICS after installing it I got an error message of "Encryption Unsuccessful", So tried resetting it, rebooting, wiping factory settings, wiping cache but nothing happened, I even removed the sdcard before rebooting it but still I got the same error message.
I got frustrated and made a stupid mistake, I formatted everything thru recovery mode, format /data, format /sdcard, format /system and all. Yes every possible format. Here comes the problem when I rebooted the system, I only got the "Galaxy Tab, Samsung" screen. I can't enter recovery mode anymore, I can still enter download mode but my pc won't recognize it, so Odin can't recognize it too. What should I do now? HEEEELPPPP pleassseeeee :crying:
If Odin can't recognise it, use a new PC.
Many have done so, even one last week.

Thanks for your Help.
same comment here as in there.
It is either the partition is screwed up or the NAND chip is bad.
If you did Odin with PIT file and repartition ticked, and didn't come back alive like the other forumer there, then your internal NAND chip is bad.
There are several threads dealing with how to use external SD only and on damaged internal SD.

Sir, it seems that this internal chip problem is a huge problem for gtab7 users.. is it better if someone make the tutorial on how to use the external sd to stickies so ppl can notice it? Thanks..

Do you have a link to the stock firmware? I have searched on this and google and most or all of the links are dead.
No, I don't have the stock.
I don't see the point though. GB-stock-safe-v5 works better than the stock T-mobile froyo anyway.

I got the gb stock safe flashed now im on the step where you are supposed to flash the -Overcome_Kernel_v4.0.0.tar but for some reason i dont seem to be able to find it in the zip file that was provided.
Great I have it fixed and it is working perfectly (as far as I can tell) now. Tommorow I will post the step by step and links that i used to get it fixed to save others the time and frustration of doing this, thanks for all the help. Namaste Friends
overcome rom works great only problem that I have ran into is the fact that wifi drops alot and hardly seems to work at all. And yes I have flashed the wi-fi fix, twice, and still no luck.
Have to go run some errands but afterwards I will post what I did step by step for those in the future that encounter the very problem that I had( the no factory reset or able to mount /data problem).
