My phone wont boot: Failed to mount system

Hi guys!
I was Rooting my phone, and everything was okay with my first steps, I got a Superuser app in my phone and the most important thing it was working. After I was looking for my new Rom for my phone, I thought the CyanogenMod 9.0.0-RC0-GalaxyICS-UNOFFICIAL-beta8 one should be fine.
I downloaded the beta 8 version, after I installed to my phone. The installation was succesful. But after my Phone wont boot.. I got these messages:
- Appling Multi-CSC --
E:failed to mount /system
(Invalid Argument)
Anyone..Pls Help me !

Your phone is a S5830i?
If is, there is the problem
Sent from my GT-S5830 using my hands

Your ace is 5830 right? And did you flash from stock recovery or from cwm? If you can get download mode then you will be able to reflash via Odin, find firmware on SamMobile.com

I did just this root: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1603273
I am a f*ckin' idiot I should read more before I am doing this thing..

And Right, my Ace is GT-5830 (without any i)

Err you need clockworkmod
AOKP 4 LYF

Install clockwork mod recovery with Odin and reflash rom using cwm.

Its best that you install your stock rom and be happy with it. And yes, if u don't know, don't ever use rom manager. Its just not meant for galaxy ace.

right I flashed most of roms but now i am back to my custom stock rom with cm7 UI and i woudn't change it

[Q] why is cwm recovery not working?

I have installed cwm on my friends phone (galaxy mini) via odin. When i booted into recovery it said he couldn't mount /cache/recovery. So i installed root explorer on his phone and i saw there are no files in that folder! In my phone there is a file... so i was wondering if someone has installed cwm (i believe it was 5.2.7) and knows how to solve this. Maybe i could try using this file of someone else with same recovery.
Long story short: does anybody know a solution or does anybody wants to upload this file?
Sorry for bad english if i made any mistakes

simple way is to download file and usb to phone, the zip file. Do Not unzip it.

stock?
Dont use CWM on stock if u dont want to flash rom
It will give problem

Well... first i had tried installed cwm using a normal .zip file. Same problem. Then was when i actually installed via odin. After that i gave up and asked for help here. So i think it isnt the fould of the recovery. So could anyone upload the file in the next location, just to try : /cache/recovery
So i can put the file inside this folder and maybe it will work again.

Dont use custom recovery on stock, if you want install custom rom, just wipe data/cache and it will mount system, data

So i shouldn't use cwm to install rom? Indeed, installing a new rom is the goal

never flashed single file via odin before. i think i just need to deselect one package. but what kind of thing is it.. boot, phone, pda, csc or efs?
or do i need to select one package and just chose a .ops file i use on an other recovery?

don't worry error in mounting cache is normal, you can use it safely for installing and wiping

However also in the my stock recovery give a error in the cache partition but to me give the error of unmounting, says unmount(/cache); attempt 1 unknow error=0 rc=0, and later i must and will inform about this error.

anyway people. nobody knows a solution for my mounting problem? as far as i know is it impossible to instal a rom if the system cant mount?!?!
well. i tried installing rom anyway, just as somebody said i should do. and now my phone soft bricked a bit. i can get in recovery and download mode. but when i boot normally i just get samsung logo and after that i get a white screen!?!?!

Re: I need help urgently a
and if yyou cant flash in cwm, just find a stock rom on this forum and flash it using odin and you should have recovery back. perhaps you can find a stock recovery that is flashable via odin.

Need help on rooting

I want to root my LG OP Black P970 running official stock ICS 4.0.4. Can anyone share me the steps by step process. As I know there is no specific button to load the bootloader in this model.

You can try unlock root.
To have CWM, you must flash a patched v20 using smart flash tool.
Please read N00bys guide.

this is because actual recoveries are incompatible with ICS firmwares and will brick your device if you try to flash a recovery. you may try this mod to unlock the bootloader for getting a working recovery
