Flash raw r4 kernel from recovery. Then reboot into recovery. Go to mounts and storage and format system, data and cache. Then flash the new rom.

2.boot to philz recovery install raw r4 kernel
3.reboot to recovery now is CWM-BASED RECOVERY V6.0.4.4
4.went to mounts and storage and format system data cache
5.installed sweetrom v11.1_LTA rebooted
6.stuck on boot screen
7.tested omni rom again the same it stays on boot screen
when i try to install from the sd card i see that there is an extra partition sd card0 and sd card1 on the first partition it contains lost dir,twrp/,clockwokmod and the other one my roms shouldnt be only one????
any other idea?
One is your internal and other is external sd. When you say stuck on boot screen? What exactly do you see? The Samsung flashing logo? Of that then it takes a while to boot.

Failed to mount efs? Hmm.. Check in your internal sd card if you have any file named efs backup or efs auto backup of 20 MB in size?

Sorry I think you are confused...You have flashed raw kernel for 4.4 roms, then you've installed sweetrom that is 4.1...I'm sure that you stuck on boot. Search for a 4.4x rom, flash raw kernel and you'll see will work. with raw, internal sdcard is /emmc. If you want to install sweetrom you have to flash Philz kernel. See roms threads.

Flash PhilZ kernel again and then flash aroma file manager to check if there is an efs backup in the internal storage.

i was running cos-ds when i decide to try a new kernel: auto-boot-2.6.35.13-farmatito-pershoot-ds-BFS+-20110518 (1).zip . So i went to recovery (cwm) wiped cache partition and installed the kernel from the file menu. when i rebooted all my apps had gone since they had been on the sd-ext. when i checked the sd-ext under settings>storage and scroll down to sd-ext it says unavailable. so im wondering if i wasnt supposed to flash it via recovery. the previous times iv tried flashing a kernel it has worked. how do i get my apps back? is the sd corrupte and do i hsve to re partition? what do i do?
well im no pro on flashing kernels but im pretty sure your supposed to flash them after flashing a rom.... so maybe thats something to do with it...? since you lost all your apps anyway try to re flash rom than that kernel right after and see if anything happens... maybe you need to have a specific ext... 2,3,4 who knows.. lol sorry for your troubles

Sometime it's best to wipe the SD card and re-partition your SD card. I tipically do it when I flash a new ROM. Then re-install the apps.

i agree!!! every once in a while its a good idea to re partition your sd card because it's more like a complete wipe. sometimes ill even do an mtd removal here and there.. (i use custom mtd for my SenseLX rom )

the error is stating that while backing up recovery is not able to mount /system
try to mount /system before backing up rom. it can be mounted from mount and storage option
try to reflash latest cwm which is 5.0.2.8
try to wipe cache and dalvik cache before backing up
I think this problem is with stock ROM Or GB.
I was Flashing Emanom v5
I want to backup GB to restore when in need but, CWM v4 throws this errorBackup error
E: Can't open /cache/recovery/log
I Prepared:
1, Flashed GB through odin without SD mounted and android booted.(with sound in Samsung Logo)
2, Changed some Settings in Android
2a, Rebooted again with Mounted SD(to check if booting ssuccesfully with partitioned SD)
3, Now Rebooted to downloading mode
4, Flashed CMW Recovery v4
4a, Here Android succesfully booted, then I Rebooted in CWM.
5, In CWM, it show the error- E: Can't open /cache/recovery/log
6, when I tried to backup it doesn't
7, Wiped data + Cache
8, Re-tried to backup but it throws that err again.
9, Now I booted Android it does'nt boots(show Samsung Logo but no Sound and boot loops)
So I left off and Flashed Emanom
with whole process skipping steps 5-9
Here With Emanom v5, in CWM Recovery
That Error Again but when I backed up successufully towing error again.
Now what Step I left or any wrong do I did.
If backup-ing GB is possible then we could just restore it to flash any custom ROM without flashing through Odin and requirement of computer.

Stock ROMs can't be backed up right ?
Even if you backed up, its not able to restore.

if it is backed up i think it can be restored easily.
but to make it compatible with stock rom the person(squad) who ported the recovery needed to make the recovery compatible with rfs partition but its compatible with ext partition
I have installed custom rom from zip and used it for several weeks.
Today I have decided to try new rom and I have made a backup trough CWM (6.0.2.5) in format .tar
I have tried to restore the backup. but the phone gives me a really strange error.
Encryption Failed. The system .. bla bla bla ... you need to reset your phone ..
I have tried to factory reset trough CWM, but the problem is the same.
I have tried to restore older backup ... the same error ...
Any ideas what is the problem and now to fix it (restore the rom)
I have tried the following ..
1. format /system /cache / data
2. install custom rom (CivZ v3.0)
3. take the setup wizard
4. reboot into recovery (CWM 6.0.2.5)
5. backup (.tar format)
6. restore from the backup
and .. the same error and no working rom ..
Can this be an internal SD memory problem ?
Any ideas ???
Anyone
Try backing up to external SD card. If that works, or you dont have an external SD card, backup and repartition your internal SD using AIO toolkit (choice 4 in the toolkit, then select the new unlocked ICS bootloader, and 512 MB system partition, or whatever your preferred size is, then run the internal SD fixer which follows that step) and try again.
The backup is on external SD
I have already repartitioned the internal SD with the default ICS layout (1.5G system)

Then try backing up to the internal SD and also try changing recovery to TWRP.
I have already tried TWRP but it cannot restore CWM backup
Currently I have stock rom , but I cannot rollback to the previous rom backup.
a few days ago I have used some app (found here in XDA) for optimizing internal SD .. is it possible this app to broke something in the internal SD ?

Hi! I assume that you were using the stock ics rom. Right? Stock ics use system partition as ext4 but data and cache are used as ext3. Since TWRP and CWM format data and cache as ext4 you cannot use your old backup of stock ics rom, unless you format both (data and cache) to ext3.
I created a zip which converts data and cache to ext3. Download from my attachment.
Flash the zip file then restore your backup.
Thanks :victory:
I will try
I have installed semaphore cwm on a stock Galayxy S 2.3 phone. I can get into recovery mode and also download mode. However, when I try and boot the phone it just flashes up the usual Glxy S boot screen and goes no further. I cannot work out how to get Cyanogenmod 10.1.2 zip on to the /sd card when I can't boot the phone. I have put the zip on to the external sd, but that is no good as CWM doesn't see the external SD.
I am getting desperate as it is my daughter's phone and she will not be happy if I have bricked it. I am running linux mint 14.

To put files into sd card when you are in recovery mode, just go:
Mounts & Storage -> mount usb storage
Then put your zip file and flash it.
1 step forward and 2 steps back.

Thank you so much for this advice. It worked. I got the phone going again and then, to my eternal shame, I did a restore on CWM. I should have done an advanced restore and only selected what I needed. So now I am back where I started, but in a worse position. CWM is displaying error messages such as failed to open /etc/recovery.fstab, can't mount /cache/recovery....I can't install from the internal sd as it can't be seen. I feel like screaming. I have tried re-installing CWM, doing a factory re-set, wiping the cache and dalvik cache, all to no avail.
I wouldn't blame you for giving up on me!

Never, ever format the system.
If you're on stock just do that:
1-Reboot in recovery
2-Choose Wipe data/factory reset
3-Flash cm rom
4-Flash gapps
5-Reboot
Done, that's it.
If you want to update cm roms (or any rom):
1-Reboot in recovery
2-Flash cm update
3-Choose Wipe cache & dalvik cache
4-Reboot
Done.
You don't need to mess up with anything more.
P.S. better use twrp 2.7 from novafusion, for better compatibility.

Thanks but it still doesn't work. I want to flash the rom but the rom file its in the external sd card and it says that there are no files found. And when i hook up the phone to my pc the phone is detected, however I can´t acess the sd card.
Maybe if there's a way for me to acess the ext. sd card and change the rom file for the internal memory it would work. Do you know how can i do this?

Euhm, it might be a weird idea, but you take your external SD-card, put it in your card reader, connect the card reader to your pc, and copy the zip to (let's say) the root of the SD-card
CWM should be fine, but I'm used to TWRP. You can find it on the novafusion website. (search novafusion TWRP)
If you can't boot into CWM or TWRP, or files still don't show up on the browsermodule in the recovery rom, you still have the possibility to flash your ROM using odin. Check the installation guide on novafusion, it gives you a link to all the files you need and a detailed description how to install your rom.
