3. Start Odin - put the .md5 to PDA and leave everything else as is.
4. Go to download mode on the G-tab (Power + Volume down) - connect to your computer.

on your CWM, do you have the option of mount/unmount (Should be under "Storage Menu")? If yes, can you try if you can mount /data?

Mount HumberOs v 2.1 from the external memory, from the cwm, but the system after installation reboots again, but it still does not start rebooting.

Had the same issue because of wrong pit file. Solved when flashing via odin with repartition checked and as pit file: s1_odin_20100512.pit. Downloaded from samfirmware

Stuck without a OS

Good Morning
Very ironic,but i came here to ask about rooting my phone a year back and now i'm back in sort of the same situation..
A year back I rooted my froyo 2.2.1 based Galaxy S to a gingerbread version,then i used quite a few of the ICS roms available on this forum,had been using Cyanogen for the past few months.Yesterday i had some free time,so i thought would check out the JB roms available.
So i did the usual,download the JB version of Fishears since i had a iNand.put it in my internal sdcard..but i could not access the memory card from CWM 5.0.2.7..,so i put it in my external memory card and tried to run the zip from there,but the process got aborted in the middle,tried it twice,dint work.
Then i remembered i had faced this internal memory problem before,had to go and switch on the debugging mode in the developer option.[P.S:- i had been facing the encryption successful problem for half a year,was too lazy/busy to fix it,i just took it in my stride and rebooted a lot to get into the homepage]
So,I'm in CWM and i run the usual process and run the zip file from the internal sdcard,it started out fine,them BOOM.my phone reboots all of a sudden.When it restarts,it does not have a OS to boot into,the green android image with a red exclamation mark and a few text appears which happens too fast to read and it keeps rebooting and this process goes on.
I can still access CWM and the download mode,i tried going into CWM but the internal sd doesnt open and the zip file fails to mount from the external sd.
So i thought **** it,i'll do the rooting part again and i run up ODIN,download the semaphore 2.7.4 kernel,and i see it is just 15 mb or so,i remembered i used more than 1 file and used the pit folder also,but i read it on the semaphore website,its only 1 file and have to use it as the PDA.went to download mode and odin recognised it and the process completed without a hitch,it even showed a green PASS..
but the problem came when it had to reboot after the process,it got stuck in the "Galaxy S GT I9000" page and never moved forward.it was there for 30 minutes or so before i pulled out the battery.
Basically
1.I cant get past that page
2.I can access the CWM and Download modes
3.I accepted my mistake and thought of not doing any more mistakes,so icame here
4.When i boot into CWM mode,these errors come
E:failed to open/etc/recovery.fstab (No such file or directory)
E:unknown volume for path[/cache/recovery/command]
E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/command

Cant access the external sd from the CWM now
I dont mind any os now,as long as i can take calls.Am leaving college for home by train day after,so i need a working os as soon as possible
Thank you for reading this and thank you in advance for taking your time to help me out

Ok dont know whether this is good or bad
I installed CM9 from the external sd as the internal sd was inaccesible in any way..the installation showed info like
"the internal sd card marker could not be found
Going ahead with installation"
the installation continues and restarts once and updates but it does not boot into the main page,it directly goes into the Encryption Unsuccessful page.When i try Reset Phone,it goes into the CWM recovery screen with some errors,
when i try to install CM10 from this recvery screen,it initially stops the installation saying the data partition layout is different and all my data will be wiped.run the .zip to go ahead with the progress.I run this it goes directly into the CWM 6.0._._ and it doesnt show any errors,i try to reboot it gets stuck on the galaxy s screen.
this situation is better than the previous condition as i know a OS can still run on my Phone..Just need to get this thing rectified now

Please if anyone could help me right now,i would be really grateful..not able to contact anyone without my phone

It might be a hardware problem... I had something similar

Try and locate the exact csc file in .tar or .zip format for your model...sgs2 is galaxy S2 ( you are in the wrong forum).
you can flash .tar file using odin or .zip as update.zip using CWM to solve the problem. Try My Guides and Manuals link below for your phone specific links

suggest you try factory reset in CWM first, as that would solve CSC problems..
FIRST STEP for ALL Problems:-
Whenever you have a problem with your Phone, power it down, remove battery, remove SIM card and Ext SD card and press and hold your power button for at least 30 seconds to a min, before reinserting battery and trying any solution

i tried to do that but the recovery dont make it sir ..look @ forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1713419
Due to this error one can not do anything in recovery like backup, restore,wiping,flashing roms , etc. and which is very annoying. This happens because the CWM reject or failed to identify the root access of the device.
can i find recovery img for my phone?

1) What is your phone model?
2) when certain files are unavailable or cannot be located best option is to save all your important files ( in CWM , go to mount and storage, mount USB Storage and use USB cable to your PC...copy all (the entire SD card to your PC), After which you flash a stock ROM ( according to your model) using Odin in download mode.

Most Recovery tools and files can be found on My Android Collections link below, you can even use AndroPlatina Utilities to factory reset your phone

Basically, you should post here for i9100 http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1055
Even than, your problem may be solved by flashing the correct version of CWM, so best you start from the beginning, read this

[Q] CWM stuck at formatting /data

I have a Galaxy Mini GT-S5570 running CM 10.1 which was installed about a month back. Yesterday my phone suddenly crashed and after rebooting it got stuck in the boot animation (cyanogenmod logo). I tried wiping the cache and data but when the CM recovery (v4.0.0.5) starts formatting /data it gets stuck. It displays formatting /data... and its their for forever. PS I was experiencing frequent reboots and hangs after I flashed the new badass kernel!
What i tried to did:
1. Updated CWM to latest available version but the problem exists.
2. Tried to restore my backup of cm 10.1 rom but it stucks at 'Restoring Data'.
3. Installed stock rom via odin. When Odin says Close serial port and wait until rebooting, the phone automatically boots into stock recovery
and it says:
" Installing update...
-- Applying Muti-CSC --
Multi_CSC : there are common apks
Multi_CSC : comm_so
Can't access to '/system/csc/ATL/system'.
Formatting /cache...
-- Applying Muti-CSC --
Multi_CSC : there are common apks
Multi_CSC : comm_so
Can't access to '/system/csc/ATL/system'. "
Odin says PASS but the phone is still stuck at stock recovery.
4. Wiped cache succesfully via stock recovery but it stucks at wiping data/reset (formatting /data...)
5. I then installed back CWM via odin. CWM displays the following message:
E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/command
E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/log
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/log
E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/last_log
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/last_log
Any help is surely appreciated.
Thanks.

anyone?

You got so many issues, and seems that you have tried a lot of things already, now first 1 check your sdcard if is it working properly, 2 format system from cwm and then install stock rom via odin (if on samsung logo there isnt boot sound then install stock rom again n again untill sucess) 3after once on stock try reflashing your custom rom.
If still not helpful start panicking

[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.
