My g2 is all messed up!
When I turn it on I get forced closed everything
It won't let me recover my old rom
It says can't open /cache/recovery/log!
I'm so angry
My phone has s/off or whatever
What do I do?
Manually boot into recovery and flash your backup.
My backup will not flash, I see that error in clockworkmod it won't let me do anything I'm freaking out

Boot into recovery, wipe cache and dahlvik cache, then install your back up? That didn't work?

you might also try fastboot flashing a new clockwork recovery, if its giving you recovery errors. that might fix the error. do you have copies of the backups elsewhere, like on your pc? if so, you might try one of those, see if perhaps its a problem with errors in the Micro sd card.

I would go for this. OP boot into recovery, wipe caches and wipe data/factory reset then reboot. See if u can start fresh. Or just wipe data and flash a fresh new ROM to start fresh.
I replied to ur other thread but it sounds like you are best off at this point just wiping everything and starting over.

Which rom did you flash that got you stuck at the htc boot? What which version of rom manager are you using?
If the rom manager you have does not support the rom you flashed, you will get a boot loop..
Fly like a G2!
Reflash clockwork recovery...sounds like its effed.
all good now
i followed this guide

Hi,
I am currently running AOKP build 31... I know there are many more recent builds but I was happy with this one.
I decided to try JB and was trying to wipe the device and I'm facing something strange:
- I tried to wipe the phone (data, cache, even data/factory reset) from the recovery menu and it has no effects at all...
- the first couple of attempts I did not notice that the wipe was not happening and when I tried to find the JB zip file on the phone from the recovery menu, it said "can't mount /sdcard"...
- I tried to trigger the factory reset from the settings menu on the phone and the phone comes back exactly as if I had done a simple reboot...
I'm a bit lost... Am I missing something obvious? I did search and was not able to find something that would look like what I'm facing.
Thanks for your help,

Maybe try Super Wipe Lite? Idk... it might be of use. Just flash it and it should wipe your device (except SD card of course).
Did you wipe system?

Would be interested in testing this, but I seem to have no way to flash anything since when I'm in the recovery menus, when it tries to access the /data or /sdcard folders, it does not find it...
I think I'll have to find a way to get recovery to "see" /data and /sdcard to be able to fix that.
I found a "format system" entry... Just did it... Not too sure where this is going to take me...
I would reflash recovery if I were you. You can do it from fastboot mode using the gnex toolkit

I had tried it earlier today and it did not complete the operation (was blocked at something like "waiting for the device" something).
I have just done it again (after formatting /system) and it worked.
But it still doesn't "see" /sdcard... so I can't load anything...
Now when I enter in fastboot, I see : Fastboot Command Read Error - 21474833647
EDIT - I reflashed Recovery from the toolkit and Fasboot status is now okay... I guess I now need to find an img file and to try to flash it from the toolkit?
I'm stuck here... What would be the next step? I tried to do a Nandroid restore from Gnex Toolkit but when I start it, the main window of the toolkit just vanish and that's it...
Okay, so I used GN Toolkit to reflash entirely the stock config and now I'm installing 4.1. Don't know exactly where things went wrong but I'm now back on tracks, it seems.
Thanks for the help.

Probably because you didn't read the instructions and were in recovery instead of in fastboot.

Yes, that most probably explains the second problem where the phone was not detected.
But i'm not sure it explains the first problem where there was no access to the /data or /sdcard...

CWM says : E:Can't mount /sdcard
Okay, so now I am trying to get back to my previously backed up ROM, after having tested JB...
And I am back to where I was earlier: CWM can't mount /sdcard...
I must be missing something very obvious but I don't know where to start looking.
I have just wiped entirely the phone, thought that this problem would be gone.
Any hint on what the issue could be?
Thanks,
I might be having a related problem, but it wont even let me go back to the stock rom... it errors out when flashing the stock rom but the recovery flashes a zip already on my internal storage..
My problem is that with JB and now clean CM9 RC1 both of them have problems booting and freeze and reboot during the bootup sequence..
I can get to download but nowhere else
the phone wont get past the glowing Samsung after the ATT "rethink" animation

SIMPLE FIX....
preform factory reset in recovery before (or after) flashing stock.
Stock odin flash does not flash or wipe data partition. and some files that you have in there become incompatible with older firmware and stop stock from booting.
NOTE!!!!! factory reset from STOCK recovery WILL WIPE SD CARD TOO!!! CWM recovery factory reset WILL NOT wipe sd card... backup your pics and downloads!!!!

I had a similar issue and was able to resolve it by using this guide to install CWM
http://www.androidauthority.com/galaxy-s3-sgh-i747-att-clockworkmod-recovery-99791/
reviving this thread because I'm having a similar issue. It was all my own doing I know I know. I was flashing the rooted/cwm tar from the sgs3 toolkit and the phone would do this thing where it would show the first 2 boot screens then go black and keep the blue LED on which actually alternated from lightblue to dark blue. I then tried to flash stock which did nothing. Then I got it to boot past the boot screens and show me both the samsung and att animation. it now hangs on the SAMSUNG screen. when I try and wipe data in CWM (6.0.2.3) it says this
(re-written)
-- wiping data --
Formatting /data...
Error Mounting /data!
Skipping format
formatting /cache
formatting /sd-ext
formatting /sdcard/.android.secure..
error mounting /sdcard/.android_secure!

data wipe complete.
I cannot get anything to wipe or mount and I cannot efs clear it in odin. I would love to be able to get back to stock since I believe this is recoverable. Thanks for reading my mess of problems and attempting to give some advice.

If you Odin back to stock, it should give you the stock Recovery, not CWM or TWRP. Try doing the Odin to stock again, then use the stock Recovery to reset to factory defaults.
If you used a JB stock with Odin, then try using an ICS stock with Odin. ICS is more reliable when it comes to fixing flash issues.
it looks like you didn't wipe cache and dalvik.
just go back to recovery and wipe them.
Don't know what I did but I fixed it. Thanks for replies. We can lay this thread back in the ground now.

Are you on the latest 6.0.2.9? The 5.*.*.*. Doesn't work well with the newer roms. Update your cwm or switch to twrp, then you should fine.
Okay so to start off I had RSL14 Hyperdrive installed on the rom, ended up trying a new one and when going to wipe data, cache, dalvik, system as usual i ran into an odd error. I am using TWRP recovery and when going to wipe data, the phone just restarted, so i rebooted into recovery and tried again same thing.....which was odd. So i reinstalled twrp and then tried again same thing. Then I decided to install CWM 6.0.1.2 and it wipes data and everything fine, but when going to wipe cache, dalvik, or data it sometimes states E: unknown volume for path {/sd-ext}. On top of that everyonce in a while it says E: unable to format unsafe partition?
Please help its causing me problems and I am a flashaholic.

Unsafe partition usually means your internal partitions got corrupted somehow.
I would suggest to flash a stock ROM via ODIN or ADB. You could try MSkips toolbox if your comfortable using it-http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1703488

If I flash the stock recovery via odin will this fix the partition? I'd really hate to have to do that but reflashed both recoveries a couple different times and like the rom im currently on but if it must be then I guess I have no choice.

The thing that is probably going on is that bits of data are left over. We need to clean.
Process A is this link. And we should still do process B but, this is the deep clean
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2086769
Process B.
-Install philz. Some people have luck, i didn't. I don't think it works with 4.3
-"format " select data, cashe, sdcard. Not sdcard1 (cuz that is your external) and etc
Reboot recovery
Wipe cashe, wipe dalvidec, wipe for new rom, wipe factory reset.
Don't restore anything old that isn't 4.3... Or flash new 4.3
If you want to try process B first, it may be all you need. But if it doesn't work, do all of it.
Jlmancuso is your goto if that doesn't work. The samsung screen does take a few minutes, be patient.
I hope this helps.

Here is how to do a clean wipe, just remember you r doing like format the comp. hard drive and install new OS. I see u have Philz now. Boot into Philz then go to Mounts and Storage and pick format /data and /data/media (/sdcard). Once done pick: format /system. done pick format /preload. Then go back and chose Wipe Cache Partition. Once it finish, pick Wipe Data/Factory Reset. First, pick Wipe Data/Factory Reset. When finish, pick Clean to Install a New ROM. Then Reboot back into RECOVERY and now you can install any rom of your choice in the external sdcard (showned as sdcard1 in Philz). If it's still not working, use Philz to install the back to unrooted stock MC2 by Billard412 and follow my steps in the other thread. The reason I said this because I have to note 2. Once is fine with whatever wipe. The other had to go back to MC2 and upgrade to MK4 then rooted through CF Auto Root and install TWRP then Philz then wipe everything in the above steps then everything is fine with a hitch.

Here is how to do a clean wipe, just remember you r doing like format the comp. hard drive and install new OS. I see u have Philz now. Boot into Philz then go to Mounts and Storage and pick format /data and /data/media (/sdcard). Once done pick: format /system. done pick format /preload. Then go back and chose Wipe Cache Partition. Once it finish, pick Wipe Data/Factory Reset. First, pick Wipe Data/Factory Reset. When finish, pick Clean to Install a New ROM. Then you can install any rom of your choice in the external sdcard (showned as sdcard1 in Philz).

Thanks for the help. I now have my note2 back up fully and I am back on a jellybomb rom. not sure if i will go back to a 4.3 rom as I never had this many issues on ANY phone on any rom on any OS.
Keep up the good work helping the slow members like myself.

Remember not to use TWRP to back up 4.3 and install it. It wont work. I always have the back to unrooted stock MC2 in the external sdcard just in case flashing the new rom wont work. I am glad you got your note 2 back. You should try out the Smoothest Note 2/3 1.3 tester. It is very stable and has alot of Note 3 features.

I actually installed smoothest rom with TWRP with no issues until I started to use TWRP with Smoothest.
Ultimately it was my fault for not switching to Philz. I just had to many backups for TWRP and as I said I was able to install Smoothest from it so I thought all was good.
Is Philz compatible with the older roms or do I need to keep switching recoveries?

you r fine to install any rom with TWRP. but if you use it for back up and then restore the MK4, it just wont work. I am not sure about Philz and older rom. So cant tell you.

Philz is good for everything. It will work for every rom and it will even restore your twrp backups. If you used 6.07.9 the option for twrp is under backup/restore then misc options.

thanks bud!!
I was finally able to install the latest smooth rom w/o aroma but I am getting this error when the phone boots up.
UIDS on the system are inconsistent, you need to wipe your data partition or your device will be unstable. with a tab that say im feeling lucky. I selected that and all seems fine but i cannot turn on my wifi.
sorry to be a pain, but what should I do?
EDIT........
I found the wifi fix and it is now working, but I am still getting the error on start up about the data partition.
what should I do?

I was last night, but now not so much. My phone is trying to hands free activate unsuccessfully and my data connection does not work. My GPS may not be working also.
I have tried a factory and data wipe and reinstalled the rom. I also called sprint for help but nothing they suggested worked.
I'm at a loss as what to do next. What do you suggest?
