I wiped /cache, /system, and dalvik and data. Then i tried selecting a zip file from my sd card but I was not able to do so. So i decided to power off the phone and enter recovery again but now I am stuck at the samsung galaxy triangle screen! what can i do to get out of this? This happened when I tried going from starburst 1.6 to viperROM v2.
Hey I had this same problem this afternoon and got it back to normal.
First I did a system restore following these steps,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1282420&highlight=Eg30
Then with odin rerooted with zedomax's kernel
http://downloadandroidrom.com/file/Epic4GTouch/kernel/ZedomaxEpicTouchKernel//SPH-D710_Zedomax_EpicTouchKernel-v3.tar
And then flashed the new ROM following the format system, wipe everything, install zip method.
Hope this helps

Boot into CWM and reflash the starburst rom. wipe cache, wipe dalvik caches and format system under mounts and storage.
When this problem happened to me, my phone couldn't mount the internal storage device or the sd card so it wouldn't do even a normal boot, in CWM it couldn't find any ROMs to install, and I would get error messages when trying to wipe data etc. Then after a few reboots and battery pulls it was stuck at the yellow triangle screen. Download mode was the only thing it would boot into so I was forced to follow the steps described above.

Been having a few problems with random rebooting on my EVO. I had been using Sprint Lovers Rom since Jan. Haven't had any issues. I recently decided to try Calkulin's EViO 3 v1.0 Beta 2. Which I'm really liking as well.
But my phone has been randomly rebooting.Most times it reboots and will not boot back to main screen without me having to pull the battery , reboot into recovery and reinstall the rom. When get the phone to boot back to the main menu, it reboots at least 3 or 4 more times. I usually have to reboot into recovery, then wipe cache, dalvik, and data again in order to stop the reboots for awhile.
So I wiped everything again and used a nandroid backup to go back to SprintLovers rom. Will I had the same rebooting issues with that too, which I never had before. So I'm beginning to think I have a issue with the bootloader. I had started another thread in the wrong forum and someone suggested wiping the SD-EXT Partition of my memory card since I'm using Apps2SD. Problem is I don't have SD-EXT partition. I tried mounting it and formatting it. I keep getting a error message saying 'path volume sd-ext invalid".
Any ideas to stop this random rebooting to stop?
Using Clockwork Recovery if that matters.
Download the PC36IMG.zip file for amon_RA from HERE and flash from the bootloader screen. Afterwards, go into the wipe menu and wipe cache & dalvik and then make a nandroid backup of your current setup. Afterwards, go back to the wipe menu and wipe EVERYTHING in it EXCEPT the SD card and then flash the rom you want to use. By the way, the sd-ext is listed in the wipe menu.

Thanks for the reply. How is the sd-ext partition created? is it automatically created by App2SD?

Yes. I never use A2SD because I've never even been close to running out of space, and read/write speed is faster on internal memory.
Hope wiping solves your problem

So back on my Evo 4G whenever I wanted to flash a new rom, I would load it on my SD card. Then boot into custom recovery and wipe cache/Dalvik... Then would wipe ALL data/factory reset. Then I would install my new rom off of my SD card.
With my S3, I cannot access anything on my SD via CWM recovery. I have a SDXC card formatted to FAT32 and am on Blazer 1.8
I want to do a full data wipe before flashing new ROMS, but I am worried that if I do, I won't have a way of getting a zip file back on my phone after doing so.
It ALMOST seems like. Remember being able to access my SD in CWM when I was on a stock rooted rom. But I'm not positive.
How does one do a wipe data option in CWM and then get a flash able zip back on the phone afterwards if the SD card is not available to see and move data to/from?
I don'tanna end up wiping all data and then finding out that I hav no way of installing/restoring a rom.
Thanks!

Move on to TWRP for your recovery, much more features but if you don't want to do that go to CWM's website and update to 6.0 it will allow you to "see" your sd card

+1 on TWRP, much nicer and more features and themable To install, download GooManager open it and grant SU access then tap menu and select "Install OpenRecoveryScript" and it'll do the rest.
BTW you're following the process ok, except you're doing one additional step that is not required that is to wipe cache and dalvik. When you factory reset you're deleting the data partition which also has both cache. It should be wipe system then do factory reset, flash the ROM after that and you should be all set.
Install stock JB LS8 after wipe
I got info on how to wipe the phone using CW mode. It does explain to format boot and system partition and ask to reboot. (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1410881)I was left in confusion. If boot is formatted, would CW mode work after reboot ? After full wipe, can I get GT-I9100 in download mode and do stock rom installation using ODIN ? Thanks in advance.

Formatting Boot will not affect CWM. CWM is your receovery not your boot. Also after a full wipe you should be able to get into download mode to flash via ODIN.
Install TWRP or update CWM, one version of CWM had a bug and don't let you access the sdcard.
If you choose TWRP, in the Format Menu, DO NOT use "Format Data" Second Row/Right Option. It will delete your data on the internal storage.

Make sure you have the most recent version of CWM. I can access both internal and external storage. It's downloadable from the ClockworkMod app.
i downloaded CM 10.1 RC 2 and attempted to flash and got the unlimited loader, so i went back into cwmod and whether it's flashing another rom, deleting cache using built in cache deletion, or using dark swipe cache deletion, it only ever performs the first action and freezes at that screen.
for example, 15 minutes ago i tried flashing SGH-T989_DARKSIDE.SUPER.WIPE_EXT4.zip and all it has the screen has displayed for the past 15 minutes is:
ClockworkMod Recovery v6.0.1.5
-- Installing: /sdcard/SGH-T989_DARKSIDE.SUPER.WIPE_EXT4.zip
using the "wipe cache partition" option shows:
ClockworkMod Recovery v6.0.1.5
-- Wiping cache...
Formatting /cache...
and the screen stays on that until i take out the battery. any thoughts?
Same boat
I think I am in the same boat as you, but with CMR v6.0.3.1. Bonus is I haven't figured out how to get my computer to see my phone on USB in order to reflash stock using Odin.
One thing my previous searches turned up is INFAMOUS super wipe, which I believe is what we need to use with CM10.1 rather than DARKSIDE. Can any more experienced people confirm or deny?
Thanks

While you are in download mode hook your phone up to the computer and see if it starts trying to download an odin driver or not. Mine did that one time for me. As soon as you go into download mode plug it in to see. If not redownload the adb drivers and while they are installing keep phone plugged in to usb. As far as darkside wipe you do not need that anymore and yes infamous wipe is better suited for your needs. In recovery can you access mount and storage option? if so, format data, format system. format cache, then flash new rom or recovery if possible. I do not ever dirty flash even though you can do it. I like to make sure every rom I install is clean so I always wipe cache, wipe dalvik, format data, format system, format cache, etc. Might seem like a lot to do but it always works for me.

Apologies if I am hijacking the OP, maybe you can try these things too and tell us if you have different results?
Under mounts and storage, I was able to format /data and format /system, but the phone froze up while formatting cache:
ClockworkMod Recovery v6.0.3.1
Formatting /data...
Done.
Formatting /system...
Done.

He has to re-flash a recovery with Odin. If that doesn't work, re-flashing a stock ROM with Odin will work.
It sounds like you have a problem with your USB port though, so I am not sure what you can do to fix your phone.
just installed CM11 on my galaxy s3 that had no OS on it. its in the boot up screen and it is just staying where the alien head is being circled by the arrow. any help?
i used CM11 m11 snapshot and am using philz touch recovery
Boot into recovery and use Philz to format cache, data, and advanced settings to wipe Dalvik. Then reboot.
After installing CM11, you will not have other apps such as the Play Store, email, etc.
You need to download and install Gapps in Philz. http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Google_Apps#Downloads
i got error mounting /data
Boot into Philz, format system, data, cache, Dalvik. Re-install, then, wipe data and cache again, reboot.
Did you ever encrypt your phone?
i dont think i ever did that.
What is the baseband on your phone? It can be found under Settings, About.
i cant even get into my phone.
So it just gets stuck at the CM11 boot animation?
yeah its just stuck spinning around
Did you try using the Wipre Data/Factory Reset option?
i think so, ill try that
If that doesn't work, try installing CM10.2 for the d2lte.
ive been getting error mounting /data and error mounting /storage /sd card1/ .android_secure
sdcard1 is your external card. Try removing the card and then formatting data.
says the same thing now but without the 1
wish my name was audit13 (or even audit00).
you work it !
err on the side of kindness
What was the last stock ROM you had on your phone?
Boot into download mode and let me know what it says on the screen. Let's try to figure out which bootloader is on your phone.

can i ask ya'll a simple life saving question !?
i'm unable to wipe data/factory reset.. even dalvik cache.. phone restarts into recovery or just hangs at Samsung logo upon trying to recover from Nand backup where it just fails at the point of either kernel or data wipe to further go ahead and rewrite them from the backup itself.. could be partition error maybe!?
well i'm able to mount data, but then again fail to format, it just restarts the whole recovery again..
hence, i can't do any ROM flashing, nothing whatsoever.. any inputs!?
using Odin maybe i should just install the stock firmware .tar file n then try factory reset !? it would wipe internal SD i'm sure and maybe that works..
Help me out in this brethren plz, any inputs!? my phone's almost rendered useless..
i was using my fav DN4 ROM.. when i tried to replace my phone battery, it just got stuck on Samsung logo..
unable to mount data
I got same problem
in twrp I got unable to mount data
