I was trying to flash a new rom and, to make things short, somehow my system and internal usb storage were wiped. So now i can't reboot and when i try to mount the usb storage from cwm to put the rom back on it it says "E:Unable to write to ums lunfile (No such file or directory)". I don't have an sd card with me right now. Is there any way i can get a rom back on my internal usb storage?
edit: I just realized i can return to stock using odin. But if anybody knows how i can mount usb storage from cwm please let me know. sorry for the noobness, i'm new to samsung.
Had the same problem
hey man I have the same problem too but my internal storage isn't wiped.
as far as I know you can only download clockworkmod recovery with ODIN.
here is the link of my thread concerning this problem in XDA:

If Odin works for you I recommend going to this address and doing exactly like the instructions given:

I tried to install starburst rom on my brand new epic 4g touch. I wiped the cache and system and everything and saved the zip file on my external sd card but when i went to flash it in clockwork it is not there. I am thinking that it is only showing the internal storage. Is there any way to access my external data form clockwork?!
Is it in advanced » mounts?
Sry for thr un definite answer
Its been a while since i rooted

unfortunately no. before this phone i had the lg optimus s so im not used to the whole two sd cards thing. Had i known it would be like this i would have made a backup before wiping. If anyone else has any ideas it would be greatly appreciated. Please dont be a brick!!!! lol

Your best bet is to run a tar file thru Odin and then place the zip on your internal. Basically I am saying flash another rom thru odin and start over
Edit
Also always do a backup!

Flash the stock eg30 tar through odin. A phone is not a brick if u can get into recovery/download mode.

Should be an option to mount USB storage in CWM so you can copy files directly from your computer to the internal SD
depending on which version of clockwork your running.
for me going to mounts and storage menu and selecting mount /sdcard worked.
Would any of you happen to know then where i might be able to get a .tar of starburst ive been searching to no avail hoping that my phone isnt an expensive paper weight
My problem is that I already wiped the system data and dalvic cache thinking i would be able to flash the rom so there is nothing for the phone to boot into.
What they're saying is to boot into download mode and flash a full stock ROM via Odin so that you can transfer the file to your internal storage. Its an extra step but shouldn't take much more than 1/2 hour.
Upgrade to CWM 5.0.2.3 and you'll get the option to install zip from internal/external media.
I updated clockworkmod recovery through rom manager. Rom manager said the install was successful. So then I boot into the recovery to flash the cyanogenmod 10 preview build. I do all my wipes data, cash, exe. Then I go to install the rom and I realize now with the new recovery I can’t install/restore anything from /extsdcard (external storage). It only has the option to install/restore from /sdcard (internal storeage) which would be fine except all my roms/backups are on my micro sdcard (external storage). I have already wiped everything so now I can’t boot my phone to fix it. Is there a way to install the old recovery after I have wiped everything. I was thinking about using Odin to flash the old recovery in download mode again (like I did when rooting) but I am not sure if this is ok to do. I tried mounting the internal storage to my pc to copy the files I need from my computer to my phone. When I plugged it in the box in the bottom right popped up and said installing drivers and they were successful but when I try mounting (anything) the computer does not recognize it. So I can’t transfer the files. Would someone who knows more than me give some advice please?

While youre in recovery, can you mount through the mounts and storage option? Im not on the recovery you are talking about but if you can mount it you can throw the rom on that way. If you cant do that you should be able to just boot up the rom thats currently on it and mount it that way. Just because you wiped everything doesnt mean that it wont boot up, it just cleared all of the data. It should load up with your previous rom.
Thank you very much. It gave me more insight on what was going on. I have my phone back up and working. I was able to flash the old recovery with odin and i hope this information will help someone else in future as well.

Hey all,
So I've run into a point with my phone (SPH-D710) where I don't know what to do. I got home today and decided to flash the SlimBean ROM. I transferred the zip's for the ROM, Gapps, and the FL24 modem to my internal SD card by uploading them to my Google Drive account and then downloading them to my phone because:
The USB connection on my phone has been janky the last few days (will charge through USB but when I plug it into a computer it gives me the "USB device has malfunctioned as is not recognized" error. I've tried turning off debugging, cleaning the USB port, tried different computers, etc. It just won't work), so I had to flash EL26 Kernel w/ CWM from Mobile ODIN (usually I use windows ODIN).
Everything seemed to go smoothly, and I booted into recovery, wiped data/factory reset, wiped cache, wiped dalvik, and then went to flash the ROM, and it says:
E:Can't open [path to ROM file]
(bad)
Installation aborted.
So I tried to go to mounts & storage in CWM and mount USB storage and it gives me the error:
E:Unable to write to ums lunfile (No such file or directory)
So now I'm stuck in CWM, with no ROM to flash, no way to transfer files to my phone, and unable to boot past the Galaxy S II logo...
Is there anything I can do? I've looked around for solutions but everything I've found the person with the problem is either able to boot into a ROM or mount their USB storage, neither of which I'm able to do.... This really sucks =\
HELP is greatly appreciated!!
Use any other device with a micro SD card. Download ROM on computer transfer to said device, put that SD card in your computer.

I believe its a mounting issue with USB. Try solution above.

Haha. I don't know how I didn't think of that. I guess because I haven't had an SD card for my phone forever. I'll have to borrow one from somebody at work in the morning, thanks!
You need a new cable... I would personally never try to flash anything over USB if i knew I had mounting device malfunction errors. Doing so is asking for a brick.

Hey guys , seeking help from the pros here.
I tried to install a new rom yesterday and mistakenly hit the format SD option instead of format System to clean phone before installing a new Rom. Now my problem is my internal memory has no files now, when going in cwm and trying to install rom from internal memory it says there are no files.
So i was wondering if anyone knows a way i can flash files back into the phone, i tried Odin and some of the flash stock rom guides here but i boot loop and it removed my cwm, so when i go into recovery i actually go into androids stock recovery mode. I have tried to flash cwm again and that seems to work but still no files in the phone. Help.

You should be able to mount sd card from recovery. Choose that option in advanced. I use twrp now and it's a bit easier to use than com. Once you mount the sd card find it on your computer move the rom zip there. Now unmount the sd and flash away.

Twrp seems easier to use and it has big buttons with the touch screen.
If you have an external sd put the rom on it from your pc. Then select external sd from twrp by touching it where it says internal and select external. Now flash a custom rom.
