Try to go to recovery CWM then go to mount and storage, then go to mount USB storage and then reboot. Hope this works for you.

just tried that.
it says:
E:Unable to write to ums lunfile (No such file or directory)
never seen anything like this. my previous phone was nexus s, so pretty familiar with CWM recovery and whatnot.
also moving through the CWM recovery menu
these come up in this order...
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/log
E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/last_log
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/last_log
thank you so much

Try to fix permissions in your phone, also try to put a external SD card to see if that helps. I had that problem with my vibrant before and I did all that, and works after I did that.
One question; which ROM are you using?

tried the fix permissions + sd card mounting, but no go. found something interesting on Samsung Galaxy S II I9100 thread. very similar to my issue, something to do with the pit file?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1307524&page=2
sounds like if i can get my hands on the original pit file, i should be able to recover from this awful situation.
i'm on the bloat free rom from teshxx now, but was on EaglesBlood before.
thanks for all your help!

I'm having the same problem on my gs2...im trying to find the .pit file somewhere for our 16gb's ones...If anyone knows if the file let me know
thankss

[Q] Can't mount SDCARD in recovery

Hi there
I have recently just unlocked my bootloder and i am trying to flash SETweaked through recovery. I installed Blend kernel v2 and then booted into recovery but it won't let me do anything because it says that it can't mount my sdcard. I also booted into CWM_for_Arc.img, but still the same problem.
Any ideas on how to fix this?
cheers guys

kormatoes you legend!!!!!
Did what you said and all is working perfectly, thank you very much. This is now solved but may help someone else in the future.
Thanks again

just download and use SDFormatter 3.0 to format your SD card
it works for me ...
if not , you must use Flash Tool to Flash Kernel & Offical Rom too

So you just need to format the SD card into FAT32? wouldn't all the files inside be lost?

Mounting USB storage while in CWM recovery

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:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1755165

Go to galaxys2root.com, find ur model of device. It has exact files on how to restore stock factory settings on your phone. Reroot and happy flashings

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

Fast...wasn't it?!

[Q] Problems flashing roms with CWM/TWRP

Hello, I've been trying to flash a rom and keep getting this error on TWRP:
Updating partition details...
E: Unable to open zip file.
Error flashing zip '/sdcard/update.zip'
Updating partition details...
Failed
I tried downloading a different ROM (ParanoidAndroid, then ParanoidKANGdroid, then CM10), installing from the external SD card instead of the internal one, switching from CWM to TWRP since some people have been complaining about CWM recently, and I just keep getting the same error.
Also, when I try to install the zip file from my computer instead of my phone, it won't let me put the file in any of the SD card's folders, so I'm not sure if that's normal/relevant to the problem. Would installing a custom kernel or trying to partition the SD card help? I don't have an SD card reader unfortunately but I'm pretty sure it's in fat32 format.
Thank you very much!

Whenever I get "bad" (followed by an Android robot on his back with a red shape on his front) while installing it usually just means a bad download.
Re-download to another folder (if you can download FROM your phone directly to your phone) I find that works really well.

Alright, I'll try downloading again, thanks. I have saved it in both the downloads and the ROM folder I created myself with no difference though.

I tried downloading CM10 directly from my phone to my downloads folder and still got the same error.

I had problems flashing a particular rom. Same as your having, I use TWRP. If you read in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2034844 others have same experience. There are some solutions and something about editing a script.
Sorry I can't be more helpful but this was a bit more than I could take.

Thanks! I'll be sure to read through it. No amount of help is too small at this point lol.

If your sd card is 64gig you have to use win util to format it to fat32. Google format 64 gig sd fat.

My card is only 16gigs; do I still have to format it?

You can take out the variable of the MicroSD card and flash from the internal SDcard.

I've tried both; thanks though.

What version of TWRP/CWM are you using?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda premium

TWRP 2.3.1.0 and CWM 6.0.1.2

Sounds like you are having filesystem corruption issues. I would suggest formatting your internal and/or external sdcards.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda premium

I just ordered an sd card reader so I'll check it out, thanks. I don't think I've done anything to corrupt the filesystem though. Do you think it was already corrupted when I bought it?

Stuff happens. Filesystem corruption can be cause by almost anything. Typically it happens when your device random reboots.

This may be off base here, but are you selecting the option in your recovery to "flash update.zip" rather than manually browsing for the ROM Zip?

I've tried choosing the "flash rom" option from the Goo Manager app as well as the "install" option from the recovery menu.

Same Prob, escalated...
I was having the same problem. After some research I found a tip to Delete a portion of coding in the begining of the update-script zip file. Only now it is unable to open and read the zip file. I too was doing from computer via external sd card. Have you gotten any where since?

I've had problem with TF101 flashing. At least i copied the zip files into the internal sdcard from the microsd with the trwp file manager and the problem was solved.

Have you tried using the "Mount USB Storage" option under mounts and storage? Could help you access you SD Card from your laptop.

That doesn't work on nexus devices. Adb push or adb sideload are the options.
