cw recover says cant mount (snapshot) please help

my moms boyfriend has a rooted G2 using iceandfire 2.0 and earlier today he picked up his phone from the charger to find that it turned off by itself, he turned it back on and it stayed at
The htc screen, so I tried wiping the data to flash a new rom and it said can't mount such and such

So the big question is, why did it do this, and what can I do to fix it? Help is much appreciated since he has no backup phone and he's a heavy user so he needs his phone back up and running asap

Those errors are likely caused by a hardware error (bad internal memory chip): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1039504

Hey rickyiswhite, I've experienced the same problem with my htc hd2. I am not hundred percent sure how and why this happened, but I managed to get my phone back to life. Here are two methods which I think might help you.
1. You might be missing 'initrid' and 'zImage' files in your sd card. You need these two files to flash new rom from your sd card otherwise the phone cant 'recognize' your sd card. You can find these two files from any rom you have downloaded, just copy and paste them into your sd card's root folder.
2. If this is not the case, I would recommend you to format your sd card (fat 32, i tried once to format my sd card to ntfs, and kind of destroyed it), and clear everything inside your phone using 'task29', which means you will lose everything stored inside your phone and sd card. Then you can uninstall and reinstall the HSPL (this might not be necessary, but I did that, just to make sure everything is cleared). Afterwards you just have to flash the radio and the magldr back. What's left now is to copy your rom into your sd card, remember to copy the 'initrd' and 'zImage' as well, and flash the rom, done!
However, I can't guarantee this would work because you know, different devices, so you have to take your own risk and responsibility to do this. FYI, you can also flash a new rom through computer, using the DFT.exe inside the rom. But currently most of the roms are flashed through magldr or clk, so it would take you some time to find the rom that can be flashed directly via computer.
Anyway, good luck to you, and hope these tips might help

Problem with creating partition on SD

Hey Guys!
I got problem with creating partition on SD card. I was following this instruction:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20397925&postcount=4
Everything was OK, but when creating operation started my computer went into hibernation mode (because of my battery, I got notebook). When I plugged in my charger and turn on computer, error message has shown. Operation was aborted. And then, when I started operation once more, I got this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Still and still.
Could I do something without formatting my SD?
Sorry I'm bothering you, guys, but Uncle Google can't help me
And sorry for my English,
thanks in advice

If you want to use a2sd, link2sd, s2e or any other method, you need to partition your SD card. Luckily, there is an easy method that worked for me.
Make sure you have clockworks recovery installed and boot your Gio into recovery. Go to Advanced> partition SD card> Choose partition size and thats it.

DONT use clockword mod to do the partition. I used it at first, and it created a ext3 partition instead, so simple to ext (same as a2sd) would not work. I so i had to repartition to ext4 using the same tutorial you did. As for the error, backup the SD contents to your computer, Format it, then partition it, then put the contents back. Thats what i did

Nevermind guys, I have broken my card. Had to format it. This topic can be closed

[Q] Help with file management while inside TWRP or CWM.

I am sorry if this has been asked many times, but seriously I can not get a straight answer via the search command here on XDA.
[ PROBLEM #1 ] Can not see my phone or sdcard via TWRP file manager (recovery)
I have pluged in the cable from phone to PC. In device manager it shows me this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I have installed the Samsung USB drivers
download-samsung_usb_driver_for_moblie_phones_v1_4_6_0-exe/ and installed it.
*NOTE*
If I boot into my ROM ( Infamous custom ROM ) I can see my phone and my sdcard.
... BUT ...
Back into recovery ( Power button + Vol down ) TWRP | MOUNT | MOUNT USB w/ all boxes checked except USB-OTG
The phone is plugged into my PC, I am looking for Phone and Card via file manager ( Windows 7 ) they are not there.:
What am I doing wrong ????
===================================
[ PROBLEM #2 ] While on my phone fully booted up to any custom ROM, I go to Windows Explorer and I do see my Phone
memory AND my micro-card, but I can not create folders on my cdard via explorer. I can move folder's from
my PC to the card but not create folders there .. also all the file sizes are the same.
No matter what the size of the folder or file is, Windows show them all at 51MB. Weird.
Any thoughts on this one ???
====================================
Last issue and very important question !!
[ PROBLEM #3 ] When I want to instal a new custom ROM on my phone, I do what most people do. Backup (nandroid)
Wipe / Factory Reset, Wipe Delv. Cache and System. Then I install the ROM. My question is, ... EVEN AFTER
I do all those wipes to the system, If I look at the phone's memory, there are tons of leftover remnants there from older programs.
I would like to do a Clean Instal onto a Phone that has no folders for any old programs on it. Doesn't TWRP or CWM do that ??
I know if I use wipe internal it will clean it all out, but it will also wipe /media/data and then I am screwed right ??
Any thoughts on this ??
Thank you for reading all this ... and help me even if you know just one the solutions to any of my 3 questions !! :victory:
Cheers :highfive:

[Q] Lost SD Card - I317M on EZKAT 4.4.2 2.0

So I was attempting the tbackup fix posted here and here and lost my internal sd card as described here
Any help appreciated - text of the last post linked above as follows:
OK - so after re-booting my internal SD card seems to be "lost". A bunch of apps FC including titanium. I can access my external SD card using ES @ /storage/extsdcard but the /sdcard/ & storage/emulated are all blanks. Can someone point me in the right direction? I'm running ezkat 2.0 ROM for Note ii
Am I looking at a wipe/re-flash - might a dirty flash fix?
When I reboot recovery I can see it @ /storage/sdcard1/ and everything appears to be there still
When I usb to PC it loads as as follows:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
but both show empty when I try to open them.
Note - I also posted this question in the eZKAT Q&A thread...hopefully this is ok?
Thanks in advance,
~snowin

Yes ...try a dirty flash first.
If that does not correct the file path then a clean flash may be needed...
TIBU is a good resource...but it also has risk...in that it may restore file information and data that breaks current installations...
That includes the restoration of tibu paths using the fix...
Try a cache wipe then dirty flash....g

Thanks for the reply @gregsarg . I did try a dirty flash earlier with no success - gonna try right away with wiping cahce after I finish re-packing eZ's zip file with my modem (save some time later). If that doesn't work I think I'll try formatting /system then flashing?
What is TIBU?
Thanks,
~snowin

Tibu is titanium backup

Problem solved. Ended up having to clean wipe (did it x3 using philz to be sure) and re-flash eZKAT again. Thanks for the help!

If i flash it via odin? I'm downloadin from the India cause I live in Bangladesh, idk which make it was lol

hi,
if it's the twrp error i think it is, you need to force reboot to twrp
in twrp you need to use the full data format function.
factory reset and lesser wipe options won't do it.
the problem shows up when flashing from a jellybean rom to a kitkat rom
from a kitkat rom to a lollipop rom and vice-versa.
m

As starters flash CWM type 1st then flash WereWolf kernel then the TWRP but the above method must be done 1st

I've flashed the original firmware now but still it's on a boot loop. I think the problem lies in twrp. I couldnt sleep well last night for this....
EDIT: So yes, I've wiped the data/factory reset on the STOCK Recovery system, and rebooted the tab and it's working fine after the official update, I tried to install CWM recovery but I couldn't find any CWM recovery for TAb 8 T311. Now there's no root or recovery present on my tab. Thinking of gonna root it again via odin. Or not cause I'm gonna sell it anyway. :|
NOW I'VE THIS FREAKING BATTERY ISSUE

You can still root it but CWM may be developed soon.
