[Q] Accessing Internal Storage via CWM - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

Hi everyone. I'm wondering how to mount my internal storage from CWM. I know I've done it before so I can't figure out why it's not working. I'm currently on a stock ROM so I assume internal sd card is /sdcard right now. Anyways, when I go to Mounts and Storage in CWM and hit "mount /sdcard", it says "E: Unable to write to ums lunfile (No such file or directory) Error mounting /sdcard!" If I hit "mount /emmc", which could technically be the internal on AOKP or CM9, it works, but nothing happens. And if I hit "mount USB storage", I get the same error as from "mount /sdcard" - "E: Unable to write to ums lunfile (No such file or directory) Error mounting /sdcard!"
Please let me know how I can mount my internal storage while in CWM. And yes, my phone is plugged in.

No one knows?

usually if I have a problem and no one can help and if I can find them....I hire the A-Team
Or I just google it
http://www.google.com/search?sugexp...ome&ie=UTF-8&q=Unable+to+write+to+ums+lunfile

Haha I already googled it. My problem isn't solved by what they suggest though. Usually either mount /sdcard or mount /emmc should work, depending on which one is the internal sd. But in my case, none of them are working. But I know I've mounted it before... just can't remember how

Boot loops and CWM issues

Hello all,
i have been around on the site for a while reading, learning, and rooting my DInc. I have SkyRaider 3.5 w/ stock kernal. Currently running CWM 2.5.0.5. I was going to dip into the realm of setting CPU settings for different functions. I DLed SetCPU from the market and installed. i figured this would be a good time to do a backup through CWM in case i eff something up. after the backup completed, i selected the "reboot system now"
Upon rebooting, it loaded into my lock screen with the stock background and clock, not the ones i had before the backup process. when i did the slide unlock, it would just go to an all white screen with the htc green logo in the middle, and all my buttons but the power button were useless. strange i thought.....so i pulled the battery and proceeded into the CWM again to restore to a previous backup. got into CWM just fine, but now i had 5 message lines at the bottom of the CWM screen:
E:Cant mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p2
(file exists)
E:Cant mount CACHE:recovery/command
E:Cant mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p2
(File exists)
E:Cant mount CACHE:recovery/log
E:Cant mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p2
(File exists)
Then, i go into the backup and restore option, and select restore, it kicks me back to the main menu with 5 more messages:
E:Cant mount /dev/block/mmcblk1p1 (or /dev/bloc
k/mmcblk1)
(No such file or directory)
E:Cant mount /sdcard
E:Cant mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p2
(File exists)
E:Cant mount CACHE:recovery/log
E:Cant mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p2
(File exists)
I've tried doing a wipe data/factory reset, and it gives me a bunch of mounting errors and basically skips all format, then kicks me back to main menu in less than 3 seconds.
I've done a fair amount of research for this and can't find anything related to the DInc for this issue. Seen it on a few other devices (earlier droids) but not sure how much that info pertains to this device.
unfortunately i do not have a micro-sd card reader on my computer, so i have not tried re-flashing my ROM since i do not have a ROM on my SD card, not sure if it would be of any use since it sounds like my SD card is not mounting properly.
I will probably go out and buy a universal card reader (should come in handy) as well as a second SD card in case it happens to be the SD card that crapped out.
I figured I'd get this up here anyways to see if anyone can help.
Thanks so much for any advise or fixes you may be able to offer!

update
well, i managed to do a couple hboot updates and basically return my phone to the way it was when i got it from the store. i have no idea what caused it, but the original sd card still works, albeit reformatted, and the phone is functioning perfectly so far. I'm still curious to see if anyone had any ideas about what happened. sorry i can be of service to troubleshoot since i fixed it (the long way). my phone is too vital and i have travel coming up.
Thanks,
Trey
When I tethered my incredible to my pc I would get errors. I've had to actually run defrag on my sd card. I actually have several Micro sd readers but I was lazy and did this after tethering to my pc. Seems to have fixed the problem
So, I decided to try to go back to root last night, with the help of Preludedrew. rooted using unrevoked3 and updated to CWM 3. when it was all finished, it left me in CWM recovery and i had new E: errors:
E:Can't mount /dev/recovery/log
E:Can't open /dev/recovery/log
E:Can't mount /dev/recovery/last log ?
E:Can't open /dev/recovery/last log
when i would try to mount cache or sdcard, it would still fail, and when trying to load zip from sdcard, it would error in trying to mount sdcard.
with some more help from drew, we tried using adb shell to mount/access some partitions, and the mmcblk0p2 (i think) could not be found on the device.
thankfully the phone still booted this time, but i went into the phone settings under SD & storage...and the sdcard was there showing my 15GB of total/available space.
But....under the internal phone storage section, it said "unavailable" for both total space and available space.
so the only thing we could somewhat deduce, is that the internal phone memory has crapped out, thus when i RUU'd (?) back to stock, it could not find my phone internal storage so it just reassigned my sdcard to the 0p1 block, and where the sdcard should be in the 0p2 block there is nothing. Hence why cwm cant find anything related to my sdcard since its looking in the 0p2 block.
so now that i'm back to stock, i'll take it to the verizon store today and see what they'll do about it since the internal memory seems to be crap. i have insurance, so i dont think it will be a problem getting a new phone, unless they want to try to replace the internal memory, which is fine with me.
unless anyone has any other ideas?
sorry for the noobish verbage, i'm trying to remember what i all did at 1230 last night.
Thanks,
sorry for the quick reply, but i just had the idea to try mounting my device as disk storage, since it should come up as 2 drives (internal phone and sdcard) on my computer
both drives show up under my computer, sdcard access is fine, but when i try to access the other drive, i get "please insert a disk into drive G:"
and when i switch back to charge only, it will only say "preparing sd storage" and doesnt do "preparing phone storage" like i thought i remember it doing when it was still good.
I guess just another reaffirmation that the storage space is crap.

[Q] Internal Storage Unavailable

I am having problems with clockwork recovery.
When I open I get:
E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcb1k0p2
(File exists)
E:Can't mount CACHE:recovery/command
E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcb1k0p2
(File exists)
E:Can't mount CACHE:recovery/log
E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcb1k0p2
(File exists)
I am running stock un-rooted, s-off. I ran OTA.
I know exactly what the problem is. My internal storage of my phone wont mount.
I have read a lot of things on how to mount your internal storage. A lot of people say you just have to reboot your phone.
That didn't work.
I know the problem is defiantly not the SD card. I tried 5 different ones.
I read somewhere to remount internal storage you have to take phone apart and put internal storage chip back in.
I can't format internal storage, because it is grayed out in the option under SD card setting.
What can I do. I think I have tried everything?
Please help.

Hi,
I don't understand how you can be running unrooted but using cwm?
But I'll guess you are rooted and having problems mounting /cache (dev: /dev/block/mmcb1k0p2) which is an ext3 fs.
I had same messages for the /emmc fs, but that is msdos/fat32, so a slightly different 'cure'.
I used adb shell (or you could use term emulator) to do something like this:
su ; fsck /dev/block/mmcb1k0p2 // look up the correct qualifiers, but I think it'll default to something acceptable. Tell it to repair as needed. Reboot.
For my case I used "fsck_msdos /dev/{whateverThePathWas} and it repaired it and it mounted.
Note: Replacing , replugging the internal storage sounds iffy because all of it is on a single chip which is soldered onto the board. /dev/block/mtd* are only offsets into flash, not anything separate. It seems like more of a format issue or bad blocks.
Good luck
Hashi
PS: Depending on ROMs (I baked my own) , you might not have fsck* but I think you will. Also, some ROMs may use init.d to force an fsck already and this won't work if it did that. Worth a shot.

I kind of have an idea what you mean, but I am just rooted on stock ROM, and I don't think that has fsck, but I don't even know what that is.
I punched in that command into terminal emulator as follows:
#su ; fsck /dev/block/mmcb1k0p2 //
#
All I got in return was a hash, I rebooted, and problem wasn't fixed yet.
I am also not sure what you mean by, "look up the correct qualifiers."
fsck: permission denied is what I get when I just type that in.
Thank you. I think that I am on the right track.

Bricked A100

I was using my A100 and an application wasn't working. So i returned home, but then my A100 was blocked (I couldn't do anything). So I rebooted it, but it doesn't boot up. I can access recovery, so i tried to wipe cache. But this messages appear:
E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/command
E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/log
E: Can't open /cache/recovery/log
E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/last_log
E: Can't open /cache/recovery/last_log
-- Wiping cache...
Formatting /cache...
E:format_volume: make_extf4fs failed on /dev/block/mmcblk04
Cache wipe complete.
I can't make a backup, because it says "Can't mount backup path."
I have the first clockworkmod for the A100 installed. Please, help me.
I can't mount /sdcard too. It says: "error mounting /sdcard".
There has been alot of this happening lately. What ROM were you running when this happened?
Also, in CWM, verify which SD card is being used for backup/restore, and try toggling it around to the other one.
Also, in advanced>mounts try mounting the partitions like /system /cache /data etc and see if it gives anymore errors.

I was running the first ZeroNull Mod. When i try mounting anything, it says: "Error mounting /system!", "Error mounting /data!" and "Error mounting /cache!". Can you explain how to verify whick SD card is being used for backup/restore?

I run TWRP so this is by my phone's CWM:
Main CWM Screen
>Backup and Restore
>backup
>restore
>advanced restore
>backup to internal sdcard<<<<<try this
>restore from internal sdcard
>advanced restore from internal sdcard
>go back
Also under Mounts try /sdcard and /emmc
Don't format, just see if anything available for mounting CAN mount, or if they all fail. Also check Mount as USB storage for mounting or failing.
CWM by default uses sdcard, which is external. TWRP by default uses internal sd, however once toggled stays on external if you set it.
Then, one last thing to ask, and this is gonna get annoying I'm sure.
Go to Mounts
Select Mount /cache, /system /data /sdcard one more time each
Go back out to main menu, choose advanced
Select show log, and send what it says for each of those mounts. I mean if it says something past E can't mount /cache or whatever.

So... On my tablet, after advanced restore, i have only Go Back. I can't mount USB Storage. It says: "E: Unable to open ums lunfile (no such file or directory)". After clicking get log it says "W: failed to mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p4 (No such file or directory)
E: can't mount /cache/recovery/log
E: can't open /cache/recovery/log
W: failed to mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p4 (No such file or directory)
E: can't mount /cache/recovery/last_log
E: can't open /cache/recovery/last_log
W: failed to mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p4 (No such file or directory)
W: can't unlink /cache/recovery/command
E: can't mount /cache/recovery/log
E: can't open /cache/recovery/log
E: can't mount /cache/recovery/last_log
E: can't open /cache/recovery/last_log"
I don't have emmc as a mount option.
I will try tomorrow the other solutions you will post, because I'm going to bed now. Thank you.

CWM mounts and storage question

I was changing the "mount /system, /cache, /data" options for something then realized I forgot what the original order of the "mount or unmount" should be. Currently it is:
-mount /system
-unmount /cache
-mount /data
-mount USB storage (at the bottom)
I'm asking because when I go to settings->storage I get the "Unfortunately, settings have stopped" error. I've searched other threads and found one exactly like this from a few months ago but unfortunately there were no replies. Does anyone know what these values should be by default? Its found by booting into CWM recovery and selecting mounts and storage. Thanks.

Please help i was following this https://forum.xda-developers.com/vibe-p1/help/vibe-p1-stuck-lenovo-logo-t3554264 and now i have no internal storage partition
I was stuck at Starchms post in step 4 "format the FULL phone to ext4 format"
Right now the phone is stuck on the lenovo start screen but I can only go into TWRP.
When i connect into the computer and open "This PC/My Computer" I get a file "6039X" But when I open that it is empty.
I bought a micro SD card and I can mount that but i cant install a ROM from it. This shows up:
"Failed to mount '/system' (invalid argument)"
"Failed to mount '/data' (invalid argument)"
:'( Help I just wanted a non laggy vibe p1 not a brick :'(
