I've used the oneclick root/recovery script in the development forum and I am now using Clockwork Recovery 3.0.0.6. I am unable to mount the SDcard from recovery; I also have this problem with 3.0.0.5. I get the error "Unable to open ums lunfile (No such file or directory)" and googling this issue (and searching this forum) hasn't given me any help at all. Is anyone able to mount the SDcard in recovery at all?
I also would like to know why I cannot update clockwork recovery through Rom Manager. Koush has version 3.0.1.4 listed on his site here: http://www.koushikdutta.com/2010/02/clockwork-recovery-image.html. The 3.0.0.6/5 versions, in one-click root, flash zImage (recovery kernel?) but the files from Rom Manager do not have this. Why is this?
I noticed I cannot mount sd card in recovery also. I receive the same message as you did

Rom manager doesn't work on our epics. If you can't mount your SD card then you.migration need to format it. Make sure you back it up.

I just formatted the sdcard from recovery and I still have the same issue. Is there a better/different way to format it?
I'm having this problem today for the first time (i've mounted before with this version of CWM). Anybody ever find a fix?
Unable to open ums lunfile error huawei u8150
im having the same problem cant seem to load a rom on it keeps on aborting ive had hell to put on cm recovery on to this phone had to push it through my laptop just to get it to work but now im stuck its the latest recovery 5.0.2.6 how to i get this sorted as i cant load a rom to my phone its taken me 4 days to just get the recovery on the phone and now its getting this is there a update.zip tht i can dwnload to solve this problem or is there a way to get around it
Personally if I were having this much problem with the phone, I would odin back to EC05 and start from scratch.
This will get you back to COMPLETE stock.

Whenever I've had a major problem, I would do this then start from scratch to get back to a rooted state.
Make sure that if you have an MTD partition layout you use the victory.pit.
Also, as an FYI Rom Manager DOES support the Epic 4G, when you use Rom Manager make sure to choose Epic 4G, not the one with MTD.
Its a lot of work, but this way you know that you are completely back at the beginning and a chance to make no mistakes when flashing.
(Has anyone tried reflashing from Rom manager? If its possible...)
Hi guys, I have an ATT samsung galaxy SIII, and I have just followed this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1739426, and I have done everything up to booting into recovery correct (as far as I know of)
My ultimate goal is to flash CM10 onto my phone safely, and to have a backup in case anything goes wrong.
The options in recovery include
-Reboot system now
-apply update from external storage
-wipe date/factory reset
-wipe cache partition
-apply update from cache
I'm honestly lost and don't know where to go from here to flash CM10 onto my phone, sorry if I'm such a novice, but i will surely get it if someone can help me out or point me to a good guide.
Thanks for reading, please help!
I assume you are rooted and on a stock ICS ROM? If so , go into backup and restore and hit backup. After that you will need to download cm10 and put it in the root of your SD card or anywhere easy to find you will also need a zip of Google apps. then you do factory reset wipe cache and wipe dalvike and you go into flash a zip and flash your ROM and your gapps and its done

Start by going in the play store download ROM manager and install clockworkmod recovery on your phone cause you have the stock recovery
Sent from my SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app
Yes I am on stock ICS rom. I followed the top guide and when it got to the clockwork mod rom part I sort of got lost. It says
Third, (optional)
To get clockworkmod recovery loaded so you can flash whatever you want, nandroid, etc then continue on....
Once rebooted you can grab a universal recovery that works on all sgs3 LTE variants from here:
if you download this recovery you will need to extract this file (if you have issues extracting try removing the .md5 extension first) to get a recovery.img file and copy to your phone's internal /sdcard
However if you have the ATT model (not sure if this will work on Bell, Telus, Rogers, etc.), this recovery will see the extSdCard and seems better for our devices:
For ATT models use either this recovery or this touch recovery.
Can I use airdroid to put the recovery img file on my sd card? I don't understand the "this recovery will see the extSdCard part?
Thanks
It just means you can access you external sdcard from the recovery

If it is not working try this:
Download cwm recovery touch there
http://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager
Place it at the root of your sdcard and rename it recovery.IMG
Download terminal emulator from the play store
To Flash ClockworkMod Recovery: Have the recovery image on the internal memory...name as "recovery.img"
Download Android Terminal Emulator from the Play Store, have the recovery image on the internal memory, run:
Once in the terminal type: su (press enter)
Then type: dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18 (press enter)
Sent from my SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app
So let me make sure I have this straight:
I just drag and drop the recovery .img file onto my sd card.
Then go into terminal emulator and do the command he says to do
Then I use the clockwork mod app and I can flash CM10 onto my phone with the GAPPS
Thanks so much for helping me out btw
Yes for the first part but after you have done what I've told you reboot into recovery ( be sure to have the ROM you wanna flash on your SD card)
To boot in recovery shutdown the phone then hold volume up + menu and while you hold them press power till the phone shakes

Well I definately messed something up. I flashed two nights ago, then I got an update for my phone (ATT 80 mb update), and apparently lost my root. So I tried re-rooting with odin, and when it rebooted I got an
"unfortunately, android.process.acore has stopped working"
So I looked it up, and someone said to do a full wipe, so I went into recovery mode and did a full data wipe, rebooted my phone, and reflashed it with odin, and the problem has persisted. Does anyone know what to do in order to fix this?
Thanks
Do wipe data/ factory reset, go in mount and format system and data, wipe dalvik cache and flash a new rom

Hi,
I'm new here and I'd like to install a new ROM on my Gio but I want to make sure I know what I'm doing before trying something and bricking my phone. :angel:
ClockWorkMod
I installed CWM v5.2.0.6 (followed the instructions here). Is this ok, or do I need to install v5.0.2.7? And if I do need a newer version, is there a way to get an update or do I have to follow the same steps as before?
1.Download the CWM 5.0 v2 and copy to the Root (not in any folder) of your SD card
2. Put your phone in recovery Mode(press: Home button + Power button toghether)
3. In recovery mode, select the downloaded file from SD-card(Use Volume keys to navigate and home button for enter).
4. Search for the root gb updated.zip file on your SD-card
5. Run the update
6. Reboot
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I tried creating a backup with the CWM version I have, but I get this error: "Can't mount /system".
CWM does create a folder in sdcard/ clockworkmod/ backup/ date, but it only contains the following files:
recovery.img and boot.img.
However, this post says I should actually have more files in the backup folder:
.android_secure.vfat.tar ,boot.img , cache.ext4.tar , data.ext4.tar , nandroid.md5 , recovery.img, system.ext4.tar.
Is this because of my CWM version? Or maybe because I still have the operating system that came with my device (+updates)?
What I really want to know is: can I rely on this backup, will it work?
ROMs
I want to install CM10.1.5 from here, but I have many questions and I don't really know where to look for answers. (Sorry, I really am a complete noob.)
What's the difference between androidarmv6 jenkins build and mardon build? And what's the difference between the 3 versions? Can I just install the Version with CM-Superuser and not worry about it?
Should the updates be installed via CWM - apply update from SDcard? What about the additions - CWM --> install zip from SDcard?
How can I install extras if they are "not CWM flashable"?
What happens to my apps when I install a new ROM? Do I have to install them all again? Is all data lost? Or will they all be restored from my google account and the SD card or something like that?
Finally, how can I use the ext2 partition in my SDcard to install apps? Is this function included in the ROM? Or do I need to install something else? a2sd darktremor? If yes, how (I find the instructions here confusing and overwhelming, and the post is old, so probably outdated)? Or should I use the "Link2SD" addition to the ROM?
I'm sorry for asking so much, but I'm feeling kind of lost.
Thanks in advance.
Anyone?
I've continued trying to figure things out when I have time. I'll post what I find in this thread, in case someone else comes here looking for answers to similar doubts/problems.
In trying to understand what's going on with ClockWorkMod Recovery, I found this very useful link:
wwwDOTtechbiiDOTcom / cwm-recovery-cant-mount-system-error-solution-how-to/
(sorry for the DOTs and spaces, can't post outside links yet)
CWM Recovery – Can’t Mount System Error Solution [How To]
(...)
The error is an expected one and happens generally when you are trying to backup a stock ROM using the clock work mod recovery. Please, note that you can’t do a completed nandroid backup of a stock firmwares. So, just install any custom ROM and then you can backup and restore anytime.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
If I understood correctly, the best (only?) way to return to stock ROM is to install Odin or similar firmware flashing tool and to get the stock firmware from sites like sammobile.com and sampro.pl. However, it also says that not all firmwares might be available and I haven't looked more into it all of this yet.
Did you root your phone yet?
That should solve the problem from the can't mount system, data, etc

Yes, I used the instructions there to root my phone and install CWM (v5.0.2.6), but that thread is 2 years old, so I'm afraid it won't be up to date in relation to certain things. For example, I did create an ext2 partition on my SD card using those instructions, but I found an easier way to move apps from my phone to the SDcard (using the link2SD app, available on Google Play). The information about ROMs is also not up to date.
If you want to install a custom rom just
-wipe data factory reset
-wipe cache partition
-advance>wipe dalvik cache
-install zip from sdcard
-reboot
NOTE: the zip is the rom

Thank you.
My main concern at the moment is how to restore my original ROM if something should go wrong, though. I've found some interesting information in this thread but I've been busy this week and I'll need to go back and read it all with more attention before I try something.
Download ODIN 4.42 and GIO ops and a sotckrom MD5 file then put it into the odin and put your phone into recovery mdoe and plug it into your computer. Then click start
you have to put your phone in downloadmode to flash with odin as far as i know,but i have an other question;
can you use heimdall with the samsung galaxy gio
I am trying to flash a new recovery on my samsung galaxy gio with ODIN after it is bricked flashing tass- 6.0.4.5.zip(this cwm seems for the mini!!!) is this possible and if so,which one can?and how to do that...
thanks in advance
Yes it is possible and you need ODIN 4.42, GiPS and a Stock Rom extracted out of the zip.

Yesterday I wanted to completely replace TWRP 2.6.3.1 with the latest PhilZ advanced touch recovery for my Sprint Galaxy S3 (d2spr) . I booted to TWRP, flashed the latest Philz touch 6.15.4-d2spr.zip (posted on Goo.im server), didn't bother wiping dalvik+cache, and rebooted. After booting into recovery, Philz is showing up (yay!), however I see this error message:
E: could not mount /data to setup /data/media path!
E: Cannot mount path for settings file /data/philz-touch/philz-touch_6.ini
So...I'm having a few issues. First was that for some reason I was totally unable to write to my SD card. Not sure why. Therefore I reformatted the SDXC memory card to be totally blank. I was then able to successfully create the "storage/sdcard1/clockworkmod/aromafm" in which I placed the aromafm.zip. Aroma File Manager and Terminal now open correctly (phew!).
However, reading author @Phil3759 comments http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=50119209&highlight=ini#post50119209
, I should have instead created a path in internal storage using "/data/media/clockworkmod/aromafm/aromafm.zip"
Tried creating that path but the Recovery isn't seeing it.
E: could not mount /data to setup /data/media path!
I'm also did a wipe/reset of cache, and Android-Secure (internal storage?). Upon reboot the phone is now understandably stuck at the KT747 kernel boot splash screen (kernel i was running with CarbonRom previously).
Also...Phil3759 mentions the *.ini file should be located in "/data/philz_touch", however that subfolder wasn't created when I flashed this recovery zip...
My goal is to update my Galaxy S3 profile & PRL with Sprint using a TouchWiz rom (would like to flash Wicked Sensations v0.5). After the OTA update is complete...I'll flash over to Carbon KitKat nightly with either DKP or Lean kernels.
I'm not able to post my question there since it's a Dev thread, so could you help me? What do I need to do for the abovementioned Errors to go away, so I can install a ROM? Right now I'm stuck! Am I missing something

i had problems too when I 1st attempted to update philz...so I did this, links are in my guide in my signature (1st guide), redownloaded my root bundle, flashed philz again using Odin this time, philz worked 100%, then I updated my philz again with that same zip file you used actually and this time after it flashes, I went from cwm 6.0.4.5 to cwm 6.0.4.7...you then have to, while in philz recovery, go to "power options" and choose to "reboot recovery" so it refreshes...then you should be fine, I was after doing all that. other than that, I don't know what you're really trying to do, you said "ota update" so I'm guessing you're phone is updating to 4.3???? clarify that part please lol
other than that, you just need a working philz twp to flash roms, hope this helped
edit...as far as updating your profile/prl, what I do is just use my nandroid backup of my stock rooted 4.3, go update my profile and prl there, then simply flash back to my custom rom cm11 nandroid backup.
I'm running twrp 2.7.1 and have quite a few problems but I'll just start out with the backup and restore options.
The tutorials I've reviewed instructs to simple backup your stock rom and to reinstall, choose the file and restore.
Why isn't the wipe and factory restore procedure performed?
I followed the instructions and attempted to restore the latest backup but when I hit reboot I get the no OS installed warning, this is without any wipe. I doubled check the checksum of this backup for accuracy.
If I choose the earliest file from the restore list, I get no OS warning and am able to reboot back to the "older" flash of the stock rom. I actually performed the same procedure after a failed install of a custom rom with wipe. Got the OS warning after loading the latest backup but no warning with the oldest.
This only scratches my problem but I'd like to address and hopefully fix this first.
Thanks for any suggestions.
If the nandroid was made with a different version of twrp, maybe try reflashing that version and try again.
Alternatively, you could just flash whatever rom is backed up, then try to only restore the data portion.

Just tried your suggestion choosing latest backup and restoring data only. Now after the splash screen it wants to setup language, email etc. again.
What I meant was flash whatever rom it was that you were trying to restore. If its the sane rom in another backup that's fine though. Did the data restore pass the md5 check?
You can try again, but afterwards go to twrps advanced menu and copy log to SD. It may provide some clue as to what's wrong. Attach it here if you want me to take a look.

Well I'm starting to think twrp is corrupt.
I tried to load the ndroid backup I made yesterday but the log showed it was done in 8 seconds. I attempted to flash back to the original image I made 2 months ago which I have been successful doing..I thought everything was flashing when I noticed the screen is now says...
Could not do normal boot.
ODIN MODE
Product Name: SGH-1747
CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD:Yes (3 counts)
CURRENT BINARY: Custom STATUS: Custom

Do not turn off target!!!
It's been stuck on this screen for a while.
Sounds like something got corrupted, or you need to try with a different recovery. Either way its in download mode for flashing with Odin.

Have you tried using Philz Touch? I was using TWRP but ran into problems flashing ROMs. I switch to Philz and the problems went away.
Unfortunately, Philz can't restore TWRP nandroid backups.
Could I please get some advice on what to do next?
Okay, I was able to pull the battery and boot into twrp, restore the old stock rom and safely reboot but this is one of many problems.
I haven't been successful installing any roms. I've downloaded Liquid Smooth, Gummy, Carbon and Slim 4.4.4 versions and encounter the following error message.............E: Unable to open zip file
Error flashing zip / external_sd / custom rom / "file name"
I'm using a 64 gb card but am not sure how it's formatted. I've created files with the roms in the internal card but twrp doesn't see it.
I've read tutorials and researched some of the blogs and I assure you that I'm not doing anything haphazard but the amount of problems I'm having is absurd.
the only thing i can think of (and hopefully someone more knowledgeable will chime in) is if in twrp settings see if 'md5 check ' is checked. if it is then uncheck it and try to flash again. srry thats all i got right now. (or bad idea doc ?)
good luck.
err on the side of kindness
Try flashing from internal SD. Don't know why but its worked for a couple other people so far. If it still doesn't work, please use the copy log to SD option and attach it here.

I suggest Philz Touch as a substitute for TWRP. I was having problems with TWRP until I switched to Philz.
I noted that I tried to flash from the internal card but twrp could't find the folder I created.
Twrp still didn't see the files after i moved them out of the folder and placed them among the other folders.

Open a file explorer like es file explorer..create a new folder and put the ROM zip in the external SD..I had to do that and I use cwm
I created files with Astro file manager but twrp still doesn't see them on the internal card just the external but won't open the zips.
I'm just not getting much feedback on my problem. Will posting on a different forum help?
If the external sd is formatted as exFat, recovery may not be able to read it correctly. Since its a 64gb card, I bet this is the problem.
Have you gone into the mounts menu and remounted your internal sd and/or /data? Maybe its just not mounted...
You might also want to try twrp 2.6.3.1 or 2.8.0.1. You can get them from the link in my sig.
Or try philz recovery as suggested before.
