If you formated your internal memory you have gone to far
I can tell you that you.should never do that because it.removes important stuff
So get another sd card
Mout sd in cwm (if you.don't know how look it up)
Transfer a rom of your choice
Flash it and it.will restore the full rom

Edit: ok googled it. ill try to give it a shot

[Q] Error when formatting /data...

My phone was working fine until I upgraded two apps (I can't recall which ones) and my phone rebooted on its own; weird. I am running CM7 BTW.
I figured "No problem, I'll just flash my backup through Clockworkmod; not so. I keep getting "error formatting /data" regardless of any wipe, format I do.
I am not sure what to do from here. Please help. Searching revealed some RUU advice, but those were in other phone forums and I want to make sure I don't screw this up.

What version of cwm are you using?
Sent From My Optimized HTC Incredibly Dinc

It was the orange, but I upgraded it to see if it would work. uh, oh, as I write this, I fear worse...
Upgrading changed cwm to blue, but still same problems. It is almost as if the data directory has no write permissions.
I got impatient and used the ruu.exe from pvillecomp and now it gets stuck at the red eye droid screen and is on a reboot loop.
I can't get into recovery now, I get the phone icon with the red ! triangle. I figure cwm is gone now, so what, use unrevoked again? This would flash a new recovery, correct? Otherwise, how would I get the zip file onto the sd card now to flash via hboot? Even with a cwm, I imagine I will have the same formatting issues, unless the rom upate utility corrected those.

Try manually mounting /data before wiping it.
EDIT: Nevermind just read your other post about loosing cw recovery. Are you still s-off?

yeah, I tried every combination of mounting and formatting and it always failed with the same message. I am still S-off, so I imagine from here I can use unrevoked to flash cwm back onto it then I can try to restore from a saved ROM I have on my card. Should I do that?
I could copy the file to flash cwm file to my card instead I guess, but my card would have to be FAT32 I assume.

Well I flashed ClockworkMod 5.0.2.0 using HBOOT and now I am back to my original problem: Error while formatting /data! I can mount /data, but not format it, even through the mount menu option. Any ideas?
I don't know much about the file structure but does this not seem like a permissions issue to you guys? Fix permissions in CWM and factory resets don't help either.

By partition, do mean directories? I formatted the card to FAT32 but did not partition it in any way. I don't believe I had separate partitions on it before, but I could be wrong. Wouldn't the partitions have shown up in my Windows OS when I plugged the card in to the reader?

factory reset in hboot is different. It will probably wipe programming so you'll have to *228 1 and *228 2 to yet reprogram your phone. It'll probably wipe sdcard and emmc too. I've not tried so this is at your own risk. see if there are better options first.

I've already tried it before. It did not touch my card but did reset my phone's programming.
The restore function in CWM only touches the internal memory, correct?

No windows would not see it if its there you would need to use a program called "gparted" on your pc to get rid of it or reformat it. Also when you tried the factory reset from hboot were you on a stock recovery then or cwm?

I tried the Factory Reset from HBOOT and also the Wipe Data/Factory Reset from CWM. Occasionally I am getting the 5 vibrations and a black screen when trying to turn off and on; battery pull allows me to boot up into ROM or HBOOT.
CM7 is working now, but the hard button bindings are screwed up along with a bunch of other stuff. CWM is able to restore the system, but fails on data so it makes sense. I can't receive calls either. I was so hoping the ruu would have fixed this...
The card should have no bearing on flashing a ROM? Or am I not understanding this?
Oh, I also tried to restore and format data manually without the card in to no avail. The Wipe Data/Factory Reset formats the data folder without errors but not the manually method of formatting or the restore method.
Could this help? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=18287267

Still same error.

To return my phone under warranty to a Verizon store, do I need to make sure that the stock ROM is flashed and the phone is unrooted with S-ON again? I am starting to think this is the route I am heading down and I only have a week left on my warranty.

Very short answer.........YES!!!

*Possible Solution* If still an issue
If it is still an issue I had the same problem with my incredible.
I was playing a racing game on my phone and it just restarted on its own. When I turned it back on the phone had reset itself. Every time I would restart the phone from then on it would delete every thing I had saved like it was doing a factory reset. So I tried to do a wipe and restore and no luck. I kept getting the same errors you were getting in clockwork. I also tried the e2fsck commands from the link in the prior post and no luck.
1. I got a working HTC Incredible and booted into recovery and mounted all partitions.(/system, /data, etc.)
2. Then I used adb to pull the filesystem from the working phone with this command.
c:\android\adb pull / filesystem
This puts all the files from the phones root folder into a folder named filesystem in the same directory as the adb files.
3. After that finished I hooked the phone with the messed up partitions to the computer, booted into recovery, and mounted all partitions.
4. Then I used adb to push the filesystem from the working Incredible to the Incredible with the messed up partitions with this command.
c:\android\adb push c:\android\filesystem /
5. When it finished I rebooted the phone. It booted up and I got a few force close errors but nothing major, so I restarted and booted into recovery. When I tried to format /data it formatted like it should have.
6. Finally I downloaded the stock+ rooted rom and flashed it with clockwork and the phone booted up fine with no force closes and doesn't reset after reboot.
This worked for me and should work for anyone else that has this filesystem problem.

Can i get those files?
i dont have a working incredible. can you post a link to the working filesystem.
Thanks.

Here try this one http://dinc.does-it.net/Touch_of_Blue/filesystem.zip, im interested to see if this works for you too. It seems quite a few people have been having issues with /data latley.

I get error
Code:
push: filesystem/sys/devices/platform/android_pmem.0/power/wakeup -> /sys/devices/platform/android_pmem.0/power/wakeup
failed to copy 'filesystem/sys/devices/platform/android_pmem.0/power/wakeup' to '/sys/devices/platform/android_pmem.0/power/wakeup': Operation not permitted
i get this error trying to push the filesystem. any workaround?

Horrible Horrible Mistake

So Jelly Bean 4.2 came out and I was curious so in class today I downloaded http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1737849
correct me if I'm wrong but that's the correct ROM I should download for the GSM/HSPDA Gnex. Anyways it successfully downloads and I attempt to flash it and when I did it got stuck on the Google screen. So what I did is battery reset and flash my original JB rom I still had on the memory and re-downloaded JB 4.2 thinking it might have been a corrupted download. This time around it actually gets to booting but it bugs up on the lock screen and is on a boot loop. So what I did now is completely cleared everything from CWM, the cache, partition, dalvik, and I even formatted everything as well. Not knowing what I was doing I guess the formatting formatted my SD card so it cleared everything. I said OK, CWM has a USB mounting system I'll just hook up to my PC and put in a rom and flash it. But the problem is it's not detecting my phone, I press mount SD Card and nothing shows up on my computer. I'm confident I have the drivers installed, what else could be the problem?
tl;dr CWM mounting doesn't work with PC and I can't boot into my ROM.

man is simple to repair it !go in fastboot mode connect to your pc and open gnex toolkit reflash 4.1.2 and thats all

Ouch... You have two choices. You can Adb push xxx /sdcard or fastboot the device... I dont think mounting works in CWR on the Gnex

This is exactly right. Mounting does not give you usb mounting but makes the partition accessible from adb.

Phone won't boot. Can't mount USB. Can't flash ROM. HELP!!!

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.

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.

Did anyone ever find a solution to this problem. I'm having the same issue after doing a soft reset through the settings menu. Through Philz touch recovery wiping dalvik cache does not work and same error messages you receive come up when trying to wipe user data/factory reset through recovery. This is becoming really frustrating because I know there is a fix I just can't find it anywhere. Please help!!!!!!!

You need to debrick image and reflash/fix the corrupt partition on your phone. Go to the following thread. .http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...a-unbrick-t-mobile-s-iii-qhsusbdload-t2904318 and if you follow exactly, down to the millisecond, as instructed, you will succeed, that is assuming your device is still able initiate into "download." mode and MOST IMPORTANTLY, you have your device specific debrick image. . If and when your device does succumb and is back online, give your utmost thanks to docholiday77.
