[Q] Problem with ClockworkMod Recovery

Problem with ClockworkMod Recovery
I was trying to install MIUI ROM but after performing a data wipe I got an
E: unknown volme for path [sd/ext]
Back Menu Button Disabled
Davik Cache wiped
message.
I'm now not able to use any of the options in the first clockwork mod recovery screen even though I can freely move throughout them. Whenever I choose one the background remains but nothing happens.
Any ideas on how to fix this? I'm afraid to reboot since I have no ROM installed.

take the battery out, put it back in then power on holding the volume down button then get back in recovery wipe again then flash again

Please help!! my phone died!!!!

Hi, I need help with my SGS2 . I tried to install the miui rom and it was the first time I tried to flash a arom. I just followed the intsurctions on the following link http://androidflip.com/how-to-insta...-3-4-on-samsung-galaxy-s2-step-by-step-guide/
and I tought everything went soomthly but after I rebooted the device first it was like the miui logo on the screen and nothing happened and then I tried to reboot it then my pc did not recognize the phone when I connected it to the pc and then I took the battery off and now when start the damn phone the triangle picture comes and then just black screen nothing happens. I did make a full recovery with the rom manager before and now my question is did I just kill the phone or can I do something?
Pls help me.

There's tons of threads about your problem.
Put it in download mode and install a stock ROM using Odin. That should get you going again.

You should have CWM, so turn phone off, press volup+home+power, goto Mounts&Storage, Mount USB Storage, and connect phone to PC. Copy over whatever ROM you want, then in CWM menu clear data/factory reset, clear cache, goto advanced, clear dalvik cache, goto install zip from sdcard, choose the zip ROM file, and install it. Reboot, and you should be fine.

thank you so much guys, it helped. It is working now. I will not panic like this one next time. Once again thank you very much

Good sir, I'm also new with this rooting and flashing stuff on Android. Would this method always guarantee that the phone firmware will be fixed under any circumstances? (aside from physical damage, of course)

Let me get this straight, so basically what you are saying is:
- Wipe all the ROM data from the phone
- Install a new ROM, since all the previous corrupt ROM data is cleared
But why clear cache and then clear dalvik cache? Just curious with the difference. (Yes, I haven't rooted mine yet, because I'm still learning slowly before plunging)
Oh also, since you mentioned that we should "clear data/factory reset", doesn't that mean the phone is back to the original stock ROM already, which means we have to root it again...?

[Q] my HOX gone crazy

Hey guys,
I'm getting really frustrated with my HOX. I'm desperate for help.
I kept getting these gapps, android.acore and htc.bgp errors which caused all the apps to crash also suffered from random restarts with JB and I rollback to ICS 4.0.3. Still no good. Same stuff happening.
I did so many cache wiping, factory resets resotring my system but nothing seems to get my device to work properly for more than two days.
Sometimes i got these errors right aftor a recovery, so its not because of a specific app.
Today my phone just shut down and refused to start (HTC white screen stuck).
I tried restoring my old system image but clockworkmod gave me "Error while restoring /system!" with I/O errors.
I don't think there is anything wrong with OS but something more native not ruling out hardware\battery issues.
Any assistance would be more than helpful, i'm really struggling here ..

I don't get any replies so i'll try to explain myself better :
My HOX gets a lot of gapps/htc/android errors. Factory reset and recovery doesn't solve it.
Every two days my device is shutting itself down and won't start until I do a full recovery of the system (which sometimes fail).
Happened with JB and now with ICS stock rom.
I just downloaded a 3.14.709 backup, flashed it using clockworkmod and the first thing to appear was an android.acore error and the phone shut down.
I think there is something wrong with the hardware or serious software issue I don't understand.
Is there away to completely wipe the whole device and install everything from scratch ?
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated ..

Do a Factory Reset in recovery and go to "mounts and storage" and format system too.
Then Wipe Cache and Dalvik Cache to be sure
Now flash the rom you want + kernel from fastboot (fastboot flash boot boot.img)
If tyou still have such problems then its most likely the hardware...

Thanks a lot for the advice,
I did the following :
1. Factory reset - wipe cache \ data \ sd-card
2. Format system
3. dalvik cache and cache erase
4. download a recovery for my cid from the forum here
5. flashed boot.img
6. restored the recovery using clockworkmod
7. flashed gapps.
The device went up ok but I hope it lasts more than a day or two before it start rebooting \ crashing.
The last time I did it it gave me errors before it even showed the home screen.
Once again thanks a lot .. I will post further updates soon.

Good luck,buddy.

Tough luck,
After less than 24 hours I started getting Talk\Facebook\Play\Whatsapp has stopped.
Than the phone got into a boot loop and wouldn't start (Stuck on HTC white logo screen).
When I went into boot recovery and try to wipe the phone to load a recovery I got these errors :
E: can't mount /cache/recovery/log
E: can't open /cache/recovery/log
and
E: format_volume: make_extf4fs failed on /dev/block/mmcblk0p12
E: format_volume: make_extf4fs failed on /dev/block/mmcblk0p13
E: format_volume: make_extf4fs failed on /dev/block/mmcblk0p15
Error formatting /data!
Error formatting /sdcard!
Error formatting /system!
etc .. etc ..
And it wouldn't let me choose a backup to restore.
I'm getting more and more convinced it's not a rom\boot\kernel issue but rather a hardware issue ..
Any thoughts on my assumption or fresh ideas ?

[Q] HELP! Bricked my P600!!

Guys
really need some help here. Stupidly i decided i wanted to try my hand at installing clean rom,.
Firstly -
1. i rooted the device, and then used titanium backup to freeze some knox apps.
2. I didnt bother to put the stock recovery back on as i wanted to install clean ROM.
3. I followed the instructions i found on here to a tee - as below. They all worked perfectly.
4. I went through the install screens on CLEAN ROM - that all worked fine.
5. It ended with a screen back to TWRP and i hit reboot.
6. Not the device just gets stuck at the glowing samsung logo.
7. I can get back into TWRP but i have no idea what to do next. I have tried rebooting from TWRP, both system and power, but no luck. The device powers down, and comes back up but remains stuck on the glowing samsung logo.
What can i do?
these were the instructions i followed. Any help much appreciated, and i will chuck a couple of quid towards someone that can help.
3.
Download latest CleanRom and copy it to your SD-Card
4. ODIN
- Run Odin as administrator
- untick -Auto Reboot-
- Click -PDA- (in latest version it's -AP-) and choose your TWRP version
- Now turn off your device and restart it by holding down Power+Volume Down. Proceed with Volume Up to enter DownloadMode
- now connect your device to your PC using USB
- Device drivers should get installed if not already done
- check the Message box in Odin. There should be an "Added!!"
- There should be nothing checked but F. Reset Time
- Press -Start-
- when finished there should be a "RES OK !!" in the Message box
- TRWP is now flashed to your device
4.1.
Now restart your device manually by holding down Power+Volume Up. As soon as you see the Samsung Logo, wait a second and release the Powerbutton but keep holding Volume Up until TWRP is loaded.
5. TWRP
In TRWP
- click Wipe
- advanced wipe and check:
Dalvik, Cache, Data, Internal Storage (should be enough), System
- do NOT tick external SD. You don't want to get it wiped.
- Swipe to Wipe
Now back to Mainmenu
- click Install
- choose your desired ROM
- Swipe to Confirm Flash
- Follow Rom's Installshield and you should be good
Have fun and good luck

If you can get back to TWRP, then wipe data , cache & dalvik, then re-flash clean rom again.
If problem still persists then flash a stock rom via odin.

still no joy
I can wipe cache, system, data, but when i try to include dalvik cache i get a "Failed". the message in the screen says E: unable to mount '/cache

You shouldn`t wipe system . data , cache & dalvik was the requested options.
Now since you wiped system, your only choice is to download a stock firmware from sammobile, enter download mode power+volume down , then volume up, & flash via odin .

Hi thanks all – i think the problem was the boot loop issue. I wiped cache, dalvik cache, system, and data, one by one, and then reinstalled clean rom and it seemed to push it through. Thanks for the support though!

Almost, if it powers on and you're even getting in to recovery, bricked is not the proper term.
Bricked = no power, dead beyond repair.
All you had was a software issue.

and if twrp does not find sd card ?
then what ?..

Can boot only into CWM on Tmobile SGH T-989

I loaded CWM v5.0.2.6 then wiped cached and dalvik cache then did a master reset. After rebooted, goes into bootloop with the tmobile s2 logo, progress bar goes all the way to the right then reboots, sometimes to the middle,sticks, then reboots and repeats. I then updated the CWM to v6.0.4.3 this morning, updated fine but told me my phone was not rooted. When I try to wipe cache, it hangs on the formatting cache (don't know if this latest CWM is compatible with the t-989?) If I try to do a reset, the recovery hangs. I have had this S2 since the S2's first came out with Tmobile.
I want to install a fast kicka** rom. Well, as fast as an S2 is concerned. Just need help. Trying to learn the OS also, but for now just want to get this running. Thanks.
1.Phone is not rooted, (correction, I just ran a rooted program while in recovery and it passed,so maybe it is) I thought is was but CWM recovery said it wasn't
2. Boot loops while loading with Tmobile S2 logo displayed
3. Loaded CWM rocovery v5.0.2.6 When a master reset/wipe was performed with this version, it completed but still boot looped
4. Loaded CWM recovery v6.0.4.3 When trying to do a master reset/wipe cache, hangs and freezes. Will complete a Dalvik wipe though.
5. This 989 has been unlocked also from Tmobile

I put Carbon ROM on my phone last night, well, I tried. I put the file on an SD card, installed the card and powered up into CWM. Performed the install, everything went well as far as the output from the install went but now, as expected, do not have the T-Mobile S2 boot screen with progress bar, just a blank screen after I reboot, get the samsung logo, then it looks like something tries to start in the middle of the screen then freezes.
I can go back into CWM no problem, perform a backup, reinstall Carbon ROM, everything in CWM works, runs fine EXCEPT when reading erasing or wiping the CACHE.
And I always get the:
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/log
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/log
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/last_log
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/last_log
I have a feeling it is something with a corrupted file in the cache; wonder how I came to that deduction?
I will keep posting till this is resolved, am scouring the internet for solutions and answers to screen printouts while going through the steps
to resolve this.
