CWM error: can't mount /system/

okay, i've searched the forums and couldnt find anything on this, so don't flame me for posting this. I just tried to backup a ROM in CWM Recovery on my permrooted and S-off G2. it got to "Backing up system" and then said "Can't mount /system/!" and stopped the backup. is there something i'm not doing right here? Any help would be appreciated.

Which ROM are you using?

i was using a Gingerbread ROM, and i booted into recovery to make a backup so i could try a MoDaCo ROM. i tried doing the backup and it said "can't mount /system/!".. but i havent been able to reproduce the issue. maybe it was a one-time thing.

I have been experiencing this problem for over a week now. Same error I receive when I try to flash a file using Rom manager.
This problem happened to me after running fix permissions in Rom manager. I've had no luck on this good thing I have my phone stable.
Thanks for any help on this.
I'm runninng ROM CM 6.1.1

Your problem is that the Gingerbread ROM uses EXT as its format instead of yaffs. CWM was written with yaffs in mind. I had the same problem with the Gingerbread ROM, but I was able to get the Froyo ROM back on and CWM worked again.

Try flashing it through recovery. I only use ROM Manager to download the ROMs in question.

I am having the exact same problem. Gingervillian 1.5. So the solution is to go back to the froyo rom and this will fix itself? Forgive me I am a noobie.

you need to flash CWM3.0 or above. flashing ginerbread formats system into ext4. earlier versions of CWM on read up to ext3.
thanks button at the bottom.

I want to tap the thanks button -- i really do -- but I am running version 3.0.0.7, I am not sure if that is the answer. Thanks for the fast response by the way.
Now the recovery is listed as clockworkmod 2.5.1.3 -- but I cant find any later versions.

No that is not the awnser, you are running Rom Manager 3.0.0.7, you need to install ClockWorkMod Recovery 3.0.0.5 they are two diffrent things, you will know if you have flashed ClockWorkMod Recovery 3.0.0.5 by booting into recovery and if the letters are green you do not have the right recovery for GingerBread, the letters will be orange if you have CWM recovery 3.0.0.5(GingerBread Recovery) installed.
Here is a LINK to the CWM recovery for Gingerbread 3.0.0.5
You need to flash the new recovery (CWM 3.0.0.5) in Fastboot mode or use the Flash_image method(this will work for any of the Gingerbread Roms CM7, GingerVillian, etc.).

This is CLockWorkMod Recovery 3.0.0.5 for Gingerbread 2.3 Roms.
This is ClockWrokMod recovery 2.5.1.3 for Froyo 2.2 Roms.

You are a $%^# animal! Damn that worked like a champ. This android stuff is like greek to me but I am amazed at what many in these forums know.
Thanks again and here is your thanks!

I tried the flash_image method but it did't work (got stuck at white screen with htc logo when rebooted). I was lucky to be able to reflash 2.5.1.3 from Rom manager. I'm running a gingerbread rom (which I love) but I dont have the guts to try out the fastboot method (eng hboot is scary stuff..).

Huh... if u of clock work u should download a rom then mount ur sdcard put the rom in ur sdcard and flash the new rom with clockwork.

It doesn't matter now. ROM Manager is flashing 3.0.0.5, which now works with Gingerbread and Froyo ROMs.

Ok, maybe a stupid question, but I'm running 2.5.1.3 and I clearly need to update my Rom Manager. I've tried redownloading it, but it always launches as 2.5.1.3. I notice that there is an option when I launch it which says Flash ClockworkMod Recovery. Is that what I need to choose to update to the latest version? I don't want to click it and find out it reformats to phone or something.
EDIT: I figured I might as well click it and find out what happens. Turns out that is the solution. I'm now able to back up CM 7.0.3. Whew!!

Put the file I attached on your sdcard and boot into the bootloader, select update, reboot, then reboot into recovery and you'll be on amon_ra 2.3. That image is that you tried to boot into recovery, but there is no recovery.

That means that you don't have a custom recovery installed. Did you have a recovery prior to this? If you're still rooted, and your bootloader shows S-off, all you need to do is flash a custom recovery. Power your phone off. Boot to the bootloader, confirm that it shows S off. If so, cool, you just need recovery. I would use Amon Ra 2.3, it's the most reliable recovery in my opinion. I'll attatch a PC36IMG of Amon Ra 2.3. You need to download it, confirm that it's named exactly PC36IMG, and put it on the main directory of your sd card. Power your phone off, and boot to the bootloader. It will scan, and then ask you to update. Select volume up for yes. It will flash the recovery, then when it's finished, select recovery from the bootloader. You should no longer have the triangle, and now it should be a black screen, green letters, and say amon ra supersonic 2.3 or something like that, at the bottom. Make your nandroids, do your wiping and flashing from there. Good luck.

Very cool guys, thanks a bunch.
So I need to download a separate app to do back ups?
Sorry I am confused, the Hero was a little bit easier for me to figure out. IDK why this phone is giving me a hard time.
If there isa video on how to do a back up.
(EDIT) I guess I am not making myself clear. I need to know how to perform a proper back up so that once I download the new rom I have a back up incase I mess up some how.
Thanks in advanced.

Well, on amon_ra 2.3 First make a separate backup of your wimax, and then copy it to your pc for safe keeping. Then make another with everything, except the wimax...you need the first 3 options, but everything after that is at your discretion.
Edit: Well you need titanium backup [personally] recommend to backup your apps.

You boot into recovery and select backup/restore and backup if on clockwork, nandroid if on amon_ra

Im not on either? I guess. I used z4 to root. Is that my problem. I decided to start messing around with my phone again today and it got stuck on that screen of the photo I posted again. So I unhooked my battery and now it continues to boot into that screen. Any help for this? Thanks in advanced guys/gals.

Nevermind, I figured out that is I held down my volume button when I powered up it allowed me to go into that menu and then I unhooked the battery and it was able to boot up that way. Still need a link or explanation on what Amon RA is.
http://noobgui.de/wiki/index.php?title=How_to_nandroid_backup_with_Amon_RA

So what don't you understand?

I do the steps on the wiki and this comes up
So I guess I dont have amonRA, and I don't know how to get it.

Ah, no recovery. Flash the PC36IMG in the bootloader, apply update, reboot, then reboot into recovery and you'll be on amon_ra 2.3
You can also flash it from rom manager, but rom manager is only on version 2.2 of amon_ra.

Okay, wow thank you. I totally missed that earlier.

Never a problem man.

I am running my virtual window to download the file (I hate macs and androids dont like each other)
And my virtual box wont find my phone so I am having to email it to my self.

So you can't do this if you have CWM or any other custom ROM? Only if you are on an existing official ROM?

Make sure you had no space before "update"

I dunno if this was addressed somewhere else but is this FF18 different than leaked? Like has it been updated with any fixes to leaked FF18 problems?

Help please
For some reason I am unable to get the update to download from the link. Anyone else have this problem? Thanks QBKing77 for everything!
Edit: I got it to work. User error!

checked, no space at all.. what the heck?!? I'm on a Mac, does this make a difference? doubt it..just changing a file name...grrr
i tried to run it anyway and got the triangle, but rebooted luckily. will take it off sd card and rename and put it back on again and see what happens...what is everyone talking about putting the file in your "root internal memory" ?? some posts say external sd, some say internal...aye aye aye
would love to wait for the one-click but no access to a PC, only mac here

Just curious, for my own knowledge, why does the update.zip file have to be on external SD to work if the OTA can still download/install with no external SD card present? Thanks!

[Q] Fully wiped phone, root won't stick

Hello, I was flashing a couple roms last night and I decided after trying Paranoid Android Legacy and CarbonROM that I just wanted to do a clean wipe and go back to Cyanogenmod. Doing a full wipe has never been a problem for me except now in CWM I can't get root to stick, no matter what I do, and whenever I'm in recovery, I can't adb push or sideload anything to my device. I even tried installing drivers through Zadig to make a connection and that didn't work. Anyone know how I can get root to stick?

Neither. Download the recovery that ends in ".zip" (there are three different files, another is .tar) then go into recovery and flash it. Then go to the "Reboot Recovery" option. And once it reboots you'll be in Philz Recovery.

Yeah, make at least one of backup so you don't get stuck in this situation again. Really, you should be making a backup before you flash anything, every time.

Just updated to developer build of 5.0 lollipop.... Storage?

Just a quick question. I flashed a stock build then went to 5.0 with zero issues. I'm under the assumption this wiped your device as stated in the directions but for some reason I'm missing a ton of storage. Should have any 24gb of free space after a clean flash. I don't have Google+ photos synced or anything.
Anyone else see that?

Were you using factory images? Just curious. Stock recovery? Wipe data/factory reset. TWRP? Format data. Or... fastboot format userdata. That's the options that I remember hearing of but I've not had the problem myself. Any of those options will of course wipe your storage.

I actually used wugfresh toolkit bc I had a problem with adb for some reason.
I got some help from the nexus 7 community on google+ and it was as simple as just doing a factory reset. Lol. Showed up 26.9gb free after that.

I flashed the stock image using flashboot again..

Do we have root and twrp on the nexus 7 yet?

Yes. Go to the Android Development thread [http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2856920 ], post 441. You need a modified boot image for root. You can fastboot flash twrp and fastboot flash the kernel. Or, there is a zip of the kernel. Or, you could use Wug's newly updated toolkit.
