Do you know if you have the updated radio (v1.00.00.0928)? If so, then you need to know that there are only a select few ROMs and kernels that will work with the updated radio. If you also have the updated hboot (v1.57, I believe), then you're kinda stuck (like me). If it's older than that, then you can try to do the RUU process to revert back to the old radio.
Good luck!

This problem generally comes due to mismatch of kernel(boot.img or bootloader) and ROM. Check weather you are using correct kernel image or not.
U said u are wiping everything that's fine. But are you flashing a boot.img before installing custom ROM.??

stuck at orange triangle.

I wiped /cache, /system, and dalvik and data. Then i tried selecting a zip file from my sd card but I was not able to do so. So i decided to power off the phone and enter recovery again but now I am stuck at the samsung galaxy triangle screen! what can i do to get out of this? This happened when I tried going from starburst 1.6 to viperROM v2.
Hey I had this same problem this afternoon and got it back to normal.
First I did a system restore following these steps,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1282420&highlight=Eg30
Then with odin rerooted with zedomax's kernel
http://downloadandroidrom.com/file/Epic4GTouch/kernel/ZedomaxEpicTouchKernel//SPH-D710_Zedomax_EpicTouchKernel-v3.tar
And then flashed the new ROM following the format system, wipe everything, install zip method.
Hope this helps

Boot into CWM and reflash the starburst rom. wipe cache, wipe dalvik caches and format system under mounts and storage.
When this problem happened to me, my phone couldn't mount the internal storage device or the sd card so it wouldn't do even a normal boot, in CWM it couldn't find any ROMs to install, and I would get error messages when trying to wipe data etc. Then after a few reboots and battery pulls it was stuck at the yellow triangle screen. Download mode was the only thing it would boot into so I was forced to follow the steps described above.

Our device does not have an sd-ext partition. Use the latest TWRP 2.6 and erase system, data, cache, and dalvik cache.
Sent from my One V using xda premium
Ohh, I have been using TWRP 2.3
Thanks! I'll try flashing TWRP 2.6
After trying to wipe it in TWRP it says unable to wipe sd/ext
Sd_ext is just a partition on you sdcard that does not exist unless you have created one.
It's just stating could not format sd_ext because it's not there
Do not fret my friend, it still factory resets like it's supposed to

[Q] Cyanogen mod endless boot, keeps on the blue circle...

I was setting my overclock with setcpu and it shut down my galaxy gio, and when it rebooted it just kept on the blue circle of cyanogen mod.
I already flashed stock and it would keep on something like the blue circle of cyanogen mod. I flashed cyanogenmod a couple of times too. Already partitioned my sd card again and i already wiped everything a couple of times too...
Someone help, i have readed like hundreds of posts and nothing seems to work
When i flashed stock i used a flashable cwm recovery, because odin dont detect my gio.
Flash stock rom and than go into stock recovery and wipe everything.
Hit thanks if I help

I have a similar problem or the same problem.
And solve it installing a new CWM only with 4ext.
Try that. Wpe everithing includind Dalvik cache.
And it should work.

Try to flash the stock rom with odin, and when the infinite boot starts, enter in the recovery and wipe everything!
This should solve your problem :victory:

your problem is really like I have before.
the only way is install with only ext4. The CWM is in this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1421650
This file: signed_cwm-5.0.2.7-flashablezip-ext4only.zip (Flash from Recovery)
Select the one that have only ext4 reinstall the CWM and clean all again and wipe all including dalvik... will work after that.
Hope have help.

then installed Jelly Bread v5.0

I enter recovery, wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache, wipe batt stats
Then install cm-10.1.4-GT-S5660-gio++.zip
Then it hung for 35mins at loading blue circle screen.
I then took battery out and enter recovery, and attempt to wipe data/fatory reset and it says:
--Wiping data...
Formatting /data...
E:format_volume: make_extf4fs failed on /dev/block/stl13
Formatting /Cache...
Formatting /sd-ext...
E:format_volume: make_extf4fs failed on /dev/block/mmcblk0p2
Formatting /sdcard/ .android secure...

YOu have the right CWM (cwm-5.0.2.7-flashablezip-ext4only.zip)
Make wipe, and format system wipe dalvik cache.
And try again.

Cheers for reply, i cannot wipe date/factory reset nor wipe dalvik cache with any recovery.
when i try to wipe dalvik cache it just goes straight back to main menu
And when i try to wipe data it gives me the error:
E:format_volume: make_extf4fs failed on /dev/block/stl13
I have started my own thread as not to highjack this one but im pretty sure we have the same problem.
Thanks again

Is strange because I have the same problem and solve with CWM only ext4. Try with the rfs r something like that.
Did you make all the steps right?
I really can't help any more I'm new in this too.
And I use a Nexus 4, the Gio is the girfriend phone and I start to change something there becsause is too slow and break all the time.
Now I install there the Light Orange V7 and it's really good...

i have tried flashing stock roms+recovery then go to CWM rfs and wipe and still get same errors
did you use cwm-5.0.2.7-flashablezip-ext4only?
Do you think its possible my /dev/block/stl13 could be physically damaged?

Yes I only use that CWM nothing more.
Maybe is damage. Becqau format he system I can do with any CWM onçy wipe the dalvik cache isn't possible.
So if you can do nothing for sure you have a hardware problema.
That happen's when your try put a custom ROM or the phone broken and after you try to solve it.

can't wipe/data factory reset or dalvik cache..

can i ask ya'll a simple life saving question !?
i'm unable to wipe data/factory reset.. even dalvik cache.. phone restarts into recovery or just hangs at Samsung logo upon trying to recover from Nand backup where it just fails at the point of either kernel or data wipe to further go ahead and rewrite them from the backup itself.. could be partition error maybe!?
well i'm able to mount data, but then again fail to format, it just restarts the whole recovery again..
hence, i can't do any ROM flashing, nothing whatsoever.. any inputs!?
using Odin maybe i should just install the stock firmware .tar file n then try factory reset !? it would wipe internal SD i'm sure and maybe that works..
Help me out in this brethren plz, any inputs!? my phone's almost rendered useless..
i was using my fav DN4 ROM.. when i tried to replace my phone battery, it just got stuck on Samsung logo..
unable to mount data
I got same problem
in twrp I got unable to mount data
my battery get problem
then my note 02 getting stuck
I was using eclipse
what should i do

Also, you can try twrp 2.8.0.1 (the one that I use).
Head up to recovery -> Wipe -> Advanced wipe
From there you can chose what to wipe (except boot, this s**t cannot be wiped).
And if this doesnt help you, just remove your SD card, go to recovery -> wipe -> factory reset (wipes everything, not sure if wiping SD card data, but it's better to remove it first) and this should do your work.
It's always working for me, even when the ROM developer says "use the recommended recovery"
