Phone reboots when after mounting system - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989

Hi,
I have searched all over for solution, but have not found anything. There is a similar post for an Xperia, but the solution does not apply.
Anyhow, when I am in CWM Recovery with my T989 with CM10.2, and I try to mount system so I can load a new Phone.apk the phone just reboots. Any suggestions?
Thanks!

I would recommend to try TWRP (different recovery) and if not that I'm not sure

Hi,
Thanks for your reply. I ended up wiping the phone and reinstalling the image, na it is fixed now. If it happens again I will try your suggestion.
Thanks again!

I'd honestly recommend you update to a recent twrp even if the current problem is fixed. Especially if you're on an older cwm, you may end up running into other issues or bugs. Twrp is more feature-filled, too; I especially like the batch installation of zips.

Anyone know what is that issue? or know how to fix it?
It really bother me.thank you
Youre not the only one. I tried Xquzit JB roms which installs it. Went back and forth between CWM 4.8.4.5 and 6.0.1.2 and every time back up fails on 6.0.1.2. I suggest downgrading.

Couple of problems after flashing roms

Alright, so I was running MIUI on my phone, and I decided to check out some other roms. I flashed the All Stars rom, wasn't too fond of it, then I flashed CM10. After flashing CM10, the default android keyboard kept crashing (it would continually pop up saying it has stopped every few seconds or so.) Also, my when I unlock my phone, there is no lock screen. Thirdly, my home button, well, doesn't do anything when I push it.
I'm really not sure what to do at this point, I flashed AOKP and the problems still persist. Any ideas on what I could do? Thanks.
What recovery are you using?

cwm 5.0.2.7
Here's an update, I unrooted my phone, flashed back to stock and everything worked fine, rooted again, still fine. Now whenever I flash a rom, the problem comes up again. The default stock browser isn't working either. Any help on what is going on would be greatly appreciated!
if you're using cwm 5.0.2.7, then you need to use darkside scripts.

If CWM 5.0.2.7 is still not working for you, update to CWM 6.0.x.x or even better try flashing and using the latst TWRP recovery system.
Make sure you do the proper data/cache wipes before flashing the ROM again. Also, flashing the proper Gapps file for the specific ROM may help you fix the issue you are having with the home button and possibly the application issues you are having.

Actually, it's 6.0.2.7, I either mistyped or misread it, my bad. Going to try TWRP tomorrow, thanks for the help and will post updates.

What methods have you tried?
adb reboot recovery is the easiest way to get to recovery
Maybe try flashing CWM, seeing if that works, and then flashing TWRP (I've never flashed TWRP through Goo Manager so I don't know how that works)?
If you don't have adb set up, get quick boot from market and try recovery through that.
If that doesn't work, I honestly don't know. I'm assuming you've done the power off then volume up+home+power at the same time trick already.

With the goo app, I can boot directly into recovery, but my issue is that I get to the Recovery's splash screen, it hangs there for a second and immediately reboots back to system. I'm thinking to get the stock recovery back and try again I'm really not sure what the Hecks going on

I would highly recommend putting TWRP back on there. The CWM was more for testing... people have reported issues using CWM with certain ROMs. Glad you were able to get CWM on though.
Nothing wrong with CWM.

There are a number of ROMs that do not support CWM so that statement is false. FreeGS3 loses update functionality, for example.
Also, there have been complaints in the case of CWM touch of it being too easy to wipe your entire device.
Not to mention there is no Goo Manager functionality without TWRP as well.
Lots of benefits of TWRP versus CWM. I used CWM for years then had to switch to a modified TWRP for my MAXX and was more than happy when I found out the SGS3 used TWRP as well (although I wish we had the ROM slots like the MAXX though - that was actually cool)
The statement is not false. I think FreeGS3 hasn't been updated for 4.5 months? Maybe not the best example. And I still think you should use as few automated tools as possible where flashing is concerned (Goo/ROM Manager).
It can be easy to wipe the wrong partition in CWM, if you are careless or illiterate. In the 6 months that I've used it (nearly every day), I have never once wiped the wrong partition, or my entire device. Never had a backup that wouldn't restore.
I like some of what TWRP offers. But I still experience showstopping bugs with it on my device. At this time, the devs are unable to track down the cause of the problems.

Don't get me wrong, I've used CWM on many devices for years and even have a premium license for ROM Manager but I've seen a number of ROMs explicitly say not to use CWM, FreeGS3 was just the first that came to mind. I don't flash often because quite frankly, I have no problems with Wicked v8 and see no reason to switch to anything else.
And I am neither careless nor illiterate but I have accidentally borked things using CWM before in the past (it was a modified CWM Touch recovery) and I was not happy.
I think most of the complaints about CWM these days though come from CWM Touch, not regular CWM. Sorry TWRP has issues for you.
OK, so I'm getting a new issue, I changed to AOKP and I had problems with the ROM saying I needed to wipe data, I did, the issue persisted for few reboots, now apps won't install, and for some reason the /data folder still displays apps from my previous ROM ugh I don't know what's happening
Oh and for some reason the app exchange service kept force closing

Which recovery? Try erasing data, cache, and system three times each and reinstalling the ROM... If that doesn't work you might consider doing a back up of everything internally stored on your phone and then wiping the internal storage entirely and starting over.

I tried. I think for some reason, the recovery isn't wiping data, even though it says so. I'm using twrp
Managed to install apps through the play website, still no go with the play store app though

[Q] Nothing but stock rom works for me anymore.(Description in thread/message)

So I was on CM10 and decided to update to the new CM10.1. My smart self decided to let the updater do it's thing and not wipe anything. I got to 10.1 without any visible problems. Then decided to wipe everything as to avoid possible future problems. After wiping, all my gapps just broke and I had to reflash them. Thats when the rest of the problems started. The gapps were still broken so I decided to wipe again and reflash both the rom and gapps. At this point I dont remember exactly but either CWM was freezing at every point or i was stuck in boot animation.
Fast forward a few days later I had to ODIN flash stock rom and trying to flash anything else just keeps me stuck in boot animation.
(Note: any CM backups keep me stuck in boot animation too)
So any help is appreciated ive tried just about everything. I also get a lot of cache errors that Im not sure of in CWM.
Sorry about the long post im fairly new to the site so i didnt know how much detail to include.
You should try TWRP and see if it works.
Ill try it and reply with results tomorrow

What cwmr version are you on? If you still using the 5.x.x.x that's why(have to use the darkside wipe script). Update your recovery through ROM mananger to the latest 6.0.2.9 or to twrp through goo manager.

Have you tried booting to recovery, then doing an advanced wipe (system/data/cache/dalvik) and reflashing rom/gapps?
What version of recovery are you using?

yes, i have. I also got back to stock, used an older recover, flashed with an older version of CM and nothing. I first was using CWM 6.0.3.7., after that I used 6.0.4.3, then an older version of TWRP but nothing. I also tried booting to system without flashing gapps.
With stock ROM everything works just fine.
Just wipeout internal and external card once and than install with twrp 2.6.1.0. And don't forget to say thanks

Well, thank you, but it didnĀ“t work.
it happened to me the same thing months ago. never had solution. still in waiting. attempt internal and external SD format. and followed the same. I hope someday they can come up with the solution! : (
i have the same problem too
I try to install multiple ROM 4.2.2 and I could only install one version AOKP Milstone JB1. I also worked the other. however all 4.1.2 rom if I worked. I could not install any 4.3 and 4.4 now does not know what is the problem but I've tried everything! anyone found the solution yet but I see I'm not the only one! (excuse my bad English, not my language )
Well you all are right, I am also using shadow mastery (stock rooted rom). Just because I had the same problem sometimes stucking and rebooting and sometimes after going in gallery. Even I can't use 4.3 and 4.4 roms. Anyone have to contact with room developer or someone who know about this problem.

You might want to find an Official T-Mobile or Telus 4.1.2 or 4.0.3/4.0.4 rom that is Odin flashable, not one that has been custom made/flashable from recovery - then just start over after getting back to true stock, change to TWRP or CWM recovery that is 4.3+ compatiable, root and then flash rom/gapps etc.
