What? You flash tar files with Odin not zips, and are you using the PC version?

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.

[Q] E:unknown volume for path [/sd-ext]

Anytime I wipe Dalvik Cache I get the following message.
E:unknown volume for path [/sd-ext]
I haven't altered any of the settings in my phone (that I know of) and I seem able to read from my sd card just fine so I don't think it's negatively affecting anything but I'd like to know why I get this and what it means.
Thanks in advance.
iYeah thanks for asking that question, I've been meaning to ask that too except I get that when I nandroid, anything else is fine. It tells me that or it tells unable to read find extsd etc. My memory is fat32 and my cwm and rom support both fat and extfat.

Hey guys, yea I get the same problem, I've been trying to reflash my ROM but I get a error, status 6. So I figured I'd try factory reset but now I get this error.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1975407
Any ideas?
Just ignore it and flash away. Why not install TWRP?

That means you don't have any app in the external SD.
About the error 6. Download the ROM again.

sdcard mounting error

Ok, I have the Galaxy S3, Sprint SPH-L710. It was working fine, just wanted to clean off the sdcard to reflash with a new rom... so I noobed it up, plugged the phone in to the computer via usb, entered explorer and deleted all the directories I saw... That was bad.. I rebooted, got stuck at a samsung logo.. finally said screw it and went in to recovery (CWM v5.5.0.4).. tried to just format and recover...I get
-- Wiping data ...
Formatting /data...
Formatting /cache...
Formatting /sd-ext...
Formatting /sdcard/ . android_secure...
Error mounting /sdcard/ . android_secure!
Skipping format...
Data wipe complete.
Now, every time I try and do anything with /sdcard, it gives me an error.
I tried to use the stock rom and flash it via Odin, it passed, everything seems to be fine, but when It reboots, it hangs at the galaxy s3 logo and has done nothing. Hung for over 30 min before I just said screw it and reset the phone, went back in to CWM to see if there was any other way...
any help please?
You try formatting it with your computer? You would need an sdcard adapter.

I'm afraid that you've to format your sdcard. Do backup of both partitions, do format and let us know if it helped.

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

SM-T210R can't mount /system

Okay so today I tried to flash Inspirekat v2.1 rom on my galaxy tab 3 via latest TWRP, and after I wipe system, data, dalvik cache and cache I reboot into the system and I can't get passed the samsung galaxy tab 3 splash screen after some time I found out that the problem is the unability to mount the /system file, then I tried CWM and still the same thing.
Unfortunately I didn't make a backup because I didn't have any precious data there so I just thought I would skip that, I've also tried formatting all data on internal storage but with no avail...could anyone light up a candle for me?

If you wiped "system" after you flashed, then you no longer have a rom installed. Re-flash the rom.

Sorry I messed it up a bit in my previous post, I didn't wipe system "after" I flash but before I flashed
Every time I try to flash it just takes a minute then I reboot into the system; same thing happens then I get back into recovery to see that the /system is unmounted and can't be mounted back also when I try "repair partition" it shows that only 54mb of /system partition is used and around 1300mb is free, any insight on that?
Some errors about not being able to read storage file context and can't find path to /sdcard also appear sometimes on the log window or however it's called at the top right.

TWRP does have some issues mounting system sometimes.
Once you boot into recovery, choose the reboot recovery option and try the flash sgain.
