http://imagebin.org/207052
How to solve? Thank u

Is it rfs+ext4 variant of CWM? I remember switching to extonly after such issues. There's also a flashable ZIP around that formats everything - gio-all2ext4.
You can try.

Hi, i have flashed that .zip but the situation is the same... help please!!!

Maybe you could try v. 5.0.2.6. Everything works fine for me. Further ive no idea what to do :s

its in the cm7.1(!) thread, there you can still download px-cwm-v2.zip, it is v5.0.2.6
here it is:
http://www.mediafire.com/?p7r2bcn9447bpc8
however this version may give problems too, as this is the changelog from cwm v2:
Code:
New CWM v2
special thx to ZimniY
fix error mount command
remove rfs support
but also :
Code:
Based on particle's CWM Recovery, only add ext4 support for system, data & cache
\
but this one is working for me fine too, only sometimes after going from ext4 to rfs it gives problems, then flash 5.0.2.7 with ext4+rfs support..

Hi when i try "wipe data" or "format /data" i recive this error:
Wiping data...
Formatting / data...
Error mounting /data!
Skipping format...
I have tryed restore, i recive
E: format_volume: make_extf4fs failed on /dev/block/stl13
I can replace the file stl13 with that of a nexus S with ADB?
why? i have a CWM 5.0.2.7

Stock recovery and stock ROM are installed when you flash with Odin.
Files and folders in /dev are symbolic - they are created with Linux kernel's and services' startup. They cannot be copied and transferred.
Are you trying to restore ext4-based ROM within rfs+ext CWM? My experience says it's better to install ext-only CWM if you're going back to ext-based ROM.

Hi! i have CWM ext + rfs but i tryed flash ROM with Odin but don't work!
When i finish the flash ROM stock, i have connected my phone using ADB.
I have run:
"adb shell"
"cd system"
"ls -la"
but it's empty...
/data is empty ...
Why?

After you flash stock with Odin, "update" get's installed (the screen with opened paper box) and then it's stuck at bootlogo, you have to turn it off (quickest way: pull the battery off the phone) and turn it on in recovery mode (home + power button) and clean both data and cache to be sure. Then after reboot, stock will run.
If you want to switch back to ext-based ROM, install ext-only CWM (it will complain at startup about not being able to mount /cache), format all partitions (besides /sdcard and /sd-ext if you used it), mount /system and restore from backup.
It has to work.
Download CWM from phiexz - ext-only flashable from Odin.

I can't wipe data. I recive error:
E: format_volume: make_extf4fs failed on /dev/block/stl13
i have flash recovery ext only but i haven't solved

What have you exactly done that you messed it up so hard?
Tell me each thing you did. From the first, when you were still running stock.

I have flashed AOKP for Gio... it's OK... but after 30 minutes i have flashed a kernel...
i have run: wipe davlik and wipe cache partition...reboot and the phone goes in loop in the initial screen
I don't remember name of kernel... "delano-aokp-kernel"
Partition / data I think it is damaged
...

Quite strange to me what happenned. There are metods to repartition internal storage using GNU parted. I haven't ever tried it. I can't help you here. I only suspect something has tampered in partition table.

[Q] please help - did i brick my phone using exploid method

I followed the “how to root the HTC My touch slide (exploid method) (updated 01.26.11)” to the letter. (theunlokr.com)
Everything worked well until I got into clockworkmod Recovery
I then wipe data/factory reset in recovery mode
Then I installed zip from sd card ( I select slidemeroot2.zip)
After going through the process I get an “installation aborted” message
E: Failure at line 64 symlink busybox SYSTEM:xbin/zcip
(something to that effect. I'm out of town til tomorrow to verify the exact error)
Im very frustrated and afraid I may have bricked the phone
I had to turn the phone off and am scared of turning it back on until I have a fix

What do you have in mind and how do i know the correct file to flash?
I'm just scared because it said during the method a few steps earlier: DO NOT REBOOT
I hope that i had past the stage where by rebooting it wont kill the phone

i downloaded cmGinger 1.0_signed and flashed it and it worked
so what does this mean mtd partitions set up. Does this mean i can not get anyother rom or even the stock rom back in this fone??? how did u address it?

There is a thread in the dev section on how to setup custom mtd partitions. Basically you just assign memory where you want it. If you want stock roms you should assign the normal mtd setup (given in mtd partitions thread). Oh, you'll need s-off though. There is a guide for that too in the dev section. Its actually sticked at the top. Glad i could help

[Q] Can't mount /data

I have a problem, and I'm dealing with it since this saturday. I really need my phone this evening so I really want help. My phone has since saturday a bootloop with every rom. Today I found out that it could have something in common with a error in the recoveryscreen which says it can't mount /data. CWM and the stock recovery both have this problem. Can please anyone help me? I'm really confused, because I have tried everything.
//I've discovered that the problem is that the /data partition is crashed. Is is possible to recreate the internal partition table?

I have done that already a few times.
Try flashing an ext4 converter, or re dd'ing an empty RFS format partition into place.
Already done. When I try to use ext4formatter in CWM it doesn't give an error, but when I try to do the data reset I will get an error again because it can't mount (and unmount) /data.
//And how do you add a RFS partition on the phone? Or do you mean on the SD?

Thank you for trying to help, but your answer is stupid. It's impossible to go to Kies without a (working) rom...
I think I just found something interesting to know. I tried again to install Cyanogenmod 7.2 (ported by Phiexz) and in the Aroma installer I looked at the System Info. Almost everything looks fine, but this is not good I think:
Data Size : -1MB
Free : -1MB
(/mnt/sdcard) : -1MB
Free : -1MB
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Are those partitions crashed? And how do I resize or reformat them back?
Which ext4 converter did you use?
Phiexz's if I remember correctly, uses the formatting tools included in the recovery. Mine has its own, separate binaries.
To reflash an RFS partition into place, you could use the dd command (carefully). Here's an empty RFS formated /data partition.
Or reflash back to the stock recovery and use that to format the partitions back to RFS.
Extract to your SD card and use the following command:
dd if=/sdcard/data.rfs of=/dev/block/stl13 bs=4096
Good luck,
Darkshado

I did use Phiexz's first yes. But I can't install yours. And where do I have to use dd commands? :$
What do you mean by "can't install mine"? Is there an error message or you're not sure how to do it?
If so, just apply it from the SD card like any other update.
The dd command has to be input through ADB shell while in recovery. So get ADB working if you haven't already.

I did know how to install a zip, but I tried 2 times and I think both were a bad download. Now I'm installing your Ext4 Converter.

Glad to hear that!
I had a similar problem of being unable to mount /system after installing a CM9 beta (can't remember which) and ended up solving it like that.
Hey guys i have a question relating to this dscussion. I have my gio running CM9 and i recently used BML5 to find my phone's unlock code. I have a nandroid backup of Rooted stock ROM, and when i tried to flash back to it, it said "Could format dev/block/stl13". I have the CWM 5.0.2.7 with RFS and EXT4 support, so it should work. What is the problem?
That's the thing; the exact behavior of those RFS+ext4 CWM builds when changing from one type to the other hasn't been very well documented.
I'm not sure they can format back to RFS properly.
You could always try that empty RFS partition set and attempt a restore afterwards.
What can i do if dd says, that it can't open '/dev/block/stl13': Invalid argument? I placed the data.rfs to the root directory of sdcard. Am I doing something wrong?
Can't mount /data
Hello, I have a bricked phone, and no idea why, and so far I'm unable to fix it. I've been waiting for an RMA so I can send it back to GSM Nation to evaluate and hopefully fix. My problem started when Samsung support told me to do a factory reset of my Samsung Galaxy S3, and it rebooted, then said it could not find or mount /data or anything therein. I have Not, repeat NOT, rooted my phone, it had the stock Android 4.3 OS and updates from T-mobile. The tech at the Samsung Experience Shop in the Best Buy store could not reflash it, when Kies tries to talk to the phone in Side Load mode it freezes or something, nothing happens. I downloaded ODIN 3 on Dad's win XP laptop, and in ODIN download mode the computer sees it as a new device with no driver to make it talk to it, and the drivers I've downloaded simply will not install. The installers die as soon as they run having done nothing. I am using my Samsung Chromebook to write this and have no Linux machine to work with. I am at a loss. Can you help me? Maybe I could re-install android using a microSD card?
I have the solution for data partition crash or any other partition
please do it with your responsibility but your phone is alreay bricked so it doesn't matter
hi every one i 've been through this problem for a long time and just yesterday hamdo lilah i discovered the solution it is by repartitioning your partitions with a pit file . i tried this method with samsung galaxy fit and it works even the pit file is for samsung .all you have to do is open odin included in the package then select pit file included then click start and there you go 'even if it doesn't show PASS ' after that just flash a stock rom ' or maybe any rom ' and that's it you are ready to go . i uploded the package on gulfup cause i have no account in mediafire enjoy if you face any problem just contact me or add a replay

[Q] Error at restoring Backup Rom

Need more info!
Why are you restoring?
Are you restoring same rom thats on it now?
What are you using to restore the rom?
any other info you think might be helpful!!
Sounds like it is unable to mount the data partition, if your using cwm try mounting data partition before trying restore. The partition has to be at least the same size as the original rom you made the backup from, Were you using any a2sd scripts?
etc..
I'm very sorry for not giving you full information, I'm a beginner.
1. Why are you restoring?
I installed cm9 fxp126 and - LT18i_4.1.B.0.431_(1254-2184).ftf, but this has some errors. So I troed to install Complete Xperia S Transformation - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1727506, but this could not boot, and reboot continuously.
2. I mounted data at cwm.
3. About "a2sd scripts", I don't understand what it is.

First install a fresh ftf.. Tats the base.. Then install your custom rom.. Then restart.. Then again go in recovery and flash xperia s apps. Read comments in the xperia s apps thread and make sure the zip is error free

Don't know about the layout for that rom but its always good to format any partitions before attempting a restore. Its a possibility that you have changed the layout in your nand. Try to install the new rom again. Let us know
To restore you're backup you will have to reset the same partition layout on your nand to the way it was before.

Hi!
I saw you on Android Themes section yesterday
First, you must install Custom ROM (that support the theme) before install that theme. Any stock ROM doesn't support much theming now.
So, your only choice is flash stock rom via odin, or install custom rom. :fingers-crossed:

I guess since he installed via recovery, the files goes or replaced in /system. So, if the that files on /system that cause bootloop, wipe data/factory reset can't solve this. Since it's only wipe /data (only my opinion)

didn't knew he was on stock
and a flashable zip can have directories to /data instead of /system/app if its only a theme.
and it wipes data, cache,sd ext, and android.secure.

[Q] Ext partition error. Unable to wipe data, install zips and restore backups

Okay, this error have been annoying me the whole day. I have a Xperia SL rooted with .55. Everything was working completely great. Today I just tryied to restore a backup with CWM recovery, and I got this error.
Code:
E: format_volume: make_extf4fs failed on /dev/block/mmcblk0p12
I can't wipe data and I can't install any MOD or ROM properly because of that.
The most strange thing is that I don't even have a ext sd slot. I don't know why I'm getting this error.
I've been searching for fixes and all I got was completely random fixes from people that mostly doesn't even know how did they fix it. Even though, those doesn't work for me.
* I figured out that when I go on FORMAT /DATA, after that, I can wipe data, and I can (re)install the room again without any error. The problem is after I reboot the system, the error comes back, and I need to format /data if I want to install anything again without errors.
Try flash .ftf with flashtool. Wipe all.

Wrong section. Questions don't belong in the General Section. As for your problem, the best solution would be to just flash a stock ftf as mentioned by m1st3r1

why you wanna try to format in PC? if u format (regularly) in PC , it will only format your sdcard (mnt\sdcard). the mmcblk0p12 is the \system partition. u need to somehow format it first, via fastboot, or try via cwm to format \system.
and give more explanation bout the condition of your phone.. ie: rom, kernel, locked/unlocked bootloader.
i too, once, messed up my \data partition (which it's mmcblk0p14). i fixed that by using fastboot

Like i said, it's a. 55 rooted with stock Rom. Boot loader unlock alowed: yes. I tryed every kind of fix in cwm already and nothing works.
Something I never tryed is via fastboot. How do I proceed with that?
Sorry, my android life just started yesterday, I don't have much knowledge
EDIT: Ok I solved. Actually it's not like a fix, it's just like putting a silver tape to handle the problem. For some reason I'm able to advance restore system backup via CWM recovery. Every time that I do that, my CWM recovery is fully functional again, i can install mod, rom, etc. But, when I reboot into system again, the problem comes back, but I can still use my android without any problems, I just can't install anything via CWM recovery. So basically, now, every time that I want to install something in recovery, first I need to advanced restore system, and than install the rom, mod or whatever. Than I backup again in case I want to install anything else in the future, to repeat the same procedure with the last backup.
I was just having some problems when I was trying to restore the system with a md5 missing error... something like that. I solved this problem by just creating a file.txt in the backup folder and than renamed it to nandroid.md5. Magically it was fixed.
