When I try to root my phone I can't because when I click to -APPLY UPDATE FROM SD CARD- says:
E:failed to mount /sdcard (No such file or directory) E:Can't mount /sdcard
Install from sdcard complete.
I'm already installed the update.zip but says this thing again!!!!! What I have to do?
Thanks!

First go to CWM then chose storage (i dont remember) and mount sd card. Then try again..
if it dont work then you should format ur sd card

Am I just have to put the CWM to sdcard?

maybe you have the wrong update zip.

Im tried every update.zip's. And my problem its not about update.zip, about recovery mod.
Sent from my GT-S5360 using xda app-developers app

Use odin and try to flash a fresh stock rom. Then try rooting again by using zip file. Root your phone using stock recovery not cwm.

I'm already done my job with odin. I'm tried rooting again and again but it didn't worked...

Guys, I just learned my sd is not working well that's why recovery mod dont see my sd... Thank you all!

[Q] Using Link2sd in jellyblast

hey someone please tell me how can i use link2sd in JELLBLAST V3.0.1
IT shows that the sd-ext can't be mounted.
Please solve this problem
I have attached the image.

1) Try setting the mount script partition to ext2/ext3/ext4 and see if anyone of them makes the mount successful (it doesnt matter with which partition it mounts with)
2) Did you partition your sd card correctly? Mention more about how you did it..

I used Minitool partition wizard home edition to partition my sd card. set the partition as fat32...didnt really like the idea and after trying a new rom, and going back to jellyblast v3.01, i removed several apps(link2sd included) by uninstalling them through titanium backup, and then used install manager v3.5.1 to move my apps to my unpartitioned sd card

I partioned my sd card using minitool...
Kuro kernel supports link2sd or i shud reformat my sd card....???

I partioned it using minitool....
I made the sd-ext part in ext3 format....
Should i reformat the sdcard and than partion it again via cm...???
Sent from my GT-S5360 using xda app-developers app

kuro kernel supports link2sd,my expirience first partition as fat32,second as ext2-3 using minitool,no problem,no need for reformat or something in cwm.

Jelly blast has kuro kernel, it supports Link2sd, dont use mini tool, it complicates things, make it the easy way, go to CWM -> Advanced-> Partition SD card -> Give 2nd partition space-> swap as 0 and then wait till it get partitioned, now try mounting ext3 in link2sd, it must work

Thank u sir....i will try it

It's actually easy to install.
First install the basic version. The (60 I think)
Then combine the last two kernel rar files.
Then flash.

The post is actually not aligned properly which makes people confuse.
Just download savies kernel rev 73 modded by Ronnie (just look for the same title which is a download able link).
Copy it and Cwm by mad team or skin to sd card, go to recovery mode, first flash Cwm zip, and then flash the kernel zip, it shows a aroma installer, click default installation there, restart and done, check if you got 4 io s and 18 governors, if not flash again, this time choose custom installation and select all things, reboot and it will stick

That's a completely incorrect method to install that kernel since it got an aroma installer

Did you select all the governers in custom installation?
Wait, after flashing savies kernel, you get a permanent CWM, in which you need to click mount/system in mounts and storage option EVERYTIME you flash a zip, either it be a ROM/Kernel/Anything, ALWAYS mount/system when using savies kernel CWM

[Help] Flashing zip files off sdcard

EDIT: Ok, I've located where my problem is. Basically what happens is when I install the Custom ROM it replaces my 2ndInit bootmenu and CWM and it 'upgrades' them. But because it has 'upgraded' them I can no longer mount sd card. I have to reinstall 2ndInit to 'downgrade' CWM and then I can flash again.
Hi there,
A few weeks back I flashed Paranoid Android onto my phone (latest release), however now I have discovered that in recovery mode, my phone can't read or mount the sdcard, i.e. I can't apply updates.
Code:
If I select 'Install zip from sdcard > Choose zip from sdcard' I get:
E:Can't mount /sdcard/
And if I try 'Mounts and storage > mount /sdcard' I get:
Error mounting /sdcard!
I would really appreciate any help on this issue.
Note it was working previously (which is how I installed the ParanoidAndroid ROM) but now my phone can't read the sdcard in recovery. IT CAN READ IT ONCE THE PHONE HAS BOOTED UP.

Try running a chkdsk scan from a Windows machine to check if there's corruption in the filesystem

will do and will post the results, but before I do, would that show anything because the sdcard works fine once the phone has booted up?

Not sure myself, it just eliminates any filesystem corruption as the cause. Also try using another build like quarx to check for this problem

But I can't flash using recovery, so how would I test Quarx's build? Haven't had time to boot up my windows partition, but I will eventually.
EDIT: Ran fsck on fedora partition (forgot about the command). It came up with this
Code:
fsck from util-linux 2.21.2
e2fsck 1.42.3 (14-May-2012)
fsck.ext2: Is a directory while trying to open /media/CDF2-6BE2
The superblock could not be read or does not describe a correct ext2
filesystem. If the device is valid and it really contains an ext2
filesystem (and not swap or ufs or something else), then the superblock
is corrupt, and you might try running e2fsck with an alternate superblock:
e2fsck -b 8193 <device>
I've backed up my SDCard and am going to run e2fsck command (will post results) otherwise I'm going to have to reformat it
EDIT 2: Came up with same error. Should I reformat it? As ext3/ext4? What should I do?

My memory card was standard fat32
And I'm no Linux expert but I think you're trying to check for a wrong filesystem, what is your current sdcard format(filesystem)
And I think you should reformat as fat32

OK, Am backing up now. Will reformat as fat32

Ok... So now I've formatted as fat32, tried again, flashed full sbf, re-rooted phone, installed 2nd-init, flashed Quarx's latest build (before wi-fi experimentation builds) and still I have the problem

Sorry for the triple post
I've located where my problem is. Basically what happens is when I install the Custom ROM it replaces my 2ndInit bootmenu and CWM and it 'upgrades' them. But because it has 'upgraded' them I can no longer mount sd card. I have to reinstall 2ndInit to 'downgrade' CWM and then I can flash again.
Any suggestions on how I might be able to fix this?

Probably there isn't any fix, but you could make zip containing the working recovery, and flash it after every rom flash

If you could show me how to do that, I would so extremely grateful
Aparently there was a similar problem with the Defy running the 'official' CM and the wiki documented a fix here: http://oldwiki.cyanogenmod.org/wiki/Motorola_Defy:_FAQ#SD_Card
Do you think that could possibly work for the Defy+?
EDIT: However if I make a .zip file, would that put my phone in bootloop though? Because whenever I reinstall 2ndInit (v2.3) and it 'downgrades' my CWM/Bootmenu it causes a bootloop where I have to reflash everything. If I make a .zip that I flash after each install would it cause the same problem because it's 'downgrading' from the Bootmenu/CWM of the JB CM10 ROM.

I would've made you one, but unfortunately my computer is not working. I think it should be enough if the boot menu folder is replaced by your working set by a flash after every install

I really appreciate your help! I guess you could perhaps guide me in doing it, or I could wait till you've got a wroking computer.

So, computer just started working, and I made you a zip
Download the zip to your computer and extract the contents[META-INF and system) folders. Add your working bootmenu files inside the system/bootmenu folder you just extracted and delete the pre-existing text file there. Then add both META-INF and system to a zip(not rar!) and try flashing it. Make sure that the file consists of META-INF and system folders within itself. It should work
IF THERE'S A SIGNATURE VERIFICATION ERROR JUST TOGGLE SIGNATURE VERIFICATION WHICH IS PRESENT JUST BEFORE SELECTING THE ZIP FILE TO FLASH VIA RECOVERY

Thank you very much, I'll definitely try this out!
EDIT1: First attempt, didn't work
Trying something again...
EDIT2: Second attempt.... Put phone into bootloop :\
EDIT3: Third attempt... Seems like a bootloop again
So basically it changes the Recovery version (not the bootmenu) and puts it into bootloop :\ however I can flash via recovery.

Try copying only recovery folder from inside boot menu
I'll try to make a zip which first deletes the folder to avoid incompatibilities.
BTW can you enter the boot menu when there's boot loop?
And also try fixing permissions

Yeah I can enter bootmenu during bootloop before it starts. I'll retry with the recovery folder only.
EDIT: Wow it worked! Thank you so much I hope you don't mind too much, but if you can modify the recovery slightly that it'd help out a lot and make everything perfect. But I can't thank you enough
I'll upload my working Patch.zip:
If you can do these, that would be amazing: (this is from the working CWM)
1) When I select 'Wipe data/factory reset' it says 'Formatting /data...' and then immediately says 'Formatting /cache...' and when the phone boots up, all my data is there. Now that isn't a problem as such but if I needed to do a clean install that may cause some issues.
2) This isn't a problem, but I was wondering if you could add a printed line whenever I execute the 'Wipe dalvik cache' because it wipes it very fast, but doesn't say anything in the console so I'm not sure if I clicked it or not. Nevertheless when I boot my phone up it says optimising apps which means that it worked.
But yeah only minor things.
Thank you so much

1)I can't modify the recovery, since I'm not really a dev but I can try to make you another zip to wipe data separately
2)Again, that is something coded in the recovery, which I don't know how to alter. Plus, my computer isn't working again(bad ram :banghead: ) so I'm limited to the phone
But are you able at all to wipe data from the custom recovery? Bootmenu? Are both not working?

error mounting data

I was playing a game and my phone freezed and when I pulled battery and rebooted it stucked at Galaxy y logo, I booted to recovery and tried to flash a rom it saids "error mounting data" < I tried many times but no hope
I am on optimus nexusme v6 with percy cm2
Dont suggest odin cause I dont have a PC for now
thanks in advance

you can try and just format data in cwm and then try to mount it
if it doesnt mount after format then odin will be the only way
please note if you were using cm7 then using percys cm7 #2 kernel will format your data/system partition to ext4
if you flashed a rom which contained a kernel that doesnt support ext4 system partitions your phone will not boot and you will have to flash stock rom via odin to convert your phone back to rfs system partition

hells fusion #50 supports ext4 system partitions
you can flash it via cwm if you can get the zip file onto your sd via another phone that you can put your sd card in or via another form of sd card reader
but if you can mount system and data after formatting them the best way is flash stock rom via odin

you will have to flash stock rom via odin or take to a phone repair shop for reflashing as your device cant mount partitions and you cannot format them in cwm (I presume you have tried to format system data and cache in cwm)
