[Q] ext 4 problem

Ok to cut a long story short so this is what happened
1. I am using hyperion.. Because of oc feature i wanted to flash merruks kernel
2. Formatted my rom, backed up using cwm, flashed kernel via odin.. Flashed elite modules and ext4 converter and restored system data and cache
3. Rom did not boot.. So i reflashed rom and restored a previos nandroid backup..
4. To show to a friend of mine i intalled cm9 by whitexp.. No boot so restored
5. Got bored of hyperion so reflashed stock this morning via odin.. Successful flashing but before rebooting it said in recovery E: can't mount data.. Phone got bootloops...
6 reflashed hyperion restored backup and phone is working
From all thia i have concluded that my /data is converted to ext4 permanently which is supported neither by stock nor by whitexp's kernel....
So finally here is my question.. HOW CAN I FIX THIS? I want my stock rom back..
I am even comfortable with terminal emulator commands if you just tell it in a normal human understandable language... Lol
but please help me fix this.. Thanks
P.S only post reply if you really have a solution.. No noob or spam answers please

my phone is working but the problem is my /data is converted to ext4 and can not be mounted in stock rom and kernel and whitexp's kernel but is working working with savies kernel... I want to go back to stock but after flashing it reboots to recovery and installs update (apparently stock rom) and before rebooting it gives error E:cant mount data..
And phone gets bootloops.. I need to get it fixed
P.S. I am not a noob.. Dont go to my thanks meter.. Its low because i visit xda more as a visitor than a member.. And i have flashed the stock rom correctly and have done it many times before

I can't see your thanks meter am on a phone...

Install a stock rom using odin preferably a wipe package, and use totoro_0623.pit file and check repartition. It will format everything back to rfs

[Q] ClockWordMod Recovery installation of a ROM fails

Hello,
I tried multiple times to install a ROM with ClockWordMod Recovery on a rooted Samsung Galaxy Y with stock kernel & rom.
Even when I reflash the stock rom with Odin and try everything what people suggest on the internet, it doesn't work.
I get the next error when I try to install a ROM like JellyBlast or some other ROM's: Installation aborted(bad).
What can I do to fix this ?
And also it isn't possible to flash ClockWordMod Recovery for permanent, need to flash it over and over when I restart recovery.

If this problem is with multiple roms, you need to probably try another zip file of CWM. If this is for one particular rom, download the rom zip again; you must not have downloaded it fully.

there are some roms which install only via recovery not cwm..
nd if u want permanent cwm try to install a kernel with cwm like savie's kernel..
**rooting is new for me...and i am noob to root...**

This happened because ur downloaded ROM file is bad. Do a redownliading or unzip it with zipper then zip it again. Then it will be ok. Last time i had a problam like this
Sent from my GT-S5360 using xda premium

Most probably corrupted files
clearly,god is a democrat!

Thank you all for the fast responses and I tried also different roms and I have a second problem too with unzipping the roms.
When I try to unzip all of the roms that I tried, It gives an error that I can't unzip it, and I tried 4 times to download again and again the ZIP, but nothing works.
Do you guys have an idea of a kernel with permanent CWM and an ICS rom for Galaxy Y that works by installing it with CWM ?
So yes, could you please send me the XDA-thread if possible ?
@menewtoroot: Could you send me the correct topic of that Kernel with working download links and can you also confirm that this will work for a permanent CWM ?
Thank you all again, I will wait for you

Firstly :
Problem if you fail to flash, try to check the flashable zip file, maybe Bad file/corrupt file
Second :
if you want to have permanent CWM on your phone, i recommend you to try using Savie kernel
it so fast and more performance and have Permanent CWM

If you really want your phone to work fast and default CWM.
I suggest you use Merruk kernel.
Fast and bug free.
If I helped maybe you would consider hitting thanks button.

Hello guys,
I did try everything like it does need to be working, but it doesn't work.
First time I tried, the ROM booted but everything crashed so I started over again:
Wiped everything
Flashed Stock rom with Odin
Flashed the Jellyblast rom
Flashed CWM with Merruk kernel
Tried to boot and stuck at boot screen
Tried this for several times, even without flashing Merruk's kernel it doesn't work.
Can you please provide me a short SELF-MADE tutorial with the easy steps to do what and FLASH what?
With the files included please ?
Thank you all!

No - your putting your phone back to the exact state it was in when backup was made - wiping things is not necessary and it auto mounts when restoring

Yess !

I did exactly like these guys told me above :/

Oh dear - you do know to restore a cm7 backup you need to be on an ext4 partition and on percys kernel - if you flashed hyperion you will be savies kernel hence invalid boot image
flash percys kernel
reboot recovery
format system data cache flash (this changes system to ext4 for cm7 use)
advanced restore
restore system & data only

Well you should know - if you correctly flashed cm7 you would know how to flash percys kernel
If you flash roms you know how to format
and advanced recovery is in backup & restore in cwm
if you can't follow those instructions give up now and read the op of cm7 thread properly

Really are you being serious!
Steps already given
To restore cm7 backup
flash percys kernel
reboot recovery
format system data cache
advanced restore
restore system and data only
what links can you possibly need - if you have already flashed cm7 before you know where percy kernel is because you need to be on percys kernel to flash the latest percys cm7 (hint it's on percy's cm7 thread!)
if you hadn't noticed I'm getting fed up of people who want spoon feeding

Hey man. Im telling again i made a backup of my stock Rom using Clockworkmod . then i installed hyperion. now i want to go back to stock Rom using that backup. i followed steps you told earlier. it says Error loading boot image. Plz help now i!

Want to return to STOCK from CM7.2

Hi, am using now CM7.2 ROM
i want to back to my custom stock based rom ( i have nandroid backup of custom stock rom )
how can i get back using CWM???

use odin first before you restore your backup or use ext4converter of rio.. but i recommend odin for you.
Sent from my GT-S5360 using xda premium

No need to use odin
flash hells fusion #50 kernel (it supports ext4)
restart to recovery
restore your nandriod backup
if you get boot error when restore nandriod as you used a different kernel just advanced restore and restore system and data only

If direct restore the backup, then what happen..

Will probably restore but won't boot on percy cm7 kernel
that's why I said flash hells fusion #50 kernel as it supports ext4 system partitions & stock based roms so you can easily switch between hells fusion #50 kernel & stock based roms & percys kernel & cm7 based roms

Need odin download link for ubuntu

Not true - when you first flash percy's kernel you get mount errors
you just format system data cache then you can mount them

too bad i dont have source for that.. ask marcus or just follow his instructions maybe you can still revive it try to format if it can fix error
Sent from my GT-S5360 using xda premium

There's only two ways I can think of using odin/flash rom on Ubuntu
1- use virtual box and run Windows inside it
2- use Linux commands in terminal (you will have to Google if it's possible)
there is wine but unless there are drivers for ubuntu your phone won't be detected
try reading this as alternative although no guarantees it will work with galaxy y

[Q] Galaxy Y custom kernel problem

So yeah, hey XDA, first post here
I have got a problem with my SGY, whenever i flash a custom kernel via CWM, I get stuck at splash screen. And when i flash stock kernel via Odin, phone boots normally.
Do you guys know what is the problem?
Kernels I have tried:
1.Kuro - loop at splash
2.Hells-fusion - loop at splash
3.Savie - stuck at splash
Any help would be really appreciated.

Most likely you failed to mount system before flashing the zip or your baseband needs updating
Make sure you goto mounts & storage in cwm and mount system before flashing any zip (will display "unmount system" if it is mounted)
To update baseband flash one of the latest stock roms via odin - see my firmware thread - link it signature

Yeah I did mount everything in CWM, it's probably the baseband thing. I have the latest firmware file for my region (Baltic States). Will it work?
Here is the version of it:
PDA:XXMI1
MODEM:XXMG1
CSC:SEBLL1
KERNEL:XXMI1
Anyways, gonna make a nandroid backup and try to flash the whole stock firmware.
EDIT:Flashed stock with wipe, rooted, flashed savie - no luck.

Yes that's the latest firmware
The only other thing I can think of is that you are using the wrong cwm
Here is my one - Flash it in stock recovery then mount system & flash zip
http://d-h.st/u2m
Also there are different versions of savie - make sure you are using the stock one if on stock rom and not the cm one
I would use hells fusion #50 myself for testing
