[Q] Please Help!! My phone doesn't boot. - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello, yesterday I tried to flash JellyBeer but when I formatted the /sdcard partition, the phone shut down and now it says:
E:could not mount /data to setup /data/media path!
When I flash the rom the phone just doesn't boot as I get bootloop on cyanogen boot animation.
Is it possible to flash roms using odin? Like converting the .rar file to .tar, don't know, just asking as stock are 1.7 GB
Thanks in advance.

[HELP] I think I have bricked it.

Guys, I was about to flash a new rom (Omega v2 for i9500) then I wiped the whole thing in CWM. But in addition to that I have formatted the system (mounts and format > format system), now device won't boot. I can get in Download Mode and Recovery mode but it just won't boot...
Now I am downloading a stock ROM from SamMobile; would it fix it if i flash it via Odin? And any suggestions?
Please tell me something because I am feeling really bad =/.

always do a backup via cwm for your rooted stock rom after rooting!
did you flash the rom after formatting system?
any way, Odin should fix it

wipe data and cache and dalvik, reflash the rom, rewipe data and cache and dalvik, reboot.
if not, you have odin.

[Help] CWM & stock recovery showing errors

Hello xda. Not a newbie, but i am suffering from a strange problem.
My Cwm recovery seems to have been corrupted after trying to flash CM7.2 rom. I can't restore my nandroid backups, & can't flash any other rom. My stock recovery too shows following errors:
last log/dev/block
E: can't mount cache,
E: can't mount system & bla bla...
Anyone knows any fix for this?????????
the best is to flash a firmware complete new with odin.
Follow the instructions on cm7 thread
once you flash percys kernel you will get mount errors
just format system data & cache in cwm as you need an ext system partition

no...can't wipe..
if you want to using cm7...you must format data...system..cache in recovery...then flash kernel and flash rom
else you go to download mode and flash stock rom with odin
goodluck

once you install the cm7 kernel you will get mount error because your file system is rfs
try to convert it with ext4 converter and that should by fix the mount error them flash the cm7 kernel and rom

Boot and recovery are on different partitions, and recovery had its own kernel.
You can wipe boot and still enter recovery -- that's what it's designed for.
