hello everyone!
i have galaxy y and here what went wrong with it
i had a custom ROM, rooted and CWM, one day i decided to change the ROM for the seek of changing just
however the new ROM for some reason didnt boot and i was in a rush and couldn't search or anything else so i just went back to stock
now im trying to root the device (which is the first thingy to do before the CWM) but now the recovery always gives me this error saying "cant mount sd card" when selecting "choose update from sd card" from the recovery and now im stuck with nothing able to do at all, cant root the device to have custom ROMs etc
update the stock ROM is of no good as i already updated the device and kies says that no update is found
any help would be highly appreciated
thanks a lot in advance
you can try flashing any of the firmwares from my firmware thread via odin (its at the top of the 5360 dev section)
have you tried another sd card?
is the sd card mountable when the phone is switched on? ie can you browse files on it
if all else failes and flashing a new stock rom firmware from my thread doesnt help you can always try formatting the sd card from your phone

may you provide me with a link to the firmware thread please?
well yep, just tried another sd card and it is mounted through recovery with no issues at all, didn't try the system file manager
yes the original sd card is mountable using the system file manager and i can browse files in it

backup your sd card contents to pc
using your phone goto
phone settings
storage
unmount sd card
format sd card
once its formatted you can copy everything back and try it

All this on a new vibrant using the stock 2.1
I've rooted the phone with one click. I've used oneclick as admin to run the 3s update.
I have update.zip loaded onto the root of my phone(not sd card)
I have clockwork recovery on my phone and i have done a backup
I have booted to recovery mode from Rom Manager then when i try to install zip from sd it takes me to a directory.
I select zip from sd card
I select sd/ and my nothing is showing there just keeps taking me back to the directory and telling me "no files found"
Sooo then i tried flash rom from sd in rom manager and it starts to flash then give a message "no sd-ext found. skipping backup of sd-ext" then it tells me to reboot.
What am i doing wrong I've been working on this since yesterday morning with no success.
sd-ext is the external sd card not the build in 16gb.
Put one microsd in with the rom you want to flash.
You need to put the rom you want to flash in the internal sd card, not the external sd.

I had done that in the first place and then when i went to boot the screen was all distorted and i couldn't see what it said so i flashed the stock rom back.
I just tried again and it said to reboot so i did and now my toxic rom seems to be working just fine. Thanks for the input
My friend deleted everything off my Iconia via Clockwork Recovery v5.0.0.0(thor......etc) and now I can't restore (i do have original backups) or install any other custom mods. PLEASE HELP!
(I've searched and there's NOTHING on this, that I can find)
What can I do? I'm in the Recovery (Power+Vol- Mode) now....

Find a stock 3.1 ROM ( so you can root) here, and flash it using power/volume.

When I say there are no files I literally mean that there in nothing on the internal drive. lol
When I click "install zip from sdcard" it tells me there are no files found. nothing in the "/" (root dir) :'(
I'm assuming there needs to be at least a folder like "/mnt/external_sd" for the Recovery Mod to access the external sd card?!
The above link requires me to access the official acer recov, don't know how to do that seeing as CWM is there.
I don't understand why they would put options in the Clockwork Recovery that could format the internal drive completely...there's no "/mnt" or "/system" or anything...
Kinda sh**ting myself as my tab is now less than a doorstop
PS. it also says "can't mount /sdcard"
HAHA.....ok, jokes on me....I just noticed that the reason for the device not picking any files up from the "sdcard" was because the damn thing formatted my EXTERNAL CARD.
So, kids...what have we learned today, beside that I'm (in the great words of Red Foreman) a dumb-ass, it's that CWM read from your EXTERNAL sdcard and NOT, i repeat, NOT your internal.
Sorry, and thanks anyway
Ummm yeah, I assumed you had no files, even before you apparently knew it. That's why I provided the link for you to d/l the stock ROM of your choice via PC, copy the files to SD card and flash using stock recovery

This is pretty common knowledge...
Never had the problem before, so I forgot, you ever forget, well, I forgot.
Thanks anywho
We all do stuff like that from time to time as we are only human. I seen people not unmount the sd card and it make the card unreadable and you can't get the files off of it then. You have that grayed out sd card, when you try to use it.
Ok lets start from the beginning:
I was trying to upade from 2.2.2 official to 2.3 official and now i'm messed up because after the step : "upgrade sd card" my phone restarted and my usb cabel was still on and phone started charging,after that i tried to turn on my phone.It worked but after 20secs my screens freezes and cant do anything even turn off i need to take battery out,also phone not detects my sim card...
Any idea? My phone is rooted,have installed CWM5.0.2.3,but have no backup only public one...But i can't mount usb storage because i get error like "E:Unable to open ums lunfile(no such file or directory)
ANY IDEAS????
I can get to pinkscreen aswell
If you have an external sd card put the public backup there and try to restore via cwm (if you get boot till there). You can also try the update procedure(the dload folder and stuff) but put them in the external sd card! The phone should boot from there.
Anyway,better wait for more answers since I'm not the best in here.I just know how to flash some custom roms.

sorry for dumb question but microsd = external sd? if yes - then i placed the backup in the card but in cwm only phone memory shows no sdcard...
Edit: external i got that
well it actually is an external microsd card
did you manage to restore via cwm?
P.S. if cwm doesn't see your se card go to advaced->reboot into recovery
should be able to see it now

When i do "reboot into recovery" my phone double restarts and 2nd time it turns on normally not into recovery...
Don't know why this is done,but I think we should be happy that your phone isn't bricked
Maybe someone else here can help you and provide better solutions than mine
Have a read through http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1639761.
Has a link in it to how I solved my issue of constant reboots.
Also , since you can load pink screen, you can connect through usb and change your recovery to 5.0.2.7. That's the one i used. Make sure that you have a cust.img file in the "image" folder. That is where the recovery should be too but am guessing you already know that.
If for some reason you dont have cust.img you can find and download a generic version in these forums. Did not need it so I did not bookmark the post I found it in but I think it was the Kalo's Honor Port thread in the pro development section.
I have a galaxy y s5360. Inorder to root my phone i have to download a file 'update.zip' and flash this file through recovery mode.
But i cant mount sdcard in recovery so i cant flash any zip files through recovery... I need to know about other meathods for rooting my phone.. Via odin or somthng like that.
Or is it possible to flash cwm via odin?? If i get cwm i can flash zip files through cwm...
Anyone plz hlp me....!!!

==============================
Keep calm and hit T H A N K S
When i select 'update zip from sdcard' it shows an error msg lyk this..
From stock recovery flash this cwm http://db.tt/H2iAe37k
Go into mounts and mount everything that's not already mounted
Go to install zip from sd card and select this zip - http://db.tt/YQheJJdD
Follow instructions in installer
If that doesn't work you can try flashing this zip in cwm - http://db.tt/8em1d7Os
If you still cannot flash files you will need to flash your stock rom via odin - see dokys thread
For rooting...u can try superone click
** rooting is new for me,
nd i am a noob to root....**

Does anyone have a guide for partitioning an SD card using TWRP 3.0.0.? The only guides I have found are for older versions and the information is not relevant any more. There is no "Partition SD card" option under "Advanced"
I have already tried using the wipe and change file system (to ext4) functions but when I did that and booted my phone the SD card was not recognised and I had to re-format the card from system settings.
I'm using a Galaxy S4 I9505 on Android 5.0.1 (rooted).
Thanks in advance

Is the option still there in TWRP 2.8.7.0? Flash that and then try the things you want.
you could just try an app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sylkat.AParted
