Go to cwm then storage then mount system then format system. Then wipe data and cache. Then try to flash a rom or restore your backup. Is that works?

Unable to Format System
Hi
Sounds like you have cross-linked files on system partition... search xda for the "Pit" file to fix using Odin. Just load Odin as normal but add the pit file in the relevant field.
cheers

I can't use my recovery mode!

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.
Sent from my GT-S5360 using xda app-developers app

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!

Rooting nightmare

Sorry in advance if i've posted this in the wrong place.
Can anyone help. I am wanting put Android 4.4 kitkat on my Lg g2 D802 (which i think was on EE, T-mobile) . I've tried cynamod as it's the most popular and a couple of others, but they all seem to want use the SD CARD of the phone. The G2 has not got a slot for that and from what i've read on some models there is a partition type thing on the fixed memeory. I don't have that and can't find a way round it. Does anyone know of an alternitive i can use.
Thank you

I thinks it's just the internal memory card. The one that shows up when you connect to pc

It just show INTERNAL STORAGE on my comp. The problem i've got is if i put the needed files for the rom on the memory where i know where they are. When i go to do the upgrade it deletes them as part of the upgrade. Rooting the phone was easy. it's trying to upgrade thats driving me nuts.

dont wipe internal storage

Lol not done that........yet
Sent from my LG-D802 using xda app-developers app

you MUST be wiping the internal storage aswell when "updating", there is no way the ROM.zip will wipe from your storage unless you accidentally wipe it. Just stick it in the root directory of your storage and when wiping...if you are using TWRP, do not select the option to wipe data as it will wipe your internal storage aswell. To wipe data before the flash, go into wipe, advanced and then tick every partition apart from "internal storage"

"Internal Storage" is equivalent to "SD Card". No access to root or system partitions from Windows Explorer. Just me, but I always copy ROMs and other flashable zips to the "download" folder.
I'm agreeing with MalignantQuechnitlan. I haven't used ROM Manager or Clockwork Recovery in at least a year, but it seems you must be electing to wipe your SDCard partition at some point during the installation.

Cyandelta problem

Hi everyone,
I am using CM on SD (latest nightly/latest CMW) and am having a problem with Cyandelta. It works sometimes but many times it bombs and erases the nightly about to be updated and ends with a no file found error.
The built in updater works well.
Anybody have any ideas?
Thanks,
V

You use CWM and SD? I thought that the CWM for nightlies on SD was not working yet.

On an SD card I have CWM 6.0.4.8 and the latest nightly. It runs fairly well on my NC. I'd love to figure out what is happening with Cyandelta. It does work sometimes.
I believe it's your image supporting the whole thing (generic-sdcard-v1.3-CM7-9-10-10.1-10.2-11-largest-Rev8c.img).

I have been using CWM and the nightlies on SD since about 5/15 with no problems. It installs right from the Cyandelta directory directly. This is handy since leapinlar's sdboot mount trick doesn't seem to persist with an update anymore.

The reason my sdboot trick stopped working for you is the use of CWM to install the updated ROM instead of the script installer. With the script installer the reason it stuck was the script installer does not wipe /system when it installs. It just copies the new /system files over the old /system files. That way any existing /system files that do not come with the new ROM stick. CWM wipes /system before copying the new /system files. That wipes my file that is put in /system/etc/init.d that creates sdboot.
Not that it matters since you successfully use cyandelta, but the solution is to put my 19mountsdboot file in /data/local/init.d and set its permissions to execute.

/data/local/userinit.d ??
That works perfectly. Big thanks. This is really slick on dual boot setups. That directory is visible by both EMMC and SD operating systems.

mount folder from external sdcard in internal sdcard

hi,
some apps store there data on the internal sdcard without the possibility to change the folder. i'be tried the app foldermount and could mount some foldern from the external sdcard to the internal sdcard, so the apps don't know that there store there data on /storage/sdcard1. but how can i do this without an extra app? i now that i can start scripts after android start. so i've tried this in terminal emulator
Code:
mount -o bind /storage/sdcard1/folder /storage/sdcard0/folder
but it doesn't work: "mount: Operation not permitted". how can i do this?
i use stock 4.4.2 (rooted)

I am using GL2SD app for that purpose. all the games data is in my sd card.

Not too sure what you are up to, but would symlinking work?
Sent from my D6503 using XDA Free mobile app

Maybe, but i think the extsd is fat32 and i'm not sure android can use ext formated sdcards. Fat32 doesn't support symbolic links.
I don't understand what 'bad option' mean.

I use Folder Mount for this purpose. It can move anything (per app obb/data)to external. Try it. if you like it... buy it (3 links max in free version)
Does require root though!

At the moment i use it too. but this is an extra app i have to install. Mounting with script should be the better way - but it doesnt work.
