nahh no problem dude, i know what its like to soft brick your phone so ill help to the best of my knowledge. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1126631 it's here. on teddy's first post. so pretty much, you would download it, put it onto your phone which is the /sdcard part, then 'flash it' (fancy word for install) by going into cwm mode, and going to install .zip from sd card, find the cwm3xx file at the bottom, then flash it. THEN it'll pop up a 'new' cwm mode and from there factory reset, reset the cache, go to advance and erace dalvil cahe and check your mounts, then flash the new rom..if your trying to flash a rom that is lol. if you have questions post away!
oh and i think this should go in the general section.
Im stuck on the Sidekick/Tmobile/Samsung screen now and it will vibrate once, then 3 times then wait 3 seconds then vibrate once then 3 times etc.. WHy?? is it bricked now?

Yeahh that happened to me too, and i had to odin, but it wouldnt read the phone so i had to uninstall and reinstall the drivers on my comp. then go into download mode and odin.
Yup, that kept happening to me.. Im gonna try and install this cmw now.. By the way, do i still have to check the mounts and storage because i've successfully installed the maximus rom gingerclone. Do i have to check mounts and storage everytime i need to flash a rom, if so what should they be, as far as Data, sd card, cache, and system etc..?

no you do not have to check!
Yes you do need to check! Not checking is what makes you soft-brick.
it should read:
System: Unmount
Data: Unmount
Cache: Unmount
Anything else isn't an issue.
Don't worry about the errors reading that cache file, they happen to everyone, it's part of the kernel.

I am getting this error on my sidekick 4G
E:format_volume: make extf4fs failed on /dev/block/mmcblk0p2

i was trying to upgrade to Lite'ning ROM but it gave me this error, i did already ODIN to stock and it did not work and what i mean by it did not worked i did get to stock and started from scratch but still getting the same errror..... any other suggestions?
Don't worry about that error, that just means that you don't have an android secure partition on your sdcard. nothing to worry about.
I don't see why red CWM would be any different from Orange CWM in having to check mounts... I always check my mounts, and have always had to.
well u say not to worry but i can't update the rom to the lightning rom b/c i cannot factory reset, if i don't factory reset, phone bricks
You don't have to factory reset, just make sure you check your mounts. that's why it's bricking.
ok... so what are the mounts?

You will find in the OP (original post #1) there is a step:
CWM Final
http://www.krylon360.com/file_host/sk4g/update.zip
Place in the root of your SD.
After your in clockwork mod recovery (orange) (and have downloaded the update.zip to sd card) make the selection: -apply sdcard:update.zip (this will load cwm again (red cwm)
Now: reattempt!

Ok if you heve stock and second init recovery then nothing is lost. What CWM- says is totally OK. And stock recovery always unable to read /cache/recovery/command.
What firmware were you on when installed second init? You sould try to restore the nandroid of that firmware with CWM.
If you wiped your phone with stock recovery then CWM will not work then you should flash your stock sbf with RSD lite.
ok will try when I get back home and will post the results
note: im on cm7 beta 6 b4 this happened.
Sent from my MB525 using XDA Premium App
You have to go back to Nordic, via RSD Lite .
Flash the full rom, since you already flashed the whole sbf one time, you won't be worry about downgradability, it's lost.
Then wipe again, at the end the cwm should work as expected.
Just as a note after i flashed the full Nordic sbf i got stuck so i went into stock recovery and wiped data etc. This let me boot the nordic rom. Then just need to root, install 2nd init and reinstall cm7
yay! now im on cm7 and will check if the errors are still there
and btw how do I go back to 2.2.2 stock in order to install ephunord rom
edit:
custom recovery says
E:unable to read cahe/recovery/command
E:unable to read cahe/recovery/starter
then when wiping dalvik cache on cwm
when pressing wipe dalvik cache

I think my partitions are all wacked. Anybody have a fix for this?
In the vibrant forums there are fixes with the exact same issue but i cant find any on sgs4g forum. And I obviously dont want to flash vibrant files. Their fix requires a odin pit file with partition checked.
Thanks!!
I have had this happen to me. I all I did was reformatted and partioned the drive using pc. The program is called magic something. Do that then ordinary and you should be good as new.

The method I gave you does work. I know because I made it happen last night. had voodoo enabled, ODINED KH2 (with sbl) and stock KH2 kernel, and the Pit that I pulled off my phone, it rebooted me into stock recovery, with the same error. I did a factory reset through recovery, as well as wiped cache. I still had the same error, but when I rebooted the phone (through recovery) everything came up just as it should.
i appreciate the help you've given me krylon, and i do believe you. how ever im not sure why its not working for me i also tried what you just posted. what does (with sbl) mean? when i try rebooting from the stock recovery after factory reset and cache wipe, it says cant mount data rebooting and just reboots back in to recovery, im also getting errors on factory resetting
@HB66 what do you mean ordinary? is that a program
and it will actually wipe the internal drive?
I got the rainbow screen when i boot into download mode and my phone wont rebboot fully
Sorry I ment odin but the phone got it wrong.
You need gb bootloader, odin the kernel, and kg4 should fix it. The flash your rom
Try unchecking repartition if you get that error again...

Hey guys,
The problem all started last week when I encrypted my tf300. For some reason it did not occur to me that this would be an issue when I started the process of rooting today. I used the asus bootloader unlocking tool and got fastboot to work long enough to flash cwm but when I tried to flash from sdcard it said that it cant mount sdcard. This is where I messed up. I realized that I needed to format data so that I could unencrypt. Booted to cwm and formatted system and the two others that are there but it refused to format data. Now it boots to the Asus screen and recovery does not mount sd. fastboot devices list is empty same with adb devices.
Any ideas??
Thank you
So I guess my question is how do I erase or format data partition so that i can flash a rom.
any help is appreciated.
thanks
Switch on with power + VOL down then VOL Down, then VOL Down twice to move across to WIPE DATA, VOL Up or power should select it for you.
when I select wipe data the device boots to clocworkmod recovery.

Ah you will probably need the standard recovery image as there is probably some lock on it.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1668173
You will need to ask XpLoDWilD for it then flashboot it back onto there and try again?

Standard recovery might let you wipe it.

Hello Everyone
To flash a new ROM you can do as follows:
boot in Recovery
format cache partition
from your PC use adb to mount /sdcard as tmpfs:
adb shell mount -t tmpfs none /sdcard
put your ROM on the (fake) sdcard
adb push <your rom> /sdcard
use the recovery to flesh the ROM as usual
This worked form me.

I am not very familiar with adb and fastboot i have only used it a couple times and this is when im being led through it by some forum on xda.
when i run the first line i get
error: device not found
from what i have seen this is a driver issue?
i have used this same stuff to help root my phone a while back. could that be an issue?
i tried the commands while the device was in recovery and while in fastboot mode.

Reading from that thread the only way to wipe encrypted image is if you boot into it, not sure the standard recovery will do it
When I found out that the encryption was the problem I tried to do a factory reset in the settings and it just booted me into clockworkmod. I should have just flashed stock recovery then.... lesson learned.
I hope I didnt make an expensive paperweight.

Hi guys,
i've a samsung p6200 and i was running on ics 4.0.4 austria, then i've tried to move to P6200/P6210/T869 CyanogenMod 10 using cwm recovery.
so, since then i couldn't install any other rom without bootlooping.
I tried putting back ICS (previous version) using odin like i did before, it completes without errors but i get stuck on galaxy logo.
I tried several ways of flashing through cwm and heimdall, all go through but end up with the same results :S
Can i get some help? I'm kinda lost here and don't know what to try next.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
After a weekend lost searching for a fix to my problem I've decided to take the Tab to repair at the dealer. my tab has an insurance and i will activate it.
for a small resume, i've scanned for partition errors, having received I/O error on mmcblk9 / 10 / 11.
i tried re-partition without success
at last i 've flashed my tab with pit file modified for devices who have bad sector issues and i nearly succeeded, because get an ICS boot but gave me a message that need to do a data wipe because of some encryption. when i made the wipe with the CWM recovery i get mount /data and /sdcard error...
so once that i have insurance i'll use it .
the bad news is that it can take up to ninety days, i'll prai that does not happen and take much less time.
tks
Got to the point in the How-to guide that says "Navigate to ‘wipe data/factory reset’ and select it.
Navigate to the ‘yes -- delete all user data’ and select it."
Trouble is I get "E: format volume: make_extf4fs failed on /dev/block/mmcblk0p2" and "Formatting /sdcard/ .android_secure..." and a non-functioning progress bar at the bottom.
Is this a battery pull, power off, reboot into recovery? Phone has been stuck like this for more than 30 minutes.
Edit:
Ok, after an hour I powered off and back on, seems like I have a brand new SK stock ROM again >.<
Another edit:
Tried again, same exact thing on wipe data/factory reset: "E: format volume: make_extf4fs failed on /dev/block/mmcblk0p2."
Do I need to flash the kernel like on this video? (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W33fcnWAgQg) If so, I'm not sure which kernel to use. I was hoping to flash to the JB ROM which says it contains Bali kernel.
This is no longer fun and all of my data is wiped. LOL even the Play Store is now Android Market like way back when and won't update!

Also, when flashing a custom ROM, use this CWM file in the root of your SD card (called update.zip)

AWESOME. Thank you very much for the help, flashed and running neXus JB 1.3.2.
One more question if you don't mind:
* Do I need to flash the CWM you linked every time I want to flash a custom ROM, or once it's done that it?

Once you have CWM on your phone, you don't need to run the update.zip file every you want to flash a ROM. That's it unless you go back to stock via Odin or Heimdall.
