This is pretty bizarre.
I have been running CM7 nightly 180 with Trinity for about a month now. I woke up to my phone vibrating a bit - my K9 mail app got reset so it was redownloading old emails. I tried to open my Twitter app and that was reset as well. After that a bunch of force close dialogues popped up, so I rebooted my phone thinking it glitched up. Once I did that, it would show the Google logo, then the first Trinity logo, and just hang there. It did not get to the Trinity animation.
I can get into recovery, and from there I tried to restore to a backup, and it says E:Can't mount /sdcard. Do I have to Odin to fix this or is there another option? I remember the same error happening to my Vibrant, and that was the only solution.
Does anyone have any explanation as to why this happened? I didn't do anything unusual with the phone or install anything new/different at all. I plugged it in, went to bed, and woke up to this.
Strange :S. Did you try to mount SD card from recovery while you have your phone conected to PC? I hope it's not faulty storage memory problem...

I just tried, CWM says "Error mounting /sdcard!" This all happened with my Vibrant. It said all of the same things and I had to use Odin, and it worked, but my /sdcard was completely wiped. It just doesn't make sense since this time I didn't do anything differently; I think on my Vibrant I had installed a new ROM and then it messed up. This time it's like a phantom f**k up.
That doesn't sound so good . Seen few people with same problem, and most of them sent their devices for repairs. It was some hardware error where Odin couldn't help.
Can't be sure if that is the same problem, but it easily could be. I'm not expert, I'm just sharing what I've seen before. Let's hope I'm wrong about this one...
Ugh I really hope not. I bought this phone on eBay in August, I still owe money to Bill Me Later -_-
Off to Samsung it goes

Get into recovery mode by turning phone off then hold volume up button then press the power button. It should go to recovery. In recovery go to advanced the mount SD card and mount data. Then try doing a restore

Try to read again what OP wrote in his/her posts...
Have you tried flashing another recovery? Or even, lock and unlock the bootloader? It should format your sd card and that might fix it.

I recall having a similar problem in recovery, I just can't remember what I did to fix it!

Try use other version of recovery. It is a bug from I dunno which version of recovery.

I'm on version 5.0.0.0 of CWM, is that the buggy one by chance?
I can't get the USB driver to install here at work (Windows), I am going to have to wait til I get home to flash an updated version of CWM from my Mac.
Flashing a new recovery didn't help. My /sdcard still says error for everything. I wish Odin worked on Macs.
Just used someone's PC to use Odin and my phone hangs at "verify image (ipbl)... success." I think I'm going to throw in the towel and cut my losses at this point. I don't really have any other options.
Amazing but working solution for the same problem!
There is a post in Google mobile support were many people had the same problem and one guy exposes the solution, because I am new user, I can't link outside xda so I tell you the fix:
It's said to be a common hardware problem in this device, for me it just works when I power on after heating up with a hot air gun (other people say a hair dryer is enough)
I hope that you find this information useful
any news?? i have the same problem :'(
Heating Works
Thanks I have the same problem. I was not able to mount any of the system or sdcard partitions. Heated the phone with a heat gun and it starts up.

Try this. Where it says to download "Kies", you'll want "Kies Mini" downloaded on your computer.

first and foremost, thanx man
now i have one more hurdle to jump over... ive installed every samsung driver on two (2) computers and gotten the same results, None of them communicate with my phone when it is in download mode. the cpu tells me the device has malfunctioned somehow yet when "the device" is in any other mode, the two (phone and cpu) communucate just fine.
any thoughts?
heimdall uses different drivers.
no kies.
try a different DATA cord
try the 1click unbrick of you haven't done so

Why do you need download mode...??? The phone is not bricked if you have cwm ...just flash one of the flashable cwm rooted leaks...(gb uckk4 and up) to get the bootloaders... do a factory format from settings/privacy....then the phone is like new...so then..plug it up and drivers will automatically install because the partition has been reformatted ...done

i know how to see whats in the internal storage on my phone through cwm but how do i access it from my computer to place the zip file in there so i can flash the ROM?
Boot into cwm.... Go to apply sdcard update.zip.... Then you should have green recovery...then go to mounts and storage...then...mount usb storage....boom! your comouter should show your internal storage...transfer the rom of choice like normal and flash away...

Hi all,
Long time reader, first time poster.
I have a rooted LG 2x. I installed Clockworkmod from the market and installed it.
Following some guides - to boot into recover(I wanted to backup my system) I pushed Vol Down + Power, and it didnt boot into recovery.. INSTEAD.. it seems to have booted as if its factory new..!? WTF.
I checked the internal/ext SD card and the memory usage is the same.
What do I do??? I just want my old stuff back
To add to it,
I can see the folders/data in the folders through a file explorer, but for some reason it doesnt have the apps and settings?! Anyone help please?? Not sure what to do.
EDIT - Im missing all my messages as well from the inbox.. All I see are the OLD ones from the simcard..
Hopefully you guru's can help.. cos im going nuts!!!
You say you installed Clockworkmod from market and just rooted the device... You seem to have missed to install recovery and what you installed is the ROM manager and not the ROM itself, hence pressing the recovery button combo, resets the device...

Can u boot to recovery from rom manager ?
I have a g2x btw n to flash a permanent recovery u need to use nvflash ..

Thanks guys for your replies.
my phone was already rooted.. super1click, ages ago.
I just downloaded clockwork through google market on my phone.
I read that pushing the vol down + power brings up a menu, where you can CHOOSE to have your handset wiped etc, but i didnt get it. I'm in New zealand.
Anyway, I have lost all my messages.. Im just going to flash it with CM7. Im using clockworkmod to download 7.1.0RC1 right now. I have backed up my data(or whats left of it through clockworkmod.
I will give it a go soon I guess.
So i installed cm7, and im getting the boot loop thing.
Trying to work that out. Tips?
Got CWM to recover. back to square one I guess.
I have read so many guides on how to install CM7 that im so confused now.
Can I use CWM to install CM7??
Hey guys i've got my hand on an i9003 whith some problems . The phone get's very hot in any situation. Chargin on/off discharging very fast while on ,hot in cmw recovery. All aplication run normaly. No abnormal comsuption. Flashed 3 roms and now again on stock. At the last boot i had problems with cmw beeing not ablte to mount the cache and making a boot loop. After flashing the cmw many times with odin i managed to get a stok room. Now the phone starts only if it's charging. If i try to start it while not pluged in any device i get the message : power reset or uknown upload mode. And now the phone it's working but discharging very fast due to high heat. i managed to disasamble and clean all the parts and from what i feel and saw inside i think the problem it's from the internal storage. ( that's the hotest point). There is any way to get out the internal memory or just unmount it from the device and run the Rom from an external sd card?
No you cant rom is installed in system which means its on the internal sdcard so you cant change it.

OK so my galaxy note recently got stuck in a bootloop from restoring an apps system data, completely my fault, usually this would be fixed with a simple wipe/reflash but for some reason the phone will not recognize any SD card I put in it, OK so use Odin right? Nope computer won't acknowledge the phone is connected, its stock rooted with stock recovery, I'm no noob but I can't figure out why it doesn't respond to anything, no factory reset, no adb commands, nothing, anybody got an idea?

It sounds like you might need to either A) check your USB Drivers, and possibly reinstall them, or B) check the USB cable itself, as phones for some weird reason like to be connected to their OEM cables when using adb. As for your sd card, you can try reformatting it on a PC and see if it will read it then.
That's an idea, more than I had left, I'm going to try formatting the sd card like u said, as far as drivers, I've reinstalled multiple times to no avail, tried every USB cable I have OEM and specific data cables, nothing, I can get into stock recovery, but once in recovery I'm stuck because it does not read the sd card, I can wipe everything, factory reset and reboot and all I get is one big long continuous boot loop, it's so frustrating, I've never been soft bricked and couldn't fix it, it's unbelievable!
