I'm getting a failure message while trying to do a wipe data/factory reset in clockwork recovery? I will do it again and get the exact verb-age in a few minute.. It's something to do with a failure ext4 in dev/block/yadayda/etc
Any ideas?
I even tried the leedroid wipe.zip file as well, and that has no errors, but then I try the clockwork wipe and I still get it...
UPDATE!!!
Here is what it says verbatim
--- Wiping data...
Formatting /data...
Formatting /cache...
Formatting /sd-ext...
E:format_volume: make_extf4fs failed on /dev/block/mmcblk1p2
Formatting /sdcard/.android_secure...
Data wipe complete.
Is this normal? What is happening? Any help would be appreciated?

From my understanding and following of the cwm output, it's failing to make an ext4 partition in /sd-ext, but why it's even trying to is beyond me.
Maybe in future cwm versions, it'll be fixed, but right now it's fine and works.

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
Formatting /sdcard/.android_secure
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!
Hi all.
Ive got Motorola RAZR gingerbread 2.3.6, rooted, with Safestrap installed.
Each time after I flash a ROM and reboot, I'm stuck at the black screen after the Motorola logo. Last time I've been waiting for 30 mins without any result.
Need to make a hard reboot and restore the back up in a Safetrap to get booted.
It does not matters which ROM do I flash, the result is the same. So on I've tried Eclipse, RazrX and Arctic.
Those are my steps in a Safetrap:

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?
ok ill give this a try. hopefully i can get fastboot to flash the image. i had a hard time getting clockworkmod on there.
thank you

I've been flashing recoveries all day and had no issues with it.

Did you format:
System,
Cache,
Staging
Data
then wipe cache
then data/factory reset
then advanced and wipe dalvik
i was able to format system cache and staging but when i try to format data it says:
error mounting /data!
skipping format...
done.
says something similar when i try to mount sdcard so that i can flash .zip files

Standard recovery might let you wipe it.
Just had a look on XDA and this might help you?

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 going to start by apologizing for being such a noob. Thank you so much for your help.
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.
thanks again

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.

Yours is a bit more difficult but I have managed to mount and push files in recovery to my sd card.

could there be a way to partition and do some sort of "dual-boot"
just a random idea.
I have Clockworkmod 5.0.2.0. When ever I try to wipe data/factory reset, I get this
So I thought removing my SD card would let me reset but I get the same thing.

Hi,
Go toTHIS THREAD , and try to install 4EXT .
Then use the tools in that recovery to wipe your phone.
Or you could try a super wipe script.
