[Q] ummu i no what it is, just 1 small question

idk why im confused. can someone please verify. want to flash erikmm rom
ummu - unmount system, mount cache, mount emmc, unmount sdcard?
is this what we want to see and leave everything else the same?
if we did have to flash stock rom. do we mess with these again?

Yep to your first question. And if restoring a backup you don't need to worry about them. Otherwise I'm not sure? Sorry.

Hey, I can answer your question
In erikmm's thread, he said:

Installation Instructions:
1. Must have efs backup on desktop * just in case *
2. Nand Backup
3. Format System
4. Set Mounts to UMMU. *unmount cache, mount data, mount sdcard, unmount system*
5. Wipe Data/Factory Reset
6. Flash Rom
7. Reboot
8. Let the phone sit for 10 minutes then enjoy.

First, you want to flash this ROM. You should odin back to stock, and odin recovery ( for a full wipe )
Make sure Battery is full charged before odin these things
Second. Go to recovery. Volume up + Down + Power.
1.Backup ( of course )
2. After that, format system, try to format 3 times.
3. Go to Mounts & USB Storage
You'll see a lot of things. Make sure you check in this
unmount cache
mount data
mount emmc
unmount system
is correct.
If you see one of these option is different than erikmm said, you'll try to correct them. Ex: You see in CWM "unmount data", you can correct by press Power button to changed it to " mountd data "
And the same as another options
4. Make sure you correct right things in CWM. After that, do an wipe data/fatory resets ( 3 times, I think ) and flash erikmm's ROM in your SDcard
5. Reboot, wait for 10 minutes, and enjoy

Maybe the confusion is this... inside the "Mounts and Storage Menu" lists as follows...
mount /efs
unmount /data
unmount /cache
unmount /emmc
mount /sdcard
mount sd-ext
format /data
format /system
format /cache
format /emmc
format /sdcard
format /sd-ext
mount USB storage
+++++Go Back+++++
thus the UMMU stated is not in that order and what about the others?
Be safe and have fun.

You no longer need to mess with the mounts when installing erikmm's ROMs.

ACTUAL steps for flashing a new ROM, CWM

I'm on CWM 5.8.1.3, and about to flash Team PTSD's AOKP build 39 and then flash their new Chimera ROM over it (looks awesome guys).
I'm worried about messing up my phone (yes, I've obviously been fine thus far) but I wanted a bit more clarification on the actual steps one needs to take in order to flash a ROM. I know there are instructions that say things like
Wipe datax3
Wipe systemx3
wipe dalvik/cachex3
But the actual corresponding items in CWM are things like: Wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition, mount /system /data /cache,
format /data /system /cache.
So I've been assuming that wipe datax3 = factory resetx3 and wipe cachex3 = format cachex3 and wipe systemx3 = format systemx3. I don't know if I needed to mount any of them either. With the presence of the brick bug I thought it might not hurt to have someone expressly state what options to choose when flashing a new ROM (in the language used in CWM).
edit: ****, I'm sorry I thought I was posting in Skyrocket Q/A. Apologies mods

All u gotta do is wipe data and cache and format the system

See, that's what I thought. The language is different though, and I wasn't sure if anything needed to be mounted before formatted.

So to reiterate. The steps, IN THE LANGUAGE ON CWM, are:
Wipe Data/Factory Reset x 3 (unsure of this)
Format Systemx3
Format Datax3
Format Cachex3
Wipe Dalvik Cachex3
Install ROM - Flash GAPPS
Reboot
Fix Permissions - Reboot

Yes that's it and its not a freaking language quit acting like its foreign to you its in English

[Q] Bootloop TF101

Hi Everyone,
For some reason, TWRP is not able to format /Data.
It keeps saying "failed to mount /data (Device or resource busy)".
This doesn't prevent me from updating the ROM to 4.4.2-21.
However, once updated it keeps on booting over-and-over.
Is there a way to - sort-of - a forced format of the internal flash.
Or at least the /data partition as it seems to be corrept.
Thanks - Will

Hi,
With twrp use the wipe menu for installing kk 4.4.2
Wipe cache-dalvik cache-data-system-internal storage (if you need a complete clean install), after install menu, flash the rom and the gapps, return to wipe menu, wipe cache and dalvik cache again.reboot.you`ll run on the new rom
(Ps : don't used mount sd and format menu).

Thanks for the (quick) response.
I'm coming from 4.4.2-19. However, on previous occasions I was able to upgrade without going through a clean install.
So I tried the same this time with 4.4.2-21. However, as it stands, this release tends to end up in an ever on-going boot sequence.
Even a clean install or going back to the previous version (4.4.2-19) doesn't work.
Compared to previous installs, the only difference I can see is an error stating that /data can not be wiped.
Any thoughts on this behavior?
Thanks - Will

Hi, which release of TWRP do you use ? in 2.6.3.0 and lower release, on wipe menu you have an advanced wipe menu, go on it select format and type data, this will format data partition

Tried formatting the data partition. It comes back with "failed" - no explanation.
Any other suggestion?

[Completed] Error while formatting /system!

Recently rooted, Samsung galaxy Y S5360
flashed hyperion 8 GM final, all cool till then
then I decided to re-flash my custom rom whose backup I previously created using CWM Recovery 5.0.2.8 broadcom, to see if the backup was working or not.These were the steps I followed:
boot in recovery mode
apply update from sd card
Loaded CWM Recovery 5.0.2.8 broadcom
selected mount and storage
Mount /system, /cache, /data
Went back and selected Advanced.
wipe dalvik cach and wipe battery stats
Went back and wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache partition.
Then Backup and restore, Restore, Choose image and done.
Then restarted and stuck on loading screen.
Then tried re-flashing Hyperion ROM
but this time in Mount and Storage, when selecting mount /system option, the result is Error mounting /system
still I went on and flashed the Hyperion ROM by clearing dalvik cache, battery cache, factory reset, and cache partition and then installing zip from sd card
Still hung on start screen
Tried Backup and restore-->Advanced restore-->Restore System but the following are the results
Checking MD5 sums...
Restoring system...
E:format_volume: format_rfs_device failed on /dev/block/stl9
Error while formatting /system!
What is the probelem and what to do next?

If you look at post #55 HERE the user has the same problem but has fixed it "with Odin". I have no experience with Odin so can't help you there if you're not sure how to go about fixing that, in which case you should ask your question in your devivce's Q&A thread HERE and I would suggest quoting the first post I just sent you do that the member helping you has some idea how to guide you.
Good luck

Hey mate ....
Sounds like you got yourself into a pickle .......
Give this a try .... Boot into recovery and ........
Code:
adb shell
killall -19 recovery
make_ext4fs /dev/block/mmcblk0p8
This should format /data, You will need to use the hardware button to force reboot......
reboot back into recovery and see if /data can be mounted now ......
Thx Josh

Thanks for the quick reply do you think this will fix cache mount and dalvik mount problems as the system can wipe date but not dalvik and cache.

Fixed

After much formats it appears to be that twrp was corrupt as after using a fresh recovery blob every thing seems to be in place and cache and dalviki can be mounted.
The only quirk is that no matter how I try to instal Zombie after the message to restart and enjoy it just hangs on the droid animation for more than an hour, so for the time being I went back to crombi-kk until someone knocks some ideas into me.
Thanks
