u dont have a custom recovery installed

Have you rooted your phone? Have you flashed a recovery? Please take out time to read, read and read again before you attempt root & recovery. This will only help you.

I have an issue where when Im in e3 or clockwork recovery where when I am trying to do a data wipe and clean flash. I get an error at the end- "error restoring /data!" after It goes through and verbosely lists all the caches and files its restoring. When I actually get into the recovered rom, I have a bunch of most of the old apps listed as on the SD card 0.00B, I can't move them to phone, or erase the data as there is nothing there, I have to uninstall them each time. Sometimes I get a ton of force closes when I reboot the phone. I fix permissions in CWM at least ten minutes after a flash to let the phone cache.
I wasn't getting this problem until I tried to flash Alien 5.5 with a corrupted file in the zip which aborted the flash. Does anyone know why this has affected all of my backups? I can't get a good recovery because of the /data issue.
On another topic, Does anyone with alien 5.5 have a non-working home button as well as no market app? I wanted to post or pm romracer about the homebutton issue because I cannot find a fix for it anywhere.
You have corrupted ur internal sd card that's y this thing happens!!!!!! You need to do is follow this steps here!!!!!! IF you already tried that than go back to stock and start over!!!!!!

I've been trying to load custom ROMs on my galaxy mini (GT-S5570) unsuccessfully for three days now. Every single custom ROM I try gets stuck on boot, with only the "android" characters on screen. Two cyanogen ROMs I tried display the cyanogen logo for a split second, then back to the "android" screen.
I'm using CWM 5.0.2.6. I've tried both gingerbread stock ROMs from samsdroid.com (Europe section). Both work perfectly (flashed from odin)
I've cleared data,cache,dalvik before and after each update.zip. Also, the boot really is stuck, I've been waiting 15 to 30 minutes on each.
Everything similar I got so far on various forums was pertaining to not clearing the user data...
Something that may be related: every time after I load a custom ROM, I can no longer use CWM to restore a backup - boot restores, system restores partially until CWM finally spits "Error while restoring /system". However, I have no trouble restoring the same backup after flashing a stock ROM. Looking up the error, I've read something about ext4 partitions, but it was not very detailed, so I'm unsure if it has anything to do with that.
Any pointers seriously appreciated
help, anyone?

OKay, try this rotation:
1. Backup your system , aslong u are able to do it
2. Wipe Data, and all other Folders (using advanced/format folder X , format Folder Y in CWM!
3. Flash your Rom u ilke
4. Never Wipe Data unless youre still flashing updates.zips!! Wiping cache is necesary! But never wipe data please aslong your are flashing packages which are bounded to the rom.
Hope i could help you.
regards
sweet

Thanks for your help, Ropb.
Unfortunately, my CWM has no "advanced/format" option. Under the advanced menu, I have the following: "reboot recovery", "wipe dalvik cache", "wipe battery stats", "report error", "key test", "show log", "partition sd card", "fix permissions".
Following you description, here's what I tried:
1- Flash stock rom
2- install CWM
3- Wipe cache (using "wipe cache") ONLY
4- apply cyanogen ROM zip
It still get stucks on android...
Did I understand something wrong, or should I get a CWM version with the advanced format?
Sorry bro,
what i meant was in the section "mount and storage" or something,
there you can finde mount this mount that.
at the bottom u will find : Format this format that.
Make sure, your external SDCARD is out of the device before you format all parts.
Try it, and let me know.
Regards
Tried the manual format for data, cache and sd-ex, and combinations of those, still no luck... pretty much a dead end. I think I'll just use the stock ROM, as much as it saddens me not being able to tweak the interface

actually even i m facing the same prob.but try booting without sim it will i think..but i dnt noe how to get it working witha sim on
maybe this procedure will fix problems
P6800 running Zeta
I was browsing facebook the other night when... shaboom - everything froze. No biggie I thought, I'll just do a little reset (I was getting a few FCs here and there anyway lately) and I'll be good to go...
NOPE. It started bootlooping at the initial Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7 screen. I'm able to enter CWM recovery and even wipe the cache and flash ZIP files, but when I try to wipe data/factory reset, wipe the Dalvik cache or restore a Nandroid backupI get a System Error. It doesn't look good.
Is there a way to fix my seemingly funked /system without losing all my internal SD card data (where my Titanium backups reside) or to recover it before a full Odin flash?
Just tried again - it reboots and goes into a loop when I try to wipe data and dalvik, and when I try to restore a previous backup it gives me "Error while restoring /system!"
Any help greatly appreciated before it becomes a $600 door stop
Do you dare to wipe the system folder and follow by flashing another ROM?

Do you mean via Odin? Will I lose the data on my internal SD card by doing that? Is there any way of mounting the device in its current state as external storage on my PC to copy all data before a wipe?
ZhenMing: I'm not sure what you mean, but as I wrote above I am not able to wipe the system folder.
yes you will loose your data... i can give you another advice... but do this one carefully... the reason why your device cant wipe any /system or /data is because the corrupted partition... you need to check it... follow the guide in this thread...
USE ONLY PART 3... follow the guide start from this para to check your device...
Code:
Now we are going to use e2fsck to check our new partitions for errors, but not only, it also fixes some erros and it will even for example create lost & found in /data
So let's go, we'll begin with /system. If you're still in the (parted) shell, use ctrl+c and type "adb shell", then issue the following :

Since you can go into cwm, you can mount your storage and then connect to PC to copy all you want.

But won't it downsize the int sd size, if OP tab still under warranty, better to get it fix by samsung for free and not lost any space.
Just reading the 1st post of the ZETA rom thread.
He says he is using stock Kernel.
He says every 5 lines, that you should full wipe...
without giving any sort of warning that it will eventually brick your device.

Tried that one, but it won't mount unfortunately. The external will no problem, but when I try with the internal it just... well it does nothing. It's a bummer cause all my most recent backups are on the internal. Any other way of retrieving my data short of extracting the chip?
Giving it back to Samsung sounds like the best option, but I'm worried cause it has a custom ROM and it's rooted. Anyone has experience doing that?
Also I thought full wipes were good, but you're saying they eventually brick the device? How come? I thought having a custom recovery meant it would be virtually impossible to brick my device... and the weird thing is that it happened during normal usage, not while flashing.
Anyway, my priority is obviously to get my tab working again, but retrieving my internal data is second highest. Isn't there a flashable ZIP that would copy the contents of the internal SD into an external SD card? Surely this has happened to someone before me?
Thanks for all the answers, really appreciated!

nope it wont... the 3rd stage on that thread command for just check and fix the corrupted partition... its like when we force boot windows... it will run on a little diagnostic software to check the drive... same concept.
Oh I see, Thanks for the explanation. Learn something new today.

Gotcha! Will try that one and post result - thanks!
how did your partition check go?
i'm annoyed that some partitions can be corrupted randomly even doing some mundane stuffs
even on stock ICS fw, i encountered DATA corruption by just deleting a contact
i guess you have softbrick..
here is what i did:
-flash stock Honeycomb firmware using Odin
-forced tablet into stock recovery mode
-wipe Cache/Data/Factory Reset
- reboot
when your tab is working again you could backup files from your internal EMMC and you could flash ROMS from there

Thanks for that. I haven't tried anything yet as I'm away till Weds, but I will then and let you know. So you're saying by flashing stock HC via Odin and wiping/resetting everything through stock recovery I won't lose my internal storage data?
that's what i experienced..but i could not guarantee that it will be the same for your device
i noticed that because old folder are not deleted when i rebooted, but i haven't checked if the system folders are cleared
to have a clean reflash i also format/sdcard on recovery..but don't do this on stocl ICS recovery since you might risk increasing the damage
try to format via odin the Honeycomb fw first [don't put PIT file neither enable Repartion, just normal flash]
then force it to enter recovery mode when it bootloops after reset
you might fix your device this way if it has softbrick
just resort to using PIT/repartition as your last option
Again I would not recommend repartition when tab still under warranty. Repartition the last resort only if the tab is without warranty after failing all other alternatives.

image size is too small to recognize.
when you select partition, diskpart displays what?
first i select disk example ''select disk 2''
''disk 2 is now selected''
then i press ''list partition'' so i can see how many partitions there are there (there is only one)
then ''select partition 1''
''there is no partition selected''

I'd first trying using Diskpart, and if that doesn't work, try flashing Stock using the command prompt. Like I mean full stock and with everything erased and whatnot. There's a guide somewhere in the forum's if you search for it.
Give that a try and let me know.

i have tried many thinks till now....it doesnt seem like i can fix it really.
the only way to give command and take some feedback is from bootloader...
example(fastboot flash recovery.img)
(fastboot flash system.img) etc
when am trying to copy-paste something on sd (after mount it from cwm) its lost when i go back to mobile...
thank you for your time reading all these bro!:good:
Are you seeking to save the current data on your storage or you can afford losing it?
have you tried to format sdcard from cwm?...,..
if u can mount scdard from usb to computer ,.. u can use any partition software or even windows disk manager to format sdcard,...have u tried?
