You don't have to worry. It is failing to wipe a partition that you don't have. It is normal.

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?
Please see thread: [RECOVERY] CWM for the SK4G. Enjoy!

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!
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.

i also tried installing TWRP and removing the boot warning about the unlocked bootloader, but despite saying it was installed ok seems the phone just ignored or discarded it because nothing happened when i installed these.
please help!
when i try to boot in any mode other than recovery it hangs on the boot splash and vibrates once.
