Problem: format_volume: make_extf4fs failed on /dev/block/mmcblk1p2

Since yesterday I have the strange problem. Searched the forum but can't find any solution thats right for me.
I testet a sense 3.5 rom (Insertcoin) and then wanted to restore an backup. It went wrong. So I wanted to wipe everything and flash my old rom new.
No I get the error messege when I want to wipe data/factory reset?
What could I do to solve this problem?
I also tried superwipe from the revolution rom, but this doesn't solve my problem :-(
I just want to wipe everything and then flash a new fresh rom.
What I tried so far:
Installed the original Vodafone RUU. Then installed clockworkmod (latest version) then installed root.
Error still occurs.

I got the same problem!

This just happened to me after flashing stock RUU again and installing CWM and CM7.
Should i worry or is it irrelevant?
Also Now in the bootloader it says
LOCKED but s-off on hboot 1.18 should i run Revolutionary again? I tried but it would just close a second after. I did manage to flash CM7

[Q] Please help! Can't mount SD in Recovery can't flash ROM

Not sure what i've done...
I wiped my System partition, and data partitions and was going to flash the latest AOKP (i had some issues with rohan's kernel so i needed to start fresh) but i can't mount my SD in TWRP and I'm pretty concerned that my built in storage is screwed. Any help ??

go here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1671237 and read before you do anything else. Then.. find your device specific RUU and run it. You'll have to relock your bootloader and reflash TWRP.
Which AOKP were you looking to flash?
Which hboot do you have?
and do you have the international or US version?

I was hoping to avoid doing an RUU, don't RUUs wipe USB Storage?
I have Hboot 1.09
CID 11111111
I had flashed AOKP Milestone 1 JB earlier.
I flashed a few 4.2 JB apps and upon reboot my phone would stick at the boot animation.
So I wiped my data partition and system to reflash Milestone 1 but now i can't flash anything.

Can you get into TWRP? If so, you can adb push.

I've been trying to flash using fastboot: fastboot update blahblah.zip
fails saying there is android-info.txt

Yes, RUU wipes everything and gets rid of any corruption. Wait, are you wiping cache and delvik, and system...?

I did yes. Everything is wiped currently so im sort of in a soft brick. i can boot in and out of recovery but i cannot flash anything. my SD storage wont mount in TWRP

I figured out what i did. i accidentally hit factory reset from Bootloader. and then stopped the reset. had to flash stock recovery and flash twrp again. lost all of my stuff. pretty upset about it. my fault though i guess.

Close this thread please.

Does windows ask you if you want to format when you mount usb in twrp?
If so format fat32, transfer files over and go.
I don't know why everyone are telling people to RUU when they dont have to

because formatting in windows doesn't always fix it.

newbie mistake
So after stumbling to this thread I realized what happened with my attempt at flashing a rom. I selected Viper 2.6.0 for my newly rooted At&t one x on firmware 2.20. It was stuck on bootloop. I had backed up using TWRP 2.3.1, but the restore was stuck on a bootloop as well.
I realize now that this was because I was flashing an international rom. Is this recoverable or is this the last mistake I can make on this phone?
Any advice or links to the proper thread would be very much appreciated.

I'm having the "E: Can't mount /sdcard/ problem in CWM recovery v5.8.3.1. I followed the guide to install but I find it misleading. I came from Leedroid so I had to "factory reset" but this has caused the problem. Any advice to a noob?

Go on hboot 2.15 and follow step for installing roms on 2.16 hboots i'm sure you'll solve the issue! Try connecting the phone to your pc and formatting the sdcard if this does not work try the first thing i said.

last night i try hboot 2.15 from this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=39216236&postcount=274&nocache=1&z=674317537341266
but i think they are for Ville/C2. After i try hboot 2.15 internal storgage go 10GB and again cant mount sd-ext (i uploud ROM in internal memory and try to install it but get only Error) and i go again at hboot 2.16.
If u can give me hboot2.15 for Ville (S4) because cant find another.
EDIT1:after flash new firmware with hboot2.15 (from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2322755) again get 10GB internal storage and cant mount SD-EXT.
I'm totaly retire.....think i try everything for this days.... is some one have any idea.. please share.
EDIT2: After formating this 10GB internal storage i install Maximus HD10 4.2.2 android and i got only 2GB space.... dont know how this happened...but again have fully working phone with the diference that now is with hboot2.15 and only 2GB or memory...
EDIT3: now i have problems with SIM - after few calls my conversations stops and phone show message with NO SIM but have signal.. after few try to recall i have call again and after 1-2 min call stops and have again this message for NO SIM
The Question is: what i need to reflash to eliminate this problem, radio may be?

With HDMaximus you should only use TWRP 2.6.1 which is mentioned in the OP.
If u would bck to stock from hboot 2.16 u must flash any ICS RUU in fastboot for ur CID.
Then u can follow the installation for HDMaximus again, but its mandatory that ur S-Off

TF 300T Partitions

Hey there!
I'm hoping that someone can help me out. My nephew who's a wanna-be geek was going to update my ROM (which didn't to be done really, but he wanted to show me what he was able to do). He went and downloaded the latest CM 11, rebooted and went into TWRP 2.7.0.1, did a factory reset, an advanced wipe, and did the Format Data. When he did that, it got stuck in a loop. Nothing happened. He tried to install the ROM he downloaded, and NOTHING! Long story short, by him doing the Format Data, he wiped out my partitions. TWRP, no matter what I try to do tells me it's unable to mount 'data' or 'media' etc. etc. Which is leading me to believe I have no partitions left. I've tried installing the latest update from Asus, and no dice. I've tried restoring backups that I have on my micro SD, and that's not working.
Can someone please help me and tell me how to fix this? Can I get my partitions back? I'm really hoping that I don't have to send this tablet off to Asus in Dallas, TX to have it repaired.
I'm using a loaner tablet from a rental store, hoping I can get my TF 300 fixed.
Any help is deeply and sincerely appreciated.

I was about to suggest you look in the correct forum, but I see you posted there as well. Anyway, your partitions are probably okay, they have just been wiped out, that doesn't mean you lost them. Have you tried reflashing the recovery? Were you able to flash anything with said recovery before that? Wiping the partitions in the recovery shouldn't have any effect on the flashing functionality, no matter which partitions were selected (except for sdcard, since that's where the ZIPs are stored), so there might be a problem with the recovery itself. Are you sure you have the correct one for your device?

Hey there Duchman ...
Thanks for your reply. I have tried reflashing the recovery like you suggested. And after that tried to reinstall CM11.Afterwards reflashing the recovery it says “Unable to mount data." I don't know if I need to flash a more recent version of TWRP, if that would even help.
Before all of this happened I could flash almost any ROM of my choice as long as it was KitKat supported. All of my backups and restores are kept on my micro SD so they aren't accidentally deleted. As far as I know it's the correct version of TWRP. It's worked for me so far, ever since I updated to KitKat.

You could try flashing a newer recovery first, I think 2.7.1.0 is available for your device. Also try doing a hard reset by cold booting - here's a how-to: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oTU38Ewh8qo (wipe the cache afterwards)
If that doesn't help, reverting to stock is probably your best option. Try this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1757077 (be sure to grab the correct firmware and back up your files)
Have you tried installing any other custom ROM? Does it give you the same error when you try to restore your backup?

Here's what I've come across so far. I did the reset, and that did nothing.
Tried to flash the stock version, after a few seconds, TWRP popped up with FAILED.
I've tried flashing Omni ROM. It will flash, load up, and gets stuck at the boot screen or boot animation. This happens with just about every ROM I try to flash.
Been looking for TWRP 2.7.1.0. I'm not seeing it listed on TWRPs site. Where can I get a copy? Thanks!

[Q] One SV wiped os, filesystem screwed up, recovery help

Hello, i think i ran into a major problem with my one sv(k2_ul android 4.2.2).
Well it all started when i was in the recovery(twrp 2.7.0.1), i got distracted by someone at school and tapped around on the screen.
Apparantly i wiped it.
Then at home i tried to restore my backup i made after i rooted it, but it ´didnt, work because:
a.) twrp was unable to mount the sdcard
b.) twrp was unable to mount int_sd
after some research i found out that while wiping, the filesystem might got screwed up. I tried several things to fix it like mounting the phone as an usb devices and reformatting it to fat32 --> didnt work, because it wouldnt even recognise the phone.
Also tried wiping it with adb shell, didnt work either.
Tried flashing different recoverys, but twrp 2.7.0.1 seems to be the only one working for me(all other recoverys i tried didnt even start)
Well thats my problem, as mentioned above i have a backup of data, boot and system partitions and also have a stock rom.
Hope someone can help me?
