I properly installed CyanogenMod 10.2 at my Galaxy Tab 2 P5110. Tried to go to the Firmware Update at the settings and clicked Kit Kat. Everything was installing just fine, but suddenly it stopped. It said it had failed and I had to reboot the system and reroot or something like that. Accidentally clicking Go Back, the Tablet rebooted and kept going back to the recovery mode. I tried to Wipe Data/ Factory Reset and when it rebooted instead of the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 boot image, a distorted image appeared and took me back to the recovery mode. I installed CyanogenMod again through External SD card, because the Internal SD card showed nothing. It started to install and everything worked normally, except that I had forgotten to install GApps. I went to the Browser and installed it and the Download folder at the internal sd card in theory, but when I got back to the recovery mode, nothing showed up there. I really don't know what happened with the Internal SD card, I just know I can't access it...
Might be you need to format the memory not wipe.

you can found it in recovery > mount and storage if you're using cwm based recovery
do a format /system, format /data, format /cache, and format /data/media
carefully not to format /sdcard
then reflash rom and gapps, enjoy.

format your sdcard, internal and external from within windows or from recovery, but back it up first from within windows
Format /sdcard wipes your external sdcard.
Format /emmc for your internal sd card.
This is for Sky ICS Build F.
Found this out the hard way when I aoft bricked my phone after format /sdcard and when I went to flash a new rom my external was wiped clean.

so if i do /emmc in recovery after i do a factory reset will it still boot into my CM10 rom? Or will i need to odin stock and go through the process to get it again?

The rom (any rom) lives in /system partition ...
/data partition holds your apps
/cache holds your apps data and files (cache files)
/sd card (internal or external) is the place for your personal files
So when doing Factory reset , the recovery will wipe /data + /cache , but your rom would stay untouched like just flashed , the same is applied to the /sd card..
Like Vincom said : connect your phone to PC , from my computer , right click the storage of your phone (after you tap on your phone screen connection) and choose format sure after you backup your important files , then it will be formated or just select everything then delete ... After that boot into recovery then do factory reset ... Your current rom will stay as is ..but everything else is gone ...
Hope this helps.
how does the internal card like being formatted? FAT? FAT32?

Just FYI- In JB(CM10) the new naming convention is /storage/sdcard0 for internal and sdcard1 for external..

When in CWM recovery I am no longer able to install anything from my SD card, I was able to before with the same card.
I get an error when I try to install from the SD card that says;
E:unknown volume for path [/emmc<filename>.zip
E:Can't mount /emmc<filename>.zip
I know the card is fine, I can access and edit its contents from a PC
Can anybody help?

EMMC is not the SD card , its internal system memory. Can you list the steps you are taking exactly.
Have you done a system reset or clear data from stock ICS or stock recovery? IF so you may have encountered the EMMC bug
Well I can install from SD again, but now when I try to flash the stock ROM it succeeds but it boot-loops, could that be the EMMC bug?

So, I just got this phone and decided to root flash yadda yadda. I didn't realize how many different version of this phone there were and flashed a kernel for the international version. Shortly after TWRP said I had no os installed and when I use adb to push a rom to both /system and /sdcard it won't show up.
Any ideas?
Edit: I've been able to push it to /data and when I try to flash it It says "updating partition" then immediately fails..
Just mount usb storage in TWRP, copy a ROM from your pc to your phone sd card, and install normally from TWRP install menu.

I forgot to mention this: windows doesn't recognize the file system and wants to format it when I mount it..
In that case you've probably corrupted your sd card, and you will need to format it using Windows before you can do anything. My guess is that you did a factory reset from bootloader didn't you.

Yes I did but it said it was formatted before I did that.
I just got it to work. I pushed the rom to /data then copied it from /data to /sdcard and it installed just fine. I was a little worried!! I need to pay more attention next time x.x
Hi all, i have a huge problem. Yesterday i wiped everything in my rom with cwm, wiped data, sd, cache, dalvik and system. I saved on my pc a folder with some files i need to flash and some backups. I would like to mount the usb storage from the recovery, put the files in and flash normally through cwm. BUT, and there is a but, my phone is perfectly view by the pc (it says also Nexus s in periferical) but doesn't see the drive when i mount the usb storage? Do you know why? Is not a problem of drivers, because the phone is perfectly seen. Now i can't boot, because i don't have a SO, and i can't mount the usb storage from cwm. Is there a method to flash roms .zip from fastboot? I'd need the .img file, not the .zip ones. How do i solve?
Thank you very much
I solved by downloading the factory images from google and flashing them from bootloader

This is a really weird problem that i have come across.
I had crombi-kk installed in it. But because of some bugs, i decided to install cm10.2.
I booted up in twrp v2.7.1.1 recovery and chose to Wipe>format data. It started but never ended.
When about 20mins had passed it was still the same, i thought it had hanged so i rebooted.
Then i sideloaded cm10.2. After twrp installed the rom, it showed an error E: unable to mount /data.
I rebooted and it didnot go any further from cyanogenmod bootanimation.
I again rebooted into recovery and chose Factory Default, it failed and showed the above error and 1 more E: unable to mount internal memory.
Then I flashed cwm v6.0.4.7 and i sideloaded which resulted the same. Then i went to mounts and storage and chose mount usb.
But it didnot show up in my pc.
I searched over the net and found that this kind of problem occured when the sdcard was mounted as logical.
Ok, i get that, but now how do i fix this problem? The sdcard isn't showing up on the pc!!

It takes about 2 hours to format data so you interrupted it in the middle.
You need to format the data again and this time let it finish please.

2 hours? Really? What does it do?
It just wipes the days, right.
Now don't say it recreates the partition

No TWRP changed it a few versions back I think it fills every single piece of the emmc with 0000s. Which on mine took 90mins.
Reflash TWRP and see if it will let you do it again. Otherwise you may have to erase it from fastboot.

Okay. I haven't seen the source. But shouldn't be a problem on trwp 2.6.x, right?
And why did they change it to fill the whole block with 0's?

That was a change in the base Android libraries. It actually doesn't fill the device with zeros, it calls the "secure erase" command of the eMMC (aka the secure version of "trim"), and that is slow.
