[Q]"I:Can't format unknown volume: /external_sd" in CTRecovery - General Questions and Answers

Hi XDA Users,
Before asking help, i would like to say that I'm newbies, i'm little bit lost here, and i don't know if i have the permission to post this question here. Sorry if i make a mistake
I have an error when i try to launch a CWM(Edify) script. :
I:Can't format unknown volume: /external_sd
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I tried to change updater-binary(No change) and I tried to use empty updater-script: this error is not linked at a command line in my script(No change)
The recovery used is Carliv Touch Recovery porting on my device(Wiko Highway)(link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2471479) he works without problems, but i noticed that i have some bad line in my /etc/fstab. I tried to repack a new .img whith good /etc/fstab version but my device was stay on boot image. I have restore my first recovery.img
My question is: CWM try to mount all partition in /etc/fstab at start of updater-script? And if yes, can i disable this function.
I you see something for my recovery problems, i take all tips!
Thanks for you attention,
Antoine
PS: I have forgot to say that I'm french with a very bad english level, but don't worry, i work on this x)

CWM Loop, fast support apprecciated

Hello guys,
I recently installed CWM on my GoClever device.
Booting into recovery from Android using ROM Manager didn't work, so I tried
Code:
su "echo -n boot-recovery | busybox dd of=/dev/block/nandf count=1 conv=sync; sync; reboot"
And I booted in CWM right after it rebooted
but when I tried to boot the device back to Android, it booted to CWM.
Also the CWM is unable to mount any of the directories.
Code:
CWM-based Recovery v6.0.1.2
E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/command
E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/log
E:Can't mount /open/recovery/log
E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/last_log
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/last_log
ADB should work I guess
Could anyone help me please? I guess it's not hard to fix this, probably some file modifying, but I don't really know what exactly to do... :/
EDIT: A recovery image that boots into Android instead of recovery would be a neat solution, but I'm not sure if it's possible

Well, i guess A13's will never get some solid support... At least I got my 10 posts... Weeee!
Guys, what's with all the views and no answers?
After some googling, I found out it's quite a frequent issue, but none of the googled threads helped in any way... Damn it...
Also, A13 devices have SOOOOO low support...
And an important thing
I got a dumped stock recovery img on the /sdcard/, just need to know if I can flash it and how to flash it using ADB, I'm quite afraid of doing anything now
Soooo...
When the device is plugged in, it identifies itself as "MID08"
Seems i installed a wrong recovery image
Now I need drivers for my TAB, as it can't appear in the
Code:
adb devices
menu... :/
If anyone can really help, this is a list of my blockdevices:
Code:
loop0 loop1 loop2 loop3 loop4 loop5 loop6 loop7 nandf ram0 ram1
And this is my fstab
Code:
/dev/block/nandh /cache ext4 rw
/dev/block/nande /data ext4 rw
/dev/block/nandi /emmc auto rw
/dev/block/nandd /system ext4 rw
/dev/block/mmcblk0p1 /sdcard vfat rw
/dev/block/mmcblk0p2 /sd-ext auto rw
And this is recovery.fstab
Code:
# mount point fstype device
/boot emmc /dev/block/nandc
/cache ext4 /dev/block/nandh
/data ext4 /dev/block/nande
/emmc auto /dev/block/nandi /dev/block/nandi1
/sdcard vfat /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 /dev/block/mmcblk0
/sd-ext auto /dev/block/mmcblk0p2
/system ext4 /dev/block/nandd
/recovery emmc /dev/block/nandg
Also when I try to cd to some dirs i get can't cd to XXX
I guess there's some script that does the mounting stuff, but I still don't know what it is... I just need to access my sdcard and get the recovery image outta there...
So I flashed an officcial firmware from this thread:

[Completed] [Q] "E:Can't mount /cache" - ?enabling adb? - i9100

Hi
I've cm-11-20150607-NIGHTLY-i9100 on my Samsung Galaxy SII i9100
It has gapps-kk-20140105-signed (as far as I remember).
I do have cwm 6.0.5.1
Two days ago, there was some update (haven't seen what exactly).
Now, while booting the phone hangs on the boot screen.
When I lunch into cwm-recovery I do see:
CWM-based Revocery v6.0.5.1
E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/command
E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/log
E:Can't open/cache/recovery/log
E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/last_log
E:Can't open/cache/recovery/last_log
The show log says:
mount: mounting /dev/block/mmcblk0p7 on /cache failed: Invalid argument
W: failed to mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p7 (File exist)
E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/log
(and more like this)
...
I do have MTP enabled, and debugging USB disabled- this is a big problem since i can not access adb...
I would like to backup data, but how can I enable adb from cwm?
I did try to wipe dalvik (I think it did work) /format cache - It does not work - it hangs.
I did try to "reboot to receovery (or reboot to bootloader): from the cwm- it hangs
I did try to mount /storage/sdcard0 - it hangs
I did try to create a backup from phone memory to scracd1 - it hangs
I can boot into fastboot.
It looks like some error on partition, or problem with internal phone memory.
Anything that try to access internal sdcard0 hangs
How can I backup the phone (or at lest photo - not all were synced yet).
What would be the next step?
Any idea howto enable USB debugging?
I've seen this tutorial
(can add a link so google "enable usb debbuging through clockworkmod with adb")
but it is for the Nexus, not for the i9100...
I do have Ubuntu, with
adb version 1.0.31
I can switch to Windows if it would help...
Ok,
For the moment, I made the wrong assumption.
I can access adb.
The solution was to install latest android SDK (cm11 is some like Android 4.4.4) to get newest adb
(developer.android com/sdk/installing/index.html?pkg=studio )
To be clear, if you're having this same issue the problem is probably an out-of-date SDK. As of 4.2.2 there is a security feature that requires you to confirm the RSA fingerprint of the connecting device. Open the SDK manager and update the tools! Then reboot. - quote from stackoverflow com/questions/14993855/android-adb-device-offline-cant-issue-command

In CWM i am with E:Can't Moun (...), but...

but, in /etc/ there has two files i think are in conflict:
the first is fstab:
Code:
/dev/block/mtd/by-name/cache /cache ext4 rw
/dev/block/mtd/by-name/userdata /data ext4 rw
/dev/block/mtd/by-name/system /system ext4 rw
/dev/block/mtd/by-name/user /sdcard vfat rw
/dev/block/mmcblk0p2 /sd-ext auto rw
/dev/block/mmcblk0p1 /external_sd vfat rw
second is recovery.fstab:
Code:
/boot mtd boot
/cache ext4 /dev/block/mtd/by-name/cache
/data ext4 /dev/block/mtd/by-name/userdata
/kernel mtd kernel
/misc mtd misc
/recovery mtd recovery
/sdcard vfat /dev/block/mtd/by-name/user lun=/sys/class/android_usb/android0/f_mass_storage/lun/file
/external_sd vfat /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 /dev/block/mmcblk0 lun=/sys/class/android_usb/android0/f_mass_storage/lun1/file
/sd-ext auto /dev/block/mmcblk0p2
/system ext4 /dev/block/mtd/by-name/system
so, if there is 2 files that would to mount the paths, one of them are blocking other.
i say this cause i think "recovery.fstab" is the correct to mount in recovery mode.
but in this recovery mode isn't! /etc/fstab is mounting!
see like this.
i am in CWM and there a log in bottom with:
Code:
CWM-based Recovery modified by androtab.info v6.0.3.1
E:Can't find misc
E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/command
E:Can't find misc
E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/log
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/log
E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/last_log
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/last_log
E:Can't find misc
and when i go to install zip from sdcard>choose zip from sdcard(internal storage, not is the removable sdcard):
E:Can't mount /sdcard/
but external sdcard (removable) it mount and open!
and when i go to mount /sdcard, or /cache, /data, /sd-ext, /system, it says: Error mounting /cache!, Error mounting /data!...
i don't know what can i do, cause, even sdcard can mount, /system cannot, and install a custom ROM cannot be done, even not backup the actual rom!
to finish, i say that i think is a conflict cause in ADB i go to mount /mnt (that is the path of sdcard, external_sd (...)) and it return:
mount: can't find /mnt in /etc/fstab
but if i am in recovery mode i would be in /etc/recovery.fstab
can someone help me?
my device is a DL 3003 (RK30x) is a brazilian product. and sorry for my bad english!

Format data and fully wipe
You just erase or deleted files on your internal memory. But no biggie, just flash firmware with Odin (on windows) heimdall (on Linux).

Ignore the cpefs error, it's erroneous and will be fixed.
As long as you can mount data you are good.
