[Q] HELP!! i wiped my cache and sd card partition...

So, to make the long story short...
basically, I have no cache partion.
I was rooting my nexus s and flashing a rom everything was fine until I retardedly pressed wipe cache partition in clockwork recovery so now i can still boot up normally but i can't do anything as you all no, the nexus s doesn't have an external card slot, so my phone says that I haven't got an sd card inserted.
Is there any way to bring back the cache partition and how could i make it recognise it as the sd card?

The problem above seems to have fixed itself but now I have another problem. I have flashed MIUI rom and I don't know where the superuser app has gone since I rooted it. So now I can't flash a newer version of CWM and I'm stuck with this rom. I have downloaded the CWM 5.x.x.x.x from the other thread but I am not able to flash it even with update.zip. I seem to be unable to flash anything at the moment because in CWM it just aborts everything because the 'cache' partition is not there. Also when I go boot up normally into MIUI, I can't turn wifi on, everytime I change it to on, it just won't let me and it says error below the switch. Is there anyway to fix this at all?

I think you need to go back into clockwork mod recovery, go to mounts menu, make sure sdcard is mounted. If you can't mount it, you'll have to format it. If you can mount it, then do it, then go to mount usb, and hook up to a computer and back up everything you have in your sdcard folder just to be safe. You can now flash your ROM again.
If you have nothing in your sdcard folder when you connect to the computer, download an undelete program that works with flash drives, and see if it can restore your files.

thx for the suggestion, but I have tried that already and in clockworkmod it says that I can't mount or format the partition as because they don't exist so I don't have any idea what to do.
Also I am able to boot my phone into the rom I have flashed but when I try to turn on the wifi, it gives me and error and turns off, is there a way to solve this at all?

can you use SD partition in CWM to create it again?
Just throwin it out there, not sure if it would work or not?

I have CWM 3.0.0.0.0 so I am not sure about the other versions and this one only allows me to partition up to 4gb so not really useful on the nexus s.
thx anyway

do you mean flash recovery through fastboot with cmd? I tried that but in cwm or in MIUI it doesn't flash, it just says waiting for device, so I am guessing the usb connection is not working properly either. I can transfer files though if that is any help...

Then u need to install the proper drivers for your device

G2x got stuck in CWM, and cant mount.

Could you please help me on this?
I have LG G2X. Today, I successfully flashed it to EB 4.0.3 using CWM via NVFlash. After that, I couldn't use internal SD, then I changed a number in a file in etc folder( based on instruction online). I messed up after that. It said that my External SD card is corrupted. I tried to format it.
After that, it kept booting to Recovery mode with 5 line error : E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/command ...
I cant wipe. I can flash the zip files but nothing's changed.
Please help me on this.
Thank you so much,
PSC.

please help
Could you please give me a hint ?

[Q] Samsung P6200 Stuck on boot

Hi guys,
i've a samsung p6200 and i was running on ics 4.0.4 austria, then i've tried to move to P6200/P6210/T869 CyanogenMod 10 using cwm recovery.
so, since then i couldn't install any other rom without bootlooping.
I tried putting back ICS (previous version) using odin like i did before, it completes without errors but i get stuck on galaxy logo.
I tried several ways of flashing through cwm and heimdall, all go through but end up with the same results :S
Can i get some help? I'm kinda lost here and don't know what to try next.
Thanks in advance.

Your EMMC is gone, tipical hard brick ! look at releated thread ....
It's possible you have executed a "Factory reset" from ICS recovery before ?

Hi,
After a weekend lost searching for a fix to my problem I've decided to take the Tab to repair at the dealer. my tab has an insurance and i will activate it.
for a small resume, i've scanned for partition errors, having received I/O error on mmcblk9 / 10 / 11.
i tried re-partition without success
at last i 've flashed my tab with pit file modified for devices who have bad sector issues and i nearly succeeded, because get an ICS boot but gave me a message that need to do a data wipe because of some encryption. when i made the wipe with the CWM recovery i get mount /data and /sdcard error...
so once that i have insurance i'll use it .
the bad news is that it can take up to ninety days, i'll prai that does not happen and take much less time.
tks

Almost bricked my phone

I wanted to update from Android 2.3.5 to 4. I rooted my phone properly, and that went fine with Superuser elite. Because of upgrading, I installed CWM 5.0.2.7 via Odin. In the background CWM shows errors:
Code:
Cannot mount /cache!
And errors like that. I formatted microSD card, inserted it back, formatted it. The errors are still here. Because of the left cache folder, I couldn't install Android 4. I followed all guides on Internet, the problem is still here. I thought newer version of CWM will solve it, and I downloaded version 6 and flashed it through Odin(WHY?:crying. Now I cannot go to download mode or CWM, I am stuck at SAMSUNG logo when I boot the phone. Any help will be very appreciated. :highfive: The last thing I would do is to go to shop and request a new one, because my warranty expired in February. It's cost is 210 euro. This is the second time I almost bricked my device.

I'm trying this.

EDIT: ADB cannot see my device! I also tried Heimdall, but with no luck. This means I am screwed? Hope not!!

cwm doesn't support RFS . so you should format cache and data partition before installing custom ROMs.
goto recovery and do this:
wipe data/reset
advanced-> wipe dalvik cache
install zip from sdcard -> choose ROM file
wipe data/reset
advanced-> wipe dalvik cache
reboot

try usb jig! google it .
when you connect usb jig to your phone an alternative download mode start and you can flash a stock rom via odin!
i hope this works for you.

OK. I though to do it this way:
1. Buy USB jig.
2. Go to download mode.
3. Flash TWRP with Odin.
4. Install Android 2.3.6.
5. Flash CWM via Odin.
6. Fix cache problem somehow.
7. Install Android 4! Yay!
For the step 6, how can I fix the cache error?

NOOOO! you should install TWRP with custom recovery, NOT Odin! don't do same mistake again.
this is the proccess:
1- buy usb jig and connect it to your phone.
2- flash Stock Firmware(it must be 2.3.x) with odin! (you can download stock firmwares from samfirmware.com)
3- flash this with odin:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1339640
it's most stable recovery that we have!
4-wipe data/reset
advanced-> wipe dalvik cache
5-install zip from sdcard -> choose ROM file
6-wipe data/reset
advanced-> wipe dalvik cache
7-reboot
and now you have android 4! yeah
Stock Roms have RFS partition type and our custom recovery doesn't support RFS so that mount problem appears. but you can format partitions again and convert partition to Ext4. just do step 4 .

CWM can convert to ext4? I thought that only TWRP can do that.

i heard that samsung changed bootloader so you can't reset number of flashes any more. you said your warranty expired in February! so why do you want to do that??

Thanks. I will buy one as soon as possible. For the bootloader, I am just curios. Thank you for great answers!

I solved it this way. I went to service and they somehow installed Android 2.3.6. Now I partitioned my 8 GB SD card via CWM and currently I am trying PAC-man ROM(S) from this forum. I will post what will happen.

Still no luck.

So you had a problem and thought wiping everything would fix it or you don't know why wiping everything would cause a problem?

So when doing the advanced wipe you wiped everything? Surely it was obvious that wiping 'system' and 'internal storage' would result in this. Use adb to push a ROM zip to your phone so you can flash it.
