could this be because the backup is on an external SD card? if so, is there any way to move it without being able to boot?

[HELP] Phone stucks at booting!

Okay, i had Marcel's CM10 with his kernel and i wanted to try miui v4 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1527336) ...so i did a backup, wiped all, (factory reset/dalvik wipe), then flashed miui and strarted...but it stuck at bootlogo!
I retried the whole process, the last time i did factory reset again after flashing, but still the same... Then i wanted to restore backup...so i first wiped all, flashed CM10 again, installed my app2script, and restored. But i aborted at data restore cause of mount error...of course, i retried, this time only wipe and cm10, but it still stucks...only formatting data gives error "[E] format_volume make_extf4fs failed on /dev/block/st17.
/data not wiped"... Please help!

Try this: Flash a rom in Odin and then install cm10 again and when its installed reboot recovery and try with restore. That always helped me on my old g3 when i had problems

G3 - Made a mistake
Hi there !
I'm new to this forum just for the Samsung Galaxy 3 Apollo GT-I5800 even I've got a Samsung Galaxy S3 LTE (GT-I9305) I still wanted that one to work after reading different threads on this forum...
What I've done is I've wiped the phone without making any backup before that, which is my first mistake... Before that I did not root the phone :crying: Which is my another mistake... Now the phone is getting stucked on the boot with a Samsung GT-I5800 writing on the screen...
The Memory Card is completely new so I ain't got any data on it... I am very new to the phone systems and I'd need step by step instructions if any1 could be that kind and do it for me please.
The phone is on 2.2 Android and I'd like that phone to be for gaming for my gf so I need some good performance ROM I thought something like KEvolution v1.1 or Kyrillos' ROM

Wiping the phone should not cause a bootloop, especially if you aren't rooted and have no custom ROM...
Flash another rom with ODIN.

I've already tried it. It won't work. That's the problem. If u need any info about it just let me know what is it that u want and I'll get it for ya.

[Q]"I:Can't format unknown volume: /external_sd" in CTRecovery

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)

Mount errors when using compiled TWRP with UBIFS support

I have compiled the TWRP custom recovery using @yuweng 's excellent AIO-TWRP-Compiler script on BBQLinux.
I cloned the OmniROM repositories, and chose the Android 5.1 branch. (My device, the Tinashi DigiLand DL718M, runs Android 5.1)
When I made the device tree, it directed me to this Gerrit request from @Dees_Troy , so I downloaded and applied that patch to my omni/bootable/recovery directory, and removed that check from twrp shell script.
I then compiled TWRP and had one error:
Code:
In file included from bootable/recovery/ui.cpp:36:0:
bootable/recovery/roots.h:30:1: error: 'Volume' does not name a type
Volume* volume_for_path(const char* path);
I found someone with a similar problem who said to just comment out the line, which fixed the problem and allowed it to build successfully.
I then flashed it using SP Flash Tool and it booted (amazing in itself since I didn't unlock the bootloader), but had the following errors, presumably because /system, /cache, and /data are UBIFS partitions:
Code:
I:Processing '/boot'
E:Unable to find partition size for '/boot'
I:Processing '/recovery'
E:Unable to find partition size for '/recovery'
I:Processing '/cache'
E:bad mtd index for /dev/cache
I:Processing '/data'
I:Setting up '/data' as data/media emulated storage.
I:Created '/sdcard' folder.
E:bad mtd index for /dev/usrdata
E:bad mtd index for /dev/usrdata
E:Unable to recreate /data/media folder.
I:Processing '/misc'
E:Unable to find partition size for '/misc'
I:Processing '/system'
I:Processing '/sd-ext'
I:Created '/sd-ext' folder.
I:Backup folder set to '/data/media/TWRP/BACKUPS/DL718M'
I:Settings storage is '/data/media'
Updating partition details...
E:bad mtd index for /dev/cache
E:bad mtd index for /dev/usrdata
E:bad mtd index for /dev/android
I:Unable to mount '/sd-ext'
I:Actual block device: '', current file system: 'vfat'
...done
E:bad mtd index for /dev/usrdata
E:Unable to mount storage.
Here is the output of all of the commands I used to find the partitions on my device (cat /proc/dumchar_info and more), as well as recovery.fstab (used in building) and recovery.log.
Note: Since slashes are invalid in filenames, I have replaced slashes in the commands I ran with periods.
How can I get it to mount my UBIFS partitions properly?
Any help is appreciated.
If any more information is needed, please let me know!
UPDATE: I've now gotten it to work using mtd names in recovery.fstab (kind of). I have updated my recovery.fstab in the link.
However, now all of the SELinux contexts on /system, /data, and /cache are
Code:
u:object_r:unlabeled:s0
.
@Dees_Troy will your patch work with SELinux?
UPDATE 2: I have confirmed by attempting chcon that @Dees_Troy 's patch does NOT implement SELinux support.

I know its over a year old this post but your problem was that you were setting your mount points as /dev/boot etc only emmc devices use such layout also using dumchar and mtd commands will not isaue the correct mount points for it nor the fstabs unfortunately,
To mount ubifs properly you need to set mounts out for all ubifs partitions see the example below
/system..... ubifs......system
/cache....... ubifs......cache
/data...........ubifs......userdata
/fat............. vfat.......fat
/expdb.......yaffs2....expdbd
/nvram.......yaffs2....nvram
/sec_ro.......mtd.......sec_ro
/pro_info....mtd.......pro_info
/boot..........mtd.......boot
/recovery...mtd.......recovery
/misc.........mtd.......misc
Alternatively you can also add the second block device mount also which would look something like this for example
/system....ubifs....system.../dev/ubi0_0
/cache....yaffs2....cache..../dev/block/mtdblock15
/boot.........mtd......boot....../dev/block/mtdblock8
any chance you have a link at all to your recovery?? id be keen to port it over for my MT6572 ubifs china phone if you wouldnt mind me doing so ? ive got ubifs chinaphone ive built CM 11 for and also got a TWRP 2.7 for ubifs to work after some porting but is very very buggy to say the least and dosent flash roms properly also got twrp 3.1.0 to work BUT wont mount ubifs will only mount yaffs, emmc and ext4 and im not keen on the ancient CWM stuff at all,
Id appreciate any help if you still got it
