I recently flashed my device with a CM7.2 rom which seem to have gone wrong, as it is stuck in a bootloop. I can get into clockwork recovery with volume down, but it can't access the sdcard, it gives me "Error mounting /sdcard!".
I tried partitioning the sdcard which seems to work fine (ends with Done!), but formatting gives "Error mounting sdcard", "skipping format".
Trying to use mount USB storage gives the error "E:Unable to write to ums linfile (No such file or directory).
I'm having a hard time figuring out how to recover from this mess, as the device dosen't show in adb devices when I boot it with volume up and the sdcard dosent seem to be mountable.
Any suggestions?
In cwm, go to advanced : mounts and storage : mount /sdcard

I cant mount the internal or external sd card on my samsung vibrant
Earlier i transfered music to my phone and it was working
Im running Axura 2.0.6 with the JK6 modem.
I cant ODIN since my computer wont recognize it.
When plugging in USB it simply makes a sound but has no notification.
Tried to do a system wipe on the phone and when rebooting it says denied.
Under phone storage it states Format SD CARD for internal but nothing else.
It does not say i can unmount it.
Ive tried the sdcard fix applicable via CMW but it fails to reboot into recovery mode
and when it does it says installation aborted.
I have renamed the sd fix to update.zip
attempted to flash other roms via cwm but im just stuck.
and still unable to mount.
any help?
EDIT: Cant open /cache/update.zip (bad)
then i try again and it says
E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 (or /dev/block/mmcblk0)
Device or Resource Busy

Sounds like you had a lagfix that wasn't disabled before you tried flashing. I would ODIN back to stock. ODIN doesnt recognize your phone in download mode? If not, then you re most likely SOL or need a JIG to get it working. BTW, this def didnt need its own post, it could have EASILY been added to the other "cant mount" posts
If its the normal 2.2 mounting issue. Take a gander at this.

I have CM7 Nightly #23, with CWM v4.0.
I'm trying to flash #26, but I'm getting the "E:can't mount /sdcard" error when trying to select the zip.
If I go into the Mounts and Storage menu, and try mounting /sdcard, it gives "Error mounting /sdcard!"
It mounts fine when Android is running and also when mounting the phone as USB storage in CWM, so it's obviously not a hardware error.
Any ideas?
Follow those steps.

It corrected the issue for me.

what recovery are your using? most likely it is a simple fix, in one of the settings there should be an option to "mount system" or "mount sdcard"
Please help D: Recovery's cant mount /data and internal card, CWM - "Error mounting /data!", TWRP - "e:unable to mount /data", so any CM fw go into infinite loading. Any suggestions?
My phone was slowly corrupting some files inside the external sd card, but I thought it might have been because I had named a file with a $ sign and it had some problems when I plugged the usb.
After I had taken the file out and deleted the corrupted files (Some of my game saves died too :crying, I thought it was going to be okay, but the corruption did go on after some time.
One day, when I was using the phone, suddenly, I got a white line accross the screen and the phone rebooted, then every time it turned on, it worked for 1~3 seconds then, again, white line and reboot.
Tried to fix it in various ways, turning off wi-fi, changing the brightness and things like that in the moment before it rebooted, but I couldn't make it work.
After some tries/time, it gave me an error saying it needed to be wiped and reseted, but I really need some files inside of it, so I didn't wipe it, and now it just stops at the samsung logo.
I can get it into recovery mode or that "custom rom" screen, by using the volume buttons when booting up, and I could even get it to show in adb when in recovery mode, but I can't mount the sd card with it (It always tells me I can't do it, something about privileges, I think).
I just wanted to get some files from the internal memory, after that, I think I'll be flashing it with CyanogenMod so it'll be a Android 4.4
But, for now, what can I do to recover those files?
Thanks in advance
Edit: Recovery menu says:
--init-recovery...
E: failed to mount /data (invalid argument)
can't mount /data (invalid argument)
Then it tries to apply "multi-csc" and after it "successfully applies" it, then it shows the "failed to moun /data" error again
Well the easiest way would be to flash TWRP recovery and use the file manager to copy the files that you need to your mem card... if u couldn't access the internal memory just mount it manually either from the option "mount sdcard" or use the a shell command.. I believe there is a terminal emulator there
