OK, so here is the backround...This is my very first Android device (S4 MK2 4.3) ever. I been on the Iphone since standing in line for the original release, so I have absolutely experience with Android at all.
I got my phone and Rooted it on day one. I'm on the stock ROM. Day two I decided to so a Wifi Hotspot Mod by replacing the .odex and .jar files. On reboot, I discovered I had soft bricked my phone when it got stuck on the yellow Sprint screen. I gave my self a quick crash course, and fixed the issue by flashing stock MJA with Odin 3.7 and then OTA update to MK2, then re-rooted.
My question is to do with the Wifi hotspot mod. I have found a huge amount of information out there, but there seems to be conflicting information as to if I can actually do this with the 4.3. Could someone please confirm if there is a hotspot mod that is compatible with the MK2 4.3 and maybe guide me to some info?
Thanks in advance for your help.

This link above, post 337.
Outstanding, thanks for the quick replies!
My next question is about stock recoveries. I was trying implement the Clockwork recovery mod. When I started ROM Manager, the only installation file listed was for Sprint S4 jfltespr. My confusion was with the jfltespr. I was expecting to see one for MK2 or MJA. Is the jfltespr like a catch all for any Sprint phone?
Jfltespr is the sprint gs4.

newest problem
Sorry to post another problem so soon, but I'm having problems backing up using clockworkmod 6.0.4.4
So I did the clockworkmod install through ROM Manager. When I select to Backup Current Rom it boots me into recovery mode. Once there it tries to mount the sd card. It counts down from 20 to 1 and finally times out. At the end of that I get this: Error processing rom manager script.
I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong here. The micro sd is formatted in FAT32
Any ideas?
Install goomanager.
Then use THAT to install custom recovery (CWM or TWRP).
Once installed open it.
Then Hit Menu button and select “Install OpenRecoveryScript” (jfltespr is for Sprint). Once installed it will tell you it's done.
You can then use GooManager to 'reboot to recovery'.
Rom Manager uses a 'temp recovery' that often doesn't work.

I'm not sure what I'm missing. I tried this twice with the same outcome.
I did just notice that it added 1.9 gigs of data to my card. The files are
boot.emmc.win
boot.emmc.win.md5
system.ext4.win000
system.ext4.win001
system.ext4.win000.md5
system.ext4.win001.md5
Does this mean that it was actually successful event though I had the unable to mount and failed messages???
In twrp >advanced fix permisions.
Also check the size of storage you have left on your ExternalSD.
You may also want to flash Reverpats repacked TWRP v. 2.6.3.1 in recovery - now that you have recovery.
Grab it here
Put on your ExternalSD, boot to recovery, install zip from externalsd.
Then reboot 'RECOVERY'.
Repair permissions, reboot phone completely. Then back to recovery and try backup again.

you're missing like half of your stuff. you can also fix permissions in rom manager if you have that instead of twrp. i'm far from expert status, but maybe try changing your default backup format (in the backup and restore part of recovery mode) to tar?
Could also try PC Odin the recovery tar(s) either twrp, CWM or Philz (CWM based). They're here just search.

Sorry, but I'm completely new to this. Would I just get the .tar for the recovery and put it to PDA just like a stock ROM?
yes
Just can't get it to work. Here is question, since I already have custom recovery I just can't save a backup...is there another way to backup the ROM? Maybe to my computer, then I could just transfer it to my externalSD?
So this is pretty much where I am stuck
Ok, so I got the phone rooted, custom recovery installed, and the one mod that I really needed flashed. I am unable to backup my phone with either Clockwork or TWRP. Both tell me that data can't be mounted.
Is there another way that I could save a nandroid backup to my computer, then move it to my external sd card to be flashed through the custom recovery if needed?
Any help would be appreciated.

Hi guys, I hope you can help me.
I have just rooted + flashed my motorola defy plus for the first time (on any device for that matter)
I installed 2nd init, version 0.6.... or something.
Put a rom, kernel and google apps on my sd-card
Then I turned usb-debugging off and rebooted my phone.
Now I can get into bootmenu, and this is what I do:
1) go to recovery
2) select custom recovery
3) then it says: Clockworkmod Recovery v2.5.1.8
E: Can't open /tmp/recovery.log
4) I then select wipe data/factory reset
5) then it says this: Formatting DATA
Formatting CACHE
FORMATTING SDEXT
No app2sd partition found. Skipping format of /sd-ext
Formatting SDCARD:/.android_secure
Data wipe complete
E: Can't open /tmp/recovery.log
6) After that i select install zip from sdcard
7) then I select choose zip from sdcard
8) then I select the zip file containing the rom
9) And it says: Finding update package
Opening update package
Installing update
E: Can't make /tmp/update_binary
Installation aborted
Now I can't go any further and can't use my phone at all
I hope u guys can help me, and that I haven't F*ed up my phone
I have a quite similar problem.
On a defy+,rooted 2ndinit installed, backup-ed first, download the new quarx05/03 ICS, put the zip on sd, wipe data, reboot and start to install ics, but the message was

Thanks to the previously backup I can use may phone as usual.
What I have done wrong with de ICS installation?

Does you disabled the usb debugging before flashing?
Yes I do, but nothing change,
Thanks
if I'm not mistaken the last release of 2nd init is not compatible with defy. Try to check this on the development forum. I hope I have been of help.
I'd tried with both 1.0.7 latest and 0.6.1.
With latest, the phone is blocked.

I had used this. Try with it
P.S. sorry for my bad english.

I think you need to go to stable recovery after you wipe your data from custom recovery
What do you mean by "stable recovery"? You talk about version 0.6. of 2nd init or something else?
Can you show a step-by step procedure?
Thank you in advance.
However, which is the procedure to un-root a defy+ and to have it with the original, fresh system?
I had flash a new SBF, root with Unlockroot v2.3, anything else doesn't work, 2ndinit v2.0 stable, wipe data/cache/dalvik (same errors), try to install cm9-ics, the same error "Can't make /tmp/update_binary"

Hi, I have exactly the same problem.. Trying to find a solution but is quite difficult. First I thought it has something to do with the partitioning, as stated in THIS topic. But, in THIS topic, people say that partitioning the SD card is not necessary at all..
@Cretu22: Yes stable recovery is CWM 0.6
Don't install stable recovery! I too faced this issue when I flashed using stable recovery. In snd init install Latest recovery and then try flashing your ROM. That should work..
I did choose the stable version indeed 0.6.7.
Now i did uninstall it and installed the latest 1.0.7, but when I reboot my phone it won't get into the boot menu but just boots into android. Tried it several times, but only with 0.6.7 I seem to be able to get in the menu

Okay!! I hope you were pressing the volume down button when the blue LED came?? Try doing this again all over.. I mean reinstall 2nd init and then latest recovery.. I remember doing this once(instal latest recovery after I installed stable recovery)..

Yes, its working Pressing the volume down button was not necessary with 0.6.7, that was what went wrong. Now the zips installed like a charm
i know the answer and is very simple
the problem is that you cannot create that specific folder.... because it already exist, cmp (connected music player) creates it, just delete it from SD and done!
Hi guys!
I did a backup of stock rom using cwm. then restored a backup of cm7. on restoring, it gave me this error:
ERROR MOUNTING /SYSTEM!
RESTORE FAILED.
so i rebooted my phone. now it get soft bricked. i can open recovery. in stock recovery, i can see all the recovery options but at the bottom its written
APPLING MUTI-CSC
RFS- FAILED TO MOUNT /SYSTEM (INVALID ARGUMENT)
yes.. spellings are written wrong on recovery.
if i goto cwm and restore nandroid backup of stock recovery, its giving error that
ERROR MOUNTING /SYSTEM
RESTORE FAILED
i tried formatting system via cwm, but it gave me error that
ERROR MOUNTING /SYSTEM
SKIPPING FORMAT..
DONE.
i tried flashing other kernels via cwm but it didnt help. also i cannot use odin (it takes upto 1-2 hrs trying for odin to detect my phone)
i am going to flash cm7.. i dont know if it will help or not..
pleaseeeeeeeeeeee help..
UPDATE: I think dat it will help if anyone could give a backup of /system dir in form of flashable zip (with commands like mkdir etc to remake system dir),, then it would be gr8..
If you a restoring a nandriod backup of cm7 you need to flash percys kernel first (I presume you were using that kernel when you were using cm7 as that is required) then reboot to recovery wipe system data cache then you can restore your nandriod backup
Change kernel to stock using hell fusion and format system and mount
Gửi từ Galaxy Y bằng cách sử dụng tia X truyền từ mặt trời!
If you have a nandroid backup of percy's cm7 then try flash stock rom via odin. Then go to stock recovery and flash percy's CyanogenMod7#2 kernel. Reboot phone and go to recovery again... You will must see CWM recovery and then try restore your nandroid backup.
Sorry for bad English
1. Flash percy's kernel.
2. then reboot recovery
3. format system. format data. format cache. mount all of them (system may not mount)
4. flash cm7 rom
5. reboot system.. (still bricked)
6. take out battery and re insert
boot into cwm, u will see many errors
7. flash cm rom again (3 times) (see steps3&4 for info)
8. reboot (still bricked)
9. boot into cwm. now all errors gone. format all and mount all of them (system will mount)
9. flash hyperion rom
10. fix permissions
11. reboot system now

Please check where you are posting before you post - this forum is for the galaxy y 5360
As a general rule when restoring backups
1- restore the backup using the same kernel to which the backup was made
2- restore the backup using the same recovery version to which the recovery was made
When flashing stock rom via odin make sure you have the Samsung USB driver installed
Never flash bootloader or pit unless you know what you are doing - they are not needed for typical stock rom flashing
Goto your own phone forum for support on flashing stock rom for your device

Now nothing formats or mounts, any ideas why?
Recently my Galaxy S4 was having boot problems. It wasn't able to get past the "Samsung: Custom" logo. I was using TWRP 2.6 and the CM 10.2 8-19 nightly. I tried to do wipe all data and cache then re-flash the rom, no difference I tried to flash CWM Touch, no difference. At this point I figured something just went wrong when I originally rooted and flashed TWRP. I decided that it would be best to start from scratch and flash to stock in Odin.
I download a file from stockroms.net (can't post the full link as I'm a new member, but its a pretty easy website to navigate)
When the file is unzipped it has a .tar md5 file in it. I factory reset, wipe cache, and go into download mode. I boot up Odin 1.85 and load the .tar file into the PDA line. I make sure that the phone is connected fine, and I hit start. Everything goes fine, it says it passes and on the phone it appears everything went fine. After it reboots though, It wont make it past the "Samsung: Custom" logo again. It wont even hang on the logo, it will just shut off after a few seconds of showing it. I'm thinking that it's trying to boot, but cant. So I boot into the stock recovery, and it gives me this text at the bottom:
# Manual Mode #
-- Applying Multi-CSC...
successfully applied multi-CSC
E: failed to mount /data (invalid argument)
can't mount '/data' (invalid argument)
E: failed to mount /data (invalid argument)
So it looks to me that the phone is just unable to access the /data folder to boot into, and it gets stuck. How can I fix this?
EDIT: Also want to say that "repartition" was not checked in odin.
EDIT2: It seems that I fixed the problem, thanks for the help guys!

Yes I did
You'll want to flash a different recovery until you find one that can fix your /data issue.
I have great luck with TWRP 2.5.0.2, though some others have said it causes problems when formatting /data on TW ROM's.
I use AOSP and have not had a problem since I last used TWRP 2.6 and subsequently went back to 2.5.0.2.
2.6 and some other recoveries just kinda suck.
It's amazing that a phone as popular as the Galaxy S4 has gotten such slow development process from CWM and TWRP. S3 recoveries were all rock solid within a month or so of release. We're not what, FIVE+ months into release and TWRP still hasn't gotten it 100% right. And I don't remember what the deal was with stock CWM (not Phillz which I have no experience with).

I'll try to remember that in the future. I actually just retried what I did with the stockroms.net file and the one that's in the sticky post here and it worked. I'm now back into TW and I'll be flashing a ROM in a bit. So thanks for the help guys, I guess I just needed to get my stuff from the right sources.
How did you fix it
Hello,
May I ask how did you fix the problem??
Thanks !
Fix #2
In my case rooting with CF-AUTO-ROOT fixed the data folder !
I recently rooted my Droid Razr M XT907 and have had nothing but problems. Before rooting, I was on 4.4.2. I used the Towelroot app to root my phone, Root Checker to verify root, and Motopocalypse to unlock my bootloader. I tried to flash a custom recovery and I could not boot into recovery. I also tried to flash a new logo to get rid of the bootloader unlocked warning screen. Apparently I flashed a corrupted file because it caused my phone not to turn on right and I had to go straight to the boot menu and AP fastboot to flash stock 4.4.2 for my phone. I then proceeded to root my phone again, and start over(except I didn't have to unlock my bootloader again). After another few hours, I finally got CWM Recovery v6.0.4.8 installed on my phone. I tried to wipe data/factory reset and it did this:
- - Wiping data. . .
Formatting /data. . .
Error mounting /data!
Skipping format. . .
Formatting /cache. . .
Formatting /sd-ext. . .

Formatting /sdcard/.android_secure!
Skipping format. . .
Data wipe complete.
I am pretty sure that it did not format. I tried goint to mounts and storage menu and mounting /data there and it said:
Error mounting /data!
Thinking it was not a big deal, I proceeded to try and install zip from the external sd card. I went to Install Zip > Choose zip from /storage/sdcard1 and selected the zip I had on there called "cm- 11 -20140218-NIGHTLY-xt907.zip" and this is what it gave me:

At this point, all i want to do is be able to flash Cyanogenmod on my phone. Is there any way to fix the mounting /data problem? Is there just an easier way to install Cyanogenmod at this point? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I'm not techy so don't know what exactly is going on, but I advise dealing with the mount problems before you proceed to flashing CM. If flashing stock again via RSD won't fix this, I assume your /data partition is faulty.

I used the Towelroot app to root my phone, Root Checker to verify root, and Motopocalypse to unlock my bootloader. I tried to flash a custom recovery and I could not boot into recovery. I also tried to flash a new logo to get rid of the bootloader unlocked warning screen. Apparently I flashed a corrupted file because it caused my phone not to turn on right and I had to go straight to the boot menu and AP fastboot to flash stock 4.4.2 for my phone
. I then proceeded to root my phone again, and start over(except I didn't have to unlock my bootloader again). After another few hours, I finally got CWM Recovery v6.0.4.8 installed on my phone. I tried to wipe data/factory reset and it did this:
- - Wiping data. . .
Formatting /data. . .
Error mounting /data!
Skipping format. . .
Formatting /cache. . .
Formatting /sd-ext. . .
E: unkown volume for path [/sd-ext]
Formatting /sdcard/.android_secure!
Skipping format. . .
Data wipe complete.
I am pretty sure that it did not format. I tried goint to mounts and storage menu and mounting /data there and it said:
Error mounting /data!
Thinking it was not a big deal, I proceeded to try and install zip from the external sd card. I went to Install Zip > Choose zip from /storage/sdcard1 and selected the zip I had on there called "cm- 11 -20140218-NIGHTLY-xt907.zip" and this is what it gave me:
- - Installing: /storage/sdcard1/cm- 11-20140218-NIGHTLY-xt907.zip
Finding update package. . .
Opening update package. . .
Installing update. . .
This package is for "xt925, xt926, xt907, vanquish_u, vanquish, scorpion_mini, mb886, qinara, asanti, asanti_c, xt897, xt897c" devices; this is a " ".
E: Error in /storage/sdcard1/cm- 11 -20140218-NIGHTLY-xt907.xip
(Status 7)
Installation aborted
At this point, all i want to do is be able to flash Cyanogenmod on my phone. Is there any way to fix the mounting /data problem? Is there just an easier way to install Cyanogenmod at this point? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

First, you need to update your recovery. > http://goo.gl/7pDg47
Second, your trying to flash an outdated ROM that wont work on the updated KK bootloader. Go to the CM thread and download the correct version for your device. > http://goo.gl/Jx8EOu
Custom boot logos > http://goo.gl/fgOCNb

Should I stick with CWM or switch to TWRP? Or is it just personal preference? Also, should I reflash stock and try again or just start reflashing the recovery and new ROM? The logo is lowest on my priority list btw.
Edit: So wait, is the Razr M XT907 a part of the Moto_MSM8960 devices? I could just install that like I would the other one?

Yup, it's personal preference. I prefer TWRP but just use whatever your comfortable with.
I see no need to go stock, just flash the new recovery then the ROM. And yes, all the moto_msm8960 devices have been unified, this includes the xt907. Just make sure you use the KK bootloader compatible version.

OK. I downloaded a new custom recovery (I switched to TWRP since is was all touch based and I somehow broke the volume buttons on my last android). I then downloaded the newest CM and flashed it and the GAPPS. Everything works great. I even flashed a custom logo (the batman one). Thank you.
OK, someone please help, got everything else working, except data. I can't get mobile data working. I just want to know if there is anything I can do.

Ummm.... try RSDing back to stock and see if your data comes back.

Flashed back to stock. Still no data. Any other suggestions?
Edit: Nevermind, started working on stock after I flashed a new radio and reflashed stock. Going to try to install cm when I get home and hope it works
I reflashed stock, and data worked. I flashed CM11, and it didn't. I reflashed stock, and it worked again. I searched the problem online, again. I somehow found a site that I missed when I searched it the first few times. The site provided a fix that involved flashing cm11, gapps, and another zip. I tried it and it worked. For anyone who is having the same or similar problem, the link is below. Thank you ATTACK for all of the help and Deante Flood for making the zip that I flashed that made the data work again.

I attempted to install jellybean using safestrap today.
version 4.4.2 (i think - didn't write it down and now cant look it up!)
safestrap 3.75
rom was hltevzw_JellyBeans_B1.zip
when installing i got several unable to mount messages, then went on to act as if it was installing ok. It reported succesful, but there were two last lines that read: E: Unable to mount '/system'
E: Unable to mount '/systemorig'
i made a backup but when I go to back it up get the message E: Unable to mount '/system'
I can boot into recovery ok, but when try to boot into the system i get nothing, just a black screen. Need to remove the battery before I can reboot into recovery.
can I fix this with safestap? will i need to go odin. can i fix this at all?
Thanks
