[Q] I'm getting E:can't mount /emmc/ when trying to flash. How do I fix this? - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777

Basically, I went to flash AOKP and a a fluxi kernel update today since I hadn't updated in a week and when I went to choose the file from the internal SD card, I'm getting the message: "E:Can't find /emmc/"
I have no clue how this would happen at all nor how to fix and I don't have an external SD card. Anyone know anything about this or how to fix it?

Sorry, I can't help
But I am in the same boat....

Try reflashing the orginal firmware and bootloader. It worked for me on my mytouch 4g.

have you tried selecting install from sdcard instead of specifying the internal?
depends on what kernel you are on as to what the sdcard mapping is.....

Thanks for all the support guys. Looks like I should have stayed up a little later.
I'm downloading the stock stuff now and I'll see how that goes.
@pirateghost- I can get the ROM on and flash through the sdcard, but the external card won't mount through CWM. It's also having different issues once I am running the ROM (Gallery not showing images, but showing music... weird stuff). I'm not totally effed, but I would like to have my access back.
That's if I understand your suggestion.
Thanks again guys.

I'm back to stock, but I cannot get odin to run when I have repartition checked...
I either get the red square that says "fail" or it hangs on 'SetupConnection'
I'm trying the one-click method creepyncrawly posted here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1313659
update: Nope- still can't mount the \emmc\ partition.
Thanks again guys.

Well, I found one in creepyncrawly's signature but I'm hesitant to use it...
(If I did use it though, would I throw it in the .tar file and change the .ini file for odin?)
---------- Post added at 03:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:47 PM ----------
I'm not sure all hope is lost.
I think that I just have a limited understanding of the situation...
So I'm back to the stock ROM and the gallery app picks up the photos on my sd card. Not only that, but esfile explorer says that there is a /sdcard/external_sd/ path and allows me access to it. Plays music and all that stuff. Pretty cool, huh?
So at that point (last time and the time before that) I was tempted to root, which I did using zedomax/odin. All went fine, but that's when I lost access to the external card. Again.
Weird.

How To Temp Root Rezound!

This will Achieve TEMP. Root.
I made this because I found it hard to find instructions.
I DID NOT MAKE THIS ROOT!
Download this Zergrush Root (mirror'd on my server) and extract somewhere where you can find:
http://www.guitarvideos.org/zerg.zip
1. Connect your phone to your computer via USB. Turn USB debugging on.
2. Download/install HTC drivers if they aren't already installed:
http://goo.gl/Rzauz
3. select HTC Sync When you plug your phone in. Charge Only may work for others, but HTC Sync is the only one that worked for me. Let windows install the drivers if needed.
4. Navigate inside the folder you extracted and right click on ZergRushTempRoot (.bat), and click Run as administrator. Then follow directions.
So if it's temporary root then what's the point of step 6?
Good point sir. Edited, and slapped firmly
Have you tried removing any bloat from /system?
you can temp root it and remove the bloatware, but it force re-dl's as soon as you reboot.

I bet that can be blocked. There must be an app or service running that needs to be killed.

I tried it with the htc sync method and it doesnt work. Couldnt use any root apps anyway so I guess temp root is useless.
It worked for me, but only until it rebooted. Installed MyBackup Root and was able to restore. Once I rebooted, it was gone. Are there there any scripts to uninstall the bloat apps??

While you are rooted, could you check the sizes of /data and /system with a df command in mobile terminal?
Ok I followed the steps and it SEEMS to work, puts SU on the phone, but Titanium does not recognize it as having root....
EDIT: disregard... not sure what I did but it's working now...

were you able to restore your apps/settings and have it all remain after reboot?
well, titanium restore is definitely working. got a bunch of stuff restored no problem. I haven't tried rebooting after restoring but I know SU dissappeared the couple times I rebooted before restoring.
I'm going to talk to a few guys today over in the 3VO forums. I'm sure we can get a script for the bloat. Maybe even for th kernel. No promises but can't hurt

[Q] The files on /sdcard/ and /external_sd/ are reversed. Help !

So I just flashed an update of Resurrection Remix rom from 1.9.1 to 2.4, at first it was working fine, then, I noticed that the usual internal memory card files were in /emmc, which was typical for AOKP roms, so I went and looked for the solution, and then, theres this post about a workaround, right here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1536568 and so, it said to install directory bind and all that stuff.
Well because I'm stupid, I rushed and ticked the 'transfer files from target to data' which was not the thing to do. So all my internal files from /emmc went into external_sd.
So to sum it up, the files originally from my /external_sd/ went into /sdcard and the files from /sdcard went into /external_sd/.
I actually restored from the backup and thank goodness it was back to normal, BUT! I really liked that update but whenever I reflash that update back, for some reason the problem returns.
If anyone can help me, I'll be deeply in gratitude
Try playing with settings>storage>(menu button on the left of the home button)>storage configuration.

You could try but i doubt that. Just to make sure make a nandroid backup first. Do a factory reset and flash the rom you wanted and see if it fixes it. Anyway, you could just restore your backup if something goes wrong like you did before.

[Q] phone bricked in twrp mode with no rom? help!!!

hi ,
i try to flash a new rom from the phone turned out that was not the correct zip file i downloaded. now i wiped cache and system and when i try to system boot it says no os so i cannot boot again. basically i'm stuck in twrp. can somebody please help. how should i flash new rom ?
Did you not make a backup?
Sent from my LG-E970 using xda app-developers app
Not sure if this is what you need,a member here much smarter than I told me this about my E970 when it was unplugged before the backup was made.
In the end these phones are basically unbrickable, so you can always get into download mode (Vol up + Vol down +usb cable +power) and use LGNPST to restore back to stock. LGNPST info can be found on irc
I do not know what irc is but there ya go,google away and hope it works .
I don't completely understand what I'm doing when I'm doing things to my phone. All I know is that some pretty great people with a much better understanding of the inner workings of phones tell me to do this or that. On that note, why are people so quick to say their phone is bricked when they still have a phone that will boot into something? Anyway...
What if you try removing the sd card, use another phone or an adapter for a pc, to download a rom to it. Put it back in your phone boot into recovery and flash it.
Or use that LGPNST, or whatever you call it, method...

If you are in TWRP you could use the file manager under advanced to try and move the .zip to internal memory. Then see if you can flash.
But I always flash from external and never have issues.
You may have a corrupt .zip, maybe try downloading it again and then try again.
I had an issue where my SD card wasn't Fat32 so TWRP wouldn't put anything on the SD or boot anything off the SD. I can't remember if I could browse the folders with TWRP's file manager or not though. That's not much help I know, but might be worth looking into. You can try formatting your SD as Fat32, loading the stock ROM on it, then see if TWRP will flash it.

You need to flash a tw loki patched kernel directly afyer you flash omega rom. Ktoonez has one in the verizon original development section that works great. Download it and flash it immediately after you flash the rom and your golden

[Q] going from 4.2.2 back to 4.1.2

Hello everyone hope you are all good.
Please could someone help me out? Yes im a noob I like to tinker with my phones but im a little stuck. I recently went and updated my phone to 4.2.2 but didnt like the way it set the file system up. eg emulating sd cards for multi user's and also the fact it changed the internal storage from sdcard to sdcard0.
Ok heres the problem I didnt make any sort of backup before the update (yes I know im stupid) . All I want to do is get the phones file system back to the way it was on 4.1.2 eg no emulated sd and the internal storage to be sdcard.
I've since gone back to stock 4.1.2 via Odin after using megawipe via the cwm recovery.
But this didnt fix it :crying: .
If anyone can help me out with this it would be greatly appreciated.
Sorry if ileft out anything you need to know but new to this never had to ask for help
use search, there's an exact same thread from a couple of days ago
you could use Root explorer to get your files back but seems you screwed up the phone :/

I've since gone back to stock 4.1.2 via Odin after using megawipe via the cwm recovery.
But this didnt fix it :crying: .

what didn't it fix?
After restoring to 4.1.2 it didnt fix the file system setup my internal storage is still called sdcard0, and instead of the normal path its storage/sdcsrd0 ??
how does that matter?

Read the basic faqs and guides first .
jje
Matters to me cos when I download and install an app I like to know where its going and the ability to move them to my external sdcard if need be.
Its down to personal taste at the end of the day... I didnt like 4.2.2 cos of the whole multi user mess. I thought that by joining here someone might be able to point me in the right direction . What controls the way the files and folders are sorted out.?
you are not able to move your files to external SD? you never mentioned it
Ive since gone back to 4.1.2 stock, still not able to move apps to the external sd cos after flashing 4.2.2 it messed up the file system. Even aftet flashing back its still the same

Did you actually return to stock or did you flash / restore rooted stock?

Was moving apps to external sd via GL to SD app. Was all working fine until flashing 4.2.2 which decided it would change where it put files and apps.
I used CWM recovery to use megawipe then odin to put 4.1.2 stock back on .
If anyone has a guide to megawipe then reflash without odin please let me know.
Atm im on 4.1.2 unrooted. :banghead:

in the same boat, I noticed my sdcard sppears wiped but isnt wiped. I hope people saying search etc. are not deliberatly witholding the answer because that isnt nice.
if the same question was asked 2 days ago in the same way why does this thread appear on google but the other doesnt.
I did this whilst connected to adb (with it booted in recovery)
Code:
adb shell
cd /data/media/0
mv * ../
cd ..
rm -rf 0
Also tho I had to remove duplicate folders from the /data/media first or the mv will fail. I am surprised no function has been added to recovery apps yet for this. Or maybe they think noone will ever downgrade from 4.2 (I think 4.2 is a bad version of android).

The people saying search generally are aware of the answer. In regards to /data/media/0, I wrote a thread on it and its in general in "sticky roll-up thread" which everyone is expected to read.
However it has since been determined that the OP's problem is completely different.
OP reports storage/sdcard0 which has in itself nothing to do with 4.2. All aosp roms use storage/sdcard0 for internal and storage/sdcard1 for external. Unless the OP Missed a / and means storage/sdcard/0 which is something all together different. Its a tricky one. Its hard to resolve without seeing it

well the forum is fragmented and as a result stickes are easy to miss.
eg. I did check the FAQ on Q&A section which didnt have the info, I will check the post you mentioned as am curious of course.

I agree it is fragmented. I don't see the benefit of separate general and q&a
I think we should have:
Android Development
Android Original Development
Q&A / Guides
Accessories.
But oh well.
As a very last resort could u not hook up to kies software and initialise your phone with mine it resets it back to factory as u 1st took it out of the box surely that would reset it bud

A little Oftopic:
Suggest that to the moderators or someone in power. Either they'll laugh at you (which won't happen IMO) or they think about that, because it would make the searching through xda more easy.
