Try manually mounting /cache in CWM (I think it's in mounts and storage) menu.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcrisa:
I have the same problem; this happens for all kernels which embed a CWM v5.

Also I' can't even downgrade my kernels earler than KI3 (same error). The only kernels that work are CF-root KI3, KI4 and KI8.

For the same problem I can't flash any customized rom which do not embed any of the working kernels above.:(

I tried already wiping and formatting every possible thing, but nothing helped. And manual mounting cache in CWM fails.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] droidphile:
Those who have problems with cwm 5, (like some partitions not mounting, updater apps rebooting into samsung recovery, etc) flash cwm 4 zip from your cwm recovery!

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zking:
This is the same problem I faced....you can see that there here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1311692

and till today no solution for it.

this will not work as phone is unable to mount anything see the OP. I tried every sort of thing but nothing works.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcrisa:
Ah, damn, then we're not alone... :p

I think it all started when I decided to give it a try to one latest stock roms (it was KI1 or KI4 i guess...) as I was on KE7.

Before that I installed several early MIUI roms without any problem. But now I'm stuck... hopefully there will be a fix anytime soon!

Funnily enough I bought the I9100 when I heard that it was planned a MIUI rom development (I had a Desire with MIUI for about a year), and now that's officially released I can't install it... :(
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gh.rohit:
same problem i was facing two days back....i tried all things but it was still used to stuck at yellow triangle. i was able to flash kernal but as it was stuck at yellow triangle i was not able to flash custom ROM.:eek:

then i decided to give my last chance....i tried to flash with cf-root KI3....n FINALLY it was booted. Feww !!!:D. then i flashed custom ROM :). hope it will work for you also.

I attached kernal with this post. Use this kernal if you are on Stock 2.3.5 KI3
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcrisa:
Right, here's what i did:

1) Wiped everything (/data, /cache, /dalvik)

2) Reboot in download mode and installed KI3 with 3 parts (PDA, DATA and CSC)

3) Self reboots, some yellow scrips appear, no errors, than another self-reboot

4) First boot, the stock rom works fine.

5) Reboot in download mode and applied the CF-root patch, and first boot. Again the stock rom rooted works fine.

6) Reboot in recovery mode: wipe /data, /cache / dalvik

7) install zip from sdcard -> miuiandroid_sgs2-1.10.20.zip (the latest official MIUI rom)

8) Stuck at yellow triangles, with continuous self reboot... :(

9) Reboot in download mode, reapplied CF-root KI3

10) Stuck at black screen past the yellow triangle....

11) Reboot in recovery mode: wipe /data, /cache / dalvik

12) install zip from sdcard -> miuiscotland_I9100-1.10.20.zip (another official MIUI rom)

13) Stuck at yellow triangles, with continuous self reboot... :(

14) Reboot in download mode, reapplied CF-root KI3

15) Stuck at black screen past the yellow triangle....

That's what it happens with every rom I try to install. The only rom I managed to install was the Villainrom 3.0, all other roms fail.

The rom I'm using now is wanam KI4 stock dedoxeded non wipe on top of stock KI4.

---------- Post added at 10:04 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:18 AM ----------

By the way: even restoring the nandroid backup of the original rom, which I did as soon as i rooted the phone, fails as it gets stuck at the yellow triangle.

If I enter recovery mode it gives:

E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/command

E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/log

E:Can't open /cache/recovery/log

E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/last_log

E:Can't open /cache/recovery/last_log

Could it be that either the latest stock ROM or CF-root, when installed, change permanently something?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Red_Vex:
I would know if this problem happens once you install CWM 5...is it right?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcrisa:
For sure it happens whenever I install CWM 5 or one of the older CF-Root kernels.

The only CF-Root kernels that don't give the /mount problems are KI2, KI3, KI4, KI8.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Red_Vex:
Cf root kernel (as i read from officiale thread) are stock one + cmw,busy and root.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zking:
I think to some extent this might be the problem ... ... ... bcoz I managed to flashed two custom roms namely RarityROM+v3.7+by+PFittech+-+WIPE & BezkeIce2 which I think have CWM 4 where else all other roms have CWM5 ... correct me if I am wrong.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Red_Vex:
Sorry i don't u understand very well
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zking:
I meant to say yes CWM5 can be a problem. as I was able to flash 2 custom roms which were having CWM4. But any other custom rom which was having CWM5 is not getting flashed.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Red_Vex:
As i far i know the only rom that have cmw5 are Cyanogen & co and Miui & co.

Are there also stock based roms?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] henrychukx:
CWM5 or CWM4 is not the problem. u need to use the 3 tar(PDA,CSC,MODEM) Odin flashing method. if you did it right there shouldn't be any yellow traingles at boot. and i had EXACTLY the same problem couple of weeks ago, now am on MIUI.

wish you guys goodluck.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcrisa:
I tried already with the 3 tar XXKI3. The stock rom boots nicely without any yellow triangle.

When I root it the yellow triangle appears (as expected) and the phone still boots nicely.

The problem comes when I try to install MIUI, as it bootloops at the yellow triangle.

I think I tried every possible thing, given my download count is at 126... ;)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] henrychukx:
lol 126! i thought i had the highest, but not anymore :D, try this way.how i fixed mine. first flash your bootable rom and root, then perform a hard reset ( i don't remember the code for hard reset but it was something like *#numbers*numbers*#) this will wipe all ur phone's data, including ur SD card files, so please make backup 1st.

after hard reset(not factory reset) reboot to CMW and wipe all again (factory reset, cache,dalvik, then go to mounts and storage> format system,cache, data, then COPY your flash-able zip (i would suggest CM7 first, same way i did mine) onto your sdcard and try flash(if CM7 flash it twice before rebooting) if it was successful you will get stuck on boot-up (not reboot loop) just go bact to CMW and wipe factory reset,cache and dalvik, reflash CM7 twice also then reboot, if your lucky it will work for u :)

cheers!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcrisa:
Ok, somewhow I managed to succeed! :D

I made some additional tests (also following henrychukx suggestions) and, at a certain point, I decided to remove the EXTERNAL SD card.

I think that was the key to the success (at least for me)!!

With the external SD card removed, i flashed the "speedmod-kernel-s2-k2-13" kernel then I flashed the 1.0.21 miui ROM, the I flashed again with ODIN the Siyah-v2.1rc3 kernel.

Magically MIUI booted!

I've also been able to boot into CWM 5 recovery (without any strange /mount error) and update MIUI to 1.10.28 (but had to flash again the Siyah-v2.1rc3 kernel)

Not sure how stable it is this setup, but so far it seem to work :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zking:
First I did remove my external sd card and then:

While on stock, After following above steps my phone got stuck on Boot Screen, I again rebooted in CWM Recovery did the Factory reset, wipe cache, dalvik and rebooted again phone got stuck on Boot screen...any way I thought of flashing a kernel through odin I flashed Speedmod kernel but still phone hangs on boot screen. Now I am going back to flash stock again.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] henrychukx:
I'm glad i could help :D but i'm sure it's not the ext. SDcard that caused your problem, because i did that too when i had the same problem but i didn't seem to fix anything.

Happy SG2ing ;):D

---------- Post added at 01:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:05 PM ----------

I didn't know siyah kernels are compatible with MIUI roms :confused::eek:
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcrisa:
Whatever it is, here's what I did to install MIUI:

1) Uninstalled the external SD Card, backed up all data of the internal SD on my PC

2) Hard reset by dialing the code *2767*3855#

3) Installed with Odin the 3 tar XXKI3 stock rom

4) Hard reset by dialing the code *2767*3855#

5) Rooted with CF-Root-SGS2_XX_OXA_KI3-v4.1-CWM4

6) Copied the MIUI zip on the internal sd card

7) Reboot in recovery, wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik, wipe battery stats, format system, format cache

8) Installed the MIUI rom from recovery

9) On reboot there was a yellow triangle bootloop, and couldn't access the recovery

10) Installed with Odin "speedmod-kernel-s2-k2-13"

11) Rebooted into recovery: wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik, wipe battery stats

12) On reboot it was stuck at a black screen after the yellow triangle

13) Installed with Odin "Siyah-v2.1rc3" kernel, and finally MIUI booted :)

Hope this might help, good luck! :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zking:
Actually I am not interested in either MIUI or CM7. I am interested in rom like Villain, Litening, rarity etc.

I followed this steps till step 5.

1) Uninstalled the external SD Card, backed up all data of the internal SD on my PC

2) Hard reset by dialing the code *2767*3855#

3) Installed with Odin the 3 tar XXKI3 stock rom

4) Hard reset by dialing the code *2767*3855#

5) Rooted with CF-Root-SGS2_XX_OXA_KI3-v4.1-CWM4

than I tried to flash a kernel either via ODIn or CWm but my phone gets stuck on boot screen with yellow triangle.

Even flashing a custom rom also gives the same result.

and booting in CWM gives all those E:\ errors so I cant wipe reset etc at all.

I again repeat flashing stock whether its 3 files (KI3) or 1 file (KI8) is not a problem at all.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcrisa:
Could you enter recovery after rooting with "CF-Root-SGS2_XX_OXA_KI3-v4.1-CWM4" without any E:\ error?

If it is so, you should be able to install Villainrom 3.0 in recovery, then rebooting in download mode and flash again "CF-Root-SGS2_XX_OXA_KI3-v4.1-CWM4".

It should work (at least, it worked for me when I tested) :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zking:
Yes am able to enter recovery without any E:\ error accept when I go to Wipe dalvik it says E:\ cant find SD\ext but when I wipe dalvik it says Dalvik Wiped.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcrisa:
That shouldn't be a problem. Try installing Villainrom 3.0 in recovery, then reboot in download mode and flash with Odin the "CF-Root-SGS2_XX_OXA_KI3-v4.1-CWM4".

Then reboot and cross your fingers... let me know if it works! :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zking:
Oh la la....it worked.....My villain rom booted nicely....oh thank god n...ofcourse you man...

and to be frank I did not do hard reset this time....just CWM wipe & wipe thats it..

now tell me how can I remove the yellow triangle on boot screen.....as for the stock rom i used to flash back the stock kernel to remove that...for for villain rom how to remove that triangle....

Thanks a million buddyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thnx...this method I know I thought there is some other way for custom roms...good for me as this is what I am doing almost everyday,,,,,he he he
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] henrychukx:
Did you flash the cf-root kernel ?

if yes, then you're probabaly still locked to other ROM's kernels, as villainroms comes with ninpho kernels. try to flash other kernels and see if it works...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zking:
Yes I did flash CF-Root kernel..but still not flashed any stock kernel to remove the yellow triangle. Yes I will try to flash some other kernel & ll let u know the results....
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zking:
Ha Ha Ha very funny....Android can be very funny at times...

to remove Yellow triangle I flashed stock KI3 kernel....and my phone booted....surprised I lost villainrom boot animation...never mind

I went to CWM to flash zImage of CF-Root kernel....it is not getting flashed....so I tried to boot in to CWM recovery from the program it self....surprise again it's getting booted to standard recovery...even in the 3 button combo only standard recovery...

So I flashed CF-Root kernel again.....suprised again....VILLAINROM boot animation is back.

I tried to flash the stock kernel again....but same problem as mentioned above....never mind I again flashed CF-Root kernel...

and then booted in CWM recovery flashed Speedmod S2-K2-13 kernel wipe dalvik than again reflashed the Speedmod S2-K2-13 kernel (just to make sure) and wiped dalvik again. Then rebooted system.......finger crossed......

Boot screen with yellow triangle......step completed

Stock boot animation........................................step completed.

and my phone completely booted.....voila.....

but I loved VILLAINROM boot animation....It was sleek & sexy.....how come I can make it work.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcrisa:
Mmmm... the only way I can think of is to reinstall again the VillainROM 3.0 rom, but as it's supposed to be a "wipe" ROM you'll loose settings and apps, unless you make a backup.

But maybe asking in the VillainROM forum someone more experienced than me can give you a smarter hint :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zking:
ok more update on my experiments:

I tried to flash Batista70 FOXHOUND EDITION 2.4|Jkay 12.1|25-10-2011 +++NEW Abyss Plus+++ (which is having CWM 5.0) and I got stuck in ICS boot screen.

When I rebooted in recovery its having the same E:\ cant errors. but this time I did not flashed CF-Root through odin. as I was running out of time so just flashed a non wipe JPKJ2 stock and rooted it. As I m traveling I ll do rest of the experiments once I am back.

I think CWM 5.0 is the culprit

Update: I just flashed via CWM Hyperdroid-Andromeda and its booted perfectly...and it does have CWM 5.0... so CWM 5.0 is not a problem.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] henrychukx:
Again, just i stated on my earlier post, CMW5 or CMW4 is not the reason for stuck boot.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zking:
Oki I am back from my vacation...and ON my experiments. While leaving for vacation I was on Hyperdroid rom, so I just updated today to Hyperdroid V2.9 without any data reset and it booted nicely and was working nicely.

Than I decided to give this rom http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1342628 atry which is KJ3 based.

I did wipe all and flashed the rom in recovery...again the same errors of E: Can't etc. etc.

than I downloaded CF-Root kernel from http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=19013036&postcount=7 for KJ3. I odined this kernel in download mode...and yes My phone restarted without any problem.

I think whenever you wanna change your rom first see what it's base like KJ3 KH1 etc and if your earlier rom is the same based than you can flashed it without any problem otherwise you ll face this issue and you have to flashed the corresponding CF Root kernel via odin.

So, loving the phone etc etc, picked it up off contract with the BestBuy Employee discount.

Just a few questions. First off, an aux cable.

I have the one of the sprint gel shells on my phone, but I think any case would have the problem. My aux cable I have isnt thin, what I mean is at the top surrounding it, it is too thick to fit into the aux port all the way with the case on.

I am looking for an aux cable that is thin all around if that makes sense, to anyone.

Also, another thing is. I have a kenwood headunit in my car, and all it does is charge the phone, I was wondering, how does one make music play through it also? A specific app or some internal setting on my phone?
