[Galaxy S II General] nopeaac:
storage not prepared yet

Hi Guys,

some days ago I tried to flash my GT-i9100. I wanted to flash from Cyanogenmod 9 to 10 nightly.

I've done this several times before, with CWM and with ODIN and it worked always very well.

But this last time, as you can assume, some thing did not work. There was no error visible but the system did not boot correctly anymore.

The SGS II screen passed but the system stayed in the CM9 animated screen. After 60 minutes or so I forced a reboot and let it again boot for 45 minutes.

> no change

Then I read this Post but it didn't help either. I did some research in the net, tried dozens of how-to's, did several flashs with CWM and ODIN but nothing fixed it.

Trying to go back to ginger bread the first boot after flashing gave this kind of error message:

E: failed to mount /data

your storage not prepared yet, please use UI menu for format and reboot actions.

So I did a lot of research again but nothing helped.

The phone can still boot to DOWNLOAD MODE an RECOVERY MODE, I can access the /data partition and create/copy data on it.

But then the CWM fails to format that partition. When there has not been any data on it it appears to format correctly but still any following flash will fail with the primary boot and stays afterwards at the SGS II screen.

The partitions seem to be correct, as far as i can tell:
