It gives me an error, "can not mount"

Well i don't know what i have done now, but i think i really messed things up waiting for a reply. I attempted to restore back to restore point using cwm, but when i went in to restore it gave me several options. so i did the "boot" and rebooted the phone. ** This is where i think i messed up. now when i boot the phone it says i9000 like before but instead of doing the cm9 boot screen it is just a black screen and never does anything. I try to go back in to cwm and now it doesn't let me do anything. when i choose any option and hit the power button it just goes to a screen the the gear and arrow goin around it with a hat on. <<Sorry for bad descrition. Any ideas?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
.. your still fine. Your using an older version of CWM that utilizes the capacitive buttons. I think that fooled everyone in the very beginning :p Just use the "home" key for enter and "back" key for back. Power button just gives you the RM symbol (guy with the hat)

Try that!

Just tap the post of the person you want to thank. A dialogue box will popup. Select "Thanks"
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] harleydad82:
OK but when i go to restore it gives me many options, i only did the boot. so what do i do using the home key.

note: i just used the home key to reboot device and it goes to black screen again. do i need to use home key and restore every option when i click on the back i want? it is cwm v5.0.2.3
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
When you choose backup/restore the next menu should have a list of options.. choose "restore" and you should have your backups listed by date.. or if you renamed them, they should be right there no?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] harleydad82:
They are there, and if i choose the one i want, using the home key, it then gives me more options of what to restore, i have done the "boot" already and then is when i rebooted phone and now it goes to a black screen instead of the boot animation after the i9000 screen.

note: duh...i was goin into advanced restore, i went into restore and it is doin it now. i'll post back in a few, hope this works!!!!

I wish i knew exactly what happened, i will start running backups more often especially before any nighly flashes. I was reading that i rendered my internal sd useless now and would lose everything, i'm hoping this isnt true, as the phone is still restoring.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
Ahh.. even I was getting confused there for a sec :p
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] harleydad82:
well the restore did work. but it was a stock backup. I was on cm9 4/17 The music i just recently dl is there so that is good. But i don't know if i'm rooted still or if i can just flash cm9. when i hold the power button it only gives me the stock options, nothing like cm9. I did however make a backup point before i restored just now. By any chance maybe i could just use that restore point even tho it was having issues maybe they would go away? worth trying right? that is if i did unroot somehow.

phone info says, 2.3.6 kk6 but.... my kernl is the zedomaxstockkernal i used to root my phone so i think i'm rooted just need to get into cwm. i will try the backup i just recently did, if i have issues still then i will go back to stock backup piont and flash lastest cm9 over it. agree?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
Chances are if you restore your backup that had issues your still gonna have those issues present as the nandroid takes an EXACT copy of what you were running and set up, everything. But to check root, just open up a root only app such as root explorer, TiBu, setCPU.. any of em really.. ROMManager.. any of those will tell you when you open them if you do not have root access. But even still.. you have CWM which is all you need to flash CM9.. once you do you'll have root anyway- but chances are unless you restored a backup without root then you still have root permissions.

*edit* I would if I were you, make sure everything is working and you got your ahiz how you like it.. then just update from there.. AND/or once you do update go back into CWM and make a new backup with the latest nightly and at least you'll have a CM9 backup. Then you can even rename the backups so you don't get confused.. after 2 or 3 I tend to forget which backup goes to which date.. :p
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] harleydad82:
when restoring my latest backup,"one that i made when having problem" it says MD5 mismatch...so apparently i can't.... so i went a head a flashed the lastest cm9 4/25 nightly. I just wish i could restore data or other things as i did lose alot of stuff, apps and things.

Thanks for all the help!!! it is rebooting and i see the cm9 boot screen again. I just hope i didn't lose any numbers or other things being i had to basically go back to when i last backuped the phone. what would i have lost and not lost? as i see my music is still there.

I don't remember it taking this long to reboot, it's still on cm9 screen. what happens if it just keeps goin?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
.. so now that you are up and running a fresh nightly. Get whatever apps you lost and whatever else then make a new backup so you have something a little fresher to flash next time you need to restore a backup! And I know you see this a lot- "BACKUP!!" .. but its true. For that simple reason of restoring an older backup can be just as much a pain as starting over because **** is just old and you've gotten more apps since then or changed your setup. Backups do take up a lot of space so I try to keep it down to 3 or 4 backups available.. but thats just me :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] harleydad82:
I don't remember it taking this long to reboot, it's still on cm9 screen. what happens if it just keeps goin?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
Most of the data is pretty safe.. numbers are tied to your Google account so those are almost impossible to lose. Apps I think ate the main thing you would lose, that and your setup maybe ringtones and such.. any app files that are new you might lose too but I think most of the important stuff stays..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] harleydad82:
whew that's good.... but it's been over 5 min and it's still on boot screen!?

Note: i did a search and read to flash a second time and hopefully it should be fixed.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
Did it boot up after you flashed 4/25 or it still hasn't booted yet?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] harleydad82:
I flashed 4/25 once and stuck, so i flashed again... and stuck on cm9 boot screen again. ????

update read this and executing hoping it will work

"sounds like the ROM may not have flashed well. I would go back to recovery and reflash the ROM -install from zip file, twice in a row without doing anything else. That is flash and after it says “done” and is waiting (still in recovery) then flash again. When that is finished and you are in Recovery still –make sure you flash gaaps for ICS as well –to get all the basic google apps. So reinstall/reflash the ROM (x2) and then reinstall/reflash gaaps one time. and maybe that will make it work! good luck!"
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
.. give it a minute to boot.. like a long minute :D

No but seriously it should be just fine.. let it do its thing. If after 7 or 10 minutes it still hasn't booted. Start over.. reflash latest doing a FULL WIPE. Only thing you'll have to restore is your apps and setup. Google should dl and install most of your apps automatically.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] butikofer08:
Wipe cache and dalvik cache then flash if no go, data wipe Is in line
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
Yes.. that should do the trick :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] harleydad82:
What does a data wipe or full wipe intail? I do not want to lose music, pics, numbers, i understand apps and number should be back up by google "i hope" but what will the full/data wipe do/lose? and do i do this in cwm? cuz it does not seem to be working "still booting" will it delete my nightlies and gapps files to flash?

Should i pull battery or do the 3 button method to stop the boot and go into cwm?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
May just be a boot loop. Battery pull and try to just turn it on see if it will boot. A full wipe is a doing a factory reset/data wipe in recovery. I even go into the advanced menu and wipe dalvik cache. It restores your phone to out of the box state for whatever ROM your running. You will lose GApps but that's easy enough to recover. You'll lose your launcher and homepage settings.. youl lose your ringtones you may have downloaded.. (maybe not). And yeah, all done in recovery. In the main menu you have wipe data/factory reset and also wipe data cache. You shouldn't lose any pictures

** if it doesn't boot, battery pull button combo into CWM and try the above suggested- full wipe and reflash "twice" then reboot system from recovery! Hope this works :)

It did reboot finally, I did lose apps and i'll need to install gapps and swype again. I'm very pissed right now. I can't believe this happened. Thanks for the walk thru and help. Now I will have to find threw gapps file, and swype link. Can't seem to get into wifi or google.

I was previously running the 4/11 nighly with the nfc patch but saw that was merged in 4/19. I flashed the 4/23 nightly yesterday (cache & data) but noticed there was no way to enable NFC under wireless & network -> more. Why wouldn't this show up if it was merged? I did end up flashing the nfc patch back to get it working, but I'm just curious as to why that happened.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] beerbaronstatic:
Don't recall the specifics but I think long story short if you were using the NFC Patch you had to full wipe to use the merged NFC stuff

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] aj9507:
If you used the nfc hack prior to the integration you have to do a full system wipe to get everything functioning correctly again as per earlier posts in this thread. I bit the bullet yesterday and wiped and reflashed and everything is good so far.

NFC

Quick Question I just clean installed (factory reset, cache davlik and wiped internal card) 4/25 nightly coming from 4/17 with the nfc hack. I have nfc enabled and android beam on but I don't have the apps to go along with it like it did with the hack. is it a bad flash or do I have to get these apps separately now?? if so where and what do I look for to get them?? Thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mgd76:
NFC apps don't come with cm9. But, you know where to get apps, right?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] aj9507:
The play store? I guess the more appropriate question would be what are they called? Sorry for the noobish question. Just trying to get everything running smooth as I can. Thanks in advance.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Shadyguy:
Here are some apps I downloaded from the Play store:

NFC Task Launcher

NFC Retag

NFC TagInfo

There were a few more, but you get the idea... I am having some issues (settings was force closing when I hit "more") with NFC; so I did a full wipe and resinstalled the latest nightly (twice). That seemed to do the trick and I was able to write to a tag and the magic was working. But now everything is buggy again w force closes and all.

I never installed the NFC patch, but I did install Siyah kernel a few versions ago. But have since completed multiple full wipes, so I don't believe that is the issue.

I'm hoping someone may be able to help... If not I can live without it, but I think its pretty cool. And of course its a nightly build so there are going to be some issues, but other than my NFC problem I am loving CM9.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] aj9507:
I will download those apps and test if I get any bugs... thanks Again

Google Drive in French

I live in the US and yesterday I download the Google Drive app on my devices. Galaxy S2 for AT&T and Galaxy Tab 8.9 WIFI.

Both our running CM9.

Both have the entire Google Drive app completely in French!

Could this have anything to do with CM9?

Even when I log into my gmail account from my computer everything is in English until I click on Documents, then the interface switches to French.

Merde!

Anybody else having somewhat higher wakelocks on multipdp and secril_fd-interface (see image)?

It's not dramatic but it does eat my battery somehow at a 5% per hour rate so I guess they are what one would consider bad wakelocks.

EDIT: I'm on 4/23 with the standard CM9 kernel.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] thracemerin:
An app is using your data connection a lot, multipdp holds a 5s wake lock every time something transfers data to ensure that the packet transfer is properly completed, anything that does a pull request or other packet transfer will cause this wake lock, if you have an app transferring a lot of data or say 1 packet every 5s you can end up in a permanent wake lock. Take a look at what apps you have running and what they're doing with data and you'll probably find the cause, whether you want to eliminate it or not is another question.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] R2D2_SW:
I'll look into that. However that seems strange because I restricted background data on most my apps, except a few. Plus I don't see that I had massive data use since this morning (2MB total). Other than data usage, is there anything else I should be on the lookout for?

Thanks!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] thracemerin:
It doesn't have to be a lot of data, 1 packet would be minimal transfer, but like i said it holds a 5s wake lock every time, so let's say you have something that sends a packet once every 4 seconds holding a 5s wake lock, you have a permanent wake lock on your hands, but 1 packet isn't much actual data so it wouldn't show as a massive data usage. That being said, I'm not aware that multipdp is held by anything other than data transfers, you might ask in Entropy's battery drain thread or maybe he'll show up here, he'd have a better idea.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] R2D2_SW:
Gotcha! Thought it had to be massive data transfer. So here's my next question (hope it's not a dumb one): How do I check how many packets an app sends? Is there an app for that?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] thracemerin:
Yes, but for the life of me I can't remember the name of it, I think if you look in the Battery Drain thread you'll find it, I was going to suggest looking for it earlier.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] R2D2_SW:

MMS

I have noticed since updating to 425 that I'm getting MMS as a slideshow? Anyway to fix this?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Tophaholic:
I am having a battery drain issue on my phone as well. I have the 0425 nightly installed and ever since (or maybe since 0423/0422) I m having a bad drain. No new apps installed after 0421 install.

Earlier my battery easily lasted thorough the day and was about 30% left by bedtime. Not it gets to under 10% by 6:00 pm.

I installed BBS and am seeing "multipdp" @10%, "secril_fd-interface" @9.6% and "wlan_rx_wake" @2.7%.

I have UCLD3 modem installed.

Update: my signal keeps switching between 3G and H for some reason. NEver had this issue with the 0421 and prior builds
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] R2D2_SW:
I think you are in the same situation as me. You apparently have an app that is sending packet every 5s effectively keeping the phone awake all the time. I personally have not found the rogue application yet but will post it when/if I find it.

As for the 3G/H signal switching, that should be pretty normal though. The phone displays 3G when idle. When there are some data transfer, it switches to H. It's been like this since the first nightly.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] thracemerin:
wlan_rx_wake is the equivalent to multipdp when connected to a wifi network, so this leads me to believe that whatever is doing it for you is also waking up your phone while on wifi to transfer data, that being said there is also the possibility with wlan_rx_wake that your wifi network is just noisy, some routers are notorious for spamming their connected devices with garbage it's possible you're experiencing this, but I'd look at what you allow to transfer data before you consider an outside source.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Tophaholic:
This is when not connected to Wifi. I have WiFi on but am on my AT&T data network.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] thracemerin:
You were never connected to wifi since you last rebooted/charged?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Tophaholic:
Correct. Am at work and had charged the phone for a few minutes in the morning. Since taking it off charge it has not been connected to Wifi

Also, had rebooted the phone after taking it off charge
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] thracemerin:
Do you have the Network Notification option checked? Like do you get notifications of open wifi networks? That might cause it too since it scans for open wifi occasionally.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] iXNyNe:
I'm having an issue on 425 (not sure how far back it goes) when I go to settings and tap more I get a force close. Fresh flash (clearing data) fixes the issue, restoring titanium breaks it, even if I only restore missing apps (no system data) I'm not 100% sure if its one specific app causing the issue but I'm looking.

Btw with the hacked nfc the tags app was launch able and I could view tags and such, but the included official tags app doesn't launch, what gives?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Tophaholic:
Yes I have the option checked to notify me of open networks...but I do not get any notifications at my work place. There are no open networks around. Besides...I always had this option checked--never disabled. So might not be the culprit since I was getting good battery life earlier
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] thracemerin:
I'm out of ideas honestly, the only times I've had the wlan_wake wake lock is when my router went crazy or when an app was going nuts sending packets via wifi, if neither of those seems to be the case, perhaps you can ask in the battery drain thread and someone will be able to answer you better.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Tophaholic:
Appreciate your help!! I will keep my search on-going and will update on this thread if I find whats causing the battery drain.

Thanks For the Guide.

I was really dissapointed with ICS.

I was still running EL29- Rooted and was running everyday on 14hrs with Wi-Fi always on. so after seeing that most bugs were fixed on FD24 i updated and yesterday i was running on 5hrs tops with Wi-Fi on.

So i did some suggested tweaks.

Wi-Fi off.( only ON when i need it)

GPS- I unchecked the last to option on the location.

Adjust haptic

uncheck some Sync from Google.

by the way what's? "Internet Sync"

and now.... im at 66% after 7hrs of being unplugged.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dudebowski:
Internet sync meaning anything that may transfer data in the background like google talk, weather apps, Skype, etc.
