[Q] E:format_volume: rfs format failed on /dev/block/mmcblk0p2

mozambik · Jun 26, 2011

Hello,

after update to stock I9000XXJVP from samfirmare with MD5 check (Odin 1.7, 3 files rom, pit 512, with Re-Partition, auto reboot and bootloader update) all was fine until I reboot the phone.
I got boot loops.
I again flash the phone with the same rom and same settings as above. After first reset I have:

Successfuly installed package.
Successfuly copied media files.

E:format_volume: rfs format failed on /dev/block/mmcblk0p2
Data wipe failed.

Successfuly applied multi-SCS.

Then I choose wipe data/factory reset from Android system recovery (3e) and got the same error:

E:format_volume: rfs format failed on /dev/block/mmcblk0p2

then I choose wipe cache partition and hit reboot system now.

And again boot loop...

Please help, I'm searching for sollution from two days.. I tried to flash others roms but with same result...

Try flashing back to froyo or even ezy base froyo (preffered), then flash ginger rom with bootloaders, flash speedmod kernel (latest) convert everything to ext4 and do a factory wipe in cwm recovery, then custom rom. Works for me everytime.
Goodluck

You can always reflash with .pit and repartition, to fix such partition issues.

I flashed with Odin with 512pit, re-parttion and bootloader update: 2.1 Eclair JM1, 2.2.1 Froyo JPU, 2.3.3 Ficeto_Deodexed_JVH_I9000_ODIN, and stock 2.3.4 JPU.. none of this work, every time boot-loop
I tried speedmod kernel and turn off all lagfix'es. Now all is in RFS.

Why I should convert everything back to ext4 ??

I think my problem is with internal SD-Card.. Flashing ROMs and KERNELs do not touch internal SD-Card.

From recovery I can't format internal SD-Card (memory):
E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 (No such file or directory)
E:copy_dbdata_media:Can't mount SDCARD
your storage not prepared yet. please use UI menu for format and reboot actions.

I have the same problem, Anyone can help?

I had this problem the first time I tried to install a new rom after rooting my phone. There's a thread somewhere with a solution (in the Dev section I think, if I remember rightly) which I followed and it worked a treat.

Just install firmware PDA-I900XXJP1 and pit file 512 with odin. Tick Re-partition. I'm not sure if any other stock firmware works but this is the one advised in the thread and it's the one I used, successfully.

This will get you back to an older version of stock Froyo. From there you can root again and flash an updated rom.

Sorry, it won't let me upload the files for some reason but they can easily be found in the stock rom thread.

Hope this helps.

I've flashed loads of roms with and without re-partitioning and it hasn't fixed this problem yet. I also tried to use 'parted' in an adb shell but it was also unable to fix, change or remove the partitions on the internal sdcard.
I think it must be a hardware-related problem.

Do you have specific stock rom used to fix the mmcblk02 problem of your gt-i9000? because mine I tried from 2.1 to 2.3.6 stock rom but still I can't used my gt-i9000 because of mmcblk02 error when flashing with pit 512 (re-partition tick) and 3 files.

I got this error too, because my internal sd card is corrupt. If this is the case, you can try what I have done.

You will need a microSD card

Heres my pennys worth.

For the "Format Failed /dev/block issue

I had the same issue, 4 issues in fact:

rfs format failed on /dev/block/mmcblk0p2
rfs format failed on /dev/block/stl10
rfs format failed on /dev/block/stl11
Deleting meta data
Data Wipe Failed

I was giving up hope then
I tried this method:

I attempted to wipe all i could: dalvik, cache and data.
I flashed 'pit_512' on its own with repartition checked via Odin.
Back to download mode and flashed GB stock rom 2.3.6
Rooted, again via Odin
Then went into CWM recovery, went to 'mounts and storage' and formatted every option apart from the 'Format Boot' option. All formats successful which was different from before.

Formatting completely factory resets the phone so complete data loss!

Another flash with 2.3.6.GB stock together with the pit_512 repartition checked. (before reflash I did the 3 wipes again, Dalvik, cache, data)
After rom flashed I rooted then tried the formats individually again through CWM out of interest to see if I got those same 4 errors and BINGO!! all went without any problems!!! :good:

Might be worth a try??
:fingers-crossed:
Hope this helps.

format failed

When I use the reset to factory default from the menu I switch to the 3e reccovery and get the error: rfs format failed

But when I use the CWM Recovery and select wipe data/factory reset all format item are OK.

so, what's the difference between 3e and CWM factory reset?

Odin 4.43 is used for Galaxy S PLUS i9001 with ariesVe.ops file not pit file, so what is your phone model?
