Problems Formating - myTouch 3G, Magic General

So i was flashing a new ROM on my 32B phone,
and after doing the wipe/fat32+ext2+swap/convert ext2 to ext3/move apps+dalvik-cache to SD
i take the mSD card out to put into my computer to add the new ROM
but when i try to open the car, it tells me to format the SD card, or else it wont open.
So i did. now after flashing the ROM, it is running much slower than it has before(i have used this ROM before)
so i go back to the recovery page to convert the ext2 to ext3, it gives me an error
"Error: Run upgrade_fs via adb!"
and also when i try to move apps to SD, it gives me another error
"Error: run apps2sd via adb!"
Then i wipe it again, but when i try to do the fat32+ext2+swap,
it does it very fast, usually takes about 1 min, now its about 3 secs..
Did i mess something up when i formatted the SD on my computer?
how do i fix this?

Read the error messages again and try doing as they say.
Btw. this is the wrong forum for this and thread has been repported.

how do i run those?
what is ADB?
the search function does not come up with any helpful results.
if someone could point me into the right direction as to how to solve this, it would be fantastic!

Please post in the correct forum.

Error reading /sdcard/ *Guru assistance needed!*

I used the root method at unlockr.com, and i have #root# access in the terminal emu app. When i get to the part at unlockr about flashing recovery, (thru terminal emulator) i get an error reading /sdcard/recovery-RA-heroc-v1.5.2.iso
I have RUU'd the phone at least 5 times... I have also tried using the cmd using the guide here, and get an error at basically the same spot.
my hero is 1.56.651.2. i have spent over 15 hours across 2 days searching forums and trying different methods, but i guess i must be doing something wrong.
btw.. the very first time i tried using the method from unlockr (root through cmd, flash recovery through terminal emu) it *almost* worked. It tried and got a ton of messages and an error regarding too little memory. after i looked it up and realized i could have just freed up memory in the PHONE(not sdcard) it was too late, i had already RUU'd again. It hasnt come close to flashing since, only the error reading message.
i get an error reading /sdcard/recovery-RA-heroc-v1.5.2.iso

this isn't your issue is it?

do a RUU to go back to bone stock, same version you have

EDIT: and when it get to this part about "flash_image recovery recovery-RA-heroc-v1.5.2.img" give it an extra min after you hit enter and it "looks" like it's done before proceeding
let me know if you get stuck, i'll keep an eye on this thread also let me know at exactly which step "looks weird"
oops that was just a typo. I have been using .img for the file ext like you are supposed to. I have formatted the sd before trying, and the same error. The guide you pointed me to also did not work, I always get a flash error at (step 18). I have RUU'd at least 5 times to start over, and it didnt help any.
and about giving it an extra minute after the flash command, it instantly tells me
"error reading /sdcard/recovery-RA-heroc-v1.5.2.img"
so i cant really do that.
What should i do
I have ran into that same issue. I would guess you have upgraded the stock sd card. If you have, it is formated to fat32 not fat like the original. Try formating the card fat then try again. Good luck to you.
Dave
EDIT: I see you have formated the card. I believe the card has to be fat not fat 32 (someone correct me if im wrong). When I was rooting my phone I had same error til I formated it fat. May the force be with you.
What do you mean by upgraded the sd card? I didnt ever do that...at least not on purpose. So how would i check the format?
Put the card into a card reader in a pc, right click on drive and hit properties.
crap, i dont have a reader for this type of card. no way to do it through the phone?
and this problem couldnt be from anything else, could it?

you can mount the card from the notifications bar when you plug your phone in usb. then just right click on the removable disk in my computer (mine's drive H: ) then click "properties"
it will bring up this window
if it says FAT32 then there's the (assumed) problem.
Okay!
it IS fat32.

do you know how to format?
before you format be sure to save anything you have on your sd card that you want/need as it will erase everything.
1. move anything you like to save to your computer from your sd card
2. right click on the removable disk in my computer
3. click on "format"
4. in the little window that pops up chose "FAT" leave everything else alone
5. click start.
6. thats it!
damn its not working.
As soon as i click format it unmounts...any idea?
BTW thanks for the help

i've never tried it that way, but you will probably have to go the card reader option, or use...
GParted
windows disk management
but those tools give you the power to seriously mess up your computer. so i recommend running these on someone's computer you don't like.
or the card reader option
You can format the card under "SDCard and Phone storage"
Just unmount then format.
Okay well modchipper said he had the same problem, and the sd has to be formatted to FAT,not Fat32.
Gparted and the other tool, how can they mess up my computer?
The format option in the phone formats to FAT32...
If you're not careful you can accidentally nuke your hard drive, instead of your sdcard.
Well i tried windows disk management and it didnt see the drive. Gives me a feeling that gparted wont work either. does anyone know for fact that sdcard format has to be FAT?
Well once again I'm at my mom's, and her USB ports are screwed up, so I couldn't tel you what mine is formatted as.
Well i have multiple SDCards, but the one that is currently in my phone is formatted in FAT32 & I believe that was the one I used to root & flash the recovery originally...
Well this just seems impossible it seems ive hit a wall...
Im trying to use Fresh pre kitchen, but that wont work either because i have windows 7.
The Fresh Pre-kitchen works fine on Win7.

HELP! can't mount SD card (i've already tried all the fixes)

I've been using android on my phone for awhile, and tried a bunch of different builds and never got this error. Yesterday when i was switching back to shubcraft all of the sudden the boot loader gives me
mounting /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 on /sdcard failed: invalid argument
failed
failed to mount sd card. cannot continue.
/bin/sh: cant't access tty; job control turned off
i tried loading just about ever build and get the same thing.
I've changed the startup.txt and i always reformat before i switch builds. i was thinking it might be the sd card itself, but it works fine in winmo.
if anyone can help me it would be much appreciated, im having android withdrawls...
oh and its the stock 16gb class 2
EDIT: It randomly started working again...strange...
This Is What I Do
I was getting either the same thing or something very close to it on about 2 rom to the best of my understanding is when your trying to flash (for lack of better words) a new rom you still have some left over traces either on your storage card or the phone so what you need to do is format your SD card and reflash your phones rom.
I took the origin file put it on my sd card unzipped it there went into the android rom folder cut the plain android folder paste it withe the other folders then reased every folder EXCEPT the PLAIN ANDROID FOLDER now put the sd card in the phone enable the the sound then install android.
To be able to watch the process after you flash your rom go to settings, system, power (battery) and uncheck everything so it doesn't sleep. when you install now you will see the progress and will be able to read the progress if you see 2 things have failed
This is my process and it hasn't failed yet when I didn't do it this way I had fails.

you can search a tool named SDFORMATER V2.0, it will be worked.
okay this is now happening to me as well!
had been using Android and various different builds without hitch.
but today after trying the Hyperdroid build the sd card fails to mount on startup.
Editing the startup.txt does nothing, have also flash to the latest chuckyrom and formatted the sd card time and time again and tried different builds.
anyone have any other suggestions?
Ta
working again now.
the fix for me was to reupload my backup to the sd, format then upload the required new build.
very odd...

[Q] Unable to write to ums lunfile. Reward of 20$ for solution!

Hi everyone,
I'm sicked of this error "Unable to write to ums lunfile (No such file or directory)" I search all this forum and google. But i can't find a solution!
So I offer a reward of 20$ to the one who gonna help me with that problem. I prefer offer someone this little money for help instead of buying a new phone...
I have an HD2, he was rooted with a MIUI Rom (and a lot of other Android NAND Rom before), everything was fine until one day i woke up and no more SD Card readable. I restarted my device but it changed nothing. I try reflashing the ROM but when it come to the part "install zip from sdacard" with ClockWorkMod i had the "Unable to write to ums lunfile (No such file or directory)" or "E:Can't mount /sdcard"
I tried reflashing a Win6.5 ROM and redo the whole process (MAGLDR 1.1.3 with Recovery 3.2.0.0 or 4.0.0.0) but always the same error.
I tried putting another SD Card => same thing
I tried formating my SD Card with SDFormatter
Someone have a solution? Or want to try helping me getting rid of this error?
thanks
up! Some one please :'(

1. Reflash ClockWorkMod Recovery (The newest version)
2. If that doesn't work, take the SD Card out of your phone and reformat through Windows using FAT32. MAKE SURE YOU "UNCHECK" QUICK FORMAT
3. If I'm not mistaken, that error is a mounting issue with USB, so maybe reinstall all of your drivers for the phone. (i.e. the Google USB driver, the HTC drivers, etc.)
Ok i just reflashed it and nothing changed.
Actually I can acess my SD from USB MASS STORAGE of MAGLDR 1.1.3
So it's a problem with Clockwork Mod Recovery isn't it?
I also have the same problem. I am trying android for the first time and I am stuck.
formatting the sd card worked for me
kinda same happened to me
i accidentally re-partitionned internal sd card
then i tried to format all folders: /data /system /sdcard........
now i can boot into CWM
but i can`t even mount USB ... it shows "E: unable to write to ums lunfile"
when i try to wipe data/system, it shows:
error mounting /sdcard/.android_secure!
when i plug it on the computer, windows can detect 2 disks but i can`t access it with partition magic
i think i`ll have to repartition the internal sdcard and format everything again.. thats it?

I'm sure you got it fixed by now, but if your without a card reader you could , boot into the tri-color screen and reinstall win mobile 6.5 and use it to format your sdcard , then redo magldr or clk and see if you get things to going, just make sure your using a CWR made for HD2
i have the samme problem

And whats about the case, you internal memory gives you this error..? :crying:
Hello, this problem has came to me also, just one day the card is not working, i have 2 cards of 2gb, both of them not working with the ums lum errors cannot mount them in cwm recovery. Both of them are working in the card reader in pc. I have tryed to windows full format them, then panasonoc sd formater, it didnt work. I have clockworkmod recovery 3.0.1.4 version, and i haven found any upgrades on that. E: unable to write to ums lunfile
anyone could give me a solution without wiping rom out ?
Also I'm thinking to upgrade my clockworkmod recovery to some later version, maybe that could help out ? But cant find 2 things - 1) how to do that without using sd card?
2) Will i loose my data on the phone ?
i'm not sure if your roms will load after formating sdcard, probably it depends on the rom you use.
Once upon a time i had some errors with my sdcard and nothing help, neither windows formatting nor some sophisticated utilities like panasonic formatter.
But formatting in nokia phone did fix the sdcard. It was Nokia n97,but I believe any nokia n-series will do, or maybe just any nokia phone. Try it it helped to many people.
and let us now if this method worked
i did found a way to install cwm without sd card, using fastboot. But that didnt solve the problem of phone detecting sd card. I have 2 cards, none of them are working in the phone, but works in the reader. I dont have any data in the card, phone works with android, but it wont recognize sd card. Anyone got fixed that ? I mean, the card was working one month ago, no its not.
Anyone any sugestions without reflashing it ? since a lot of ppl try this, and it didint work for them .
Here what i found is 100% exactly what is happened to me.

[Q] SD card problems

Hi,
I was trying to flash my HD2 when i ran in a bad problem.
Whenever I try to read or write to SD my phone freezes. I tried several SD cards.
It happens when I try to install a ROM from SD, try to partition a card or when I mount it and try to put files on it from my computer.
I also prepared a card at my computer with EXT4/FAT32, trying to install a ROM it freezes.
Can anyone help me?

Ok weird but anyhow you have two things to try either:
Format your sd and try your repartitioning from your pc and start over
Or
Format sd and partition right through the advanced menu in clockwork mod recovery. Personally I always do this but keep in mind that if you require an ext4 partition you must use ext4 recobery as normal cwm is only capable of creating an ext3 partition. Let me know how it goes and if notbwe will take different approach bud. Good luck

Thanks rawdaddymagraden for your reply.
I did so already, I started to use clockwork to prepare my SD card, it did create the FAT32 partition but never created the ext4, at first I was thinking it was busy creating because of the "please wait" notification. After an hour of waiting i suspected the phone hung in process, I tried so wih 2 cards.
Next I prepared the card from my computer, I used MiniTool Partition Wizard for it. I have put the prepared card into my phone and continued my installation. When I mounted the phone and tried to copy my install files it became unmounted after it started copying the file.
Finaly I wiped the card, prepared it and have copied the files from it on my computer. After I did put the card back I started te installation from it, it starts installing but it freezes after a few seconds.
I'm lost.....

Hmmmm..... well have you tried to do a task29 on your phone and then install recovery again and repartition.
Also, what boot loader and recovery are you using?
P.s. you can always press the thanks button as well as saying it :thumbup:

[Q] Phone flashing itself.

I thought i will have no problems now and nothing will suprise me with my HTC, but of course i was wrong =)
As i solved my last problem with Google Play, now once my phone weirdly rebooted by itself, and when i loaded android it looked like it flashed itself cause i had Menu as i flash rom to set language and stuff.
I was like "wut.." but ok, i set my phone again, and then it started to download all apps i had before, but every dll ended up with an instant error
"There is insufficient space on the device."
I also looked at the App settings, selected All and huh, Internal Storage status bar was all grey with no info how much space is left.
I downloaded ROM (tytung's 4.2.2 ..) again through my phone, and tried to flash it again, but it said i have no EXT space, so i had to wipe my SD card in CWM and create 1gb ext partition.
Then it was all good, i downloaded all my apps without any problem and i was happy, but next day it was same thing, it rebooted with Setting Language Screen and afterall i have no storage. Now downloading tytung's ROM again to flash it...
Seem like an endless fun :crying:
Any solutions?
PS. I am on holidays, and i have no connection with PC, only phone + web.
#EDIT
Oh, when i try to flash ROM i get an error:
Code:
Mounting SD-EXT failed!
Please Create an EXT4 partition
(mmcblk0p2) on the SD Card First
Error Messages:
mount: mounting /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 on /NativeSD failed: Invalid Argument"
Making partition will help, but i bet that tomorrow i will have the same situation...
I was going to suggest changing the SD card. Or it could be the same problem with robbie, try to remove the sd card and clean the contacts on the sd, and clean the slot of the phone if possible.

Thanks, i just caught myself that last time i partitioned EXT i set swap to 32mb or sth, and it should be 0 ofc, will see if that will or won't help, then i will try with sd card.
#EDIT, yay, it's stuck on green HTC logo now!
#EDIT2: couldnt stand this, deleted everything, gonna hard reset or wait till i get usb to install new rom ... anyway phone useless for now.
