Cannot Get Phone To Start Anymore

So today i rooted my phone installed JF1.41, i partitioned my sd card IN MY G1, since i have a mac and for some reason it wont partition the card right. Then i did the apps2sd deal... Then i wanted to use a theme, well that screwed everything, and it wouldnt get back to normal or even start again. So completely formatted my card, which now has NO PARTITIONS(i guess just 1), and i think the phone is trying to read files on a partition that dont exist now, and NOTHING is working. Anyone on here that can help? I am rather smart with this stuff, but really am going to need someone to help me. I need my phone tomorrow.
Thanks.
How did you reformat your sdcard? Did you check in parted to see that you in fact only had 1 partition again? I suggest you flash a new updated ROM like Cyanogen 4.2.5. That has apps2sd script built into the rom. It will do it automatically so you don't have to mess with all that.
ok ill try it right now and see
I know FOR SURE i dont have a 2nd partition cuz i formatted it with only 1

you're going to need a second partition for apps2sd to work. I suggest you do that first before you flash a rom, or else you will just have to end up reflashing.
Ok Downloaded Cyanogen4.2.5
This is the problem i keep having when i try to apply the update it say
Installing from sdcard...
Finding update package...
E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 (or /dev/block/mmcblk0)
(Invalid argument)
E:Can't mount SDCARD:update.zip
Installation aborted.
So i think it has to do with the fact it wants to read /dev/block...etc from the partition of the sdcard that is now non existent
problem is i have a mac and cant properly fromat the 2nd partition (ext2)
unless you know of a way
the way i first did it was using some code i got off of here to have the phone do it itself... now that i cant start the phone i cant do the partition
what recovery do you have? I suggest you put this one on your phone.

It partitions your sd card for you.
Also for Cyanogen, you need to flash the htc OTA update one, then flash his update for those to work.
ok...
so i found some plugins for the new Snow Leopard OS for mac called MacFuse 2.0 along with its counterpart fuse-ext2 and i partitioned my card
you might want to upgrade to ext3. it's faster than ext2 and runs smoother
just tried to flash the recovery found here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=566669
with no avail and tried to start the phone(power+camera) and said no image
heres what it said for the recovery
/ # mount -a
mount: mounting /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 on /sdcard failed: Invalid argument
mount: mounting /system/modules/modules.cramfs on / system/modules failed: No such file or directory
mount: mounting /system/xbin.cramfs on /system/xbin failed: No such file or directory
I mean, what i want to know is how to build the file format back on my sd card so itll work, or build it so it will look on my actual phone... People put up the code to have it switch where it reads things from, there MUST be a way to switch it back manually as well
Use fastboot and write the recovery image
here's a link to fastboot
http://developer.htc.com/adp.html
then when thats running plug in your G1 and turn on holding Power and camera when the screen turns on you might have to press back to enable FB but once its enabled type in terminal
Code:
cd *where ever your recovery image is*
fastboot flash recovery *recoveryname*.img
reboot
can someone hook up a quick step by step on how to hook my phone up fastbooted? I have a mac and i can get the phone to say fastboot, but im lost after that... If you want to reroute me to a different thread, please verify that it REALLY has the info before posting it.
i have been trying to find the name of the device and im getting
/dev/tty.Bluetooth-Modem as the device name, but a Permission Denied thing... now i cant just go click something in the phone menus, since i cant get the phone to start, so is there a way to get permissions through the Terminal application?
that error you get when you type mount -a is normal continue as instructed:
flash_image recovery /(whatever your recovery image is called)
if you have adb you could try parted /dev/block/mmcblk0 and type print to see your parttitions.
so i can get it to say it flashes the recovery, but still not starting
so when i try to do any updates it says SDCARD wont mount
any input?
Looks like im going to go for a broken record, until SOMEONE can help me figure my phone out... I need to get it running, and i know someone can figure it out

Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1

Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1
I've managed to get into a right pickle with my Dream 32B
Now when I try and update from SD it gives me an error message saying
"E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 (or /dev/block/mmcblk0) (No such file or directory) E: Can't mount SDCARD:"
I can still fastboot to a recovery rom and use adb but I cannot flash any roms to get the phone up and running.
I have tried 2 different SD cards and reformatted them both. Both of them worked fine before yesterday.
I have tried "adb shell mount /sdcard" and this gives the same error
Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
can someone help me or no
I got this exact same message. After a few days of troubleshooting, I concluded it was a broken SD card slot. Sent it in for repair to HTC, and it was fixed.
got the same problem when i was rooting my phone...
to cut it short it's 95% SD card format error, you need to reformat your SD card from recovery mode as in Amon-ra 1.7 or something...
that actually solved my problem

NEED HELP PLEASE deleted partitions off emmc

Been semi bricked for hours... I messed up the emmc partitions using adb gparted dev/block/mmcbkl0 and now nook won't boot.. not even off SD card
the only thing i can get to boot off sd card image is rootpack which boots me into recovery.. i tried everything but no matter what I do in recovery i always get errors regarding the mounting of my cache and data, which obviously is because i deleted the partitions...
when i try to edit the partition table from adb parted denies me permission
please help... i'm very new to the nook and everything I just said I learned in the past 4 hours that i have been reading through forums trying to fix it..
thank you
In this very forum..

Besides, what makes you think you deleted the partitions? Did you?
on adb parted i went through every single one of the partitions and deleted them... only left one intact.. so i'm pretty sure i deleted them..
I have already tried flashing this and it flashed just fine however when I go back into the recovery menu I get the same error
E:\ something something can't mount data/recoverylog.log
E:\ something something can't mount cache/recoverylog.log
and four others just like it..
if anyone is willingto help the errors i get in clockwork recovery are
E: Can't Mount /cache/recovery/command
E: Can't Mount /cache/recovery/log

And why in gods name did you do that?
Anyway, get the repartition/fix tool that's in these forums.. I think in Development, might be in General. It just works.

S7390L slowly corrupted itself to death, need to recover files inside internal memory

My phone was slowly corrupting some files inside the external sd card, but I thought it might have been because I had named a file with a $ sign and it had some problems when I plugged the usb.
After I had taken the file out and deleted the corrupted files (Some of my game saves died too :crying, I thought it was going to be okay, but the corruption did go on after some time.
One day, when I was using the phone, suddenly, I got a white line accross the screen and the phone rebooted, then every time it turned on, it worked for 1~3 seconds then, again, white line and reboot.
Tried to fix it in various ways, turning off wi-fi, changing the brightness and things like that in the moment before it rebooted, but I couldn't make it work.
After some tries/time, it gave me an error saying it needed to be wiped and reseted, but I really need some files inside of it, so I didn't wipe it, and now it just stops at the samsung logo.
I can get it into recovery mode or that "custom rom" screen, by using the volume buttons when booting up, and I could even get it to show in adb when in recovery mode, but I can't mount the sd card with it (It always tells me I can't do it, something about privileges, I think).
I just wanted to get some files from the internal memory, after that, I think I'll be flashing it with CyanogenMod so it'll be a Android 4.4
But, for now, what can I do to recover those files?
Thanks in advance
Edit: Recovery menu says:
--init-recovery...
E: failed to mount /data (invalid argument)
can't mount /data (invalid argument)
Then it tries to apply "multi-csc" and after it "successfully applies" it, then it shows the "failed to moun /data" error again
Well the easiest way would be to flash TWRP recovery and use the file manager to copy the files that you need to your mem card... if u couldn't access the internal memory just mount it manually either from the option "mount sdcard" or use the a shell command.. I believe there is a terminal emulator there
