Phone continuously checking for SD card errors

Ok so my phone is continuously checking the SD card for errors. THis means that i cant use the sd card. i donno wat happened, or where it went wrong but wen i go in reccovery and mount it, it mounts fine and i can copy files over, but while in the rom it doesnt let me mount (option does not appear). This is happening on Cyan's latest rom and i have tried wiping and reflashing, and just reflashing to no avail. I have also tried flashing AmonRA's rom, and it gave the same problems. My phone is 32A btw.
I think thats abt it, if you need any other info let me know. Any help will be appreciated, thanks!

[Q] Need Help. Phone stuck on Samsung Recovery Utils Screen

I had Voodoo ext2 installed on my phone. I wanted to uninstall it. I had CWM installed on the phone but when I rooted into recovery, I got the Samsung Recovery Utils screen. I can't do anything from there.
I get the following error:
D:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1
(Invalid argument)
# MANUAL MODE #
I need help ASAP if someone knows what I need to do to fix it.
Thanks!

In stock recovery highlight apply update zip and hit home button. That will get you to clockwork as long as you did not do anything with the update zip on your sdcard.
good day. From the Fascinate sporting the XDA app.

Or you could reboot recovery from rom manager and it will take you, right into clockwork, it might be easier for some people. Remember if you are using the voodoo uninstaller follow the directions to the t and you will not have any problems I just used it today and I had no issues whatsoever.
Oh and chopper I noticed you are usually the first one to respond whenever anyone needs help I just wanna say thanks from all of us for all your help, I might need that help someday lol.

Can you please let me know the steps that you took to fix the boot loop? I was a newbie so I installed the Voodoo kernel then I've installed a non-voodoo kernel when I was playing with the ROM manager and it really messed it up. I've reflashed with the stock system/kernel/recovery files and wiped data/cached and it keeps looping into the Samsung Recovery Utils.
Thanks.

I don't remember what I've done to fix the phone. That was a few months ago. All I know is that I stay far away from VOODO Kernels!
I wonder if you can get into the download mode and ODIN a fresh copy of EB01 or DL09.
Here is the link for the EB01 (Froyo):

And here is the link for DL09 (Eclair):

Best of luck!

Pull battery plug phone into computer hold down volume on phone to put you in download mode. Next odin cwm once finished unplug from computer, put battery back in hold up and down volume keys while turning on. Bam your in cwm.

MIUI Uninstall problems

Hi,
Yesterday I installed MIUI RC5b, and had the external sd error. I read around and found that if you get a garbled screen after the bootloader, you have to downgrade it because you have a gingerbread one. That was my problem since I come from JVK, so I flashed EZBase and that fixed it.
I was getting the Cyanogenmod logo after the bootloader one, but still, I had no external sd, so I decided to flash a Doc's Kitchen rom back. After that, the phone gets stuck in the boot screen, does not even get to the boot animation.
I flashed a clean JM9 firmware, and got no problems, but if I install CWM and flash anything else, it locks again. From CWM, I cannot mount /system /data or /cache, because I get a "Cannot mount /system: !" error message.
I've also tried applying / removing lagfixes, and flashing EZBase and upgrading to the kitchen rom.
Reinstalling MIUI I got "SD Card damaged" notification, but everything else works fine.
I'm pretty out of ideas here. I've been reading around and haven't found anything similar.
By the way, MIUI rocks. I just wish I could solve the external SD problem and I would use it forever.
Anyone has any tips?
Thanks.

Could you try to use another sdcard?
I think you should try to reinstall again. Follow the guide provided by galnet or itskapil.

I have installed RC6, and I have exactly the same problem.
When I insert the microsd, I get a "damaged sd card" notification telling me I have to format it. If I press "format", the card formatted is the internal sd, instead of the external.
And after that, /mnt/emmc is still empty and I cannot copy anything there.
It must be a deeper problem, as I thinks it is what makes me unable to install any other ROM.

did you ever fix the miui problem, or get into download mode to reflash another rom? I used miui, then bricked my phone trying to flash back to darkys

Cannot get back to OS.

So yesterday I rooted my Atrix and loaded CM7 on there. Everything was going fine. I then started seeing errors saying that my SD was unmounted or not found while in the OS. I tried looking it up and all I could find was that I should try formatting so I wiped everything off it, didn't work. So now I went into ClockworkMod recovery to reset to factory and now it's not booting up to the OS at all. It just sticks at the logo screen where it says "Unlocked". I am able to get back to recovery screen but that's it. I can't access the SD card at all because it's empty and it can't find it.
Anyone have any ideas as to how to fix this?

Reinstall CM7. you can enable USB mode from recovery, just copy the CM7 zip back on from your computer, and you should be good to go.

Did you wipe the internal or external?
If I were you I would do a complete fastboot wipe and flash another ROM. That way you eliminate a bunch of possible problems.

When I try to mount USB storage, it says "Unable to write to ums lunfile (No such file or directory)"
Also, I wiped the internal one. I don't have an external SD. And how do I do a fastboot wipe?

Do you think it might work if I got an external SD card and put the files on there? Then try to flash CM7 from it?

[Q] Need help!!! Do I own a paperweight now?

Hiya,
So I just rooted my Nook Color (1.4.3) for the first time yesterday, it went great. I followed this guys guide: youtube /watch?v=7cP27ABgGjE and I got it rooted (Thanks btw). However, I got greedy and I kerfuffled my Nook color. I wanted android 4.0 on me Nook and so I followed this guys guide: youtube /watch?v=Tl_bKxhPbeo&feature=relmfu . Long story short, I installed CM9 alpha 0.05 zip with CMR. It installed fine (or so I thought) and rebooted.
Upon doing so, I rebooted and now I can't get past the grey Nook color "n" logo. Everytime I reset I can't get past that logo. When I run the CWR off the sd card (I used 1gb_clockwork-3.2.0.1-eyeballer, btw), I get the following:
E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/command
E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/log
E: Can't open /cache/recovery/log
E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/last_log
E: Can't open /cache/recovery/last_log
Any time I try to format the cache or data or anything from the "mount and storage" option, it just gives me an error. The only thing that doesn't give me any error is i mount/unmount the boot. When I go back (press power) I get the same string of errors.
I've looked around the net looking for a solution to no avail. I've tried the 8x boot fail thing and when I get to the installer, it fails...Much like me
Am I doing something wrong here? I'll be honest, I understand less then half of what people talk about on these boards, but I know enough that I'm not completely new at this either (Ah, old age). I need help, I'm frustrated... and cold... and a little hungry. I need any help, any at all on how to get my nook working again. Even if you tell me I own a fancy door stopper now, I just need something... something.

The problem is that rom was for the Nook Tablet, not the Nook Color. So it really should not have installed. It has checks in it to make sure it does not install to the wrong device. Are you sure your device is a Nook Color? The Nook Tablet has a silver bezel and the Nook Color has a black one.

Yea, It's the Nook color. I bought it when I first came out. I actrually tried istalling it twice. The first time it didn't install and gave me an error (can't remember what it was), So I tried it again and it installed with no prob.

Sorry, didn't see that you had alread confirmed it was a NC.

Well, you really messed it up if you installed that Nook Tablet rom on your color. I'm not sure how to get it fixed. It puts all the wrong stuff on the wrong partitions. You will probably have to search for how to repartition it and try to re-install stock. Try looking here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=27902129
You might be able to just forget about emmc and install cm to SD and use it that way. But even with SD it tries to verify you have a nook color and you may have messed up emmc so much that it cannot verify it.

I had the same thought. I tried it off the sd card but once the little penguin pops up and the code runs it stops and gives me an error and asks me to power down. I tried the partition thing from clockwork recovery, it looks like it runs fine but it's still boot looping at the "n". I used this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1094371
*sigh* This is it isn't it? Any other suggestions

That one does not re-partition enough partitions. Follow DizzyDen's directions in the thread I last referenced.

Hallo again,
So upon looking at dizzys post... i got really confused. lol. I downloaded all the files and it looks like (to me atleast) that I need to use the adb shell in order to use those files. Only problem is my device isn't linked up with that and for some reason my pc isn't recognizing my device.
I could be wrong and am just a complete idiot. (I'll actually betting on that last part). Any advice on that, would help. (not on being an idiot, the other thing...the partition thing)
I did however install the dual boot from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1448186 onto my sd card and I am able to boot up cm9 off the sd card. (kinda awesome)
I apparently i can no longer boot from my emmc (folders empty, don't know if that important), but I guess this sd mount will have to do.
Still, any further thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks.

Yes, you do have to ordinarily use adb to do what dizzy said. But you are lucky that you got the dual boot sd to work because you can do it from there.
Just boot to cm9 and go to terminal. Type su <enter>. You shoud have a # prompt. Now you can do the commands that dizzy wanted you to do from there. You should put those img files you downloaded from dizzy into /sdcard. Then do those dd commands dizzy had in his partitions.txt (one at a time). Hopefully that gets you back to an older stock on emmc.

Do you know exactly how awesome you really are leapinlar? No, cause I'm gonna tell you... your freaking AMazing... with a capital A and M, cause the A cannot contain the awesomeness of you so it had to spilled over to the M.
I ran dizzys .img files though the terminal just like you said, rebooted and now I'm back baby!!!
You don't understand how good I feel right now, I owe you a steak and a beer. lol

I'm glad it worked for you. I was hoping it would because I am working on a method to do the same thing with much smaller files to download. You were my tester and you did not even know it. Lol. Thanks for the feedback.

hahahaha. Glad I could help. lol
