So, I can't find an active thread that solves this issue, here goes.
I have a G1 running RC29 w/out fastboot. If I boot to recovery console, I can press Alt+L and get the command screen. I then get two errors:
Code:
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/command
E:Error in CACHE:recovery/log (No space left on device)
Alt+L and Call+Menu+End are the only button combinations that do anything. Alt+W and Alt+S do nothing, so I cannot load any update.zip files.
I can't adb shell, I have to telnet into the device.
If I type df, the results are:
Code:
/dev: 49564K total, 0K used, 49564K available (block size 4096)
/sqlite_stmt_journals: 4096K total, 0K used, 4096K available (block size 4096)
/data: 76544K total, 3836K used, 72708K available (block size 4096)
/cache: 69120K total, 69120K used, 0K available (block size 4066)
/sdcard: 1916856K total, 89424K used, 1827432K available (block size 4096)
Typing mount returns:
Code:
rootfs / rootfs ro 0 0
tmpfs /dev tmpfs rw,mode=755 0 0
devpts /dev/pts devpts rw,mode=600 0 0
proc /proc proc rw 0 0
sysfs /sys sysfs rw 0 0
tmpfs /sqlite_stmt_journals tmpfs rw,size=4096k 0 0
/dev/block/mtdblock3 /system yaffs2 ro 0 0

So, clearly my /cache partition is full, which means I can't do much of anything. Attempting a Factory Data Reset from within the OS returns:
Code:
No reset was performed because the System Clear service is not available.
From within the telnet, if I ls from within /cache I have two directories, recovery and lost+found. I can delete and recreate /recovery. /lost+found, however refuses to delete, claiming "directory not empty" but when I cd to it and then ls, nothing appears.
At this point, I'm severely stuck and have been unable to find a solution with either Google or IRC. I'm told that I could fix it with
Code:
fastboot erase recovery
except I don't have fastboot and cannot load the SPL because the recovery console won't respond.
At this point, I'll try anything as the phone is pretty much useless. If you power it off, it reboots instead. I have to pull the battery to turn it off.
do you have adb installed?

Yes, I do.
I remember my G1 had a similar problem but I can't remember what I did to fix it but I'm pretty sure there is some helpful info around the site it's just going to be scatered all over
Every thing I read on the specs for the Evo stated that it has 1GB of internal Memory. Even this article here:
http://newsreleases.sprint.com/phoenix.zhtml?c=127149&p=RssLanding&cat=news&id=1405106
So why is it that when I run Sysmon or Android System Info, they show 427MB total??? I would expect this number with 512MB of ROM, but nearly 600MB being gobbled up by the system? That's a little hard to choke.
Does anyone have any insight on why I'd be getting these numbers? is there a better app to use and is anyone else showing this too?
i would like some clarification on this as well.
Yeah. I kind of just took what everything that was being said for granted. My RAM shows up at 394MB, that's almost expected. 427MB of ROM when 1GB is advertised is not acceptable...unless I'm missing something. I'm not too familiar with linux; however, a diagnostic is a diagnostic.
its 1gb between all thepartitions. what you can write to is only on /data/. /system/ takes up a good chunk and so does /cache/
if your rooted run df from adb shell

Roger, that makes sense why it's only showing 424MB. Those partitions including the free ROM make up 1019MB.
Thanks for the quick reply =).
Hi, this is my first post and the HTC Aria is my first android phone… Am hoping I don't sound stupid and that someone can help me out. I have rooted the device and am currently using the b005 ROM.
I have tested the Simeji Japanese IME available on the market but am not too fond of it, and thus have been trying to install iWnnIME for 2 weeks now but can't seem to do it. jmaurice got the IME from a Japanese HTC Magic unit so I assume that it should work on the Aria: h t t p : / / my.opera.com/wiz/blog/2009/06/16/how-to-install-japanese-ime-on-android
I have followed his instructions. Everything works until I try to push stuff into the /system/lib/ folder (line 6 of jmaurice's blog instructions). I get the error msg: failed to copy 'iWnnIME/filename' to '/system/lib//filename': Out of memory
Example: failed to copy 'iWnnIME/libiwnn.so' to '/system/lib//libiwnn.so': Out of memory
I tried placing the files on my SD card and moving them over using Root Explorer (File Manager) but that didn't work either. The files would not move at all.
I then found h t t p : / / forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=526085&page=8, followed the instructions and got this output:
#df
/dev: 149616K total, 0K used, 149616K available (block size 4096)
/sqlite_stmt_journals: 4096K total, 0K used, 4096K available (block size 4096)
/system: 245760K total, 183832K used, 61928K available (block size 4096)

/sdcard: 15124024K total, 355128K used, 14768896K available (block size 8192)
If I am not mistaken that means I have approximately 60MB free in /system. I don't understand why it's stating Out of Memory and failing to copy when the iWnnIME folder is around 13MB. Would greatly appreciate advice from you pros!
I've tried to avoid asking a stupid question. Have spent all day mucking around with a7. Have installed 2 updates via micro sd. was successfull, but still had bugs. I have Dexter v1.2 on now and wanted to do 1.3 but a7 WONT MOUNT SD....DOES NOT SEE IT....have tried 2 cards, one had previously worked....both are 8 gig 32 FAT ...BOTH were reformatted several times. windows 7 can read cards, but not A7. Almost seems like a driver corrupted OR??? How can I get A7 to see sd??? cant update without it....DAMN frustrating...dont want to send back machine...like it.
Thanks
Your not only one! My sd card wont mount either.elocity has not solved this problem yet.
you neeed an sd adapter
You A7 isn't broken Dexter has an an explanation for the SD card look for it.Use a SD card adapter connect to your PC then to your a7
this is not helping
Any ideas re how I can get the a7 to read the micrsd card would help...It worked before and I was able to flash ...but now will not see any files or mount any card so I'm unable to re-flash. Ive done all the reformatting on the microsd to FAT32, and have tried 2 cards ...no luck..
Any suggestions would be appreciated...,
/me thinks we need to start a stickie regarding which cards work and which don't.
Make sure that you're using an 'SDHC' card.
There are several posts lately regarding problems with standard Micro SD Cards
not functioning properly. -=- LINK -=-
It seems that the reader only likes 'SDHC' cards and not standard 'SD' cards.
Let's start listing the specs of cards when posting, perhaps we'll start to see a pattern.
_mr
Still need help
BOTH CARDS I used are SDHC and worked previously but now the A7 doesn't see(read) card after they are in slot...so I'M UNABLE TO RE-FLASH. I'VE re-formatted them (FAT32) and downloaded dexters 1.3. work fine on PC but NOT on A7....ANY IDEAS OUT THERE???
Micro SD Card Problem
I had the same experience. A7 used to recognize my micro sd card but when I changed to Dexter's 1.2 A7 does not recognize the card anymore. However, what I noticed is that the A7 still is able to read my MUSIC and PICTURES that are all in my micro sd card. I know that because if you go to your pics and music the A7 still shows them all. But if you go to SETTINGS - SD CARD AND DEVICE STORAGE SETTINGS......It says " MOUNT SD CARD (Insert an SD card for mounting ). Why would it say that when my card is in there? Also I just purchased an 16GB usb drive and that too is NOT recognized. Any fixes to this problem? Thank you very much!
It's very strange. Who has extra experience to get output from "mount" command in terminal emulator???
May be sdcard mounted wrong...
Bring up Terminal under Dev Tools and just type 'mount' & ENTER
(hold down the MENU key to bring up the keybd or hook up a USB Keybd)
Then hit the MENU key and you can email it...

SD Card
There are numerous references to this issue in other threads. Dexter has responded and states that it is I believe a driver hardware problem with eLocity. I cannot "mount" the card either but if I go into any number of file managers I can see it, read it, write to it, etc. The OS does not recognize it for the purposes of putting apps on it, etc. And yes, video and music apps do see the card and play from it. I have had no problem with this.
I recently had a problem with a new micro SDHC card but I attribute it to being defective since I have a 16GB one and it works fine, I also have a 4GB and it also works fine. Also external drives I plug into the USB slot are recognized for reading, writing, etc.

Try unmount manually
Code:
umount /mnt/sdcard/sdcard-disk0
Then go to settings and apply unmount sdcard
Check in terminal that you don't have any mounted sdcard
Then in settings mount sdcard by choosing menu item
Check in terminal again. Have you 1 or 2 strings?
So can I mount the microsd w/ terminal and then be able to.flash and upgrade System???
I've been having this problem for a while too.
Problem: No sd card or usb pendrive detection. They can't be mounted or unmounted
- Inserted sd card and usb drives can be read and written to. When sd or pendrive are removed a phantom directory persist with all the files and directories still listed there.
What I've done so far:
- Tried different sd cards and USb drives, however the same sd card and pendrive works fine on the other versions (see below).
- Sd card detection works fine in it Dexter's mods 1.1, 1.2 also in FW 2.0127 and the new 2.0133 images. I only have a problem in Dexter's 1.3 mod.
- Tried replacing vold.fstab with same problem.
-Downloaded mod 1.3 from different sources(possible corrupted file) with same result.
Attached is dmesg from my A7.
Conclusion:
-I'm sure its not a hardware problem.
-I'm not familiar with android but I've flashed many devices. My gut feeling is that Mod 1.3 is not installing correctly on my A7. All other versions work fine so its not the way I'm flashing.
Any help would be appreciated.
Did you try this?

sorry I don't know what this means.
- setting/sd card &storage remain useless.
It seems that Dexter changed mount-path
In stock ROMs:
Code:
Internal SDCard - /sdcard: 1651552K total, 355236K used, 1296316K available (block size 4096)
External SDCard - /sdcard/sdcard-disk0:
In DexterMOD 1.3 as you explained:
Code:
/mnt/sdcard: 1651552K total, 355236K used, 1296316K available (block size 4096)
/mnt/sdcard/sdcard-disk0:
I think that Settings.apk (setting/sd card &storage) has inline command to mount at /sdcard and not at /mnt/sdcard. Or Dexter forgot about it... or something else...
As you wrote that DM v1.2 is working properly - preffer to use it...
I would prefer to usre mod1.2 but I wanted the bluetooth update which btw is also not working. Bluetooth works properly in FW 127 and 133. I beleive Dexter changed the process sequence in mod1.3 which may be causing the problem. I don't understand why some people seem to have this peoblem and others don't. THe onlu thing I can think of is had updated to FW 2.0127 prior to installing mod1.3 and it can't be undone.
I await Dexters mod1.4 or Official FW with Market.
*note: While /sdcard exist in main directory it js a link to mnt/sdcard.

the settings.apk does not handle it. only framework..
and its in the "services.jar" and "framework.jar" , and its all ok for a "mobile" emulation..
the problem of using the non-standard /sdcard (eclair 2.1 standard) is: its not compatible with games.. it needs to be /mnt/sdcard and Android os needs to report this path back for most to work, even some apps does not recognize the old path.. so its all made this way to give better support.
if you follow the thread in its early days the old solution was no good, and not many programs worked due to this issue.
Ok. I understood situation about /mnt/sdcard - this path for games.
But why people have double mounted sdcard like middle_road
Or can't manage sdcard like rphillippe777?

Dexter I wanted to let you know some applications if not all that are using the sd card Do NoT work properly. ex.. Titanium backup shows my sd card as size 1.69gb when in fact its larger (8gb) and I have to copy the backup directory it produces to my sd card (sdcard-disk0) because it working on mnt/sdcard. Also usb-disk0 is produced and persist with all files and directories from the last time I inserted my pendrive.
Hi,
I accidentally formatted internal Nook storage (userspace, that NOOK shows to OS). Just hitted RMB-Format, window didn't appeared, nook disconnected... and won't connect again.
I tried to connect with noogie, formatted userspace as ~240MB FAT16.
Tried formatting /emmc in CWM
Tried doing hard-reset w/ Alpha-FormatTouch-2.zip
but nothing works.
I have fully-working nook (it sees sdcard, in properties-about it says "Internal Storage Not Available), but it would not connect to PC(
PC sees two drives, but can't access any. Please help
Can you get to a shell with ADB?
Do "mount" and you will get a printout of your mounts.
The last two are /media (your internal, 1st USB mount) and /sdcard (your 2nd).
If you formatted /media it probably can't be mounted.
I don't think ClockworkMod can format an arbitrary partition, not sure.
My usual advice would be a backup.
