So I "flashed" (not sure what the Android terminology is) the Obsidian V1 ROM today as I didnt know about V2 when I did it.
When I try to install V2 or a different ROM or just try to reload a backup via Nandroid I keep getting errors.
This is what it tells me.
ClockworkMod Recovery v2.5.0.4
E:Can't Mount /dev/block/mmcblk0 (or /dev/block/mmcblk0p1)
(Device or resource busy)
E:Can't mount /sdcard
Ive tried to install zip from SD via ROM Manager but it times out about 15 times while trying to mount the SD. Im not sure what happened. I can use the Obsidian ROM I currently have loaded. I can install apps as well.
I am also getting some force close "screencapture" something or other every now and again as well.
Did I have bad install of Obsidian or is it something else? How to I revert back or install something else?
It looks as if you had voodoo installed. Did you have a lag fix?
Voodoo? I know Ive seen it mentioned but i have no idea what is nor did I install it myself. And no lag fix. Was I suppose to do that as well? Crap.
looks like a bad flash... try to redownload and flash again.
Ive tried to reflash or revert. Its saying I cant mount the SD, so it wont let me browse to it via ClockworkMod Recovery.
It's not your fault, Obsidian just failed like that. Did the same for me... I had to Odin back to stock
All the froyo roms had a problem with SD card mounting... There are workarounds on how to reflash in the thread
I got it flashed back to stock VIA Odin. Now trying a different ROM. Thanks for the help.

[Q] Flash any ROM = "android.process.acore has stopped" missing recovery/update.zip?
Former evo (power) user, running (almost) all the nightlies and then RC of CM6. (usb power port broke. Chose Epic rather than waiting a month for the (out of stock) evo. So far, I like the hardware much better on Epic).

This morning I flashed Bubby's Magic AOSP. Same deal. About a minute in, I get the following error: "android.process.acore has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again. - Force close".
Again, successfully restored to my backup (of stock).
I've "replaced" blur on my stock with widget locker, ADW and beautiful widgets, but am having terrible battery issues. I do not care for any of the samsung/sprint stuff.
Obviously I am missing something here. Am I missing some recovery file? update.zip?
Thanks for any help/suggestions.

I was encountering issues like this as well. I went back to the start and did it all from scratch.
Used odin to get back to stock no root no custom recovery.
Once stock I let the phone prompt me for the di07 update ( probably not necessary as there is now a .tar with the di07 update so u can use that in odin)
I installed root using the one click busybox 2.2.4
Then I used the clockworkmod 2.5.1.0 flasher in the Permanent Method! Thread
I then installed the premium rom manager and when I did a backup from it I noticed something different ... it went through some stuff that said "replacing stock recovery with custom" or something to that extent. In the past doing that from rom manager would just take me to the stock rec. Now I can even boot into custom rec from rom manager and since then I've had no fcs of that sort when installing backups or new roms.

From my understanding of this error, so far at least, it has something to do with contact sync. I'm working on developing a ROM right now and I'm experiencing the same issue.
If anyone has any insight into this "acore" error message, I'd like to know what I might be able to do to fix this for myself as well.

So, should I use Whosdaman's DIO7 tar (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=794138) instead of the DG27?
Also, does that pit file (Aridon's 'How to return to stock' (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=773032) work with DIO7?
Thanks for this info, btw
I need that DIO7 file but Megaupload isn't working, would one of you be nice enough to upload it to Mediafire for me?
if your running adw launcher, go into adwsettings > system preferences and make sure that you have wallpaper hack unchecked, this was causing the acore force close issue on my phone
for your clockwork issue, make sure your running a kernel that supports it and also after flashing clockwork recovery (the final version) an update.zip file should have gotten installed on your sd card, dont remove it has it is needed.
the only way to reboot into clockwork recovery is to do it through rom manager, every other way will send you back to the stock recovery.
hope that helps

Odin'd back to stock. Rerooted using 1-click. Rom Manager (paid version) still takes me to that blue samsung.
Don't seem to have update.zip from root, tho i *do* have root.
Still getting the
E:Failed to seek in /cache/update.zip (Invalid argument)
E:signature verification failed
Installation aborted.
message, including the update.zip file not found...
****Goes away for 30 mins****
Ok. I re-re-odined. Then tried noobini's permanent method (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=782300)
Try-first would not run. Try-last did not give me su permissions.
What am I missing here?
Maybe I should just re-root the 1-click? If I do, where can I pick up the update.zip and flash it manually?
Thanks,
Drew

Ran the Noobini permanent method over the linux 1-click -- still unsure what I'm missing in way of CWM.
No update.zip on sd card (not in any's the one-click zips i've seen either.
Still can't get to recovery via Rom Manager -- only via Vol Down + Camera + Power,
So, to reiterate, I'm rooted, ROM Manager shows 2.5.0.2, but Flash Alternate Recovery is unavailable.
Back Up Current Rom takes me to the blue samsung recovery (not cwm recovery) with following messages/errors:
--Install from package...
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Verifying update package...
E:failed to verify whole-file signature
E:signature verification failed
Installation aborted.
Hit the home screen to fastboot back to phone.
Power off
Vol Down + Camera + Power,
make a back up that way
So. Anybody want to lend me their update.zip??
Thx,
Drew.
Looks like I *do* have update.zip on sd card. I copied to my desktop and was able to extract it (meaning the compression didnt get corrupted).
It has all the nandroid files in /sbin.
Just thought of something. This is the same sd card i had in the evo -- has a bunch'a stuff on it (including old cwm backups)
Maybe tomorrow I'll (backup then) format card, odin, reroot?
Have you tried wiping cache and data on each ROM Install? Sometimes crap is left over and you end up with old application data/caches that interfere with the way they interact. Backup what you need, then wipe data/cache. Then install Zip from sdcard, after it finishes, wipe data/cache once more and reboot into Android.
Hope this fixes your issues.

Just an fyi on this acore issue. I was having the same problem after flashing tha boss. went back to andromeda and same thing. Aosp and same thing. Flashed the Andromeda kernel and the problem was solved. During it all clockwork was still working so I'm thinking that aim1126 was right earlier when he said that the kernel must support clockwork.
I sell and activate these phones and i had the acore force close on freshly activated epic the other day
One thing I found is that if you remove the TouchWiz launcher from any ROM then you will get this.

I just installed LauncherPro on Apophis, removed the TouchWiz launcher and deleted it's folder in /data/data/. It's only been about a minute, but I haven't seen any errors yet. Is there any specific way to trigger it?

Try syncing your contacts with TouchWiz's facebook feature... it most likely won't sync.

I just delete that folder because I'm OCD about unneeded files.
Here's how I setup my phone.
1) Odin to DI18
2) Flash clockwork recovery with this method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=782300 (Don't worry about rooting. This runs an exploit that gives you temp root and flashes clockwork.)
3) Power off, reboot into clockwork recovery
4) Wipe data
5) Flash ROM (Try my ROM if all else fails. I haven't seen one acore force close.)
6) Flash kernel if needed
That method SHOULD eliminate any possible variation between installs. I'm running the most recent version of Apophis, Phoenix kernel, no TouchWiz, still no errors. If you follow this method and get acore force closes, I will be baffled.

Ah, that might be it. I don't use facebook.
EDIT: I just created a dummy account, opened the contacts app and signed in. It synced without force close. Might be due to a lack of friends. Any other ideas?
So I'm trying to install update.zip in recovery to get to clockwork. Problem is its not letting me install it, I'm getting the following error:
E:Can't mount /dev/block/vold/179:9
(no such file or directory)
E:Cant mount SDCARD:update.zip
Ive tried various downloads, and 2 different SD cards still no luck. Also tried various Odin's too.
Should I try to flash to stock then start over? I was running a Voodoo kernel and did a fixed lagfix(odd typing that) now I'm stuck. This really has me puzzled.
By the way i cant boot to android either
Thanks for all the help and awesome forum!
Well I'm back to stock now, but at least its not a brick
if anyones curious or has this problem i used the adrynalyne.us/files/kernels/DI01package3.tar.md5 to flash the stock rom.
I've flashed many roms and this has never happened to me before. I went to flash cm nightlies 73 and I get an E:Cant open /sdcard/cm_heroc_full-73.zip (bad) Installation aborted. I tried to download the rom again and flash it and it did the same thing again. I flashed to stock and then rooted my phone again and still got the same error. Ive looked online for a fix to this and couldn't come up with anything. Anybody know a fix for this? The recovery I used was clockworkmod 3.0.2.8, I thought it might have been the recovery so I went to an older clockwork recovery and the same thing happened.

I just D/l #73 and flashed ok for me,but I'm using darch's 1.7 amon Ra recovery so I don't know if it your recovery.Are you running Firerat's,If so you may have to resetit up from the instructions in the firerats thread.also if you are running firerats don't wipe your sd ext.,and make sure you have mtd partion setup with enuff room.Some one that knows more about it will speak up!
I know I had this happen to me a while back. My fix was that I had to download it from a computer, than transfer it over to my phone.
nm Saw you got it corrected over in the nightly thread. He formatted his SD card and it started working.

Yes sir everything is working great all I had to do was format my sdcard. I have no idea why the problem occurred but I guess that simple format fixed it. I copied most of the files that were on the sdcard and returned them after the flash and tested it again and its working still. Hopefully this information can help anyone who unfortunately will come across that problem.
I have looked and done searches for this problem with no matches. Phone stuck in bootloop after battery died. Pulled battery and went to recovery, tried to restore after wiping showed error message for data wipe
E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1.
(file exists)
When I tried to restore the attached results show up on the screen.
Any help with this situation would be greatly appreciated.
Try installing another rom. If that doesn't work, try flashing a new clockworkmod version.
Yes, I have tried three different roms and flashing a different recovery with the same type of results. The problem seems to be with data. Everything I try to do including wiping data ends up in an error message.
Hmm. Then you might try going back to stock from hboot and rerooting
Is sd full, or nearly full?

Id start with the newest version of clockworkmod and an new SD card.
Unrooted using the RUU with reverted HTC drivers. Process seemed to go fine but when it reboots it gets stuck in a bootloop with original droid bootscreen. I still have s-off and am wary of removing for fear of being stuck.
You could try flashing super vr wipe and do it that way.
sounds like the sdcard isn't mounting. i would back up the sdcard then reformat it and try again. or try another sdcard if you have one handy i usually keep a spare around just in case.
Look up five vibe fix ...

This kind of thing frightens me to death about flashing a new ROM. I'm dying to get that 2.3 ROM that just posed but I'm afraid of bootloops, whitescreens and error messages etc.
It's really not that bad, as long as you dont touch it while its doing it's thing it works great. I just installed Ovo Community Mod Test RC5 and it is SICK!
You need to update your hboot to .92 first though.

Sounds like something isn't mounting, but I'm not sure if it's the SDcard. Those directories are on eMMC, aren't they? Not sure if this would help, but I'd check to see if it's mounted as read/write. Looks like it's read only.

Dude, use Doug Piston's ROM Flashing Tutorial, here. It's easy.
After the screen shot showing Wiping Cache, also do:
Mounts and Storage - format /system, format /data, format /boot
Advanced - Wipe Dalvik
Then resume at the Install zip from SD Card screen shot...

I followed those directions and flashed the new 2.3.4 without any issues. I was originally on 2.2 rooted with unrevoked3
Much bigger problem. Now that I have run the RUU I no longer have clockwork recovery and cannot flash anything. When I reboot I get the droid bootscreen in bootloop. Frustration!
Have you tried just booting with the sd card removed? Issues with the sd card can stop it from booting
Also if you flashed the RUU your unrooted therefore have no cm recovery. You will need to root again for that.
Yes recovery was gone, attempted to flash clockwork again. When booting into recovery strange bar appeared and screen went black. After several tries with same results flashed Amon ra style recovery and now have this recovery but am still getting bootloops when flashing and having same E: can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 (file exisits) error messages. Confident there is a solution but have no idea how to get there. Determined though! Any help is greatly appreciated.
It is saying read only file system . E:Error in CACHE:recovery/log
This is at the bottom of the recovery screen.
Ok, I've said this a few times on here, but I don't see were you've mentioned that you've tried it. Remove your SD card and see if it boots!
android noob here, just converted to the Vibrant from blackberry not long ago. i'm no stranger to modding phones, did some OS updates on my BB, but now i'm perplexed.
I was gonna try and throw a custom ROM on my Vibrant, but i've hit a speed bump. i'm rooted (via superoneclick), i installed ROM manager, and i flashed the current ClockworkMod recovery (2.5.1.2) but i cannot get it to make a backup. when i boot into recovery mode the only options available are these:
-reboot system now
-reinstall packages
-delete all user data
-delete cache data
-format internal sd card
i think this is the stock recovery, so for some reason it's not recognizing the CWM recovery.
i keep trying "reinstall packages" (at least 15-20 times) but every time i do i get this:
E:failed to verify whole-file signature
E:signature verification failed
Installation aborted.
I've confirmed that the update.zip file exists and is on the internal memory card. I've tried older versions of CWM. I've uninstalled and reinstalled ROM Manager several times. I'm at a loss at this point.
Also, not sure if it's related, but when i hit the "Fix Permissions" command in ROM Manager it says "An error occurred while attempting to run privileged commands!" Is this relevant?
HELP!
Thanks!
sounds to me that you have stock recovery. one that says 3e instead of 2e. If thats the case you do not have root. you need to flash a kernel that has the 3e to 2e fix.
check out this thread..http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=833423&page=18.
i'll give this a shot, thanks. hopefully it's not above my level of knowledge!

So... that must have been the problem ! glad I could help.
I greatly appreciate it, thank you.
Embarrassingly enough, I believe the issue was that I didn't have Busybox installed. I did the 3e to 2e fix with no luck, did some more reading and realized I didn't have busybox, so I installed that, redid the 3e to 2e fix, and voila, the green menu appeared. Getting ready to flash a custom ROM now
haven't decided between nero or bionix.
Have you considered looking at Miui or cm7. these are both gingerbread based roms. If you want to stay on a 2.2 I suggest an EDT Rom like project V.
