[Q] SD card not mounting in recovery - Fascinate General

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.

[Q] Problems with new ROM, not sure if Obsidian related

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.

[HELP] CWR Problems

I was running Blackhole 1.4.1 and Geekniks 1.5.4 Kernel.
I wanted to try to update to DJ05. I downloaded the fascmodem.tar file. I flashed it while in download mode with odin using the PDA category. When I restarted my phone I could no longer get into CWR.
When I try to apply update.zip from the stock recovery, the error given is:
Finding update package...
E: Can't mount /dev/block/vold/179:9
(No such file or directory)
E: Can't mount SDCARD:update.zip
Installation aborted.
Please help.
I've tried reflashing CWM, I still have root access (according to "su -c id")
Fixed!!!! bad SD card.

Please help: G2 + Cyanogenmod 7 rc2 = my phone won't boot

WHAT I DID:
From stock ROM, albeit rooted -
opened ROM Manager
chose to download CM7rc2, also ticked Google bundle
allowed it to do its thing
Could not log into Google account, same as with CM6 - why does it hate me?
decided to flash back to previous backup
^^ that's where it gets stuck. I have 4 different nandroid backups, and none of them will restore. The best I can get is a boot loop. Right now I'm getting
Code:
Can't open /cache/recovery/log
can't open /cache/recovery/log
can't open /cache/recovery/last_log
can't open /cache/recovery/last_log

What version of clockwork recovery are you using and are you trying to restore a CM6 backup or CM7. Did you wipe before installing CM7? Also its been posted several places about using rom manager to update some have had issues and posted. Its probably best to use it to download the rom you want but for best results installing it manually usually avoids issues atleast for me anyways.

I am using the current version, 3.0.0.5 or something like that (I can't get into my phone to check). I am trying to restore a stock ROM. I have three backups made with ClockworkMod and none of them will restore. I try to start the restore, and after a few seconds I get "Error while erasing boot image: can't open /cache/recovery/log"
what method did you use to obtain root?

The older versions of CWR 3.0.0.5 had some troubles retsoring their backups. Try to find a new one.
And regarding the boot problem.
Try to wipe cache
If it still does not boot, connect it to USB and run an adb logcat while it is booting. Ther should be some helpful information.

adb logcat just says "waiting for device" forever.
You can't restore a stock rom with clockworkmod 3, as the stock rom is based on froyo (2.2)
Sent from my G2 running Cyanogenmod 7.
damn, that sucks!
You can use CWM 3.0.0.5 to flash between CM7, CM6, stock, etc and restore backups. I do it all the time. The newer versions (after 3.0.0.5) don't have that ability.
The output you provided most likely means you didn't wipe before flashing.
Reboot into recovery and wipe user data as well as cache. A nandroid restore from recovery should wipe automatically. I'm not sure Rom manager does it by default or you have to select the option. Perhaps that's why you got a boot loop.
If the restore fails Use ADB to push a rom. Sounds like it's not recognizing your device (perhaps a driver issue). If you can't use ADB, just mount usb in recovery and transfer a rom update. Remember to wipe cache and data, then flash. You will lose your apps and data, but you can restore them if you used Titanium Backup.
I do it all the time. The legit version of 3.0.0.5 that's offered through rom manager will allow you to reflash any rom

It was my understanding, unless koush put a fix in recently, that CWM3 only works using the ext4 file system which isn't compatible with CM6 or stock-they use ext3.
What I'd suggest doing is
-downloading the most recent version of CWM3,
-flash that through fastboot,
-try to boot in to recovery,
-wipe the phone, and
-try manually flashing CM7 and then the gapps.
That should resolve everything. If it doesn't, let us know and we'll try something else. Good luck.

He supposedly did but if that's true then why in the world didn't he fix the sd-ext aspect. Still doesn't see the ext partition *sigh*. Anyway, even if he did fix it doesn't mean it will work for everyone, especially when dealing with wildly different file systems. Especially with how different each phone can be. It just means it should work - no guarantee. If everyone else's suggestions don't work (which they should), then use rom manager to download and flash the most recent 2.x clockwork.

[Q] HELP!!! Stuck in Clockworkmod

This might have been touched on before but i have read so many pages i cant seem to find it. i am still a noob and usually pretty good about figuring my problems outby reading thru the forums.
I have a mytouch4g/glacier and am stuck in recovery. When i try to flash a rom all i get is assert failed: write_raw_image("/tmp/boot.img"."boot") (status 7) installation aborted. E:cant mount /cache/recovery/log
E:cant open /cache/recovery/log
E:cant mount /cache/recovery/last_log
I have installed several roms before and no problems. Wanted to try cyanogen 7 rc4 and it kept rebooting so i decided to go back to what i had and this is all i get... Please Help.
What recovery version are you using? What rom are you trying to go back to? Did you download CM using the phone it your computer.
Sounds like a bad download. Hard to say without more info though.

that's what I'm thinking too. I used to be able to switch ROMs and restore nandroid backups, but after updating to the latest clockwork I got the "can't mount /cache" errors and can't fix it now.

If your recovery image is corrupt, you don't have to un-root an re-root again. Just download a new copy from here and flash it via terminal emulator.
I'll post instructions for anyone wondering how to flash via terminal.
First rename the downloaded file to "recovery.img", then follow this:
Code:
Copy recovery.img to the root of your sdcard
start the terminal app
su(press enter)
flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img(press enter)
reboot recovery(press enter)

that could work if the phone booted up, but as of right now it doesn't boot and it won't since I had just wiped the phone when clockwork started acting up with the "can't mount /cache" errors. thanks for the suggestion though.
I was pretty desperate to get my phone working again so I jus dl PD15IMG.zip put it on the root of my SD card n went into hboot n let the phone do the rest. Back to stock byt hey I'm phone is working again

you lucky dog.... Mine does not want to restore with PD15IMG.zip, it fails on items 1-6, skips one more and freezes at updating the radio. Even tried with a freshly formatted sdcard.

HELP. clockworkMod recovery can't mount /sdcard

Hi all, I'm traing to install a fix, and clockworkMod recovery can't mount /sdcard.
do anyone have a clue on how to fix this?
tks!
I am also having this issue,
i'm using an 8G and 2G sd cards, tried to format them through the computer and through the phone but with no luck
i'm using clockwork recovery 2.5.1
try making a folder on your sd card, clockworkmod.
tried that, and it started working for me, dunno if it was a coincidence though.

I had the same problem. I think its due to the original JRDNEM_U3_2.59.0 sbf.
SO... Use this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=853674
When choosing your firmware select the Nordic 2.2.2 (Froyo) version [JRDNEM_U3_3.4.2_177-005]. Then re-root using : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=913709
Then you should be able to mount sd card in CWM.

Please tell me how you installed CM7 on the Defy.
I've been trying to install a custom ROM (CyanogenMod) all day on my phone but now I'm pulling my hair out by the clumps. This seems to be one stubborn device to play with. My desire didn't give me any trouble at all.
Please help with the following queries I have:
I have installed 2nd init boot and then was accessing clockworkmod through that.
But when I try backing up my ROM I get the error "cannot mount /sdcard".
On the defy if I press up and power on I get the default bootloader with battery check. I can only get into clockworkmod from the recovery app.
On my desire, I can directly boot into ClockworkMod Recovery by pressing up and power button. I don't remember now how I got t to do that, but I would like that in my Defy too. I suppose this will solve the sdcard problem?
What must I do to install a custom ROM on defy??
EDIT: I followed the cyanogenmod wiki at first and in their method I got stuck at the cp -R command, where I got the error "cannot stat, no such file or directory found" or something like that. I'm at my wits' end here, please help me!

This is hell annoying but simple solution worked on LGO2X. Reinsert SDCARD while in Recovery. It should work in all devices. Nothing stupid to try. Tell me...
It is because you formated your sd card with some other file system. Just go to settings / sdcard and storage . Unmount your sdcard and format it. It will get mounted in cwm from now on .

but how??? its UNDER the battery!!!
Still Can't mount sdcard, after formatting and creating folder on sdcard
phone and software details:
ClockWorkMod Recovery v2.5.1.8
Motorola Defy Eclair, OS 2.1, kernel 2.6.29
SndInitDefy_2.0.apk (Defy 2ndinit)
Android Bootmenu v0.6.1
USB Debugging is NOT on when I reboot.
I formatted the card, remounted it in normal operation, then tried going into the Android Bootmenu and mounting the sdcard, formatting it, backup but none of them worked b/c it couldn't mount the sdcard.
I also tried doing the same thing, but not remounting it in normal operation and shutting it off to no avail.
I also tried adding the folder: /sdcard/clockworkmod but with no luck.
Specifically, when do Custom Recovery, then in ClockworkMod Recovery, do backup and restore and do backup, I get the error:
E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 (or /dev/block/mmcblk0{
(No such file or directory)
Can't mount /sdcard
This particular version of the OS makes rooting very difficult. z4root doesn't work as it exploited some security feature that was figured in the firmware update. Since I have a mac, even after using mono, I was not able to get SuperOneClick working (it hangs on "waiting for device"). So the only way I found to root was from this post:

Same issue on Galaxy S Plus
Have to same situation here with a Galaxy S Plus (9001). Everything works great mounted on the stock rom, but not in clockworkmod. Card is formated as FAT32 with clustersize at 1024 bytes. It's another phone but it might be the same issue ... Reinsert card while in recovery doesn't work, it reboots the recovery I think. Putting a folder 'clockworkmod' on the sdcard also doesn't work.
