Clockmodwork can't mount my /sdcard :-(

Hi there, im from Spain and my Rom is BUJP7 (Vodafone Spain Froyo, Official) so my Recovery is 3E and I couldn't apply the Clockmodwork update.zip
The ROM is rooted (Z4Mod) and there is no lagfix applied.
I didnt want to flash a full kernel in order to get 2e Recovery so I followed this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=813475
And now i have the 2e Recovery working.
I've applied the update.zip and I get in Clockmodwork Recovery...but I can't use Nandroid because the sdcard can not be mount:
E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0 (or /dev/block/mmcblk0p1) (Device or resource busy) E:Can't mount /sdcard
I can access to the Sdcard from the phone, write and read, but Clockmodwork can not.
I've tried to format the SdCard and download the latest zip from clockmodwork, and I get the same error.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.
EDIT: Solved by installing Rom Manager instead of manually applying update.zip from 2e recovery.

pls help need slove

1/ Nothing wrong, it's just a warning!!!! Just clic next.
This just means that in the build you try to flash the dev doesn't put a readme to be displayed.
2/ if you use the latest CWM you have to use "AD Recovery".
The only thing which is wrong is that you read the explanations a little bit to fast. Read carefully the warning or explanations before asking.
Anyway, hope I have helped

thanks for reply. i had successfully installed the magldr v1.13 but when i load into AD Recovery, it said "no boot sources". i think i messed up everything. because i had format the phone using Task29. Before that it works fine everything for me to load android using v1.13 with zip files. after i format it i seem like system messed up already. i need help. About the nand build i installed, not all the android successfully load. what happen to my phone?

Ok, you have installed MAGLDR.
So now you have to install CWM (download it, go in MAGLDR, choose USB Flash and launch DFT to install CWM).

@truc007
he just need to follow the link on the top for RaiderX303 post.
Its all there, easy step by step procedure. He done a great job with it and the procedure so its no point to write it all over somewhere.
@chuaws
m8, just look into that link from my first post, thats definitely help u. There is no way u will not do it. Just follow it step by step.

@rikardo1979 : you're right, didn't pay attention to your link.
If he asked the question again 12h after you gave the solution... it could make us think that our answers are useless... I better go to bed now.

the answer to your question is that you have install a recovery file"400mb",that is corrupt or something like that!When you install madgr,try to install again a 250 mb recovery file,not 400 mb,and you problem will disappear!Sorry for my english and this is 100% guaranteed !byee

it took me about 4 hours of hard work to get the sollution)!I thought that I've broke my phone

[Q] mount external sd in recovery

hi,
i use Reflex rom from Civato (many thanks Civ:good.
Everything work fine in normal use (also the data/file in external microsd)
My first problem: when i install V8UNLOCKED multi ICS BOOTLOADER installed whit CWM
the process end fine but in recovery i see at the top: CWM Recovery v5.5.0.x(thor2002ro/digitex rev1.7.3)
And, after istallation when i back to Power menu i have:
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/log
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/log
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/last_log
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/last_log
The second problem, maybe connected whit the first:
Each time i try to install a rom update from external sd i have the following message :
E:Can´t mount /sdcard/
If I remove my SD, and insert it again, it mounts and i can update the rom.
I'v tried to wiping cache & dalvik partitions but both problems remain...
p.s.sorry for the mistakes in English and the noob questions..

? The MicroSD card that you can remove from the top should mount as /external_sd/
As for the messages about not able to open the log files could be...
1. The logs do not exist
2. The mount or location its referencing does not exist or is not mounted
3. They exist but you have no permissions to get to them
Sorry I cant be of much help in resolving... I am sure someone will pop on with a solution for you...

Right. The log files do non exist in sdcard. or in external_sd.
But. why I see. :CWM Recovery v5.5.0.x(thor2002ro/digitex rev1.7.3) at the top after I install the V8UNLOCKED ?
And what about the probmem whit read the external_sd in recovery mode:
E:Can´t mount /sdcard/
If I remove my microsd and insert it again, it mounts perfectly ?

A500 inexplicably bricked

Dear Experts,
Happy New Year
This is my first actual post on xda-developers but I rooted my beloved A500 with the advice on here just over a year ago.
The other night I plugged my device in to charge, all was well. When I woke in the morning the device was off, booting it would only take me to the first screen which shows the Skrilax_CZ ROM welcome screen. I tried booting it a few times, as you do, and each time I got the same result.
I was able to enter the boot recovery menu fine.
In green text I got the following:
E: can't mount cache/recovery/command
Under that it said:
E: Can't mount /sdcard/
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
I am able to get into APX mode, I only know this because the 'blackthund3r A500 Manager' is able to see the device when I try to manually put it into APX mode. I don't know if it helps at all...
I am now unable to get into the boot recovery mode since playing with the A500 Manager ion APX mode.
I found a similar thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1953751
This suggests it is proper broken.
Does anyone have any advice on what I can try? If the device is dead then is there any way to retrieve my data which is not on the SD card?
Many thanks to you all,
Robbie

All i can suggest is you power down tablet , remove sdcard and put it in a card reader to save any data on it / format it / put it back in n see if u can do recovery ? or use different sdcard ?

Hi Brysie.
I have had the SD card removed while I tried working on it so that I wouldn't risk affecting my data on it. I seem to get the same results now whether I have the SD card inserted or not. Although I just had another try and it is now allowing me to enter the recovery mode again which it wasn't a couple of hours ago.
I am north east of the Shetland Islands on an oil rig just now and I didn't bring my card reader with me. I will try what you suggest when I get home which will hopefully be within a couple of weeks.

Hey RoverP4,
I was wondering if you manage to find a fix to this? I have had an extremely similar bricking. My message is a little different.
Code:
E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/command
Kernel: thor-kernel_v1.16mini
Updates on TegraOwners.com
Setting CPUO & CPU1 to 1GHz...
Done!
Fixing A500 Boot/Recovery Chechsums...
Running itsmagic
Done!
E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/log
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/log
E:Can't mount /cache/reovery/last_log
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/lazy_log
Thanks for any help.

You can try running babsector (search on the forum), that will attempt to repartition and format.
If that doesn't work then it is most likely due to hardware failure of the eMMC chip, so a motherboard replacement is the only real solution. Same thing happened to me, cannot install anything on it as nvflash cannot write to the device. Haven't gotten around to replacing the motherboard.

Install Skrillax_CZ's bootloader.
Install TWRP (I use version 2.4.0.0).
Wipe System and Cache partitions.
Install a compatible ROM. If you want something fairly vanilla, give Lightspeed a try.

Thanks for the suggestion. But Im almost sure the mother board was fried. It wouldn't let me mount the SD or flash drive. So I couldnt install anything. Replacing the MoB wasnt that hard. Heck I took it out 3-4 times.

In recovery select Wipe Factory Reset
Then Wipe cache and then reboot.
It should work.
