hi i am a noob and i downgraded from the crc1 to the rc29
and i get in the recovery menu E:Can't mount CACHE:recovery/log
i fallowed the http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=538456&highlight=crc1
and got to this part "If you are coming from another Apps2SD ROM. In order to guarantee you won't have any issues with the install you should remove all directories starting with "app" and the dalvik-cache directory on your /system/sd (ext2/ext3) partition. If you backed up your whole SDcard, this shouldn't be a huge issue. - Yes you'll have to reinstall your apps. You can try to skip this step, but if the install fails, rinse, wash, repeat and don't skip this step." and did not understand what i needed to do
i tried to complete the guide and now all that i have is the E:Can't mount CACHE:recovery/log and i cant load any update.zip.
i really dont know what to do pls help
To resolve this error, you must wipe in the recovery mode (Alt+w) and then try installing
thanks i did it and it worked, but now i have a different problem
when i try to mount the g1 the pc doesn't recognizes the phone, what should i do?

I only loaded a new rom on the incredible successfully once, last summer when the signed 2.2 rom came out early and I couldn't wait for the OTA.
I had this problem crop up that said my storage was full when I had gobs of space left on my internal storage and my sd card. Finally, after I did the factory reset option and still had the storage issue, I decided to try reflashing with a new rom because my phone was becoming unusable. I couldn't install apps, save contacts or even open text messages. My phone wouldn't even sync with Google.
I decided to try flashing with the redemption rom after reading some good things about it.
I managed to load it successfully, but I still had the storage error! argh!
After trying to reformat some things with the ClockworkMod Recovery partition menu, I tried to reload the redemption rom again. Something went wrong.
Now I get messages saying(on the ClockworkMod recovery screen):
_______
E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p2
(file exists)
E:Can't mount Cache:recovery/command
E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p2
(file exists)
E:Can't mount Cache:recovery/log
E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p2
(file exists)
When I choose the option to install the redemption rom off my sd card in the clockworkmod, it fails after giving me similar error messages.
I'm stumped. Can anyone point me towards the right thread to deal with this? I can't boot to install any other software onto my phone. Practically everything I try gives me can't mount error messages.
I was hungry and in a hurry and never made a nandroid backup I HAVE tried reformatting the sd card, but I got no different results from that.
So am I A) totally screwed, B) somewhat screwed, or C) not screwed at all, just an idiot?
Help?
im in the same boat. i have no idea how to fix it. ive tried every fic i can find on google and NOTHING works. someone HALP
forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/6433-solved-messed-up-partitions-on-internal-storage/page__st__20 the site wont let me post a link, but this is what i used. i can now mount data and cache. working on booting now.
Have you tried a different SD card? Your SD card could have failed or become corrupt in some way.
I doubt you are totally messed up. You may need to get a brand new factory ROM (on your new SD Card) and start from there. Just Google it. As for an SD Card, there will be a few on sale Friday.
As for the full memory, I had that same problem, it's a cache issue with the HTC software (HTC Mail, Facebook, Peep and such). Once you get back up and running make sure you root (unrEVOked is working on a work around for the latest mid Nov OTA but there are other ways to root) and get a Cache Cleaner. It's not a permanent fix, but it does work.
Good luck!
Thanks for the response. I have yet to try Barbee's solution, but I did try another SD Card. I reformatted both cards to Fat32 and had the same error message on both. I'm going to go grab my phone and try Barbee's solution next.
it might be that version of CWM recovery is just retarded. what version are you on
I take no credit for this but try this its on Adrynalyne's blog http://adrynalyne.us/
"There have been a few cases where /cache has been corrupting on the DI."
"To fix this, you must be in clockwork recovery.
First, unmount cache from partitions menu.
Then, mount system from the same menu.
adb shell
system/bin/e2fsck -p /dev/block/mmcblk0p2
exit"
That should fix the issue you guys are having.
Thanks Barbee, I was able to unbrick with your solution! Pretty muh all of that was way over my head, but the instructions were clear and they worked. Now I just need to get that Redemption rom to work with the *228 option1 programming on the phone... that doesn't work now lol.
That's easy, go into settings sounds and turn the touch tones to long. This is common in custom roms.

what happened was you trashed your internal partitions using cwm partitioner......the method on cyanogen's forum shows how to properly reformat the internal partitions to ext2 and gets you back to having a usable phone.
Glad to hear it helped you. But all the credit goes to the guys in the link post. It was a little over my head too lol. I've used adb before but not for a life or death situation lol

I have rooting problem with my HTC Desire. I tried couple of tutorials to root my Desire.
I cant give te link but one of the thread was:Root Your Phone With UnrEVOked!
The Root My Droid Ultimate Guide to Rooting With UnrEVOked) all of them were with unrevoked). It worked to that part when I rebooted and saw that in my apps list was that Superuser logo, but thats about it.
Because when I tryed to do backup (after reboot and hit - + power) it gives me an error:
clockworkmod recovery 2.5.0.7
E: Cant find MISC:
E: Cant mount CACHE:recovery/command
E: Cant find MISC
E: Cant mount CACHE:recovery/log
E: Cant find MISC
I did: Wipe Data / Factory Reset. Install zip from SD Card and then select Choose zip from SD Card (I tried to install update-oxygen-1.0.4-signed. zip): It gave me an error like:
asser failed: write_raw_image("/ tmp/boot.img","boot")
E:error in / sdcard/update-oxygen-1.0.4-signed. zip
(status 7)
Install aborted
All time when I reboot and do - and power then there flashes green text, and theres something no something or no boot or smth, it goes so fast that i cant even read it.
It seems like that it cant mount SD card ot something, but it can find files form there. Im out of ideas, I used XDA and google search, but nothing didnt help, I tried these rooting steps maybe 3 times but always were errors.
So I hope someone can help me or suggest what to do? (Sorry for my bad English)
Best regards
Did you partition your sd card?
No, should I? Theres wasnt anything written about partitioning sd card...
It is definitely said in the Oxygen ROM thread - if you want to use that ROM you need to have an ext partition on your SD card to make the a2sd script work.
Ok, but what about backup error?

If your phone is PVT4 S-ON, you should flash another clockworkmod (newer than 2.5.0.7) or make it S-OFF. I recall people had problem with 2.5.0.7 with S-ON.
If not, then still try to flash a new one (> 2.5.0.x) via unrEVOked.
Okay, I have understand now that I have PTV4-S-ON desire, and the main problem is that it cant use clockmond recovery, so should I use unrevoked (from file, i change recovery with amon-ra recovery) and then root again?
Or what should I do next?
I did and it worked, thanks.
Hello,
im in some big trouble.
I tried installing the new sense gingerbread rom.
It would not boot and i accidently formatted my sd card.
Now i cant boot the rom (loops at the android splash logo) and can no longer get into clockwork recovery.
All i can do is get into standard android system recovery.
if i use apply sdcard: update.zip i get the feeling it tries to go to clockwork
it says: e:cant mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 (invalid argument)
Is there a way to get this phone again...rooted or unrooted?
Please help me
Maybe to save yourself time you could just run an ruu and it will return you to stock. Then you just root again.

Edit your thread title to reflect your issue or problem please.
Hi all. Got a bit of a problem. I have been using InsertCoinGB S2.1 ROMs for a while now and went to flash v22 this morning. Decided I would also take the step of updating my CWM to 3.0.2.8, as well as ext3 alignment, at the same time.
So, steps taken were Nandroid backup, apply update.zip, flash alignment_ext3.zip, flash ROM. All seemed to go well, but got stuck at splash screen. Pulled battery and got back into Recovery, then tried to restore Nandroid...
Ended up with
E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p2
(File exists)
Error mounting /sd-ext/!
Skipping format...
E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p2

Help!! I am pretty sure I have stuffed my SD, but hopefully not the whole phone. I have an 8gig at home that I was using prior to current 16g...I might be able to swap that in, just means I will lose all data from past week, which is not so bad...
I have done a fair bit of googling and searching here, but most remedies seem to rely on being able to boot into ROM and repair thru ROM Manager or GParted etc, but I am unable to get past Recovery or splash screen. I am S-On, btw and had 996mB Ext3/13.xFAT32...
Any ideas??
Cheers.
EDIT: Fixed. Phew! Was able to run home at lunch and thanks to clunky old Dell laptop, I found that my SD was not dead, just wounded. Had a GParted disk ready to go, so was able to format Ext3, boot up and flash Recovery. Will try to flash v22 again later...
Hello friends, i hope you can help me because i ****ed up real bad today... I was in cwm recovery, and press some button that said something like "format for rom" or something like that... Now i dont have any SO installed, no rom on my phone, and it says i have 0mb avalaible. So i flashed the TWRP recovery because im more familiar with it, i have tried sideload but get this error con the cmd window after it gets to 100% * failed to write data 'protocol fault (no status)' *
On the phone i have: E: No valid storage partitions.
Any help please? Already tried adb push rom.zip /data or /sdcard but since i have 0mb for storage on my phone i think any of that will work. I can flash recoverys, but cant move any rom to my phone to flash Help please
Ok it seems that i was able to push the rom.zip to my /system but when i try to flash it, it says:
E: Unable to mount /data
E: Unable to find storage partition to mount to usb

What carrier are you on?
How does that matter? The phone was originally at&t. I need to format my storage or my /data or something to be able to install the rom
