Here's the story, Please read. I don't think anything like this has happened to anybody else...
Running CM6.02, unrevoked forever (s-off)
Using my 8GB SDHC card from my old phone (It's about 2.5 yrs old)
Over the past few weeks the SD card will randomly go corrupt, I can't recover data and must format it.
SD card went corrupt again 2 days ago. This time it refuses to format. I tried formatting it in the phone, and 2 laptops, no go.
I ordered a new SDHC (class 6) from newegg and it's in the mail. I don't have any other SDHC cards to use.
In the meantime, today the phone was acting weird so I decided to reboot it. The phone gets to the CM6 boot animation andd gets 2/3 through it and then it loops over and over, never getting into android OS.
Did a battery pull, removed SDHC card completely and it still won't get past the CM6 boot animation.
OK... so I go into bootloader and perform a "CLEAR MEMORY" in hopes to get the phone to boot into CM6.
NOW the phone doesn't get past the lock screen, it just sits there forever.
Another battery pull.
Getting desperate and I go into clockworkmod and hit "clear data/cache" and it pops up lots of errors that it can't mount the internal volumes!!!
Is this a very bad sign, wtf have I done and is there anything I can do to get it to work without a SDHC card??
I have seen something like this before. Here is a useful link
I wouldn't be to worried about it at the moment. You might have a brick till you get a new sdcard, but once your new one comes in the mail you should be all set. If your still having issues after you get a new sdcard then you might have problems.
Is it possible to install any rom or the RUU without a SD card? I won't have that SD card for days......
For whatever reason now instead of showing the Dinc splash screen it goes straight to FASTBOOT. It looks like bootloader but has options:
BOOTLOADER
REBOOT
REBOOT BOOTLOADER
POWER DOWN
wth?
A friend let me borrow his SD card. I flashed a new rom on my phone through clockworkmod. Everything appeared to go fine, no errors. Reboot phone and it is still stuck on the HTC splash screen.
How do I rebuild the internal partitions through ADB using parted?
I was able to format 2 of the partitions and now I can atleast wipe data/factory reset without errors. When I wipe dalvik cache though I get an error:
Code:
E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk1p2
(file exists)
Dalvik cache wiped.
Loaded a rom (ruby) and it still doesn't get past the splash screen.
parted shows 3 partitions, I only formatted the first 2
Code:
print
Model: MMC HYNIX (sd/mmc)
Disk /dev/block/mmcblk0: 8095MB
Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B
Partition Table: msdos
Number Start End Size Type File system Flags
1 8192B 797MB 797MB primary
2 797MB 1007MB 210MB primary
3 1007MB 8095MB 7088MB primary fat32 lba
(parted)
Should I try formatting the third?
I fixed it, phones working now.
wouldn't you think it might be potentially useful to tell people what the problem was and how you fixed it, should somebody else run into the same issue?
just sayin...

yea but it seemed like a one sided conversation in here so obviously not too many ppl cared
I was glad to see that the Cyanogenmod link helped you.
Funny enough
Long time "researcher" here on xda, keeping up with trends and techniques. Took the plunge and tried some roms this week after deciding to root it and go figure I get stuck unable to mount that 3rd partition.
Would have been nice to know what you did to get it to work. Guess I'll continue the search of google. It's funny that most people have issues with the first two storage mounts - teacher's always said I took the path less traveled. Damn!
Hi guys
I just bought a new 16gb class 6 Adata SDHC card and need help partitioning it in this way [Fat + 1GB Ext4 + 0.3GB Ext4 + 0.1GB Swap] as this is required for RCSMixHD rom which i want to flash...currently i am on leedroid 2.2c app2sd+ and a 4gb class 4 card....tried googling but couldnt find anything that worked for me....also how do some guys keep changing roms ? this task seems so tedious
BTW i have tried ubuntu method, had a ubuntu 9.04 disc - booted with it and opened gparted, but gparted doesnt detect my SD at all...ubuntu detects it though
You only need one its much faster with it anyway I've done a couple of random reboot and all is super fast and stable
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
ohh...i dint know, but dev of RCSmixHD suggests those partitions, also please suggest how to partition the memory card
Thank you
Just did it via GParted method. I alredy had an ext3, so i did not have to format the fat32 - just upgrade to ext4! I can tell it fast
Also if you use the data2ext, then it is better to have more partitions.
There is a post in RCSMixHD how to use GParted.
create a gparted boot disc [ i used magiciso] then turn off your pc. restart your pc and get into the boot mennu [its f2 for me] set your cd drive higher in the list then your hdd. save changes. restart with disc in drive. it will load linux. while it is still loading, atach your phone in disk storage mode. i found if i hooked in my phone whengparted was completely loaded, it owuldnt recognuze my phone but if i had my phone loaded and ready when gparted finally fished loading, it would recognize it right of the bat. creating partitions is easy to do. and i recommend rc mix hd. i use it myself and its the best all around hd rom i could find and the only 1 i havent tried yet is cool hd v2a.
gparted live disk worked...thank you guys
I have been trying gparted on my sd card for the whole day, it goes on well, but CWM say can't find ext partition?? What to do??
I am getting this error while D2ext rom in CWM recovery
"Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p2
invalid argument
Error mounting SDEXT:! "
Any idea what to do??
hei shakeebkazia
take contact I can help you with those "normal" upload sits.

hi! this is really doing my head in.
I have a 16gb card, im using gpart on ubuntu to partition the card as follows:
fat32: 13.53
ext4: 1
ext4: 299mib
swap: 108mib
after my phone doesnt recognise it, i cant turn the phone on, i cant flash anything in recovery because of an "e can't mount" error.
when i plug it into windows it says it need to be formatted, and if i go to disk manager and try formatting the fat32 part it ends up formatting the 1gb ext4 so when i set everything up on my phone i only have 1gb sdcard space!!
if anyone can let me know why this is all happenning i would greatly appreciate it! is there something im missing in the process?
thanks.
EDIT: the system does boot but it says i have a blank sd
then i get a notification saying: UIDs on the system are inonsistent, you need to wipe your data partition or your device will be unstable.
with a button that says: i'm feeling lucky :L
You only need 2 partitions. 1 extra and 1 fat32. Fat32 needs to be the first primary partition and extra needs to be the second primary partition. You don't need a swap either. You could just boot into recovery and do it in there but that's only ext3 but you could still use gparted to upgrade it to ext4.
Sent from CM7
Just partition it in recovery to fat + 1ext partitions, then download SD align tool from Baadnewz blog which will align ext partition and will convert it to ext4

flashed an update to a ROM earlier (which i believe was just coincidental timing) but it stock on splash screen, pulled the battery, booted back into recovery, got tons of e:mount/cache/recovery/ errors which were followed by ending destinations like lastlog, log, etc. cant mount emmc, sd card will not mount so i am stuck. i tried the sd card in the desktop which said it had to be formatted before using which i believe may be because of ext4 partition. so i used a old card which still would not mount in device, put a fresh copy of CWM5 (PB image) on the sd card, it saw and flashed it (so the problem isnt hardware related) but i still had the same issues. i am considering attempting a stock image. hoping that will get me running, root again and be back on tract in an hour. however before i make any steps i was hoping to get some input cause search feature turned up little on this except in forums for some other device (dont remember which). i dont feel their issues was mine. thanks in advance.
edit: decided to go ahead with the RUU, felt sure that would work. well it didnt. phone boots up and runs just fine with my stock ROM. no way of flashing mods, no custom ROMs, cant clear cash, mount emmc, something has to give or i will be having to trade phones sooner than later.
So now that you ruu'ed you flashed cw again and it still wont let you clear or flash anything?

Correct. I did the ruu. Ran revoked, booted into recovery(which was the old 2.?.?, which had the same issues as before this ever happened. Saw somewhere about a freak error that has happened when attempting to flash ROMs that somehow deletes the main factory partitions. Kinda sounded like mine. But I can not mount, data, cache, SD card, emmc, datadata. I can mount system tho, which does no good. Bootloader sees SD card files so I don't have a issue with corrupt card. I am on stock now which is rooted but nothing is working right cause whatever is going on is infecting it across the board. Apps say installed but don't, not getting messages but can call. Very strange. I know I am too spoiled to live with this tho. Lol.
bump. cant believe nobody has even a suggestion.

What version of hboot are you on?
Have you tried flashing the newest clockwork thru hboot?
When you ruued did you use the PB31IMG.zip method or the exe pc method?
From what i understand your phone does boot but then things dont work right. You say that you cant mount anything but system, but that is only in recovery right? Obviously those partitions are being mounted when booting otherwise it wouldnt boot, so your partitions are probably fine. I would try flashing the latest cw thru hboot, and then see if you can mount and wipe the partitions. If that still dosent work i would then try flashing amon ra recovery thru hboot and see if the wipe and mount options work there.

i am hboot .92. i cant remember for sure what method i used for the RUU but i am abou to try both methods again to be sure no changes depending on which is used.
yes it will boot but only with the stock rom. using file explorers i cant see any contents of data (except lost & found folder), nothing under emmc, datadata, etc. the sd card wont mount in recovery (along with anything else) but will recognize in hboot. cache wont even mount. i had entertained the idea that since different partitions were saying cant mount, it may explain the reason the things arent running just right. i sure shouldnt see barely usable performance on a stock rooted ROM. i have got to figure this out cause new device isnt possible at the time and i cant pay a bill for this thing.
EDIT: i have also swapped over to amon RA recovery with the same results so its not a CWM issue.
just did the PB31IMG RUU. booted as normal (obviously didnt try many functions), ran unrevoked and when it booted into recovery i got the following automatically.
E:Cant mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p2
(file exists)
E:Cant mount CACHE:recovery/command
E:Cant mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p2
(file exists)
E:Cant mount CACHE:recovery/log
E:Cant mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p2
(file exists)
this is just a message right out of the gate. going into mounts will not allow any of these items to be mounted. if attempting to mount CACHE simple "error mounting cache" appears.
system will mount
data shows mounted (but not datadata)
sd card mounting error give the following
E:Cant mount /dev/block/mmcblk1p1 (or /dev/block/mmcblk1)
(no such file or directory)
error mounting sd card
i will attempt to run the RUU with the exe but dont expect different results. any thoughts would be great at this point cause i am all out.
no changes regardless of which method of applying RUU is used.
I got your message bud, buy unfortunately i don't have good news for you... Ive had the same thing happen to 2 of my dincs and it is a hardware problem. The only thing you can do is send it in for a refurb or insurance... Good thing is you can run the the stock ruu in the mean time but fixing it isn't going to happen... Sorry man wish I had better news for you good luck

Try going to page 3 as that's when your error starts.
Alternatively, let's try it this way first.
1. Go into recovery,use adb shell to shell into your phone.
2. Type parted /dev/block/mmcblk0
3. Type print.
4. Post output.
It should look like below:
Code:

Let me know from there so we can proceed.

i will get this soon as i can steal the laptop charger back from my oldest girl. something i believe got jacked up on my desktop in the path environment so i have never been able to run ADB. guess it will be a long night of learning something new. thanks alot. verizon isnt willing to send me another device, already had 2 without an warranty. which is stupid to void my warranty over a account change only.
bad time of year for things to break.

from the standpoint of someone far less knowledgeable than i would like to be,,,,,,,,,,,,it appears i have some things missing.
can someone please offer any idea why when doing a push of six files, five show up and one wont regardless of how many attempts. i have also went ahead and done a ruu and fresh root before i started the process of attempting the fix the partitions via the link in this thread. any opinions will be great.
excuse me for bringing this back from the dead but hoping possibly that at this point somebody can shed some additional light on the subject. in desperate need of getting this device running for the wife. where i stand currently is:
*the device is rooted but does not seem to have busy box installed.
*when sd card is inserted it immediately notifies that sd card is safe for removal (can not be mounted thru system menu either)
*in SD and storage info device does not recognize that there is internal memory available either.
all i am need of making this thing do basic functions. as of now files have no where to save (even temps) in order to update or almost anything productive useful. space is not even available to save contacts. this thread above includes all that i have attempted and the outcomes thus far. i would so very appreciative for any and all advice.
thanks in advance

I've spent several years lurking on XDA and have always been able to find answers without having to ask questions. I guess my time is up because I'm hitting a wall finally. And I apologize in advance if this is the wrong place to put the question - its just that I have the Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4 and I haven't found any conversations that were generic enough to try and fix the issues I've got. So without further adieu:
Stats: Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4 - ROOTED, with CyanogenMod 12 installed. TWRM as my recovery. 64GB SD card partitioned into 40gigs of FAT32 for general storage, 20gigs of ext2 for use with Linux Deploy, and about a Gig leftover for swap if such a thing is even possible,
The 40 gig partition of the memory stick is auto-mounted by the OS and is totally usable.
The 20 gig partition I cannot get to mount on any folder even when creating an empty folder myself and trying to mount it by hand.
What I want to do is use Linux Deploy to create a Linux system in the 20gig partition of the card but no matter what options I've tried I can't seem to make it work. The Linux Deploy status indicates that it can see /dev/block/mmcblk1p2 which is the Linux partition but when I set that as the target for install I get an error indicating it cant mount the partition - the message says to hit 'stop' and try again, when I do that I get the following:
Making file system (ext4) .. ext2fs_check_if_mount: can't check if filesystem is mounted due to missing mtab file while trying to determine whether /dev/block/mmcblk1p2 is mounted. /dev/block/mmcblk1p2: Device or resource busy while setting up the superblock
fail
<<< end: install
I'm not sure what to do about this. If it were a plain Linux box I'd just go to the fstab and add the partition directly but I don't see where anything like that is on android.
Has anyone had experience with this? I'd really appreciate the help.
Thanks in advance for any info you can give
