Last night I was trying to partition my sd card and it went wrong. The sd stopped working and after turning off the phone every time I turn the phone on it goes to fastboot. It got the clockworkmod as recovery and if I try to format the sd I get the message: cant mount /dev/block/mmcblk0 (or /dev/block/mmcblk0p1) . Is there anything I can do? Ps sorry if this post is poor im sending this from my wifes phone as my home internet is down too!
If your on froyo your SD Card need an ext3 partition to boot the phone
Use clockwork recovery to re partition.
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
use gparted to partition, just make sure that you have it in this order, fat32 then ext3 then swap(if you decide to use a swap)
I got a very similar problem and still can't solve it. I did partitioned the sd card with Rom manager and then went into recovery, tried to check if it was ex3 (because i read somewhere that rom manager partitions the sd card only with ex2), and then the **** was done. Every time I boot the device it goes into fastboot, so I can't even put some rom on the SD card and try to flash the mobile phone again :S
Any tips, help or whatever? Please.

Just ran into the weirdest of problems. I had a rooted desire with Latest Clockworkmod Recovery and Villainrom. I saw some roms that required i had AmonRa so i flashed that using unrevoked. I did'nt like amonra's recovery so i used rom manager to flash clockworkmod back. It wouldn't stick permenantly, i.e. on a hard boot it'd revert back to amon ra.
Today i did the same, then asked rom manager to backup the current rom. It rebooted, amonra applied the clockwordmod update... then clockworkmod recovery started.. then started backing up the rom, upon completion it just rebooted without asking and kept on rebooting on the HTC logo, did'nt go ahead from that. I took the battery out and then re inserted it.
What happened next is weird. I user wiped the phone (using amonra) it gave me an error
Formattting SDCARD:.android_secure...
E:Cant mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 (or /dev/block/mmcblk0)
(no such file or directory)
Error mounting /sdcard/.android_secure!
Skipping format...
Formatting CACHE:...
Skipping format of sd-ext
After this when the rom booted, the phone refused to recognise the sd card, and the charging light wouldn't turn on when i connected a usb cable OR the charger. I tried replacing another sd card that was working on my htc hero and it wasn't recognized either. I tried my orignal HTC Desire SD card (16 gb) in the hero and it showed a 14 gb unformatted partition on linux. when i tried mounting it , it mounted correctly. I immediately copied my data off the sdcard.
Please note that i had a 512 + 32 mb ext4/swap partition besides the rest of the fat32 partition which wasn't recognized in linux. After repartitioning the sd card i tried the sd card in the desire again but it's not working. Right now i can't mount or access any sd card in the desire, nor can i use adb to connect to the desire. I tried unrevoked to patch the clockworkmod recovery again but it doesn't recognise the phone at all. I'm thinking the rom is screwed up and i'm trying to patch another rom again on the phone but i can't since i can't access the sd card.
I'd also like to mention that using the amonra i tried repartitioning the sd card after this whole mess and it did'nt give me any error, so i'm thinking it did get to access the sd card.
Please any help would be appreaciated.
ok i just figured out that it's s-on on my phone now. So now i have a htc desire with amonRA recovery and S-on with Villainrom 1.0 installed on it. It's not showing usb debugging mode when i connect the data cable, nor is it accepting any sd card.
If possible can anyone tell me how i can :
1. Turn S-on without using usb debugging etc ?
2. Use unrevoked some other way
3. Unroot the phone to root it totally over again.
i had this problem the other day.
Check out this thread. worked for me. Read it through first so you know what your going to be doing.

THANKS ! I've finally got the sd card to be read but i'm wondering that post is for the legend, will that work on my desire ? i mean those image files etc ?
Thanks for the tip man, i googled the words (which i couldn't find to express my problem) i.e. bricked usb and found my solution for the desire here http://android.modaco.com/content/h...com/309939/usb-brick-rickrolled-b0rked-fixed/
Hello, tonight i tried some thing (i just wanted to change rom), but i made some mistakes... now i cannot boot my phone, it keeps rebooting. I have Leedroid ROM and it keeps rebooting after PC-boot like animation. The only thing i can access is the back button + power recovery. What can i do?
Thanks!
I have tried to wipe the cache and system, and solo deleted storage (hard reset)... but same point. I think that if i can put a update.zip on the sdcard i can flash it... but at the moment i don't have a sd card reader. Is the phone dead?
No your phone isnt dead
1. If you have a nandroid on your sd card just enter hboot and recover your system.
2. Otherwise you can perform an md5 check of the rom you downloaded and wish to flash. (just to make sure its not corrupted, i suppose your trying to flash leedroid) Enter hboot wipe everything >system wipe>cache>dalvic and then relash the rom. Oh and make sure your sd card is partitioned correctly ... a2sd, D2EXt ...
3. If problem persists go into hboot mount your phone as storage copy another rom you would like to try and then flash this, you can just follow the steps in no2 abouve again.
This should solve your problem!
The thing that i have done BAD is the format of the card... or better, i have done right things but i'm almost sure something was wrong. I formatted it from gparted, then created a 3GB FAT32 partition, and with the remaining space i created a ext4 partition. Then, i moved the files needed for the rom that i wanted to flash (MIUI) in the fat32 partition, as i seen that the ext4 part was mounted read only (dunno why).
IMPORTANT: I have done all this mounting the SD card via Clockwork recovery.
When i selected the voice "flash a zip selecting from memory card" (or something )... it said "cannot find a valid zip".
Then the only choice for me was to reboot and... that is
Now i cannot mount SD, as i don't have (at home) a SD card reader and i don't have access to CWM recovery.
Hi all!
As a last resort i'll be asking my question here.
I'm currently running the stock 2.2 rom with root access and clockworkmod recovery. I've had this setup for a long time now. Today i got my 8gb class6 card and i thought i'd change to a Desire HD rom for a change.
So far (5 hours into the process), i've only managed to what seemed the easyest: ..partition my sd card!
I currently have the following:
7gb fat32
1gb ext2
32mb swap
I have tried everything i could find but i simply cannot get this thing to upgrade to ext3 and then ext4. I do not have a card reader at hand so i'll have to do it within the phone.
The problems i'm facing after struggling for 2 hours to get parted working:
- no upgrade_fs script.
- tune2fs giving a unknown command error
I've been playing arround with this for about an hour when i switched to trying to install AmonRA recovery as i read this could upgrade your ext partition aswell. Problems i faced when trying to flash this were:
- unrevoked: internal error, unable to unlock nand.
- flash recovery app: error running command.
- flash_image commands: whole bunch of write errors and in the end a no space left error.
- rom manager: alternate recovery's greyed out, even after countless reinstalls and 'flash clockworkmod first' -tricks.
- fastboot: remote: vertification error.
- terminal app: flash_image not found.
And probably a bunch more i forgot..
I'm thinking of simply installing a RUU and do the whole rooting process again, and then installing amonra. For now i've recovered a clockworkmod backup i made and put back my old sdcard.
I hope there's someone that can help me!
Kind regards,
Jeroen
Use something like gparted or Easus or what ever it's called to partition the SD card.

Done this, but gparted only allows creation of ext2. The problem im having is upgrading it to ext3!
GParted allows to create all kind of EXT partition (including EXT3). Use the latest LIVE CD or USB version. I upgraded my EXT3 to 4 via GParted.

Oh i did not know that, i thought it only allowed up to ext2.
But dont you need a cardreader for that? Because i dont have one at hand right now
No, don't need a card reader. Best way is to boot into recovery and mount the SD Card. You can try via the Disk Drive option, but it gave me wrong readings (since the EXT partition was in use by the system), so not recommended.

Thank you!!!
I feel so stupid for struggling for hours yesterday. Only took me 5 minutes with GParted USB. Running the HD rom now!
I partitioned my SD with Amon Ra then selected ext2 to ext3, but it failed. When I moved the log to the SD card and read it on my PC it said there was no ext. I redid the partition, again with Amon Ra, then selected ext2 to ext3 and it worked. Just figured I'd let people know the ole try again method could work if you get here.

In a couple of weeks, you will be posting about ext not working properly.
Only partition your sd-card with 4ext recovery or Gparted.
I re-installed Leedroid as i was trying to get apps2sd working on an ext3 fromated sd card and upon reinstalling, it hung at the Telstra Splash screen for about 20 mins. I took the battery out and rebooted into bootloader where it displays that no image can be found on the sd card.
The computer detects the sd card however when i enter recovery mode to install zip from sd card, it displays "can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0.... can't mount /sdcard".
What do i do to completely erase everything and install Leedroid again ?
Backup your SD card, format FAT32 and ext3 then flash the rom again.
I copy+pasted everything to windows earlier when everything was working, but don't have anything on the sd card to back up now. I tried formating to fat32 but the bootloader still says the same thing about the sd card, therefore i can't flash the rom.
Anyone ? i'm out of ideas. I tried a different sd card but the phone still 'cant mount'.
seems you got problem with your partition on the sd card, use you recovery to rebuild you partition or gparted to do so...
googlise gparted live cd or more friendly virualbox or vmplayer to run a complete linux distri.
Did you partition your sd-card on this way:
http://leedroid.com/bravo-wiki/partitioning-your-sd-card-ready-for-a2sd
If not, do it, flash the rom again and all should work.
You could try the sd card enable command?
Code:
fastboot oem enable qxdm 0
