Hey guys, today morning i got a problem with my desire. the screen was black and there was no possibility to turn it on.
I restarted my desire and got stuck in boot loop.
So I wanted to restore my backup but everytime the recovery tries to mount the sd card it says "E:can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1"
and "E:can't find /sdcard/update.zip"
I also tried to mount my sdcard with a cardreader but neither windows 7 nor XP recognize my sd card.
So is it possible that my card is broken, if so that wouldn't be as bad as having a broken phone.
I would apreciate any help!
Thank you
I had this same problem after I tried to answer a call my phone reset and went into a boot loop, I went into recovery which seemed really slow for some reason and the phone would not see the memory card, so I removed battery and left the phone off for ten min's and then tried again and all was well again.
unfortunitely, even after half an hour without battery, it keeps on saying can't mount /dev/block
I guess my sdcard is broken, could that be?
Does it say "Invalid Argument"? If you have a linux system, try and format/overwrite the card (using dd if you can) and you'll see a "short write" error - your card is broken unfortunately. Mine did the same only this weekend
I too have the same problem, but I think mine is way worst!!
I've tried with 2 different sd cards, and I still get the "E:can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1" and "E:can't find /sdcard/update.zip" error.
If anyone knows a solution...
I just bought a new sdcard...and after doing the whole rooting process again, it works fine! so my problem was probably a broken sdcard. I just wonder how that could happen...didn't touch anything.
Thank you guys
I hope for everyone who has the same problem that a new sdcard fixes the problem
I think it was just age. The one that failed a few days ago for me, was over a year old (I would have thought it should last longer than that).
I know this is an old post, but I had issues with this today and I managed to solve it, I just want to share what I've done, it may be useful for somebody.
I formatted my SD with a 1gb ext4 partition and 7gb fat 32 partition. I put everything back to the fat32 partition but my rom didn't boot up, so I tried to enter recovery and I got the can't mount sd card error.
I just deleted my partition and created a whole fat32 partition, no ext. After that I could use the update.zip with no issues. Updated my ROM, used ROM manager to create the ext partition and now everything is fine.
edit: I'm not sure, but maybe you need to label the partition as sdcard.

I've got a rooted droid Incredible that I tried to flash a rom or two with last night. CYanogenmod 6.0.2 continuously crashed due to the email app crashing. So I installed shadow rom .1 and everything was going well until I did something stupid. I formatted my sd card bc I wanted to get rid of old apps/data/music and start over. This seems to have wiped out the .zip files for the roms that were running the os as well (in retrospect, no big surprise). So now, I can boot into recovery mode but the sd card isn't recognized (and it isnt recognizable with a card reader on my mac) so it cant find a rom .zip to boot off of. I have another sd card and that one as well is unrecognizable in the phone. Any help is appreciated!
In clockwork recovery I get:
E: Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk1p1 (no such file or directory)
ERROR mounting sd card:!

I'm assuming the second one is recognized on your Mac. Try formatting it to FAT32.

Yup, I've had this problem too. It's a flaw with Android. It won't recognize your card because there's nothing ON it.
The only way I solved the problem was by:
1. Putting the microSD into an SD adapter.
2. Put SD card / microSD into a camera.
3. Power camera on.
4. Have camera format the card, and take a picture.
5. Power camera off and remove microSD.
6. Insert microSD back into phone.
7. Format from recovery.
Funny how a camera can solve a problem a computer and "smartphone" can't xD
First: Yes I've looked at other threads my problem is slightly different and, yes it is my fault for trying stuff beyond my level of skill but I know XDA members are helpful so I'm trying my luck.
Problem: I rooted the device (HTC Desire) and was running LeeDrOiD V2.2 until I came across the new senseHD ROMs for the HTC Desire and this is where the problems started. In short, I tried to upgrade to the SenseHD ROM and in the process wiped my SD and phone memory. the device can still boot into recovery but it gets the following message when trying to access the SD;
E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p0 (or /dev/block/mmcblk0p1)
(Invalid argument)
E:Can't mount /sdcard
The card is 2GB and reads fine on my windows machine. I've tried formatting and placing ETX3 and ETX2 partitions, I've also tried just copying all the old data that was on the SD before I started playing but the device just hangs with a black screen reading "android". The trouble is that all the solutions I have come across for similar problems are solved from "inside" the ROM either through ROM manager or by changing settings. Obviously these are not options for me.
I would like to install the senseHD ROM (RCMixHD v0.11) (or anything at this point) so please could you help to fix this and have a working phone again.
please please please help out if you can, I'll be eternally grateful for any advice.
many thanks in advance!
SOLUTION
I managed to fix it in the end. I got a hold of another SD card from a friend, put a ROM on it and booted up the phone. Made sure the phone could boot up without the borrowed SD card. Then I took the original SD card and deleted all the partitions (DID NOT FORMAT) in windows using (MiniTool Partition Wizard) placed it back in the phone and booted up using the ROM that had just been installed.
In the phone settings go to Phone and SD storage, mount the SD card (don know why it manages to mount here) and then format it.
Now the SD card is fixed!
You could try repartitioning the sdcard from recovery.
good luck.
I had the same problem. I needed to update my version of Clockwork Recovery. I used the ROM Manager to install the latest version. Now its working for me.

I'm also in the same boat and the fastboot command to re-enable the SD card didn't work for me.
I used to make backups before with amon-ra-recovery 2.0.0 and everything was great, I could restore everytime I wanted and I didn't have any issues.
Suddenly, since some time, things started to go wrong. Not a single nandroid backup I do is working, they all get corrupted immediately and I get that "error, run nandroid via adb" or something similar, error, you probably know it. The md5 is corrupted on most of the .img files and even if I change them to be correct, I manage to go through the entire restore process, but the system is whacked, it either goes into bootloop, either it boots fine but sd-ext is gone and all the screens are empty like I never had any widgets or app shortcuts on them, and sometimes I'm lucky and I have only some minor bugs which are fixed by reflashing the ROM without wiping anything.
I can't remember if this happend since I updated to ra recovery 2.0.1 (I am now back to 2.0.0) or since I changed the SD card into a class 6 one. The partition is 1gb ext4, it is done properly (I repartitioned with ra recovery 2.0.1 a few weeks ago and still problems, the previous partition was made by g-parted), SD seems to be working well, I really have no idea what is causing this.
I am willing to try clockwork mod recovery today, can anyone provide a source for their latest version please? I can't find anything on google except for some old threads.
which card are u using ?
The new one. 8gb class 6, I don't see what difference does it make...
I am now getting a problem that I also had before I repartitioned the SD card last time, after doing a nandroid backup today, now I am getting an error telling me that card is read-only. I can't mount it to PC (I mean i can have disk drive on phone but when trying to open it from PC it says its not found). Last time I had this problem I couldn't delete sd-ext.rar from the nandroid backup folder, it said it was corrupted and I couldn't do anything, just like now. Can't connect to PC, can't unmount the SD from phone and on available space it says read-only, that is the problem, how can I solve this? I'm really not in the mood to repartition all over, is the card broken?
Edit: I am now going to report a problem that I've only had on this SD card so far, never on the old one that comes with the phone. So I rebooted the phone and now the sd-ext isn't recognized on the phone, apps that were installed on it don't show up in app-drawer and some widgets that were also on sd-ext don't display on the screen, says problem loading widget. I had this problem once in a while with most of the ROMs I tried, ever since I switched to this card (i think it happened in the 1st day this card arrived). When I reboot the phone (either I normally reboot it or the battery dies), sometimes this thing pops up. It doesn't say any errors, its just that the ext partition isn't recognized, but the fat32 is ok, I can access the SD card's content via root explorer for example and I can even mount it to the PC and explore it from the notebook, but ext partition isn't recognized.
Like I said, this is only on this new card, doesn't happen to the old one, and it happened even in the 1st day it came and was inserted in the phone. I also repartitioned it and same problem, both times did it correctly exactly as I did with the old card and everything was ok on that one.
The exact problem is "mounted read-only - the sd card has an unexpected problem. Tapping...(can't read any further cause it doesn't fit entirely in the notification bar)". It happens when I try to do a complete titanium backup (for all system data+user apps).
Common any opinions? Im really worried.
So i've done a nandroid backup with clockwork mod 2.5.0.7 and its corrupted as well. Just after it finished the backup, I mounted in usb mass storage mode and went to check the md5 images, they are corrupted. I'm going to make a final repartition today with g-parted, and if it's not gonna work then I will probably switch to my old class 2 card that came with the phone, I'm only dissapointed that I cannot prove this SD card I recently got is broken, the fat32 is working but sd-ext has problems, they probably won't believe this and won't replace it
Hi
I am having trouble with my SD Card on HTC Desire. The whole problem started this morning, so let me walk you through the whole thing:
I installed CM7 nightly # 24 last night. My phone was working absolutely fine before that. It was late so I just set ROM Manager to make a backup and install the new ROM, and went to bed. When I woke up, it had installed and was working fine. Then I dunno for what reason I had to restart my phone. And when I did, all hell broke loose!
The phone rebooted and gave the error message that there is a blank memory card in the phone!!! I restarted the phone a few more times, took out the card and cleaned it, everything, but it just won't recognize it. I went into recovery and mounted the SD card to connect to computer. But the windows (win7 x64) gave error message that the card has an unrecognized or corrupted file system. Since the only backup I had was on SD card itself, I realized that I was officially screwed.
So I formatted the card in the windows. And now it was showing the full 7.37GB size of the card. Meaning it had also somehow removed the 512MB sd-ext partition I had on it as well. But I said fine, no issues. I can reinstall all the apps and settings etc.
So I installed the CM7 RC2 just to be safe, and went into ROM Manager to make the ext partition. I set it to 512MB, swap size 0MB, and the phone restarted into recovery. It started the partition, but only after 3 or so seconds, it rebooted. I checked, but it hadn't partitioned the card! Weird...
I figured maybe there is a problem with the format Windows did, so I formatted the card once again from recovery. Just to be safe, I wiped everything and reinstalled CM7 RC2. But again, no luck with partitioning. Installed Nightly # 23 to get the latest patches and all, but again no luck.
Now I made a GParted USB boot drive, and tried partitioning with it. But GParted also wont partition it. There was this attention symbol next to the drive. I double clicked the drive and it showed this error in the next window. I took a picture of it from a friend's phone, attached below.
I also took a snapshot from within gparted, but it saved it at some /home/something location and I cannot find it. So if the attached image is not clear enough, or if you know where to look for that snapshot, please let me know and I'll post that. Its not in the boot USB drive or SD Card, and its not in my C: drive either.
I would really appreciate if someone could tell me what the hell is going on with my SD card, and how to fix it. Its a Class 2 card, about 6 months old, and I really hope it isn't dead.
Seriously? No one??
Use the recovery and not Rom Manager or use Gparted of something like Easeus.
I use partition wizard on the computer for partitioning

Hy all,
First, excuse my english, I'm french.
This morning I was on call and suddently, it stopped and my phone freezes. I had to remove the battery.
But know, I'm unable to boot again.
Since I decided to remove the bootlogo, I don't know if it's right after the HTC screen or while booting (I knew it was a bad idea...)
Finally, after some tries, I've been able to access hboot and recovery. But recovery took 46 secs to boot and said "Unable to mount SD card" or something like that. I tried on my computer and the SD card can be accessed.
So, I would like to know if someone had the same issue or if someone can help.
Thx!
Infos :
DHD running CodefireX SR19 and latest radio. No other sign since the release of SR19 some weeks ago.
sounds like you need to reformat SD card on computer. But first copy 4ext folder to computer then format SD. After format SD place 4ext folder back on SD then remount SD to phone see if that helps. You may have to full wipe and reflash rom when you enter recover do to apps moved to SD will no longer be there but may show in rom and when you try to open they will force close.
