Trying to install RCHDMIX but when trying to mount SD-EXT get an error.
When I tried to mount it in RA Mon Recovery I got an error message saying "E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 (or /dev/block/mmcblk0) (No such device) I have tried several cards but all the same.
I have tried the adb method - fastboot oem enableqxdm 0
Still nothing.
Please help!
Thanks!
Do you have an ext partition on your sd card? If not use amon ra to create one

yep has a partition. First one is fat32 the other is ext3 created with amonra
I think your ext partition has some problems.
You may try to backup and reformat it using lunux.
I've created a ~500mb ext2 partition on my sdcard on redux custom rom 1.0.2 on htc desire. However, Link2sd doesn't seem to like this partition (complains that it can't mount and can't write a script to automount at boot), but then I read that redux comes with something installed already. However, it doesn't seem to be using the partition properly.
Mount shows up thus:
#mount
...
/dev/block/mmcblk0p2 on /sd-ext type ext2 (rw,noatime,nodiratime,barrier=1,data=ordered)
...
Any suggestions about what I need to do to get this partition used as part of the system storage?
Thanks in advance.
Try ext3 / ext4.
AFAIK ext2 is no longer supported in the scripts.
According to EASEUS partition Manager this partition is already ext3, but according to my mount command above it's ext2 - now I'm really confused. . Any other suggestions?
Hi there,
I do have similar problems.
After flashing latest Redux2 Rom, my Desire refuses to mount my SD-Card. I'm not able to see it in the Settings, nor am i able to flash or Restore anything from it in Recovery mode.
After trying going to "Flash zip from sdcard" i get the Error:
E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 (or /dev/block/mmcblk0)
(No sich file or direktory)
E:Can't mount SDCARD:
I already tried the SD-Card in another phone and it's working proberly. I Already formated it on the other phone and tried formating it in Recovery.
As a result i'm also unable to reRoot it with unRevoked as the Phone won't go into USB mode...
Any suggestions how i might fix this problem?

Use the search. Problem got solved very often.
I flashed a Leedroid 3.0 and it was just stuck in the boot screen. So tried to clear data and all thru recovery and i got this error "can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 (File exists) error mounting /sd-ext/!.
I downloaded gparted to repartition my 8gb sd card. I did a ext3 partition. When i plug back the sd card, the error still comes out in recovery mode. Any rom i flash gets stuck in Bootscreen still. I tried partitioning my 4gb sd card but it also gave the same error in the recovery.
please help. Been trying the whole day and still nothing is happening
Have you tried partitioning it through recovery? (If you have that option available)
I'd begin with reflashing a cwm recovery, cause maybe the problem is not your sd. In "mounts and storage" did you try to mount/amount sd-ext ?

I cant also mount/unmount sd ext. It says the same thing. can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 (File exists) error mounting /sd-ext/!. should i just buy a fresh new memory card?
What exactly is your recovery ?
Sent from my Desire using LeeDrOiD 2.4.1
flash clockworkmod recovery 2.5.0.7 . Im using a sd card now without partition. It seems to work with the rom. Using Leedroid 2.4.1 . If i use the original SD card and reboot it with it, its just stuck in HTC boot screen.
So you should just use parted again with your stock sd to make it work ...

Common error when card is not partitioned or wrongly partitioned. First make Fat, then make EXT.

Thanks man. I was able to repartition. I made a wrong partition in gparted. Made a fat32 primary then the second one extended partition. From your post i made it primary also the second one. Now my rom reads the sd card. Thanks again.
Hmmm I had this exact same problem with LeeDroid 3.0.2... Trying to flash without wiping, had about 80 apps on my EXT3 partition... Got stuck on the white HTC screen for about 2 hours, gave up, pulled the battery, tried to flash the alignment zip, still stuck... tried to restore nandroid backup but then started getting this same error as you.
Thankfully was able to rescue all files from my SD card, format and partition again, then flashed LeeDroid 3.0.2 and restored a Titanium backup... everything running smoothly again! Phew...

May I ask how did you manage to do that?
EDIT:
Ok. Apart from the backup/restore issues that depend on having a healthy ext partition as I figure, the "can't mount [..] error mounting /sd-ext/!" problem is responsible for the "green HTC logo on the white screen freeze" also. So I've been trying to make it work all evening and this is what I found:
The Error (at least in my case) and the freaking "green HTC logo" freezez were generated because the Ext partition got corrupted in some bizarre and mysterious way. I have no idea how that could have happened, but I guess a small role in this ballet got played by the ROM itself and maybe even the nandroid backup built into the CWM (ClockWorkMod). It started right after I finished installing a fresh copy of the LeeDroid 2.4.1 and all my favourite apps (which worked flawlessly), rebooted into bootloader > CWM > nandroid and made the full backup of the system. Rebooting the device afterwards got me into the above mentioned freeze.
I tried many things, among which were flashing different ROMs and Radio images (without wiping though), but none worked. I just wanted to roll back to the previous state (because i've spent quite some time configuring and installing the 2.4.1) and it seemed impossible at that point. Browsing the recovery options got me into the Mount and storage section where I noticed the listed error with the ext partition. I thought maybe formatting will help - well, it didn't. After a couple of weird things I had tried, I've decided I should delete the ext partition (leaving just the fat32 intact). Creating a new ext partition from scratch seemed to solve the error. However this didn't solve the freezing. And the reason had to be the fact that when it created the nandroid backup images, the ext was already corrupt (or however unreadable), so the relative image was not written because it didn't see the source.
I doubt there is any way to fully restore my previously installed ROM with all of it's apps in place and in a functioning order, because the ext partition had data on it and now it's missing (hence the freeze).
Therefore the question: what could have gone so badly wrong to compromise the ext partition?
And another one: is the LeeDroid 2.4.1 ROM or the 2.5.0.7 ClockworkMod Recovery the culprit?
Sorry for the looong post. I look further to hearing from Lee, if his busy schedule allows it and thank him in advance.
Cheers!

hi! having the same exact problem right now... could you please help me how did you rescue all of your sd-card and sd-ext partitions? Thank you very much!
same problem on my N1, reparition to resolved
hi..
i got this problem too
i have clockworkmod recovery. pvt4.
cyanogenmod 7.1.
didn't make any partitions,
everything is by default as i got with cyanogenmod
s-on.
sd - 8gb, class2
yesterday my desire freezed.so i had to pull out the battery. but i couldn't turn it on till' i didn't wipe cache and dalvik cache.
When i selected wipe dalvik cache i got this
E: can't mount /dev/ block/mmcblk0p2
(file exists)
but it wiped it and my phone worked.
this appears even without sd card
it freezed after a week again but after a couple of reboots it works again but the error still exists.
i am newbie so i don't know what to do?
So I flashed a ROM which stuffed up my partitions somehow (also became S-ON, WTH?!).
I got 'can't open /dev/block/mmcblk0 (or /dev/block/mmcblk0p1) (invalid argument)' when trying to mount /sdcard.
I also got the aforementioned 'can't open /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 (file exists)' when trying to mount /sd-ext.
After literally 16 hours of head banging, I realised when I partitioned the SD card again that they were logical instead of primary. Partitioned using minitool partition wizard home edition.
Rundown:
I'm using LeeDroid v3.3.3 with clockworkmod recovery 2.5.0.7
Make sure you partition FAT32 first as primary, then ext3 as primary. LeeDroid says to partition ext3 1GB after FAT32, so e.g. my SD card is 16GB, I have ~13.8GB FAT32 | 1GB ext3
This fixed the 'can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0' error, /sdcard is mountable.
You can now run .zip files from recovery (yay!). Throw alignment_ext3.zip on there and run it. You should now be able to mount /sd-ext.
Do a full wipe + Dalvik cache wipe (to test /sd-ext accessibility). For me it was back to normal and I'm currently doing a restore.
Always do a backup.
my phone is running on Leedroid 2.3.3 custom roms. I have just formatted my sdcard with FAT32 partition and i can't apply sdcard:update.zip
E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1
E:Can't find /sdcard/update.zip
Installation aborted.
but I did have an update.zip in my sdcard. And now when I start my phone, it just keep restarting after Leedroid's startup
anyone care to help? thanks a million
Well, I would say if you just formatted your sd card, you might need to make it a "gold card" again. Just a guess.
Also, does Leedroid require that you have certain partitions on your sd card?
You can also try this command to re-enable your sd card if you have fastboot:
Code:
fastboot oem enable qxdm 0
Hi there,
I was about to flash a new rom on my Dinc, and right after I formatted /system, the sdcard became unable to mount and now I can't access the .zip for the new rom. I've tried flashing 3 versions of CWM as well as one of TWRP but none of them can access my SD card. I also reformatted it in my PC with no success. I currently don't have any operating system on it so all I can work with is hboot and recovery.
Can anyone help me fix this?

Did you format it fat32 with the pc? If the cards fine (can be used by pc and fat32) and recovery and hboot still cant find it, then id venture to say the sdcard slot is damaged or went out.
Using adb in recovery, you should be able to push a rom file to emmc and flash it from there.

I did format it FAT32, and the SD card is definitely fine. I don't think that the slot is the problem either because other things won't mount either.
Actually the only thing I can mount in recovery is /system, everything else is inaccessible. It was having mounting problems before which is why I decided to flash it with a new rom (was running Jellybean very poorly). I also tried flashing the original recovery, doing "clear storage" that way, and reflashing with CWM but it had no effect. During the storage wipe it said that /datadata doesn't even exist. It also shows errors that it can't mount the files /dev/block/mmcblk01 and /dev/blk/mmcblk0p2
This is what the log shows when I did the CLEAR STORAGE using the stock recovery
Restore factory NV setting...
Formatting DATA:...
E: format_root_device: can't find mtd partition "datadata"
Formatting EMMC:...
Formatting CACHE:...
Wipe ALL failed.
E:Can't mount DATADATA:recovery/log
E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 (or /dev/block/mmcblk1)
(No such file or directory)
The same thing happened to me long back. What I did was that I cleared data, cache, and dalvik cache... Worked for me... You can try but i wont take any responsibility
