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.

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
Hi i have an HTC Desire running a custom rom. I had amon RA and yesterday i have flash Clockmod recovery through fastboot. After rebooting it keep up booting on the flash screen. I have formated my sd card and try to re-install a custom rom but i'm getting an error. E:can't mount/dev/block/mmcb1k0p1( No such file or directory.Error mounting SDCard! I am trying to mount the sdcard through clockmod but still the same error. i was thinking may be the card is not good. I bought another card but still the same. Pls can someone help me to sort that out.
My Desire is s-off with Hboot 0.93
Sounding like the SDcard is "deactivated". Maybe it's the usb-brick? Try a search for that. I think there was anything about reactivatIng SDcard...

Same probem here
Hi.
I juste encountered today the exact same problem : After a Nand back-up using CWM, I discovered that nothing had been written on the SD-Card.
Whan I tried to reboot, I entered into a boot loop.
Back in recovery, I had no mean to mount /sdcard or /sd-ext : I always get an error message "Can't mount ..."
I am S-OFF, Hboot 0.93.
Any help ?
can't mount sdcard
hi today i have bought another sd card. Formated and partition it using gparted. put the card on my phone et voila the phone boot normally and enter the OS. But the card problem is still there and i can access all the apps on the phone. setting is no longer available on the phone. Any idea how can we sort that as i can see a lot of people is encountering this issue. there is no one who can address this issue?
i have got a link to that forum and have try to follow the instructions but stuck on the first step. It says you must root your phone as mine is already rooted but may be we have to re-root it. While connecting my phone i'm getting found new hardware: Qualcomm cdma. I have search the net and downloaded and install activesyn but can't found the phone. I am unable to root it. Any suggestion?
Same problem here although I have a htc explorer. I continuously have to keep reinstalling my Rom and formatting my sd card. Its probably because of software bugs
is your phone say "sd card removed. please insert a new one"?
if yes, try to backup your data and format the SD card with CWM Recovery.
mine was back to normal after partitioned by CWM

Don't waste your money on sd cards. You should get an sd card adapter/reader to format your card using your computer. Sometimes the format option on mobiles do not function properly.

As long as your sd is readable by your computer, you should be able to mount your sd card using cwm recovery

Enable the SD Card functionality. Boot your phone in FASTBOOT mode (back + power), and enter this command: 'fastboot oem enableqxdm 0' . This will re-enable your SD card."
I have a CDMA Desire that would not read the sd card. I tried all the different tutorials I could find, but nothing worked. I finally ended up taking the phone apart, and there was a connection right beside the sd card slot that was partially disconnected. I reconnected that and everything works fine now.
Seems like connections disconnect fairly often with the desire (GPS, LED, SD card, etc..) so if nothing else works and you are comfortable taking your phone apart, you could try that.
Here is a video of how to disassemble the phone.

Hello everybody,
I bought the above micro sd card but the problem is when installed it i realised that the phone dont seem to be able to able to mount it...
what should i do ?
Is it formatted to Fat32?
The more important question is what message it shows when tried mount it.
I have had the same isue, only way for me was to use a RUU file

You can also try formatting it with Android.

I googled and found this on a other forum:
Code:
I get error mounting sdcard (no such file or directory) and unable to write to ums lunfile (no such file or directory)
Edit: I Solved the problem by rebooting into recovery using rom manager. Thanks.
It's interesting how can be people independent and resourceful if the really want to. Then why we have so many question threads are beyond my comprehension.

Of course i googled before asking this question..
The problem is... I boot into recovery but i cant mount my SD. I used other phones and the card is recognised normally
An alcatel one touch 908 and my previous HTC touch HD.
I'm running Leedroid 3.3.3 Data++ version which means i cant boot without an sd card becouse many things run from the sd-ext partition and of course since i cant mount the SD i cannot even flash again Leedroid or any other Rom.. so i cant simply reboot into recovery using Rom Manager.
But since u told me all this i'm going to simply install a clean CM7 nightly and try to reboot into recovery via rom manager..
USB brick. Search for solution.
My usb working flawlessly. Everything happening had to do only with this specific card

As far as I know unable to mount sdcard is part of USB brick.
i can mount any other sd card but this specific one.... and i try to find what's wrong here..
Fire up Android and format SD card with it.

Where the hell did you get that information? The fact that an SD card cannot be mounted is not in the least related to a USB brick, they are two totally seperate issues. You may find that on restoring SD card functionality that you then have a USB brick but it's not necessarily so and it cannot be ascertained without first fixing the SD card issue (and by the symptoms as described I highly doubt he has a USB brick).
To the OP, I would suggest that you copy everything from the SD card to your PC via an SD card reader. You can then either format it via G-Parted (Linux bootable disk) or via MiniDisk Partition Wizard. Copy everything back plus the rom of your choice.
You'll then need to flash the rom (assuming that your phone now 'sees' the SD card). You're going to lose everything that you installed, there's no way around this. The copy back and forth is to restore your music / photos and if you're lucky one or two of your apps may find an existing file of history to restore.
Please also report any messages the phone gives regarding the SD card and also try another SD card (if you have one) before you go the above route.
wierd things happening....
When i boot into recovery with power+vol down i cant mount my sd but if i do it through rom manager it works flawlessly... anyway i kept it this way. I installed a clean CM7 build formated my card and then all the things i do i do them via Rom manager...

what are the recoveries u talking about?
when u go in recovery with power+vol down u access the permanent recovery (what version?); while using rom manager u access another recovery version probably (as rom manager use fake flash, even if the latest version should use permanent flash)
sorry for being late answering..
both recoveries are 5.0.2.0
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.
