Okay, my son has an HTC Desire 2.2 from 3 out of the box. I have put in a 16gb sdcard and made it a gold card. I have rooted it but when I try to load LeeDroid ROM on or any ROM for that matter I am unable to do so. It happens if I use either ROM Manager or from booting. I get the message that says
Clockwork Mod Recovery v2.5.0.7
E:Can't find MISC:
E:Can't mount CACHE:recovery/command
E:Can't find MISC:
E:Can't mount CACHE:recovery/log
E:Can't find MISC:
Any help appreciated. Easy step by step guide would be helpful.
I had the same issue, its rather simple how i got around it.
1. I went into rom manager
2. Selected "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery"
3. It detected the phone as an HTC Desire
After this i was able to flash custom roms, i dont know why my phone did this, i couldnt believe that this solved my issue either but it did.
Hope this works for you!
Thanks
Thanks for the reply. If only it was that simple. I have tried that a few times and it didn't work for me. It says the recovery has been successful but it didn't fix the problem.
OK, well firstly what did you use to root the phone? Was it branded? hboot? radio?
Secondly are you trying to install roms with a2sd? In that case have you partitioned your sd card yet?
If all else fails it might be worth it to run a signed RUU to unroot back to stock (You might need a gold card, thats why i asked if your phone is branded) and from there start the process again ...
Thanks for the reply. I used unrevoked to root the phone using this link http://theunlockr.com/2010/09/20/how-to-root-the-htc-desire-unrevoked-method/
It was simple and I managed to do everything it said, including downloading the different drivers.
It is a branded phone with three.
I am trying to install LeeDroid with A2sd but I can't partition the sdcard either because of this problem.
I am looking into flashing an .img file and then trying again. What do you think?
You could install the amon ra recovery. Then you can partition easily. And you should flash a zip file for starters, not an img file
Ah, didn't see this last reply. I have installed amonRA recovery and it worked fine. I have now installed LeeDroid ROM and will partition the sdcard using ROM Manager.
Thanks for everyone's help.

BUMP: I'm having the same problem, used gparted to repartition sdcard which allowed me to Mount USB storage. When i try to mount /sdcard card i receive
Code:
E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk1p1 (or /dev/block/mmcblk1)
(Invalid argument)
Error mounting SDCARD:!
Are you using setcpu? I had same message the other day when in clockwork. I had an idea to try to set speed back to stock and unchecked set on boot, rebooted in to clockwork and all was well. Not sure if the clockspeed and and set on boot has anything to do with it, but I had a feeling that it messed with backup/restore when writing/reading a custom speed specified to boot with. Anyway it worked for me on virtuous with 7.28 radio and kings bfs 5
Had the same issue... Formatted the SD card (using the phone, under settings/sd card) and it never happened again.

to follow this up, i was experiancing similar problems
like an idiot i ejected the SD card with the power on (bad idea) and had to format it
the card worked fine under my rom (miui) but when i booted into clockwork mod v4.something
i unmounted the SD card in the phone options and formatted it, after re mounting it the phone gave me a notification that the SD card was an unsupported format
so what i did was click that notification and format the card again
i booted into recovery and it worked, i hope this helps someone in the future

So why are you posting in a Forum devoted to the HTC Droid Incredible?
Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk error
I received a replacement Dinc from Verizon under the extended warranty. My problem is that the new phone won't backup or restore under CWM. I get a notice that "E: Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblkp1p (or mmcblk)
My old phone was rooted with the 2.3.4 version 4.06 GB stock rooted ROM. I made a nandroid backup with CWM recovery 5.0.0.6. So far all is good. The replacement phone with amoled screen came with GB 2.3.4. (unrooted and s-on.) Following the directions in Droid Forums I downgraded to 2.2, rooted using unrevoked3, turned s-off with unrevoked forever and reinstalled 2.3.4 version 4.06. All files found from links of XDA. (THANKS to all for the great instructions and files.)
But now on the new phone the nandroid backup and recovery from CWM won't work as I get the above error. II read that the sd card needs to be reformatted but when I put it back in the old phone, CWM works well without the error. Any suggestions?

I would first try to format your sdcard fat32, but dont put any of the old files back on yet. Then with the blank sdcard inserted try to run a backup and see if it works. If not try reflashing cwm thru hboot. Also make sure you have superuser and busybox installed. mmcbkk0p1 is the data partition, see if you can manually mount it thru recovery in the mounts and storage menu.

Its mmcblk1p1 he said. That isn't the data partition . I think it is sdcard. I think an sdcard format will do the trick.

very wierd
Okay so i gave up half way in my attempt to get the data2sd and its seriously messed up my phone! I cant boot, and in recovery cant flash anything or mount anything as it says;
E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 (or /dev/block/mmcblk0)
This means i cant restore my nandroid or do anything!
Ive tried flashing an RUU without success!
Any ideas?
I can access recovery, but thats about it!
It says it can't mount your sdcard...try formatting it.
Backup your nand backups from it first.
Might be worth using a PB99IMG.zip from an RUU to go back to stock and then try again
Is your recovery a permanent flash(unrevoked) or a temporary flash? If its a permanent flash, turn off your phone. Take out your SD Card and format it in a computer(FAT32), then it should be able to mount it. Then flash a ROM, get unrevoked again and flash Amon Ra's recovery. In there partition your SD Card(Its the easiest method IMO) and install a ROM with data2SD(Or install d2sd yourself, its very easy).
ive tried a different sd card so i dont think its that, im gonna try the PB99IMG thing..... do i just but it on the sd card and it will run from bootloader?
Yep, put it on the root of the SD card and turn on into HBOOT and it'll find the file and ask if you want to continue
I flashed it but not i just get a boot loop, i can access recovery but i cant apply update zip, i get the same error message.
Any ideas?!
So the PB99IMG.zip flashed - you don't do it through recovery, obviously - and now you're on a boot loop or just stuck at the HTC screen?
yeah pretty much, thing im gonna give cos i have insurance and get a new one! Thanks though!

Looks like you can't mount your SDcard? Fix it with the fastboot command described there.
Good luck!
I have rooting problem with my HTC Desire. I tried couple of tutorials to root my Desire.
I cant give te link but one of the thread was:Root Your Phone With UnrEVOked!
The Root My Droid Ultimate Guide to Rooting With UnrEVOked) all of them were with unrevoked). It worked to that part when I rebooted and saw that in my apps list was that Superuser logo, but thats about it.
Because when I tryed to do backup (after reboot and hit - + power) it gives me an error:
clockworkmod recovery 2.5.0.7
E: Cant find MISC:
E: Cant mount CACHE:recovery/command
E: Cant find MISC
E: Cant mount CACHE:recovery/log
E: Cant find MISC
I did: Wipe Data / Factory Reset. Install zip from SD Card and then select Choose zip from SD Card (I tried to install update-oxygen-1.0.4-signed. zip): It gave me an error like:
asser failed: write_raw_image("/ tmp/boot.img","boot")
E:error in / sdcard/update-oxygen-1.0.4-signed. zip
(status 7)
Install aborted
All time when I reboot and do - and power then there flashes green text, and theres something no something or no boot or smth, it goes so fast that i cant even read it.
It seems like that it cant mount SD card ot something, but it can find files form there. Im out of ideas, I used XDA and google search, but nothing didnt help, I tried these rooting steps maybe 3 times but always were errors.
So I hope someone can help me or suggest what to do? (Sorry for my bad English)
Best regards
Did you partition your sd card?
No, should I? Theres wasnt anything written about partitioning sd card...
It is definitely said in the Oxygen ROM thread - if you want to use that ROM you need to have an ext partition on your SD card to make the a2sd script work.
Ok, but what about backup error?

If your phone is PVT4 S-ON, you should flash another clockworkmod (newer than 2.5.0.7) or make it S-OFF. I recall people had problem with 2.5.0.7 with S-ON.
If not, then still try to flash a new one (> 2.5.0.x) via unrEVOked.
Okay, I have understand now that I have PTV4-S-ON desire, and the main problem is that it cant use clockmond recovery, so should I use unrevoked (from file, i change recovery with amon-ra recovery) and then root again?
Or what should I do next?
I did and it worked, thanks.
Hello,
im in some big trouble.
I tried installing the new sense gingerbread rom.
It would not boot and i accidently formatted my sd card.
Now i cant boot the rom (loops at the android splash logo) and can no longer get into clockwork recovery.
All i can do is get into standard android system recovery.
if i use apply sdcard: update.zip i get the feeling it tries to go to clockwork
it says: e:cant mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 (invalid argument)
Is there a way to get this phone again...rooted or unrooted?
Please help me
Maybe to save yourself time you could just run an ruu and it will return you to stock. Then you just root again.

Hi guys,
I've just formatted my 2gb SD card for my HTC desire using MiniTool Partition Wizard Home Edition. I've made 450mb as FAT (primary) and the rest as ext4 (logical). For some reason, my rom (MIUI_Au-Desire-1.10.8) doesn't think there's an SD card in the phone. I've tried taking the card in and out, same thing.
I've since re-formatted it to Fat32 and ext4 with the same thing. It isn't showing up.
When I go into recovery and mount the USB there no USB storage comes up on my PC. When I try to select 'mount SD card' I get an error saying
Error mounting SDCARD:!
E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0 (or /dev/block/mmcblk0p1)
(invalid argument)
I've got clockworkMOD Recovery v2.5.0.7 and I've tried putting ext4recoveryupdater but when I've tried installing it through Androidflasher.exe it says I need an ENG Bootloader.
I'm completely stuck and don't know what to do. I started all this because I wanted to install Runny ROM v5.1 and Runnymede_AIO_V6.0.4.3_Special_Edition, but once I ran the aroma installer, it basically frooze at the boot logo. So I figured I needed a larger ext4 partition.
So yea, any help on this would be GREAT. I'm starring at this post for replies on where to start from scratch.
Thanks for reading,
Raddest
edit: oh yea, so the only way I can 'see' the SD card is when I select 'mount USB' from the recovery.
Are you s-off?
Have you followed the guides on here to get s-off?
Just when you say you got CWM is it installed or you've got the .img for androidflasher? As aroma wont work with a non touch based recovery.
4extrecoveryupdater should be a apk and cannot be flashed by androidflasher, its meant to be installed on a rooted s-off phone.
I recommend reading the guides again and getting s-off, then installing 4ext recovery updater to get the 4ext touch based recovery; and using that recovery to partition your SD card
Edit: sorry if you've got CWM installed then all you need to do is get a 4ext touch based recovery .img and flash it with android flasher. I remember that they're a bit harder to find on the website.
The error message is probably from you trying to flash a .apk instead of a .img file
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA
Yep, I'm currently working on getting S-Off as my phone's S-On.
I've used the ext4 apk, but when it downloads and tries to flash the recovery from my rom it doesn't work. No matter what. So when it doesn't work it stores 2012-03-15-22.03_recovery.img onto my SD card (when the SD card worked).
So now I think I should concentrate on getting s-off. If I get s-off. But how will I install ext4 from my rom if I can't load my SD card?
edit: formatted the whole card to primary fat32. So if I get s-off and run ext4recovery will it flash the recovery fine?
edit 2 (just read your edit) I've already used androidflasher to try and put that 4ext img as the recovery, it says I need an ENG bootloader (or HBOT I can't remember).
No, you also need to be rooted to install a recovery from the app.
So either get root, or push the .img file from androidflasher once it fails from the app. And is on the sd card transfer it to your pc.

Yep, I've already installed the .img from ext4, android flasher says I need an ENG bootloader.
Yeah just get s-off and you should be fine.

Cool thanks. I'm just looking to see if there's a simple way to get S-off.

Yep, trying it. Says it's incompatible with this version of HTC Sync
If all works remember to backup your current rom with 4ext before flashing

Ok, basically burnt Alpharev to a CD, booted from the CD and used that. I got S-off fine, no problems at all. After that, booted back into miui and flashed the recovery using ext4. From ext4 I partitioned my SD card to have 800mb FAT32 and the rest ext4. Installing Runny AIO. See how I go...
All good, with alpharev to thank mainly. Was really made easy.
