[Q] - Desire General

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 i am a noob and i downgraded from the crc1 to the rc29
and i get in the recovery menu E:Can't mount CACHE:recovery/log
i fallowed the http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=538456&highlight=crc1
and got to this part "If you are coming from another Apps2SD ROM. In order to guarantee you won't have any issues with the install you should remove all directories starting with "app" and the dalvik-cache directory on your /system/sd (ext2/ext3) partition. If you backed up your whole SDcard, this shouldn't be a huge issue. - Yes you'll have to reinstall your apps. You can try to skip this step, but if the install fails, rinse, wash, repeat and don't skip this step." and did not understand what i needed to do
i tried to complete the guide and now all that i have is the E:Can't mount CACHE:recovery/log and i cant load any update.zip.
i really dont know what to do pls help
To resolve this error, you must wipe in the recovery mode (Alt+w) and then try installing
thanks i did it and it worked, but now i have a different problem
when i try to mount the g1 the pc doesn't recognizes the phone, what should i do?

[Q] I can't load any ROM

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.

[Q] Problem with rooting & installing ROM!

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.

[Q]{FIXED!} E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 {FIXED!}

Hi all. Got a bit of a problem. I have been using InsertCoinGB S2.1 ROMs for a while now and went to flash v22 this morning. Decided I would also take the step of updating my CWM to 3.0.2.8, as well as ext3 alignment, at the same time.
So, steps taken were Nandroid backup, apply update.zip, flash alignment_ext3.zip, flash ROM. All seemed to go well, but got stuck at splash screen. Pulled battery and got back into Recovery, then tried to restore Nandroid...
Ended up with
E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p2
(File exists)
Error mounting /sd-ext/!
Skipping format...
E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p2
(File exists)
Error mounting /sd-ext/!
Help!! I am pretty sure I have stuffed my SD, but hopefully not the whole phone. I have an 8gig at home that I was using prior to current 16g...I might be able to swap that in, just means I will lose all data from past week, which is not so bad...
I have done a fair bit of googling and searching here, but most remedies seem to rely on being able to boot into ROM and repair thru ROM Manager or GParted etc, but I am unable to get past Recovery or splash screen. I am S-On, btw and had 996mB Ext3/13.xFAT32...
Any ideas??
Cheers.
EDIT: Fixed. Phew! Was able to run home at lunch and thanks to clunky old Dell laptop, I found that my SD was not dead, just wounded. Had a GParted disk ready to go, so was able to format Ext3, boot up and flash Recovery. Will try to flash v22 again later...

Upgrading to CM7 on the Defy

How do I back up my present Eclair before upgrading to CM7 on the Defy?
I have managed to get into the clockwork mod section boot menu (blue light) but I am still having a little trouble in backing up my present Android Eclair o/s.
I was at the point of trying to do the backup of the present installation of my phone but got this error message:
"Clockwork Mod Recovery v2.5.1.8
E: Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 (or /dev/block/mmcblk0)
(No such file or directory)
Can't mount /sdcard"
Do you know why I received this error message above?
I had copied all the data off the sd card to my pc and formatted the sd card but still I get this same message.
I wanted to backup the Eclair so that if I ever needed to revert back to it in case of sending phone off for repair or replacement etc under warranty I can go back to the original system without voiding my warranty due to going to CM7 non-motorola released o/s update.
After I have done this backup in the Recovery and Backup section of Clockwork Mod I believe then will need to put Froyo on before I can go to CM7 Gingerbread.
I believe I have downloaded everything I need to get the job done but just not sure how exactly to do it especially this backup part so I can stay safe.
If you can advice me I appreciate it.
Cheers,
John
