Sounds like a problem with your sdcard, try formatting and/or repartitioning it.

Seems to be a problem of the SD card. Have you tried it with another one? It could also be that it isn't properly formatted, but as you already tried this it doesn't seem to be the problem. One other possibility is - if you have more than one partition on your SD card - that the one its trying to mount has the wrong filesystem. In the topic title you mentioned mmcblk0p1, so if you now formatted the card using your PC it could be that your PC swapped over the FAT and EXT partitions, meaning that p1 is now EXT and p0 FAT, although it should be the other way round. If you have more than one partition on it, try to remove it and format the whole card in FAT32. You could also try to reflash the recovery image.

[Q] cant mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 [SOLVED]

I had been trying to install the new oxygen 2.0.1 with and the data2whatever scripts and also tried to reformat my sd card to increase from 512 to 1024mb.
from what ive read i may have somewhoe reformatted my internal sd ext or did something to it.
I followed one fix found from hereHere
but that didnt help it made another problem which is: cant mount /dev/block/mmcblk0 (or /dev/block/mmcblk0p1) I/O error
error mounting /sdcard/.android-secure!
does anyone else know a link for a fix or how to fix the sd-ext on the internal storage?
Please please help
Thanks
CWM messed up mine, so that's why I never use Recoveries to do this job.
I fixed it using GParted. Deleted both partitions, created new ones and aligned both.
No problem ever since.

Hey thanks for the reply, can you explain a little more.
you deleted the mmcblk0p2 directory and created new ones?
Did you do that in adb with parted?
if not how did you go about with it?
Thank you
I booted GParted from my usb stick, and the phone was in recovery mode, where I mounted the SD Card (Advanced - Mount USB Storage).
Gparted recognized it as dev/sdb0 (I think) and showed to partitions.
Removed them both (showed 15 GB Unallocated space*) and created the 1GB Ext4 and then the Rest FAT32.
*=16GB is 15 GB usable space (just in case ).

Yeah thanks. I figured out how to do the sd card but i think my problem is the actual sd-ext folder in the system partition on the phone.
E:cant mount /dev/block/mmcblck0p2 (file exists) error mounting /sd-ext/!
ANy one else have any other suggestions??
im getting desperate
SOLVED
I finally solved this. the problem was that somehow i dont know but
when i made the ext 3 partition it was extened, so obviously recovery couldnt mount it so that was the problem.
I fixed it by following this guys thread Here using parted and the shell to format and partition my sd card
So relieved i fixed this.
Same problem was in my desire.however, solved by install RUU ROM to remove the root then I root again the problem solved.

[Q] Internal SD Problem, help please!

Hi all, i've a BIG problem.
Today, before installing ARHD 6.1.1 i've wiped all with SuperWipe and i format internal sd card with SDFormatter.
Now pc see internal sd with all file tranfered but recovery can't mount sdcard with this error:
E: can't mount /sdcard
I can't mount via adb also
so i can't flash rom or switch on my phone!!
Can you help me, please?
flash the new recovery - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1594819
Also did you have enterprise mail on your phone. If so, your phone SD will be encrypted. So you may have to format SD in recovery.
I've last recovery yet and i've trouble formatting sdcard via recovery:
Formatting /sdcard...
Error mounting /sdcard!
skipping format...
Done.

Try to format with pc again and without sdformatter (fat32, 32 klusters). When I format with sdformatter, phone says wrong SD format.

Did you try and format it as fat 32? and 32 k clusters?
Also what happens if you try and flash a stock Ruu onto it, that would probably tell the phone to reformat it.
I've formatted by PC in Recovery 5.8.4.0 after USB Mounting
The problem persists
I can't install RUU 'cause my HBOOT is 0.94 for 1.28.166.xx
The only RUU on line 166 (VODA CH-DE) is 1.26.166.xx

[Q] Can't mount SD card in recovery to flash a new rom, help!

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

[Q] No /system /cache /sdcard partitions, can't flash kernel

Ok, here is the problem, i woke up today, my phone battery was empty, i connected the phone battery was loading, but i couldn't get to the system, after kernel load it stops, like there was no system installed. Everything worked fine day before,my configuration was: Doomkernel and Existenz_2.0.5 ROM.
So, i got to recovery (recovery works,CWM), and there i saw "can't mount cache" error. I got into shell with adb (this works too), and there is no way i can mount any system partition (/system, /cache, /data), what's more important /sdcard does not mount either. So, i'm in recovery, can't install or restore from sdcard,cause /sdcard does not mount.
I'v tried sideload, no go.
I've tried fastboot flash new kernel, and here's interesing thing, fastboot reported that flashing was ok, but i still have Doomkernel (i was trying to flash 6.0-TUX-Core-HD kernel. So seems like fastboot did not write anything at all.
I've tried flashtool with stock tft. It breaks with "final verification error", when i turn "final verification off" it goes all the way, says everything is installed, but when i restarted, still only Doomkernel.
Any ideas ? I take any advice.
Maybe you have already tried it, but format your phone's data, THEN the cache, and finally the internal storage (SD card). In XS's CWM, there's a bug, which causes sometimes an unformatable and unusable cache parition. But this method can be help on this. Maybe this problem causes those unformatable partitions.

Thank you for your reply. Haven't tried that but i have now and, unfortunately, no go. With /data and /cache seems like format was success but it didn't ( still can't Mount) and with /sdcard format fails (error mounting /sdcard).
Maybe my sdcard really died ?

Well, I don't think so. The "SD Card" is a part of the memory chip, which includes the system, the data and the cache partitions too. Because you cannot copy anything now to the internal storage, try to install a ROM from ADB Sideload if you can. Once it done, your phone can be boot maybe again. If it happens, try to format the internal storage by the Android. If it fails, connect the phone to your computer, and try to format with Windows or (it can be better) Linux to fat32 filesystem.

Thank you for your ideas. Thing is, all i can start is cwm recovery. As i wrote, i can't install anything with sideload. And no partition is working. When i start parted /dev/block/mmcblk and try to list partitions, i get unrecognized disk label error, when i try to manually set disk label to msdos, there's I/O Error.
And i can't format sdcard, because when in recovery, phone is not detected by Linux nor Windows. But i tried formatting partitions internally, with mke2fs, and with fastboot command. No go.
I know that /sdcard is just a partition, but what i meant was that probably my phone memory chip died, like hardware died. but i'm still looking for new ideas i want to try everything before giving up.

Then maybe it's a HW error really. But maybe just the partition table is corrupted. At this point, I don't know. I have only one suggestion left: Take the phone to the nearest SONY Center or GSM shop/service to investigation. But I think they will say you'll need to replace the phone's motherboard. Anyway, it's an too expensive solution I think, because this phone is a "retired" modell without any update, but with a "blacksheep (Snapdragon S3) SoC.

[Q] HOX - SDCard Can't be mounted issue again.

Hi guys, I was trying to partitionate my sdcard to get a bigger /data space.
After a try, I decided to get me Sdcard back to previous state...
0.mounted usb to my pc.
1. formatted in fat32 format, as primary type with "minitool partition wizard ..."
3. umount and restart the phone, surprised my partition cannot be mounted yet and it's not recognized on my system.
So... Here comes the dispair... I erased all my phone stuff, format and delete all sort of things but /sdcard cannot be mounted...
After that I'm charging the phone right now on recovery mode, later I'm gonna try to install Ruu but I don't have the latest, only the previous... Is that any problem??
Tks guys!!
