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

big problems...i think i'm sinking fast

Did everything the way I normally do when flashing a new rom.
Now when I attempt to load any ROM from my sd card, I get this message:
Installing system files ...
E:Error in /sdcard/Incredible Files/SkyRaider_33_Sense_Final.zip
(Status 0)
Installation aborted.
I also try to do a restore from my nandroid backups and it ALWAYS "freezes". Now the only thing I can do is boot into recovery but nothing after that. I've read through a lot of material and know how to do most things, however I'm by no means an expert and now I feel like I've caused irreversible damage.
HELP?

sounds to me like your rom got corrupt during the download, i would try to download it again after deleting the file off your SD card.
did you download it from a PC or from your inc? i have seen people get corrupt files when downloading straight from the inc, its best to use a PC to download the roms
you can use the mount menu in recovery to mount your usb storage if you dont have an adapter to read the microsd, this will let you replace the possibly corrupt rom with a fresh zip

My original sd card has become unreadable by both my incredible and by my sd card reader. I have another one and loaded all of the backed up files I had on the old one. I've tried downloading the ROM through ROM Manager as well as placing the file on the new sd card and both do the same thing.
I honestly have no idea what to do now and am worried that not everything I need was transferred to the new sd card.
I just want to be able to load ANY ROM and I'm willing to reset/wipe anything and everything but I don't think there's anything I can do at this point....

well there is nothing that needs to be on the SD card at all aside from the backup or [rom].zip file you are trying to flash
have you tried installing a different rom with recovery? maybe virtous rom?
also what version of clockwork recovery are you running?

And you're sure it's FAT32?

Positive it's FAT32 and I just flashed the most current Clockwork Recovery from ROM Manager.

Try to format/partition the sd via recovery. The new clockwork has this method (haven't tried it and don't know if it works) and the alternate RA does, too. I've used that one and know it works. Try that (leave the defaults, which is 512mb sd-ext, 32mb or similiar swap, I think, and the rest as FAT32).

boot into hboot (vol down and power when device is off)
what hboot version and baseband are you running?
I dont think the sd card is the problem

I wiped the dalvik and batt stats and for whatever reason tried again to reinstall the ROM and it went through this time.
Everything seems to be working as normal. Man was that one weird ass experience.

back up problem

While i making back up i got this error: "Error while making backup image of /sd-ext"
how can i solve this problem? or i can restore, but my apps on ext wont work?
(i use cm 9 aplha3 , and link2sd)

are you using cwm6? i have same problem here and looking for a way to turn back to cwm5...(and you can manually back up your sd-ext..it is located in internal storage data/sdext copy it to sd card and after restoring copy again to same place))

If you're using Link2SD/Data2SD then you must be having a separate EXT2/3/4 partition on your SD card. You can simply backup the files in that partition & put them back after reflashing.
If you have a linux system, then connect USB will show up both partitions, then you can copy them to a folder on your PC as a backup.
Its actually a good thing when you don't want a full restore too. Some things like Swype's personal dictionary can't be backed up, so after a fresh install, just copy these files on the EXT partition!

It's easy using CWM app. Run CWM, take the first option in the menu, confirm it's your device and it will reflash recovery 5.0.2.8. Before reflashing it already tells you that you've 5.0.2.8, but that's a mistake, if you reflash it downgrades your recovery and, at least in my device, the problem in sd-ext backup disappears.

Yea restoring will work but some of the apps will not appear or will not work properly, those are stored in sdext..run link2sd and mount partition after you can copy your backed up sd ext folder... i also turned back to cwm 5 but it still has error with sdext i dont know why..

I think you mean Rom Manager. It's a cwm app, but when you say cwm you're usually referring to the recovery app.
Edit : Try using titanium backup, I find it works better. I use cwm just to flash stuff.

uh oh, I borked something......anyone know how to fix?

I was messing with a file cleaning app, an invasive one apparently, and after downloading the latest version of clean rom, I went into CWM to flash it. After doing the usual wiping, data, cache, etc, when I went to "choose zip from sd card" CWM told me it can't mount the external sd card so I had no access to the new rom I needed to flash and when I tried to reboot the phone got stuck at the boot logo. I had to boot back into CWM and restore a nandroid backup I had but even now when I boot back into CWM it is telling me that I still can't mount the ext sd card. Anyone have any idea what I may have done or how to fix it?
***EDIT*** I think I may have it figured out. I reflashed Clockworkmod and it seems to be working fine now.

TWRP won't recognize external SD card

Right now there is no ROM installed on my phone because I just wiped my phone, but when I went to install a new ROM, it doesn't seem to recognize my external SD card. I tried 2 SD cards and neither of them work, but they work on my other phone. How can I fix this issue? I went to mount and it says "E: Unable to mount '/external_sd'.

Update twrp if available, if not try to reflash it and if it still doesn't work then try cwm

Thanks for the reply. Which method of installation would be the best? Odin? I only have access to recovery as far as I know.

Yes Odin
Sent from my SGH-M919 using Tapatalk

The latest TWRP doesn't seem to recognize my SD card either. Also both of them are saying that my device is not rooted and it asks if I want to fix root. I'm trying CWM now but it isn't finding anything either.
Edit: CWM says my device isn't rooted as well.
Edit 2: Flashed http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23212708291679687 with Odin and when the phone boots up, it's stuck on the Samsung logo. Any thoughts?

Factory reset. Incompatible data probably causing boot hang.
This will wipe apps and data.

Thanks for the help everyone. I flashed back to stock and re-rooted. However it still won't read anything from the external SD. Does this mean the SD reader is broken?

Can you plug it into the computer? Does it see it there? If so what is the file system type? Can you format it?

Yep, the computer only sees the phone's harddrive, not the SD card. On my other phone, the SD card is working fine.

No, I mean plug the card into the computer. Not the phone. But if another device uses it ok, then you msy just need to reformat using the computer.

Reformat the card? I will try that. But I have two SD cards and neither work on my S3, and both work on my S4.

That tells me the cards are ok and something is probably wrong with the device then. If you format one card to fat32 and it still can't read it, its probably hardware.

@bjornturoque Here was my problem. Exactly like yours. I am BL unlocked, Rooted, TWRP 2.8.7. I am having a problem with the ext sd card not being read in TWRP. I have had ver 2.8.5 / 2.8.7 / 3.0.2 of TWRP and none of them will read the card. I have tried formatting the card with my Note4, GS 5, Tab S, and my PC using SD Card Formatter. Still getting the same result.
Here is what I did to fix it.
Install Xposed, Download Wanam Xposed, activate the module, open and go to security hacks and check the box for SDcard RW permission, then reboot.
I just did this to mine and it fixed my problem. Hope it works for ya.

Format SD-card via Windows (FAT32/Default Allocation).

No, doesn't work
I have a 128 GB SD with exFAT, it worked without problems in TWRP 3.0.2 recovery under CM12.1
Now I am on CM13 and beside the bluddy permission google-bug it works in the system but not anymore in TWRP 3.0.2 recovery.
I tried to fix the permissions to write to external sd (this 128 GB sd) by adding stuff to the /data/system/packages.xml file, see this post.
But I didn't change the wrong thing I am pretty sure and doubt that this is related, as TWRP comes without using this file, I guess.
I flashed 3.0.2 again with Odin, no change.
Fact is, that I installed CM13 with another SD-card, a 64 GB FAT32, not this one. Maybe it never worked under CM13. But anyway, what has TWRP to do with CM13 and its permissions? TWRP is previous to any CM system, which is not running at TWRP times.
What could that be?

I flashed now CWRM v6.0.4.7 (ClockworkMod Recovery) but the problem persists:
E: Can't mount /storage/sdcard1
Error mounting /storage/sdcard1

What is it? The sdcard is working flawlessly in the running system and another FAT32 sdcard works in TWRP. What do I miss here?
Is it that TWRP and CWM doesn't know exFAT?
I think to be quite sure that this was working, I have exFAT since a while now.
