Just so you know if you are flashing a rom and you get this that it usually means wrong file system. Like your on ext4 trying to flash a rfs only rom.

[Q] E:Can't mount /sdcard

Please help!!!!!!!!!
I rooted my HTC EVO 4g using Unrevoked, it worked fine, then I decided to flash a new rom, followed all the steps and I backed up my stock and wipe data/factory reset and Davik, now my phone doesn't read the sd card, is not even connecting throw usb, not even for charging.
Took the sd card out and did a FAT32 format (4 times already), downloaded the new zip to it and still not reading.
Can't do a restore because I re-formated the sd card and is not reading anyways.
I have another SD card and same thing happens.
As soon as I check install zip from card it reads
ClockworkMod Recovery v2.5.0.1
E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0 (or /dev/block/mmcblk0p1)
(No such file or directory)
E:Can't mount /sdcard​
Please help, I'm stuck.

You should probably use Amon RA recovery. Just go to ROM Manager and flash it from there.

I don't have access to my phone, I can only go to H BOOT or Recovery.
If I connect my USB it reads HBOOT USB PLUG, and because I deleted the stock ROM, I can't send any info to the phone.
It is possible that the debugging is not even on and I can't turn it back on without access to the phone.
I have noticed the the sd card in me EVO is kinda funny. If I push it in all the way my phone won't read it. If I push it in then close the little latch then kinda pull it straight out with my fingernail until the back is right up against the plastic in the slot it reads it. Try that...it might be your problem. If not I would RUU back to stock and take it back to Sprint and get a new one.
That's funny, after all this time, I had to buy another EVO, this time got rooted and flashed myn's warm two point two, played with different kernel's and my new phone is working great.
Still try to figure out how to fix the problem, I think I'm not the only one that had to purchase a new phone after screwing with it.
If anyone has any ideas, I'm all ears, I would like to fix this so I can help someone else.
Mmm i had the same problem and i found a links where u can fix that. But i see than im too late..

SdCard Mounted ReadOnly

I have an sdcard icon with a ! in my notification bar that says Mounted ReadOnly...The sdcard has an unexpected problem. I cant access my sdcard. Ive reboot. Cleared caches. Same thing happens. I put the sdcard into my laptop and its got issues everywhere. Some files are renamed weirdly. Some files say they are missing. Im sure reformatting might fix the problem but if I can fix this without doing so thatd be great. Could this be the work of a virus? Please help.

when you put it into your computer if you right click it should give you an option to check flash, or you can also hit properties, tool and check for errors, but your if you just bought your sd card it might be a bad card
just had the samething happen last night. i just moved all my files to a folder on my pc and reforrmatted the sd and then moved them back and repartitioned. i know its what you are trying to avoid, but i figured rather than wasting time i would just start over.
I got the same message a few times normally after flashing a new rom or nandroiding back to a previous backup but I have been just clearing the notification and unmount and remount the sd card

I didn't think it was that simple. doubt that'd do it. You can only mount the system rw, not the SD card

Lol i figured that much because i tried all options possible and didnt see that option for the sd. What does mounting sdcard in recovery allow me to do? I have armon recovery.

-steps into the fray-
It allows you to place files on the sdcard, while in recovery. In case you were like... "Oh I forgot to put _____ file on" then you don't have to remove the battery or boot into the rom, then mount, you can do it straight from recovery, unmount, then flash. I use it frequently.
Ok but it wont allow me to do anything to fix my problem correct?

Not really.
What I would recommend you do is copy the contents of the sdcard onto your pc, then format the sdcard in fat32 partition, copy the files back to it, then try to mount it.

+1. Format that thing, then try again. If you don't have a card reader to put the card in your computer to format it, perhaps try formatting from the computer while it's mounted in recovery...?
Well first im gonna try to do the check for errors, and if it doesnt work then i guess ill have to reformat

Can't Mount Sd Card in CWM

So i went to flash a ROM and now it says while flashing that the flash was aborted because the system can't mount the SD card. I'm using the newest CWM and have flashed stuff before. Not sure what to do, it wont let me make backups, restore, or flash anything.

Did you use the Mounts menu to try to manually mount the sd?
Also, Which method did you use to get into CWM?

Ya i went into the menus and manually unmounted and then remounted the SD card but that didn't do anything. I used the typical three finger method to boot into CWM like i always do.
i think
I believe this has something to do with the way in which the SD card is formatted I also cannot mount in to usb storage in CWM i get an E: error
Have you guys tried to "Reboot recovery" from the "Adavnced" menu in CWM, and then try to flash the ROM?
I've had this happen before, it was a formatting problem. The easiest fix I found was to back up SD-card data on your pc, reformat the card from the Android system, then copy your data back over. CWM should be able to mount your card now.
I had a problem with the mount dropping mid flash it was my sd for some reason was chipped I always keep backup files

Just flash another version of CWM and u'r done. I faced this problem after flashing Siyah Kernel v2.3 which includes CWM 5.0, and I tried all the methods online; formatting, error-checking, etc... nothing succeed!
Finally I flashed another kernel (Which includes CWM 4.0) and it worked fine.
Thanks!
Same thing happened to me just now... found this thread.. pushed new CWM in ODIN - Worked like a charm.. Fixed in 2 minutes..
Flashing another CWM (ACS recovery this time...) via Odin did not fix the issue. Going to try the format /sdcard fix and see... argh!
*Edit* aaaand that didn't work either. WTF... I literally just got this phone 2 hours ago... brand new.
delete the .androidsecure folder on your sd that worked for me formatting wont work if you put your files on the same with me because i always copied that folder along too

Phone keeps restarting...

k i have a Evo 4g and i was flasing a rom and now the rom doesnt load... just the lockscreen apears then the phone restarts....i did a nandroid back up and tried to restore the back up and same thing happens...
i formated everything and even the sd card and i have that same problem... i also get the 5 vibrates and green light problem sometimes... i have recovery...
what should i do flash PA36IMG.zip from hboot???
What ROM was it?
Did you totally wipe EVERYTHING (Except the SD Card)
it was the mikg 2.1 +3.0 rom... yes i wiped everything except the sd card...
whats weird is the lock screen shows up then just restarts and keeps doing it....

First of all, go back into recovery and wipe everything in the wipe menu except the SD card and then flash a 'rooted' stock rom (whether ODEX or DE-ODEXED is irrelevant). A link is in my signature. If you can successfully flash a stock rom then it is safe to assume that your current rom is corrupted somehow. Also, what radios & kernel are you using with your current rom? Are they compatible?
i almost feel like when the rom tries to read the sd card it restart..... i did switch sd card same problem

Try downloading and flashing the Synergy rom. It is almost the equivalent of the one you were trying to flash. Let us know if you are successful or not. Disregard my previous post for now, please.

It could be and that is why I always suggest a re-partitioning & re-Formatting of SD cards from time to time. Do you happen to have an ext4 partition set up on your card?

If you are unable to install any other roms, then yes, back up the contents of your card and then, especially if your recovery is amonRA v2.3, re-partition it while in recovery. You should see 'Partition SD card' in the recovery's menu. You will be asked to set a size for the SWAP, ext2 and FAT. If you want to simply have use of the entire card as a FAT, enter 0 for the SWAP & the ext2 partition. If you have lots of 3rd party apps and you plan on installing a rom like Synergy or it's equivalent, you may want to set up an ext3 partition. If you plan to use a Synergy-like rom, I 'suggest' you set up an ext3 partition in this manner:
0 for SWAP
either 1024 or 2048 for the ext2
the rest for FAT and after the process is complete, select 'upgrade ext2 to ext3'. All of this is done from within recovery.
Afterwards, go to the wipe menu and wipe everything in it including the card. Then copy a freshly downloaded copy of the rom you want to use and then flash it.
i tried that.... now the sd card dont want to mount or format... and Synergy rom is doing the same thing it boots to the lock screen the reboots..
If it were me, at this point, I would run the RUU for your phone and then click on this link and follow my guide.

Baron, are you still S-OFF? If you are and if you don't think you need to re-flash your recovery, then I agree with HipKat that you need to flash the ruu. If your hboot version is 2.02/2. 10 then yes, flash the ruu with software 3.70.. If you have a Windows computer, you can download the exe version, connect your device to your pc and then run the exe. You can download either version from the link in my signature.
Posting & replying from my EVO 4G
i am still s-off... with h-boot v 2.10.0001
and im download exe version of RUU_SuperSonic_S_Sprint_WWE_3.70.651.1_Radio_2.15. 00.11.19_NV_1.90_release_161482_signed.exe now... get back to you soon
If the .exe version doesn't work, then give the PC36IMG version a try. I've used that one and it works well.
i run the app and its giving usb connection error at what state does my phone have to be it for this to work?? im in recovery mode right now... htc recovery..

Yep. Make sure it's called PC36IMG.zip and when you boot to Hboot and it does it's scan and asks if you want to update, say yes.
Be ready to flash recovery right after that, btw, so you'll have to get the PC36IMG for recovery on your disk after Hboot Runs RUU. Just let it boot up, if it will and then try to connect to your computer, and swap out the PC36IMG's
i flashed the ruu then Amon_RA-supersonic-v2.3 recovery and it just does the same thing boots to look screen after a few secs it reboots. and sometimes it get stuck at a black screen and green blinking light.. then i have to pull the battery...

Either Mount internal sd in recovery and hookup to your commuter and put the rom on the card. .. Then you could flash. ... Or get a mini sd and put a rom on it and insert it in your phone. ...
