[Q] Rom Backup Fails with Rom Manager - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi.
I have tried to search the forum for answers but failed to find a answer to my problem
I have rooted my Desire GSM an installed Rom Manager.
When i chose to backup current rom it boots into ClockworkMod Recovery it says under the menu:
ClockworkMOD 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 find CACHE:recovery/log
E:Can't find MISC
I got a 8gb SD card with 1gb ext partition and 7gb fat32 partition.
Do anyone got any tips??

You might want to check if you have a PVT4 Desire (most probably the case), because if so, you need AmonRa Recovery or a newer(Special?) Version of Clockworkmod (which performs the backup itself, rom manager just iniates those)
Download a terminal Client and do this
Check using the following:
cat /proc/mtd (from adb shell or terminal emulator)
Erasesize will say either 20000 or 40000, whereas the last one identifies your device as being PVT4 New. This has a different NAND chip, which uses a bigger pagesize and changed partition offsets.

If you have a pvt4 desire, go back to froyo stock and run unrevoked again (in this time with cousin recovery).
And don't user rom manager. Do it directly from recovery.

[Q] Problem with Clockwork

I just used Amon Ra recovery to create an ext4 partition on my sd. Went fine, but now I've switched back to Clockworkmod recovery and every time it starts/I go back to main menu I get this error:
"E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 (File exists)
E:Can't mount CACHE:recovery/command
E: Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 (File exists)
E:Can't mount CACHE:recovery/log
E: Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 (File exists)
That first line shows up as well whenever I've tried to wipe dalvik cache for the last few months.
This whole error shows up when I try to create a backup as well right when it starts to backup cache, then just stops. doesn't backup cache or ext partition and doesn't generate md5 sum.

I tried that fix twice, but I keep getting this:
/dev/block/mmcblk0p2 has unsupported feature<s>: extents gdt_checksum
e2sfck:Get a newer version of e2sfck!
and clockwork continues with the same errors at the main menu.
EDIT: Upon typing "e2fsck /dev/block/mmcblk0p2" in adb shell, I get the error "/sbin/sh: e2fsck: not found".

sounds like you trashed your internal EXT2 partitions.....I did the same with amon recovery..........here is the post I used to fix the situation:
http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/6433-solved-messed-up-partitions-on-internal-storage/
after I did this procedure, I had to unroot back to stock, then unrevoked again.

WTH man that sucks. all just because of retarded Amon ra ext partitioning for an sd card.

I thought I was changing my sd card from ext2 to ext4, too...... and somehow ended up changing the internal to ext4........took a little research to get it fixed.

That's odd. I used it just the other day to partition my SD card with 512mb sd-ext, 32mb swap, and the rest as FAT32 and it worked flawlessly. Something that clockwork couldn't do, mind you.

I worked, perfectly, to do that for me............it went awry when I tried to change the partition from ext2 to ext4. The new clockwork has the ability to partition your sd card in it..........but now I am gun shy to try.
I knew clockwork has problems partitioning sd, so I stayed away from it. That's why I used Amon Ra to get it done. did partition sd, then did ext2 to ext3 then to ext4. Then flashed back to Clockwork and next thing I know this problem comes up.
I had this same problem last night. I fixed it by going into ROM manager and reflashing clockwork
I tried reflashing recoveries, but that didn't work. I went through the process that was posted above and it fixed it, although I didn't have to RUU back or anything. I just formatted everything on my phone, pushed the 6 files and ran the parted program, then all was fine. Did the partition on my sd again to ext4 and now it works

clockworkmod, at least 2.5.0.5, can't handle ext4 partitions.

I'm on 2.5.0.5 and have an ext4 (that works now) and it seems fine.

Interesting. When I created an sd-ext partition ext4 clockwork wouldn't recognize it, giving me the same errors above. Switching it to ext2 worked fine.

You shold install amon ra recovery.
It has much more options than clockwork.
It can even fix sd card errors.
You can find img file using search.
Then install it using unrevoked custom recovery option.
Then go for installing a new rom
Or you can partician sd card easily with amon ra

Seems that you may have a PVT4 device. I agree with the above poster, look for a newer version of ClockworkMod that will work with AmonRa 2.0.1 or flash the AmonRa 2.0.1 image with unrEVOked recovery and try again.

I have just the same problem as you have!
Only that I didn't try to wipe, I tried to preform a backup (nandroid backup if I'm not wrong).
Does any one know how to fix that problem without flashing a new recovery image?
And if not, should I falsh Amon RA's recovery using the unlocker's method about flashing custom recoveries?
Not sure how to fix it but yeah, try Amon-Ra's recovery instead as a lot less seems to go wrong with it. I have used it in the past and it had not caused me any issues, although, i tend to stick with ClockworkMod just because fortunately enough for me, it has not caused any problems and i prefer the frequent updates.

Check your hboot screen if your pvt1 - 3 try reflashing stock ruu, it could just be a badly flashed misc partition, i had a simlar problem once

Thanks for telling, I'll try AmonRa now

Formatted and partitioned SD card (fat32 and ext2) not mounting with Redux rom.

I've created a ~500mb ext2 partition on my sdcard on redux custom rom 1.0.2 on htc desire. However, Link2sd doesn't seem to like this partition (complains that it can't mount and can't write a script to automount at boot), but then I read that redux comes with something installed already. However, it doesn't seem to be using the partition properly.
Mount shows up thus:
#mount
...
/dev/block/mmcblk0p2 on /sd-ext type ext2 (rw,noatime,nodiratime,barrier=1,data=ordered)
...
Any suggestions about what I need to do to get this partition used as part of the system storage?
Thanks in advance.
Try ext3 / ext4.
AFAIK ext2 is no longer supported in the scripts.
According to EASEUS partition Manager this partition is already ext3, but according to my mount command above it's ext2 - now I'm really confused. . Any other suggestions?
Hi there,
I do have similar problems.
After flashing latest Redux2 Rom, my Desire refuses to mount my SD-Card. I'm not able to see it in the Settings, nor am i able to flash or Restore anything from it in Recovery mode.
After trying going to "Flash zip from sdcard" i get the Error:
E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 (or /dev/block/mmcblk0)
(No sich file or direktory)
E:Can't mount SDCARD:
I already tried the SD-Card in another phone and it's working proberly. I Already formated it on the other phone and tried formating it in Recovery.
As a result i'm also unable to reRoot it with unRevoked as the Phone won't go into USB mode...
Any suggestions how i might fix this problem?

Use the search. Problem got solved very often.

Can't backup cache via Nand

I use CWM 2.5.0.7 and when I try to Nandroid backup, it backups everything except for the cache.
I get this error:
E:can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p2
(File exists)
could not mount sd-ext. sd-ext backup may not be supported on this device.
also if I try to mount the SD-EXT from the recovery I get this error:
E:can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p2
(File exists)
Error mounting SDEXT:!
I tried to search a bit but the only thing I got that seemed to be relevant is this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=924371
Some say that it's USB brick (which I don't think I have), and some say that it's because there is something wrong about the partitions of the SD, but I couldn't find an absolute solution for this.
Of course I don't want to flash anything until I can fully backup my device.
If it's relevant, I'm not S-OFFed.
Thanks in advance
Common error, if the card has no EXT partition or it is wrongly partitioned. Suggesting to backup everything from your card, re-partition it (at least EXT3) with GParted.
BTW, What Desire you have? If it is PVT4 (shown in the bootloader), then you must use AmonRA 2.0.0 or higher for maximum compatibility.
Thanks for the answer.
The card was first partitioned with GParted, but I guess something went wrong.
I will partition my card again, soon I hope, and return with results.
My desire is not PVT4.

Use AmonRA instead of CWM.
Your phone is a PVT4 model probably. Or use newer version of CWM.
