Cant mount /devblock/mmcblklp2 - Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello, I was in the middle of installing a new rom and my phone went into a boot loop. I took the battery out and then restarted the phone. When I did this Every time I go into recovery I get the message E: cant mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 (file exists).
I can get into recovery but every rom I try to load leaves the phone in a boot loop. I have searched the internet for a solution but I can find one and the one I did find I cant understand. I asks me to use the adb shell and I havent used this in over a year and cant really remember all the scripts to make it work.
I am running clockwork mod 2.5.1.2 i also did the unrevoked s-off. If anyone can walk me through a solution or point me in the direction of one that would be great. Also I wasnt sure where to post this so if Its in the wrong place just let me know and I can repost there.

I'm pretty sure anything before CWM 3.x uses update-script, while almost every rom now uses updater-script. Try updating CWM to 5.0.2.0 and then flashing a rom.

This should be in the Q&A section, not developement.
That being said the above post by teerom is probably correct.

I tried loading the cwm 5.0.2.0 zip like I would any other zip and I got the same message. Am i doing something wrong?

Yeah. First download this file:
http://www.mediafire.com/?s7gyn7raxbs2lab
Rename it to PB31IMG.zip and place it on the root of your SD card. Boot your device into HBOOT (Power + Volume Up) and follow the instructions to install the new recovery. Then try flashing a ROM.

MY MANN!!! how you guys know how to fix these phones when they get all messed up is crazzy. Thank you sooo much for getting me back on my droid...Ive been working with my old palm pre plus... THanks again.

HBOOT problem

Okay, so I just finished completing the guide on how to root 2.2, and I read on the forums that some people were having trouble installing CM6 with the method, and a different HBOOT was required. I flashed the HBOOT from showthread.php?t=75283 and now my phone will not boot. It keeps going to the Bootloader, any ideas as to what I can do?
[Edit]
I can get into Amon_Ra recovery fine

And what do I do from Recovery? I'm sorry, but I'm new to all of this.

I can't boot my phone up for some reason, if there is something I can mess with in recovery mode, let me know
I managed to get my HBOOT back to 0.79.0000, but it still won't go past the bootloader screen, no matter how I try to restart the phone.

Wipe, then flash CM6 or something else from recovery.
To flash a rom, put the zip file on the SD card in the bottom folder. Get into the Amon ra recovery. Clear your cache. Flash the zip file. All done.
Btw, before you clear the cache and flash the zip do a man's backup... Always do a man's backup. That's what will save you if you screw up.

This is right. I had the same prob then ran toasts simpleroot nandunlock to get hboot .76. For some reason I lost my flash.bin and had to reflash a recovery thru cmd to atop getting flash_image not found message
So basically I need to go back and forward from .79 to .76 everytime I want to switch between cm6 and other custom roms like fresh or any of those roms?

First of all you need to make sure you've fully completed all the steps (including part 2) for rooting 2.2. Make sure you're in recovery, this guide will flash Amon_RA 1.8.0. After that it's pretty simple:
1) Download the PC36IMG.zip from
forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7889836&postcount=18​
2) Copy it in zip format to the tools directory of your android SDK, mine is
C:\android-sdk-windows\tools​
3) Open cmd from the tools location
Windows 7: highlight the tools folder, then shift + right click and hit "open command window here". cmd window should pop up that has the location of the tools folder.​
4) Type
adb push PC36IMG.zip /sdcard/​
To make sure it transferred okay, go to flash zip in recovery and see if the file is there.
5) Back out of recovery into the boot loader by rebooting the phone (should be an option in recovery somewhere)
6) click bootloader once your evo starts up, and it should auto detect the new PC36IMG.zip and ask for you to apply update, apply it and reboot. You should now have the 0.76 bootloader and Amon_RA 1.8.0.
7) You can now delete the PC36IMG.zip file if you want by typing
adb shell
rm PC36IMG.zip​
This next part if only for cyanogen mod, but it should be pretty similar to other ROMs.
1) Download all files needed for cyanogen mod (both the ROM and Google Aps)
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=735596​
I also suggest you download the latest radio from XDA as well.
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=715485​
2) Place all the files in the tools folder exactly as they are.
3) Boot into recovery on your evo.
4) Open a cmd prompt from the tools folder just like in step 3 in part 1
5) Type:
adb push EVO_Radio_2.15.00.07.28.zip /sdcard/
adb push update-cm-6.0.0-Supersonic-signed.zip /sdcard/
adb push gapps-hdpi-20100817-signed.zip /sdcard/​
6) Chose flash zip in recovery and flash radio.zip, reboot the phone
7) Go back into recovery
8) Wipe your SDCard (cache/davlk-cache/etc.)
9) Flash cyanogemod ROM and then Google Apps
You should now have an updated radio, Cyanogen mod and the latest google apps. Good luck, if you have any questions please let me know. I'm pretty new at this android stuff but I'll try to help the best I can.

That thread has a download for HBOOT 0.79.
Here's a direct link:

I know it is a brick

OMG! I have bricked it for sure! I want to cry! I have clockwork and it never goes to recovery so I do option at the bottom to restore the other. Clockwork always gives me the white lines and black screen. So like a dumb ass I went into clockwork and looked at roms. Downloaded one and it asked to install clockwork recovery to install so I said yes. Installed the rom and when it asked to go to clockwork recovery to install I said yes. And now nothing just the black screen with white lines. Will not do anything. All options in volume down and power do nothing. Help help help!! Cannot boot phone or get into recovery! I have a brick, I just know it!! Please help me get my phone back!!!!!
Recovery options
Its not a brick. Follow that link to get recovery working again. You can use Adrynalyne's version or the link to BAmod by berzerker. Sd card needs to be fat32 for hboot to recognize the .zip
ok do I need to just put the sd card in the puter and reformat it? And then put the zip on the sd card after I rename it?
Should work for ya.
well I did that and it didn't work. It goes through the HBoot when I first turn it on and then it doesn't do anything else. Just says something like no image?
Follow exactly the directions on the berzerker thread.
They work.
If you choose to d/l one of his, he offers several means to accomplish the placement of the recovery. Sounds like you tried copying a PMB image to SD. (Option #3, assuming you have S-Off, which you should if you used unrevoked) No ADB needed. (nothing to do for step 2b in Option #3)
The directions on what to do are pretty succinct w/ that method.
Try it.

What you are describing is the SLCD screen w/ incorrect recovery.
Copy one of the PMB image files to the freshly formatted SD card and follow the directions in berzerker's thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=10048323 - option 3.
You don't have to put quotes around the filename when you rename it, nor do you step 2b in the option 3 process. Easy as pie - try it.

Ok got my phone working great. Just will not reboot from quick boot app or from recovery. But can live with it as I said. But do have a question.... the rom I downloaded has Rom Manager in it. What I want to know is if I go and install Clockwork Recovery and then go to the bottom of Rom Manager there is a place to restore another recovery. And that installs Amon Recovery, which I have no problem with. Can I do this and then delete the Rom Manager so I never mess up my phone to the point where I cry most of the day thinking I have a $350.00 brick! Thank everyone for the help!

Oh Boy...Huge Error...Help Requested

Okay. I've search around and haven't found anything yet.
I recently got a new evo and rooted with the Unrevoked 3.0 beta RC2 yesterday. All was going well until I tried to upgrade to the CM 6.1.2 this morning. Google apps wasn't installed so I flashed the zip which put me in to a boot loop with Clockwork.
It was giving me an error when I tried to restore the backup. I tried to flash pc36img.zip and now whenever I go into recovery I am in RA-evo-v1.8 which I am unfamiliar with. I've tried installing other ROMs via this recovery but the prcess is aborted each time.
Any help would be more than appreciated. I am literally stuck.

Need any and all information about your phone. I also notice that you are new. The dev section isnt for Q/A there is an entire section dedicated to solving these issues. Please remember that next time. Keeps things cleaner. So please gather anything you can about your phone. Method, Hboot, Version, Radio, Anything that can help anyone here identify something.
Do you have the rom in the root of the usb card? If so try full data wipe and installing the room see if it boots up.
Thanks for the quick reply. Will remember. Desperation has gotten the better of me. I will move over to Q/A if you prefer.
HBOOT-2.10 0001

if your able to boot up into a rom download Rom manager and select flash clockworkMod recovery or flash alternate recovery thats prob gonna be the easiest fastest fix (considering it works)

I agree with this method... the best way to determine the recovery to use would be to go into the terminal and type
Code:
cat /proc/mtd
if you see "400000" then you need to get the clockwork v3.0.0.2 that supports this phone partion layout. If you see "20000" then you should get amon_ra 1,8 from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=705026
The information I gathered was from this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=894331
Making sure you have the correct recovery is the first step. Once that is done create a nandroid and save it somewhere to ensure that the wimax partition is saved.
You have to flash the modified version of Amon_ra found in Zikronix thread. You can find my thread that points to it or just search for hboot 2.10 and follow the instructions in that rooting thread. It seems you're already rooted so just flashing the recovery is probably all you will need.
I haven't used unrevoked, and I know there are several versions. But I have seen others who have used unrevoked and couldn't flash anything bc evidently the method they used to root didn't install the flash_image file on their phone.
I know that installing flash_image fixed being able to flash for some people who rooted with unrevoked.
This issue came up and I was able to help some people, if you check near the end of fastRX8 thread. But I was only able help point the right direction, they figured out the rest of the way. The OP there has the flash_image file and tells you what terminal commands to install it.
I don't know how for you to check if you gave it or not, as I can see mine on sd card cuz I put it there when I rooted.
Beyond this suggestion, lithid can probably help much better than I.
But def post your hardware version, root method, and hboot version (you see that when you go into bootloader and read the top line.

you should flash the pc36img.zip located at the bottom of zikronix's root thread. good luck. just put it on the root of ur sdcard named as pc36img.zip and boot into bootloader. accept the update, and say no to the reboot. then pick recovery, and flash a rom. you need to stay with this recovery if it works for you.

FIX BROKEN RECOVERY
This is really only needed if you rooted with one of the previos guides version 6 or lower or if you installed a different recovery like I told you not to.
1) Download File PC36IMG_Recovery.zip and Rename to PC36IMG.zip.
copy to the root of your SDCard and power off phone
2) Power your phone back on into the boot loader by holding power and vol-down until your presented with a white screen. It will read the pc36img.zip and as you if you want to flash. Say yes. Then it will ask if you want to reboot, VOL+UP for yes.
3) If your rom gets tossed in the process. Reboot your phone into bootloader select recovery, and reflash your rom....DONE

Were you restoring a backup or did you stuck on loop on a new rom flash?
i wasnt even trying to flash a rom yet. i was doing the very first nand backup so i could check some roms out. after the backup was complete it gave the option to power off so i did and when i turned my phone back on it was in the bootloader loop. so i went back to recovery, wiped everything, restored nand and i said it restored but when i rebooted it was back in the bootloader loop.so i just search around trying to get help but couldnt find much so i put sprintlovers since it boots up right when you turn your phone on. now it wouldnt even nand backup it said some error and was in the bootloader loop again so i just reinstalled sprintlovers, again
Try downloading an actual rom in zip format (not sprintlovers pc36img) and see if you can flash a new rom fresh. Make sure to wipe everything.
Try using Caulkings format all zip in recovery to wipe your caches.

Trouble with ClockworkMod 3.0.0.3.

I flashed the most recent ClockworkMod to my phone using ROM manager so I could do a ROM backup, and now my phone will not go into recovery mode. When I get into the boot menu and try to go into recovery, it goes into the splash screen and stays there.
Has anyone else had this happen with ClockworkMod 3.0.0.3? It took my phone quite a while to boot after that, and it put me into panic mode for a good moment.
I'll be flashing Amon_RA now to do my backup/ROM flashing. The latest updates to ClockworkMod keep doing crazy, crazy things to my poor EVO. Has anyone else experienced this?
YES! I was flashing a rom earlier tonight with the latest clockwork from rom manager and it messed up everything. Tried a bunch of different things. Still hangs on splash screen. How long did you have to wait?
yes also nothing wanted to flash had to go back to clockwm.. 2.5.0 where everything was petfect lol

I used the ClockworkMod from unrevoked
http://unrevoked.com/rootwiki/doku.php/public/forever
place the appropriate file on the root of the sdcard using a card reader and boot into HBOOT.
I got out of it by crossing my fingers and doing a battery pull, then booting normally. Thankfully it worked, so I had the chance to use ROM Manager to flash Amon_RA, but I can't guarantee it would work for everyone's.
hope this helps some one I went to appmarket and romanager and uninstalled update then went to app to flash back to older version 2.5

I hope so too. At this point I'd probably recommend that everyone with trouble either go back to 2.5 or even suggest switching to Amon_RA... nothing but problems with 3.0. !

[Q] Help! Red Triangle / Exclamation Mark!

You know that little voice that tells you to stop and think about what you are about to do....well I didn't 'listen. I have just enough experience to be dangerous....which is why I am writing this thread.
I have a rooted EVO. It was rooted with Unrevoked 3. I was using Clockwork and had flashed several ROMs. Most recently using CM7. I have Nandroid backups and all was well.
In a comedy of errors my original nandroid file was deleted so that I had no was of returning to the stock EVO ROM. I was trying to update CM7 so that i could use the GPS. To do thisI had to flash Sense based ROM so that I could use the MSD(??) and then reflash my CM7 and voila, your GPS works.
Well I couldn't get any new roms to work. I tried several and they all crashed. I then had the great idea to use RUU_Supersonic_1.32.651.1_Radio_1.39.00.04.26_release_171253.exe to restore my EVO back to stock. Bad idea.
I now have a phone that boots straight into Fastboot. I can choose bootloader and get to the HBOOT screen. When I choose the recovery it looks like all is well. The phone goes into the white HTC screen but then goes to a Red Triangle/Exclamation Mark screen. I can get out of this screen by pressing the power button and vol up button. It goes to and Android system recovery screen.
My choices are
reboot system now
apply sdcard: update.zip
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/command
I have tried placing the PC36IMG.zip (downloaded from xda) file in the root directory. I get a signature verification failed if I try to install the update file from any other custom ROMs. Installation aborted.
All I want is to get my phone back.
I currently have HBOOT 0.79.0000 with S-OFF
Please help

Download a pc36img.zip of a recovery, such as among RA 2.3, then put a rom.zip on your card as well....load the recovery through bootloader and once you get into recovery flash your rom

You'll have to update all of your radios as well since you used an old RUU.

"So you're saying there is still a chance." Thanks guys. I'll get on this today.
Just a quick question. Do I need to rename these files to "update-'file name'.zip" ?
Boot into the bootloader, with the attached zip file exactly as it is. Don't changed the name or extract it. Once in the bootloader, select yes to update, this is amon_ra 2.3 recovery. If you want clockwork recovery, let me know.
When I boot into the Boot Loader I get this:
HBOOT

Oh my GOSH! I finally got it! Thank you thank you thank you! I was using the wrong PC36img.zip file. Not really sure why there are several different versions of this...a newbie statement I'm sure.
The root script linked to in my sig can be used to update your phone if you wanted to use it for that, once it sees you have S-OFF it will skip all the rooting stuff and go straight to flashing the updated ROM radios and recovery. Afterward just use rom manager to flash clockwork and you'll be good to go.
edit: nm, just saw you got it
