Hi. So i was bored of my current rom and decided to change it. I got into recovery mode. Mounted the sd card and put the other file in. When i went to update from sdcard it said cannot mount sd card. So i did the fastboot oem enableqxdm 0 and it said finished. I tried going to install from sdcard and it says the same. My pc can access the sdcard without problems when i mount from clockwordmod recovery
Any help?

How can i flash a different recovery? Is it possible if i have a usb brick? And i did make a partition for the rom i was using, if that helps you
Yes, download image and flash it via terminal emulator from market.
Open terminal
Su

Hello,
I have a PVT4 Desire with erasezize 40000
I am rootes and s-off
Recovery : Clockworkmod Alpharev Recovery 2.5.1.8
After i switch from Starburst Rom to a normal apps2sd+ rom, i got this:
E: Can´t mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 (File exists)
Error everytime in Recovery.
This error comes before i have to confirm the wipe of the dalvik cache.
I unrooted the phone with a official RUU and rooted it again and did s-off again,
but the error still exists.
Stock Rom is working, recovery is working, but i am afraid of flashing a new rom
Please help
Thank you
Do you still have the ext partition? I believe this is the error that you get when there is no ext partition.
no, i don´t have a ext partition, because it is a rooted stock rom running now without apps2sd+
its a new sdcard fat 32
do you mean if i create a new ext partition on the sd card, the error disappers ??
Yes but i don't know if there is any point in doing that.
ok, i created a new ext 3 partition on the sd card, but the error still exists
I found the exact error in a different thread here.
They managed to solve it
dunno if its of ne help....but i had the same prob of "E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcbld0p2 (file exists)" with my HTC Desire with cynogen recovery mod and leedroid.
phone was getting stuck at boot screen. only recovery was working. i unmounted the SD card, deleted the ext3 partition through Disk Management in windows and mounted the card again. Now, android booted (but without A2SD) i downloaded ROM Manager and used the option "partition SD card" and like a miracle, the phone rebooted, partitioned my SD card, and rebooted back to android (this time WITH A2SD working!!!)
hope it gets as easy as this for u guys as well.
(P.S. : before A2SD, my internal space showed 92.4 mb, after A2SD started functioning, internal memory showed 130.2 mb)
PVT4 Desire's can't use CWM - they have to use AmonRA as highlighted in the stickied at the top of the General thread
stuck in bootloop, with same error in recovery
i have somehow managed to screw the device, it wont boot stuck at htc white screen, id really appreciate if you could help, i cant manage to get adb setup on my computer to list the connected devices maybe the driver issues
what i did to get into this was this:
1.i was using a custom rom from Auraxtsense 8.3 with Amon.RA recovery
2.i got into Rom Manager n install clockworkmod recovery just out of curiosity, the next reboot i was stuck on the htc screen
3.i can get into recovery n stuff, but i cannot mount my SD card, ive somehow managed to get my data out of the card by using it from another phone
steps tried:
1.i tried to go into fastboot n use a RUU to flash it but i got a Error 171 usb connection error
2.tried using Android fastboot commander but it fails to flash any type of file
i cannot understand the right process to go about things please help me, even if i can setup adb with the right drivers, access it from hboot or so push files make it stock then root n stuff again
formatted the sdcard totally to fat32 also n then tried via recovery to partition n all no luck

Usb Brick Function
but jus used the command n formatted memory card n stuff worked not i couldnt move those 2 files mentioned here to the system since cat commands couldnt work
im still unsure device seems restored using my earlier rom from AuraxtSense with Data2SD
i still wonder if it completely fixed, n whether i should go ahead n create a goldcard, n like i need a guide to know what are the perfect things to do to keep as backup when such stuff happens

in short i need to mount my memory card on the computer n the android OS cannot figure out how, is there somethin that may still be locked, i issued a command earlier from fastboot to get the earlier problem go

hey thanks, i tried here
i need some help
Code:
3. Get flash_image from the attached files below
Move this to /data/ , and flash the modified image using:
"/data/flash_image misc /data/mtd0.img"
You can move both mtd0.img and flash_image by putting it on your sdcard, and issueing the following command in a terminal emulator:
'cat /sdcard/flash_image > /data/flash_image'
'cat /sdcard/mtd0.img > /data/mtd0.img'
You might have to do 'chmod u+x /data/flash_image' before you run the commands (or chmod 755 /data/flash_image)
4. Repeat step 3 a couple of times if it doesn't seem to work well.
5. All done! Reboot, you should have normal usb connectivity. Post your 'fastboot oem boot' log and intermediate steps if it fails.
i got the 2 files on my sdcard, im rooted but S-ON, i tried the 3 commands
cat /sdcard/flash_image > /data/flash_image
cat /sdcard/mtd0.img > /data/mtd0.img
chmod u+x /data/flash_image
in terminal emulator on phone, but when i press enter jus shows # again
then tried /data/flash_image misc /data/mtd0.img
says illegal instruction or somethin as an error
can you help me if im doin this rite? i browsed the /data/ folder via a ESFile Browser it seemed to be empty
I had this issue with my SD using, i solved it. Just partition your SD with 512mb for ext2 primary and the rest for fat32 WITH ALSO primary partition, I was using FAT32 Primary and EXT Logical, thats why i got the error =)
Hope it helps, and sorry for my bad english
hi guys, im also getting the following error... E:cant mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p2
i have searched for days now trying to find the solution, i see something about adb and command lines etc but i have no idea how to do that!
plus i see that it means that ineternal partitions are somehow messed up, but i only get this error with one of my sd cards.. my old one works fine. so surely it is a sd card problem,
i have so far tried partitoning with cwm recovery, in windows, using gparted and no luck.. as anyone found a definate solution yet?!
thanks

hey i had this problem a few weeks back
refer this thread just to get the update.zip file
1.format your SD card to FAT32, put update.zip on it
2.boot into fastboot, connect usb cord to phone n computer
to get into fastboot mode
press volume down + power held for a few seconds when phone is off
then press volume down once n enter fastboot
then connect the phone to the computer
3.on the computer run command prompt n browse to the director with android SDK n go into the tools folder
execute this command
Code:
fastboot oem enableqxdm 0
4.once this is done, the SD card is then recognized by the recovery
5.now reboot go back into recovery from the same volume down+power sequence n then say flash zip from SD card
to get into recovery
vol down + power at start n then select recovery (having access to recovery is important)
then choose flash zip from sd n flash the file update.zip from your sd card
basically the fastboot command n format of the sd card should be fine to let you flash a new ROM zip file n get the phone started
but the issue is actually called a USB brick in which, you lose access to bluetooth, battery drains a lot, n there is no way to access mem card via usb on the computer its not recognized
hence i flashed this update file from that forum there, which describes the fix in detail
i wiped and formatted everything on my phone and i dont have an external sdcard anymore and my phone wont boot. i have cwm recovery and i can enter that but it shows in mounts and storage that everything is unmounted. I can mount them all except sdcard and sd-ext
i downloaded a RUU and tried to manually flash the system image back to the phone but it says its "FAILED <remote: not allowed>"
does anyone have a tutorial i can follow or provide me some instructions on what to do, it would be very helpful
thanks

If you dont have an sdcard, there is no way to do an ruu or flash a rom, unless you already have a rom on your emmc. You will need to get an sdcard, load a PB31IMG.zip ruu, and flash it thru hboot. Or put a rom on an sd and flash it thru recovery.
thats what i thought, any way to adb push to emmc?

I only recently realised that CWM stores backups in .ext3.tar format instead of a .img format. When I search for a way to use adb for recovery, i've only found ways to use a system.img file but not an ext3.tar file. Is there any way to perform a recovery if I have a system.ext3.tar file using adb? or anything else?

Actually, on the Droid Incredible, system.img should be the format for the system partition. .ext3.tar sounds ok for /data and /cache but not /system.
After verifying the image is for the right device you could format system and untar it to /system after mounting it. Again, I don't think this will work on the incredible as CWM creates .img files for system.
Why can't you use recovery directly anyway?
I can't get into recovery so I'm trying to use it through fastboot. Didn't quite understand can I use the .ext3.tar as an .img?

No. You'd need cwm or adb. Did you already try reflashing recovery in fastboot so you could get to it?
If that doesn't work you may need to ruu.

This should be it at cmlusco's site in PB31IMG.zip format.

Thanks you've been very helpful. I'm downloading the PB31img.zip now. Would flashing the pb31img.zip be the same as flashing the RUU? You wouldn't by chance have a link on how I can flash the PB31img.zip would you? Again, thank you

Place it in the main sdcard folder and then reboot into HBOOT which is hold vol down while turning on the phone. and if it doesn't get picked up, check if the sdcard is formatted as FAT32.
I forgot to mention if you do an RUU update or flash stock via the PB31IMG, it will wipe your internal storage(emmc). You will lose root but not s-off.
Here's a good link for you:

Even though it is already fat32, it is sometimes necessary to reformat it again to get hboot to find the file. Just back it up to a pc, reformat it fat32, and then place only the PB31IMG.zip file on the sdcard and try again.
Hello.
I have problem with my phone, i format all memory, and now i have no recovery or any rom to flash it,from what i know and read, only option for me is ADB sideload rom to phone, cause like now i can only go in fastboot, flash new recovery, that it.
The problem is, i think only twrp have ADB sideload function, and .......i can't use it, touch don't work in twrp, volume up/down also do nothing. is there any other method to put rom on card in phone ? Also i can't connect phone to my pc, for some reasons computer don't see my phone, i'm able to flash new recovery through cmd, but can't make pc to see phone as usb mass storage. So now i stuck. anyone have something similar ? And figure out how to put rom in memory card ?

How in the World you managed to do so???
Erasing recovery???
Well, I never used ADB push. The easiest way is to flash Philz recovery again, mount sd card and copy the ROM.zip to sd card.
And why double posting problems. Old thread is only 3 days old
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2582565
Flash this recovery
https://www.dropbox.com/s/yqzlpqo8illa53j/Philz recovery 5.15.9.img
And do whats been told. Mount the sdcard in the mounts and storage menu. Wait a couple of minutes (yes literally minutes) it will pop up !
And if you did search the twrp thread (touch not working) you would have found the repacked 2.4.0.0 -JB twrp recovery. It's been discussed there many......many times !

i can't do it cause in recovery i can't mount phone as storage so i can't put rom on it. having only recovery give me nothing if i'm not able put rom in phone. if problem will be only recovery, then i wouldn't bother you guys. my main problem is that pc don't see phone, all drivers are installed, yet nothing works.

i try viper, cm11,project x revolution, always had error 7
i put rom on sd card in phone, flash boot img, shut down, disconnect cable, boot in recovery, wipe and stuff, install rom, error 7, i never disconnect cable during installation, i even don't touch phone more than i need to.
Its the recovery i guess. Have you tried this.....rom is now on the phone so that problem is done. Flash the 5.15 recovery and install the rom.zip.......spit out ideas and thinking out loud.....these are all things to test.

I tried to flash an incomplete .zip as a ROM and now I'm stuck. I know how to use fastboot and adb (I think) and I can't seem to find a recovery that allows for me to place a new ROM onto my SD card. If I use TWRP, then the recovery loads but does not register any touches. If I use the JB version then, ADB sideloading doesn't work.
Is there any way I could get a new ROM onto my SD card?
