E: Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk1p2 (File exists)

In Recovery (2.5.0.5) I get the error E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk1p2 (File exists) Everything seems to work except nothing happens when I wipe battery stats. I have tried messing around with parted but it says it doesn't exist and doesn't let me create a new one. Does anyone know what the problem is or how to fix it?
I'm thinking it might have happened when i updated my recovery to 2.5.1.1 But I'm not sure. Thanks.

Check out my sig.

Thanks. I'm backing up my SD card now to try that. Does the new partition need to be that big? I don't move apps to my SD card and right now only have a 2 gig card.

Probably not. I have an 8 gig and like to plan for the future. Feel free to trim it, then let me know if it works and what size you used.

Thanks. That was quick and painless. I was able to make the SD ext partition 128mb. That's the smallest size it allowed.
I'm like you. Seeing any error really bugs me.

Just a further question on that... I have read PonsAsinorem's sig and I understand what is going on, but what I don't understand is how app2SD froyo style is working: it lets me "move" my apps to the SD card from within Froyo, although there is no such /sd-ext partition in my SD card. Does it mean that in fact it is not really moving the apps to the SD card? I am a little bit puzzled here...
Thanks,

I haven't toyed around with apps2sd extensively. I don't have that many and they read quicker off internal, if only slightly, so that is where I keep them. Also makes it easier to flash ROMs (I'm a firm believer in wiping all data and remnants of the previous ROM). I also didn't come onto the Android scene till rift before Froyo so I was a rookie. Which is what this MIGHT be, a fragment of 2.1, or even earlier, left behind for compatibility purposes. I don't have enough background to answer this with certainty.

The apps2sd implementation for our phone doesn't actually move it to our sd card, it moves it to emmc (internal storage) instead and doesn't require an ext partition.

Hi, I have Galaxy s and i had the same error message so I did as explained... but now my phone get stuck on defalt recovery screen and when I try to select "apply sdcard:update.zip" it says "E:can't open /sdcard/update.zip (No such file or directory) Installation aborted"...
what I understand is that the instructions for formatting the SD card wiped all the data including update.zip file.
Now my phone is no more usable, it get stuck on main default recovery(not clockwork) :-(
Please hepl me.. I know Its a another phone section but please help me if you can
Thank you in advance

Error Solve
I use "Paragon Partition Manager" to solve this problem with my sd-ext
make sd-ext to 3 partitions
First partition
for keep your data set file system to FAT32
Second partition
create new partition size beteen 32 - 40MB and file system is Linux Swap
Third parition
create new partition size around 517MB and file system is Linux Ext2
Done!!

I tried solving my problem just as described in the link above. I thought that it had been because I had partitioned my SD with too big a partition, 2 Gig. I resized my partition, exactly like described using AmonRa, without any problems except that the error still remained. I tried it again but this time with Clockwork. Again no success. I finally gave up and re-partitioned it with AmonRa and my original 2 Gig EXT partition. Finally success! I dont know if attempting with different recoveries did something but it worked and it worked with a 2 Gig EXT partition. Hope this helps someone else.

SDcard Partition

Hi everyone. At the start i want to say i'm a complete noob. I'vo got root and everything needed. So i partitioned my card(4gb) in Minitool wizard. Everything is fine but still i've got only 14mb free. I installed link2sd and still the same. Then i tried to partition it in cwm and still is the same! i tried to install Data2sdV2withA2sdremover_by_jikantaru.zip for cm9 but it stopped at htc logo. Thank God i had a backup. I don't know how to do it that the partition size will appear in the internal memory. I tried everything but s**i. PLEASE HELP ME :crying: One more time i am a COMPLETE N00B.

OK try this get SDFormatter v3.1 and format the card to FAT32(quick format is fine) with format size adjustment ON.
Replace card in fone and then use cwm recovery to create any ext partition you require.
Hope it works.

No, you will need to create an ext partition with cwm and then install some data2sd script.
Don't know what rom you are using but best to go the rom thread and see which one is best for you.
If you are on ICS it's worth reading the wiki page on data2sd.
I have always used amarultz's script without issues. There is a zip version which can be installed via cwm.

[Q] Is my Wildfire Bricked ? orange/green blink

Hi Guys
I have a relly rare problem with my phone. The main problem is that i can't charge it. When I put it on the charger for probbably 10 sec. is charging (orange indicator) but then start blinking orange/green.
I tried also connect to PC, result is the same.
I thought that the problem will be in battery, but today at work I tried college battery and the problem is still the sme.
The funniest thing is, that I can turn - on my phone, get into boot-loader etc, but when i try to turn it on, it starts loading everything work's fine, but just begore the system is loaded (i can see the status bar, loading sd card), the phone shut down.
I really don't know what to do. I tried hard reset, restore backup from original HTC OS, turn on with/without sd card .... i think that everything
Could you help me somehow ?
Thanks
PS: sorry for my english
My boot loader is HBOOT-6-01.1002
RADIO-3.35.20.10
and i'm using Cyanogen Mod 7.03

try without the sdcard! sounds like something may be corrupt on it. if it all works fine without the card then i think a format is necessary ...... this will delete all sdcard data so make a backup 1st then start transfering needed things back slowly, testing a reboot on each new folder etc transfered. or run a disk check of sdcard on pc.
you could also try a fresh flash of the rom too.

Alright, looks familiar btw (exactly like mine lol) - did you have an ext partition? If not: any apps on sd? You said that you flashed the ROM again - did you format or wipe the system partition before? (If you run into ROM related probs most of the time it won't help just to flash the ROM over because the problems might resist).

Yes, i moved many apps on sd-card (i probbably don't have any ext partition,but not sure)
After new flash (if it mean's instaling new from from sd card) i used wipe dalvik cache, but after installation, not before.
So could you tell mr kind of step by step introductions what should I do, because i'm not really good in this stuff :-/
Thanks

Try flashing the rom again but with full wipes, not just dalvik cache. But also cache, data & system. After you do the wipes reflash your rom (and Gapps if needed). This will delete all your apps, SMSs and contacts though...

So i wiped data/factory reset, wipe cache partition, wipe dalvik cache, then installed cyanogen mod 7.2.0, but the problem still persists.
Now i think the problem will be somewhere with the apps on sd-card, because before the phone shut down, i can see in status bar text "preparing sd card" ....
Is there anything else i can do ?
and i didn't try flashing gapps, because i dont know what to do ? ... i need to download some zip and install it from sd ? or ?
Thanks

yes: remove those apps (you could do a backup with titanium backup) and try again. You did mention that earlier - a full wipe seems pretty useless if you leave parts that interact on a FAT32 partition... (or do you use an ext partition?).
If you start fresh without any apps on sd you could at least exclude this from the list of possible causes
To make this clear: from my experience there rarely will be one single easy action you could do to solve a persistant problem. Therefore most of the time it helps to follow all the steps of those procedures very careful, systematic and throw lazyness over board
So I'd do a full wipe/new install following this procedure:
format /system, /data
wipe /dalvik-cache, /cache
wipe all/factory reset
flash ROM
flash gapps
reboot without sdcard first (just to make sure)
and i didn't try flashing gapps, because i dont know what to do ? ... i need to download some zip and install it from sd ? or ?
Click to expand...

You'll need the correct gapps for your Android version and flash it right after flashing the ROM (has to be done as gapps are freely available by Google but aren't allowed to include into custom ROMs due to licences)
Gapps could be found here: http://goo.im/gapps

So i will try full / wipe (new installation)
I just don't know what you mean by "format /system, /data" and how to do it ... is it somewhere in recovery mode ? or there is any app for it ?
"(or do you use an ext partition?)" - not sure I created somthing probabbly like that, because i wanted to move my apps on sd card ... but not sure ... i'm pretty lame in this stuff.

yes, depends on your version where to find it - it's at "mounts and storage" / "format" here (if I'm not mistaken - sorry too lazy to go there now)

if you "created something" or have all your apps on sd you most probably have an ext partition which you should format/wipe, too, then (after backing up your apps...)

didn't help
formated /system, /data /sd-ext
wipe /dalvik-cache, /cache
wipe all/factory reset
then installed rom from zip , after that i installed google aps, turn it off (because of inserted sd card) than turn it on without sdcard .... but problem is still the same

Use the guide in my signature. First to unroot and S-ON. Then wipe SD card.
Then root again (also in sig), hopefully it'll be gone.

Try to change your charger/data cable..may be its a charging port fault.

good idea. Having this said it might also be a good idea to carefully check your micro USB slot (this also causes a faulty behaviour with the car dock app sometimes) - you could give it a blast with compressed air to blow out particles (but be careful not to blow the stuff inside the phone).

[Q] E:unknown volume for path [/sd-ext]

Anytime I wipe Dalvik Cache I get the following message.
E:unknown volume for path [/sd-ext]
I haven't altered any of the settings in my phone (that I know of) and I seem able to read from my sd card just fine so I don't think it's negatively affecting anything but I'd like to know why I get this and what it means.
Thanks in advance.

iYeah thanks for asking that question, I've been meaning to ask that too except I get that when I nandroid, anything else is fine. It tells me that or it tells unable to read find extsd etc. My memory is fat32 and my cwm and rom support both fat and extfat.

Guys Please help. Unable To Mount... error. Tried everythng. Video given.

I have watched a lot of tutorials but nothing is working please someone help
I made a video of the problem and what I tried. Can anyone understand what happened
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VaN-y-Worlg
Update: In Data i Changed the file system and went back to original. Didn't work.
I even wiped system. But i guess the only problem is to fix the "data". Since it shows 0 Mb size. But i can't find any way or guide. The ones i did find are too advanced and use cmd commands and toolkits which i don't think an inexperienced user like me should be following.
Some background information: i attempted to install Open gApps and enable Camera2 API. I Entered "read only" mode.
The adb shell commands for enabling it wasn't working (some "proprietary" something shown )
So I tried another method. I downloaded the latest Magisk and flashed it. Then i tried gApps. I don't remember when i started to think what went wrong but yeah..

I found this and I think it may be related.
But I don't understand it properly.

Why did you wipe internal storage? And what are you trying to mount. If you are trying to install a new rom all you need to wipe is cache, dalvik, system and data. Wiping internal storage removes everything from the internal SD card and if you do this then you have no OS.

At this point i can't care less about the data in internal storage. I just need to flash the official MIUI ROM back, enable Camera2 API and live in peace. At this moment I'm halfway through downloading the ROM but I'm not sure if i can flash it due to the Mount Issue of internal storage. I plan on transferring it to my micro SD card and flashing it from there to System Image. Will it work? And Internal Storage formatting failed in case you didn't notice. Practically nothing worked except the file system change of "data". And even that didn't fix the unable to Mount issue.
