been getting this error "E:cant mount /dev/block/mmcblk1p1 (or /dev/block/mmcblk1" with my g2 I cant flash from my sdcard or boot into os and when i restore a backup that I have using fast boot it just hangs when I try to boot up the system I do have clockwork recovery on the phone and adb access but cant mount the sd card please help thanks
A little punctuation please pal!? That was hard work to just read it.
OK, what are you trying to achieve? Is it just not booting under any condition?
... and you also cant restore a backup through "fastboot" or recovery?
Have you already tried a fresh flash of a ROM or is that a last resort to preserve data/apps?
Boot up into recovery > mounts and storage > Mount sd card > Flash a ROM or restore a backup.
I mean I'm just speculating, I've never had this problem before.
...and yeah wileykat's right, you can't restore from fastboot

Why couldn't you just use flashboot to flash the boot, system, and userdata partitions with your backup images? I thought flashing these types of partitions was the main purpose of the fastboot protocol to begin with. I hadn't heard that this doesn't work on the G2 (not sure why it wouldn't---is it something specific to the eng. hboot?).
And yeah, more details are probably needed to better understand the issue here.
I got it fixed. I had to bend the prongs on the sd card holder up to provide more contact. Thanks guys.
I am having the same error when I try to do a backup or rom upgrade. The strange part is that I can see the SD card in recovery mode......
nothing freezes on me, but EVERY single time (besides nandroid backup) I get that exact same message.
Does anyone have an actual answer? Like a workaround or something?
Or does it really matter as long as everything flashes
cheers
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

although i followed 2 threads
No-ADB-No-SD
&
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

hey the error of the recovery not being able to access memory card is gone, but now when within the android OS the problem is when connected to the computer the charge sign or even the prompt to mount as disk drive does not show in the notification
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

You have the USB brick issue. The misc partition gets corrupted.
If you search you will find the solution.

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
Hi All,
I have a problem with my SD card. My phone doesn't recognise SD card after I created ext4 partition through partition magic on windows 7. Here is what happened.
- I have rooted desire running CM 7.0.3.
- I wanted to go back to Starburst 1.4 rom.
- I have class 4 16 gb sd card (fat + ext3) with 512 mb of ext3 and rest fat32 (this was when everything was running good)
- I flashed the new rom through CWM, but only got like 54 mb on sd left.
- So I manually formatted ext3 and changed it to ext4 using partition magic on windows 7 (connected sd card through a reader).
- After that I flashed the new rom, but still got the same size left.
- After that I went back to CM7.0.3 which is working fine for me.
However, at this time, my phone doesn't recognise my SD card.
- I saw that I can't format ext in recovery as i get this error
E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p2(File exists)
Error mounting SDEXT: !
I believe I was able to install CM7.0.3 coz it was a small rom was fit directly into phone's internal memory.
At this time, I can't see my SD card on phone. Can't play music or install any files or anything.
Looking for some quick help.
Thanks,
Satyam

Hi Matt,
So are you saying that you got your SD card formatted by someone else using Rom Manager ?
- As of now, when I click on the inbuilt ROM Manager in CM7, it says " The SD Card needs to be mounted to use ROM Manager!"
That means my SD card is abviously not read by my phone.
Looking for some help. I don't want to do something silly at this time.
Atleast, as of now my phone is not bricked and is working, just the SD is not.
Any suggestions/comments or link to my problem is more than welcome.
Thank You
Hmmm, i smell another usb brick here, we've had so many these days, and all by people using cwm and flashing gb sense roms...just to prove i'm right, can you connect the phone to your pc? If you're not able to do that, then u have 100% chance it's a usb brick.
OMG !! yeah you're right.. now when I connected my phone using a USB, it doesn't give me the option to "mount USB".
What do to from here ? I don't know what is a USB brick and am pretty poor with linux commands !!!
Plz help.. However I can see a a couple of ROMs through recovery mode in my SD card, but can't flash those which require an EXT.
Plz help !!!!!

Hi,
Are you saying that formatting SD card and making fresh ext partition through a media reader will not help in this case ?
I am very confused so to say.. I read the link that you posted, it talks about CID which I'm not able to find.. Can't see that option in fast boot (recovery).
Is there some other way to fix all this ?
Any more tricks/ suggestions are more than welcome..
Please see detailed info about my issue in the post

Nope: i'm sorry but there is no other way...the problem lies in the misc partition, and that one doesn't get touched by simply toying with your sd, it's on nand, and no rom flashing/nandroid restore can touch it either. This process is the only way to go. CID can be obtained via adb command, i hope you'll have it installed and set up correctly.
i just fixed my brick lol . i found out bcuz i coulnt enable bluetooth

Hi,
Okay I get it.. I need to fix my nand partition, now question -
1) I can figure out the 1st step "Find out your CID. Go into fastboot mode, and do 'fastboot oem boot" - Nothing happens when I click on fast boot option in recovery mode. The other method CID generator also asks for CID.. how do I get that.. that's my biggest question.
2) How can I see the rom version.
I know, I might me sounding stupid, but I'm not a pro.. used to love flashing new ROMs earlier and this time I just messed it up.
Need some step-by-step help.. I might be asking for too much, but I trust this forum and believe Android has too many fans hooked to it.. so I will get some help

Also just want to let the forum know that I'm running a custom ROM (CM 7) and don't see the option of software info under Settings>About phone. Any other way to find out rom version ???????/
Ok, sorry man, i was out for a ride
To see the CID you have to type "fastboot oem boot" in the terminal, after navigating to the path where you have the sdk, for example:
"cd c:/sdk/tools"
"fastboot oem boot"
Then you should get all the info, together with the CID ofc...obviously you need to have adb installed and working in order to do that (there ia a lot of tutorials for that, just use the search function).
As to rom version, you don't need it, just download the mtd0.img, open it with the hex editor and mod it with your CID, then go for the next step
I dont believe you have bricked your phone, i think you have created a partition on it without making it a primary partition along with the fat32 parition.
boot into recovery and mount your SD card to your PC. Reformat the whole card and then it should work again, you may just be able to go into your partition software and amend to show 'primary' on each, if not read on. Couple of options then, download ROM manager from the market and reformat the ext3 using rom manger if not do it via your windows software but make sure both partitions are set to 'Primary'.

It's a usb brick, not a plain brick: when you plug it to pc the phone usually doesn't even light up the led.

hi, seems you got bad partition on your sd card, since it s normal that you can't mount sd while plug on usb.
did you already put out your sd card out the phone and try to read it with a usb scard reader plug on your computer??
cid error mean you have messed-up your misc partition which is the one in your nand where the recovery is located... didn't see any error about this in your thread...
in the boot, should fail with error misc partiton cid unknown etc...
have a try about sd card reader it's easer than misc error fix
give a try on this site and try using gparted cd live... don't need to be expert in linux command (it s a graphical interface) should you know that FIRST FAT32 PRIMARY partition and LAST EXT3 (is less fast but really more stable and relyable fs) PRIMARY partition

Fixing misc doesn't take more than a minute if you have a working adb...repartitioning micro sd card takes loads of time instead, especially if it's big, coz you have to backup all of your data then copy them back, and that's a pain, especially if the sd isn't very fast.
Anyway you might be right there, just the other day a guy had a similar issue caused by multiple ext partitions not being recognized properly. I just thought it was a usb brick coz it's very common since the new gb sense roms rolled out and people started partitioning like crazy with cwm (which really SUCKS at that), and this either cause misc corruption or messed partitions on sd card: i'd suggest everyone to partition with amon them flash back any 3.0+ cwm to flash the rom, if you don't have the chance of using linux live cd (but you really should).
All sorted --------- RESLOVED !!!!
Okay Listen all Desire Owners-- I was able to fix this USB brick without having to go through all which was available on internet..
What I did -
1) Came home and formatted my EXT4 to ext3 and simply reflashed cm7 rom
All worked like charm - Now My SD card is mountable and works perfectly
Good for you
Anyway make sure you set up adb properly on your pc, it will save your life some day: it takes a while but it's worth it...i wouldn't get inti the rom flashing thing without it. Just a suggestion
Bests.
Since I didn't have a sdcard, I changed vold.fstab so it would think emmc is an sdcard. When I tried to reverting the changes, I screwed up, and both my storage options said unavailable. So I tried to fix it by re flashing and what not, and that messed up my phone because I couldn't access emmc still and I didn't have an sdcard. So now I can only access hboot and fastboot. If I don't hold volume it gets stuck at the white htc incredible screen. If i try to use clockworkMod recovery 5.0.2 it says
E: Invalid command argument<br/>
E:Cna't mount /cache/recovery/log<br/>
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/log<br/>
E:can't mount /cache/recover/last_log<br/>
etc etc..
I've tried RUU but it said it can't update it.
I don't have a sd card, but I've updated it by putting an update on emmc, I can't get to it though! Is there a way I can flash a stock rom with fastboot from my computer? I DLed plenty of stock roms. I really need my phone back because I have to sell this laptop and I won't have any Internet access without it. I tried messing with fastboot flashall but I don't want to mess it up anyfurther.
Any suggestions anyone? I'm in desperate need of help.
After doing more research, I need to use sdparted to get all my partitions back in order.
In cwm I can mount /emmc and I'm thinking I can use adb push to place a zip there and run an update from cwm.
The thing is, using adb devices, the phone serial doesn't show up.
I don't think I can get to it without enabling usb debugging (I've used eclipse so the drivers are installed already).
I'm running out of options here. I think getting an sdk card is the only option I have left now. which will take 3 days to get
here
i have installed roms from EMMC. as long as CWM can see the contents it should be no different than installing from SD Card. of course your issue seems to be how to get files onto the EMMC without a booting OS.
so in that case, you should invest a dollar and just buy an SD Card.

Thanks for replyin
Ok, here is the problem, i woke up today, my phone battery was empty, i connected the phone battery was loading, but i couldn't get to the system, after kernel load it stops, like there was no system installed. Everything worked fine day before,my configuration was: Doomkernel and Existenz_2.0.5 ROM.
So, i got to recovery (recovery works,CWM), and there i saw "can't mount cache" error. I got into shell with adb (this works too), and there is no way i can mount any system partition (/system, /cache, /data), what's more important /sdcard does not mount either. So, i'm in recovery, can't install or restore from sdcard,cause /sdcard does not mount.
I'v tried sideload, no go.
I've tried fastboot flash new kernel, and here's interesing thing, fastboot reported that flashing was ok, but i still have Doomkernel (i was trying to flash 6.0-TUX-Core-HD kernel. So seems like fastboot did not write anything at all.
I've tried flashtool with stock tft. It breaks with "final verification error", when i turn "final verification off" it goes all the way, says everything is installed, but when i restarted, still only Doomkernel.
Any ideas ? I take any advice.
Maybe you have already tried it, but format your phone's data, THEN the cache, and finally the internal storage (SD card). In XS's CWM, there's a bug, which causes sometimes an unformatable and unusable cache parition. But this method can be help on this. Maybe this problem causes those unformatable partitions.

Thank you for your reply. Haven't tried that but i have now and, unfortunately, no go. With /data and /cache seems like format was success but it didn't ( still can't Mount) and with /sdcard format fails (error mounting /sdcard).
Maybe my sdcard really died ?

Well, I don't think so. The "SD Card" is a part of the memory chip, which includes the system, the data and the cache partitions too. Because you cannot copy anything now to the internal storage, try to install a ROM from ADB Sideload if you can. Once it done, your phone can be boot maybe again. If it happens, try to format the internal storage by the Android. If it fails, connect the phone to your computer, and try to format with Windows or (it can be better) Linux to fat32 filesystem.

Thank you for your ideas. Thing is, all i can start is cwm recovery. As i wrote, i can't install anything with sideload. And no partition is working. When i start parted /dev/block/mmcblk and try to list partitions, i get unrecognized disk label error, when i try to manually set disk label to msdos, there's I/O Error.
And i can't format sdcard, because when in recovery, phone is not detected by Linux nor Windows. But i tried formatting partitions internally, with mke2fs, and with fastboot command. No go.
I know that /sdcard is just a partition, but what i meant was that probably my phone memory chip died, like hardware died. but i'm still looking for new ideas i want to try everything before giving up.

Then maybe it's a HW error really. But maybe just the partition table is corrupted. At this point, I don't know. I have only one suggestion left: Take the phone to the nearest SONY Center or GSM shop/service to investigation. But I think they will say you'll need to replace the phone's motherboard. Anyway, it's an too expensive solution I think, because this phone is a "retired" modell without any update, but with a "blacksheep (Snapdragon S3) SoC.
