[Q] Cannot mount SD Card(clockworkmod)

Hi Experts,
I am getting serious problem in my clockworkmod recovery, I am not able to mount the card because of which I am not able to install any ROM, the thing is that I do not have any ROM installed on my phone so cannot go out from boot/recovery window.
I am getting error like when I try to open SD directory from recovery
can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0
Please help I tried searching the thread but could not find any good solution.
Formatted the SD-card card also but no success

I am having the same problem here

Plz help expert , I tried to use another sd card also although it was old with 128 mb space but same error was shown in recovery,
it is the case the the sd port might have been corrupted?
then i think the phone is gone
plz help

Plz help guys...no one to suggest something ...m thinking of taking the phone at service center....but u i think warranty is void now ...as it is rooted...

ok soz i just read 1st post carefully, will help you momentairly
also i need to know is your phone S-OFF ?? (did you do the alpharev procedure or just unrevoked)
you must set up ADB on your pc : http://theunlockr.com/2009/10/06/how-to-set-up-adb-usb-drivers-for-android-devices/ you dont need to do steps 3-5 since you already have the drivers (the same as rooting), you must download the ADB files from 'update' part after the step six, and dont do ADB devices cmd, do 'fastboot devices' while in fastboot mode (back+power) to check if you get a serial number (if yes it works if not you didnt do it right way)
when done, put your phone into fastboot mode (back+power) and in windows command prompt do :
fastboot oem enableqxdm 0
this should fix your SD, then go into recovery and check if you can mount your SD (USB storage) to use it in windows, if yes you are good if not that is an USB-brick, it is fixable so dont worry

Thanks for the help .... Will try this ASAP....hope it helps
Also my phone is NOT S-OFF...Do i need this before proceeding or can I solve the issue like this..??

you dont need S-OFF and, if you have USB-brick i dont think you can make this procedure
first, do what i told you (set up adb and enable your sd card) and check if your phone has any usb-connectivity
also this will help you - How to set up pc to use adb and fastboot (if you wont make it with unlockr method)

thank dzumagos
I am now able to to mount SD card and able to see all files
but wen I run them thru recovery it show..
opening package.. then updating package.. then it returns to main screen of CWM recovery... does nothing ...this is happeing with all the zip files...

are you 100% sure the .zip file are OK ?
try downloading Oxygen ROM and flashing it.
also i do understand you can connect your phone with computer with USB cable [with USB storage enabled in recovery, does the windows see the FAT partition on sdcard] ?

check your md5 sums - or flash another recovery

Yes the zip files are OK i already installed them before (RCmixS)
but wen i mount from recovery the usb is not seen in windows...
but now m able to see the files in sd in recovery but cannot install ROM thru it..or run any zip file

usb brick ? Usb cannot be seen by windows?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=691187

If i insert USB separately thru adapter it can be seen but wen the mount thru recovery it is not seen..does this mean it has bricked ..windows says cannot recognize mass storage device...

plz help guys still no gain...cant install rom...

firstly lets try to flash a rom
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=839640&highlight=clockworkmod
download clockworkmod 3.0.0.5 ZIP file and put it onto your SD
then boot into recovery and flash the downloaded CWM.zip, it should now boot up into clockworkmod 3.0.0.5
now try flashing a ROM (rcmixs or some AOPS - Oxygen or CM7)
you can also try with clockworkmod 3.2.0.1 (but 3.0.0.5 is better imho)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1039954&highlight=clockworkmod
now hopefully you will have a bootable device. now the usb-brick.
all you need to know is in the 1st posts of this two threads
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=691639
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1143252&highlight=usb-brick
also in the second thread there is 'visionary+' mentioned but you do not need it, since you are rooted already.
both threads describe the same method, read them and you will know what to do.
good luck
-----------------------
if for any reason you cant flash a ROM with a diffrent recovery then im outta ideas. someone else would have to figure out why cant you flash a ROM (not being able to flash a rom has got nothing to do with usb-brick)
just to be safe, try with oxygen.
----------------------
and if nothing works you could try a RUU (put phone into fastboot and then run the .exe file on PC and it will work) this should restore you to a Stock unrooted rom, but the USB-Brick will still be there, so you would need to do the method from 2nd thread with visionary+ to gain temp root

thanks a lot dzumagos
for all the help...will try it ...

simply try to change the recovery with unrevoked , download amonra recovery and it should work

But doesnt changing the recovery with unrevoked works when u have a ROM install...
As I do not have any ROM installed can I change the Recovery.....
the thing is I rooted the phone long back and now I forgot how I did it....need to search it ...
Also when I run CWM 3.0.0.5 thru recovery it changes to 3.0 but wen i reboot the recovery again CWM 2.5 comes
y is that so ??

yes it is the way it is supposed to be
it is called 'fake-flash' which means CWM 3.0.0.5 is flashed temporairly. so it is gone after a reboot. to flash it permanently you would have to be S-OFF which you are not but that is not a problem.
anyway were you able to flash a ROM using 3.0.0.5 or does is act the same as 2.5.0.7 ???? did you try with Oxygen rom ??

[Q] Kernel flash "bricked" my phone

Hello,
I just flashed Matr1x's kernel (1.5 - BFS) with Android Revolution 2.1.0.
Now my "Google" logo bootloops and I cannot get into the system.
Tried to go via the recovery menu to mount USB storage and then copy a fresh Android Revolution installation on the storage.
What do I do now?
EDIT:
Error code:
E: Unable to open ums lunfile (No such file or directory)

Click to collapse

Next time create a backup before playing.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1400443

Not sure what the error message is about but to get it to boot again you could either flash the zip for Revolution HD again or unzip it and take the boot.img file and fastboot flash it.

Thanks man!! Worked like a charm

This happened to me too. You can't mount as USB storage in recovery because the phone does not support it. If this ever happens again, all you have to do is flash things through fastboot

You can push via ADB, but the phone must be in recovery mode.

[Q] CWM and command file

I am trying to install a custom rom an my HTC one X using only my pc. I got it to automaticly install the boor.img file etc.. but only the install of the rom itself using CWM recovery is giving me some trouble...
I can add some commands to /cache/recovery/command and CWM will execute those when it is booted in recovery, but i can't find anywhere what kind of arguments the CWM recovery can handle...
I tried:
--wipe_data
--wipe_cache
--set_encrypted_filesystem=off
--update_package=/sdcard/Android_Revolution_HD-One_X_5.2.0.zip
the last one is doing something, but it sais it can't find the file. One time i got it to find the file(i forgot how ), but then it said the verification failed and it stopped.
But when i select the file manually it installs just fine.
Can anyone help me give me the available arguments for the CWM recovery? I can't find them anywhere...
Or maybe tell me how to install a custom rom using just a pc, and not touching the device.
Thnx!

as far as im concerned CWM doesnt support usb on the HTC One X yet.
so you'll have to copy the file to your external sdcard and flash it through CWM itself

Yes i know that... But i can add arguments to the /var/recovery/command file using adb... When added the arguments I can reboot into recovery and CWM tries to execute those... I only need a argument to switch signature verification off...

Help me recover HTC One X

I've searched for 3 hours and nothing helped so:
I have an international HTC One X Unlocked on HTCDev with S-ON :
ENDEAVORU PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-0.95.000
CID: HTC__032
MID: PJ4610000
I have installed ClockworkMod 5.8.4.0 and made a backup recovery 2 days ago from it before doing anything else.
and accidentally today i did these commands:
Wipe battery stats
Wipe Dalvik cache
wipe data/factory reset
and
format /cache
format /data
format /sdcard
format /system
Of course... after rebooting... NO MORE OS BOOT UP , it gets stuck at HTC Brilliant screen and stays forever.
First thing I did was to try to flash RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_ICS_40_HTC_Europe_1.29.401.11_Radio_1.1204.105.14_release_260491_signed.exe
didn't work! it says UNKNOWN ERROR (i think not the os it wants)
then i copied all the backup folders from my computer (the backup that i've made 2 days ago) on the sdcard partition which i can accesss from clockworkmod by mounting usb (and of course it was totally empty)
didn't wirk either.
How cand i put back my OS while I still have access to sdcard, bootloader and clockwork mod.
Please help me, I'm a dummy!

lol
if you know what you are doing with explorer then you just need to drop the folder 2012-07-26.05.13.13 in /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/
then restore your backup in recovery
i assume if you have done "format /sdcard and /system" then wondering why your phone wont boot, you are a dummy so i will write a dummy guide for you :laugh:
yeah, formatting /system is why it wont boot anymore
here are the things you need to do to get booting again
reboot into recovery
click on "mounts and storage"
click on "mount USB storage" at bottom
plug your phone into PC via USB cable
open up computer (assuming Windows) and open up your now blank /SDCARD
make a folder called "clockworkmod" (without quotes)
open this folder then make another one inside it called "backup"
copy your 2012-07-26.05.13.13 folder from your PC to the "backup" folder
click on "Unmount" on your phone
click on "+++++Go Back+++++"
click on "backup and restore"
click on "restore"
click on "2012-07-26.05.13.13"
click on "Yes - Restore"
once complete you should be fine and dandy again

I don't know what did you erase but inside zip you have boot.img which if you deleted somehow boot.img you can flash through adb shell. Don't ask me I don't know correct command line, but you can extract it and flash itbthrough phone. I will look for exact path for recovery zip file because i have root and nandroid back up and in next post I will give you my path.

Ok, so I know I take first prize for noob/dummy of the year but I'm really hoping someone cane help.
I recently rooted my one x and tried to install Android Revolution custom rom. Got stuck in a bootloop. Managed to then flash Cyanogenmod 9 (trip's version) however had issues with bluetooth not working and random reboots. Thought i'd give Android revolution a go again but got stuck in bootloop.....again!!! So...in all my (lack of) infinite wisdom, I booted into recovery and proceeded to format everything thinking I could just drop Leedroid's rom onto the sd card and flash it from recovery.
Whilst I thought this would work, I now have no access to the sd card. I tried mounting usb mass storage and the sdcard in recovery so I could just drag and drop it frrom windows but got the following error "E: Unable to open ums lunfile (No such file or di
So, after reading through some other threads, I discovered that you could just push the zip file using adb, however, when trying this I get the error: device not found.
When launching fastboot I get
SD Checking
Failed to open usb Master mode
Failed to open usb Master mode
loading HTCUpdatezipName image
Failed to open usb Master mode
Please plug off USB
Hope someone out there can help.

Do you have the latst Recovery? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1594819
If not, update to latest recovery and try to mount USB storage again.
Also you can try to use adb while you have the phone in recovery mode, not fastboot or hboot.
And, did you remember to flash the boot.img from fast boot after reflasnig the ROM? if not, that that is causing the bootloops.

wow, thankyou so much.
That was a relatively easy solution and got be back in the game baby!!!
BTW I gotta say, I was pretty happy with my one x before but now... I think i'm in love.

Sorry if this is off topic but was unsure where else to post. Had issues with random rebooting after certain apps launched so scrapped leedroid and tried out modaco. All seemed fine but then I was getting a reboot every time I tried to access (play, set as a ring tone or even just play) mp3's so I did a full wipe reflash of Leedroid and the same thing happens, full reboot when tying to do anything with MP3s
please help

Here is an alternative way without ruu
1-Mount usb in recovery
2-Copy this rom to sdcard
3-Factory reset
4-Flash rom
4-Start ruu and grab the rom.zip (you can find guides at xda for grabbing rom.zip)
5-Extract boot_signed.img and recovery.img
6-Execute fastboot flash boot boot_signed.img and fastboot flash recovery
recovery.img
7-Reboot and relock the bootloader
and now you don't need ruu and phone works well I tried this myself and it worked

Firstly, thanks for your sugggestion. One question though, won't relocking the bootloader also unroot the phone?

I am in a similar problem with my htc one x. I tried to flash android revolution but recovery would always tell me this;
E:can't open /sdcard/Android_Revolution_HD-One_X_8.0.0,zip
(bad)
Installation aborted
I tried to restore a backup I made from the stock system, but it just reboots shortly after showing the wallpaper. I am a real noob here and I read about updating clockwork, my version is 5.8.2.7. I do not know how to do that since I can't mount usb storage from recovery...
I really would appreciate a guide that even squirrels could follow, please

Just come across this thread, and i would like to say:
ACCIDENTALLY MY ****
There is no way you can format your partitions accidentally lmao

My phone was stuck in bootloop for 4 days. I finally relocked the bootloader and flashed my RUU. Worked perfectly after that

[Q] Problem mounting SD-card in ClockworkMod Recovery v5.8.0.2

I have rooted Htc Desire with ClockworkMod Recovery v5.8.0.2 and yasterday i was going to install a new rom.
At first i do backup, all was normally until the recovery find some error with sd-ext and skiped backuping it, when it finished i was going at recovery screen and go to mounts and storage and try to mount sd-ext i got an error (Error mounting /sd-ext) so i tried to mount sdcard but i get the same error (Error mounting /sdcard) and then i pull out battery and give it back and turn on phone but the phone didˇn load my android system then i go beck in recovery and format boot,cache,data and system. Then i click to install ZIP from sdcard but when i click chose zip from sdcard the recovery report: E:Can´t mount /sdcard/. I try another time with other SD-card but the same problem.
So i ask friend what to do and he sey: try to install other version of recovery. But i root and install this version with some program (unrevoked), and this program need ROM on my phone.
So i am asking you, How to install recovery on a desire whitch doesn`t have ROM installed??
P.S.: Sory for my bad english and i hope that anyone know this.

Use fastboot to flash recovery without the use of a sd-card.
Here's a fastboot tool:

You will need fastboot usb drivers installed.
