rooting error

im trying to root for 2.2, but for some reason im getting this error?
E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1
(Device or resource busy)
E:Can't mount SDCARD:update.zip
Installation aborted.
ive placed it on my internal SD card, its 790kb in size. anyone have any ideas?
also, i think i may have heard you need to flash 2.2 as MODEM, i flashed it as PDA, but its working fine with the exception of rejecting root, could this be an issue?

OMG! please leave this forum if you don't know how to use the search button! There is a whole deticated topic!
You have to flash it as the PDA or else it wouldnt work! and fail to flash!

my left nut. not the other one, just the left one

[Q] HELP FIX /dev/block/mmcblk0p1

Does anyone know how to fix an EVO that gives this error?
E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 (or /dev/block/mmcblk0) (No such file or directory) E: Can't mount SDCARD
I was flashing firerant's mtd partition to make up more space to install more apps. When I try to reboot my evo it turns on then vibrates 5 times and shuts down. I can get to hboot mode (volumen down + power). On top instead of s-off it changed to s-on. When I try to use command from my mac's terminal it says error: device not found.
I unrooted by flashing a PC36IMG.zip in hboot. Im in stock now. The phone seems to work fine but now the phone does not recognize the memory card (only in hboot mode) or the usb being plugged in. when i plug in the usb to the computer evo does not give me the notification nor charges or the light come on. Then I tried to root it but it's imposible because I still get terminal's error: device not found because the evo's usb is messed up or something. And since there is no notification to mount the memory card to my computer I can't transfer any files to/from evo.
Then I downloaded Unrevoked3 but still it does not do anything for the same reason the usb is not being detected.
Now I am unroot, evo not detecting memory card (when its on) and usb is messed up (when its on and in hboot mode).
Can Anyone please help me out. Maybe there is a zip that I can flash in hboot mode since is the only place my memory card is being read. Terminal commands through USB doesn't work in hboot or fastboot i dont know why.
Thank you so much everyone.
p.s. I am not blaming this on firerant's mod. I am just describing how it happened. I appreciate all devs work. and I am aware of their disclaimer we can brick our devices. Thank you.

pretty sure you fubar'd your internal partions there buddy.

Go get a new phone. Run over it with your car first.

Yes that's what I think. The partition is fubar'd, so there is no way to fix that?
Thanks for replying.

im sure there is but only by someone who knows what the hell they're doing. lol ;-)

can that person come to the RESCUE :/

lol @ the advice on here. I wouldn't exactly say I know what Im doing but I'll try to help anyway.
From a adb shell run 'cat /proc/mtd' and 'cat /proc/partitions' and that should tell you what your partitions look like. If you can copy them on to here.
Edit: Just remembered he had a custom recovery set up to use with it, were you using that to flash it? You'll most likely need that to recognize the partitions.

If you can flash a zip why not give Caulk's "format all" a try this may restore your partitions. I'm far from a dev but seems like i read about this same problem somewhere and they ran calks zip and presto all was well. I tried to find the thread but couldn't, just what I remember they flashed this then rom then kernel then radios. Of course they were rooted ... maybe rename to PC36IMG.zip ....but if you can flash a zip cant see how this would hurt.

[Fix] E: failed to mount data <invalid argument> E: copy_log_files_to_data

Hi guys if I ever had that message come up then u know a regular odin flash can't solve your problem I had this a while back and eventually came to the realization that I needed to flash via odin with pit and boot loader I couldn't find a find these separately and after hours of searching I finally found a Rom that contained those files so I took them and flashed them with my rom which did not work I then tried flashing that entire Rom and it did after doing that I flashed my regions rom via odin so I wouldn't have network problems after awhile I saw someone with the same problem as me So I tried to search for a link but I couldn't so I uploaded it to my dropox account so here you guys go just unpack and flash via odin if your getting
E: failed to mount data E: copy_log_files_to_data

BOOTLOADER DefaultCalDataWithBoot_S5360XXI9_REVO5
PIT- PIT.PIT (if this pit file doesn't work use this
http://db.tt/29ZiqAF8 )
Keep in mind I since flashing this even though I reverted to my regions stock Rom after I can't get a 3g connection I don't really no what's up
Oops I almost forgot the pit file contained in this Rom didn't work for reason use this one instead

Re: [Fix] E: failed to mount data <invalid argument> E: copy_log_files_to_data
Well yeah basically your problem is the title this means your data partition is corrupted meaning u can't access it in order to flash a custom Rom u need access to your data partition this will fix your data partition problem

Re: [Fix] E: failed to mount data <invalid argument> E: copy_log_files_to_data

Worst Rooting Issue

So, upon opening this you're probably thinking "this idiot needs to research and look up the forums for his common issue."
I can say that while I am new to this page, and also new to andriod dev tools, I am not new to technology or research. :silly:
I've looked at many forums, performed many searches and the like.
If you read all of this and find a simple issue or something I missed, please feel free to condescend and tut tut,
correcting me of my foolish ways.
I'll just jump right into the issue then...
So I'll start by saying that I've downloaded the proper drivers for my Nexus 2013 FLO/wifi.
(See the troubleshooting notes)
I unlocked the device, and used both TWRP and Clockwork (the latest versions per my device nexus 2013 flo)
Booting into either recovery partition, TWRP or Clockwork mod gives me the same error message log upon start.
Code:
ClockworkMod Recovery v6.0.4.7
E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/command
E: Can't open /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/misc
(No such file or directory)
E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/log
E: Can't open /cache/recovery/log
E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/last_log
E: Can't open /cache/recovery/last_log
E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/last_install
E: Can't open /cache/recovery/last_install
E: Can't open /dev/block/platform/msms_sdcc.1/by-name/misc
(No such file or directory)
TWRP, in essence, gives me the same log.
Troubleshooting notes:
Understand that each of these methods have been done in combination with each
other variation in the multiple categories. It's been a maddening process.
Driver Installation
-Nexus Root Toolkit
-NetHunter Installer
-Android studio bundle
-Manually
(Each time I uninstalled the prior driver before installing the other version.)
Misc
-Attempting to push any mods/rom/img or access storage of any kind
using SDK gives me nothing.
-Typing
Code:
adb devices
gives me a blank space when booted into TWRP or Clockwork recovery.
-I've tried using either recovery image to format my devices storage to a more susceptible file structure,
but same error messages come up
Code:
Error mounting /(any directory)
Downloaded files
latest and second to latest files for
clockwork recovery touch 6.0.4.7-flo
twrp-2.8.6.0-flo
android studio bundle-141.1903250
SU
UWT
Understand simple fixes like shutting off the device and restarting it before taking a certain step or
completely starting over, locking it, formatting to factory image and trying it again have all been attempted,
multiple times in different sequences of iteration. I'm really hoping for a knowledgeable community to come
in and save me here. I bought this device for the purpose of playing with NetHunter on my deployment her in
Kuwait. I have much time, and much more to learn. Help me root this sucker!!!
Thanks guys!

Check out this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-7-2013/nexus-7-2013-qa/mount-recovery-t3064562
I think you're probably having the same issue if you've recently purchased the device, and need to try the MultiRom version of TWRP.

Thanks!
I'll try that and respond with the updates.
-EDIT
It worked!!! Thanks!

Nice! Hopefully the next TWRP update resolves this on the standard TWRP.

OMG thank you... this has been driving me insane, had the same experience as OP with a Nexus we just got a week ago that came pre-installed with 5.x.x... PLEASE someone add the linked info to the guide at the top of the section for this device. Following the instructions there resulted in my uttering bad words around my children because of the lack of indication of this issue.

Unable to restore amazon fire phone

I have tried to use adb sideload to load the original amazon os however it aborts due to being unable to find expected mount points. how do i restore all mount points so i can complete the recovery. I need to fix /misc /cache /system

I have a 2nd working fire phone if that would help

Ohh it is a serious issue
If your computer recognized it qhusb dload and some disk shown in file explorer so your phone is semi hard bricked
If your phone is in warranty so claim it
Otherwise I think there is no dump files for it
Please find any working dump file and inject it by emmc raw but be careful i have one phone like I try it on linux search qhsusb dload 9006 repair linux
But becareful because by applying this my phone was completely hard bricked with qhs usb dload 9008 no partitions no drives on computer
If you inject any wrong dump on it, then it will be hard bricked with qhs usb dload 9008
