Develop Bugs

Bricked and confused

I've been searching for a couple of days now - hence this post.
My Desire boots to HTC green on white - nothing more.
I can get to Bootloader / fastboot / recovery, here's some details :
Code:
Revolutionairy
Bravo PVE3 SHIP S-OFF
HBOOT-6.93.1002
MI CROP-051d
TOUCH PANEL-SYNW0101
RADIO-4.05.00.11
Aug 10 2010 12.75.10
Can flash RUU (RUU_Bravo_HTC_WWE_1.15.405.4_Radio_32.30.00.28U_4.05.00.11_release_122704) and it completes with no errors but all I gain (?) is the loss of recovery which I can restore using AndroidFlasher.
I have no access to multiple sdcards (formatted using gparted to fat32) which work in both my Win7 and Linux machines without issue - I don't think the sdcards are at fault.
Have done a full wipe and tried a couple of recoveries and am now on recovery-RA-desire-v2.0.1.img. They all give the same errors, ie :
Code:
E: Can't mount /dev/block/mmclk0p1 (or /dev/block/mmclk0) (No such file or directory)
E:Can't mount /sdcard
Searching for these has suggested that it's a USB brick but all fixes include loading something to the sdcard - which I have no access to.
Other things I've tried with no success :

/dev/block/mmcblk0p2:
The superblock could not be read or does not describe a correct ext2
filesystem. If the device is valid and it really contains an ext2
filesystem (and not swap or ufs or something else), then the superblock
is corrupt, and you might try running e2fsck with an alternate superblock:
e2fsck -b 8193 <device>
It's like it's a "sdcard brick" but I've failed to find anything on that and that still doesn't explain why it doesn't boot. It used to boot with no sdcard.
This is now driving me mad, please can somebody provide some sanity ?

Have looked at bortak's troubleshooting guide? Ul get more info there. Look in Desire Q&A/ Stickies

Yes.
It seems I have two of the problems.
[1]BOOT PROBLEMS

[STEP10b]- go back to the main menu, select "install zip from sdcard"

OKAY [ 0.135s]

Which in theory has mounted the sdcard but when I go into recovery for step [1]BOOT PROBLEMS it's no longer mounted.
The commands from [13]RECOVERY CAN'T MOUNT SD-CARD don't work in recovery - I get
Code:
< waiting for device >
Catch 22 and hence my confusion.
How do I mount the sdcard when in recovery - which is what it seems needs doing ?

It cant mount sdcard if u dont have 1. Ul have to buy 1

The "no" there is most likely a typo. The guy is saying that he DOES have multiple SD cards which work properly under W7 and Linux but not with the Desire.

Again, he's not saying that he does not have an SD card, he's just saying that the procedure described in the guide requires that the phone "sees" the SD card but his phones does not.
Conclusion: he DOES have MULTIPLE WORKING SD cards, but the phone does NOT recognize them.
What the hell is wrong with you guys?

Theres fk all wrong with us. Ok if "no" was a typo then why does he say " but i dont have a sdcard so.." dont take it the wrong but was just a bit confusing. If they dont work, buy a new 1, like i already said because u need a sdcard

Again: he's saying that Bortak's guide requires him, at one point, to run a zip from the SD card, BUT HIS PHONE CANNOT MOUNT ANY SD CARD, thus he "does not have an SD card".

So I flashed RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.29.405.5_Radio_32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_159811_signed.exe and now it works - sort of
It now boots but still has no access to the sdcard.
Menu > Settings > SD & phone storage
shows SD card total/available space as "Unavailable" and the options to mount / format greyed out.

Lol sry, there is a link at the end too, i had a quick read at it and theres something saying about unlocking the sdcard so i thought maybe u have the same problem. Have look again and click the other link at the bottom, it explains more.

And then your sdcard will be mounted.
It might be mounted right at that second but when I go into recovery / reboot it defiantly isn't.
Anyone got any ideas ?

Have now made a mtd0.img with this site. I am using RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.29.405.5_Radio_32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_159811_signed so used 2.29.405.5 for the ROM version. Uploaded both it and the file flash_image from this post :
Code:
adb push flash_image /data
adb push mtd0.img /data
adb shell
chmod u+x /data/flash_image
/data/flash_image misc /data/mtd0.img
That all went as planned but I am still left without a mountable sd card.
Is my Desire borked ?

Ok guys, thanks for all your help but I think I may have just answered my own question.
I've just noticed that it's not just the sd card it won't recognise. It's the SIM card too. This says to me that I've got a hardware rather than software issue here.
Sorry for wasting anyone's time. I need my phone for work calls and have not thought about inserting the SIM into a phone that doesn't work properly.
Again - thanks for your help here. Anyone know how much I can get for a spares / repairs Desire on the open market ?

Unable to mount data & cache

Hi all, got my kindle fire brick. I think my partition is messed up. I bought a factory cable which able me to install twrp and i succefully(i guess) flashed energy ICS. But it prompt me "e:unable to mount '/data" e:unable to mount '/cache". I were to boot to normal boot it will just boot endlessly but i still can access to fff and twrp.i did some research on repartitioning for kindle fire but i need some guidance. Help is much appreciated
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app

Usually this is a fairly bad indication but do this go to the mount section in twrp and make sure there are no checks in the boxes of data and system if so uncheck them, I know you said data and cache but this should have a check in the box then try a reboot also were you previously using cwmr? If so you may have been bitten by the bug a very unsightly one that generally means the death of your kindle unless you know how to repartition around a broken emmc. What did you do prior to this that caused this to happen?
Also energy is not the best for good mounting just saying...

I was using fireparted to backup my partition when my pc suddenly shut down. Thats when everything screws up. Also my data and cache are not able to check or uncheck. I hope theres a kind soul to guide me through this process
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app

If you ask me I would say its toast but maybe someone knows a way to restore factory partitions I know many are looking for a solution for thier parts only kindle....

From what I understand...
Code:
fastboot oem format
...will rewrite your partition table to stock. And as long as you haven't messed with the partition sizes, your data will stay intact.
Enter:
Code:
shell cat /proc/partitions
To get a list of your current partitions and sizes to check to see if they even exist to begin with. And if so, it's likely just a case of broken or missing mountpoints.
Now, whether or not "fastboot oem format" will restore broken or missing mountpoints, I couldn't tell you for sure; I've never had to try it. But in your situation, it probably couldn't hurt to try.
You can also recreate mountpoints manually if needed.
[Edit:] It has just been explained to me that "fastboot oem format" won't do anything about mountpoints.

Assuming you can get into TWRP and run adb shell, execute the following command...
Code:
adb shell parted /dev/block/mmcblk0 unit b print
Note: version 2.2.0 is missing the parted binary, so you'll need to use 2.1.1
This will give you a detailed layout of your storage device and the filesystems for each partition. I'm running from memory here, but the right column should show the filesystem types it sees for that particular partition. For userdata (which is mounted as data) and cache, those should be ext4. If you don't see that, you need to remake those partitions.
Code:
adb shell mke2fs -T ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p10
adb shell mke2fs -T ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p11
Then you can repeat the parted command above and see if the commands worked. If the commands were successful, you can use the mount command or it's probably easier to just reboot into TWRP and it should do it automatically.

It will be a lot easier for you to understand what you are doing and why you are doing them. It will also explain how and where to run the commands.

I don't know who or what did that to your partition table, but partitions 10-12 are not right. It looks like mke2fs is complaining because your userdata partition is only ~178KB. I'm also a bit concerned that you've extended the media partition as far as you have. You might have some additional problems there.
The easiest way for you to get started on a fix is to get into fastboot mode with FFF and run...
Code:
fastboot oem format
That will bring your partition table back to stock, so you can run those mke2fs commands to remake those filesystems on the two partitions. You'll also have to remake the media partition in parted. You can find some instructions on how to do that here...

[Q] {URGENT} SDCard won't mount or format!

Hello, this is my first post but been seeing lot of threads here with lot of help, so I thank you all before you start helping me.
I have my HTC One X, tried to update to Jelly Bean using Dragon's ROM, all went fine but the phone got stuck on HTC logo.
Since that I can only start on recovery (ClockWork Mod 5.8.4.0), HBOOT (0.94) or fastboot.
There is no way I can access the SDCard from recovery to flash the rom.
I tried factory reset with no luck, wipe cache, wipe data.../factory reset. all with no luck! Every time I try to format my sdcard it says:
"Formatting /sdcard/.android_secure..."
"Error mounting /sdcard/.android_secure!"
"Skipping format..."
If I try with "mounts and storage" then "format sdcard":
"Formatting sdcard..."
"Error mounting /sdcard!"
I must say that I can use "Mount USB storage", did format with FAT32 on Windows & Mac, no luck. Also tried using parted with adb shell, formatting on ext2, but no luck.
Here is my "recovery.fstab":
~ # cat /etc/recovery.fstab
# mount point fstype device [device2]
# /recovery emmc recovery
# /boot emmc boot
# /system ext4 system
# /cache ext4 cache
# /misc emmc misc
# /sdcard vfat /dev/block/sda1 /dev/block/sda
# /internal_sdcard vfat /dev/block/mmcblk0p14
# /data ext4 userdata
# /devlog ext4 devlog
/recovery emmc /dev/block/mmcblk0p5
/boot emmc /dev/block/mmcblk0p4
/cache ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p13
/data ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p15
/sdcard vfat /dev/block/mmcblk0p14
/system ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p12
/misc emmc /dev/block/mmcblk0p17
------------
And here my fstab:
~ # cat /etc/fstab
/dev/block/mmcblk0p13 /cache ext4 rw
/dev/block/mmcblk0p15 /data ext4 rw
/dev/block/mmcblk0p12 /system ext4 rw
/dev/block/mmcblk0p14 /sdcard vfat rw
---------------
There is no way that ClockWork Mod can read my internal card for installing any zip. Any help would be really appreciated, even I would pay if necessary.
Thanks in advance for all the great work you guys do, and hope to get my phone back working!

If you mean the skydragon rom, ypu have to update hboot to use it.
And for the mounting problems... Try reflashing recovery.
I saw "fastboot oem format" somewhere and I aint sure what it does, but it might be worth a try.

You have to relock bootloader first: fastboot oem lock.
Then run RUU with admin rights.

Two choices: Use a JB RUU or flash the correct firmware for your cid.

Good show, unless your planning on beginning work on a Custom Recovery what are you going to gain by unpacking the recovery.img?
I see your working on a CM port, so wish you all the best on that. I'll be porting MIUIv5 for the Ascend P6 as I did for a few other devices, also going to have another crack at porting Flyme OS since I already ported 90% to my previous device.

If you've already got a build environment setup you may aswel build CWM from CM sources, we have more then enough information here to proceed. Even more convenient considering you have the recovery.img unpacked. Google "Build CWM Cyanogenmod" for more info. Failing that i'll setup a build environment and do so myself tomorrow evening.

I'm setting up the enviroment to build CWM, i hope to get it done in a few hours, anyways, i got bad news. My laptop screen broke today, and i send it to repair tomorrow and i don't know how much time will take :/

I got an small laptop and a pc, i have to install linux and will continue working (i think) i expect to be at least 1 week without my laptop (maybe i got it with screen broken ultil i wait the new screen)
Dam git sync, so ****ing long

Just a question, if i have in my .fstabfile the partition routes this way:
Code:
/dev/block/platform/hi_mci.1/by-name/sdcard
I have to change it to
Code:
/dev/block/mcblk....
In BoardConfig.mk or can i let it original? Looks the same for me, /dev/block/platform/hi_mci.1/by-name/ points the mcblk, i want to be sure

We can try recoverys without flash using fastboot? Like the kernel?

As you can see... It's expecting a boot.img so this command is only available for booting ramdisk & kernel.

I tried fastboot boot recovery recovery.img but i get:
Code:
fastboot boot recovery recovery.img
cannot load 'recovery'

I don't think that command is applicable until post flash as according to cyanogenmod documentation:
Code:
Installing recovery using fastboot
You can use fastboot to install your recovery image to the device.
Installing ClockworkMod Recovery on the device
Connect the device to the computer via USB.
Make sure the fastboot binary is in your PATH or that you place the downloaded image in the same directory as fastboot.
Open a terminal on your PC and reboot the device into fastboot mode by typing adb reboot bootloader or by using the hardware key combination.
Once the device is in fastboot mode, verify your PC sees the device by typing fastboot devices
If you don't see your device serial number, and instead see "<waiting for device>", fastboot is not configured properly on your machine. See fastboot documentation for more info.
Flash ClockworkMod Recovery onto your device by entering the following command: fastboot flash recovery your_recovery_image.img where the latter part is the name of the file you downloaded.
Once the flash completes successfully, reboot the device into recovery to verify the installation. This can be done by typing fastboot boot your_recovery_image.img.
Note: Some ROMs overwrite recovery at boot time so if you do not plan to immediately boot into recovery to install CyanogenMod, please be aware that this may overwrite your custom recovery with the stock one.

foolproof TWRP guide for wileyfox swift (original, V1)

TWRP final guide with EXACTLY what to do;
preparations:
wileyfox swift with cable (original, or high quality cable),
as swift plug is recessed quite deeply not like samsungs ect....
working ADB drivers or platform tools, and access into it from your PC,
latest TWRP for this phone,
first step is locating where your platform tools or ADB is actually installed,
you need to see the actual files like fastboot.exe,ect1.tool.exe,and adb.exe
copy into (platform tools) this folder TWRP.img, (renaming helps here), rename it to
TWRP.img from crackling xxxxxx.img
now make sure USB debugging is enabled in developer options, (press 7 times on build
number to see the developer options)
while in developer options switch on advanced reboot so you see bootloader option
plug in USB cable firmly
reboot your phone, while selecting "reboot", "go into bootloader option"
should get to a screen showing statistics such as
product name- crackling
variant QRD eMMC
Boootloader version- crackling-N-gef75ac3
serial number-XXXXXXXXX
secure boot-enabled
Device state-locked/unlocked
if the last one says locked, make sure you have backups, as continuing from this point
WILL wipe your device, no whatsapp, SMS messages, phone contacts ect..... please make sure
your backup is 100% current before continuing as once unlocked your phone will be factory reset
on your pc inside the platform tools folder, open a command window inside the folder
itself,(hold down SHIFT key , then right click on empty white area to get option "open command
window here).
now you should get a CMD window with the folder name where the platform tools already
populated,
now a quick test to see if everything working,
type fastboot devices and then enter,
should get a printout saying, xxxxxxx Fastboot
where XXXXX is your serial number shown on the screen
if you get nothing checck your cables,drivers ect.....
-----------Optional, if your bootloader is locked,
type fastboot OEM unlock to unlock your bootloader, see warning above........
-----------Optional
now for the meat of the process:
type fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
should get something similar to this:
target reported max download size of 268435456 bytes
sending 'recovery' (16888 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.563s]
writing 'recovery'...
OKAY [ 0.297s]
finished. total time: 0.859s
great, it flashed,
now the tricky bit..... its requires very precise timing, and flexibility as the buttons
are all in one row, and its hard to do everything properly.
UNPLUG the USB cable at this point,
remove the back cover off the phone,
physically remove the battery from the phone,
with the cover still off,
press and hold vol down and power button, and insert the battery into the phone
phone will vibrate, wait till you see wileyfox logo, then ONLY release power button
keep holding vol down button,
eventually TWRP logo appears,
TWRP is now installed, as far as I can make out its only temporary, as at the next reboot
it will flash the standard recovery once more,
hope this help others,
happy customizing....

Hello,
Where you able to mount /system with this method?
If so, what version of TWRP did you use?
Thanks

This will lead to fail if you have a stock 7.1.1 firmware or old Cyanogen. It should be mentioned that you should flash a compatible bootloader first.

used latest version, 3.1.1.0 TWRP,
I did have to flash eventually my folders to Vfat in order to get my Rom to install, otherwise I kept getting errors when flashing,
found this out by experimenting and flashing different versions until one allowed me to flash.

Thanks for this guide - still useful after years.
Here's my experience with my 2 Swifts with some additions for future reference. (If your phone's side buttons are as crappy as mine, keep reading, there is a way to get to recovery without needing the side buttons at all:)
background:
I'm following this LineageOS 17.1 install guide, specifically the "Installing the correct firmware". I first need to sideload an older Cyanogen 13 via recovery because.. reasons.. (see guide).
To do this I need to first be in Recovery, but not stock recovery because that one would not allow me to sideload either Cyanogen 13 or the new LineageOS. So either TWRP or the LineageOS recovery image for crackling would do - If I could reach it before the phone replaced it with the stock recovery again. So this is where this guide comes in:
Phone #1: This one is a half-decent condition still with the side buttons working most of the time 1st try.
Only thing was the timing of the "tricky bit" where you reinsert the battery while holding down power and volume down. I had the rest of my stuff ready, upon reaching flashed recovery immediately sideloaded the Cyanogen 13 (which replaces the bootloader) and from there on you can reach any flashed recovery also through the new/old/better bootloader's menu. Success!
Phone #2: The side buttons on this one have become very unreliable to the point where it's even hard to navigate the bootloader menu.
I just couldn't get it to work. The side buttons have degraded too much, I couldn't tell if they were actually pressed or not, let alone time it correctly. However I know from #1 I only need to reach recovery once to make it work.
Here's what I did without needing the side buttons at all:
Boot to bootloader, e.g:
Boot normally (fortunately still possible)
Connect usb debugging
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
In bad bootlooder
Do not flash recovery, boot recovery:
Code:
fastboot boot twrp-3.5.2_9-0-crackling.img
(I tried to boot from LineageOS crackling img but that failed. See command log in next post)
In TWRP
Do a factory reset
Code:
adb sideload SW27-WF-CRACKLING-CM-13.1.5-ZNH2KAS7EB-RECOVERY_v2.zip
Via menu reboot, reboot to bootloader
in good bootloader now
flash recovery:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.5.2_9-0-crackling.img
(this can also be the LineageOS img)
Reboot to recovery using the menu (now this works)
use recovery as you like.
So from here on out I followed the guide including installation of GApps.
I also resized the system partition using parted in TWRP with as detailed in this excellent post, otherwise OpenGApps wouldn't fit.
In the next post is the adb/fastboot command line log where you can see the entire process, hopefully this is useful for anyone with issues with their phone regardless of type.

### Not sure what happened here but at some point I ran into space issues again.
### Used Advanced wipe and filesystem repair, resize in TWRP without effect.
### Rebooted to recovery from TWRP menu again hoping that would make it recognize the added space.
### After reboot correct system partition size became visible in Advanced Wipe.
### Continued:
C:\Users\hbrowser\Downloads>adb sideload lineage-17.1-20210710-nightly-crackling-signed.zip

### OpenGapps still failed but expected
C:\Users\hbrowser\Downloads>adb sideload open_gapps-arm64-10.0-nano-20210710.zip
serving: 'open_gapps-arm64-10.0-nano-20210710.zip' (~6%) * failed to read command: No error
### Now In TWRP: Resize System partition in Wipe - Advanced
### If error: run again
### This fixes the problem:
C:\Users\hbrowser\Downloads>adb sideload open_gapps-arm64-10.0-nano-20210710.zip

So far i've downloaded the Google Drivers from Android Studio, and the phone is listed via adb. Could anyone give any information, that would be truly appreciated.
EDIT:
I tried it on Linux and the drivers were detected straight away - Windows 11 is poo.
