[Q] SD card mounting problem with 4EXT/CWM Recovery - Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
im new here and have a problem with mounting the SD card with the recoveries "4EXT Recovery Touch 1.0.0.5 RC8" and the "CWM PhilZ Touch 6.40.7". No error occurs but no storage device is displayed on the computer when connected with USB.
Mounting with TWRP 2.6.3.0 works.
The reason why i want to change to another recovery is that i want to use the Mokee kitkat rom. And unfortunately flashing the rom with TWRP fails (also with the 4EXT recovery)
Error messag with 4EXT:
"set_metadata_recursive: some changes failed
E: Error in /sdcard/_rom/MK44.4-ace-140829-RELEASE.zip
(Status 7)
Installation aborted."
Error message in TWRP:
"set_metadata_recursive: some changes failed
E: Error executing updater binary in zip '/sdcard/_rom/MK44.4-ace-140829-RELEASE.zip'"
However I managed to flash the rom with the CWM recovery but also mounting the SD within the running Mokee ROM fails.
The ROM is great and i want to use it really bad, could anyone give me some advices please, how i could get this work for me?
Thanks in advance.

i just tested TWRP 2.7.1.0 and USB mounting does not work there either.
Anyone else got this problem?

[Q] Cant partition my sd card to via RomManager.

Hi,
I'm trying to partition my SD card (8G class 10) using the RomManager without any success.
After I chose all the parameter for the partition, the phone reboots and I receive a black screen with a droid and an orange exclamation mark.
The phone will stay like that (I left it for the whole night) unless I'll enter the recovery screen by pressing PWR+VOL UP.
If I do that I get the following error messages:
ClockworkMod Recovery v2.5.07
finding update package
Opening update package
E: failed to seek in /cache/update.zip (invalid argument)
E: signature verification failed
instalation aborted.
I'll get the same errors if I'll enter the recovery from using the RomManager option.
If I'll enter the recovery via HBOOT these errors are gone.
My HTC desire is rooted, S-ON
Hboot 0.93.0001
Android 2.2.
Besides that I don’t have any other problems and the phone is working fine (or so I think )
Thanks in advance

ROM Manager is not an ideal solution to partition your card. I've found that the easiest solution is to use a dedicated partition manager like Gparted or use the partition manager of a Ubuntu LiveCD. If you have a spare blank cd, create a bootable cd with gparted, and use it to partition. Anyway, ROMmanager has a lot of limitations with partitioning, it's not at all flexible with sizes.
Hi,
Thanks for the quick reply.
One more noob's question.
After creating the partition (btw any recommends regarding optimal partition sizes ( is there anything else I should do to activate the a2sd+ option or it will be done automatically ?
Anything around or above 512 Mb should be fine. Dont go above 1.5Gb though. A2sd+ is automatic
You have to turn signature verification off in recovery. Boot in to recovery, then select "install zip form SD" there is the option to toggle signature verification, do that and reboot. Now you can use rom manager.
If you feel that you are not sure about using Gparted and stuff, continue with Rom Manager. In the Rom Manager menu, click flash ClockworkMod recovery and then select the options to partition your SD Card
Thanks,
I used Gparted and it worked like a charm

Good to know..
Gparted and its sibling in Ubuntu are really great if you want to play with your partitions, like resizing them.

SGS 2 wont load a ROM

Ok i flashed my S2 to XXKG1 then flashed with CF-Root-SGS2_XX_OXA_KG1-v4.1-CWM4.tar
I then flashed with GT-I9100_ClockworkMod-Recovery_4.0.1.4.tar
I have CWM app and SuperUser App and Rom Manager Premium.
I backed up my ROM fine using CWM app. I downloaded CyanogenMod from Rom Manager. Picked Install from SD. my phone askes me to backup and clear cach, when the phone reboots it just reboots to android with a (/!\ android man) Image. If i press vol key the menu will appear clockworkmod recovery v4.0.1.4 (its orange).
error:
E:failed to verify whole-file signature
E:signature verification failed
Installation aboarted
Thats as far as i can get, if i chose install zip from sd and select the cm_galaxys2_full-64.zip
error:
E:failed to verify whole-file signature
E:signature verification failed
Installation aboarted
What am i doing wrong here? Im rooted, i have CWM, i have the ROM, ????
Now i'm not a SGS2 user, but IMHO you should:
a) try to download the ROM file again, maybe something went wrong and the file you have downloaded is incomplete or damaged;
b) disable signature check from CWM.
Thanks for replying. wers disable sig check in cwm i cant see it lol

Do you have premium version of RomManager? I heard doing stuff from recovery can cause problems through there. And CM7 is still in beta debugging mode so i would not install till there is a stable version. Bluetooth does not work on it everything else does but still not as stable as it should be...
Try flashing a different rom you can find quite a few close to cm7 in the thread section of gs2
Tried a different rom got exactly the same,
I bought rom manager yes
Hi, I'm facing the same problem with SGS2 GT I9100 running on XXKG6
I'm new, so can't post links, Please google disabling CWM Signature check.
Supposedly disabling the signature verification on CWM should fix the issue.
I'll need to get home and check if this fixes the problem or not.
please let me know if this works for you!!

FULL_WIPE_1.5_EXT4_ zip - ERROR

I recently tried to flash JellyMIUI_3.1.11_v2 custom rom on my HTC Desire HD.
Install instructions suggest to install FULL_WIPE_1.5_EXT4_ zip from sd card.
When attempting to intall full wipe i get the following error:
-Model ID - HTC Ace
-Ok to proceed
Now preparing for a clean install of any EXT4 ROM
Please be patient
1st boot may take a few minutes
-Formatting Data
-Formatting System
E: Error in /sdcard/FULL_WIPE_1.5_EXT_.zip

Installation aborted
Does anyone know why I would be getting this error or how to fix?
Despite this error I am still able to install the JellyMIUI_3.1.11_v2 custom rom although GPS does not work (not sure if this related)

I does not even use that wipe script... just go to recovery and select "wipe everything except sdcard".. and then flash the rom.. works perfectly
GPS does not work: Check whether autorotation working or not
if it does not, flash the stock rom first before flashing jellymiui rom..
if it does, then the problem maybe lies on the hardware(attenna problem) or need a gps.conf fix..

I had that same problem when I used CWM recovery. I switched to TWRP and everything was ok. You could try that

Bootloop after OTA Update

I have an ASUS ZenFone 2 (550 model), and I got a Push Notification about an OS Update, so I went ahead and installed it. After the phone installed the Update and rebooted, I got in a Bootloop. I can get into the Bootloader, the Stock Recovery, and the Temporary ClockworkMod Recovery mentioned here:
Code:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone2/general/root-newbie-root-instructions-zenfone-2-t3114063
ADB also works, thankfully.
My phone is rooted, and I'd like to unlock my Bootloader, and install CyanogenMod, after I get out of this Bootloop.
Could someone please help?
EDIT:
Silly me, I forgot to mention the problems I actually had while trying t solve the bootloop.
So,
Problem #1: If I try to flash Firmware, the stock Recovery stops at 25% (It continues going until 50% in ADB), and then i get this error:
"E: failed to verify whole-file signature
E: signature vertification failed"
Problem #2: CWM cannot use my MicroSD. If I go to "Install zip from sd card", it doesn't show the actual SD card, jus three empty folders. I tried to mount "ext-sd" in the mounting options, but it fails to mount. (My MicroSD is 32GBs and formatted in Fat32, so it should work. :/ )

unable to mount /system - but everything OK

Hi,
i have an LG G4 INT. Unlocked Bootloader. TWRP latest installed.
As rom i use 7HD 7.4.
Everything works fine!
Now i wanted to backup the partitions (before installing xposed), i enter TWRP, click backup, slide, then:
E: unable to mount /system
Number of partitions to bacup: 4
Total size of all data: 10134MB
Backup folder......
.
.
.
E: unable to mount /system
Before reboot inTWRP, i get a message "No os installed..........".
But the device works fine!
Also reinstalling 7HD rom (without wipe!) does not work, same error....
Any idea?
Thanks
No one an idea?
Same issue
Ive had the same issue when i wasnt on the latest recovery. Try to upgrade it easily by: https://dl.twrp.me/h815/twrp-2.8.7.0-h815.img.html using this img file. At your TWRP hit install, and browse for imgages...
Flash, reboot and its done
