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 ??
please help my phone doesn't want to go pass the recovery i try to do a recovery but it tells me that can't mount sdcard and after that goes black and giving me a five or six vibrations anyone knows any knows any fix please Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks from a Noob
Are you able to get access to the bootloader? I'm unsure of where you're problem is. Please outline your steps and where it's failing.
yes am able to get to bootloader but when i get to select zip file to install bam there it goes E:/ can't mount sdcard that's as far as it goes and if i get it to restart i get a black screen with 6 vibrations and a blinking green light. any idea???
well you're trying to install something from the bootloader and we need to get to recovery. Bootloader will try to install whatever is labeled pc36img.zip on the root of your sd card. This can contain installs for radios, recoveries (clockwork/amen ra), splash screens and maybe some other things. If you have a recovery installed you should be able to NOT install form the sd card when you are in bootloader and then load recovery where you would flash your new ROM. If you don't have a bootloader installed, You will need to download one (do a search for Amen Ra or clockwork), rename the install zip to pc36img.zip, move it to the root of your sd card and then in the bootloader when it ask you if you want to install, then you can hit yes. Once the recovery is installed, then you need to load recovery flash everything but your sd card and install a new ROM.
Hope this helps
If you don't have option to go to recovery from bootloader, then you need to put a recovery in PC36IMG form on root of SD card. Then power on by volume down and power button. Bootloader should find and install your recovery.
On another note. Over last 2 yrs, I've seen many people lose recovery, get the 5 vibrates, and never be able to recover from it despite valiant effort. Hopefully this is not your case.

Did you totally wipe your sd card and partition?Also go to advanced in your recovery and fix permissions.

What they need to do is basically reformat the sd card completely, then repartition [if they are].

I been looking everywhere for a ruu rooted for my evo but with no luck by any chance do you guys know where can i get one that's the only way for now that i can flash a rom my phone is S-OFF but the rom is not rooted i don't know what to do
my htc one x device doesn't boot up (only shows the HTC quietly brilliant screen) because i've formatted the sdcard and data files...
im now only able to boot into clockworkmod recovery...
can't even copy any files into the phone thru USB, as such, i can't install any ROMs...
tried to do a search on this but im an android noob and couldn't understand many of the would-be-related threads...
any kind soul can provide guides to how can i solve this?

Use the latest CWM recovery
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1594819
Then you can mount USB with it and copy the ROM.zip to your sdcard and flash.
thanks for your reply!
i've got CWM 5.8.2.7 but i couldnt mount USB storage.
it gives me an error of:
"E: Unable to open ums lunfile (no such file or dir)"
That's an old CWM recovery with USB problem. Download the latest at the link given and flash it, you'll solve your problem easily.
