I'm going to give as much info as I can think of.
Phone was rooted, radio is 2.15.00.07.28, S-OFF, and ready for a new ROM. This morning I installed CM6 via Rom Manager app.
Everything was great, I was poking around, had restarted a couple of times playing with colors and whatnot. I decided to check out the camera to make sure it was working, which advised me to put in an SD card. There was a perfectly fine 2gb SD card in there I thought. Somehow it had gotten corrupted (so there goes my nandroid backup).
So, I restart, just to see if that helps. Suddenly I have a boot loop. I have no idea what caused this. So far I have:
Reformatted the SD card in windows to FAT32 (I am at work and have no access to my linux or adb shell)
ClockworkMod - wipe data/factory reset, and wipe cache partition (it does give one error, saying that it cannot mount /dev/block/mmcblk1p1 etc).
Reinstalled CM6/GApps via ClockworkMod.
None of the above has worked, as I still have a boot loop on the CM6 screen.
Any ideas??
ah, two more notes:
ClockworkMod is up to date, v2.5.0.5
and
it gives another error I just noticed "Error mounting /sdcard/.android_secure!"

Okay, after trying to flash the new Desire HD rom on my normal Desire, I've come across a few major problems.
First, I rooted used the unrevoked method, and everything was fine.
After downloading, and installing the .zip file from the recovery, the device wouldn't load up, all I got was the green HTC logo with the white background, after leaving it for around 20 minutes, I figured that theres a problem.
After wiping all the data/factory reset, trying to restore from backups, trying to format sdcard, sd-ext,data,system... pretty much everything, all I get is the following:
E: Can't mount /de/block/mmcblk0 (or /dev/block/mmcblk0p1)
(no such file or directory)
Error mounting SDCARD:!
Does anyone have any idea what I can do to fix it?
Thanks in advance,
ok, i think i bricked my desire...
i just got it, used to be a captivate user. i had just flashed this rom earlier and was liking it, except for one lil mms problem. i decide to try another rom (RCSTouch) so i put that rom on my sdcard and booted to clockwork. i wiped data and cache and stuff. i then selected to install the rom and i get this error "cant open file (bad) Installed aborted."
maybe the file was corrupted? well i tried rebooting my phone lotsa times and it just fires up vibrates once and stays stuck at the HTC screen. I have to pop the battery to turn it off.
what can i do here?
Boot in to recovery, go to mounts, mount the sd as mass storage, copy a non corupted rom to the sd, dismount and flash your new rom.

Always nandroid before making any major changes in recovery, that way if anything goes wrong, you can just restore your previous rom. It seems like you did not do this, and thus your phone is not booting up because you wiped it. That being said, follow Ghost's advice as it does seem like a bad file.
I've been very frustrated lately, and I don't want to go and do something like unroot and clear my
phone without "professional" input. So thanks for your attention.
I have been running albinoman's Jellybean RC3 since it's release. It's been working well for me
but I wanted to try the new MIUI 2.11.9 for my Incredible.
I downloaded and tried installing it through ROM Manager; I wiped the data, cache, and dalvik cache.
It got to the part where it was installing MIUI, then:
Code:
Creating symlinks
symlink: some symlinks failed
E:Error in /somedirectory/blahblah/somezipfile.zip
(Status 7)
Installation aborted.
So I cursed it and restored my JB backup.
Then it said something like this in the final part of the restore:
Code:
Restoring sd-ext...
No sd-ext found. Skipping backup of sd-ext
sd-ext won't mount and isn't visible in cmrecovery. But oddly enough, all of my files can be found in Astro, under sdcard1.
When I booted up, I got the immediate messages that apps like Talk, Email,
and Exchange Services had stopped working. So I disabled them to stop the messages. Facebook wouldn't start, and
ANY app that deals with media fails to load, i.e. Instagram, Camera, Music, Gallery, etc.
(EDIT: Recently I got Google Play to download apps after Fixing Permissions in cmrecovery)
I tried the re-downloading and re-installation of MIUI, and even a fresh RC3, all in CMrecovery, w/ and w/out wipes.
I would've let the failed install go, but it's too frustrating not being able to access my media.
Please Help

Status 7 refers to an error in the rom zip file. Try redownloading it and flashing it again. If it still errors, go to the roms thread and see if others are having the same issue. I no one else has the issue, try flashing TWRP recovery and then flashing the rom with it. Seems some newer roms work better with twrp than with cwm.
The sd-ext thing is normal. You will only have an sd-ext if you specificaly partitioned your sdcard to have one. If you dont have one, cwm will still check and report its backup status, ie "backing up/restoring sd-ext, no sd-ext found, skipping backup/restore of sd-ext".
So are you saying you cant flash any rom or restore a backup without having fc's and app issues?

Thanks cmlusco, for posting.
I just downloaded a fresh .zip of miui for inc off their site, then transferred and installed it all while in TWRP recovery. I got the same Status 7
error, and had to restore my my newest JB backup.
Yes. I can't install new roms, even a fresh jellybean rc3. When I restore, it works, but I still have app issues, and I frequently recieve this error:
"Unfortunately, the process android.process.media has stopped"

It must be an error in the rom file then, probably in the updater script. If you shoot me a link i will download it and see if i can get it to work.
Try formating everything in the mounts and storage menu except emmc and sdcard, and then do your restore. Sometimes wiping just data and cache arent enough.
I tried flashing it, and also got status 7. Gonna take a look and see if i can fix it.

Yeah. Formatted everything in the wipe menu of TWRP except sd and emmc. Tried and failed to install the ROM with the same error.
Restored. Then re-installed cmrecovery to check by formatting in it's mounts and storage menu, but I got the same result.
Let me know how your install goes. I have a bad feeling it isn't the rom file.

After messing with this for a few hrs im sad to say i give up. It has multipul errors, every time i fix one a new one pops up. The updater-script had numerous errors and the system folder is missing a bunch of files.

Thanks for spending time to assist me regardless. I'll figure something out. Though I'm open to anyone else that might some insight or
information regarding this issue.
It's beyond frustrating to me.
Well, fixed all my problems. I just installed Tiny's cm 10. Everything seems golden. Camera's working, gallery's available.:good:
Thanks for narrowing the problem down to the ROM, I know you put some time into that.
Resolved,

Let me first apologize for all of the information, but I wanted to give you guys as much to go on as possible.
TLDWR - Can't flash roms, can't decrypt phone, can't wipe data, can't mount internal storage, can't use ODIN....where next?
Here is what I got:
SPH-L710
Android vers - 4.2.2
Cyanogenmod vers - 10.1.0-d2spr
Was getting flaky reception when I was on 10.0.0 nightly, decided to update to 10.1.2. Downloaded the the required files through Rom Manager, rebooted into CWM Recovery version 6.0.3.1 (non-touch) and did the install (dirty)....booted up and the ROM itself worked, but all my apps were getting "stopped unexpectedly". I figured, ok, did a dirty update so stuff isn't working; I'll redo it and this time wipe everything (after backup of course). When I went to do this, I noticed that it did not mount my sdcard (internal storage, not external sd card). I thought was odd, tried manually mounting, didn't work, tried rebooting recovery and that didn't work. Thought maybe it was a fluke, tried wiping and reflashing 4.2.2 (CM 10.1.2).....it went very quickly. Rebooted, and all of my stuff is gone, which is good, but now it won't let me restore apps.
At this point, I decided I'd had enough of trying to upgrade, so I decided to downgrade back to my old CM 10.0.0....long story short, the flash went quickly, booted up, things worked, but still had the same problem with the apps. I could see the data on the internal storage when the phone was booted, but it never saw it in recovery mode. After doing some reading, I saw where the filesystem changed when going to 4.2.2 so that you can use the new profiles feature. This seems to be what caused CWM Recovery to not see my internal storage anymore.
I thought well, maybe it's because I am back on 10.0.0, so I tried downloading and flashing 10.1.0. It did the same quick flash and showed after boot that I was running on 10.1.0, but I still couldn't mount internal storage (sdcard) in Recovery. I said screw it, reinstalled my apps and decided to truck on with how it was. Short version here - installed mobileiron and touchdown, ran through the encryption in mobileiron, etc etc...mobileiron didn't recognize touchdown and I could not get LEAP for wifi to work.
Decided I would try to decrypt and completely wipe phone. Removed Mobileiron as administrator, tried to decrypt - could not. Tried tweaking security settings, reboots, adb mount and format - all to no avail. Tried wiping in recovery....this failed because it cannot read my storage (because it can't mount it and it is now encrypted)!
With the phone booted up and running adb shell, I can get to the main file system, but my sdcard, data, data/media directories all look empty. I can't mount sdcard through ADB either.
When all of this failed, I looked to ODIN to fix my woes...no luck here either. Downloaded the stock Sprint ROM (4.1.1 L710VPBLJ7 L710SPRBLJ7 ) and tried flashing it but I get hung up on the "Setup Connection"...in ODIN. I have tried multiple drivers, usb ports, battery pulls, etc...I even tried from another PC.
I know this is a lot of information and I apologize again. If you read through all that, thanks for being thorough...if not, I will answer your questions, but hopefully won't have to repeat a bunch of info again.
My end all questions are - where do I go from here? What other options do I have? Is there any repair place I might be able to take this to that they might be able to decrypt/flash the phone to stock for me?
Thanks in advance,

Where did you download your stock Rom from? Did you FULLY uninstall drivers from Windows, before reinstalling?

I got the link to the stock stuff through ODIN from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2189539
Missed your other question the first time I read your post....Yes, I uninstalled the drivers, rebooted, reinstalled the drivers. Tried connecting on another PC as well.
Ok, little bit of an update.
I went through Recovery and was messing around trying to mount and wipe...I couldn't mount data or sdcard, so I figured I couldn't just format them either. WRONG! I was able to format /data and /data/media, which then let me mount /data. After doing this, I rebooted recovery and I could mount sdcard...so I did and formatted it.
Now, I had my old version of CM 10.0.0 on my external sd card, so I installed that and booted up...WOOT - back to blank CM 10.0.0!
Now I've got all my data and apps saved to a folder on my PC, if I can just figure out a way to put them back on the phones storage and restore from my backup...

It's sounds as if you should start a totally clean install, then backup your downloaded apps with Titanium Backup after you get ROM setup again.

Another update:
I couldn't get my backup to restore correctly....I kept getting an error restoring /data. Luckily I had an older backup from several months further and was able to restore that. After doing so, I had to remove my google accounts, readd them, and reinstall my mobile iron client for work and I am now good to go!
Man, that was a nightmare.....thought I had soft-bricked my phone.
How do I mark this thread as solved now?
