Hey,
So today I tried to root my phone, and obviously I failed... Here's what I did:
1. Put the SuperUser files on my external SD card
2. Turned phone off
3. Went into fastboot (power + volume up)
4. On my laptop (the phone was connected through usb cable) I opened cmd and entered "fastboot devices" followed by "fastboot flash recovery CX.. bla bla (file name).
5. CWM Recovery was installed, and is working
Now here's the problem:
When I try to install anything in CWM, I get the the following errors:
E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/command
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
I tried:
- Reinstalling the Oppo recovery, dit not work
- Formatting and making my external SD card primary, did not work
After some research I found this method to push a (stock)ROM with adb fastboot. But even when I try that, it still says that my internal memory is not accessible. So there's basically nothing on my phone, and that causes the bootloop. My internal SD card seems not to be mounted..
Anybody who knows what to do?
Thanks in advance.
Jasper
-EDIT-
I managed to get my stock firmware running, but the internal SD card is still not mounted correctly. The phone is opperational and I can for example install apps and use them. In the File Manager the internal SD card doesn't show. When I open the camera app it says "No storage available".
Any clue on how to solve this?

Whilst attempting to install MIUI 1.14 I got an error that the zip was invalid or something along those lines. I then rebooted but the Desire got stuck in a boot loop. After wiping the phone and formatting the SD card it booted fine, however the SD card is still not recognised, ADB doesn't work and the USB debugging icon keeps coming up as though it keeps getting reconnected. When I try to mount it in recovery, I get:
E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 (or /dev/block/mmcblk0 (no such file or directory)
and
E:Can't mount SDCARD:/nandroid/
Any help much appreciated.
Oh, and the memory card works fine on an old Hero I have lying around so the problem isn't there. Is there anyway I can restore it to stock over USB? It boots fine and is recognised in fastboot, as well as showing up in device manager.

forget the hero
the problem IS the sdcard if recovery cannot mount it as well as the rom
these are two seperate os's
if the zip file was not intact then it would point to there being sdcard corruption and the bootloop will also happen due to faulty SD
If i were you i would put it in a card reader and use h2testw to check the integrity of the card
if that is successful then format the card from the device itself in settings>sdcard & storage
Thanks for the advice. I don't currently have a micro SD card reader (only an SD card one), although I can get one tomorrow fairly easily.
However, given I formatted the card from the Hero's recovery would it not make more sense to go straight to a new SD card? I might be able to borrow one to confirm, regardless. Oh, and how is the ADB issue likely to tie into all of this?
Issue started after a nandroid backup (using clockwork 2.5.0.5). Backup froze, i ended up pulling the battery. When i go back into clockwork to try the backup again i now get the following:
clockwork recovery v2.5.0.5
e:can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 (file exists)
e:can't mount CACHE:recovery/command
e:can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 (file exists)
e:can't mount CACHE:recovery/command
e:can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 (file exists)
I wiped cache, factory reset, wiped dalvik. Even tried formatting boot system, system, data and cache. Was able to reload stock 2.1 through hboot, re-rooted, but get same error and cannot get clockwork to mount sd-card to go any higher.
When I try to mount sd-card through clockwork the following appears:
e:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk1p1 (or /dev/block/mmcblk1) (no such file or directory)
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Is the SD card full?
Absent that, perhaps make a copy of the SD card on PC, reformat FAT32, place last known working backup on SD and see if you can restore that backup.
If that fails, perhaps d/l another ROM on PC, transfer to SD card, flash, see what you get.
I tried two different sdcards. Both were formatted as fat32. From the articles i have looked at i think i may have screwed up the internal storage. Followed this article:
h t t p://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/6433-solved-messed-up-partitions-on-internal-storage
They say to run "parted /dev/block/mmcblk0 mkfs ext2". When i do that it formats the sdcard to ext2. Still have the same issue. Doesn't appear to see the internal at all.
What command can i run from adb shell to display all the storage, volumes or partitions the system i can see?
Again any help is greatly appreciated!
I think just typing command 'mount' will list all mounts.

SkyRaider Sense 3.5
Radio 2.15.00.09.01
Hello all,
i have been around on the site for a while reading, learning, and rooting my DInc. I have SkyRaider 3.5 w/ stock kernal. Currently running CWM 2.5.0.5. I was going to dip into the realm of setting CPU settings for different functions. I DLed SetCPU from the market and installed. i figured this would be a good time to do a backup through CWM in case i eff something up. after the backup completed, i selected the "reboot system now"
Upon rebooting, it loaded into my lock screen with the stock background and clock, not the ones i had before the backup process. when i did the slide unlock, it would just go to an all white screen with the htc green logo in the middle, and all my buttons but the power button were useless. strange i thought.....so i pulled the battery and proceeded into the CWM again to restore to a previous backup. got into CWM just fine, but now i had 5 message lines at the bottom of the CWM screen:
E:Cant mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p2
(file exists)
E:Cant mount CACHE:recovery/command
E:Cant mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p2
(File exists)
E:Cant mount CACHE:recovery/log
E:Cant mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p2
(File exists)
Then, i go into the backup and restore option, and select restore, it kicks me back to the main menu with 5 more messages:
E:Cant mount /dev/block/mmcblk1p1 (or /dev/bloc
k/mmcblk1)
(No such file or directory)
E:Cant mount /sdcard
E:Cant mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p2
(File exists)
E:Cant mount CACHE:recovery/log
E:Cant mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p2
(File exists)
I've tried doing a wipe data/factory reset, and it gives me a bunch of mounting errors and basically skips all format, then kicks me back to main menu in less than 3 seconds.
I've done a fair amount of research for this and can't find anything related to the DInc for this issue. Seen it on a few other devices (earlier droids) but not sure how much that info pertains to this device.
unfortunately i do not have a micro-sd card reader on my computer, so i have not tried re-flashing my ROM since i do not have a ROM on my SD card, not sure if it would be of any use since it sounds like my SD card is not mounting properly.
I will probably go out and buy a universal card reader (should come in handy) as well as a second SD card in case it happens to be the SD card that crapped out.
I figured I'd get this up here anyways to see if anyone can help.
Thanks so much for any advise or fixes you may be able to offer!

update
well, i managed to do a couple hboot updates and basically return my phone to the way it was when i got it from the store. i have no idea what caused it, but the original sd card still works, albeit reformatted, and the phone is functioning perfectly so far. I'm still curious to see if anyone had any ideas about what happened. sorry i can be of service to troubleshoot since i fixed it (the long way). my phone is too vital and i have travel coming up.
Thanks,
Trey
When I tethered my incredible to my pc I would get errors. I've had to actually run defrag on my sd card. I actually have several Micro sd readers but I was lazy and did this after tethering to my pc. Seems to have fixed the problem
So, I decided to try to go back to root last night, with the help of Preludedrew. rooted using unrevoked3 and updated to CWM 3. when it was all finished, it left me in CWM recovery and i had new E: errors:
E:Can't mount /dev/recovery/log
E:Can't open /dev/recovery/log
E:Can't mount /dev/recovery/last log ?
E:Can't open /dev/recovery/last log
when i would try to mount cache or sdcard, it would still fail, and when trying to load zip from sdcard, it would error in trying to mount sdcard.
with some more help from drew, we tried using adb shell to mount/access some partitions, and the mmcblk0p2 (i think) could not be found on the device.
thankfully the phone still booted this time, but i went into the phone settings under SD & storage...and the sdcard was there showing my 15GB of total/available space.
But....under the internal phone storage section, it said "unavailable" for both total space and available space.
so the only thing we could somewhat deduce, is that the internal phone memory has crapped out, thus when i RUU'd (?) back to stock, it could not find my phone internal storage so it just reassigned my sdcard to the 0p1 block, and where the sdcard should be in the 0p2 block there is nothing. Hence why cwm cant find anything related to my sdcard since its looking in the 0p2 block.
so now that i'm back to stock, i'll take it to the verizon store today and see what they'll do about it since the internal memory seems to be crap. i have insurance, so i dont think it will be a problem getting a new phone, unless they want to try to replace the internal memory, which is fine with me.
unless anyone has any other ideas?
sorry for the noobish verbage, i'm trying to remember what i all did at 1230 last night.
Thanks,
sorry for the quick reply, but i just had the idea to try mounting my device as disk storage, since it should come up as 2 drives (internal phone and sdcard) on my computer
both drives show up under my computer, sdcard access is fine, but when i try to access the other drive, i get "please insert a disk into drive G:"
and when i switch back to charge only, it will only say "preparing sd storage" and doesnt do "preparing phone storage" like i thought i remember it doing when it was still good.
I guess just another reaffirmation that the storage space is crap.
I was using my A100 and an application wasn't working. So i returned home, but then my A100 was blocked (I couldn't do anything). So I rebooted it, but it doesn't boot up. I can access recovery, so i tried to wipe cache. But this messages appear:
E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/command
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
-- Wiping cache...
Formatting /cache...
E:format_volume: make_extf4fs failed on /dev/block/mmcblk04
Cache wipe complete.
I can't make a backup, because it says "Can't mount backup path."
I have the first clockworkmod for the A100 installed. Please, help me.
I can't mount /sdcard too. It says: "error mounting /sdcard".
There has been alot of this happening lately. What ROM were you running when this happened?
Also, in CWM, verify which SD card is being used for backup/restore, and try toggling it around to the other one.
Also, in advanced>mounts try mounting the partitions like /system /cache /data etc and see if it gives anymore errors.

I was running the first ZeroNull Mod. When i try mounting anything, it says: "Error mounting /system!", "Error mounting /data!" and "Error mounting /cache!". Can you explain how to verify whick SD card is being used for backup/restore?

I run TWRP so this is by my phone's CWM:
Main CWM Screen
>Backup and Restore
>backup
>restore
>advanced restore
>backup to internal sdcard<<<<<try this
>restore from internal sdcard
>advanced restore from internal sdcard
>go back
Also under Mounts try /sdcard and /emmc
Don't format, just see if anything available for mounting CAN mount, or if they all fail. Also check Mount as USB storage for mounting or failing.
CWM by default uses sdcard, which is external. TWRP by default uses internal sd, however once toggled stays on external if you set it.
Then, one last thing to ask, and this is gonna get annoying I'm sure.
Go to Mounts
Select Mount /cache, /system /data /sdcard one more time each
Go back out to main menu, choose advanced
Select show log, and send what it says for each of those mounts. I mean if it says something past E can't mount /cache or whatever.

I don't have emmc as a mount option.
I will try tomorrow the other solutions you will post, because I'm going to bed now. Thank you.
Phone will not mount sd card. Is available from the recovery and from the android.
Recovery message:
E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 (or /dev/block/mmcblk0). (no such file or directory) E:Can't mount /sdcard.
Android: Go to Settings>Storage Settings and I see "Insert an SD card for mounting", but my card is already inserted!
SD card is ok because it works on another device and pc.
please help

I had the same problem yesterday, i used the "fastboot oem enableqxdm 0" command, and then i flashed the "4eXT Recovery Touch v1.0.0.5 RC9" (links below) recovery to use the "usb unbrick" feature.
