Not sure when or what happened but I'm unable to mount now. I'm able to use adb and everything but unable to mount AT ALL via adb nor drop down on the notification bar. Any ideas? Yes i've searched and had other members try n figure out why.

If you have Cyan's 1.4 recovery, reboot into recovery, go to console and type
Code:
ums_enable
if it doesnt work, its hardware problem. Make sure its in right, pull it out, blow out any dust, put it back in.
If it does, its something wrong with your ROM install. Make sure its not your computer OS either
you have given absolutely no information on your set-up and its hard to diagnose anything if we don't know what you have
i have
jacXhero1.2
vista 32bit.
My thing is i can use adb with no problems at all, will register every time.
if you can use adb then it shouldn't matter if you can mount the phone, just adb push stuff to your phone if you need it, or pull it. you said you couldn't mount via adb so i guess that means you did "adb shell sdutil ums enable" and you still have ums enabled in your settings?
My whole thing is i want to be able to mount so i can put things on my SD Card and take things off like: music,pictures,videos.
did you try flashing your ROM again? when did it start happening
Go to Settings>Applications>Development and disable USB debugging, you can now mount on your computer to access files. Reenable when done.

Did you try it with a different card?
you don't NEED to mount to put things on your SD card, you can just do
Code:
adb push \users\me\music\file.mp3 \sdcard\music\file.mp3
or do the same thing to pull from the sdcard, as long as the phone is reading the sdcard then you can push/pull through adb to/from the sdcard

Ive used programs like TestDisk to get pictures from a "formatted" flash card. I forgot to backup my SMS messages before doing a wipe (backed up everything...). Is there a way I can access the phones built-in memory using software like TeskDisk?

Umm... you do know that when you format your hard drive you can still get some of the data back, right? Unless you use a secure erase program, the data is still on the hard drive. The same goes for flash memory. Format or delete images from your flash card and use TestDisk to see what you can get back. If you havent written anything to the drive, chances are you can get it all back. For your sake, I hope you securely wipe your hdds before throwing/giving them away. That goes for everyone.
Back to the topic. I just want to know how to access the built-in memory where this stuff is stored. Some type of developer tool maybe?
I'd personally like to know what this really has to do with development. You may be looking for some "developer tool" to recover lost data, but this adds nothing to any development going on or anything.

The chances of such a tool existing would be known by the smart developers/coders in this forum

Check the rules of the forum. This section isn't meant to ask developers something. It's meant for development.
I would try booting into recovery and then use adb to manually mount your partitions. I would assume you just need to mount the /data partition.. I know this works on my Magic so just check and make sure that you have the right block device if your running on a Dream!
1. open adb shell
2. make a new directory with mkdir "name of new dir"
3. mount /data with mount -t yaffs /dev/block/mtdblock5 "name of new dir"
4. open new terminal/command prompt and use adb pull command as follows
to bring the data partition over to your computer:
adb pull "name of new dir" "name of file to be placed on computer"
5. now see if you have any files and attempt recovery of your sms database
Good Luck
[EDIT] Oh yeah the other guy's are right you should post this type of question in General next time. Fortunately I'm not a **** so I posted how I would try to rescue my stuff and remember Nandroid would have saved your ass

Thanks nrmerritt, ill give it a try. How do I get root in adb shell via windows? When I try to mkdir, it says "Read-only file system"
Also, I do have a Dream (G1), any ideas which block to use?
Thanks
Are you using Amon_Ra's latest recovery? On my phone when I boot into recovery mode and connect with adb it's already in a root environment.
About the block device I would try the one I posted. You can always just do an "ls" command on the new directory you mounted it on before you copy it to the computer so can you see if/what files are possibly still left.
As a last resort effort you could also try the "dd" command to make an image of the partition while it's still on the phone then copy that to your computer with adb.
One more thing..If you did a wipe and rebooted your phone, your chances are not very good for recovery since the phone would have written a whole bunch of files to the data partition on first boot into Android. Side note, maybe one day Google will incorporate messages into sync and improve our lives a little.
I was trying to update the status bar on my i9000m/JH2. I must have done something wrong when zipping, signing, or zipaligning the file. I was able to apply the update.zip without any errors through recovery mode. But when i rebooted, I was met with continuous force close windows. I had my original backed up and wanted to place that into /sdcard and then simply run it from recovery mode to 'undo' the damage i did.
/sdcard appears empty when I run abd to my phone while in recovery mode. If i attempt to push a file to it, i get 'permission denied'. Do i need to manually mount /sdcard in recovery mode to be able to overwrite /sdcard/update.zip (can this be done)?
*snip*
On sec...

Reflash is only option now. Recommend in future you leave recovery update.zip on SD card and use root explorer to copy over new f/w. That way if no good you can recover easier.

If u get adb running why not just push it then ?
adb shell stop
adb push framework-res.apk /system/framework/framework-res.apk
adb shell start

/system should still be already mounted. Otherwise u wudnt see a homescreen.
Just try the commands.

One other detail is that the phone wasn't rooted At the time I thought that might have been preventing me from seein /system.
This is all educational for me, I was wondering what other options I had before reflashing. Thanks for all the input guys. I ended reflashing with Odin a few days ago.
i used this method to boot:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=920347
first it worked but i powered my nc off and since it didn't boot even if a kept the n button pressed,when i plug it on my computer adb dont detect it and the light is orange in charge and on computer
plz help me
thx
cwr
i boot from cwr and used this method:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=931720
but still doesn't boot
need help
please someone help me i don't know what to do
Does your NC totally not boot at all? If you followed instruction in this thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=931720 basically you are booting from SD. In this case, it has nothing to do what's on your internal flash. Check whether your SD card is created correctly.
it boots
it only boots from CWR
i had the same problem you have. i booted into CWM using the 1 gig sdimage, put the stock boot.img and system.img (from here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=919353) and did the dd commands from adb as shown there and my system booted normally.
i had a problem with the stock B&N usb cable where it didn't detect through adb at all. i had to use a different usb cable and it worked good.
i'll try
thx i'll try it tonight,it 1 pm in france^^,tell you if it worked
i don't have any other cable,i ll try to see at virgin tomorrow ,if you have an easier way let me know
the only other way i can think of doing that is to use nookie froyo and wireless adb. the problem with this method was when i tried doing that, i had no market, so i couldn't get wireless adb. i didn't feel like doing a workaround to getting that apk on there. problem with this method is i didn't know if the partitions would look the same or even show off the nook as i was working off the sdcard for froyo, so i wouldn't be able to say if this would actually work.
using the stock B&N cable, i noticed that the device would show in adb, but not online. so reading around i found out if u used a different usb cable it might work, so i did and it did work lol.

i looked at sam's method before as well, but didn't try it since i had luck with my usb cable connection for ADB usage. just dd-ing system and boot seemed to work for me and allowed me to keep it how i had it before (with all my previous apps installed). my partitions are probably still shorter though. flashing the zip looks like it'll restore everything to stock.
i bought a new cable,still don't work with adb ,windows detect it but it says it's two different devices and i cant change the driver,sooner nc booted under nookie froyo i don't know how,i'll try to boot again with 2.2 and work with adb from here
were u able to adb in the first place? i used this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=882751 to get it working. i also went through the nookdev site to get adb working. i was assuming it was my cable at least since it was tweaking (connecting/disconnecting) with the stock B&N usb cable.
still no adb even over nookie froyo,i try with your method
i have adb usb ,now i don't know how to do cause i only have a 2gb card so i only can put boot but not system on it,i don't know how to enter the command ,is it in adb shell?
i went through CWM and mounted system, data and sdcard. u use adb shell to get into the shell in the nook. then adb'd and
dd if=/sdcard/boot.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p1
dd if=/sdcard/system.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p5
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
did that. i guess u can put one file and then another file after the first file is dd'd. i used adb to push those img files to the sdcard.
i try it,could you make me a kind of how to with steps and stuff plz?

in your situation this is what i would do.
boot into cwm
mount system, boot and sdcard through the menus
without entering the shell (adb shell) type in: adb push <boot.img file location> /sdcard
now enter the nook's shell by type adb shell then enter
so you're in the nook's shell, and type "dd if=/sdcard/boot.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p1"
delete the boot.img file so you have enough space on for the system image by typing "rm boot.img" (make sure you're in the root of sdcard)
type exit to exit the nook's shell
now you're going to push the system.img to the sdcard: adb push <system.img file location> /sdcard
enter into the nook's shell again (adb shell)
type in "dd if=/sdcard/system.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p5"
once that is done reboot and everything should work just like before you ran that other script.
this is pretty much what i did. i'm on windows 7 x64 so i just dragged and dropped the files into the command prompt to get the file locations.
again: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=919353 for more reference of what i was doing.
it worked thx very much ,you are a god besides the humans
Title says it all. While trying to learn some theme tricks, I must have screwed something up in the framework, because I'm stuck in a boot-loop after rebooting.
Thanks to Aria's post, which describes an easy way to make an easy ADB shortcut, I'm all set to go with ADB... but how can I force my cell to mount my computer when it's turned off? I just need to push my backup onto my phone, because I copied my CWM backup onto my pc and deleted it from my cell to make more room for videos. Stupid, I know
Any ideas? Thanks!
Nevermind, I fixed it through CWM by flashing a .zip of part of the framework that I changed, and it rebooted fine after that. From there I could mount my device.
Still, I'd be curious to know how to mount a device that cannot boot properly, if anyone knows a way.
how did you fix it i am stuck on lg logo when i boot i would really appreciate any help you could give

You can mount the system like this. If it's in a bootloop and ADB is enabled, this'll work.
adb shell
su
mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/stl9 /system
exit
exit

Hi, new here and I have a question:
I broke the screen on my Cappy and just got a replacement. The thing is, I hadn't moved all my pictures and movies (and various other things) to the external SD card. I've been searching for a way to retrieve them and it doesn't seem to look good.
I've tried on 2 other phones to get into CWM and mount the USB storage from there (Since hard keys are my only option) and it didn't work there (same model and mod) or when I tried on the bricked phone (6 menu options down, 2 up to mount sd card).
The question is this:
How can I through some way get all this data downloaded to my PC? Boot loader, download mode, recovery... I know just enough to do what I need to do to mod my phone, but not enough to know how to do this.
Any help would be appreciated! You guys have helped me so much by your informative posts I would be humbled for you to help me specifically.
Install adb
If you had usb debugging enabled you cab just boot up, if not recovery will communicate with adb regardless.
Adb pull /mnt/sdcard (where ever you want it to go on your PC)

The following happens when I try:
C:\> adb pull /mnt/sdcard c:/sd/
pull: building file list...
pull: /mnt/sdcard/lost.dir/28 -> c:/sd/lost.dir/28
cannot create 'c:\sd\lost.dir/28': No such file or directory
Nevermind. It should have been:
C:\> adb pull /mnt/sdcard c:\sd\
In windows, file locations use back slashes. you're telling it to go to c:/sd/
Should be c:\sd and no final backslash.
