cgm updater problem - G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hi all.. i have a g1 ,cgmod 4.2.1 flashed with a sigle_update method. now i'm trying to update with cgm updater to a 4.2.4 , but after update download, when i choose to apply the new rom, the g1 reboots in recovery mode, and shows this error :
E:cant mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 (or /dev/block/mmcblk0) (no such file or directory)
e:cant mount sdcard :cm-updates/update-cm-4.2.4-signed.zip
installation aborted
if i rename the 4.2.4-cgm file, in "update" and then try to install in recovery mode (alt+s ??) WITHOUT performing a wipe, i will lost google apps?
thanks in advance!!

Something maybe wrong with your SDcard
You can still move the update file to the root of your SD and be able to flash it. No you wont lose google apps

thanks a lot!!! yes i think there is someting wrong with my new sdcard.. maybe wrong partition method... thank you for the reply..

Help in Recovery mode

I've been searching the forum and google but I've finally come to just ask.. so be gentle!!
I'm running RC33 1.42 and I'm trying to load a theme. It's renamed "update" but come ALT+S I get this error in the installation
" E: Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 (or /dev/block/mmcblk0)
(Invalid Argument)
E: Can't mount SDCARD:update.zip"
Regular reflashes of RC33 work for me but doing the themes just ain't helping me.
Can anybody help me out!? Any help would be greatly appreciated
Did you extract it then rezip it? it may not have been signed properly then. Make sure you're downloading the zip and simply renaming it.
That's all I can think of.
its not a file problem, its a problem with mounting and installation...
i figured it out... sd card went caput so much for a waste of four Gigs

Partition Problems, trying to flash to a new rom

hey need a little help..
Okay so I rooted my phone, then installed haykuro spl and then JF 1.5
but I want to flash over to eclair 2.0.1 by manup so I realized I had to partition my harddrive..
I used sdparted.txt to make my hard drive partitioned then did a factory reset (alt+w) from my system recovery
now when i Open my sdcard in the reader or the phone I have a blank folder nothing in the partition... is this the partition i need to upload the update.zip to so I can flash over to the eclair??
if not what partition do I use and how do I push my update.zip there???
I place the update.zip in the empty folder and when i try to flash from cyanogen 1.4 I get the error
Code:
E:Can't Mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 (or /dev/block/mmcblk0)
(I/0 error)
E:Can't mount SDCARD:update.zip
Installation aborted.
Please Help
bump still looking for help..
perhaps something went wrong when partitioning your sdcard. Try doing it manually through the recovery console.

[Q] Internal SD Card isn't recognized

Hi everybody
I was on the newest DarkyRom version on my SGS GT-I9000.
But last week I got the SGSII. So i wanted to flash the SGS back to stock to sell it.
A tutorial told me to flash JPU first and then update later to newer versions.
I did this and the phone was back to the original firmware (everything worked fine).
But when I tried to boot it this morning it got stuck in a bootloop.
So I tried to flash JPU again. But this didn't help.
I got error messages on first startup like:
Code:
update media. please wait
E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1
(No such file or directory)
E:copy_dbdata_media:Can't mount SDCARD:
your storage is not prepared yet. please use UI menu for format and reboot actions.
copy default media content failed
Since then I have tried to flash many other firmwares. Stuff between 2.1 and 2.3.6.
But nothing helped. The same error on first startup after flash and then bootloop.
Someone told me to flash CWM via ODIN an see if the SDCard was mounted.
Turned out it's not. When I try mounting the SDCard in the CWM recovery mode I get the following:
Code:
E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 (or /dev/block/mmcblk0)
(I/O error)
Error mounting SDCARD:!
Is there any way to get the phone back to life or is the internal SD card just broken and do I have to send the phone in?
Greets
no one got an idea?
I guess not... :S
I have the exact same problem. But I didn't even tinker with my phone. I started crashing daily and now it doesn't even boot anymore.
