Well, one piece of information that could fix this whole problem is the spl. What spl do you have?

spl
I'm useing spl 1.33.2005 , I think it is danger spl.

I think that rom supports ext4 but if it was me, I would try re-partitioning and stopping at ext3. Just a thought. Also I would check the md5 check sum for the download or just re-download. Good luck.

tried
I tried the ext3 and I still get the error for some reason And I know Im a noob but what is MD5

wut size is ur swap partition >?

partition
Fat32 is 512 and swap is 96

Do you have the new Radio and SPL?
I have the new radio and spl
And ive redownloaqded at least 10 times
all with the same result
i formated my card sevral times as well still the same outcome
Its it just a reall bad batch of downloads in row???
You don't have new spl. Flash it again. I promise you that you dont
restart your phone with Camera+Power. if you dont see HBOOT-1.33.2005. then you dont have the newest SPL.

Huge Problem With Cyanogen Auto Apps2sd

So I partitioned my sd card so i would be able to automatically have apps to sd like the faqs of the cyanogen mods said, but now that i have done the process and partition my sd card 500mb ext, 34mb linux swap, not only has it not worked and the apps are still taking up memory on my phone, it is not noticing the secondary partition in the settings and when i reboot my phone, after the g1 screen and android screen, my phone just goes blank. does anyone have any input? ive wiped and reflashed the rom, now im just clueless. and if it matters, i used Paragon Partition Manager to partition my sd card.
You could re-partition it by using the console in recovery mode.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=533731
Look at the 2nd code box and follow it. This is how I did it my first time.
It is really easy.
yea the only thing is it is either saying not found, or error could not stat device dev/block/mmcblk0 no such file or directory. so im stuck i cant even format my card and get back to 8 gigs its sayin 6.06 gigs. ionno im stuck.
Can't you use your partition manager to delete the partitions you made? Then just make 1 partition: fat32, then use the code on the link.
I use paragon Partition mgr. and that is an option to use.
If you partion your card after flashing your rom, then you must reflash your rom for changes to take effect. You have to do that so the system can change the way it runs
Oops sorry, I just reread your first post and saw that I missed that you did reflash. Try going into your recovery console and type ums_enable to mount your card and than try downloading gparted and try to reformat that way, when you are done type ums_disable to unmount. Have you tried taking your sd out when you try to boot up just to see if you can get past, it is possible that your sd corrupted
its ok thank you both, i used the recovery erase all partitions and im gonna read the second box and partition threw the console instead of on the manager.
I just had the same thing happen to me earlier today. I have the 404 Cyanogen MOD and now my SD card is stuck. I can't figure out how to get rid of that partition. All of the directions are not step by step. And this rookie is stressed out. Please let me know where or which directions you used to format your SD.

To get it back to just a fat32 partition.... THIS WILL WIPE ALL DATA ON YOUR SDCARD!!!! MAKE A BACKUP OF FAT32 also this will only work with 1.3.1 and up cyanogen recovery image
boot into recovery and go to the recovery console and type
parted /dev/block/mmcblk0
rm 1
rm 2
rm 3 (if you have a linux-swap partition)
print (after the 4th or 5th line there is a number after a line that reads disk size or something and that will be the end value for the next command. Sorry on my g1 now)
mkpartfs primary fat32 0 xxxx(substitue with number above)
quit
reboot recovery
Then reflash your rom. That will clear all partitions of your sdcard and leave you with one whole partition that is fat32.

Tried 2 different Hero ROM's 2 fails

I am using a G1. I have have been running Cyanogen ROM's for a while now.
I wanted to try a HERO ROM. I pulled jachero2.3.6 and kingklick1.6.
I booted into Cyanogen 1.4 Recovery, performed my backup, and flashed the HERO ROM's. They both failed with E: can"t chown/mod/system/xbin/nano (No such file or directory)
E: failure at line 42: set_perm 0 0 04755 SYSTEM:xbin/nano
Installation aborted.
Anyone got an idea if I'm doing something wrong?
Do I need to complete reformat my Card and recreate my ext partitions?
That would suck.
First, do you have the newest radio and danger spl? If so you need to wipe, wipe ext, flash, wipe, boot.
hm...sounds weird... try mligns new hero. its like 2.49 or something? his are always super fast and really good...what size sd card and what class do you have? what about the size of your partitions?

BART: mounting dev block mmcblk0p2 on system sd failed no such file or directory

OK I need help... I am not a noob but I cant seem to figure this one out.
I was running CM nightly 238 with the new 15 MB Hboot and radio, cm 2708port kernel, and custom MTD. everything was fine, I made a change in settings to adjust compcache and VM heap size and rebooted.... and when it started up my ext partition was gone.... So I decided to go ahead and restore a BART backup i made a day earlier.. But now bart gives an error: mounting dev block mmcblk0p2 on system/sd failed no such file or directory. I looked and there is no system/sd anymore... (I think there was, at least I KNOW bart worked the day before) So I wiped and reflashed my 238 build again and fr-patch is giving me a new error, after removing 05mountsd, and running fr-patch140.txt sdext it says that fdisk: cant open /dev/block/mmcblk1 no such device or address.... and that sd-ext mount is installed but it is not right and that I should make some noise... So I am.
I have tried, re-formatting and partitioning my sdcard with Recovery, and many other bits of code I found while searching google and XDA,, and still no luck... So any advice is really appreciated!
Also after this last attempt to re-partition, using default sizes via amon RA, I now cant mount sdcard via PC, but i can push to it with ADB....
--EDIT--
It turns out all this was because my ext partition was gone because the sdcard is corrupt. So I need to fix it some how. Because it seems the size has got messed up... it says total 16.2G.. and they are never over..usualy a little under. also when I try to reformat using amon RA gparted utitlity it says error: file system full, when it tries to make the ext partition... yet I have removed all the partitions using rm 1 , rm 2 ....ect

[Q] Please help - can't boot into recovery mount error

(Please let me know if this is the correct forum!)
I have a Motorola Milestone 1 (A853) with Open Recovery 1.46 on a 16GB card. I've been using this to try new roms for over 2 years now. Everything was fine until I tried to create an ext 2 partition using MiniTool Partition Wizard, but things went sideways. Needless to say I wiped the card, created a new 10GB Primary Partition on it and a 4 GB ext2 for further usage. Then, I restored backup items on the card (pictures etc.) plus a fresh new version of Open Recovery. Now, every time I am at the Recovery menu and try to apply sdcard:update.zip I get this message:
E:Can't open cache/recovery/command (<-- this is nothing new - seen it many times before but still able to boot into open recovery)
-- Install from sdcard...
Finding update package...
E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 (or /dev/block/mmcblk0)
(Invalid argument)
E:Can't mount SDCARD:update.zip
Installation aborted
.. any ideas what to do?
It seems like your phone dont mount the sdcard properly.
Try out a 2ndboot OR. (there is one from kabaldan and one from FuFu)
get a proper sdcard, and unzip to the root OpenRecovery from this url: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1897048
And voila! :good:
Thanks for the assistance guys.
The card is fine, It is seen in Windows perfectly with the 2 new partitions, but the phone is not seeing it. I was following MrTapa's guide here before the trouble started: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1750888 . When the card worked before, it was formatted using NTFS and both Windows and the phone could see it. Now, the 10 GB partition is NTFS and it has the additional 4 GB ext2 partition. Windows sees it, the phone does not.
Does Skrilax_CZ's note have anything to do with it? "If file "/system/etc/install-recovery.sh" exists on your Milestone, delete it (prior to flashing the SBF)" <-- from http://modmymobile.com/forums/563-m.../531599-open-recovery-v1-46-11-21-2010-a.html

NTFS?
Replace it with FAT32. Then it should work.
In the link you provided check step 9 (though FAT32 should work fine even with 2GB cards)
Ok - so reformatted 10GB partition to Fat32 and loaded OpenRecovery again to root of sd card - same error. I might also mention that I tried Fat32 on another smaller (2GB) card with an ext2 partition and it gave the same error. I'm beginning to believe that this phone has a problem with multi-partition sd cards?
Just tried the original way - one partition using NTFS ... same error. Frustrating .. over 3 days on this now ...
NTFS and Android can not work.
Unless someone included ntfs-3g into the kernel - but that would be a madman's work...
Delete every partition off your sd card, boot up Android, it will prompt you to format it, do it.
Copy recovery (OpenRecovery directory + update.zip) to sd card, try booting to recovery.
If it works resize FAT partition created by android to make space for an ext partition, boot Android again to see if it's ok with the changes.
Solved - if anyone is trying create an additional ext2 partition remember that BOTH the FAT32 and EXT2 must be created as PRIMARY. The app I was using defaulted to logical ...
