I am trying to mount my SD card via console in recovery, I get
mount: mounting /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 on /system/sd failed: Invalid argument
Any ideas whats wrong?
In recovery you can try:
mount -a
to just mount everything. Try that out.
Are you trying to copy files to the sdcard or the extX partition? It looks like the ext partition because that's blk0p2...
The sdcard would be ums_enable.
I'm incredibly green when it comes to this, so please bear with me.
During the Linux screen where it asks me to Hold down the Volume Up or D Pad Button the Installer never launches when I do either action. What does happen however is, I see stuff being typed as I press the middle DPAD Button and nothing at all being typed when I press the Volume Up. Every other button is assigned characters such as ^2, ^3, ^4, etc.
No matter what button I've tried holding during that part, nothing every launches or opens.
Help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

I've tried it, nothing happens. It just types another ^@ symbol, no matter how long I hold, or how many times I stop holding and rehold.

Have you tried reflashing? Maybe try different versions of the kernel?

I did this but I was not aware that it wipes out windows mobile 6.5-I thought this was a dual boot install

It doesn't unless you are installing in NAND. If you run from SD card, it will tell you that it is about to wipe all your data, but that only relates to Android files present in your card.

Same problem
I am having the same problem. Used different kernels, tried to install from nand and SD card. Used 2 different SD cards and the same problem, the installer fails to load.
Mentioned this in Myms thread but no reponses

Did have this working, but went back and did the "Verizon GPS fix". After that the installer would never load.
Thanks

Try to hard reset your WM and then use HaRet.

Ok, so you CANNOT get into the installer? Do you ultimately want to use sd or nand? After doing the verizon GPS fix, did you reflash an android nbh?
would rather use nand. I have tried many different android nbhs from back in FEB . to the most recent dated kernels.

Ok, so after running the verizon gps fix you did flash an nbh (correct?) and now when the phone boots you can't get into the installer by holding a button or the screen?

Hi i moved some files from system/app into the sd card to get some space so i could use the metamorph app but i didnt work so i was going to move back the files from the sd card to system/app but now they wont move there anyone know a soloution how to do this?
thanks in advance
system is readonly
you must do an
adb shell
mount /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
then you can fool around with your system apps
mount /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system || I wrote that but it says
"mount: mounting /dev/block/mtdblock3 on /system failed: Device or resource busy"
i rooted my phone yesterday quite knew to android and i have no clue what to do
You are doing that in recovery mode right?
I tried in ClockworkMod Recovery v2.5.0.1 but it says Device or resource busy :/ have no clue.
ClockworkMod has a nice green menu on screen from where you can see (partitions menu) which partitions are already mounter and which are not.
You can also do adb shell and run "mount" in it to see which partitions are mounted and in what way. ClockworkMod has /etc/fstab so you can mount system just by running "mount /system". If system is already mounted, you can cd to /system/app and try "touch test". If you get permission denied then your system is mounted read-only otherwise you will see test file in /system/app if you run "ls".
I did adb shell and did run "mount" and it says /dev/block/mtdblock3/ on /system type yaffs2 <ro>
I downloaded a app called root explore and the main reason for that was so i could move some files from system/app so i could get some free space so i could use metamorph that was my plan and i moved some files i have eard you could move that wouldnt harm anything but it wasnt enough free space, so my plan was to move back the files i had moved into the sd card some went great but i have like 4 files that i cant bks it says "You cannot paste here because the file system is read-only" is there any other way to push those file into the system/app again? have tried the things u wrote up.
And im not a very pro of theese things i started with this yesterday so excuse me for being stupid!
This:
/dev/block/mtdblock3/ on /system type yaffs2 <ro>
...means that system is mounted read-only (mind that "ro" at the end).
Try running "mount -o remount,rw /system". If it doesn't help run "cat /etc/fstab" and post here the output. You need to be in recovery mode while doing this of course!
did "mount -o remount,rw /system" and it said mount: can't find /system in /proc/mounts
and the other one said
/dev/block/mtdblock4 /cache yaffs2 rw
/dev/block/mtdblock5 /data yaffs2rw
/dev/block/mtdblock3 /system yaffs2 rw
/dev/block/mmcblk0p1 /sdcard vfat rw
/dev/block/mmcblk0p2 /sd-ext auto rw
used my brain a little now and in the recovery settings i did mount the /system in the menu and now i tried to write cd /system/app and now in the cmd it is like this "/system/app #" anything useful?
Sure... as I already told you try to run "touch /system/app/test". This command shoud make empty test file in /system/app. If you get permission denied then you have read-only system. If it suceede, then your /system is writable and you can see all the contents of /system/app by runing "ls".
I wrote that and it wrote the same
"touch /system/app/test"
no permmission denied then it may have worked?
i checked and there is a testfile in /system/app now
I think i got it to work now thanks man for all your help!
Hi!
I have rooted my phone (LG Optimus 2X) and mistakenly deleted some files.
I have these files, and want to push them back using adb, put my problem is, that when i try to mount the system in read / write mode using "adb remount" i get this error: "remount faileded: Operation not permitted".
I can't figure out how to fix it, i can pull files etc.
I have also tried to use the adb shell, and copy the files from the internal sdcard, but i'm getting the same error.
Only read-mode.. :/
Anybody who can help, fixing this problem?
If you want to mount /system just write:
mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
Then you're good to go

A little easier to type...
Mount r/w
Code:
busybox mount -o,remount -rw /system
Mount r/only
Code:
busybox mount -o,remount -r /system

Hi:
I've messed up my Note 9 pretty bad, such that no partitions mount in TWRP except cache - I'll need to do a data wipe, but I need to save data that I have in the Internal SD.
I've discovered via fdisk in TWRP that the media part - the Internal SD is partition sda25 - however can
t mount it in the terminal through a simple: mount /dev/block/sda25 /mnt
I get an error: mount failed: Invalid argument
I've tried: mount -t sdcardfs /dev/block/sda25 /mnt
This gives me also an error: mount failed: Not a directory
Mounting with -t vfat or exfat gives the Invalid argument error.
Anyone can help me with how to mount it, so that I may copy data off of it manually? I don't want to lose it. Many thanks.

cant you simply wipe the affected partitions(except data of course)? then flash a rom?
have you tried;
mount /sys/block/sda25 /mydata
or
mount /dev/block/sda25 /mydata
or
adb
mount -o rw /dev/block/sda25/data /mydata
in both cases /mydata is just the mount point so I believe it can simply be called what ever you want including just /data
have you read:
https://android.stackexchange.com/q...data-partitions-in-recovery-mode-in-adb-shell
edit:
by any chance when you first flashed twrp, did you forget to format data?
if yes then flash back stock AP file(original phone's firmware) in Odin AP slot only and you should be good to go.( you shouldn't loose any files in internal storage)
