does anyone know to mount the g1 to the pc using the recovery console

if you're running amon-ra's recovery, there should be an option that allows you to mount your g1 to the pc.

Problem with startup

I wiped my system because there was something wrong with the hero theme i was running. i booted back up and after i booted into the phone, i cant boot into the home screen, it boots for some reason into lock 2.0 and i didnt choose that as a default, why is it doing this? im running the dude's cupcake beta 12 and app2sd
Don't know...Never heard that occur before. I suggest a reflash of the ROM or even a e2fsck of the filesystems.
i hate when this stuff happens at work where my computer blocks me from plugging in something to the usb port so i have to wait until i leave

e2sfck? whats that?
Checking of EXT filesystems...Do you have cyanogen's latest recovery? 1.3.1?
no, i couldnt figure out how to install it, but i believe i put it in the appropriate place on the sd card to install it, can i put it up through the recovery console?
Depends, did you download the .zip version, or the .img version? If you have the .zip .. Go to recovery console and:
Code:
mount /sdcard
cd /sdcard
mv cm-recovery-1.3.1-signed.zip update.zip
recovery
Then you can try flashing it. CM Recovery also lets you mount your phone via USB, so if you need to reflash and don't have an image on your phone, drop to the recovery and run
Code:
ums_enable
Copy file to your card, eject on the PC
ums_disable
recovery
If you downloaded the .img version of the recovery, I'm not sure that it can be flashed without getting into the main OS. What happens when you try to unlock Lock 2.0? You didn't really say..

Mount USB command through console in recovery?

What is the USB mount command to mount the sd card to the computer?
adb shell ums_enable to mount
and
adb shell ums_disable to unmount
I think its enable_ums
mine works as ums_enable
Thanks guys!!
dont quote me off it!! i was going off memory, i havnt had to use that command in like months.
lol yuh david1171 had to show me cause i forgot lol.. i use ravs recovery so i dont use it either!
ums_enable
ums_disable

Alright so I've been looking everywhere

and I can't find the shorter way of mounting your SD card in your console.
I know it's something like
mount something something enable
Anyone know it?
Never mind found it but it doesn't seem to work!
My phones ****ed.
Evrytime I type in ums_enable this comes out
/dev/block/mmcblk/
And nothing happens
why not mount the usb by the recovery menu and use adb instead.
adb shell is the same thing as console.
I've never used ADB :/
Okay now it everytime I click on apply and zip from SD i get
E: Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0 p1 (or dev/block/mmcblk0) (no such file or directory) E: Can't mount SDCARD:
Dunno the actual command, but Amon_RA's recovery has the option build in.
I would definitley get Amon Ra's Recovery on your phone.....
From there it has an option to toggle usb on or off (which will mount your sdcard so your pc can see it)
Also it can partition your sdcard.
IMO Amon Ra's Recovery should be part of your "rooting" process.

How to mount the /system folder from recovery?

In the instructions from this article:
http:***//droidbasement.com/db-blog/?p=70
it is said that mounting the /system partition from recvovery is possible but I don't find find any option for that... So, is it a mistake or is there really an option to do it?

using a computer with adb set up, connect to usb and on computer, in command prompt, type:
adb shell mount -a
(should mount /system rw. Just did it and it did for mine)
It is possible in AmonRa's recovery. Go to console and type "mount /system" without the quotes. This can also be for "mount /sdcard" "mount /system/sd" and any partition in fstab.

Hello... not on a nexus one.
A) No console on nexus recovery because
B) It has no physical keyboard.
Oh ****... I thought I was in the Dream forum. My bad!
So I guess it was just a mistake in the article and that only ADB mount will do the trick. Thanks guys

[Q] Unable to mount /sdcard in recovery

I have a 32 GB SIM unlocked version and I am unable to mount /sdcard in either TWRP, CWM, or CWM touch. It gives me the error "Error mounting /SDCARD" or something like that when I try. Any help?
got the same question :/

I wasn't able to mount it, but I was able to transfer files to /sdcard using the adb push command. See if that works for you.
