So I got a new 16 gb SD Card, I'm not sure if there is a proper way to transfer all your files from one to another but I just copied all the contents from my 4 gb card onto the new one.
Everything has been fine so far but when I tried to do a nandroid backup (using ClockworkMod Recovery 1.8.1.4) I got an error message:
E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 (or /dev/block/mmcblk0)
(Invalid argument)
Can't mount /sdcard
I tried reflashing the recovery through the Rom Manager app but it still gives me that error message.. Will I have to reflash Amon's recovery using fastboot? Does this have anything to do with the fact I'm using a new card?
Thanks in advance for any help
i had a similar problem. my 8gb memory card would NOT let me restore a nand backup. it would create the backup just fine, but would not restore. i got some error saying "run nand.restore mobile via terminal" or some such thing.
i never did figure it out. but when i copied the EXACT contents of that memory card to a different card, nand backups and all, it suddenly worked fine. identical files.
i even formatted the card to make sure, but still wouldnt work. good luck
Yea Roger, I've tried transferring the contents of the old SD card but it doesn't help.
Anyone else ever have troubles switching to a new SD card? I can't do anything from the recovery, flash from SD, format SD, nandroid backup or restore etc. I've tried reformatting the SD card as well as transferring the contents of the old SD card to the new one, still doesn't work.
Any help would be much appreciated.
For anyone who ever has a similar problem, I figured out that my issue was with the Mac Disk Utility I used to format my SD Card.. I tried formatting on a Windows machine and the recovery was able to mount my SD card again.

I lost my sd card data flashing a rom. Could not mount it even thru recovery. Got a card reader, but it won't format it.
Using Mini Partition Tool to troubleshoot. I am not at a point where it shows three partitions. The main 16gb unallocated, logical. The ext3 unformatted 500mb, primary (think I did that by mistake when trying to recover partition). And a 32mb unallocated, logical. All zero used memory.
I need to get back to one partition allocated, primary. Then I can get sd data back on it and reformat thru recovery.
Again using Mini Partition Wizard
Any help please!
OK,
I got it repartitioned as primary and formatted, bu sd card from pc now.
Hope phone recognizes it.
Will update, if I need further help.

If you want a good program to format your sd card, try SD Formatter.
Download and install that, plug in your sdcard into your sd card reader and format it.
Choose Full Erase On (if possible) and Resize On. It will format your sdcard to factory default and that means even the ext partition will be gone too.
Well, all transferred. Still won't mount. Says can't mount either of the dev/blocks mmcb1k0p1 and mmcb1k0.
Staus bar says sd card damaged.
?????
musashiken,
Thanks, typing while you posted. Based on my last post should I still do that?
Ken
Yeah I think you should try to reformat again with the program I suggested, as that will full format your sd card.
Once done, put your sd card back to the phone and create ext partition in recovery.
At work now but will be working on it.
Thanks
Ken
musashiken,
Thanks, appreciate all your help
That program worked, and I am back up and running
Ken
Glad it worked for you. My sd card kept giving me problems and I have to use this every few rom flashes.
I have a similar problem. I installed a new 32 gb SDHC card in a CDMA Hero running Cryogenmod. All was working well for about 10 days, then I got an error that no SD card was found. I had the original card and tried to get to the Clockwork recovery, no luck. Finally, through Rom manager, (flash alternate recovery to Ramon, then back to Clockwork, I was able to boot into recovery.
I still cannot format the new SDHC card, through Recovery, Windows 7, or the Panasonic program listed above. The Windows format option sees the card as a FAT 121mb card, so does the above program. Is this new card toast? It came with a lifetime warranty from Kingston, but I am mad that it did not make 2 weeks.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If sdformatter did not work it may be bad.
I always had good luck with it.
Did you have all options set per instructions?
hello every one,
today i had fased a strange prob. which i want to share with u all.
i am having google nexus 1 with cynogenmod 7 installed.
and having sandisk 8gb microsd card. and suddenly today morning it says that "SD card Blank or has unsupported filesystem." i took out my card and mount on my computer and take the entire backup of the data and format it. and incert it but still having the same prob. nothing happen, then i search on net i found on other threads that download the sd card formater and try it. i also tried the same but nothing happen, then on other thread it was mention that try to run chkdsk on computer, with /x comment.. i also done same but still prob. is same.
i am having 3 more micro sd cards of different brands and of different size i also tried them but giving same prob.
nothing happening.
i also open the terminal emulition in my phone and type the commmand mount -a but it says that /etc/fstab not exist.
tell me what i do ? even i am not able to do anything ...
Wow--that is tough to figure out and i am not good at this level of TS.
Sounds like you lost the mount point. It is in etc/fstab
Do you have a backup rom on pc that you can extract etc/fstab from or can you install that rom thru adb with no sd card--
http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/how-to-install-a-rom-to-an-android-phone-device-without-sd-card/
Can you mount card thru adb--
adb shell
mount /sdcard
exit
Did you use full ersase on and size adj on when you formatted card.
Can you format and partition card outside of phone.
Also, when formatting and wiping for flashing new rom you may want to get Temasek's Format zips that include boot and system wipes.

Someone will have a better and more accurate answer soon--

i used to have a sd ext...but then i formated it and this error came (E:format_volume: make_extf4fs failed on /dev/block/mmcblkop2)...now i always get this error when i wipe data/ system on the cwm...so if anyone know how to slove it...please help me...!!!
Something got messed up in your sd card.
Reformat and repartitio it:
Use a card reader and insert the sd-card to your pc. Make a backup of all its contents (remember to include hidden files), and then format it entirely. Repartition it, then copy your backup to your sd card.
Hi,
I am having an issue that I'd hope you would be able to help me with. I flashed CyanogenMod10, and everything was doing fine, smooth performance, reboots with no problems, but then suddenly one day it went bricked. I restored through the SmartFlashTool Method, and got back to the stock Rom with everything working except for the SD card.
I have tried out various stock ROMs and none seemed to recognize the SD card, outputting a message of "SD card removed. Please insert a new one."; getting on to ADB when trying to mount the SDcard I get this message "mounting /dev/block/mmcblk1p1 on /sdcard failed: No such file or directory", and while trying to mount the SD card in CWM Recovery, it tells me "E: Can't mount sdcard", and when I try to mount USB storage through CWM, I get "E:Unable to write to ums lunfile(no such file or directory)", and when trying to mount /sdcard on CWM I get a "Error mounting /sdcard" message... I hope people at XDA would be able to help me since I have been lurking through the forums and internet without any good answer. :highfive:
I was able to mount the SD card through ClockWorkMod Recovery v5.0.2.6, but again, barely at random times when it works, and after installing a ROM those times, the phone usually works for one hour or two and then gets bricked again. I can not have access to another CWM version since I need an SD card to flash it. To install CWM I am using a patched .bin and .fls files in the SmartFlashTool method of unbricking. When the SD card gets recognized, I can even reboot the phone and still get the SD card to be recognized. The SD card problems don't happen until the random bricks after flashing a ROM. :fingers-crossed:
I have also tried using several functioning SD cards of different capacities formatted in NTFS, FAT32 and exFAT with no luck. I am also not willing to go back to stock since it is buggy and lags a lot compared to CM7, CM10 and every other custom rom I have tried. :crying:
Thank you for any help you could provide me, or if you have any answer for this problem,

Yes I did try that last time but I only seem to get a "Can't mount sdcard" error. I haven't been able to get the phone to recognize any SD card on v10a, v20a, nor v20b stock roms.
I think It all started when I using linux to access the sdcard of my p970 2 days ago. I tried to rejected it safely but the computer said some error so I just unplug it anyway.
After that there are some unusual thing such as missing app.
Just then I found that the phone said "The sdcard is either empty or android cannot read this type of sdcard format..."
I used a card reader to check my sdcard but it is broken, so I do a quick format to it.
After that I want to do a clockworkmod recovery backup but it failed with a message
Waiting for SD card to mount (20s)
Waiting for SD card to mount (19s)
Waiting for SD card to mount (18s)
...
Waiting for SD card to mount (1s)
Cannot found SD card marker....
then it failed.
What should I do? I want to make a clean reinstallation.
try accessing to it by an usb adapter. copy datas if possible, then format. if you can't access to it at all, it means it's dead. if memory sectors become unreadable, it's dead.
I've borrowed my brother's sdcard...it works just fine.
So I guess the sd card is broken
In addition, when I checked it on the PC, I can do quick format successfully but the full format failed every time
be sure filesystem is fat32 and well partitionned (unique partition) . quick formating is enough.
if windows is dalaying the access to the card, it probably means the card is corrupted or dying
