help please, E: No zip files found - G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I haven't used my g1 since the summer and I wanted to update everything. While I was in Amon_RA's recovery (RA-dream-v1.6.2) on my g1, [Alt+F] Flash zip from sdcard does not work for me for some reason, I did this last week and it worked just fine. Now I get a response of "E:No zip files found". This is very frustrating I've been on this for about 3 hours now and tried searching everywhere for some answers but no luck. The last thing I remember doing before all this happened was trying to get apps2sd to work, trying to partition my sd card and when I did it, it wouldn't let me flash any zips from my sd card. I have a 8gb sd card, I've also tried several other cards but it says the same thing to all my other cards. I formatted my sd card multiple times and still nothing. When I boot up the g1 and go into Astro file manager it reads the sd card with no problems. I tried going in terminal emulator and flash Amon_Ra 1.7.0 by typing in flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img nothing works. I just need it to read my sd card thats it. Please help me update my phone thanks

delete thread. wow apparently i extracted the folders after downloading it, now it reads it. smh

sd card help???

Ok.. the other day I had booted my phone into recovery so that I could do a nandroid backup, the backup was completed but when I restarted my phone I got a mess!get saying my ad card was damaged, it prompted to format which did nothing. I took the card out and plugged it into my computer which was able to see it and read the files. I am confused because my comp will read the card and I am able to flash files off the as card thru recovery. I have tried reformatting the card thru my pc and thru recovery but no luck.
I have read through a lot of different threads regarding as cards not reading or cards saying that they are damaged, but I have tried everything and my hero will not read the card and says its damaged.
If anyone has any ideas on what to do plz let me one.
Thanks
time for a new sd card.
I've had this happen to me many times and the file that's always the culprit is the file that contains the small images of web pages for the bookmark widget. Running a check disk in recovery mode fixes the prob right away.
I think the file is bookmark_thumb.1 or something like that.
I had the same thing happen to me on a
8 Gig sd. everytime i hooked to the pc it would ask to format and than would show damaged on my phone. I took mine out for a while and formatted it in my pc. Quick and regular. I used it to transfer files for a while not saying you have to do it this way. I have recently put it back in my hero and it is working fine. Its only a 8gig class 2 card. im looking into a higher class card soon.

Can't Partition SD for App2SD

First off, I apologize if this has been covered elsewhere. I've been searching for quite some time now, and haven't found an answer.
I'm running the newest ROM from DamageControl. I booted into the recovery menu, and tried to format my SD part SD:fat32+ext2+swap) and I get the following error:
Error: Run sdtools.sh via console!
The same happens when I try to do anything to the SD....wipe or partition. Is there a way to fix this, or is my SD card somehow corrupted? Please let me know.
EDIT: I'm using a Trandscend 8GB MicroSD. I tried with a Sandisk 2GB, and it worked fine. So I'm wondering if it's because of the size of the card, or it's just crap and needs replaced.

Noob Problem? "SD card blank or has unsupported filesystem"?

Hello,
Everything's been peachy on my G1 for quite some time. I'm rooted running Super D's latest normal ROM. My phone died the other night while I was out. Next morning I booted my phone up and everything was gone. I used app's to SD so there was nothing on my phone, and the error message "SD card blank or has unsupported filesystem". I've searched, yes searched here, google, and elsewhere. I've tried reformatting my SD cards in FAT32 again nothing worked. Every SD card I put in the phone it says the same thing. Factory Data Reset it and everything. My card reader reads every SD I put into my phone.
Is there a fix? What I've been trying to do is flash a different zip onto my phone directly though USB in recovery to see if that's the problem and no success even getting one flashed on.
Thanks for your help!

Edit:
Tested all of my SD cards that weren't working in my G1 on my brothers G1 and everything works perfectly fine? Could it be my ROM?
Anyone? I've tried about everything I could possibly think of. Does anyone know how to flash a zip without an sd card present?
I think your SD Card is corrupted, somehow.
What recovery do you have?
What OS do you have, (it would make things easier if you had linux, or could use a ubuntu live disk).
If you can use ubuntu, with a card reader see if you can recover any files at first.
Then use gparted to re-make the partitions on your sd card.
I've got W7U. In my recovery screen it says Build: RA-dream-v1.5.2. My SD Cards read perfectly fine with a card reader and in another G1. So its def. something with my phone or the ROM.

SD card Blank or has unsupported filesystem.

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.

USB Brick?

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,
Pablo Lujambio

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
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.
