[Q] CWM - Failed to mount /recovery - Nook Color General

I just rooted and got everything up and running again. I have ClockworkMod installed and I am trying to do a backup now, but I get an error. Here is what it says during/after the backup:
SD Card Space free: 7568MB
.
Backing up Boot.....
.
Backing up Recovery.....
.
E:FAILED to mount /recovery ( Block device required )
.
Can't mount /recovery!
.
END
What could this mean and what can I do to fix it ? I dont even see a /recovery mount point.
Please advise !

Did you do it using IOMonster's root pack and install CWM using his zip? If so, you can try flashing CWM through ROM Manager. I'm having the exact same issue and nothing is working for me, but most seem to be able to flash CWM through RM and it's fixed.

Yes I used his CWM zip. I have tried via Rom Manager and get the same result's. The only thing that is different is that IOMonster's recovery is using 3.0.0.5 and When I installed Rom Manager it downloaded 3.0.0.7 but then when I tried a backup via CWM the recovery changed back from 3.0.0.7 to 3.0.0.5 Not sure what thats about, but I dont see any reason why it cant find or mount the restore dir.
Im lost :O( I need to make a ROM backup !

I am in the exact same place you are. IOMonster says he's uploading a new version of his root pack tonight that will include a new flashable CWM. I'm hoping it'll work for me. If not, i'm going back to stock and rooting with autonooter to see if that fixes it. Did you root with IOMonster's root.zip? Or just his CWM?

I rooted with IOMonster's root.zip I also used his gapps and block1.1 script's ... then I installed his CWM.
I wish someone can help us ! please let me know if you find a solution.

recovery 3e modified to work like recovery 2e - Updated 01/23/2011

there are a number of problems with the recovery in the just leaked
Froyo ROM.
1. signature checking
2. passing API version 3 to the updater binary
3. forced wipe after installing an update.zip
the attached zip has a 3e recovery modified to disable signature checking
report API version 2 for backwards compatibility with clockwork mod recovery
and disable the forced wipe after installing any update.
I don't know of any reason to run this version over 2e but it
might be useful to someone.
Installing:
1. turn on USB debugging
2. plug into computer
3. run script and follow on screen prompts.

yeah, he attached it after that post lol
how do you use this?
ok i wil bite. how do you use/flash this it cw is not accesible?
rename to update.zip i assume...... i mean thats how u flash everythign thats zip file if u cant get into clockwork.....
you cant flash this you will have to put the files on the internal sdcard
then use root explorer or adb to move the files into place, recovery goes to
/system/bin and the keys to /efs, update.zip is the clockwork recovery and
stays on the sdcard.
when you boot into recovery and choose re-install packages clockwork will
be able to do its thing.
I do like the sig verification but it's a PITA and may disable it, this is a temp
fix until I can finish hacking on recovery there is very little clues as to where
the functions are so it may be a few days.
forgot to mention to you also have to remount /system rw
mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/stl9 /system
Be-ware. Doing so on the ODIN 2E version will break Recovery all together.
Fine to replace on the Stock 2.2 ..

I haven't tried just replacing 3e with 2e, I doubt there is any advantage to
3e, to us anyway. but it is always worth while to find ways around these
things.
EDIT:
just replacing 3e with 2e did not work cant find the update.zip
Im suprised more people havent commented. I downloaded the first Stock version of JK2 and i tether so redownloading is not really what i wanted to do...plus i have a Mac so Id have to borrow my buddys pc again...anyway
This workedvgreat! For thise who might need it:
Place all files on the root of SD internal memory card
Copy keys file to /efs
Copy recovery file to /system/bin/ (backup old on first)
Leave all other files on SD internal
Reboot into stock recovery and select Reinstall Packages
itll do its thing and reboot into stock recovery again. From there youre set...just select reinstall packages each time.
Youre a life saver...thank you sir!

Thanks untermensch for your work and thanks to the TJD319 for the clear step by step instructions.
Getting can't mount partition after I select a zip file to flash. I can get to cwr fine and it sees the sdcard (internal) fine since I can navigate and select the file I want. The error comes when I try flash. All the files in the zip are in the root of the sd internal, except for recovery and keys that are in the directory /system/bin and /efs respectively. Any advice?

updated the no sig check version again, too fix the issue that even though the key

Ext2 Z4mod on Obsidian V2 Tested and working.

Here are the Steps I took to convert the data folder to ext 2. I'm sure we can do more folders but I'm unable to write (anyone?) the update scripts.
Start with a fresh install of Team Whiskey's Rom
Goto to the I9000 thread and follow the instruction on uploading a kernel to be repacked.
I selected all the check marks before re packing and downloaded the new kernel.
Download the ext2 update zip from the thread. Rename the zip file to update.zip.
Grab the kernel(tar file) you downloaded from the site and use odin to install.
After booting back up rename the z4mod.ext2.update zip file to update.zip.
Reboot into clockwork and apply update.zip
After booting back up your data file should now be ext2.
To check use terminal emulator our adb and type mount. The data line should now say ext2 instead of rfs.
Note: When I tryed to use the ext2 update zip file without renaming to update.zip it did not work. I continuously recieved SD mount errors.
I can't stress enough to read the topic in the I9000 development thread titled z4mod breaking free from rfs(link below) so you understand what you are doing and the process that is required.
My instruction does not detail that whole process. I'm not responsible for you or what you do by following this brief instruction.
Very Snappy after this mod. Absolutely no issues for me.
Quadrant = 1700
Enjoy!!!
Credit goes to RyanZA and the z4ziggy ; not me.
Source: [z4mod] Breaking free from RFS [Stage II - version 0.3 Alpha - With online patcher!]
Files I used to get this to work.
zImage.tar (The Zimage I used to repack was taken out of Obsidian V2. (DO NOT USE THIS FOR IMAGE FOR ANY OTHER ROM THAN OBSIDIAN V2)
Also, XDA does not allow uploads of tar files so I compressed the tar into a zip format. Make sure you extract this file and use the .tar file within Odin.
Update.zip - This file was downloaded from the I9000 Z4Mod Thread entitled z4mod.ext2.update.zip. All I did was renamed to update.zip which for some reason allows this conversion process to take place.

Does your kernel have the stock or clockwork recovery? Easy way to check is do adb reboot recovery. If it goes into clockwork then the stock recovery was replaced.
The file you attached is ready to use or do we need to repack?

Bugger, from what I know ClockworkMod has some compatibility issues with JK2 unless the version that z4build uses is compatible.

Seconded. It'd be great to get /dbdata, /cache, /system onto ext4 too (I thought that was the main benefit of z4mod?)

Unlikely as the kernel does not support Ext4.
Also, to anyone who has tried this: Is the kernel from the op already patched? I tried throwing it into the the online patcher and the patcher just spit out a message informing me that what I uploaded was already patch. However, when I jump into recovery, I get recovery 2e and not clockwork, which leads me to believe otherwise.
Perhaps odin did not actually install it?
how did u boot into clockwork? 3 button or through rom manger? it doesnt work for me with three button still says can not mount
hoipefully someone adds to the script so it can convert more partitions.
How did you get into Clockwork recovery if you replaced the update.zip file the stock recovery uses to get into it?
I booted through RomManager. It gave the little green Android dude with the download box and got right into recovery. Working great so far.

Yes, I figured out that the Z4 patch kernel replaces the stock recovery with clockwork.

the way this phone is set up has the recovery image packaged with the kernel in the file called zImage. when u use the z4mod to modify that zImage file, the website unpacks the whole zImage file, does its thing with the kernel modding, and now (i say now because this is a newer feature) replaces the standard 2e recovery with clockwork recovery. when you flash the zImage, whether repackaged in a rom or as a tar in odin, the new clockwork recovery is flashed to '/system/bin/recovery' replacing the 2e recovery. i have confirmed this by running the command 'recovery' from terminal while booted after flashing a z4modded kernel. i do not recommend trying to run recovery while booted as the phones display started going crazy.
the problem with having clockwork mod as the primary recovery is the fact that there is a major issue with mounting both the internal sd and external sd (even one at a time as well as both together) as clcokwork mod reports it doesnt recognize device at 'mmcblk0' or 1 when clockworkmod recovery is the primary recovery.

That's why I backed out of it and went back to the stock kernel - that and the fact there was a weird flicker at the top of the screen when booting.

go to this link download file ( i consider u have cwm already installed on your phone) if u dont have cwm dont worry give it a try in this link u will find a .zip file named as recovery,..zip jst rename it to update.zip and install it from recovery menu// u can also give this update thing a try with the su.zip files file are main for rooting
Thanks for reponse. But I mention that my phone cant connect to pc, I've tried it alot, I cant connect my phone to pc in download mode so I cant instant cwm. everything I can try is self root apk or flash a rooted rom with base stock recovery.
okk if u cant flash cwm then its quite troubling
if ur usb dosn't work why don't u rush to the service center they will solve this problem in say 15 to 20 mins... better go there and get it serviced ...

Well you can do that. I mean you can install CWM recovery without connecting your device via USB.
If you can download CWM recovery or Recovery menu directly on your device, follow these instructions.
Extract recovery.img file from downloaded zip file.
Keep it in sdcard's root directory. (/sdcard/recovery.img)
Now copy following commands and save it as Install_recovery.sh in your sdcard's root directory
Code:
#!/system/bin/sh
mkdir /sdcard/fih
mount -t vfat /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 /sdcard/fih/
cd /sdcard/fih/image/
mv /sdcard/fih/image/recovery.img ./recovery.img
cd /
umount /sdcard/fih
rm -r /sdcard/fih/
And use any script manager or Terminal emulator to run this file.
Using terminal emulator:
Code:
cd /sdcard/
sh Install_recovery.sh
Now boot into recovery. You should boot into new recovery.
P.S. Similar How-To is also posted in a thread: Restoring stock recovery: (without Download mode). I have just modified it a bit.
Thanks! I'll give it a try. But does Script manager and terminal emulator is a apk that i can install and use to run the command saved in Install_recovery.sh?
So that I run terminal emulator apk and type
"cd /sdcard/
sh Install_recovery.sh" ?
ok. I've tried but the emulator report errors. I think I must have rooted phone to install cwr with your solution. The error is
$ export PATH=/data/local/bin:$PATH
$ cd /sdcard/sh install_recovery.sh
cd: bad substitution
$ cd /sdcard/
$ sh install_recovery.sh

failed on '/sdcard/fih/image/recovery.img' - No such file or directory
cd: can't cd to /
failed.
rm failed for /sdcard/fih/, No such file or directory
$
So how do I get cwr on my phone to root it via cwr method?

dude ... do you have a memory card reader ...???
if u have a card reader then jst remove ur card from phone plug into pc copy all the files i.e cwm recovery update.zip and su.zip
[Installation Instructions]
[Using CWM recovery]​
Copy CWM recovery-fb0-v5_signed.zipin sdcard
Boot into recovery (Steps are given below for how-to-boot-into-recovery)
Use "install zip from sdcard" option
Locate and choose CWM recovery-fb0-v5_signed.zip from sdcard for instllation
After installation reboot into recovery (advanced > Reboot recovery)
i suggest rename the .zip file to update.zip
and then follow rooting instruction
I mean that I've got a stock rom without root. So I havent CWM recovery installed on my phone.
My usb hub on my phone has broken and the phone waranty service not avainable in my country so I need a root solution without usb connecting.
As I know I need rooted phone first to install CWM recovery. Or I need a method to install CWM recovery by stock recovery.
I also try to flash back to 2.2 froyo version to root my phone by gingerbreak apk but not successed. When I try to flash any stock rom 2.2 or 2.3.4 the stock recovery allways report error and didnt worked. The error that stock recovery say is:
Enter lauch_image_update
Prepare failed rc= -209
PID doesnt match!
You cant download this nb0
Some error during preparing
So now I cant do anything with stock recovery only hardreset can done. No flash firmware.nb0 rom no update the update.zip
And when I try to flashing update.zip (CWM recovery-fb0-v5_signed_2.zip I renamed it to update.zip) stock recovery say error that:

There is still one option left.
You can create your own nb0 file (since thats the only option working), which has cwm recovery and rooted ROM.

I have another android ( x10 mini pro) and I know that we can make a backup by stock recovery or cook a rom for flashing by stock recovery. But before public the rom the deverloper have to tested it because bootloop is the problem of flashing rom. So before flashing new rom we need do a hardreset and after flashing rom we also need a hard reset to solve boot looping problem.
because of brocken usb hub on my phone. I need tested before flashing. :'(
the test is:
1 make a nb0 file from a phone that working good.
2 try to flash nb0 by stock recovery to another phone to confirm that nb0 work good for all phone.
3 Note that some rom is working realy good for some phone but can make bootloop for another phone because of different keynell they are ussing or we dont make factory reset and do a wipe data and cache also get bootloop problem

Hi...
Are you sure that your phone has this usb problem? Not the usb cable?
I've an experienced with usb cable which has problem to connect, then I use blackberry usb data cable, then it works. My problem is the cable can't powered enough the phone to make data connection.
OR... you can flash Andro-ID RC1 first before other ROMs, which Andro-ID RC1 is the nb0 file (may be you can flashed it using stock recovery) and this RC1 is pre rooted and it has CWM recovery in it. Then you can use CWM to flash other zip based ROMs, including to update CWM it self to a newer version.
Hope it help....
Sorry if I missed understood of your problem! If you want to stay on WellCom 2.3.4 and rooted unwired, someone has to make update.zip with the su+superuser.apk and signed with appropriate key (FIH)

Anyway if you have not downloaded it yet, then I have one other option for you. I have created an nb0 file which contains only CWM recovery and nothing else.
This file will install Recovery menu v2 which includes both CWM and stock recovery and no system files/data files.
To install, download attached file to your device and extract firmware.nb0 file from it. (For zip file extraction, you can use ES_explorer).
And then install it using your stock recovery.
After installation system will boot in your current ROM. Reboot into recovery and you will find recovery menu instead of stock.
Disclaimer: I am not an expert in creating nb0 file. Here I have just deleted all unnecessary files from stock nb0 file and replaced recovery image with recovery menu's image. So far this works on my device. I have tried it installing when I am on stock ROM. (Though it was not necessary)
I am not to be held liable/responsible if you damage your phone by following / not following this post.

You do not need to remove any partitions... Just flash stock rom, and try again... Same happened to me, i couldnt mount any partition in recovery, now it fine

Well you cant flash roms onto sdcard... But if your partition is broken, then sorry but im a noob
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda app-developers app
Have you tired using a pit file?
flash a stock rom from samfirmware.com with ODIN.(eg. jw5)
to extract the password is "samfirmware.com"
tick repartition and use 512 pit file(included in rom from samfirmware).
check youtube for "flash with odin" if u dont know how.
edit:u are trying to flash from from samsungs 3 recovery.u need cwm(clockworkmod) to flash.
go to CF-ROOT(for i-9000) thread and follow instructions and read all in the OP(1-2-3 posts)
again u need ODIN to flash it.
hey
there is the best wasy to do that...just go to sammobile.com
there sign up first and then download the firmware (in firmware tab) and flash-programs...
the make sure to use oidn3_v1.0 only...
you can also download the flash-guide if you need it...
its simple..:laugh:
Thanks to everyone for replays, but nothing helped me x_x

Yep, keep shows only gt-9000 logo..
I had a very similar problem earlier this year.
From what I could see the partitions on the phone's internal storage weren't able to be accessed. In adb I tried using parted and rm but the partitions there (/dev/block/mmc/blk0) didn't ever change. I also tried various .pit files and Android versions through Odin but nothing worked.
I took my phone in for repairs after flashing a really old version; as close as possible to what it came with, and they fixed it. The repair was due to 'mechanical fatigue' according to them. I assumed the internal storage was some how broken or corrupted and couldn't be written to.
Not sure, if you manage to solve this.
From you screenshots I can see you are using 3e recovery. I would suggest you to flash a kernel which support cwm recovery mode.
I have heard peoples getting this error while using it on 3e.
Captain_17
Yes Captain_17, i have exactly same problem, cant give it to repair since purchased it from abroad.

3e recovery because i`ve flashed 2.2 and 2.2.1 or any other official roms, i can flash CWM easy but as Captain_17 said i can see but cant touch
files or partitions.
If flash CWM then phone will boot to CWM only, and i cant flash any rom from CWM because i cant copy files to internal storage and external (sdcard) cwm doesn't see it.
Sorry man, wish I could be of more help. I tried every available option I could find online but nothing worked.
Seems to be a hardware problem and replacing the damaged part is the only solution.
Silly question, but you ticked re-partition? try flash 2.2.1 or 2.3.3 with 512 pit and repartition
Also, you could try to flash Darky ressurection via odin, not completely stock rom. I know that this is just tweaked stock, but you could try do that.
And, you could try to use Heimdall instead of odin - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1196179
I have read somewhere that heimdall is more preferable than odin in some cases.

After installing aroma guestekrnL phone only boots to CWM

Hello
I've tried installing guestekrnL on WIUI. When installing guestekrnL, the only thing I've ticked extra that was other than defaults was:
"Activate init.d functionality and convert file system to EXT4?
- yes
select if init.d is not working yet or if you don't know"
Well, after reboot WIUI was screaming that my sd card is broken and format may help. It formatted it, but it still didn't work. So I've rebooted to recovery via option in power dialog in order to restore old firmware. However there's a problem now: CWM Touch says that it can't write logs to /cache. Mounting /cache, /data or /emmc from recovery doesn't work, only /system and /sdcard are mounting correctly. I've tried BackToExt3 with no luck. I've tried wiping it many times, with no luck. My phone only boots now to CWM. I can't flash stock via APX mode, because I have broken USB port in my phone. What can I do?
Does restoring a backup, flashing a zip file or wiping work?
Ok, I was searching for almost whole hour now and it seems it's a problem with partition table. Fixing can be done via zip, but I need some dumps. First one from "cat /proc/mounts" and second from "parted".
Here's the zip for nook color if someone wants to do that for me: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1759558

the Touch CWM might be the issue......most of the times it is found as the source of some unknown issues for some or intermittent issues.
I use the non-touch one always
Hope it helps
Well, how do I flash new recovery from CWM using zip then?

check for the CWM thread by Rusty....you have the instructions and process in it.
THERE YOU GO>>>SEE HERE
Hope it helps
Unfortunately, it needs USB. I need to flash it via existing recovery.
Mounting problems occur on some zips using touch recovery . Change cwm to non touch 5.0.2.8. But hey, did you flash a stock kernel on wiui ? you need another kernel, like etana, symbiosis.....or just use the one shipped with rom
