Hello
I have a problem with my N1. It happened while flashing a custom rom - what caused it, I don't exactly know. The problem is, that now, my N1 wont boot. When i turn it on it is just stuck at the 4-colored X. I can boot into recovery and everything, but it can't mount my sd card from here, all i get when trying to do anything related to the card is this message:
E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 (or /dev/block/mmcblk0)
(No such file or directory)
E:Can't mount /sdcard
All my phone can do now is to get to the bootloader, recovery and fastboot. I'm unable to install a new rom or a new recovery. Actually i'm unable to use my phone for anything.
Hope you guys can help me out
Did you do the obvious and try another SD card?
Or try and fix sd card errors or just full wipe the card??
Yeah, i did try another card and got the same message. Both cards works fine when i tried them in another phone. And yes i did try and wipe the card as well.
You can go to Amon/Mounts and mount card or try a repair sdcard
If you have backup of card, I would reformat (sdformatter) and repartition
Do you use Temasek's System Only Wipe zip between new roms in addition to data/cache wipes?

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.
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.
Hey guys,
Ok so i was on CM10 old bootloader, decided to make the switch to
ICS CM10 ( Pengus77 )
Used AIO tool to install new layout then flashed a new recovery CWM
I put the new ROM on external sd card then boot into recovery
Heres the problem , when in recovery E: Cant mount /sdcard/ !
I go to advanced mount /sdcard error mounting /sd card !
How can i install new ROM if i cant see any of my cards?
or cant install any ZIP's through Recovery?
When i plug my phone in PC...i can see two removable disk labeled D: & E:
but i click them : Please insert a disk into the drive...(?)
I tried everything that i know about...wich is not a lot...kind of a noob with all of this.
Any help would be gladly appreciated...kind of lost here
Cheers,
VP
In some recoveries the internal sd is marked as external and vice versa! See as you have changed your bootloader version, internal sd has been completely wiped. But i think just mount the External sd from mounts from CWM..
If you come from gb BL,
1. Nvflash stefan ics v28 and wait to fully reboot your phone
2. Open aio tool
3. Press number 4, 1 for the new ics layout, press 3 for new cwm 6
4. Copy pengus rom on external card
5. Enter cwm first try to access internal and external if this cards can access it show a message "no files found"
6. If the e: can't mount copy the sd card fix and system format ext4 then flash it
7. If you can't access both card try to reformat your system, factory reset,cache and dalvik
8. Flash sd fix and format ext4 again
9. Try to access both cards again

I compiled ClockworkMod myself and flashed it to my P970 running CyanogenMod, but now I can't flash zips. When I try to mount the sdcard, I receive an error: "E: cannot mount /sdcard". This device's storage is of course located in /storage/sdcard0, so I suspect that might be the problem.
I don't think that this is the problem. Try to clean sdcard then reboot in recovery. If it doesn't mount, share your recovery with me, I will test if it works
I formatted the SD card from inside CyanogenMod, but now I can't mount it at all. If I choose "Mount SD card" in the settings, it briefly flashes the stuff on the card, and then says "Safe to remove SD card". I performed a factory reset, but it still doesn't work.
What version have you compiled?
//Edit
I remember that to get a fully working recovery for our device you need to edit some files in the device tree, maybe you need to edit some .fstab files or BoardConfig.mk, Evisceration has already compiled cwm for p970, you could ask him for help.
//Edit2
To edit .fstab files (maybe you should edit recovery.fstab) look at gingerbread's device tree.

6.0.3.6, but that doesn't solve the problem with the SD card, which I now can't mount at all. I tried plugging in the USB cable but my computer can't see the card. I may just have to buy an adapter from PC to SD. This thread: android.stackexchange.com/questions/55182/cannot-mount-sd-card-with-error-sd-card-safe-to-remove says to format it with a PC, but that's for a different device.

Do you mean that you can't mount it even when you're running Cyanogenmod?
Yes. After I formatted the SD card, I can't mount it even in CyanogenMod. In the settings, I select "mount SD card", but it doesn't mount, and I get a notification "Safe to remove SD card".
It could also be a hardware problem, just to be sure send me your recovery or post your sources.
//Edit
I have compiled cwm 6.0.4.6 using 4.3 device tree and everything works good.

EDIT:
So, the good news is I solved the main problem. I changed the file "recovery.fstab" to have the other possible partition for the SD card, recompiled, and flashed. Lo and behold, it worked! I can now flash zips from the SD card in ClockworkMod.
But I still can't mount the SD card within CyanogenMod. I know I can flash zips with
Code:
adb sideload
if need be, but I would still very much like to be able to store pictures, etcetera, in that 8 GB of space.
EDIT 2:
I went to the store and bought myself an SD card adapter. I used that to format the card, but now I can't even access it from ClockworkMod.
I flashed your recovery and SD card works.
Which file system is your SD card using now?
If you flash a stock based rom from sideload, can you format SD from settings?
I bought a new SD card for $28 and everything works now. Note to self: never format SD card again.
I think I made something very stupid. I wanted to flash a new rom and I entered to CWM recovery and I selected format /storage/sdcard1. After that I can't acces sdcard or external sd. (E:can't mount /storage/sdcard1; E:can't mount /external_sd). Please help me for a solution. Thank you.
Update: I have found a solution by formatting the external card in my laptop. After that I could install zip from external card and flash a new rom. So problem solved.
