[Solved] Can't flash ROM?

Hi, i try to flash Cyan's new rom v4.0.1, but i keep getting this error message in my recover console:
E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 (or /dev/block/mmcblk0)
(No such file or directory)
E:Can't mount SDCARD:update.zip
Installation aborted.
After trying unsuccesfully to flash the rom, my sdcard can no longer be seen in my phone and it became write-protected, unable to move files into the sdcard. Appreciate your help....
Edit: Yeah solved this menacing but simple problem which i found out is my sd card fault. Since i couldn't access sdparted in the recovery console, i had to use Ubuntu to partition my sd card again. Sighs... now i have to replace everything back into phone. Thanks anyways for those who gave advice.

is your sdcard formatted to fat32? because /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 or /dev/block/mmcblk0 is referencing your first partition or your sdcard respectively.

you dont flash a rom in consol
you flash it from the recovery screen. you probably CAN flash it from consol, but its much easier to flash from the recovery screen. what recovery image do you have?

yes my sdcard is fat32(1st partition) and my 2nd partition is ext3 whilst the last is a linux-swap partition...

Well I've Always had the best luck with my partitions in order as follows Fat32-Ext3-Linux-Swap(if you use it)
And if you still have problems this is what I do
Well I re-downloaded the update. and did this.
This is how I installed without any problems:
: rename to update.zip
: place in the root of sd card
: shut off device
: boot into recovery
: wipe (alt w)
: go to console (alt x) and hit enter
(enter)
# mount -o rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 /system/sd
# cd /system/sd
# rm -rf /system/sd/*
# reboot recovery
: now wipe again (alt w)
: run a filesystem check from the menu. If it tells you to run it manually,
drop to a console (alt+x) and run "e2fsck /dev/block/mmcblk0p2".
: flash
Enjoy!!
Hope this helps!!!

The problem is i can't even mount mount my 2nd partition, and everytime i write the command > # mount -o rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 /system/sd < , it justs says no such file or directory found.
I also can't go into parted in the recovery console so the now the problem is i can't even reformat my card. I'm going to try Ubuntu and reformat my card and partition it again. Sighs...

please, can you tell me how did you solved it, did you use ubuntu to reformat the sdcard? thanks in advance..

Yes, since i was not able to access parted in the recovery console, my only choice was to use Ubuntu: Partition Editor. When i diagnose my sdcard, i manage to format only my ext3 partition so my fat32 remain unchanged. You need to go download Ubuntu OS, then try to install or LiveCD the Ubuntu. There is a thread under android development which will guide you on how to do this...

[Q] SCH-i800 fail to mount error

Hi guys, received a VZW sch-i800 from a friend and trying to get it to work. Any relevant searches have led me here, but no suggestions I've seen have worked so far. Tab is stuck in boot loop. I've flashed it with odin and heimdall (versions 1.1 to 1.3.2) with various files suggested, but everytime I get back into recovery mode and attempt to do a factory restore I get the following:
--Wiping data...
Formatting /data
E:format_volume: rfs format failed on /dev/block/mmcblk0p2
Formatting /dbdata...
Formatting /cache...
E:format_volume: rfs format failed on /dev/block/mmcblk0p1
Data wipe complete.
E:failed to mount /preload (no such file or directory)
E:install_application_for_customer: Can't mount /preload
your storage not prepared yet, please use UI menu for format and reboot actions
and then a line of code telling me it can't mount cache.
I was able to get CWM recovery and the device would give me a different menu, but still the same issue with mounting cache. The instructions on CWM mentioned running a zip program from the sdcard, but no zip showed up in the directory when I looked on the device.
Any help greatly appreciated.

I have the same issue you reference. Did you ever figure out how to fix this? Thanks

I'm also having the same issue with my SCH-i800 after getting CM9.1 up and running. I'm thinking (hoping) it could have something to do with me updating CWM through Google Play (from v5.0.2.7 to v6.0.2).

got sch-i800 broke from someone we know

[Q] [HELP] Error mounting /system & /cache in stock recovery

Guys need your attention & a consoling solution for my bricked phone, that can go in recovery & download mode. But the stock recovery mode says
--Applying multi CSC--
E:failed to mount/system(Invalid arguement)
E:failed to mount/cache(Invalid arguement)
E:cant open /cache/recovery/log
The troubled began when i added internet tweaks to build.prop.
When i reboot, phone got stuck at samsung logo.
Then when i opened cwm their i found error mounting system, & was unable to restore backups but when i used Rafael's "FORMAT ALL EXT4.ZIP" i was able to mount /system in cmw but these errors got shifted to stock recovery
now i'm able to flash zips & restore backups but of no use. still phone stuck at logo

The reason you are getting those errors is that stock recovery cannot handle ext4, that's normal.
Probably the simplest thing to do would be to follow the unbrick tutorial:

thanks for specifying the Ext4 problem...
can i get back to Ext3 by flashing any zip through cmw recovery?

Well rfs is the default file system format, not ext3. If you use this version of CWM then you can go to mounts and storage > format /cache, /system and /data back to rfs. However you will obviously now have no ROM on your phone so will still need to either restore a backup or flash a zip of a ROM that includes the entire /system folder, which is most, if not all. I've never tried this technique by the way, so no guarantees here.
Also try to restore only Nandroid backups made with the same version of CWM that you are using to avoid problems.

[Q] Error mounting /system on CWM

i want to do nandroid backup, im using CWM 6.0.3.2 (for locked bootloader). my XSP is still using stock rom 12.1.A.1.205 and already rooted. then i boot into CWM, and select "backup". but there's error message "error mounting /system". i tried to manually mount it, but still cant mount /system. then, i went to "advanced", and "show log". it shows "failed to mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p13 (device or resource busy)"
why i cant mount the /system ? is there any problems ?
thanks :good:

incomplete su binaries perhaps? I suggest flashing a su.zip file, being it from Chainfire's, or Koush's, it doesn't matter.

Error flashing custom ROM

Hey friends.I have HTC One (m7) HBOOT(1.61.0000) (OS-7.19.401.30) with TWRP 2.6.3.3.
I did a backup and yesterday i tried to restore and my phone wont start.After that i wipe everything (no OS installed now) and try to flash a ROM(CarbonTEAM-LP5.1.1.C1-RELEASE-20150811-1840-m7.zip) and after unsuccesful flash i thy with (cm-Resurrection_Remix_LP_v5.3.4-20150216-m7.zip) and i get everytime this error
could not detect filesystem for /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/system,
assuming ext4 mount: failed to mount /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/system at /system:No such file or directory unmount of /system failed; no such volume could not detect filesystem for /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/system,assuming ext4 mount:failed /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/system at /system:no such file or directory unmount of /system failed; no such volume script succeded:result was[0.2000000].
I get this error either i sideload the ROM.zip file either i put it at sdcard and flash it from recovery.
So how i'm supposed to make it work??To flash a ROM??(tried the above with the CWM too)
THANKS in advance sorry for bad English!!

All roms based on CM must be flashed using TWRP 2.7.1.1 or newer. Update your recovery and flash again.
