[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...

Problem with Mounting Sd card

I don't know what going on .I can't mount the sd card.When I try to go Into the recovery mode (green menu) PC can't install drivers the drivers was install before that. I make new installation of Windows 7 but the problem is the same the problem is not in the PC. It's show me Unknown device.When I try to access to adb console i don't have connection to PC.It is work on fastboot.
in menu " Android system recovery <2e> " when i put the update.zip file in sd card and the options "apply sdcard:update.zip" it's display error : "(no such file or directory )" E:Reading package ... retry 8
E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 (or /dev/block/mmcblk0)
the phone is rooted.
ROM is " MoDacoMod " it is loading to the end but can't mount SD card and boot screen is disappeared.
may the problem is in the bootloader or Recovery console (menu) i don't know
I read all forum but I can't fix the problem
CAN YOU HEELP ME PLEASE !!!
I try to find post like this but i can't.
Sorry for my English !!!

Maybe your USB driver.... I ever read it bit I forget the link, maybe at modaco or xda
Edited: http://developer.android.com/sdk/win-usb.html

I have the same problem too

Ar you guys having the SD Card Removed notification when in Android. If so you can do this in a command prompt:
boot your phone into fastboot (hold back and power button)
open Cmd : fastboot qxdmenable 0
This will allow phone to mount the sd card, as for the USB search for USB BRICK as I believe I have this issue as well.

come on Nobody knows !!!!!!!!!

hi
you can flash new ROM via Odin

I think this can solve your problem

[Q] I need help with using Galaxy Tab p1000 with external sd only

Hello,
I have got a samsung p1000 tablet from my friend, that it does not boot, there is no warranty for it, and he doesn't need this anymore. I googled what is its problem, and the internal sd was corrupt. I followed tutorials to open the tablet, got off the internal memory which stored the data and the cache partition, then put everything back. After many tries,reflashes, bricks, etc, I got to this solution: I flashed the stock t-mobile firmware with odin 3.07 (this version ignored fail of movinand.rfs and hidden.rfs, not like earlier versions, like 1.85), installed overcome kernel, went to recovery, edited the /system/etc/vold.fstab file and partitioned the sd card as it needed. I booted and it worked, the android system ran from the sd, and the sd's 4gb fat32 partition was used as "internal" sd. I did it by this tutorial: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1463756& My partitions are:
1. Primary, fat32, ~5400mb (sdcard)
2. Primary, ext4, 2000mb (data, so applications' place)
3. Primary, fat32, 100mb (preload, or cache?)
OK. It's 2014, I cannot stick with gingerbread. I installed the official cm11 kitkat (http://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=p1), but it had a problem, after searching i found it:
I can't use camera, cannot download anything and cannot open sdcard0 because: sdcard's fat32 partition is mounted as sdcard1. In KitKat, fstab file (fstab.p1) is in the root. I have to do one of these, but I cannot:
- unpack boot.img then edit fstab.p1 file, repack and reflash it, to use as sdcard0. simply modifying it does nothing, it changes itself back, and sometimes causes a bootloop.
- this solution, that I don't understand: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=52931787&postcount=118
I'm pretty much confused, because it worked in gingerbread, but it had fstab in other folder, had an other structure of it, it was touchwiz, not cyanogenmod, etc.
Adb logcat and file manager both say: permission denied to sdcard0, ok, because it has been got out by me, but I don't need sdcard1, only sdcard0.
I would appreciate any help from you guys, telling me how to do one of these solutions, which would work and be the better for this case.
(i know this tab is old and obsolete, but it would be good for me for youtube, movies, xda, some games, just for home )

Same problem
I am having the same damn problem. I'm not a developer, and I'm using cygwin, but I do want to poke around in boot.img. How did you unpack it? I was getting an error involving magic android header or something. Also is there an fstab in the recovery? Should I flash that with heimdall, and push edited rom? Thanks for any help, and if you figure it out please post.

I wasn't able to unpack it in cm11 rom. It says the same, there is no magic android header.
I am able to do the following:
DOWNLOAD MODE (turn off, volume down + turn on)
RECOVERY MODE (turn off, volume up + turn on)
- Format 16g memory card like this (e.g. with miniTool Partition): | sdcard,primary,fat32,~5000mb | data,primary,ext4,~1800mb | preload,primary,fat32,~200mb |
(with bigger cards, obviously bigger sdcard and data partition)
- DO NOT format sd with inserted in tab, and mounted in recovery; it will make partitions INSIDE of mmcblk0p1 block, not 3 blocks, mmcblk0p1, 0p2 and 0p3. So, DO format like in laptop, with microSD>SD transformer
- Insert SD card to TAB
- Flash gt-p1000_mr.pit and GB_Stock_Safe.tar with odin 3.07 (the only one which can push hidden.rfs, or skipping it automatically, like ignoring it in heimdall)
- Reboot in recovery mode, see that it can't see int. memory
- Reboot to download mode, flash overcome kernel
- Reboot to recovery, connect to adb, and now you can "adb pull /system/etc/vold.fstab"
- The file pulled to the adb folder should be edited to this (got this from a tutorial):
Code:
# internal sdcard
{
ums_path = /sys/devices/platform/usb_mass_storage/lun0/file
asec = disable
discard = disable
format_option = -r 1558
}
dev_mount sdcard /mnt/sdcard 1 /devices/platform/s3c-sdhci.2/mmc_host/mmc1
# externel sdcard
{
ums_path = /sys/devices/platform/usb_mass_storage/lun0/file
asec = enable
}
dev_mount sdcard /mnt/sdcard/external_sd auto /devices/platform/s3c-sdhci.2/mmc_host/mmc2 /devices/platform/s3c-sdhci.2/mmc_host/mmc1
#end line ## keep this line
- Now type in adb: "adb push vold.fstab /system/etc/"
- To check out booting, type in adb: "adb logcat".
- Reboot your device.
- A female robot voice tells you not enough space on system partition, converting it, estimated time 2 mins, etc etc.
- After a while you should see many-many lines written in adb window, and see your tab booting.
- When turned off charging for 1st time, don't worry, it will convert something again, female voice will appear again. Never so again.
- Now you have your tab working camera, sdcard, apps, etc.
STOP HERE? IF YOU WANT A WORKING 2.3, CONTINUE IF YOU WANT A HALF-WORKING CM11.
2.3 is outdated, I tried to update to cm11
- Go to overcome recovery
- Recovery detects sdcard0 and sdcard1 normally.
- (I didn't do any wipes )
- Flash cm11.
- It will reboot to clockworkmod recovery.
- NOW FCKN recovery detects external sd partition 1 (your savior) as sdcard 1, FUUUUU!
- You have to flash the zip file again.
- Flash gapps. Because of "missing" (it's just mounted in the wrong place) sdcard partiton, some of them can not install.
- Now system boots, you can install apk-s. But even if you umount and mount the sd in the good place, camera and market sd-required apps won't work. So like fb, messenger, circle don't need them, so they work. BADLAND, Real Racing, won't, they need the sdcard mounted in place by the fstab file. You cannot download files in stock browser, neither in Dolphin, only in CM Browser.
Choose, you want to use an older, working os, or a half-working, but newer os, with more (cm features)
Maybe I will include the programs I used, when XDA allows me to place links in this post.

still trying...
Thanks for the info. Maybe if I knew what to do with this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=52931787&postcount=118 I could get somewhere. I'm still determined to get this to work properly. It worked in that old terenceng rom so there has to be a way...

When you connect your phone to your PC, does the "internal memory" show up in your PC?
Also, stock 4.3 Roms don't use /mnt/media_rw to mount the sdcards, afaik.

Go to Settings => Apps => All, find "Media Storage" (com.android.providers.media) and press the "Clear Data" button, and then restart your phone. If that doesn't work, you could also copy all your media to your computer and then format the SDcard in Android.
