Cant get cmd to find the command path! am I entering the code correct?

[13]RECOVERY CAN'T MOUNT SD-CARD

I flashed a new recovery, and now my phone doesn't recognise my sd-card. I get the following error:

Code:

E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 (or /dev/block/mmcblk0)

(No such file or directory)

E:Can't mount /sdcard

HOW TO MOUNT SD-CARD

[STEP1]- Firstly, you will need Android-SDK (If you don't already have it)

[STEP2]- Boot into fastboot mode (Poweroff, hold BACK & POWER)

[STEP3]- Open command prompt (cmd) and type the following command

Code:

cd\ C:\android-sdk-windows\tools

fastboot oem enableqxdm 0

fastboot oem eraseconfig

I cant get cmd to recognise the path! do I need to type anything before typing the code in?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MatDrOiD:
Try the command without the backslash after "cd". So commands are now:

Also doublecheck the path where your android-sdk is installed.

Can somebody help me out. I've confirmed two more things. My phone doesn't stay long in recovery mode. After a minute or two the phone will just restart without warning into android. And when Android is booted my pc doesn't recognize the phone :(

---------- Post added at 06:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:46 PM ----------

w00T fixed the problem!!!

After installing the Android SDK and installing the usb packages prior to the fastboot command the command "adb devices" must be executed. Then your pc will prompt you for a new device if it's in fastboot mode. Then manually choose a location for the driver which is the Android SDK map. Your computer will searched and install the driver succesfuly.

Now you can execute the fastboot commands. This part is missing in the guide. I think it's usefull to insert my findings.

Cheers.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] falconyx:
Allright, I have read through pretty much the whole the thread and couldn't quite identify my problem. Which is: I suddenly lost USB mass storage on a rooted HTC Desire Amoled device:

S-ON, using runnydroid rom currently, Clockworkmod 2.5.0.7.

Thing is, my phone recognizes SD card, I get into recovery and card is recognized there too, no problem. I tried clearing storage from bootloader which helped me a while ago after I got the devblock: can't mount sd card error...This time around though its different. Card seems fine, just phone cannot be recognized by PC. Some things I noticed:

- PC cannot install drivers error message

- phone is charging and at a normal rate, so its not that thing with the slow charging problem

Is this some USB brick? Since I'm not S-OFF and cannot use fastboot, what can I do? I'm guessing I cannot S-OFF at this point either so I can then flash some recovery with USB unbrick function?

P.S. Might flashing another ROM/Different Kernel help restore the function?.. I'm not the expert, pls. bare with my questions in case they are stupid :rolleyes:
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TyKH:
Well S-OFF would be a good start. But the problem is that your pc is not recognizing the device if you put it in USB storage mode?

Can your pc read the sd-card when you directly connect it into a card reader?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] falconyx:
Well I will be able to try out tomorrow, no card reader available right now... :)

Edit: I'm actually not able to select USB mass storage at all, I mean, when I connect my phone to the PC the only thing that happens is the led light activating and phone just keeps charging. I don't get any prompt on device to chose connection type and I've checked all possible USB settings from ROM itself.

A Maze of Problems

ok guys i got a tricky one for yas...

i have a htc Desire, s-off, stock Android System Recovery...

boots stock Telstra Froyo ROM but then get low storage notification warnings in the notification bar and a heap of force close errors that loop so i cannot access the phone...

i have no idea how to fix this as i cannot get into the phone to turn usb debugging on and the Android System Recovery is quite limited to what i can do....

any help would great.

the main problem is that i cannot turn usb debugging on....
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] touch of jobo:
@dwindley:

As you are s-off, you can flash a nice recovery through fastboot, and then flash a nice ROM from your new recovery. This is, of course, quite destructive to your data and settings.

Did you get the device in this state, or did it all work fine for you before? If it worked before, what did you do or what happened that got your device in this state?

Had the same problem when I tried to install alex-v gingerbread rom.

In fact I did go through 3-4 complete re-installs before not it runs stable.

Reboot to fastboot (power and volume-down button pressed the same time)

then scroll down to recovery

then install your latest nandroid and get back your nicely working phone

then:

- check your sdcard partitions, your install procedure

- and start again
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TyKH:
From what I know you to be S-OFF but you always try it.

In the command promt do adb devices, this will make your pc recognize the phone in fastboot mode. You probably get promped to install a driver -> choose install manually and choose the location of the SDK manager. If succeeded then do the two fastboot commands.

Bootloop after Root attempt

Hi guys,

I tried to root my HTC Desire HD with a Advanced Hack Kit which unfortunately ended with an error " I-Normal Error Here-I or something like that. I've looked on the forums to see whether I can find more info in regards to this error but I could not find anything. I had to unplug the phone. I can log in to the bootloader by pressing vol - and the power button and that's about it as when I try to switch it on manually, it can't go pass the boot screen (white screen with green HTC logo on it). I spent whole day looking for the solution, I tried to flash a new rom but it didn't solved the issue. Then I found this tutorial, I'm S-ON so I tried to create a gold card to get pass the step 1.

That's as far as I got, I understand that I have to access my phone to obtain the CID enter the reversed CID codes but I am unable to do so due to the fact that I can't go pass the boot screen...

Like I said, I did quite a bit of research on this situation and this tutorial is the closest think I could find.

Could you kindly suggest what should I do please ?

Many thanks,

Luke

Right, I've tried that and it resulted in the following message:

Please get the correct ROM update Utility and try again.

Does that mean that I have a incorrect stock rom ?

I haven't used MIUI in a while, but I'm not sure if it offers that capability, I think it may only enable you to let the computer use the phones network, however you may be able to find something in settings. Look for netowkr settings, wifi settings.. basically anything to do with wifi/networks.

When I tried to restore, it said that: data.img not found, system.img not found, cache.img not found, sd-ext not found. The CM7 backup was not even restored. What can I do now?

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bortak:
a) are you using the same recovery as you did when you backed up?

b) have you got the same Hboot (i.e. cm7r2 etc.)

Also, if you want to add a signature to your posts, go to the User control panel and edit it from there so it doesn't show up when we try to quote you :)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iamsuperhero:
The information here is very useful, especially when something wrong happens. Thanks a lot.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Droidzone:
Bortak, nice guide :)

To clarify something over here..

If you flash an incompatible RUU, say a RUU meant for an AMOLED device over an SLCD (Not applicable to RUUs > v2.x), you will get RUU menu.. At that point, you cant actually flash a alpharev hboot (unless the user is S-off) because the signature check is there...So you may want to add a phrase saying "if you're s-off). Maybe also add a phrase saying that "If you pull the cable at the point, and you have an incompatible RUU), you will in many cases be softbricked (cant recover unless you have a correct RUU/goldcard)"

True, I wouldnt recommend it either, since that version does not work with rageagainstthecage exploit, which means, if you want to restore the device to factory conditions on Cupcake/Froyo, you cant. You can use it rooted, but not as an unrooted phone on Cupcake..

So, best thing to say would be:

[OPTION1]- Use Alpharev instead

[OPTION2]- Use a RUU to upgrade to the 2.29.405.5 Froyo RUU which gets you to 0.93.001 bootloader version - Follow from S-ON [STEP1]

This is a really useful thread. Thank you.

Could someone please lend me a hand sorting out my phone, because I'm not sure where I'm starting from.

I've got an HTC Desire with the stock UK vodafone ROM which was rooted originally with unrevoked and then to S-OFF with revolutionary. I was trying to install the ICS fonts, so used Root Explorer to change the names of 2 existing fonts and then added in the new ones using the old font names. That led to a boot loop on the quietly brilliant screen. So I went to the bootloader to install one of my clockwork recovery files from a month or so ago - but I couldn't get into Recovery. I select Recovery, but it only takes me to Fastboot. On entering the bootloader, I see a quick scroll of messages referring to missing images. So I presume that my Recovery has gotten confused and gone awol.

So what should I do? I was going to try and rerun revolutionary, but I can't find my original code and can't check the phone to get enough for a new one.

I would try to run unrevoked, but if that doesn't restore recovery and leaves me S-On, I presume that I can't then flash with fastboot?

So I presume that I should try to work out fastboot. Can I just pick the stock voda uk ROM listed elsewhere and run that, or will the upgrades to HBOOT with revolutionary cause problems?

And I'm not sure I can even see my phone with fastboot. It say fastboot USB, so I probably don't have it set up correctly.

Any thoughts or directions on which threads to follow would be gratefully received.

Thanks.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bortak:
it strange that you can't get into recovery, you needn't do no such thing as re-running revolutionary or unrevoked. All that does is make your phone S-OFF. Unrevoked only gives you root access on the stock ROM so again that won't do you any good. And thirdly you need to be booted into a rom for those to work.

Go to the advanced boot problems section and flash recovery, then wipe the phone and re-flash your ROM.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ben_Sisko:
Hi guys,

currently i have a problem with restoring a backup from nandroid (clockworkmod recovery). I use Sandvolds ICS for Desire Beta 0.39 with Stock boot and wanted to test the newest release. So i booted to recovery and started the backup process which finished without an error.

After i tried the new version and decided to switch back to the last backup my user data are gone. It seems like my android isn't fully configured anymore.

So i wiped again before i tried another restore with the same result.

Then i installed a clean version of Beta 0.39 and after that made a restore -> still not what it has to be.

Normally the whole system should have the exact same state as it were before the backup or am i wrong?

Maybe someone has a helpful hint?

Hi guys, my problem falls within number 10 in the first page.

When I run Android Flasher, nothing happens, it just waits there forever without flashing the recovery. Is there something similar for linux?

What initially happened was that I s-off my Desire S, and then used the clockwork rom. Later I had the brilliant idea to put another official rom on it through htc sync, and upon reboot it stucked on htc logo. When I entered bootloader and hit recovery, I end up in a black screen with a red (!). Volume up + power , I can see "e:can;t open /cache/recovery/command". If I select "apply update from sdcard" it says "invalid operation, success rebooting oem-00" , it reboots and hangs to htc logo again.

I 'm a bit confused and desperate on how to proceed....any help?

Hi,

I ran into problems with my Desire again - I wanted to make a phone backup from recovery, booted the phone but it was stuck in HTC splash screen ... after waiting 20 mins I pulled out the battery but it does not want to boot into the system.

I'm able to use Fastboot Commander to erase boot/recovery/system etc. and I can flash stock HTC RUU rom. Phone seems to work ok with HTC rom - when I try to use revoked or revolutionary the phone is either stuck in HTC splash screen during one of the reboots or revoked displays the message about "connection with the phone was unexpectedly interrupted. try again".

Flashing recovery image using fastboot commander or android flasher doesn't help at all, phone is stuck in HTC screen during reboot.

Phone information is not changed since last problems I had in Dec 2011:

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bortak:
If phone information hasn't changed then you don't need to use revolutionary to S-OFF (since you already are from what you are telling me).

I suppose you could try doing the following:

- Go to your clockworkmod folder and find the backup of cm7

- Grab the .img's from the backup

- use fastboot commander to do a full wipe of the phone

- flash the .img's using fastboot commander

- reboot

If that gets you cm7, install the 4EXT recovery updater and try flashing recovery using that.
