Can't mount sdcard frow cwm. Can I also flash new rck manually?

Tried reboot and mounting again manually, but cwm won't mount.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee one:
Maybe try "mount /dev/block/mmcblk1 /sdcard" ???
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tihimasmo:
I get invalid argument on that command.

What if we forget cwm and try format to default partinioning and push stock?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee one:
You could try pushing the stock rom to your tablet and then flashing it via the staging partition. The rom is about 522M, so you might need the sd card, but otherwise, you can push it anywhere it will fit. Staging partition is /dev/block/mmcblk0p4. Google around, the info is certainly in this forum. As long as you can get a root shell via adb, you can flash it. The stock rom is on the Asus sight. Just keep unzipping it until you see the blob file.

Of course, you can flash anything you want via the staging partition, if it's packed in a blob format. You might consider flashing a rooted rom instead of the stock.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tihimasmo:
I have stock on hd. Shall I mount staging via same commands as i mounted sdcard? Push there via adb. Then what command to flash the blob? The blob has no file extension. Shall i keep it that way?

Edit: ok i tried to unpack the recoveryblob from my desired version of cwm, but tool stopped working during process of writing recoveryblob.sos. I got the tool here http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=21620550&postcount=24

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee one:
Google around about how to flash the blob- I think I wrote every post.

You don't need any special tools- just unzip twice until you see the blob file.

You'll need adb to push it anywhere on your tablet that has enough space. I think this will be the sd card, which is back to the original problem.

Once it's located on your tablet, it's "dd if=/your/blob of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p4"

Reboot and you should see a blue progress bar to indicate that it's flashing.

No need to mount staging.

What did I miss?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee one:
You need to copy the blob to your phone and then use the dd command. You'll have to change the if=blah to where every you ended up pushing the blob. It's a two step process. Reread my previous post carefully. Google about the staging partition. There are other examples on this forum of how to use it.

I will say that randomly typing commands you find on the internet is fast way to brick your tablet. The staging partition only flashes one blob at a time, as far as I know, so adding multiple ones doesn't do anything useful.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tihimasmo:
I did copy it to the device. To the mmcblock you told me was staging. Then I read posts here to see what command to use. I tried with both /staging/, /mmcblk0p4/ and with /sdcard/. /sdcard/ was what other posts suggested. I thought issuing commands to flash nonexisting files wouldn't be harmful as bad commands go.

As for searching, the issue has been up before on xda in most forums. When the base knowledge of a user is as low as mine (close to zero when it comes to linux), how would the user even know how to phrase a search. The searches i undertake are very random and unrewarding.

Don't take me wrong. I appreciate your help very much, but I know not to take it for granted. Should you choose to ignore me, I wouldn't have lost anything I had before.

So if u choose to help me further. I would be grateful if you could explain the string "dd if=/your/blob of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p4". I need to know what it and many other commands mean to gain knowledge to pursue this on my own.

Thanks
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee one:
Anything in /dev isn't really there, which is why you have to mount the sdcard first. The dd command uses the In File and copies it to the Out File. This happens on a bit by bit basis, which adb push won't do.

The first and most important step is to mount the sdcard, otherwise you can't flash anything via cwm or the staging partition.

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tihimasmo:
I see. So since mounting sdcard is what I can't do, I'll not get anything flashed from staging.

The logs in previous posts show my attempts at mounting.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee one:
The sdcard did mount in one of the earlier logs, but I think it is unformatted because of superwipe.

Mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 /sdcard

mk2fs /sdcard

Then use adb to push the blob to sdcard from your pc

Then, back in the android terminal/adb shell, us dd if=/sdcard/[your_blob] of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p4

Then reboot and you should see a progress bar as it flashes.

Alternatively, after the mk2fs comand, you could see if cwm sees the sdcard. If it does, you could push a zip file and flash via cwm, assuming you have something that is flashable with cwm.

Good luck!

I'm not a PRO in Android but still, why do some people say "Stock is the way to go"? Because of stability? Less bugs?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] andrewlax120:
it just works.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] niamul:
Because a group of coders have decided what you can or cannot do; took away your freedom. As such, we are human beings and like being confined within boundaries.

So some people like going back to stock.

If you have chosen android, root and go custom and just muck about and explore and learn; the possibilities are endless
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
me personally, it isn't worth trading speed and stability for a few extra buttons. but this is all opinions. maybe you should try a few things and form your own opinion of it and not worry about it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
Because no feature in a custom ROM is worth the time it will take constantly set it up, troubleshoot, endless flashing, and OCD like symptoms.

Stock JB is just too good to mess with it. I unlock and root my devices once I stop getting official updates. I have tried many ROMs, kernels on my GNEX and Nexus 7 and I always go back to stock.

Locked bootloader, no root, encrypted. It just feels good. Plus, if you purchase a new device, all you would have to do is login to your Google account and voila!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CMNein:
Stock ROMs are great, when JB first came out and before there were AOSP builds I rocked a rooted + BB stock image for a few weeks and thought it was great. I was able to fill in a lot of the missing ROM customization with apps (quiet hours, battery %, toggles, etc...). Smooth, fast, and reliable.

At the end of the day however a ROM built from AOSP source with some tweaks on top is the way to go for

me

I run TSF shell launcher so no need for UI tweeks and stock is fine although I do mix it up with a Franco kernel.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] v3rk:
I love stock ROMs. I wish more devs would simply tweak and compile straight aosp ROMs instead of cramming them full of features. Variety is a nice novelty but it wears off quickly reboot after reboot and fc after fc.

And on the same note I know its personal preference, but stock android looks so sleek and clean now that all themes seem just plain ugly. And it seems like most devs either include the theme engine or do some theming of the ROM itself. Just too much going on and affects performance/stability in my opinion.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Laynee1:
LAst time i pointed out this fact, that i like stock more than custom rom (on GNEX), i was told to get iCab and to buy Iphone....

I like stock... Rooted, so i can remove search bar (only that). I can customize in perfect way, without obligation to flash constant updates, without getting fc-s, without taking care which kernel fits best etc...

Hello, this is my first post so be gentile.

I play for the Back Alley Barbers, and so being on the road all the time i really rely on my phone.

Here is what i have done so far:

Flashed stock Rom V.906

Rooted device (xt862)

Flashed xt883 radio.img

pushed the new modded-hybrid-xt862-xt860 build.prop

Phone specs:

Sys ver.57.1.60.xt883.chinaTelecom.en.CN

android Ver. 2.3.4

baseband Ver. n_16.18.16s

Kernel Ver. 2.635.7-g5fa4155xrp47@il93Inxdroid25#1

Build # SLNCT-57.1.60

Now my problem is this. I can start my phone up and everything works fine.

Boot is good all that. I start of in 3G fair amount of bars.

Although sometimes in the top right corner it will flash the sim card with the exclamation point on it.

then i get a error message.

Once i push the Force close button. The bars come back and the pone is back to normal.

However this will happen a few times, and sometime it wont get the bars back.

And the reboot process will happen 3 or 4 times. with no bars to speak of.

So if anyone can give me tips or hints on what to do. Or maybe send a hack or update my way would be awesome. I'll make sure i get you some free swag! I mean come on who doesn't want killer free s&%t from a kick ass band?!

I will be feverishly checking this for replies. Thanks in advance!:cool:
