Hi, people...
Just wondering if there is a way out of my situation, last night I installed the latest recovery image (RA-hero-v1.5.3.1), prior to that I put the latest Villian Rom on to update, but I think I messed things up, with some of the new menus in the Recovery rom as I accidently hits a few things :-(
Messages I'm getting are on almost every option I try is : E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 (or /dev/block/mmcblk0 (no such file or directory)
and
E:Can't mount SDCARD:/nandroid/
If I try any other options aswell I get "Error: Run 'bart' via adb" which is no good when I get the adb messages as for some reason my windows 7 pc has stopped detecting the phone in adb mode?!
The normal Hero bootloader get's detected fine in windows, is there anything I can do here to restore the system. I think some messages flashed by saying missing image! Which don't sound good.
Any ideas on how I can fix this?
if you have access to fastboot as you say, I'm sure you could fastboot recovery (just in case there's some weird issue there), then format the SD card and restore from a nandroid backup on your PC (I hope you took a copy of the backup on a PC).
Other than that, you might need to wait on someone like kendong2 to spread his words of wisdom here, as he seems good at solving stuff like this.

For the phone not being detected in adb mode? what shows in device manager when its plugged in under universal serial bus?
try formatting the card using a linux live disc like gparted...

Thanks for the advice, my heart started pounding very hard when you mentioned about the nandroid backup being backed up! Luckily, I done an SD card backup a few weeks ago and found the folder, phew.
Sorry for being a little foolish, but when you say do a fastboot recovery how is this done in the bootloader, i'll search google in the mean time. To format my sd card im going to have to get usb adapter I presume as you can't format the SD card from bootloader? Correct me if im wrong.

Thanks for the reply. Nothing comes up at all anymore, I can't see any changes when I plug in the device under recovery mode, and even when selecting the USB-MS mode, nothing is detected or shown on the USB devices list. However, when I first tried originally it came up with the device not recognised.
Got to get myself a SD USB adapter first to format the card.... so I'll give that a try.
Ok, got myself a USB adapter to format SD Card, i've put my backup of everying back on. I now understand about how to use the fastboot command via command prompt etc....
Where do I go from here? What commands to type etc.. I've looked at the options but cannot seem to use flashall command succesfully.
The device is listed when typing fastboot devices, so I take it that's one good thing for a start!
Again, thanks for any help with this.
Just another question does the SD card have to be formatted specially? Ie partitioned etc... perhaps this is why I can't get it mounted under the recovery options. Because I accidently done one of the partion options and from then on I had all the problems.....

After flashing some roms,my phone now can only access to internal and external sd from pc. Although, I can put files in sd, I can't see nor access to those files in my phones. I did some research and found out that the command in sdk could help me: "fastboot oem enableqxdm 0"
This is where I got stuck. I could access to adb and when I commanded adb devices I can see my devices attached. However when I typed fastboot devices, nothing shows up, and when I typed "fastboot oem enableqxdm 0", I got stuck in "waiting for devices" message.
I don't know what was going on, since adb command is still working fine. I would really appreciate any help here.
P.S. I don't know if this is matter, but I run on xp window.
I think fastboot is only for HTC devices. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.

haha. yeah, fastboot = htc.
I saw the title for this thread and had to do a double take that I was in the Vibrant section. This was almost news to me.
I saw both fastboot and adb exe file in android sdk. I thought they would work for all android phones.
If it wasnt, do you know any ways for me to reactivate sd card or to access sd card through my phone? Rite now i cant see any pictures or songs, which i put in my internal n external sd though pc.
have you tried simply mounting/unmounting... maybe copy everything to the pc, format it and then reboot?
settings > sd / phone storage.
I tried mounting,unmounting, format it from both phone setting and on pc. I still found no luck
edit: i even flash back to stock rom and do factory reset. Still no luck. Is there any other ways that i can try.

First of all, what rom are you running? And secondly, if you're trying to access your sdcards from recovery, you really only have access to the internal one, nut not as USB mass storage.
If you're trying to access the sdcard from your computer as USB mass storage, make sure you have debugging enabled, and then using the notification menu, tell it to mount the sdcard.

Phone got disconnected improperly when transferring files from my laptop in USB mode. Long story short I have tried many different files thru Odin but only Eugene_2E_JK2_Froyo.tar.md5 is the only one that allows my phone to work but I have no access to download any files as my internal card is not being recognized by phone or any computer I hook up phone with and yes I have the correct drivers and yes ADB does work.

Not able to format the internal drive. Thru settings nothing happens and phone not recognized when i plug into pc.
You might google eugenes froyo that will not brick, I have to use it to flash from eclair to froyo almost every time, follow the op. It will take you back to recovery, then use command or battery pull to reboot. Hope this helps.
Can you even get into download mode?

Yes i can get into download mode. Yes I have tried to use Eugenes no brick froyo but when I then try to download to stock I am not able to get past the boot screen. I think it has to do with something with the internal drive corrupted. any ohther suggestions?

Can no one in the entire community help me on this? I have a Samsung Vibrant that I can't download anything as my phone says it has no memory and I cannot flash anything as I get error messages when I go into recovery. I have no apps nothing!!! All I have is a phone that can text, make calls and surf the web. I'm stuck with a phone that has the capabilities from like 10 years ago

I think I had the same problem and trying to follow the directions I found the XDA didn't help. I was actually able to boot using the Eugene No brick FROYO but it still showed my internal memory as being unavailable. See my thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1637508
I gave up and sent it to Samsung. I just checked the status today and they had to replace the motherboard.
Check out for first post and try to format the internal memory. If you have the same problem as me and can't find the internal memory, you might be out of luck my friend.

Hey,
I've flashed Omega 33.2 and Siyah 1.8 kernel.
I used 5.5.0.4 CWM recovery (didn't change the recovery, just flashed Omega and right after Siyah).
I then flashed something from Omega kitchen that I guess made some problems with the ROM, so I got in a bootloop. Not a problem - I will just flash the rom again and everything will be ok, but unfortunately I deleted the rom from my phone memory. In those situations I just go inside recovery and mount the sdcard, so I went into mounts and storage -> mount /sdcard, I connected to my computer (windows 7) but nothing happened. So I tried to install kies, but it didn't help too. I also tried the same in Ubuntu (maybe it's mass storage and not MTP because from what I know linux doesn't support MTP), but it didn't worked.
I end up taking my external sd card, putting the rom on it, and flashed the zip from the external sd card.
I don't want to do it every time I want to put something in my phone through recovery. How can I fix this problem? (Yes, I tried more than one USB slot and cable).
Thanks in advance!

Thanks for your reply.
Tried TWRP, CWM touch 6, but it didn't work. I tried to mount external sd card and it didn't work also. Tried windows7, ubuntu (I think it's mass storage so it should work), and another computer with windows7, but didn't work in neither of them.
Also, tried 'adb devices' when the phone is plugged in in recovery and it didn't see the device too. Does adb suppose to work when I'm in recovery? (I'm developing Android apps so I'm sure that adb is 100% working when the phone is on).
In CWM 6, I press mount /sdcard and after I press the text is still mount /sdcard (doesn't change to unmount), and when I press mount /ex-sdcard it change to unmount /ex-sdcard but doesn't appear on the computer also.
Does anybody else is facing the same problem? very annoying :S
Nobody faces this problem too..? :/
same issue here!!! trying to get some help as I don't have an SD card available right now
Hi,
When the (HTC Desire) phone is powered up it is unable to mount the SD card, and I am unable to have it mounted from the "Settings > SD card & Storage" menu. Having said that, the micro SD card can be accessed from a computer (when plugged in directly to the computer, i.e. no issue with the card), and moreover, when I am in the recovery mode, I can have it mounted and browse it. By the way, the card could be accessed from the phone until I downgraded the O/S, and managed to have it rooted.
When the phone is running normally, and connected to the USB port of a laptop, the laptop does recognize a device connected (can even do ADB), but I believe because the SD card is not mounted, the phone does not offer the option to make the card appear as a disk drive for computer access.
I am running the original (RUU, Telstra) Android 2.2 (2.26.841.2) on a HTC desire, after I had it "S-OFF'ed". After reloading the original 2.2, I had it rooted.
The micro SD card is a 2GB one, with approx 1.5GB formatted as FAT16 (contains typical file and photos), and 0.5 GB as EXT3 (contains nothing at the moment).
HBoot: 6.93.1002
S-Off (thanks to Revolutionary)
Recovery mode: ClockworkMod v5.0.2.0 (I manually loaded it)
I have searched online for solutions, and have not been able to have it fixed. Others seem to have different issues to that of mine. Usually, they cannot mount the SD-card at all (not even from recovery), or their SD card just needed to be reformatted. I think I have indicated that these do not appear to be relevant to my issue at all. I have also tried "Fastboot oem enableqxdm 0", and it made no difference.
I look forward to your kind responses and feedback.
Thank you for your attention.

Welcome to the forum.
I had the same problem once. The solution is very simple but annoying: Many Android phones are unable to mount SD cards formatted with tools like MiniTool Partition Wizard. Reformat the SD card using CWM (ClockWorkMod) recovery and everything will be fine.
Good luck.
It worked

Dear friend,
Thank you so much for your simple tip. It worked! I felt so dumb for not trying it out myself. I guess I was tired of trying things without considering moving my data back and forth. Once more thank you.

Well, this IS annoying. I had the same problems and copied my data three times (~ 12 GB). So I can understand that.
Good evening,
I have also the same prroblem.
Is there any manual - instructions that I could follow in order to solve the issue with the CWM?
Thanks in advance.
So today I was looking at memes on Reddit and the pictures stopped loading. I was almost out of storage space so I thought maybe it had finally filled with memes and that a restart would delete some temporary files (?).
But after the restart it's stuck on the booting animation.
I am using Lineage OS 8.1, been using it since April with no issues.
I'm trying to mount it so I can copy the files but there seems to be some issue:
If I plug it in while stuck on the animation it doesn't show as a file system
If I use my desktop (Win 10) and plug it in using the mount option in TWRP it doesn't show up either
If I use my laptop (Win 10)and TWRP mount it shows up and I can seem to delete files but I can only access the sd card and I can't put files in there
If I use my laptop (Manjaro Linux) I can mount the drive and list all the files but I can't read or add anything.
So... I can't copy my files, I can't update to a new ROM and I can't boot.
I also tried using "adb devices" on my desktop pc but the phone doesn't show up in there if I'm in fastboot. It only shows up in recovery and bootloop modes :S
No idea what to do here.

Hey! I don't like asking this but... did you try switching your phone off and turning it on again ?
Okay, if you can access TWRP then try wiping dalvik and cache and it might just do the trick!
Also, try removing the SD card if you have one and restart. Corrupt SD cards can be the culprits behind implausible errors. Another thing you can try is draining battery to 0% and charge completely and try switching the phone on again.
Now these are just some easy and dubious fixes that might work and most likely won't. But just give it a try. If that didn't work we can try something else :
If you can access TWRP which I think you can because your phone is stuck at "boot animation" and not the boot logo. You can simply flash another ROM. I don't understand why you say that you can't do that.
1. Just take an SD card, copy any ROM you want to install.
2. Insert the SD card and reboot to recovery.
3. Flash the zip and you're done
If I'm missing something do let me know. Good luck!
