Problem after problem, lol....I have StreakDroid 1.9.0 on my phone...And I was trying to update to 1.9.1. Got the rom on there. Got into recovery. When I hit 'apply sdcard:update.zip, I see the yes, it says 'Yes - Install /sdcard/update.zip'...I click it, and it says
'Installing: SDCARD:update.zip
Finding update package...
E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk1p1
(No such file or directory)
E:Can't mount SDCARD:update.zip
Installation aborted.'
Then the apply sdcard:update.zip one says
'E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk1p1
(No such file or directory)
E:Can't mount /sdcard
What do I do? :/ And I don't think the internal card is the problem.
More than likely the external card this time. Run the checklist in the post linked below.

Did you rename the file to update.zip before you put it on? If not you might need to do the chose option to find the one named StreakDroid1_9_1_update.zip or something like that.
I did. Doesn't work.
The file may also be corrupt... download it again and start over
Nice thought but it isn't a corrupt file. I've tried to flash several different roms. Don't work. Also, a few programs won't work. Programs that I think are on the internal. Such as fb app. Also, saving files sometimes fails...Idk...
Just checking, you did put the rom on the root of the SD card and rename it to update.zip? I always use the option to select the file manually...

Put it this way....Flashing worked 2 weeks ago. And I'm not doing -anything- differently than I was before.

The only supposed fix I could find is to take out the internal microsd and put it back in...Supposedly, it's not seated right... I really don't want to take it apart, though...

hi
I ahve downloaded a pkg from dell and want to load the phone back but i am just getting errors
it says it cant mount the SDCard:Update.pkg
any ideas ??
This is the wrong section bro. Are you using the stock recovery?
Sent from my Dell Streak 7 using XDA Premium App
If you are trying to install from recovery rename the package to update.pkg. This will wipe all your apps and settings.
You must use stock recovery to install a .pkg file.
You may need to flash the proper recovery first.
See: Radimus’s Universal Guide to Flashing a ROM
Note: if you downloaded direct from Dell tapping on the download complete notice in the notification should start the update process.This will update without wiping your apsp and settings.
followed that guide and when it should be installing from SD i get the following
E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 (or /dev/block/mmcblk0)
(no such file or directory)
E:Can't mount SDCARD:update.pkg
E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 (or /dev/block/mmcblk0)
(no such file or directory)
E:Can't mount SDCARD:update.zip
sorted now, that guide sorted it, but had to change SD Card it was not working in the streak but was ok in the PC.......
anyways... I have never been so happy to see the O2 screen in my life

I had same problem with SD today. Windows PC doesn't format card correctly for phone. Remove the external SD card you are currently using. REPLACE WITH CARD THAT WONT WORK. Reboot phone until it will reboot completely. Go to SETTINGS==>SD CARD & PHONE STORAGE==>UNMOUNT SD CARD==>FORMAT SD CARD. Card will now work in Streak. MAKE CERTAIN YOU DON'T FORMAT THE CARD THAT IS WORKING!!!!!
I've had this same problem, I can't flash anything. I've tried to flash 1.9.1, because I only have 1.9, and I get the same error. I -have- tried changing the name. Doesn't work. Can anyone give me a complete step by step to fix this?
i got it solved
so... this is how it's happened to me.
when i reboot the streak after i fastboot flashed the streak with streakmod recovery, the recovery will be back to stock recovery. so... i have to delete install-recovery.sh from /system/etc to prevent the streak reinstalling the stock recovery, before it succeed to boot android OS.
so i flashed to streakmod recovery and reboot it to go into recovery mode and plan to choose "update from sdcard".
and when i tried to choose the update.zip from sdcard, there's error message:
"can't mount /sdcard"
so, i think that maybe because my sdcard was plugged into PC and got 'half-mounted', so recovery can't mount it.
so i powered it off, eject and re-insert the external sdcard again, powered it on and go into recovery mode, choose the superuser.zip to root my streak... AND... TADAAAA.... i'm all rooted
I want to run GingerStreak, but my phone will not let me fllash -any- roms. I'm stuck on 1.9. Can anyone help me? And to be more clear, I used to be able to flash roms, but now I get an error. Even if I change the name to update.zip.
We need more information. What recovery are you running? What rom are you trying to flash? What is the error?

Have you tried reflashing your recovery? Grab the latest version of MultiRecoveryFlasher and give that a shot.

Suggestion:
If you are sure you have StreakMod Recovery installed:
Remove you current SD Card
Install another SD Card
Format the card while in the Streak (you will lose any files on the SD Card)
Put the ROM files on it and attempt the upgrade
OR
Remove your sd card.
backup everything on it somewhere
put sd card back in Streak
Format the card (you will lose all files)
Put the files you need to flash ROM on the SD card and attempt upgrade
What ever ROM you install do a factory reset from the first Revovery page.
Copy the files you need back to the Sd Card.
Like I said, I was able to fllash roms before. Yes, I'm sure I have Clockwork on it.
I suggest that you use StreakMod Recovery instead and that you check your SD card as I wrote in my previous post.
It sometimes happens randomly, try powering the device off for a bit and repeating.
If it doesnt work after several tries then try the above, if it doesnt work with a diff card it might be a hardware issue in something, likely the streak
Yeah, it hasn't worked for months. So, I really Don't know.
Yes try updating recovery
Thanks to the help of Lordmorphous, I figured it out. My internal SD card had come unseated slightly. So, I cut off the plastic above the internal sd card, and reseated it.
I put a different sd card in and transferred all files from previous memory card. I noticed that my sdcard/nandroid folder with all my backups were deleted. I create a new one but whenever I go into recovery, it disappears. I try to make a backup and it gives me an error. It cannot locate the sdcard folder. Any ideas on why the nandroid folder is disappearing and how can I relink the sdcard folder in amon with the new card?
if I put the old card in, it backups fine.
From the topic about the recovery..
Always check recovery.log before posting your issues! You can do this by doing :
"cat /tmp/recovery.log" OR "cat /cache/recovery/log" right after you had the issue. Use the "move log to sd" option in the "others" menu right after you had the issue. This will move the log to /sdcard/recovery.log so you can easily open it with a text editor.

thanks. I should have mentioned that there is no recovery log created in any of the folders as I checked beforehand. I tried moving it to the sd card but still nothing.
Can't think of what would be wrong... perhaps, trying flashing the recovery again. That would force it to setup the directory correctly..
Is the card formatted fat32?

yup. this time i formatted the card from the phone in settings but again, once I remove the phone from the pc, it deletes the nandroid folder. very odd. I just recreated it in es explorer, rebooted into recovery and the backup is running now. wierd. hopefully it sticks.
reflashed amon and i can make a backup but now it won't flash any zips. Tried a few roms in case it was a bad file but no luck. finally got a log file too this time. (attached) also tried to flash from the phone storage and it won't work. any ideas?
Don't really know what this means but it looks like where the problem is...
Install from internal_sdcard...
Finding update package...
I:Update location: INTERNALSD:Business_ICS4.0.3_Sense3.6-v2.2.zip
Opening update package...
I:Update file path: /internal_sdcard/Business_ICS4.0.3_Sense3.6-v2.2.zip
E:Can't open /internal_sdcard/Business_ICS4.0.3_Sense3.6-v2.2.zip
(bad)
That was when I tried flashing from the phone storage. Got the same error from flashing from the sdcard.

Have you tried other zips or just this one since you reflashed? If just this one, did you check the md5 after downloading? Seems this may be a bad file if it can't be opened.
I had an issue with it not reading my external card once when flashing a ROM but it specifically said it couldn't read my external card. So I would guess it's the fie you are trying to flash.
While trying to install a ROM from my SD card with CWM I am getting the message "E:Can't mount SD card" I was able to move it internal and install the ROM but I'm curious why I couldn't do the same the SD card. The card does seem to be mounted correctly because I can go to ES Explorer and see the content with no problem. It only seems to be CWM Recovery that can't see it.

when i was watching the utube videos ( of Albert ? ) . . i remember he had to 'pop the card out and back in again', and then issue the 'read sd card' command once more .... to get it to cooperate . . i am sure i remember that. did you watch the video ?
If you are "rebooting" into recovery, the sd card will often not mount. Rebooting into Android also seems to have this problem. Simply removing the card and putting it back in will solve it for Android. I'm not sure about clockworkmod. I generally just power off and then manually boot into recovery.
I popped and put back in the SD card and now CWM recognizes. However I'm still having issues.
If I load the ROM NT_stock_1.4.0_Ribbon_Root_v2 (from the lavero.burgos thread) after it says that the install is complete I see this.
E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/log
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/log
E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/last_log
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/last_log
If I load the 1.4.0 stock ROM CWMrestore_1_4_0__plus_NTV16gbV4_6 then as soon as it says Installing update... I get
Installation Aborted
Something is amiss with my CWM
Which model do you have?

Well the ribbon rom shouldn't be seeing that error. You're installing the zip file correct? Maybe download it again. Try another rom like cm7 of cm9 and see what happens.
As for the cwm restore rom, that is not a flashable zip. You need to extract the downloaded file, place it at /clockworkmod/backup/ (on internal or external)and then restore it.

With the ribbon ROM I tried to take it to a place with free WiFi (since the error with not being able to get past the B&N registration due to not being able to connect to my WiFi) and get a different error. It sees the WiFi and when I click to registrator it bails with a message at the bottom that says "B-bind error." So I came home and again downloaded the other ROM (the 1.4.0 called CWMrestore_1_4_0__plus_NTV16gbV4_6) and still get the same error with that one. So I guess my next play is to try a third a third ROM but I'm not too confident that will work either. I've cleared the Dalvik cache. Should I also try clearing any other cache? I'm afraid I may clear out something I need and already kind of have myself in deep enough.
Last resort would be to reimage from an SD card but I feel like I'm so close and there must be something simple to get me over the hump.
How are you trying to install the cwm recovery rom?
Sent from my Xoom using Tapatalk
The ROM was installed by putting the zip in the root of my SD card, going into the CWM menu and using the install zip from sdcard option. I also cleared out the Dalvik cache as rcommended.
The recovery wasn't from a ROM but rather from a backup I did before trying the ROM install. It didn't work for whatever reason.
I've since punted (reimaged via SD card, rerooted and backed up again). The ROM failed again. Same thing where I can't get past the B&N registration page because beacuse my WiFi doesn't connect (Connted, testing). I did notice this time a b-bind error.
The one thing different is that my backup was successful this time as I can restore to the rooted 1.4.0 mode (WiFi works). So I don't need to start from scratch again but still can't seem to get a ROM installed.
I have successfully fixed it and it has no problem, it turns out the retard I bought it from replaces the screen but took out the internal storage and it was at a boot loop cause it couldn't store it's data! I'm very satisfied now! Thanks to all that tried to help me though. any mod or admin can close this thread now
I'm a bit confused.
If you have streakmod recovery installed you cannot flash a stock rom.
Have you tried using a micro SD adapter to put your card directly into the computer?
If you have streakmod installed then you need a custom rom. If your device is not recognised then try the way I suggested to transfer a custom rom to your micro SD card.

Yeah the micro sd works fine on my adaptor I just need to fix the brick its the boot logo loop. I just dont understand why it isn't recognizing my sd i put on the phone like in calibration test it found it but when i try to mount usb from streakmod it asks me to inser drive d: or whatever the drive letter was. Maybe you can point me in the right direction to fixing this brick.

first of all ... you must use streakmod recovery...
secondly... i think the inner sd card has gone bad...
I got same problem,
I took innerSD out and I check it in my PC, it said nothing wrong with it
but it is in FAT format, strange ..
I thought inner SD is in EXT format isn't it ?
Is that the problem ?
Try this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=16710474&postcount=7
To answer your questions...
1. The MicroSD should be in EXT format, not FAT or FAT32.
2. Yes, that is your problem.
Read the threads at the link provided. They have a wealth of information. Also to be found on the forums is a link to a disk image of the inner MicroSD, which you can use to restore your card. Assuming of course the link is still active.
Just currious
How can My InnerSD became FAT formated ?
I never touch inner SD before, and it run well for almost 4 years (never send "the error msg" + FC's)
I used, froyo > Stock Olleh > PowerRom > last MIUI 2.4.20
after MIUI installed, I used Pure Performance + some swap thing in aplikation + SD Booster
and then, I got the "can't mount messege"
and another problem is
if replace the innerSD and then I format the innerSD the way it should be (in EXT)
I dont have any image to copy, while the OEM InnerSD is in FAT
For the disk image, search the forums here. One of our users posted an image of the MicroSD quite some time ago. Assuming his link is still active, you can use that image to restore the card. If that image does not work, try formatting the card with SD Formatter from sdcard.org, then place it back into the Streak. If after that the card still doesn't work, replace the card.
As for asking how the card could be formatted in that fashion, I have absolutely no idea.
