would you mind trying section 2 and seeing if you can get on powerwashed eh09 gingerbread? then we will go from there.

i flashed EH09 by open and in CWM 4, when i try to flash E:Can't mount /sdcard
this comes up
and when im on CWM2.5, it says
E:Can't mount /sdcard
E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk1p1 (or /dev/block/mmblk0)(Device or resource busy)

you can't use cwm 4 to flash pweh09. follow my directions in section 2...its really easy.

No i mean i went pweh09 by odin.
Then odin cwm 4 -> choose zip from sd card = E:Can't mount /sdcard
When i odin cwm 2.5 -> choose zip from sd card = E:Can't mount /sdcard
E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk1p1 (or /dev/block/mmblk0)(Device or resource busy)

Ok your doing everythin correctly then...hmm I will do some digging and see if I can find a solution for ya. I know its painstaking but try to odin every stock package you can...such as eb01, ed05, dl01... also might be worth a shot to reformat the sdcard in cwm. hang in there, certain fascinates have trouble with converting to mtd...mine did aswell.

i cant even format the sdcard. and cant even mount the sd card in cwm4.

I see in the op you tried changing sd cards... is the card brand new and what class is it? Also you might want to try pulling the sd card, follow the guide instructions and install the sd card after you odin cwm4 and then three finger to recovery and flash. This just worked for another member having the same issue! If it works for you all add it to my guide!

[Q] ClockworkMod/nand - sdcard mounting

The threads I looked at were out dated, or dealt with other mfgs. If it's out there, please post the link so I can follow it.
Used ODIN to flash ED01DB_DOx_SHARK.tar and clockwork file this morning from-- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1048380
In cwm [3.0.0.8], this is what I did and the errors I received:
Attempting nand backup
E:unknown volume for path [/sdcard]
Can't mount /sdcard
E:unknown volume for path [/cache/recovery/log]
E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/log
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/log
E:unknown volume for path [/cache/recovery/last_log]
E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/last_log
E: Can't open /cache/recovery/last_log
E:unknown volume for path [/cache/recovery/command]
So then I tried this:
Command = mount /sdcard
E:unknown volume for path [/sdcard]
Error mounting /sdcard
Any thoughts or work around? Some threads say partition, some format. But I cannot seem to find anything that is Fascinate specific. Thanks!
No ideas at all? Only found 2 or 3 threads across the net and none deal with this version of cwm

Doing a nandroid backup with that recovery is a known issue. You can check toward the end the thread for possible solutions, I believe you have to go into mounts and storage from the first screen of that CWM and mount system and data before being able to do a recovery:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1046905
Or you can flash the CWM from nemesis2all which I believe is capable of doing a nandroid backup:

Thanks - will look it all over once I get home!

Will pushing that through ODIN with fix the sd mounting, then? End result is to load a full custom rom. Looking at comrom 2, but those instructions say to load via cwm, but do you know if it is possible to load it through ODIN like I did for for the ED01DB_DOx_SHARK.tar
UPDATE: Those packages install VooDoo lagfix also -- Saw the folder on my sdcard, downloaded the VooDoo app in marketplace and:
Deselected the button - not lit
Rebooted in Recovery
-here it loaded the VooDoo recovery-
Was able to wipe all caches
Then did a backup through Voodoo
I can't post in the dev forum yet, so here it goes. Is it possible to load ComRom2 via VooDoo [ran a search in that thread with no specific results]? Will there be issues later due to both cwr 3.0.0.8 and VooDoo 2.5.1.x
EDIT 2: Took the plunge and ran them through the voodoo recovery and it all worked. Thanks for the tips above!

[Q] HELP !!! Streak wont read SDCard to flash Update.pkg

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

*sighs*

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.

Sorry Eikiel, didn't realize I posted the same suggestion as you

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...

im getting an errow when trying to install a backup and i read that it can probably be fixed if i install the latest version of clockwork. i currently cant get past the htc boot screen so is there a way to install the latest .img from recovery? im running 3.0.2.4 and have the image for 5.0.2.1 just not sure how to install from recovery.
and fyi. the error i am getting is "Error while formatting /system!"
also i get the same erro when trying to install older backups as well. so i know its not just a problem with my latest backup.
and when clockwork first opens i get
E: cant mount /cache/recovery/command
E: cant mount /cache/recovery/log
E: cant open /cache/recovery/log
E: cant mount /cache/recovery/last_log
E: cant open /cache/recovery/last_log

You need to format your sd card to use
First connect the sd card to the computer and copy the files
Then format sd card to fat or ext4 or ntfs (not sure which one is supported on your device)
After formatting, copy only the required files into the sd card and then try to access recovery.
And then try to install a zip.
If you still don't get, then try to change recovery and use some other custom recovery and try to flash again.
Press thanks if I have helped.
PM me if you don't get it working properly.

That custom rom is the problem. I can guarantee it.
If you have the image of the stock rom, you have more chances of accessing your tablet.
I think you can use ADB. I personally never used ADB before. So you can search on Google and Xda on how to use it.
