[Q] Really need help , please ! - Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello guys , my dell streak was running latest olleh rom 407 and suddenly one day the phone restarted and now it's not opening . It get stuck at red olleh logo at the starting. I tried to flash another rom but it says everytime the same thing
E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk1p1
(No such file or directory)
E:Can't mount SDCARD:update.zip
Installation aborted/
I am fedup of this , have flashed many recoveries and tried installing many different roms but the same thing pop ups again and again.
Some fix to this would be very helpful... please someone

Lol... I've had the exact same problem, plenty of times before... Try formatting both cards (Obviously, you need to get access to the internal card first) then flashing recovery, then flashing rom again.

mmcblk1p1 is the outerSD card.
It happens often to me when I'm restarting and entering recovery mode.
Try pulling the batt for a moment and then going into recovery mode, usually fixes it for me.

I can't see my internal sdcard .. do i need to break that plastic cover? :-S and also I am not getting the linux thing.. can't it run in windows? Please help.. would be very much thankful.

You have to cut away the plastic to get at the internal MicroSD. I thought the picture showing this in that thread was a dead giveaway to that fact but then again I tend to pay attention to these not-so-minor details.
Clonezilla is only available for Linux. From appearances you burn a copy of Clonezilla onto disc then start using Clonezilla with that disc by booting from the CD. When done with Clonezilla, eject the disc and reboot your computer.

And if that is the case any possible fix??
Had a similar problem some time ago and I fixed it by re-formating, re-partitioning and so on with EaseUS Partition Master (http://www.partition-tool.com/personal.htm - it's free).
If I remember correctly, I had to do it twice since after the first time it still gave me problems.
Hope this helps!
Unfortunately i tried that program too and right now i dont even have the ex4 partition as i dont need it.i am using the phone normally thats why i dont go for service but i just cant transfer files from pc...

Fix for bricked nooks from CM7 "formatted sd"

for this fix, you will need to have a CWM sdcard ready and waiting followed by and drivers properly installed for your tablet.
YOU MUST have CWM running from sdcard to fix this issue. Otherwise nothing will happen.
instructions to install to sdcard are here (I suggest using windows)
Needed files for download:
just download this zip and run the script while booted into cwm from sdcard.
download it here.
Instructions: Boot from sd (don't worry, it will work), ensure sdcard is mounted, and then you just run the fix.bat from the computer after extracting.
Credits: Succulent for the xloader image
Fattire for the idea that it might have formatted mmcblk0p1 (which it dead instead of mmc1)
You're welcome.
Might want to add that the cause of the "brick" appears to be that CM7 is confusing mmc1 and mmc0 and instead of wiping the first partition of the SD card, it's presumably wiping the first partition of the emmc, which contains the x-loader.
I already have said it.
Ah okay... well glad everything is fixed now.

Bowing head in shame here...... Rookie mistake!
Looks like we have to make a bit of a tweak to the system then do some testing.

Hi Indirect. I see that you have fixed your NT. I did not use sd i did install cm7 internally but i did format all the mounts . And now it just restarts in CWM. What should i do. Any idea please
Well guys, I'm still having problems. I ran the brick fix before you updated it - didn't work. I then re-ran after you updated it - still didn't work. It'll boot to CWM from SD, but won't boot to any ROM. Tried re-installing CM7 (didn't work), then I tried the Nook141root.zip which supposedly installs the BN 1.4.1 from CWM (also didn't work). Tried re-running the brick fix a handful of times after and before installing each ROM with no luck. Then I tried running it without installing a ROM. Tried the brick fix then I tried the BN 1.4.0 restore file. I tried on multiple freshly formatted SD cards and I even tried on a computer I was working on with a fresh install of Win7 with a fresh install of the drivers just to rule that out.
Before all this I had CWM and CM7 installed internally - if that makes a difference. Ideas?
Edit: More info. When trying to wipe data/factory reset in CWM I get the errror "E:format_volume: make_ext4fs failed on /dev/block/mmcblk1p2"...this occurs right after rebooting from the brick fix.
Edit 2: More info yet...in the brick fix I'm getting the text "error: device not found" twice right after entering "y" then again a handful of times later. Is there anything special I have to do in CWM to get it to detect it? I have sdcard mounted...
Im geting this and then my nt restarts by itself and then im back in cwm again so nothing is fixed.

Actually with mine it does not matter . I get till the step y or n without mounting nothing. Than i mount the sd card and press y and enter.
Than as u can see does try to write something and than my nook does reboot .
And the ending is the same. So no progress so far.

Were you running from internal or SD when it bricked?
Does it boot to CWM on it's own without an sd in the slot? If it does have you tried restoring/flashing a backup?
Reason I say about the backup is I just bricked my own systems on purpose when running from sdcard, it kept gpoing back to CWM after the xloader was returned to it. Restored an original backup and all is well again

Yes i have had it internally.Not in an sd.
Yes mine doew boot to CWM on its own without and sd in slot. And yes i have tried restoring to re flash back up. Cause i have installed CM7 once and it did run well. But than after installing some programs became slow so i wanted to redo it again. And than i did format all: bootdata, cache, emmc, rom, system,sd-ext.
And then i installet cm7 again and all the installing went well againg . But it just want start cause is missing something in one of the mounts. So what i think is only needed if ill be able to restore the data that is in all those small partitions like emmc. I know that bootdata,and cached gets backed up but i dont know if the orthers are backed up or not.
Thanks for trying to help.
Edit: I have to go to university now. But if it would make it easier for you to help, I can shot a video afterwards with all the steps what i have done and how is my nook behaving now.Just let me know .
Edit1: I did try to restore to stock or update to 1.4.1 but it tells me MD5 mismatch.
Is it possible that i can push in with adb the files that are in the boot data, eMMc and other mounts i mean one by one.
I was running internal when it bricked. Only boots to cwm from SD now.

I'm in the same boat...I think when we did a format of the rom partition, we lost some data that was not backed up...That being said I have done a lot of reading and I think all hope is not lost.
We did not format the "factory" partition which from what I have been reading may contain a backup of the "rom" and other partitions.
I wonder if it is possible to pull the data from the factory partition, extract the data that we need and then push the appropriate files back to where they belong? It's way beyond my expertise, although I do have ADB working and I think if someone could point us in the right direction, it wouldn't be that difficult...I could be completely off base though...Good Luck and If I make any progress I'll make sure I pass the info along.

I got the bloody ADB issue.... I was able to boot to CWM from SD card, and it's mounted. BUT! Adb devices gives me nothing, no device. I did all the troubleshooting of the driver, i got the "Android composite ADB interface" device but still no adb device appearing. Please help! My only idea if this fix can be incorporated into a flashable zip. May be there is some other way?
Thanks.

I had thought about a flashable zip. I will look shortly and build one
I tried repartitioning my nook and it really bricked it now. It won't boot from SD. Tried a different card and fresh download of CWM. I think it's totally borked.
Edit for clarification: repartitioned from within CWM on SD
Edit2: Tried a 3rd card (first 2 were 32gb, 3rd was 16gb) and it let me back into CWM. ADB still isn't working though.
Edit2 clarification: I only say ADB isn't working because the brick fix says device not found. If I'm wrong please feel free to correct me.

[Q] Unknown problem! Someone help me!! O.o

Hi everyone!
I have (what I think is) a huge problem on my phone and after looking in tons of forums for solutions I found that the people here seem to really be able to help me.
I'm new to android phones... So please bare with me...
So I bought this phone in second hand from a friend who was in need of some cash for college (I don't really like to buy used stuff but...), and it came rooted with cyanogenMod7 but I was having trouble cause the phone wouldn't recognize my sd card and I couldn't connect it to my pc so I tryed to change it back to its original settings...
Its a vodafone 845 (huawei U8120)..
A friend of mine tried to help and we found this recovery menu (Clockwork recovery v3) and he chose some format options (format boot, system and data) and now the phone is useless! It still doesn't recognize my SD card or my pc, I can get into this recovery menu again but cant seem to fix the problem!
Other than that all the phone does is show the initial hourglass forever...
I would be so gratefull if someone could help! Thank you in advance!

Well you wiped the phone, so there's nothing to boot into.
You need to put a rom on the root of the SD card (not in any folders). Make sure the rom is made for your device. Boot into recovery and flash the rom, you should have a working phone after that.
Thank you for you help!
Now the only problem that stands is that the phone doesn't mount my sd card... Its an 8gb kingston, maybe I should get one with less capacity? The previous owner used a 4gb card and she said she never had any trouble regarding that...
Although the phone specifications on the net say it can handle cards up to 16gb :S
Have you tried mounting the SD card in clockwork mod as the usb disk drive?
Its found under mounts/storage.

Ok guys, I've gotten as far as flashing the rom!!
Made huge progress in exchange for several hours of sleep xD
Now the only problem that stands is that when I choose the option "flash zip from sd card" I get this:
"E: No signature (242 files)
E: verification failed
Installation aborted"
And I'm lost again, yet soooo close to fixing my phone! :/

There should be an option somewhere to turn off signature verification. If you can find that option, toggle it off and try again.
You should try installing the original Firmware.Or Reinstall CM7
I got very similar problem. Have u tried to install different sd card. Maybe current one is broken like in my case?
Note: I do not have this device
See [GUIDE]All Huawei new&old phones-Install Stock Rom-Full Reset
Procedure:
1) Download stock ROM from HERE (im guessing you want Vodaphone UK)
2) Format your SD card to FAT32 (plug it into computer, right click on device, format, follow instructions)
3) Create the folder "dload" (without the quotes of course) on to the root (top level) of your SD card.
3) Extract the UPDATE.APP from the stock ROM and place it in "dload"
4) Power off your phone and put sd card in.
5) Power on by pressing POWER+RED_BUTTON+VOLUME_UP
If done correctly you will see a progress bar saying "UPDATING!"
Edit: this will reset the device to normal, however it will of course require a working SD Card. Try using a friends, try using your card in other devices (other phones, computers, etc).
To test SD Cards in your phone:
1) Insert Card
2) Boot into recovery
3) Go to Mounts & Storage menu
4) Plug device into computer
5) Choose "Mount sdcard over USB" (or similar)
6) If it shows up on the computer it is working, and you may as well use it to carry out the steps above
Note, if you are still checking for sdcard after resetting the phone, you will need to devise another method as the recovery will be replaced. For example use the storage menu in system settings, as this will show stats on the sdcard if it is readable.
My phone is working!
The problem with the SD card was that it was password protected, so I used another phone to disable the password, about the ROM, i just picked another one, I actually found it here on XDA! The celestial teapot, I really like it
Now all I want to know is if its possible to have multitouch on my phone?
And by the way, THANK YOU ALL for your help guys! You're awsome!

No problem, glad to help. Glad you got everything up and running too Multitouch is included in the kernel (at least on my device). If you can find a custom kernel for your phone, make sure it's compatible with your rom. I'm not familiar with your phone, so you'll need to do some checking on kernels. I'm not sure if multitouch is also a hardware limitation or not, so if you don't have multitouch at all it may not be possible. Kernels determine the number of touch points on my phone, if you don't have it at all then it may not be possible or there may be another mod for it.
If you can flash a custom kernel to achieve this, remember to do a nandroid backup first. Always do a backup when flashing anything. If they start to take up too much space, delete the old ones and just keep the most recent. Also remember to only wipe dalvik and cache when flashing a kernel.
Again, since I'm not familiar with your phone you'll need to do some research on these things first. The best thing you can do is read, read, and read some more. If you get stuck again, the good people here will always be able to help you out.

/emmc/ completely corrupted, can't format it

Edit: I think i fixed it by "cleaning" with diskpart and using an sd card to copy a rom and flash it, then booting up android and letting it format the internal storage. Will report back if any problems occur! Check post # 6 on this page for the solution. Also, sorry for the erratic writing, it's 4:55AM here and i need to be up at 9AM!
AtrICS rom did a random reboot and was saying something about encryption failed. Strange, i've never used that setting (i don't even have a screen lock). I rebooted the phone and it wouldn't get to the ROM, so i went into recovery and tried restoring a backup. After a few seconds it aborted. Strange. I mounted usb so i could copy a fresh rom.zip to flash, but after a few MB, it was throwing a "cannot read from source disk" error. Internal storage was corrupted.
I can read data from the partition, but after a while it'll lock up. I cannot write to it at all. I also get an error in CWM "unable to write to ums lunfile (no such file or directory)".
How can i fix this? I was thinking full sbf flash, but is that too risky? I'm in the UK (t-mobile), came with stock froyo, unlocked bootloader and flashed gingerbread onwards. Is it safe for me to flash back to froyo or something, or will my unlocked bootloader get me bricked? How can i fully clean this pesky corrupted partition any other way?
Thanks.

Sure did not mess with encryption. Rsd flashing did nothing, fastboot does nothing for me. Now the rom I'm stuck on is getting errors and fc's like crazy and the touch screen is beginning to fail.

Damn. I would have thought RSD would be the last resort...
I think i've made some progress. I have to be up in 5 hours so i'll be making this short. You will need an SD card.
I was sick of the lockups created by the corrupted /emmc/ partition, so i rebooted my phone, went back into recovery (it would never mount any filesystem after mounting emmc once, so a reboot was needed every time) and mounted emmc. Showed up on my computer, and gave me a chance to copy my photos and all that. Thank you!

Went into Disk Management and right clicked the black bar "unallocated space" and made a new simple volume, formatted as fat32 and that's that.
I then copied a rom onto my sd card and flashed via cwm. Everything seemed to go well, i could boot up (remember, because of the failed encryption, i was wiping my /system/, /data/ etc to try to get a fresh start so i had no rom to get on.
Will report back any problems. Just had one, i booted up fine but realised my usb cable was still plugged in so sd and internal storage were unmounted. Unplugged USB and phone froze (due to corrupted partition?). I recognise that freeze, i had it earlier on today (is that when the partition got corrupted?). It's rebooting right now, no usb cable plugged in. Wish me luck.
Android gave me a "your internal storage is corrupted" notification and offered to format. I allowed it and everything seems to be well! I will be filling it up right now before going to bed to see if it will lock up, but i think i fixed it!
Well congrats I'm glad you had such luck! It seems our problems are a bit different unfortunately because it goes a little deeper on my end. Thank you so much for the help.

Which leads me to my ADB drivers dont work correctly, so i try to fix them for about and hour... and im back to the point where i need some advanced help....

Is there anyone willing to help me out with this? Let me know, ty guys
I'd suggest burning a CM10.x pre-made SDcard image (e.g., cm_acclaim_10.1_21APR2013_HD_SDC_IMG.7z from Succulent's repo http://iamafanof.wordpress.com/2013/02/18/cm10-1-jellybean-android-4-2-2-for-nook-tablet-0218/) and see if your NT can successfully boot and run a ROM from SDcard. If it does then you can proceed to restoring stock ROM (or flashing CM10) internally on emmc.
Also, refrain from reformatting any partition (other than possibly /cache, /system, /data, if you have good reason to do so and know what you're doing), as you risk making the problem worse -- see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=37515697&postcount=31.

Much thanks for the attempt. But after trying everything you siad (and following them to dozen of other stuff) still no fix.
Basically i need help to re-write my emmc partions it seems. Is this correct?
I can get it to boot to CWM from a SD card, but no further.
Additional info -
I cant get ADB to work at all, it boots into CWM (CWRM?) where i can apply update.zip and all that stuff, but ADB doesnt list my device (i tried on 2 different computers). Was thinking my drivers were messed up or something, but in device manager it lists my device as a E: and F: (emmc and SD card?) so i dont really know where to go from here.... fml

Follow the guide for setting up the SD card. Get to the last step:
wait until device boot into recovery.
This never happens, it shows me the "n" and reboots over and over.

Do you have another SD Card to try? I had the same problem getting mine to boot from SD after I updated it to 1.4.3 (ages ago), but trying a different SD Card fixed the issue.
Also, I think the post I have in my signature has instructions that are similar to that other link but might be a bit easier to follow. I wrote them so that a non-technical person should be able to follow them. Nothing against succulent, he does wonderful work.
make sure you take out sdcard before it reboots
i had same porblem. the fix

i noticed that these new sd boots for recovery don't really work. i had to use the cwm and sd boot stuff from the nook color and worked like a charm. BUT! u have to be very patient and vigilant because depending on the type of usb cord u are using (factory nook usb cable, or generic cable) i may take awhile to boot from sd.
step1- download (https://www.mediafire.com/folder/dd1cwv3uw0u18/NOOK TABLET) <<-----sdboot.zip and cwm.zip
step2-download minitool partition wizzy
step3-put sd card into computer
step4-using minitool, delete partition, create partition (make primary, and fat32), right click on sd card (usually F set flag to active and change partition ID type to 0x0c fat32lba and then click apply. (IN THAT ORDER)
step5-once parted copy from the sdboot attatchment provided to sd card, the recovery.img, MLO,flashing_boot, and u-boot. Also put the cwm emmc.zip provided as well into sdcard.
step6-put sd into nook, MAKE SURE NOOK OFF BEFORE U PUT IT IN OR U WILL HAVE TO DO IT ALL OVER AGAIN, then plug nook into computer via usb cord, be patient and wait for nook to boot, once it finally boots, U MUST BE VERY QUICK AND PRESS "N" THE SECOND CYANOBOOT POPS UP, GO TO SDC RECOVERY NOT INTERNAL RECOVERY. that will load up sd cwm, once it is up it will now let u install the cwm i provided. install it.
step7-once this is done unplug it from comp, turn off, and repeat steps 3-6 (BUT THIS TIME ADD THE CYANOGENMOD 10.+ YOU WANT TO USE IN THE SD CARD AS WELL ALONG WITH THE CORRECT GAPPS) once sd cyanoboot pops up choose internal recovery instead of sdc recovery. install cm10+, gapps, and the internal cwm emmc.zip i gave u as well for good measure.
step8- once done take out sd card and reboot regularly with/without usb doesnt matter. u should be good...........it seems like alot but its actually rly fast when u got the hang of it.
I HOPE THIS HELPS YOU. LMK if my link doesnt work. these sd files are the only ones i found that actually work for me. maybe they work for u

Closer than anything i've tried! When i try to choose internal recovery the system just freezes and i cant get it to go any further! I was soooooooo happy then this crushed my dreams lol....
Thank you so much dude, any suggestions to finish this out?
edit:
Added information, after installing the flash emmc provided, it says everything was fine.
Then when i go back to the main CWM menu, i have a error saying:
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
Dunno if this means anything really, but figured more info is better. Thanks!

that info is crucial actually. and this is what happened.
whatever you did to you nook prior to all this messed up ur internal pertitions. meaning they are all different sizes and such than they should be. maybe u installed something that belonged to another device (not the sdboot that wouldnt do it) more like a wrong cm version or something or even a kernel. whatever the case ur partitions are funky. going to work now but when i get back ill take a look and see if i can find something. i ran into same problem with my nook color a few weeks ago and got it fixed hopefully nook tablet has pretty much the same thing. getting it booted up is good though.will try to give u something later today

So last night i tried to load from SDC, internal recovery and pretty much any option it would let me. I have no idea what that broke but now when i plug my cable in it will not boot to SD or EMMC.... Take the SD Card out and try to boot and it will goto the "n" screen after about 2 min... then just stay black (im assuming its actually still on)...F M L
i think i got a fix.

scroll down to Other flashable Files (Did you messed up your Nook Tablet?) and follow these directions. if ur confused on any of them ASK FOR CLARIFICATION BEFORE U JUMP INTO SOMETHING. this will help u repartition areas 1-6 which is would i did for my nook color and it worked when i ran into this EXACT problem so maybe this will help u. also if ur sdcard stopped booting to cyanoboot where u press "n" to enter cwm recovery, maybe a new one like i listed from sratch, go through all the steps again and jus add the appropriate zip files from succulents recovery tutorial listed above
get back to me asap if u have ANY questions :fingers-crossed:

ALSO!, i believe it talks about just flashing cm7 based on this 1.4.2 stock flash. 80% sure u may need to update to 1.4.3 stock in order to proceed to flash cm10+ (WHICH IS WUT U WANT) cm7=garbage now that bexus-n kernel has been out and even without it the new cm 10.+ cyanogenmods are pretty sweet.
(if u get it working, word of caution is the 10.2cm stable+ later nightlies have some NT related internal storage problems as of today. so u might want to flash 10.2m1 if u so choose to go past cm7 gingebread) GOOD LUCK! i hope u solve this. because i know this thread would help alot of newbs when troubleshooting.
