I tried searching for help, but can to a dead end. After I installed JF 1.5 and the phone rebooted, it just hangs on the G1 Tmobile boot screen.... I can restart it and load into recovery but get E: cant mount dev/block/.. I also tried the DREAIMG.NBH but when ever I try to load it (Power+Camera) I get "No Image Found!"... I dont know if it cant find the recovery_testkeys or if it was screwed up during the installation process... It does boot so im guessing no brick.
Any help is GREATLY appreciated
*EDIT*: SOLVED, I downloaded the DREAIMG-29.img, renamed the file with a .nbh extension, and bought a SD READER to MAC 4gig San Disk Card. IT ENDED UP BEING THE NEW CARD and READER THAT MADE IT POSSIBLE!
http://koushikdutta.blurryfox.com/G1/DREAIMG-RC29.zip (Rename DREAIMG.NBH..
Hope this helps this pesky problem
maybe
It might be that it's not reading the sdcard right to read image to reflash. But also some people have been saying some apps are causing it not to go past the g1 screen seem the most common factor is desktop theme apps are doing this people have been able to remove these apps useing umbuntu to remove these apps and all goes back to normal.
Hmm.. umbuntu has never been a real good friend to me.. but yea the SD card was my last possible indication. I thought that after doing a factor reset under recovery deleted the apps...? Is there a way to just reflash to stock rc 33 or rcc 29? Im sort of new to the Android Dev scene... Could the Recover_Testkeys.img image be causing an issue also?
Thanks
Edit: Iv heard that the type of SD card might be an issue (Transend, San Disc, ect.)? ..... I dont know though.
deleted comment... accidental duplicate post
Try a wipe. I had the same thing happen to me only i did something dumb, but once i flashed it, it worked again.
It happened to me today, It stayed on the Android screen for about 30 minutes So I removed the battery and turned it on with home+power button,
did a wipe, and applied the update again.
I dunno if doing the wipe helped but it works now
By wipe you mean recovery then (Alt+W).. Iv done it about 10 times. I keep getting the "cant mount SDCARD" and "dev/block/mmcblk0" after attempting to install update.zip.
Any other thoughts..? thanx
please tell me you have adb set up. if so i can try to help you otherwise i can't do much for you
Tubaking182, To be honest, i dont know for sure if I did set up adb... Could you please explain what it is and if it is still possible to set it up? If you could help me, It would be GREATLY appreciated... im about to give up.... such a pain in the a**
Bump.. for help issues
they may have changed the vold.conf in order to support A2SD, but that would prevent the phone from recognizing SD cards that are not partitioned.
I was rooting my HTC Magic 32A and had the same problem when I choose [Flash zip from sdcard] at RA-hero-v1.6.2
The message was "cant mount /dev/block/mmcblk0"
Then I choose [Other > Move recovery.log to SD] at RA-hero-v1.6.2
And went back to choose [Flash zip from sdgard] and then it works.
I'll try this forum, over 200 views on my other posts and no suggestions. Is the problem that obscure ? The tablet, while not worthless, is getting there as I am unable to load any of the hacks and fixes to the SD card to install. Is there a work-around the SD card so I could reinstall the g-sensor fix ?
With all the great minds on this forum, surely someone will have some insight into my problem. To start with I am running the latest Vegan release (thanks Team) and have been since 1/1. The only thing I can think of that might have caused this problem was that I foolishly removed my SD card without dismounting it and popped in a blank one to see if it was working. Since then, I am unable to mount an SD card. If just says "Unmount in Progress". When I click on unmount, it will unmount it and give me the "Mount SD card" option, when I try to mount it, it will say "preparing SD card", then go back to "Unmount in Progress". When I try to mount a new card, it says "Card blank or unsupported file system". But all the other card I have used in my Gtab give me the same Unmount in Progress issues. I reinstalled Vegan. Apps that used to work, no longer work, they just open and close (No FC message)
Someone please help !!!

I'm not one of the g tablet great minds but I'll make a suggestion that always works for me.
1) Format your external SD card in a computer with Fat32. Preferably not a quick format.
2) Using Recovery wipe EVERYTHING, repartition/format the internal memory.
3) Reboot into Recovery
4) Connect to a computer, mount usb, copy your files over again.
5) Re-install the rom of your choice.
In my experience (at least on the HD2 with Android) crazy FC's and otherwise unexpected behavior from a freshly installed ROM means there are leftovers that were not removed from the previously installed rom.
IMHO the device should be completely empty of every bit of software before reinstalling.
Edit: On a side note, I have NOT been able to get an external SD card from recovery which is why I do everything through USB-Mount with the computer.
If you can mount via usb, you could put the ClockWorkMod (CWM) update.zip and recovery file and then reboot with Pwr/Vol+. That should install CWM.
Then you will be able to boot into CWM and repartition or whatever you need to do. Personally I would repatition, clean out the caches, wipe data, etc. and then start with a clean slate.
Hope I have not misunderstood what you need. Hope this helps.

Factory Re-set
Don't know if this will help or not, somtimes you need to clear out the cashe.
Have you tried going into settings and clicking factory reset?
You will lose your user data, but this might be enough to fix the problem. I think you have parts of two installs overlapping each other.
Also, reformatting the SD card sounds like the next step to try if factory reset does not fix the problem.
Third you could NVflash back to stock and then start over. Then do factory reset after each install.
If you have to wipe everything I would suggest formatting your internal sdcard in clockwork to 2048 and 0

If you did a factory reset and nothing happened then the reset didn't work. I would install clockwork recovery from here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=851657
Then boot into clockwork recovery and clear data/cache. You will have to redo the market fix and install your apps. If this doesn't stop the force closes then boot into clockwork recovery and repartition your sdcard to 2048 and 0
I'm having the same problem. I did nvflash and started fresh. Installed CWM making sure to wipe data/cache. I partioned the SD to 2048/0. I installed vegan 5.1 and its update. I think I did everything by the book, yet it still says Unmount in progress. This did not occur when I was running stock.
I tried the sd card from mt Evo as well. It does the same thing. It also does not recorgnize any USB flash installed as well.
I've run out of ideas. Can anyone help?
Thanks very much.

My VEGAn 5.1.1 says same thing but I never have a problem accessing files on it (/mnt/sdcard2). Are you sure you are not confused by the fact that the internal memory is divided into 2 GB "system" and 14 GB SD1?

Be patient, it took forever to mount a thumb drive for the first time and I too had thought something was wrong. Try again after a reboot and a couple of minutes.
Hope this helps
Thanks for trying to help. I pretty much gave up and installed TNT 5.0. I've had the thumb drive in there for 5 minutes but I'll keep it in to see if it shows up. In TNT, the SD card seems to be working/appearing fine.
I really liked Vegan, but I'll keep TNT for at least a few days to see how it does.
Thanks again!
I have spent the last 3 days trying to upgrade my Tf101 with an up to the minute os but have bitten off more than I can chew. I spent the whole of the first day just trying to root it to no avail. Ok, no problem, sleep on it. Next morning tried a different method and " hey presto " I have done it.
So, next job is download " Titanium " and make back up to micro sd card, all done. I then followed " Frederuco's Guide and installed EasyFlasher with TWRP 2.3.6.0 and with a bit of fiddling and button pushing managed to load it and followed his guide right through to the second option " Custom Rom with custom recovery ". I had loaded KatKiss 4.4.2_019.zip along with the add on pack and the latest Gapps package. So far so good. Did full the full wipe/ factory reset, cache, davlick cache, system etc, more success, nearly there. Back to TWRP home screen an click INSTALL to start the flash............where is the micro sd..........? Check further.........micro sd not mounted......oh sugar.......
So now I'm screwed, I think I have bitten off more than I can chew. My little TF101 was working fine before I messed with it albeit a bit slow but it was working. Micro sd card slot was working fine up until now. I am not that PC literate if anyone can help me it needs to be in simple terms please, but I can follow instructions. My pc is running on win 7 32 bit. The Asus was totally stock on the last firmware that ended with .27
I do have a keyboard dock with it but has not been coupled to it through out this process.
Have I trashed my little Asus..?
I appreciate any thoughts even if it bad news. This is the first time I have ever attempted something like this, a total newbie.
Thanks,
Steve
Go to the "Mount" option in TWRP and mount the MicroSD ?
If I remember correctly, with the newer TWRP builds, you have to change between Internal and External SD using a dropdown on the Install page
Also, you need to have the micro SD installed on boot I believe. It is not auto mounted in TWRP.

Tried that, it says something like " unable to mount in the logs " Did it quite a few times.
Thanks for the reply

I thought that and that could have been my first mistake as I had not got the files on it when the Guide told me me to install the rom to flash.
I then put the files on a inserted the card but obviously it still did not mount. I did try the " mounting option " in the program but as you can see I did not manage it. I will try again but I am not holding my breath...!
Thanks for your reply.

Tyr flashing a different version with Easyflasher
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1688012
Or
Download a different flashable TWRP zip - 2.3.2.3 is the latest official build
Connect PC > TF and boot into TWRP
Use adb to push version 2.3.2.3 to the TF internal sdcard
adb push twrp.zip /sdcard/
Then flash from internal sd
You could do the same with the ROM
ok, lost me there....what is ADB ?
Just use Easyflasher, it's easy and quick
ADB
http://www.geek.com/mobile/what-is-adb-and-how-do-i-use-it-1461697/
I'm still trying now, have Easyflsher open but am struggling with it.......I've done so much reading my brain is pickled...!
I have been trying to use ABD sideload but it is not loading........
I am still trying to sort my problem out.
I have downloaded fresh copy of EasyFlasher- 0.8.3b-STABLE_2.6.3.0 which I assume is the latest version?
I am able to get the TF101 into APX mode and load TWRP.
It would appear that the TF is not connecting to my win7 PC because of a driver issue. When I go to device manager the Android ATP device has a yellow triangle through it which I asume is the driver issue. It keeps trying to load a new deiver but ends up as " Failed "
The drivers that I am pointing it at are " Universal Naked Driver 0.72 which I thought where the ones required or perhaps I am doing something wrong...?
I assume if I can get this connected I can move forward.
Can anyone help me with this issue please. I tried till 02.30 this morning, I never figured that it was going to be this hard..!
Thanks in advance

Hi, don't panic, you have already install TWRPP. At first be sure your microsd card is always on fat32 and get rom and googapps
If ok put your pad off and insert your sd in. Reboot on twrp. To see your sd card hit install, on the high of the screen you can see "choose a zip to install", above hit on "storage internal storage", a new screen will open, select micro sd, your rom and should be here. If you want to remake all wipe before flasing hit the back arrow in the hight right corner. Hit Wipe on the menu, select partitions to wipe, hit all except micro sd and external (of course). Install rom and gapps, wipe cache and dalvik cache, reboot. I try it this day on twrp 2.6.3.10, i don't remenber for 2.6.3.0, but the way is the same. Good luck

Thanks for the reply.
I had 3 hrs on it yesterday before your reply and got nowhere so decided to give it a break last night..!
I appreciate your help with this and will attempt to follow your instructions tonight after work. Are you saying that I should disregard the driver issue as you think I am connected to TWRP ok?
Thanks again

Yes, that the way i try first, if you can boot on TWRP there'snt any reason to reflash it !
To jh1969
I followed your instuctions......perfect, I don't think I would have figured it without your help. My micro sd card was formatted in NTFS...! Did format to fat32 and things started to work. Started form the beginning again and now I have it working again....!
I did a back up using Titanium (Apps+data) to the micro sd before I screwed it all up, just got to figure out how to restore that then things will be a lot better. Any idea how I get Gmail back ?
Thanks again for your help.
Figured out my Gmail problem, found the app on the play store, not sure how I missed it the first time.
Could not figure out Titanium, did try loads of times to restore apps & data but no luck so another late night downloading all the apps one by one and getting them all going.
At least I now have my pad working again but still have some issues to sort out.
I cannot get the camera working, when I try to open it I get " Unfortunately, Gallery has stopped"........I get the response also when I try to open " Gallery "
I have not yet figured out a quick way to look at the Micro SD....on the stock TF101 rom there was an icon you could open up in the bottom left corner but of course that has gone now. Any ideas?
Overall I am very please the way it is performing now, it is much quicker than it was prior to this update so thanks to all for there time for all who have developed these software's/roms etc to enable people like me to enjoy my TF101 and extend its life further. I would like to increase it speed a bit more but I think I had better get any issues sorted before I attempt anything else. I have not put it in its dock yet so will try that later today.
Hi everyone,
Since this is purely a question about the storage of my phone I thought it wouldn't really be necessary to post this on the HTC One S boards (since it's also an old phone and those boards might be a little dead) If this belongs somewhere else I apologize and I hope a mod can move it to the right boards.
So I have a HTC One S, I use CM11 on it with TWRP 2.8.5.0 and HBOOT 2.15, not sure if that's relevant information.
The HTC One S does not have any slot for a SD card, it has 16gb of internal storage.
Here's what happened: I wanted to go into my recovery but instead accidentally hit the FACTORY RESET that's right below it in the bootloader.
It did not ask for any confirmation and immediately showed me the HTC logo which means my phone is rebooting, this is where I (probably) made the mistake to hold the power button down to try and stop the factory reset of my phone.
I realize it was risky to hit the power button in the middle of a factory reset but let's just say I slightly panicked.
So my phone boots up and everything seemed to still be the same. Nothing was reset.
But a little later I notice the internal storage is unmounted. At least I think it is, see pictures:
[ I do not have enough posts to be allowed to post links, so excuse the unclickable links ]

When in TWRP -> Mount I am unable to mount "Internal storage", it simply doesn't allow me to check it in the list.
As I try to run the TWRP backup, it shows it is unable to mount the internal storage:
i.imgur.com/OcV42QC.jpg
I have found some instructions of how to get the storage to mount, but it involves wiping the internal storage and I wanted to try and recover my date before wiping it completely.
I've tried several recovery software but none of them even detect the disk, and Windows only goes as far as seeing a non responding "Removable Disk":
i.imgur.com/VF7xcLY.png
Furthermore when I try to connect it as a USB mass storage device it simply attempts but after a few minutes goes back to the "Turn on USB storage" button.
i.imgur.com/yK56jHW.jpg
I understand it's very likely that I will have to wipe the disk to be able to use it again, but I want to be completely sure there isn't a way to recover my data first.
Thanks for reading and any help you can offer.
well ,if you are rooted you can try to recover your stuff ,with an apk called disk digger from google playstore,, but it costs money... however you can find it for free on google ... just search disk digger apk free full download...hope i helped
Thanks for the reply, apparently I cant install some app either without an internal memory including the one you mentioned.
I think my next step is going to have to be wiping everything :/ hoping my internal memory will even work after that.
Apologies in advance if this is the wrong forum, there seemed to be so Samsung forums and didn't any more appropriate. If there is one more appropriate, could someone move my post to the correct one?
I have come across an old Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 which I had forgotten about, and can't get access to it. I can't remember the email that it was registered with and have no idea if I set a pin or not.
Is there any way to get access without delete the data held on the device? The unit has space for a memory card and a SIM. In fact, if I insert a sim, I can send an SMS to the device, but obviously can't read it.
Is there any way to boot the device or gain access to it from the memory card or from a connected PC?
Any help/pointers would be much appreciated/
I managed to boot up to the Android system recovery screen but am unsure about what I can do from there...
I know I don't want to select 'reboot system now' or 'wipe data/factory reset' but would be interested in what I might be able to gain using:-
apply update from ADB
apply update from external storage
wipe cache partition
apply update from cache
How would I apply an update from external storage? Or rather, where should I look for a suitable update?
