[Q] E: Can’t mount /dev/block/mmcblk0 (or NULL) ( No Such file or directory)

Hi Friends,
I am new to the XDA community and was driven here as a lot of my friends recommended this.
I recently installed the InDroid 4.0 on my Samsung Galaxy I5801 handset. Everything went fine, no problems. After that i wanted to upgrade the version from 4.0 to 4.1, but the upgrade method didn't work.
I would get the following error :- E: Can’t mount /dev/block/mmcblk0 (or NULL) ( No Such file or directory) .
I have searched the forum and trust me, if there was a tool on this website which would tell you how long I have been searching, it would be nothing less than 8 hours straight.
I have read thru the forums about fastbooting and other options.
To begin with, I tried formatting my phone completely, used another SD card but I would get the same error. My phone is rooted but that error seems to keep popping up.
I get the following when I reach my Recovery Screen :-
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Android System Recovery
Samsung Recovery Utils – For BML-
Enter : ok key, select
Reboot system now
Apply sdcard:update.zip
Wipe data factory reset
Wipe cache partition
Finding the update package…
E: Can’t mount /dev/block/mmcblk0 (or NULL) ( No Such file or directory)
E: Can’t mount SDCARD:Update.zip. Installation Aborted.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I followed the steps exactly as in the InDroid forum and also, I downloaded the videos off youtube, just in case, but no go.
I am faced with two issues:
1) With this update, my memory card would never show up in the PC.
2) I cannot upgrade the versions.
Is there any way that I can directly go to version 4.4 instead of following the upgrade path?
Is there any way that I can upgrade by resolving this issue.
I am back to my factory Default Installation and the memory card works fine and everything else works fine.
I know that you guys are professionals and busy, but Any help would be Really appreciated. I could just back away to the factory ROM but i don't want my efforts to go waste.
Please Help.
Regards,
Shashank Raj.

[Q] LG Optimus One P500 - Error Status 6 while flashing Oxygen ROM

I upgraded from Oxygen_ics_v1.1.0 to omni-4.4.4-20101210-p5100-NIGHTLY ROM. Unfortunately battery was draining like a broken pot and wanted to switch to Oxygen ROM again.
So, rebooted into CWM Recovery v6.0.4.6 and done two things:
1. wipe data/factory reset
2. wipe cache partition
3. wipe dalvik cache
After that when tried to select the oxygen_ics_v1.1.0.zip file through install zip menu the following error msg is flashing on screen:
-- Installing: /storage/sdcard0/oxygen_ics_v1.1.0.zip
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Installing update...
E:Error in /storage/sdcard0/oxygen_ics_v1.1.0.zip
(Status 6)
Installation aborted.
Anyone Kindly help with this problem...
Thanks in advance...

Sir,
Please wait until mods will move this thread to the device specific forum.
Stand by
Good luck

[Q] Bricked Photon Q - boots into recovery

I think I've just successfully bricked my Photon Q.
Right now I'm stuck with Clockwork recovery (v 6.0.1.3) and my system backed up.
I've tried to install CM12 (cm-12-20150330-NIGHTLY-xt897) but it gives me an error :
Code:
Installing update...
Warning: No file_contextsThis package is for device: xt897asanti_c; this device is asanti.
E: Error in sdcard 0 update zip (Status 7)
Installation aborted.
When trying to recover my system from backup it gives me :
Code:
E: format_volume: make_extf4fs failed on dev block platform msm_sdcc.1 by-name system
Error while formatting system!
Right now I'd like to install ANY CM that would actually work. Please help!

Flash the correct recovery.

[Completed] Rom error [ please help ]

Today I decided to upgrade my Android 4.0 on my Samsung Galaxy S III mini to Android 5.1 ( Lollipop ).
I decided to install Cyanogenmod 12 to get Android 5.1 ( Lollipop ).
So I put Cyanogenmod 12 on my external SD-Card.
Then I installed ClockworkMod Recovery [Version 6.0.2.7 ] on my phone.
After that I did a factory reset and then I started the installation.
After 3-5 minutes,there was an error :crying:.
It says: " ApplyParsedPerms: Isetfileicon of /system/lost+found to u: object_r:system_file:s0 failed:
Operation not supported on transport endpoint
set_metadata_recursive: some changes failed
E:Error in /external_sd/Download/cm12.1_golden.nova.20150901.zip
(Status 7) Installation aborted. "
Then I tried to reboot my phone,but everytime it returns to ClockworkMod Recovery.
I searched for a solution,but I didnt find it.I tried
to do a factory reset too.
It seems like all system files are deleted because of this ROM installation.
And now I cant start my phone.
What can I do?
Please help!
Thanks.
