so i started his in another forum but didnt get much help, so i figured id give you guys a shot before i seek other resolutions....heres that post...http://www.droidforums.net/forum/inc...ing.html...and here pretty much what ive done or found out that may provide help or clues...

so i rooted my inc a few weeks back and wasnt really having to many problems. I was running the newest cm7 nightly (22) and the only thing lacking for me was more space on my sdhc card. I was using a 2gb card and was approaching capacity when i remembered i had an 8gb upstairs, got the 8gb one, formatted it and copied all the files from the 2gb card first to my computer, and then to the 8gb card. Of course before thinking about it I also formatted that 2gb card and put the files from the 8gb card onto it, so basically just swapped files...
Now, for whatever reason, the rom wont load and the back ups i put on the computer are apparantly all corrupted since they wont load and clockwork wont recognize them. Ive all but discarded the 8gb now and am just trying to get the 2gb back up and running so i have a phone! ive formatted and cleared just about everything i could think of or find, and now every time i go to reload the cm7 nightly 22 rom it goes to the skateboard guy and then loops after 5-10 seconds... I dont know what im doing wrong as in the past all i ever needed to do was format everything and load the rom and it would work, now im just stuck... i appreciate any help, thanks guys

Ive tried a few of the different nightlies...ive never had this prob before, i think part of my prob maybe would be just back and forth between phone macbook and pc? when i originally back it up i did so via usb through my macbook, to a removable hard drive hooked up to the pc...i feel like something along the lines there screwed up the backup files, everytime i would try to restore through the macbook it wouldnt read the backups...earlier i tried to restore from my pc, and it recognized most of them, but can't and wont load the data, i believe that was also a common theme throughout my day... another thing i noticed is when i try to wipe the delvik cache it says it cant, something along the line of e:can't mount /dev/block/mmcb1k0p1(file exists), so somewhere along the lines i may or may not have deleted some important files and obviously ****ed something up along the way....thanks again for any looks......

e tried using both cards, and formatting just about anything that could be formatted... nothing i hadnt done before, but for some reason it just wont work for me... i think the info about the delvik cache not working, and the phone never mounting the data, even though i have the img file, are my two biggest clues, just everything ive tried to do has failed....
side note, another thing i treid earlier was a froyo 2.2 ruu to take it back a step, but when it said to connect to the computer it wouldnt recognize the phone through recovery, with it mounted as usb drive or not...
well, i know its alot to take it, but, thats been my day, i hope someone out there has seen this before and can offer some help.... im gonna go mess around with it some more, i ran out of time on the pc earlier, and that seemed to be the closest ive been to getting anywhere...

i have a clockwork mod backup from a few days ago(12/31), that ive used several times containing a boot.img, cache.img, data.img, datadata.img, nandroid.md5, recovery.img, system.img, but when i tried to use the restore feature through clockwork it go to the point where it was going to load data and said it couldnt mount it or load it, and skipped that and then continued on, said it was done so i restarted and it went into the bootscreen loop, of about 5 seconds of skateboarder dude then just keeps repeating itself.
like i was saying earlier, i couldnt even get the phone to recognize that recovery when i loaded it onto the sd card from my macbook, but when i did it from the pc earlier it read the files, it just couldnt load the data...

I also have 2 super task manager backups, both .smbk files, one from the 31st, one from 2/2, i havent tried anything from the pc with those but like i said, im gonna go play around with the pc and try to load everything from there...is there anyway to mount a smbk file? or recover anything from that?

ALSO... i just found another clockwork recovery with the same files from 1/25, i think this was right after i rooted my phone, cause its in the folder with all the files i copied and pasted off my sd card before i rooted...will try that one too

so anyways, i got backup, they just havent worked...yet... hopefully my good old crap pc will have some magic left in it and will get the job done...

trying to restore again through clockwork with the backup files i have, have gotten:

checking md5 sums....
erasing boot before restore...
restoring boot image....
restoring system.....(went through all the files or whatever it was restoring)
restoring data...
E:can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1
(file exists)
error mounting /data/!
skipping format...
E:can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1
(file exists)
Can't mount /data/!


and stops there...

when i plug it in to my pc and mount as usb drive in clockwork, i get a G:, I:, and J: drive that show up, the I: is listed as my sd card with full memory and have full access to it... while the G: is listed as cd drive, and J: is removable disk, neither of which are reading as having any data when i go to properties...when i unmount the usb drive all three remain but are all listed as containing no data...

anyways..i know it was a long read, but that pretty much sums up my past 36 hours or so... thanks again for anyything useful you may provide...

Your phone powers on so it's not bricked. Hang on a few minutes and we'll see about getting you back on track.

[tweebee]

what version of clockworkmod do you have?

[pantrwrstl]

what version of clockworkmod do you have?

v 2.5.1.2

Let's try a few steps first...

1) Format one of your SD cards using this tutorial, Formatting SD card to FAT32.
2) Boot into recovery - wipe data, wipe cache, wipe Dalvik cache.

Then report back your status whether you're able to complete these successfully.

upon wipe of data:

---wiping data---
formatting DATA...
E:cant mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1
(file exists)
error mounting /data!
Skipping format...
farmatting datadata...
formatting cache...
formatting sdext...
no app2sd partition found. skipping format of /sd-ext
formatting sd-card:/.android_secure...
E:cant mount /dev/block/mmcblk1p1 (or /dev/block/mmcblk1)
(invalid argument)
error mounting /sdcard/.android_secure!
skipping format...
data wipe complete.

Upon wipe of cache partition:
---wiping cache---
formatting cache...
cache wipe complete.

Dalvik cache:

E: cant mount /dev/block/mcmblk 0p1
(file exists)


took everything down pretty much word for word...

Is this the 2gb or 8gb card? I was suspecting the SD card going bad. Can you repeat these same steps with the other card and see if you get the same errors?

[pantrwrstl]

sure, i was just using the 2gb card as its the only one thats been consistant...all these problems came up after i started using the 8gb, but ill give it another shot

[tweebee]

Yes, try the 8gb card... trying to narrow the problem to see if it is internal problem or external on the card. We've been seeing lots of different problems with CM flashes.

[pantrwrstl]

everything the same...
