[Q] Defy/Cyanogen cache problem - General Questions and Answers

Hi,
I've installed Cyanogenmod 7 on my Motorola defy and it's working fine except one problem: I cannot download applications from the marketplace. The download starts but immediately disappears.
I'm thinking this is a cache problem? Clearing the cache for marketplace, downloads etc. didn't work. Neither did wiping the cache / dalvik cache in cw recovery.
When I open custom recovery in Clockwork I do see these lines:
E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/command
E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/log
E: Can't open /cache/recovery/log
E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/last_log
E: Can't open /cache/recovery/clast_log
Could this be an indication of the problem? I'm pretty new at all this so help is appreciated

with the info you have given...based on that... if it were me i would reflash the rom and gapps and then try again. if it cannot flash again then its a sdcard issue. swap out put a working card in and confirm. just my thoughts.
did you have a working recovery before?

I've just tried reflashing the rom & gapps, but the problem is still here. Everything is working fine and I have all the gapps installed but when I want to download an app from the marketplace it doesn't work.
I don't think the sd card has anything to do with it? It used to work just fine on the stock Motoblur rom.

go into recovery, wipe data/factory reset, flash cm7, flash gapps(google apps add on), reboot. if that still leads you to the same place, then redownload the rom, put it on your sd card, and try again.

You get this error because you are using i9023 version of Nexus S and you installed the stock version of Clockworkmod Recovery
You should install the Clockworkmod Custom Recovery from the Development Forums for the i9023.

The getting stuck on /.android_secure is a byproduct of our rom manager/cwm issues. The only way to fix that ostensibly to odin back to stock/stock+root and redo the recovery. Its all in my flashing guide.

error after flashing from Odin

I tried to flash a latest firmware(5800XWJPI and with the apollo_0531.ops) with odin 4.252 after hard reseting, everything was ok but after the rebooting the phone stuck on "--delete App data... delete files, please wait"
how do I get to hard reset again somehow from any recovery? The phone cannot boot. I tried to flash another rom but the problem is the same.

Hold vol up, vol down, home and power button to go into recovery.
it shows me the g3mod kernel non-oc because I have flashed it before just to go to recovery to enter cmd but it was futile...
now stucks on that logo
update: I suceeded in booting into recovery mode which was cwm. I flashed afterwards CyanogenMod 7.2.0-RC3 (Alpha8.2) and the gapps after having wiped everthing but the phone still stucks this time on the gt-5800i (with the black backround) and not the regular cm7 blue logo. So it does not boot again.
any ideas?

^By full rom.tar, I think he meant was to flash any other ROM via Odin (preferably a Stock one!)
ok I flashed zerofill and after that G3MOD-2.5-OC-zImage and then I tried to enter recovery. From there I see many errors like
Code:
E: unknown volume for path [/cache/recovery/log]

and maybe more but I cant see them because of the screen
I wiped all and then flashed from zip CyanogenMod 7.2.0-RC3 Alpha8.2 and the Gapps-06-07-12-signed and everything went fine until I reboot. When I reboot, rom is behaving like it does wipe all and everything is from the begining. Plus I see available internal memory 0mb!!! And I cant install anything. Have I combined something wrong? I have 2 gb sd card. I am afraid to reboot cuz I will have to do and setup everything from the start!
lol....do: fire up odin....now...find a fullrom.tar(e.g. Kyrillos rom 9.x...or my Hercolubus rom)...boot in download mode....flash it....when in cwm...wipe data....now reboot.....if u wanna cm7.2 based....i made a full rom for odin flash & i think kyrillos13 did aswell.....

thanks for reply but will this solve the 0 available internal memory?
Search '0kb internal memory'. You will find a thread with a tar file that will fix the issue.

the only closest result was this post here and after I have downloaded a rom with the proper file inside I can't delete all the other files so I keep only the datafs (I use winrar). Unfortunately I couldn't find a thread with the file attached.

the 0 internal memory is gone and now says total193, available 179 but still displays error on instaling an apk with the message insufficient internal space. Another thing. To sd card says total space 0.89gb, availabe 0.89gb! (I partitioned 1gb through cwm). These messages on cwm still remain:

and maybe more but I cant see them because of the screen
is this a problem for the phone's functionality? How do I repair it? Does it have to do something with the sd?
At the cyanogen's application settings, the options "use internal storage" cannot be ticked (is grey). any clues?

[Q] HELP! unable to mount external Storage TWRP

I recently rooted my HTC one X (rogers)
I had AOKP Jelly Bean 1.4 installed with the gapps.
However I was have issues with my phone randomly restarting.
So I went ahead and made a Titanium backup of my phone, re-downloaded the latest AOKP build with Gapps.
booted back into TWRP 2.3.0.0 and Wiped the following
Cache
Dalvik Cache
System
Then I did the idiotic thing and wiped External Storage and System. However both failed.
When I tried to do a factory reset, it would fail stating :
E: unable to mount /sdcard
E: unable to mount storage
Im trying to install the AOKP rom and gapps but cant because I get the error
E: unable to mount /sdcard
E: unable to mount storage
I'm freaking out.
I don't know what to do.
any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi XsMagical... I saw in the nocturnal pages that you had helped someone out with the same problem with an HTC One S. I've managed to do the same thing and corrupted my storage. Is there any help you could offer?
Thanks for your time,
UPDATE:
I got it sorted... managed to flash the stock recovery, clear partition, and then factory reset... then it was business back to normal..
thanks though!

Nexus 5 cache and system flashing problem

Hello people of XDA developers,
One fine day, my nexus 5 started hanging up while booting. After the google Logo, the Marshmallow animation would show up and then it would hang and power off. I have no problem in doing a factory reset/wipe of my phone. But the only thing i want to save is my contacts. I have tried erasing and re-flashing system, cache, boot and boot-loader. Using ADB, flashing the cache always fails........ However, i have not touched userdata as i think it would affect the contacts too. I have even tried using different custom recoveries such as CWM, TWRP and even Philz Touch to use adb to pull my SD card files to my PC. Even flashing the system is not working now.... (atleast that's what my results were) .
Philz touch error messages....
E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/log
E: Can't open /cache/recovery/log
E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/last_log
E: Can't open /cache/recovery/last_log
E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/last_install
E: Can't open /cache/recovery/last_install
Driven to the point of desperation now........ Thanx a lot in advance... BTW, i'm a complete noob, so plz bear with me and my questions

Thank you for using XDA Assist. To get you the best possible help for your issue, I'm going to move this thread to your device's Q&A forum. Good luck!
Did you check your Google or gmail account to see if the contacts have been synced?
