[Q] HTC Incredible S bricked? (or almost bricked) - General Questions and Answers

so I turned s-off using the revolutionary tool and everything worked fine, installed clockwork mod and booted back into my phone. Installed rom manager and made a backup which updated clockworkmod to 5.0.2.0. after that everything worked fine I installed CM7 but when i was installing some apps the phone crashed and got stuck in a reboot loop.
I booted back to recovery but when I enter it is giving the following errors:
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/last_log
trying to format or flash an image gives me error formatting cache/data
tried to re-flash CWM through adb just hangs up writing recovery
tried RUU with the exe from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1033922 also hangs
tried installing CWM with AndroidFlasher doesn't work (also hangs)
i have read this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1039504 which seems the same issue as mine. someone mentioned using the following shell command:
mke2fs /dev/block/mmcblk0p27
reboot recovery
the thread is on G2 and DZ, would that work with the incredible s?
is there anything else i can try?

Need help [g2x]

I installed cyanogenmod.. didnt like how it handled sdcard and internal memory.
Then I tried doing some stupid fixes that I found on these forums..(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=14879012&postcount=48)
They didn't work so I decided to try to flash the leaked gingerbread rom.
Now my phone is stuck starting in clockworkmod recovery and I can't do anything because I'm getting these stupid errors:
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
And no, I can't wipe, that's the first thing I tried.
Can't restore to stock. It won't let me format /cache, /system, and /data
Tried reinstalling clockworkmod recovery, that didn't work.
Someone suggested flashing a rom with nvflash, but I don't know how to do that.
Any help would be super appreciated. Thanks

[Q] [SOLVED] Galaxy Apollo (i5801) Failed Flash/Stuck at first screen

SOLVED
I've got a Samsung Galaxy Apollo.
During the Odin flash process it got stuck at ClockworkMod Recovery screen. Potentially stupidly, I rebooted the phone.
Now I'm stuck at the GT-I5801 Samsung screen, with occasional tunes (rising notes, tune cuts out at various points).
I can't seem to use the hardware buttons to get back into download mode or into clockwork recovery, I got into download mode last time by using adb reboot download.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks so much.
OK, So I Managed to persuade the phone to reflash, now I'm stuck once again in ClockworkMod Recovery, Odin is still running its timer.
Clockwork says:
ClockworkMod Recovery v2.5.1.8MZ

E:Can't open CACHE:recovery/log

Use the option reboot system now
Best would be to flash back to a stock rom, probably from your region
If it still wont boot, try wiping data in recovery

Reflash your phone again with Stock ROM without a boot-loader try it 2 -3 times and let us know. (use XXJPS ).
check this thread --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1063940
If issue still remains --> goto the Samsung service station ASAP.
Solved.
Did a factory reset immediately after a flash in clockwork mod, phone booted successfully.
It is happenning if you had filesystem ext. So next time before flashing conversation your file system back

[Q] Urgent - Boot loop and unable to restore to stock.

Alright guys, I've got a question. I have my brothers nexus s that has had CM9 A11 on it and we decided to move to the latest CM9. Long story short, I am no longer able to boot the phone up, but can only access CWM Recovery and Bootloader/Fastboot mode. Trying to boot results in a bootloop. I need help getting this thing back to stock however I can. I've tried to flash recovery.img via fastboot but cannot get my computer to recognize the phone in order to do what I need. He would like his phone back ASAP and I hate to tell him its bricked for a few days. Thanks!
Download full OTA ROM from the link in my signature. Boot into CWM, mount USB storage, and transfer the file to SD card. Flash it. Done.
Just make sure you download the correct ROM for your phone model.

Video on that page will show you how to install drivers on a windows-based machine to recognise the phone for fastboot, and provide files to do so.
Also, can't you go into CWM --> mounts and storage --> mount usb storage (while plugged into the computer) then copy over any files you need, then flash through recovery.
I forgot to mention that I am getting this when trying to format cache:
E:Can't find misc
E:failed to find "cache" partition to mount at "/cache"
E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/command
E:Can't find misc
E:failed to find "cache" partition to mount at "/cache"
E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/log
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/log
E:failed to find "cache" partition to mount at "/cache"
E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/latest_log
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/latest_log
E:Can't find misc
E:failed to find "cache" partition to mount at "/cache"
I tried to install the OTA update like you said but got the following:
assert failed: write_raw_image("/tmp/boot.img".
"boot")
E:Error in /sdcard/(OTA file name here)
(status 7)
Installation aborted.
Maybe the internal SD card is bad? Any thoughts?
When you get the drivers installed, download the latest 5.0.2.0 CWM from here.
Alright, so I got fastboot to recognize the phone, but am having another problem. It gave me an error when I gave the command to flash the new CWM. I tried to install pdanet for the drivers, and the phone says at the bottom "FASTBOOT STATUS - FAILInvalid Command". I really think something has been corrupted, any ideas on how to fix it/restore it? Thanks for all the help guys.
Fastboot status is not a command.
Fastboot devices is the command you use to test if it sees the device . The serial number will show.
uh oh sounds like someone flashed brickROM V1

[Completed] Odd problems trying to root HTC One (M7)

So, I have a Sprint HTC One (M7) that I tried to root following this guide:
http://www.xda-developers.com/how-to-root-the-htc-one-m7-and-install-recovery-xda-developer-tv/
Custom Recovery was flashed successfully (I tried both TWRP 2.5 and CWM 6.0.4.6), and I immediately got the following errors:
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/last_log
E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/last_install
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/last_install
I can't access /cache, in short. So, I tried to find my SD card, but my phone doesn't have a slot for one, and I couldn't figure out how to write to the virtual one inside the phone, so I passed SuperSU-v2.46.zip through sideload, and it failed when it couldn't access cache. I was then rather foolish, and tried to just flash a ROM from Android Revolution HD, found on this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2265618 (I used this particular ROM:Android_Revolution_HD-One_92.0_4a9d05.zip).
Again, I passed it using sideload because I don't have an SD card. The install formatted my partitions, then at 30% (when it began to copy files), it failed. Thus, I was left with an empty phone, but an unlocked bootloader. I tried a few more things, to no avail.
I think if I could figure out how to put something in the virtual SD inside, that might get me there, since I'm guessing that it's formatting over the location of the installer/image. Also, I found that if I use the "Wipe /cache" from CWM, I don't get those errors, but then I can't reboot into the recovery again, so I'm guessing that it's saving it in the /cache partition. I use the command "fastboot flash recovery CWM_image.img" to put my recovery in there.
Anyway, any ideas or help would be nice. I know enough to be dangerous, but clearly not enough to get myself out of this mess. Any help would be appreciated.
Hi there
You'd be best served asking for help from the experts who own your device, here

I use the command "fastboot flash recovery CWM_image.img" to put my recovery in there, which may be a part of the problem.
Anyway, any ideas or help would be nice. I know enough to be dangerous, but clearly not enough to get myself out of this mess. Any help would be appreciated, and at this point, it would just be nice to have any OS on my phone. All HTC recovery software fails because they require a locked bootloader, but my computer won't detect a phone with no OS and a locked bootloader...
