Hey all:
While I consider myself quite technologically inclined, it appears that what I think and what reality is are quite different things. Thus, I look for advice from this wonderfully adept community (I've surfed around quite a bit, but I've never had to ask anything).
Here are my phone's specs:
Model: i9020A
Carrier: Koodo
The short story:
because, currently, there's only ICS for the GSM version of the phone, I thought I'd try flashing the GSM version of ICS onto my phone, then load the radio settings for my phone type so that it would work. It didn't. I was able to load ICS, and it worked great; the radio settings for the i9020A, however, didn't load up. As a result, I tried to reload the stock 2.3.6 onto the phone, and I seemed to have failed miserably.
I'm now at the following point:
Normal boot: only loads to the Google screen (with the padlock)
Fastboot Mode: here's the information.
Product Name - HERRING
HW Version - REV 16
Bootloader Version: I9020XXKL1
Baseband Version: I9020XXKI1
Carrier Info: ATT
Serial Number: 3935CEB394BE00EC
Lock State: Unlocked
When I select "Recovery," it briefly goes to the Google screen (with the unlocked padlock at the bottom), then loads into ClockworkMod Recovery v3.0.0.0
Here are the below options:
- reboot system now
- apply update from sdcard
- wipe data/factory reset
- wipe cache partition
- install zip from sd card
- backup and restore
- mounts and storage
- advanced
- GO BACK
Below these options is the following information:
ClockworkMod Recovery v3.0.0.0
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/last_log
E: Can't open /cache/recovery/last_log
E: Can't find misc
E: failed to find "cache" partition to mount at "/cache"
Essentially, what I am asking is if there is anyway to load the original 2.3.6 for the i9020A on here. If I'm able, then I'll patiently wait for the ICS OTA.
Any help that anyone can provide would be immensely appreciated. If there's any other information I can provide, such as pictures, I'd be more than happy to provide that.
Thanks so much.

Do you have a backup that you can restore? If not, grab the 2.3.6 update from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1063664 and try a flesh install.
You should also flash a new radio, I didn't have any luck with the KI1 radio on my i9020a.
Not saying this will help at all but have you tried the latest version of clockwork mod your version seems to be very old. Try this one and see if it helps Clockwork 5.0.2.3
Thanks a ton for this. I'm a bit of a noob with this, so any other information, i.e., how to flash it properly, would be super helpful.
Again, thanks a bunch for the reply!

Download this LINK put it on your internal sd card boot up into recovery then do a full wipe in clockwork mod and flash the ROM it contains recovery, radio and bootloader. So you will be back to stock and can follow one of the guides on here to get back onto which every rom you choose.
Will do.
Thanks again!

What do you mean "no luck"? What error did you get? Did you get the right version?
If you're on a i9020A you should be using this one - http://goo.gl/nN0Zp (Official, signed, can flash with ClockworkMod or stock recovery. Contains recovery, radio and bootloader.)

Could be wrong but that looks like your partition tables got messed up at some point.
EDIT you could also try looking on here might be helpful LINK
EDIT X2 Other people have screwed up their partition tables and have fixed it using this guide LINK
tehgeekguy is right, if your model number is I9020A then it should work using the rom he linked, did you install Clockwork 5.0.2.3 before trying to install the stock 2.3.6 rom, if not then please try.
Yeah, that's the one I tried, but I received the same error message as before:

I'm going to try it one more time to see if I can't get it working. I have a feeling my partitions may have been messed up . . .

The partitions is probably right, have you tried with the stock recovery instead of clockwork, worth a try.

So, I went to the page and downloaded the following file:
"Option for no confirmation at all. Just flash in recovery.
signed-noconfirm.zip"
I put this onto the sd card, then attempted to install. This is what I received:
"-- Installing: /sdcard/signed-noconfirm.zip
E: Can't find misc
Finding update package . . .
Opening update package . . .
Installing update . . .
Installing .no_confirm
use at your own risk!!
reboot recovery and enjoy!
Install from sdcard complete"
Thus, it seemed to work pretty well. I thus rebooted recovery, but ClockworkMod is still showing that it's version V3.0.0.0.
Should I be flashing one of the other options on that page? If so, which one? And would you, by chance, have a detailed explanation as to how to go about doing that?
Thanks so much. I'm starting to feel like I won't be getting anywhere . . . . The responses have been awesome, though, everyone. I really appreciate it.
You have been trying to install a switch to turn off confirmations, to get Clockwork 5.0.2.3 installed you will need to use the same method as when you installed Clockwork 3.0.0.0 but use this image > 5023-cyan.img.

Okay, so I flashed Clockwork 5.0.2.3, then I flashed the correct i9020A package. It worked beautifully.
Thanks a ton, everyone, for all your help. This is great!
Clad it worked for you.

I have some weird stuff going on and I was wondering if maybe someone could tell me what it means. My phone is running fine, in fact better than ever. But when I reboot into recovery mode, and before I apply update.zip and I am in stock recovery (blue), I get the follow message below all of the recovery options (error message is in red):

Then, when I do a backup through CWM, everything goes through fine and then I get this message:

E: Can't open CACHE:recovery/log
When I go into CWM recovery, I do see a backup labeled with the correct date and everything, so I guess it is backing up correctly? Not quite sure what to make of it.
Ignore it.

I've had this happen and it happens when you have lagfix enabled and try to revert/odin back to a stock kernel (non voodoo) you'll need to follow the manual disabling procedure (of lagfix) by injecting an empty file named "disable lagfix" into the clockwork folder on your SD card then reboot. After that you should be clear to do a clean flash to get everything working properly. If you tried restoring right now it would probably give you an MD5 mismatch, and trying to flash from recovery would probably give you dev/block errors and it would cancel installation until you get your file system back in order.

Lol yea, I tried that too when I buggered mine up, but since I couldn't flash anything in recovery I decided to find out how to fix it
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.
Sent from my Nexus S using xda premium
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: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.

Hello,
I need a PIT file for the Galaxy Tab Plus 7.0 US WIFI P6210 model. I'm soft bricked and reflash of the PDA file with Odin has not corrected my boot lockup. I've found and downloaded a copy of a PIT file for the P6200, but I'm afraid to load it in the event I screw the unit up worse (arguably, what could be worse than a tablet that won't run).
Any assistance would be appreciated.
Right after flashing the ODIN package, try booting into the "stock recovery" before actually booting your tab up. Clear cache and data, then try rebooting your tablet again.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium
Unless you misused a PIT when flashing before, you shouldn't have a need for a PIT to fix.
OK, I tried reflashing the Odin package (three files boot, CSC and PDA) using Odin 1.8.5 It appears to run to completion. Then when rebooting I get E: failed to mount /cache (No suchfile or directory)
E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/command

Then I select reboot system now
Then I get about 5-6 more red "can't mount", failed to mount" messages that go by too fast to copy, it reboots and gets to the Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus screen and it just freezes at this point.
In a different post I stated that how the Tab became locked up was I started getting SOD Screen of Death spontaneous reboots and heated battery symptoms, sometimes on the charger, sometimes not. I could always reboot it and it would then act normally for a while (1-2 days), then start with the reboots and warm battery again. About a week ago, I woke up and found the Tab (on the charger), stuck on the Galaxy Tab startup screen. Repeated reboots kept getting back to a lockup on the startup screen. Since then, I did some reading, found a copy of Odin and loaded two different PDA files, both for the P6210 supposedly, they each mounted successfully per Odin and then kept getting similar error messages like the above and a lockup on startup at the end. After trying loading the PDA files by themselves, I then tried loading the CSC and bootloader files to an Odin run with the PDA file that came in the zip file with the CSC and bootloader files. I don't know much about Android but know a little about programming, windows and DOS. It seems like I am either missing a bunch of files or the directory structure is missing a bunch of folders, which is why I could only see that the PIT file with a repartition may be the only thing to get me out of this (assuming the repartition also loads a directory structure onto the Tab - don't know if this is the case or not). The other possibility I suppose is that there may be an electronic problem with the unit, but usually you get a complete failure and not a reboot lockup.
Just so I'm clear on the above post, as soon as I flashed the package, I unplugged the Tab from the PC and held power + sound up, got into stock recovery and cleared cache and then cleared data. The error messages above were what I got doing these things.
Same Problem
Did you ever get it out of the boot loop?
I did the same as you but to no effect - anyone know if samsung will replace these "defective" units? Clearly there is something very wrong given the thousands of hits that have the same problem.

i got same problem with my p6200 tab 3 month ago,
i solved with pit file
u should find pit file to solve this problem
as i saw you can get the .pit file by opening and extracting the firmware(md5 file) with winrar.
just my 2 cents
Where is the PIT file?

Got a PIT - flashed - now can't mount system
Otherwise the cache is now there and I get an updating message right after reboot - tried the clear cache and reset - which works (no failure notices).
But...get a failed to mount /system (invalid argument) for both updating app and applying multi-CSC now and of course still in the logo boot loop.
Ideas?
Thanks!

I'm on the same situation. After flashing 4.0.4, wifi became unstable. Someone said that I should flash a pit file, I did and now I'm bricked. Did you solved, or found a working pit file for the P6210? Thanks in advance.
I'm also having troubles with wifi on ICS (but not on HC, strange)... Unfortunately I own a P6200 and my .pit file won't help you.
Submicron, do NOT use a P6200 pit file, it will render you tab unusable, as I've read they have different partition layouts.
And I know it already is unusable, but anyways... ;P
I bet someone will pop here with a PIT file for P6210 soon enough, so hang in there :good:

Hi, I was trying to install an ICS ROM on my Nexus S i9020a last night, and I must have messed something up. The ROM installed but it just hung on the google logo. So I went back into recovery (CWM 3.0.0.5) to restore my nandroid backup but I got:
E:format_volume: no MTD partition "boot"
Error while formatting BOOT : !
E:Failed to find "cache" partition to mount at " /cache"
E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/last_log
E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/last_log
E:Can't find misc
E:failed to find "cache" partiton to mount at " /cache"
I don't know much about what these things, but I imagine the seemingly missing cache is the problem. I cannot mount or format the cache either. I get similar errors. Flashing roms seems to 'work', but I still get the bootloop. Flashing img's does not work. "Installation aborted".
I have no idea what I can do to reverse this. At this point, I want to restore to stock. I hope I haven't done permanent damage. Can anyone please help me with this?
First try to upgrade to the latesy cwm. It had very much bugs fixed
Sent from my Nexus S using xda premium
Computer doesn't seem to recognize the phone in fastboot mode, can you link me to the a newer CWM zip so I can flash it in recovery?
I am Using PhilZ CWM 6.49.2. I cant even Flash A Custom ROM Because of this problem it would just show me these error messages
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
and say "Installation Aborted" and restart phone.
When i wipe data/factory reset, format cache it would just show me these errors.
I have also tried Flashing back to the Stock ROM via odin and repeated all of the procedures: 1.Framaroot(To ROOT) 2:CWM(Flash via odin)
Still no success it just keeps giving me these stupid errors when i try flashing a custom ROM,SO BASICALLY I CANT FLASH A CUSTOM ROM
Please Find a FIX.
THANKS.:good:

just exactly the same problem here brother...
solution
all you need to do apparently is to go to samMobile,find your device,your country,download the rom,extract it,and flash it with odin.i think it need it to be the same rom as the one installed but not sure about it.it worked perfectly for me,it fixed my recovery back to its stock one without the errors.message me if you still have a problem.
Use TWRP Recovery,And as previously someone said,Try to download Stock Rom file again from Sammobile,After that may h it'll work!
