Hey guys,
I got a weird issue going on. So my mistake was giving my cousin my old captivate and putting a new rom on it. He wanted to flash the new ICS roms and completely screwed up the rom. Here are my issues:
1. I'm stuck on a bootloop
2. I can still manage to get into recovery and this is what I get:
E: Failed to open/etc/recover.fstab (no such file or directory)
E:unknown volume for path [catche/recovery/command]
E;Can't mount /cache/recovery/command
E:unknown volume for path [/cache/recovery/log]
E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/log
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/log
E:unknown volume for path [/cache/recovery/last_log]
E:can't mount /cache/recover/last_log
E:can't open /cache/recovery/last_log
E:unknown volume for path [/cache/recovery/command]
3. It basically seems that there is no drive or cache available.
4. From recovery, I can get into download mode. So I had hope that I can just one click.
5. However, even though I plug it in and it's recognized in odin/one click, nothing works.
So I'm not sure what to do? Any thoughts guys?
What happens when you try to flash with Odin or Heimdall?
Well before Odin and the one clicks could recognize the download mode, but once I start it, it just stays stuck that way.
Now I can't even get it to even be recognized by the programs in download mode

Maybe you already have but have you gone through all of the connection troubleshooting steps here?

I haven't tried all of those steps per se, so I'll try that tomorrow after class.
Right now my major issue is getting my computer to recognize the download mode of my phone. It won't even do that. I can still get into download mode from my captivate, but unfortunately the connection isn't even being made. I tried reinstalling the USB drivers, and nothing changes.
There's a section in there specifically for connection issues. Hopefully it will help.

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

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]
E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/log
E: Can't open/cache/recovery/log
E: unknown volume for path [/cache/recovery/last_log]

E: unknown volume for path [/cache/recovery/command]
E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/command
E: Can't open/cache/recovery/command
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.

you are awesome, I will try it thanks
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:
Code:
E: unknown volume for path [/cache/recovery/log]

E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/command
E: Can't open/cache/recovery/command
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?

Hi guys,
Had a thread open on modaco for this issue but had no joy. I'm having exactly the same issues as the thread starter in the link below, you guys have helped me before and wondered if you had any suggestions on a way forward?
http://www.modaco.com/topic/358071-phone-near-bricked-help-needed/
Basically I've had ics updated on the phone with the boot loader unlocked and of course the phone rooted. The update went through fine and I've been using the phone for a couple of days until it crashed and stuck on the splash screen since then it will only go into recovery mode with 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
Have tried wiping cache, formatting cache and numerous other things as per the thread on modaco but no joy. I've literally had the phone a few days and think it's unlikely to be a hardware fault unless it's exactly the same as the OP had.
Willing to try anything!
Thanks
I went into my recovery earlier and it came up with this:
E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/command
E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/log
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/command
E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/last_log
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/last_log
I tried rebooting my recovery and the same thing happened, only now it wont mount the sdcard.
I've tried to connect it to my computer to flash the factory images but for some reason my drivers aren't working, I tried to update them but it cant locate them even though they have been manually selected.
I cant mount it with the mount section in CWM and it wont let me factory reset (the recovery freezes).
The phone now wont boot (using carbon rom, but it has been working perfectly since I last updated it)
thanks for any help
Use this to get your drivers working: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2588979
Then flash the factory images.

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
