So I have read the other threads where people run into the issue of not being able to boot their phone back up but it isn't helping me with my G2X....
I am getting the error message of can't mount /cache/xxxxxxx every time I try and wipe my phone. I also am unable to flash any new ROMs or boot my phone into a normal state. Has anyone had this problem? can anyone help? I greatly appreciate it....
How did your phone get in this state? What did you do before this problem occurred?

I actually have no idea, I had just flashed an eagleblood ROM and it was working fine, I went to make a voice command and it froze, after 5 minutes i took the battery out and put it back in and tried to boot it up, that is where the problem began.

Have you tried reflashing CWM and wiping everything and trying a different ROM?

They don't stock them anymore, so if they don't have anymore in stock they say they give you the next best phone which in reality would be a Galaxy S2.
But they mean next best in terms of price, and since the Galaxy S 4G sells for the same price as the G2x used to sell for, that'll probably what you'll be getting if you return it and they don't have any G2x's left.
I can't find anything for our phones... I plugged my phone into the car charger and a screen came up stating I was about to install custom software. I hit the wrong button & next thing I know, I have a screen that says I need to use kies to boot back up....
I odin'd back to stock and went from there, but now my flash counter is tripped and my phone is still borky. I wanna try to exchange it, but don't want the counter to be an issue

You should have used the sammobile tar, it doesn't trip the counter and also installs the baseband as well. Anyways, I have read conflicting reports on the jig working to reset it on our skyrocke, but it sounds like your car charger is a jig

Yeah... sounds that way. I usually have my powerskin on and have no issues. Not so much without it I guess. I've seen a triangle away app, but it's not recomended for our processor I guess. I could always run it, and if it bricks, problem solved! lol!

I don't think it's the leak. I was having issues before. I came from a gb rom... I was and still am, getting random reboots and crazy fc's. I've wiped/formatted my memory and tried different roms & stock.... nothing. Figure if I don't brick it, I'm gonna throw it! lol!

I have already tried the triangle away app. Both versions only popped up as an error that said Magic header not found. I thought posting in Chainfire's thread about this and asking what it would take to get this working for us.

I kept getting the magic header not found error. This was on first night of the leak.
I'd love to hear more about this special jig that actually resets the skyrocket! Mine doesn't work... forces download, no counter reset.
So I'm trying to fix a phone for someone but I can not find a way. Basically the phone says the IMEI is all 0's and even if you put a sim in it has a O with a line through it instead of service bars but still shows the 4G icon. Also it has all this stuff written on the screen that I've attached pictures of. Going into the settings says all 0's for the IMEI. I've tried factory resets and using ODIN to flash stock but no luck, I've thought of just restoring the IMEI but not to sure that would solve it
Yeah it looks like you need to restore the IMEI. Worth a shot
EFS is wiped and needs to be reprogrammed. Did this happen randomly? You can take it to Verizon and they can fix it as long as the device isn't blacklisted.

Can you get the phone to download mode? If yes you can get the phone restored to original settings. Based on this picture your kernel might be messed up. It is just a guess.

Anyways, Ever since I've upgraded to ICS, I've been having serious cell-related network connection problems on my tmobile iemi-unlocked atrix 2, mb865(NOT Wi-Fi connectivity problems.) My signal is constantly going from 5-1 bars (several times a minute) in places where I previously experienced a solid 5 bars with gingerbread and my (also unlocked, on tmobile) iPhone 2g. Also, my carrier logo is disappearing and reappearing many times a minute as well. (Even when I have 5 bars.) Sometimes , I just get a red triangle with a white cross inside of it where the bars should be.
Sometimes, these problems are temporarily fixed when I enter airplane mode for a few seconds, then exit it. But within 15 minutes of exiting, I begin experiencing the same problems. Other times, they aren't fixed through entering/exiting airplane mode , and I have to reboot the device.
My question is, will installing a rom perhaps fix these problems? Since my network was fine on gingerbread, it's obviously not a hardware problem. I'm rooted, of course (but before rooting I experienced these problems as well.)
I obtained the iemi through at&t and not a shady third party unlocking business, if that makes any difference.
Thanks a lot in advance!

Well it can't hurt to try a new rom.... wait it can haha but yes sometime even a factory restore can fix a lot of random issues. My buddy was running stock gingerbread on his phone and it had a messed up usb port. I then put CM7 on it and it worked magically so it is a possibility. I am currently running numa and it fixed my wifi issue where it would randomly turn off. But I think a good old factory restore could maybe fix it,
Try changing network selection from automatic to either 2g or 3g..it worked for me on my searet ota..

Alright! I guess I'll try the restore first. Do you think it'll wipe my unlock? And I have titanium backup, so after I restore I can just restore things from it?

I believe your unlock will be there still. I could be wrong though. And if you have a sdcard it will be unaffected by the factory restore and new ROMs. But its a good idea to back it up every blue moon. And yes you can get your apps and app data back with titanium backup. Make sure it stores to sdcard and the same with ROMs.

I guess. Does the warranty last for a year?
Also, I backed up to titanium, did a factory reset, and restored from titanium. I still have the same problem. Could I possibly freeze some apps (using Gemini app manager) that involve the sim card? Would that avail to anything?

Yes. At least in my country the warranty is for one year. But, if you bought it the phone with the two year contract i think, the warranty should last two years.
And the other thing, i have no idea man. Sorry. I never experienced that, and i don't know what happen there. But, my advice is that you must go to the warranty and try.

No! You will brick your phone. OTA ICS bootloader is not the same as leak #1. Try another FDR but do NOT restore from TB.

2)enter boot menu
3) install it from there? :0

Did you factory reset after reverting back to stock? I think there was some issues (gremlins) that were reported when reverting and factory resetting seemed to fix any issues. It's worth a shot if it happens again.
