Hey, i almost bricked my device, after a radio flash i had these lines in recovery
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
Now, i restored a nandroid backup and the phone switched on !! Checked the radio, it was the new one. I wanna know where i can download ADB from, and how i can get a dumb like the guy gets in this thread's step 8 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1150917
This is so i can check my phone
I had the same errors. The problem was overheating (I had it charging while before) So I would reccomend to frst fully charge, then let it cool down for a 10 minutes or so, and then S-OFF/root/flash ROM.

Shouldn't be much of a problem to find what you need. The XDA-forum also has some very usefull guides regarding the subject

Hi there,
I used Cyanogenmod 1.1 beta for a while and while I was pretty happy about it, it did have some issues i wasn't very fond of. So I decided to to perform a nandroid restore of my stock rom and succeeded. My stock rom kept crashing when trying to use internet (synchronising, browsing etc). While messing a little with the settings (like no account syncing etc) my phone crashed and it went into an infinite bootloop. I went into recovery, did the neccesary wipes and performed a nandroid recovery to my Cyanogenmod again. It errored while doing so (can't remember exactly what the line was, but was something like unable to format...something).
Now when I boot into recovery it displays the following information:
E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/command
E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/log
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/
E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/last_log
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/last_log
Any idea's? I know there is a lot to find about this on the internet and this forum but they're all guides from other devices and don't know if it would be wise to follow them
Help would be appreciated!

What happens when you attempt to enter RECOVERY and format CACHE?
Did you at any point in this boot loop process pull the battery?

I did not pull the battery out except for the infinite bootloop I mentioned earlier.

Sorry, I'm afraid that I must be the bearer of bad news ....I believe that by pulling out the battery you have ruined the eMMC chip in the device, this appears to be a flaw or defect with a selection of recent HTC devices.
I believe that the only thing you can do is to return the device for warranty or to attempt to get the chip replaced.
Here are a selection of similar threads, within this forum which also cover this problem and I believe that you should be able to find others......

Thanks for your reply!
Too bad there is nothing to do about it. I'll just send it in for repair then.
having the same problem.. so should i try to wipe the cache and see what happens?
I fixed that by going into recovery and wiping the cache. It still says that it is unable to mount but re-flashing the ROM fixed all that.
I've tried that quite a few times, but it always failed to flash the rom. Did you get errors when flashing the rom?
What errors do you get when you're installing the ROM?
If you are still able to go into recovery then....
Do you have EXT4 recovery installed?
If not 1) Download this FILE which is EXT4 recovery 2) then copy it onto your SD card 3) enter recovery and flash the EXT4 ZIP file 4) Reboot Recovery
Then look at what format the existing CACHE partition is in?
OK i seem to be the next one with this Problem.
But for now it isn't a real problem, the following happended:
Used Hydrogen for some weeks, but wanted to try the new Virtuous Unity. So i did a backup of my apps with titanium, booted into recovery, flashed the Virtuous Rom, Install was complete and after that it says the known E: cant't mount ... and so on.
After that i pressed restart now in ext4 recovery and the Rom booted as it should. I restored my apps, everything is ok. But now i'm a little scared what will happen next
So is this the normal "way" it goes, or did i just have luck? I'm thinking about going back to s-on and stock, if this is possible.
Btw i didn't pull out the battery ever, cause i knew this could brick my ds, and i never had a bootloop or something like that.
Hope someone can give me some tips.
Cheers

The good news here is that you recovered from this problem and also that you didn't pull battery, so we can rule that out as being the cause in your case.
Between the Installation/flashing of the second ROM did you perform the necessary WIPES?
You may well have done, but, just in case, I'd always recommend that you take a full Nandroid backup of an existing system ROM before moving and flashing another (just to have a fall back position in case)?
@ EbiEre
I got scared after reading those lines too. Nothing to worry about. Just keep flashing roms as usual . Just a cache error. If you didnt pull out the battery, and if the rom booted, then everything is ok.
Yeah but I'm scared because I think it could brick "really".
I don't think it is sure that it only happen if i pull out the battery isn't it?
For now I'm back at the stock tom, it's OK but to be honest I love to root my phone and flash rims, and so maybe I will root again
Thx for your answers

Can only echo the comments of @.sh4d0w.
We all take a minor risk of bricking our devices with the majority of commands and flashes that we do.....but we still do them because that's half the fun...
Did you ever examine the format types ie EXT3/EXT4 of each partition using the EXT4 recovery?
As I cannot post in the thread most probably relevant to this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1590523, I will post here. After running this cleaner, I now receive the following error in CWM:
E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/command
E:Cant 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
I had not had this issue before. I am still able to operate CWM with no issues, besides these messages spamming my screen. If anyone can be of assistance?
I am running ICS AOKP 31, with Harsh 1104 kernel. I have flashed 3 different recoveries, 5.0.2.0, 5.0.2.8, and 5.8.1.3. On the 5.8.1.3, because I cannot post in that thread either, I must say it works very well, no issues to report, besides the error above.

I got the this error too since just getting a new phone cause my previous phone I got off craigslist had a small crack in the corner of the screen so I nullified the phone then flashed the stock recovery back on the phone and told them my phone wasn't starting and ever since I got my new phone I get this message and never got it with my old phone.
So far... the only progress I've managed to make, and it seems to be temporary, is just formatting the /cache partition in CWM. It fixed it for a while, and by a while I mean like 5 minutes. It then returned. So far I haven't run into it again. I'll keep you posted on any progress I make.
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
ok heres my issue i want to mack a backup of my recovery but when i open boot loaded it shows i have CWM but it keeps telling me this
"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"
i have done some searching as to the problem but cant find much help. my phone is sgs3 by sprint SPH-L710, i have done the clockworkmod, and watching QBKing77's video tutorial on youtube. my sgs3 has been updated to 4.3 with KNOX i have never checked marked KNOX in my settings and it did have a check when i first found it... any help would be great. i just replaced this sgs3 4 days ago due to a bad rom install with no backup which "hard bricked" my previous sgs3... i cant afford the 150$ deductable again.. please and thank you in advance. thanks for your time..
P.S.
yes im a noob but i learn fast
