/Cache partition cannot mount in CWM, makes flashing custom ROMs impossible: HELP!

Hi everyone, I've searched everywhere and can't find an answer to this question.
I received a Nexus S with the bootloader already unlocked. I used fastboot to push the CWM recovery to it, and with it used .zip file to flash superuser to gain root.
I can boot the phone and use it without issue, but when I go into the Recovery menu, several error messages regarding its inability to mount the /cache partition comes up.
This means that I cannot backup, restore or flash anything, and I don't want to mess around with partitions in GParted until I know what to do.
Any suggestions here? Your help is greatly appreciated!

If you go to the "mounts and storage" menu, are you able to "format cache"? Give that a try and reboot to recovery and see what happens.

Hey thanks for the response. Unfortunately since I can't mount the /cache partition I can't format it. That was one of the first things I tried.
Here's what it looks like when I try to format /cache:
Code:
Formatting /cache
E:format_volumeL no MTD partition "cache"
Error formatting /cache!

When you boot the phone normally, you're able to go to /cache with Root Explorer or another file explorer type app or not?
Maybe try an older version of Clockwork, or even stock recovery to see if you can format/mount/wipe from one of them.

have the same problem but i can't boot in android either it just hangs at google logo and if i boot in recovery i get this error (didn't flash any roms yet it happend after i flashed clockworkmode

i was able to boot andriod again with odin but clockwork still gives the cache error so i still can't flash anything else on it

I have the exact same problem and I cannot flash any roms in my Nexus S at all.

@awryter : Is your nexus S the new "i9023"? Because mine is the new Nexus S, it might be the reason why our phones are different from others. And have this error :S

mine is alsof the Europeanen model i9023

I just bought my Nexus S yesterday, and I seem to be having the same issue. I was able to unlock the bootloader just fine, as well as flashing ClockWorkMod, but as soon as I tried to install the netarchy kernel I noticed it wouldn't work.
I'm also using the I9023 if it makes any difference.

A new insight to this problem.
Most people, or even all the people, who have this problem. Are using the new i9023 Nexus S.
There are people who are using the i9023 Nexus S and have their phones rooted without problems. But their phones come with GRI40 instead of GRI54.
So I'm guessing it might be a problem of GRI54 i9023 Nexus S

I have GRI54, and have it rooted just fine. It's just the cache partition that's not working for me.

rooting worked also for me, it's just that cache problem asswell

Maybe i used the wrong term. Installing custom firmware didn't work due to cache problems. Rooting on stock works fine for me, though titanium backup said its not rooted at all, even when superuser permissions are granted. Maybe you guys wanna try titanium backup and see if you are having the same problems as me?

Looks like you're right. Titanium Root installed fine, asked me for super user permissions, which I gave it, and then it told me it didn't have root acces.

yep same over here

Yup, which brings me to why i used "Unable to root" as a term for our problems. Because we are not fully rooted in some sense yet.
But of cos the source of the problem comes from the cache which seemed to be 'non-existant' or 'non-writable'
And only GRI54 i9023 users have this problem.

after installing busy box , TI backup says it's rooted

I can confirm this.

Rebooting after installing busybox removes the root rights again. I'm not sure if this is intended, but from what I've seen so far, I'd guess not.

[Solved] E: Can't mount /dev/block/stl11 - Issues with Recovery

Since I personally have dealt with this issue quite a few times recently in my testing and flashing of new ROM's, I figured I'd post it up in case anyone else also had the issue.
Basically this error occurs when your phone has lagfix enabled (file system converted to EXT4) and something (possibly a flash, restore, or factory reset) brings files into the system in the stock RFS format. I.E. If you were to use odin to restore your phone to stock before converting things back to RFS.
Here is a screenshot of what this may look like if you manage to get into CWM, keep in mind sometimes you will actually revert to the stock(blue) recovery but you will see these same errors there if you're having this issue. If you bugger it up as bad as I did, you may not even get passed either recovery - you won't see the samsung logo at all as it'll go right to recovery.
NOTE: Disregard the first two errors, those errors are a result of using an older version of CWM and are normal for that version - you must have the "E: Can't mount..." errors for this to be the issue you're experiencing.

Here is the easiest fix. [This is for the Mesmerize.]
1. If you don't have a copy; download the full stock 2.2 odin package (NOT the one with custom recovery, you will need to flash that one AFTER flashing the full stock version as it won't fix the issue by itself) and of course, odin if you don't have it.
2. Load up the .pit in the .pit slot and the .tar.md5 in the PDA slot and get your phone into download mode. (I usually pull the battery, plug it in and hold volume down, there are other methods) Also check the "repartition" box.
3. Once odin see's your phone (look for a yellow COM: box) hit start and it will flash the stock files to your phone.
4. Put the battery back in and boot the phone up, we need to get the file structure converted back to RFS and you won't be able to do so through normal means.
5. Create an empty file (In windows just erase the extension) and name it "disable lagfix" no extension
6. Download QT ADB from here (or just use ADB), and move the file from your PC to the Voodoo folder on your SD card. Reboot your phone, you should hear the lagfix being disabled (robot chick voice)
7. After that is complete, all your stuff will be converted properly - but if you don't flash a clean full OS again (like you did in the first few steps) you will revert to these errors once lagfix is re-enabled. So, repeat steps 1-4, and don't forget if you want the custom recovery you can odin flash that package AFTER you use the full stock package, this is just to ensure all your files are clean and installed properly.
8. You now have a clean phone with everything in the proper format and working properly, so you know what to do from here .

help please
i flubbed...flashed before i read with odin...my phone is giving me the cant mount and i'm not sure i'm doing your directions right...tried several times and nothing...the disable lagfix and adb part has me comfused

I think when I wrote this I missed a step, right before step #5 you may need to flash a voodoo kernel so that lagfix can get disabled through the instructions in step 5 and on.

When I had this happen to me I just odined the stock 2.1 files and checked the repartition box. Fixed me right up. Going to stock 2.2 didn't fix my problem tho.My dumbass tried to odin ec10 stock with root and recovery from cm7 with ext4 (voodoo) enabled. I wanted to reset my phone you know...haha yeah thought I done ****ed myself

Oooh, flashing 2.1 fixed all my RFS/EXT4 issues! Thank you!

First of all let me thank you for sharing this.
I've got the same error that you listed minus the "missing bitmap" part.
My trouble started when trying to Odin back to EB11 froyo from phidelt82. (I had a copy saved) I believe I'm having this issue because I used a different version of odin than the one I usually use, and the Re-Partion box was checked. I didn't notice it was checked until it started.
Since then I haven't been able to get past the recovery.
I can however flash recoveries, kernels, and most roms,(via odin or zip) but I never even see the samsung logo on reboot. It just goes straight to the recovery.
I've created the file disable-lagfix and dropped it in voodoo folder.
At this point I can enable/disable voodoo all day long, but after disabling and flashing eb11 or ee25 stock immediately after I still get the Can't mount errors.
(they look a little different in stock recovery, but I'm pretty sure it's the same error)
I've done this several times both with Re-Partitiion checked and unchecked to no avail.
Right now the error I'm getting is "E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/command" log, log, last_log, last_log.
I've been working on this since Sunday and I'm nearly at my wits end.
If anyone out there can tell me if I'm just missing something or if there's another procedure. I would very greatly appreciate it.

Ok, the can't mount "log" and such errors might be a little different - were you on or are you on an MTD rom? (miui or CM7) because those errors will show if you're using the 3 button method to get into recovery while one either of those two roms. If you can, jump on IRC and get some help, we're around and more than willing to walk you through.

Just wanted to say I got my problem fixed following the advice of bdemartino to flash EE23 via odin.
The other builds I was trying to flash were not full builds.
Thanks again! I was ecstatic after my phone finally rebooted!

Is it safe to say that anyone who has odined back to stock has lost all data?
I think there has to be a way to push an rom that uses the lagfix and won't go into an endless boot cycle.
Anyone else?

Yes you will lose all data.

I've been running cm7. For a while now and tried to do something and caused the e can't Mont problem
I'm on a showcase from cellsouth
I can still use this adb reformatted fix right
If not I read that I can flash a full build pit and tar check repartition boot then Odin a cwm and flash an rfs reformatter zip to fix my problems
Is that true too

()()()()()()() everyone having the force close issue read this ()()()()()

More and more people keep having this problem. Your phone suddenly has tons of force closes, and becomes unfunctional. Well we seem to have a problem with our recovery, possibly causing a corrupt partition. There is a solution .......use odin to flash the stock recovery tar found in development. Boot into stock recovery.. wipe data, and cache 3 times each ,and boot the rom back up. Then use rom manager to flash the tmobile gs2 cwm recovery. This does work. And has been proven numerous times.
Here is the stock recovery http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1360943.
If for some reason you still have this issue after following my advice. Use odin to flash the stock firmware tar found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1342348. After your done. Let it boot. If u get the force closes. Then proceed to power off, boot into stock recovery, and then wipe your data/cache, and reboot

Excellent post... Thx

another good one Silver Thanks....im curious as well to see how many are really having this issue<<<

Is there a difference between the TMobile GS2 CWM recovery and the CWM recovery flashed using this method (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1340526)?

I had the described problem, but wiping and reloading the intended ROM in CWM recovery fixed it.

That is good but alot of times that does not work. It can actually get to the point where it will not read the internal sd card

How are you guys flashing....and what are you flashing that is giving you these issues.
I have yet to experience these issues on T-Mobile or skyrocket roms.
What are the exact steps you follow when flashing a from to begin with?

I have experienced this on stock, and custom roms. And im not the only one. Alot of people have had this issue
Lets put it this way enough people have had this problem, and more will to the point where i made this thread, and asked a mod (jayharper08) to sticky it.

yes ALOT have......they may not have known it was a known issue and solved it. but it is there.

I am not saying you guys are not having issues...there has to be a reason I am not which is why I ask.....What steps exactly do you guys use to flash a rom and what roms. The process to fix it is great but if we could prevent it in the first place wouldn't that be better????.

Silver,
Question...based on several of your other posts in threads, if we have 2.3.6 and use http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1340526 to root/install recovery, are things ok?
Or should we still follow this thread to update CWM via ROM Manager?
Thanks.

^^^
That was my question too. What's the difference between the two recovery's?

I was having the issue too. I had the issue on stock(pure from store) as well as stock rooted, skyrocketeer, and cm7.
One thing I have tied it to, which I am not sure is the true reason but I was too impatient to test it thoroughly, is excessive SMS messages.
I have over 32k messages currently stored on my HTC Inspire. These have been moved from my G1, to Nexus One, to Inspire with no issue at all. When importing to my Skyrocket, the messages will import fine for a while. Afterwards, I would get random FCs, screen freezes up(can't do anything, not even turn off the screen), and network disconnects. I can force a reboot by holding the power button and it will work for about 5 minutes and then repeat the issues as before.
At first I thought it was the specific device having radio issues so I exchanged it for a new unit at Best Buy. I was still having the same issues with the new unit so I just figured I could cut my losses (on screen protectors and phone case) by just returning the until outright. I figure I will wait for the ICS update for this phone, hoping it will be more stable. Maybe at that point I can compare with other phones available as well.

I have had this problem repeating several times even after flashing the Rom and repeating steps as mentioned. I think it does it with a certain number of apps that downloaded from the market.

Is this a problem that develops as you start flashing more and more ROMs? Is there a known cause?
I'm new at this stuff - just rooted and tried my first ROM this week. I'm tempted to try others but if chances are good that I'll run into problems/issues even if I'm going about things the right way - I might hold off on making a change given that the phone is stable right now.
Thoughts?

NO rom does not cauz this issues. What causes issue is when you restore data from ur backups. Plus there is problem with cwm it does not fully wipe data because cwm was not particularly made for our phone. That being said you do not have to worry about a thing. I am flashaholic and i used to flash every other day since i m with Sky ice cream rom by Sean i don't flash a lot. Don't worry just try out all the roms you won't have problem by roms at all. There was only one rom that had problem Alien the first or second build.

Do you need to go into download mode to flash the recovery in ODIN? Or do you do it when the phone is just turned on regularly?

You have to go to dload mode in order to flash recovery. and use odin.

Thank you bro. Can I just reinstall TiBu from GP? And thanks for all your hard work..You rock..

no it wont work. i accidentally put the preload preconfg app back in wasnt paying attention coppying apps. lol it happens
but thats what causes force closes and tibu to not work
its fixed now
new link will be in op in about an hour

how do you take your screen captures? The app i normally use ShootMe takes pictures that appear to be red washed.
Never mind. Figured it out.

Good idea on the Q&A thread! Of course most people will glaze over that and post questions in the other thread, but it's a good idea.
Only problem might be that the post count will go down for the thread in the dev section if people come here instead, and you may get moved down the list onto page two--behind inferior roms...

What does the Silver Rom flashable theme consist of exactly? Is that what is in the preview pictures or does it look different?

i flashed ICS3 but i cant seem to download anything no links work anywhere to download. says download starting then when i check on it says it failed. is there anything i can do?

Got collectiveics3 working
I had been having boot loop problems, and when I finally got it running the acore FC was killing me because it ground everything to a halt over and over again.
I flashed Superlite 4.5, which wiped and then ran OK but I got ambitious and flashed the UCALC5 modem and it turned into a nightmare... every touch of the screen would freeze me up for a minute or more.
I reflashed the romracer kernal and the UCALC4 modem, then reflashed collectiveics3 and that gave me a working ics, but the apex crashes were making life difficult (trying to log on to the market took me over an hour because the keyboard kept dissapearing, but I finally got there and updated Apex and TiBu and reinstalled the TiBu key... that let me restore the stuff I lost to the superlite flash... but something didn't play nice with the ROM.
Reflashed superlite, reflashed collectiveics3, re-updated Apex and TiBu, and then rloaded most of my apps from the maeket, restored data ONLY from user apps (and was picky about which ones I chose) and I can hapily say everything seems to be working properly for me...
In the interest complying with the Q&A for this thread... here's a question.
I was in a strong LTE area for a couple hours but couldn't find where to tell the phone to use it... The settings on the Rogers GB ROM are self evident... where do I find them on this one?
I am anxiously awaiting the updated link, but headed to a cottage that's off the grid and nowhere near cellular service in an hour or so, so I guess I'm in no hurry until Monday now... may as well take the pressure off so he can make it absolutely perfect.
Jamie

@Silver
Does this ROM have the option in the settings menu to turn off LTE? I think that option in your GB ROM saved me some battery life, and I would love to see it in this ROM. This ICS kernel or radio seems to really suck battery, I'm glad I have the 15 toggle to turn off data completely when I'm at work.
another Q what's the difference between the theme link on Post #4 of DEV Thread and the ROM that will be posted in OP?

Here http://www.theandroidcollective.org/i727/SilverRom/silverics.zip
Some thing i have have concluded about the ics leak. And my rom instructions
Use cwm 5.0.2.6 and only this version. It is in the dev section in a cwm recovery.tar
Works everytime for me on this cwm version
Do not use rom manager to install it. Our device is very similar to the t989 but there is something different to where the skyrockrt will always have recovery issues. Unless we get our own specific for us.
Do not wipe anything....just flash no wipes.
Wipes cause bootloops in my rom.
If u abide by these directions. You will be all good.
Enjoy
Still not finished the rom but it is a work in progress as this was built from a leak eith many bugs.
Its fast and smooth. New apex version...new live wallpapers.
Included usefull apps.

dont wipe anything manually. Just flash silvers ics rom. It will wipe what it needs to. Do that and if it bootloops again let us know.

ok then i did it right the first time. i didnt manually wipe anything. i just went to install zip from sd card and installed it. after it was installed it went to the bootanimation and maybe completed half of it. then it restarted and started looping and then the bootanimation would not come back. just the samsung logo looping. i ended up going back to stock so at least i got my phone working again
for this rom to work do i need to be running 4.0.3? when i tried to install it i was running 2.3.5. could that have been the problem?

Give us some more info.
What rom are you currently using?
Did you follow the directions and do a factory reset before/after flashing the rom?
What else are you flashing or doing?

CM9 with KJ6 padded modem
I followed all the instructions and now I flashed CM7 everything
work well even the wifi but I would like to have ICS thanks

Jeffsf did help you in your other post he gave you all the info needed.
That's pretty rude to say you weren't helped.

CM9 works just fine for WiFi. It is only the T-Mobile WiFi Calling feature that does not work on any ICS ROM for the SGS4G.
Changing the modem has nothing to do with the Wifi driver. It sounds like a bad flash or the way data was restored.
I'd read the Q&A thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1729121 and post any unanswered questions there.

I think it is interesting that you say you have tried everything, but I don't know what everything means, because wifi works for me on every rom. So you did not try everything, you are doing one thing wrong that no one else is having a problem with.

Considering we are here on XDA, and this is a forum, we usually write text (you know... this stuff) and you have to read it. If I or any other developers for this phone took the time to make a video on how to do something that is better explained in text format, we would never get time to dev anything (and you would hear my wife constantly yelling at me while I'm making a video... I don't need to expose you to that world!).

How about instead, you do things one step at a time. At each step, write down what you did and the results. Be as detailed as you can. Use correct english, so we understand what you are saying. (you instead of u, because instead of bcoz, etc...)
When you get all done, post to this thread and we will help!

thank you i really apreciate
ok i was running CM7(which is smooth and work great, thanks to team acid) but decided to try again...and here is what i'm doing:
- i returned to stock 2.3.6 via Odin and CWM is 3.0.2.8 in Red (don't know why, but you probably do)
- to have CWM 5.0.2.8 i flashed a kernel (Basic with a Twist SGS4G KJ6 1.1.3)
- then after rebooting twice i get into cwm 5.0.2.8 and i did wipe data/factory reset,wipe cache partition,wipe dalvik cache
- then install zip from SD card...then flash "cm-9-20120830-UNOFFICIAL-galaxys4gmtd" (that i downloaded twice to make sure the package is good)
- reboot and flashed Gapps and reboot again and flashed the "kj6_padded_modem"
- i rebooted twice and entered cwm and did wipe cache partition,wipe dalvik cache, fix permissions
after a reboot when i turn on wifi it tells me "wifi turning on" and didn't detect any signal but all other stuff work.
hope its clear than before

Tried getting closer to the router? Your wifi is accessible with other devices? You HAVE wifi?
Sorry if that sounded mean, but like Bryan said, there are no problems with wifi an any rom I have used either.

I think you might be missing a key step.
Go back to stock.
Flash basic with a twist to get the right recovery.
Wipe data/factory reset.
Wipe cache.
Wipe dalvik cache
Go to mounts "WIPE SYSTEM"
Flash rom.
Let it do is thing and reboot you into cm9.
Then reboot into recovery flash gapps.
you shouldn't need to flash the radio if you already had kj6 before, I never do. But what I like to do is repeat the wipes and fresh install of cm9 after the initial install from gb just to be on the safe side though I'm sure it's over kill, then flash the gapps. restart and let the phone settle in before I mess with it. Works for me every time.
