I have a phone HTC Desire S
like a year ago I rooted it. Revolutionary method I think...
Well been playing with roms cyanogen etc
Yesterday installed Andromadus 10.1. It was great but the phone rebooted on its own and got stuck on the Cyanogen loading screen I rebooted and it happened again.
I went into recovery and now it says the E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/command error :/
Can you guys help me fix this phone?
what details do you need?
I don't know if that error is about SD card or internal memory but have you tried booting without SD card? I think its probably internal memory, but maybe a dodgy SD card would cause that.
Failing that, can you not fully get into recovery to reflash the device? If the recovery partition is corrupt I think you'll need to reflash the custom recovery via adb fastboot command.
Edit: also maybe the cache partition is corrupt and needs formatting

recently my phone ran out of battery and when i connected to a power source and turned it on only to have it boot into recovery and in recovery gave me the error cant mount e:/cache, tried to do a nandroid and it wouldnt let me, then after a couple of reboots it booted into the rom, now every time i restart my phone it goes into recovery and does the same thing, i updated to the newest Internal recovery, but it still does the same thing. Any Ideas of what it could be?

sounds like what happened to my first phone, probably ended up wiping all your internal partitions , had to go in parted with adb shell and recreate all the 8 partitions on the internal memory to be able to flash anything on the phone.

how would i go about that, right now its working fine, but then i havent had to reboot it, my vibrant was alot easier to deal with with odin lol
CWM recovery 6.0.1.0 was not actually wiping my partitions before I flashed new ROM's I found out recently after installing TWRP. Eventually (after a few ROM installs) my phone started bootlooping and hanging a lot, so I wiped everything in CWM and attempted another flash. Now the sdcard portion of the internal memory seems to be corrupted, and it won't mount or be written to when I flash (via fastboot or CWM).
Any tools you know of that can help me format or repartition the internal MMC so I can try to flash it again? Or at least get it back to stock form to turn it in to the Sprint store and see if they will help me. Maybe it is physically damaged, but I am leaning towards corrupted.
Sounds like a job for Odin.

hello, last week i bricked my tf300, this is what happened...
i installed the energy rom along with the 4.2.1 bootloader, i was already using twrp 2.4.3.0 and it seemed to work fine for a while but then i had problems with a double screen after trying a different rom (cant remember which) anyway i tried the usual resets and wipes to to fix it but no joy. I then used the wipe data in bootloader thinking a full clean wipe would sort it but it just booted straight into twrp.
in twrp nothing will mount apart from system, ive used fastboot to flash various stock blobs, proper twrp img etc but even tho fastboot said everything flashed ok, i still boot into the old twrp which wont mount anything apart from system.
i then got an old 8 gig sd card and put stock roms and energy rom on root of the sd card , in twrp i mounted system but cant mount cache, data or sd card but strangely, i was able to copy the above roms from the sd card and move them to the mounted system partition which i was then able to install the energy rom with aroma installer , happy days i thought until after installation it rebooted straight to twrp again asking for password?
when i try to install stock roms by the above method it fails because cache isnt mounted. i think the twrp is corrupted, how do i fix this?
could someone with the know how tell me what im doing wrong,? should i full wipe again? should i wipe the twrp and how do i do this?
i am sort of a newb to this and any advice would be great
So i guess i finally got myself in a jam. i have flashed man many ROMS,but recently i hit factory reset on the bootloader screen (i think that is what it is called) instead on recovery and it seems all of my memory has been wiped out. So I have spent many hours trying to figure this out but i am stuck in TWRP with no recovery or ROMS to flash. I have also tried ADB sideload but i keep getting "fail". I am out of ideas. please help.
Thanks!
Your sd card is corrupted, that's what happens when you do a factory reset from bootloader. It's an easy mistake to make. You should just be able to mount your sd card using the mount feature in TWRP, then use Windows to format it to fat32, then you can copy a ROM across to flash.

My phone completely discharged and now it wont boot.
I can boot into bootloader and recovery. I've flashed boot, recovery, and bootloader with fastboot.
In recovery I can't mount or format sdcard, usbstorage, system or data. Only cache will mount/format.
CWM recovery (v6.0.4.3) says "Error mounting /sdcard".
After I got this error, I've been messing around with fastboot and adb not completely understanding what I'm doing, so the phone is probably more messed up now than when I first got the error 2 days ago.
Do you guys think this is a hardware error, or is it something i can fix?

The newer CWM recoveries cannot mount SD card.
The latest TWRP i.e. v2.8.0.0 can mount SD card. Try doing that. Then take a backup of your stuff.
Now, copy a ROM in your SD card and then flash it from the recovery.
