hello there, i have a serious problem:
i had my a510 with unlocked bootloader and had the CM11 rom installed...so far, so good: all of a sudden when reading a PDF, it shut down, rebooted, went into a bootloop showing the acer logo.
i had also CWM installed, tried EVERYTHING there to erease cache and stuff like that..nothing worked it started flashing a different rom...no success...
i´ve already installed TWPR 2.7.0.0....worked until the point where i wanted to install a new rom...installing works, saying "successful" but in the lower left corner it says:
E: error opening ' /data/tf '
E: error: I/O error

can anybody help me please?! this is driving me insane!!
EDIT1:
i tried formatting DATA....after 5 minutes still no luck....it keeps "formatting data". could this be the reason for everything?!
EDIT2:
adb shell
recovery --wipe_data
did the trick!!!! i went back to TWRP, wiped DATA, no errors in /data/tf this time...clean installed CM11...and now it works again
Try to flash back CWM, format every partition (via the advanced menu)
and then flash a ROM like CM11

I have an Inspire 4G. I've been running AndroidRevolution 5.6.2 for awhile now, probably 6 months. It's been running great so I haven't had any reason to mess with it. Today it locked up for no reason (no changes, no new apps, etc). It wouldn't boot beyond the "HTC Quietly Brilliant" splash screen.
I jumped into HBoot and then into CWM (version 2.1.3 RC2). I tried wiping Cache and Dialvik cache and rebooting with the same results.
I then tried a "Fix Permissions" with the same results.
I then tried a "Factory Reset". This time it seemed to give the same results, but when I tried to go back into CWM it loops... it loads the file system list at the bottom below the menu, flashes black, then does it again over and over again. I can control the menus (vol up/down, power) for the split second that they are available but then CWM just restarts, over and over again.
I was going to try Gene Poole Factory Reset tool, but it states that the /cache need to be EXT3 and mine is EXT4.
Is there any hope for me? How can I either get back to stock or at least a working CWM (3.0.2.6 or newer) to load AndroidRevolution 6.3.1?
Please help!

Download the Ace hack kit and take the CWM image in the folder tools/recovery. Rename it PD98IMG.zip and then copy it to the root of your SD card. Boot into Hboot and when prompted press volumen up. That will flash a new recovery image. Then try flashing a new Rom from the CWM...
You shouldn't have made a factory reset without flashing a new Rom.

In the Inspire 4G General forum there is a thread right at the top that explains how to deal with this type of problem. Marsdta also provides links to a Recovery img already in PD98IMG.zip format as well as flashable stock RUUs. That should get you back up and running.
I got a good Recovery installed (CWM 5.0.2.6). From there I ran SuperWipe which completed fine. Next I tried installing the AndroidRevolution 6.3.1 ROM and it failed with "Insallation Aborted" and "Status 7". After that, trying to Super Wipe or install the ROM fails and reports "Status 1". I'm trying to re-format the SD card and re-download the ROM right now. Any other tips?
Thanks in advance!

Try flashing some other rom. Maybe the file is corrupted...try installing RCmix3D or Coredroid or maybe some other rom and see what happens.
I'm getting a lot of errors in CMW along the lines of "E:Can't Mount /cache/recover/log" and "E:Can't Open /cache/recovery/log". When I try to run Super Wipe I also get "(cache is unmounted alread)". Is there some problem with how my cache is formatted, mounted, or something like that? When I try to Mount /cache manualy I get "Error mounting /cache!".
Thanks again.

Don't run the superwipe....flash the recovery and don't wipe anything. Just flash the rom...
Tried that just now. Got as far as
>>> Flashing boot.img
assert failed: write_raw_image("/tmp/boot.img" . "boot")
E:Error in /sdcard/Android_Revolution_HD-4G_6.3.1.zip
(Status 7)
Installation aborted.
Is there anything special I need to do in regards to formatting the SD card beyond FAT32 and full format (not quick)?

Do the following....try to change SD card, and don't flash Android Revolution...try to flash this:
http://rcmix3d.blogspot.com/2011/11/rcmix3d-runny-v40.html
Flash that rom to see what happens. Two options, or the zip file you are trying to flash is corrupted or the SD card is having issues...try the rom I posted, if is not working then try with another SD card....that should solve the problem
Formatting the SD card is a possible way of solving corrupted patitions....
Tried this. Flash of the rom seems to have completed but wouldn't boot beyond white HTC screen. Rebooted and still wouldn't boot past white HTC screen. Re-entered CWM, cleared data, tried flash again. This time the flash seemed to load correctly but now I can't even power on... complete brick...
Is there any chance to save my phone?

Ummmm...things are not good. But I heard that if the partitons are corrupted then you are lost. Try leaving the phone with no battery for a while. Then try to boot it...and see what happens. If it boots butvis still stuck in hboot, then return to stock with Gene Pole's tool and make a warranty claim. If you cannot even turn it on...then do the same. But if your carrier finds out you jhave been messing with your cell then you won't get much...

Total brick. Had to be hardware failure that initiated the downward spiral. Luckily I have an ATT DCS Center nearby and the swapped the phone out with a new(ish) one within about 3 minutes of troubleshooting. Thanks again for all the help. Not sure what ROM to flash to the new phone, though all I really want is tethering... Is there anything else out there as "stock" as Android Revolution HD 6.3.1?

Well you can just root the phone and maintain the stock rom...or there is ERBUS ROM that is just stock but without ATT bloatware and some other stuff...anyway you can just check some other roms and decide by yourself...there is no correct answer for that!! glad u solved it.
Hi:
I am quite worried, because my Xoom is unable to boot normally. I have EOS Nightly 99 installed, and after many weeks of perfect bahaviour, it was giving some messages like "gapps has closed", so I restarted the tablet. To my surprise, I saw the Moto lgo, the Tam EOS animation, and the "wheel" that appears before booting completely... and that´s it. Stuck.
I tried wiping dalvik-cache and cache and restart. Same result.
I tried restoring a nandroid backup. And here's the strange thing, because it can't restore data. The error message reads:
Error removing /data/data/com.android.browser/databases/webview.db-wal!Error formatting /data!
I tried wiping userdata, same error message
I tried with another recovery, in case it mattered (cwm and rogue). Same error
EDIT (Update):
I tried accessing the Xoom through ADB, and try to delete manually the pesky file. I was succesful. When I tried another "wipe data" from the recovery, I got a similar error:
Error removing /data/data/com.android.browser/databases/autofill.db (another file)
When I tried to delete it, I got the following error message (through adb) [why did it work the first time and not now???]
rm: can't remove 'autofill.db': Read-only file system
Any help, please? I'm at a loss here...
I post some photos of the errors

Yes, I did try that as well. It flashes without problem (rom + gapps), but does not restart (same original problem). I flashed it after a cache and dalvik-cache wipe.

ok backup your recovery to your desktop just so it is safe
try this
wipe cache - wipe dalvik cache - wipe/reset factory data - flash rom only then reboot - if it bootloops again enter recovery and go to advanced settings and run fix permissions and reboot

Thanks for your reply.
The problem, in case I wasn't clear, is that I can not make a WIPE DATA (that's when I get the error). It doesn't help wiping cache and dalvik beforehand. So I am in the same bootloop situation. tried fixing permissions, but I continue in the same situation.

sorry i must of mis-read your op - all i can suggest then is returning to stock using adb guide here http://goo.gl/G09vP then flashing your rom again - just make sure you get the right image for your device

I will try this, as a last resort. Now I am making a backup of my internal sd card, because this process will delete everything in it. In case somebody wonders how to do this (I didn't know it myself), I used adb. The exact command I used was:
adb pull /data/media .
It's taking ages to backup my internal sd files (at a rate of 7Gb/hour aprox).
Meanwhile, anybody knows what possibly is happening to my Xoom?
After wating several hours to back up my internal sd card, I have been able to wipe (format) /data from fastboot. In case somebody needs to do something similar:
Once in recovery, type in your computer:
adb reboot bootloader (wait for the xoom to reboot into fastboot)
fastboot erase userdata
I then rebooted into recovery, and restored a nandroid backup. This time, no problems.
Now I am in the (again) long process of copying the /data/media files back to my Xoom, but I was VERY relieved to see that it was booting normally after this...
glad you got it fixed dude
Hello,
I'm currently in some trouble with my phone.
Yesterday out of no thing I got the mentioned error "uids on the system are inconsistent you need to wipe your data partition"
My Moto G was only unlocked and rooted and basically Stock FW.
After I got this error I was like "well this sucks but ok" so I booted into the recovery (I pre-installed the recovery from the Cyanogen Mod thread) wiped it and booted again but nothing, the error still appeared.
So my next step was to try to flash a custom rom - I flashed CyanogenMod which ended in a boot loop. I flashed a stock firmware again aaaaand yes, the UIDs error was still persistent.
I also wiped the dalvik cache and the fix on the internet "use fix permissions in recovery" does not work as there is no such menu entry :/
So yeah, please help to resolve this this problem - I like my phone

I had this problem, and I was able to fix it through my TWRP Custom Recovery. You're using a CWM recovery, right? I searched, and found that there is an option to fix permissions in CWM. Advanced > Fix Permissions.
Probably the cleanest solution HERE
I was trying to install CM11 on my Stock unrooted xoom, so I went ahead and followed cyanogenmod.org's guide.
It was great until the flashing CM part. And then, I got this error: System is not bigpart . (something along those lines.)
I found a same guy who had posted a solution to this.
So I go ahead and follow this, and when I flash BigPart TWRP 2700, I get this error on the device: Installation aborted. I used the sideload method for this.
I looked up some forum threads on how to fix this, and there was a thread which told me to install another version of TWRP BigPart, the R.A.H version. I did that by sideload, it installed, and I rebooted into recovery (after wiping dalvik cache). Teamwin loaded up fine, and I headed into the wipe section. According to the solution at ditoforge.com (link above), I had to go to advanced wipe and wipe everything BUT the sdcard. I did that, and I got this error: E: Can't mount /cache. I went ahead and flashed CWM through fastboot again, repeated the process, and no luck. Then, I went into fastboot and flashed TWRP Bigpart 2.7 directly using adb. It worked, though I got a series of errors upon trying to wipe (unable to mount /system, /cache, /data, etc)
I panicked, fearing a brick, and flashed back CWM. Luckily, I had taken a backup of Stock 4.1 and I restored back to that, thankfully finding it working. *phew*
I also tried fastboot format cache but I got this error on cmd:
Code:
C:\Users\User\Desktop\adb>fastboot format cache
formatting 'cache' partition...
Formatting is not supported for filesystem with type ''.
FAILED ()
Strangely, fastboot erase cache seemed to work.
I wanted to call quits, but I love CM11 and I would really like to give this a shot. Any help and tips would be really appreciated. Thank you all in advance.
Bump. Tried to use CWM recovery again after flashing, but now ADB doesnt work in recov. :\
Bump..
Any help would be appreciated..
I formated all partitions individually in TWRP and it worked... I.E, managed to flash CM11.
Hope that helps.
Now I'm back on CM10.1

Bump.

Hi. I had cyanogenmod 12.1 20151114 . It showed me that i have updates and i downloaded them and flashed them. Then i got errors like "unfortunately google play services (or something like that) has stopped" ok. I wiped the /system, /cahce, /davlik and /data. Reflashed cm 13 20151202 and the error showed again. After several tries the error didnt pop on. I decided to install gapps. Downloaded open gapps micro or something like that for marshmallow and flashed it. Then i got a error showing "setup wizard has stopped". Those errors was endless. Then i wiped the /system partition trough fastboot. Then i tried to flash a rom or wipe through recovery and it showed an error that /system and /cache is missing. Then i tried to set factory settings through fastboot and now i cant get in to recovery. The recovery i have is TWRP v2.8.6.0.
How can i fix it?
I cant get in to os.
Can get in to custom recovery.
When wiping using the twrp recovery shows that unable to mount /system.
Can use fastboot. And use it trough the pc using usb.
I got in to the os.

I installed cm 13 20151202. Booted in and it works perfectly. But i want gapps. I know if i install them i will get the endless errors saying "setup wizard has stopped working" . Im afraid to flash gapps because i know that if i flash i wont be able to wipe /system cause when i wipe using the recovery in the proccess of wiping the phone shuts off and tries to normally boot. While the os is not wiped.
