So I thought I`d try out a rom just been running a stock rooted rom for awhile now. I thought I`d play with MIUI rom but for some reason I get "phone has stopped" so I was gonna go back into recovery and reflash it... Well I cant as now it says cant mount /sdcard. Now what?
Phone still boots into the rom but I cant do anything as it says phone has stopped
Odd... After a few reboots CWM is now working correctly now. Not sure what caused this..

Ill start with what I was trying to do.
I wanted to port the new ICS on my Nexus S i9020, I got ClockWorkMod and Went through all the steps that were needed and then I had to boot the phone to see if it worked, but it stayed on the white Google sign.
I Pulled out the battery and put it back in more than 30 times and still didnt work. So now I cant access the phone itself only recovery mode.
When im in recovery all I get is cache failure, i get:
E: can't find misc
E: failed to find "cache" to mount at "/cache"
E:Can't mount cache/recovery/command.....etc.
Im new to this, Im not sure what I should do. Can anyone help?
I have had same problem as yours, try flash newer version of recovery via adb in bootloader and then flash rom
ics is not stable yet, flash 2.3.6,wait for another week for ics

Hello, I'm new to the forums and I feel bad I'm already screwing things up :/
Anyway on to the problem... I've had CM9 running on my phone for about two weeks now but I wanted to get rid of the rainbows in CWM and at boot. Today I downloaded Rom Manager from the market place, and when I ran it, it prompted me to install CWM recovery to my SD card, although I already had it installed I thought I'd give it a try. Bad idea, now I can't leave recovery mode, my phone will continually reboot into recovery, I've tried wiping all data and clean installing CM9 again and still nothing. I've even tried the exitrecovery.zip script to no avail
Any suggestions or ideas on how to fix it and boot into my ROM again?
Thanks!!
I would venture to say you might have to reflash...or start over from stock...
i would reload stock....then reload ics or the rom of your choice...
Thanks a lot! Worked like a charm, I used Odin and flashed factory stock 2.2.1, now I'm off to getting ICS back.
Thanks again!
Does anyone know why this happens? I've noticed that anytime I open CWM and choose the boot to recovery option is when I get stuck with CWM Recovery looping. I then have to go back to stock and start over again.
I'm not entirely sure why it happens, my guess was that it puts up a bad flag not compatible with ICS that keeps it from booting that, that was why I tired the exitrecovery script, I looked through it and it appeared to me to change a flag for booting. I'm not sure why it happens but I'd say just use the reboot to recovery option that the ROM provides in the shutdown menu, I know that always works.
So one fine day my TF101G runs out of juice and shuts down. I did the usual, plug in power cable, wait for a while before powering on.
However this time the TF101G is stuck on the loading screen.
I'm on No-Name CM10.1 4.2.2 by josteink with CrossBreeder.
I also have TWRP installed, so I booted up with TWRP and tried to see what can be done. I noticed that there was an error message saying unable to mount /data regardless of what i try to do.
I supposed that would be the root of my failure to boot into the OS itself?
If so, what can I do to recover back into 4.2.2 without losing data?
Many TIA!
ok it appears that I'm unable to mount internal storage also.
I can enter TWRP but I cant do anything because i cant mount internal storage and /data

I know nothing about the G model but at that point I'd say you have to give up on whatever data was on there. Just start over, reflash a new rom. If it doesn't work, go back to stock then reflash.

Thanks Lethe, but I tried flashing CM10.1 but it failed due to unable to mount /data and also internal storage.
So I tried to flash stock firmware, but it failed also. Now I do not have TWRP/any recovery nor can I boot into CM10.1
I supposed the only way is through ADB.
But i'm not too sure how to go about doing it.
ok managed to get this working.
thankfully i still managed to boot into TWRP, and flash stock ICS firmware.
It didn't really went well because of unable to mount /data and internal storage.
But somewhere the flash in TWRP managed to take place and the tablet went to do some sorting out by itself and viola! it managed to boot into stock ICS.
run PERI and got everything up and running again. at the expense of losing all data but at least i dont have to get a new tablet
p/s: i look through the forums and it appears that the TF101 have a thing of building itself back up after a soft-brick

Glad you worked it out!
Hi all, some background on what's happening. I have multi-rom installed so i have their version of TWRP. I tried to "swap roms" when I installed the new Lollipop because it worked fine so I wanted to make it my primary. Something wonky happened after that. When I booted into Lollipop now it wouldn't start and it stayed on the "upgrading apps" screen for about half an hr. I rebooted and nothing but bootloops...So i wiped the rom, and flashed it fresh...stuck on "installing zip" for 20 mins so I rebooted of course. NOW, it says "E: unable to mount /system".
However, it did let me flash the rom in the secondary slot and I am back into Lollipop but it won't let me flash specific items such as the kernel needed to run L. Constantly says unable to mount/system in TWRP. Some zips flash, some don't. How can I get this back to normal? I may be able to survive with what I have here but clearly this is not a long term fix. How do I remount system?? Helpppp please!
Hello Everyone. i wiped everything from CWM. Then tried to flash a CM based rom but I couldn't managed to. the problem is i cant mount data, system etc. I flashed twrp recovery to try again but nothing happens still cant mount. I was on 4.2 bootloader. I flashed twrp 2.4.4.0 but still cant mount.

I've got a similar problem. I was on twrp 2.7.0.0 and had been running 4.4.4 Crombi for awhile but it started getting really laggy so I decided to just wipe cache and dalvik in recovery. When I rebooted, I noticed the tablet had gone into bootloop which is weird. Anyway, when I booted back to recovery again, I noticed I couldn't mount sdcard or anything else except external. I have tried flashing various twrps and cwms with no luck.
I've been able to NVFlash back all the blobs of the Asus stock 10.6.1.27 and the tablet runs fine but when I boot into recovery, it cannot mount anything. Just the weirdest thing. I guess the good thing is the tablet is working but I'd really like to be able to flash a custom ROM again...
Can anyone shed light on this issue?
Thanks

Update: Well...I turned on USB debugging and when I booted into recovery...everything mounted. That is the weirdest thing ever. This issue is closed for me...
