[Q] Stuck in Bootloader (cache does not mount) - HTC One Mini

I tried to install cyanogenmod (cm-11-20140504-SNAPSHOT-M6-m4.zip) and in the process I probably did something wrong
Any help is highly appreciated.
The header in the unlocked bootloader is:
Code:
*** TAMPERED ***
*** UNLOCKED ***
M4_UL PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-2.22.0000
RADIO-1.24.40e.00.26
Recovery can be easily flashed via
Code:
sudo fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.4.8-m4.img
After selecting "BOOTLOADER" > "RECOVERY", I get the error messages
Code:
ClockworkMod Recovery v6.0.4.8
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
E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/last_install
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/last_install
After sideloading "adb sideload cm-11-20140504-SNAPSHOT-M6-m4.zip", I receive the following error messages
Code:
Restarting adbd...
E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/last_install
E:failed to open last_install: File exists
Finding update package...

E:Error in /tmp/update.zip
(Status 7)

If anybody can help me, that would be great. (Flashin the Nexus4 was so much more fun )

Ive not seen a cwm v6.0.4.8 for the Htc Mini (m4) i could be wrong?
either try flashing philz latest touch recovery v6.41.6 from here http://goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_Advanced_Edition/m4
or twrp 2.7.0.8 from here http://mdmower.cmphys.com/twrp-m4/
these two support the new partition layout.

With philz and twrp I get the same behaviour (warnings and errors).

Try changing the name of your recovery "recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.4.8-m4.img" to just "recovery.img" (its easier and less chance of a typo)
then try this sudo fastboot flash recovery /path/to/recovery.img
hopefully that will give you a working recovery,if that fails do the same with a different recovery
hope that helps,cheers

I am not sure why renaming the file would help, but I did anyway.
Still, I get the same errors.

as stated in previous post, it's for ease of use and less likely to make a spelling mistake causing things to go t*ts up
am thinking your partitions are messed up,

try used twrp1 2.7.0.8 recovery

did you tried OTG option inside of the twrp via OTG cable and usb flashdisc?

I am not sure if I do understand what you mean by twrp1. Do you have a link.

No, I did not try this. I am not sure if I have an OTG cable.
Since mounting of cache seems the main problem, I tried to get some information about the partitions. Does anybody recognize if these partitions are OK or if I do have to apply some change here:

To me it appears as if /cache does not even exist anymore. The recovery seems to be OK, since the selinuxfs is used for a sys-partition.
Braddison, do you know how to fix the partition?

I’m afraid I don’t.
I would try the above recoveries ensuring that they are copied in your fastboot folder , and spelled exactly the same when flashing.
Then try a different rom other than CM , just to see if you can boot . can always flash cm at a later date from recovery.
Hopefully someone on here will come to the rescue.

Internal memory screwed up

Hallo guys,
got a little problem with my phone
it crashed while restoring an backup, now internal memory seems to be messed up.
1. Download Mode is working (flashed StockRom and Broodrom rc5)
2. I can reboot to recovery (I can flash other recovery, from internal sdcard, mounting USB works)
3. Mounting /system /data -> Recovery crashes
4. Factroy Reset does not work
3. When i try to flash a rom.zip it seems that only kernel is changed.
4. Factory Reset is not working
5. I can connect with adb
Perhaps you can have a look on the following outputs

Try formatting system, data and cache then install broodROM RC5 again, it might work.
Did you use the correct recovery while changing roms? you need to use cwm 5.0.0.4 atleast

How can i format data with adb?
I used CWM 6.0.2.7
recovery stucks always at formating data... until i kill by pressing power button
In recovery all functions where mounting /data is not needed are working.
Works
format system
format cache
wipe android secur
Fails
mount data
wipe dalvik
fix permissions

cwm 6.0.2.7
Now i tried several recoverys TWRP and CWM but they are all working same without /data
flased broodrom rc5 again, stuck on boot. Can not factory reset, /data still not mountabel
I think your solution must be this:
You need to flash an empty data.img.ext4 to your phone using odin, I did it once, and it succeeded! But you first need to make it:
busybox dd if=/dev/zero of=/sdcard/data.img.ext4 bs=1M count=1024
1gb empty data.img.ext4 file, which can be flashed to restore the paritition
pack the file for odin:
tar -c data.img.ext4 > fix.tar
md5sum -t fix.tar >> fix.tar
mv fix.tar fix.tar.md5
So you either need cygwin or a native linux shell.
Or u can flash a stock rom via Odin and after booting install another recovery (ex 5.5.0.4 the most stable for me) and another costum rom.
VEREY IMPORTANT make sure u have the right AriesVE.ops. Try to download from SamMobile.

Looks quite interesting.
I#m not sure what i have to do:
connect phone to ubuntu vm
Terminal:
Code:
$ adb busybox dd if=/dev/zero of=/sdcard/data.img.ext4 bs=1M count=1024
$ cd /sdcard/
$ tar -c data.img.ext4 > fix.tar
$ md5sum -t fix.tar >> fix.tar
$ mv fix.tar fix.tar.md5
2. Flash fix.tar.md5 as one package with odin
right?

Hi , TNX
What about this script should run on recovery :
Code:
cat /dev/zero > /dev/block/mmcblk0pX
Code:
[email protected]:~$ adb shell
~ # busybox dd if=/dev/zero of=/sdcard/data.img.ext4 bs=1M count=1024
phone crashes -> data.img.ext4 is only 661 MB
will retry...
I think you did not meant me to do this on the phone.
Code:
[email protected]:~$ cd resc/
[email protected]:~/resc$ busybox dd if=/dev/zero of=^Cata.img.ext4 bs=1M count=1024
[email protected]:~/resc$ busybox dd if=/dev/zero of=data.img.ext4 bs=1M count=1024
1024+0 records in
1024+0 records out
[email protected]:~/resc$ tar -c data.img.ext4 > fix.tar
[email protected]:~/resc$ md5sum -t fix.tar >> fix.tar

Hey Buffo,
I have the same problem after trying your test-versions. I could "revive" all partitions but data by downgrading recovery to 5.5.04 and formating system and cache then. But also data could not be formatted via 5.5.04 so I also will try broods proposal...
btw. this does not work to solve it.
Code:
cat /dev/zero > /dev/block/mmcblk0pX

Sad to here that,
removed all cwm 6.0.2.7 downloads from my post.
At least flashing a stock rom makes the phone look untouched, so i will send it for repair...
I already tried to format data with adb: mke2fs -L data -b 4096 -m 0 -F /dev/block/mmcblk0p17, but also just works with /system + /cache
When exactly did it happen for you?
hey here i found something

interesting. I've run parted via adb and mmcblk0p17 shows 1447 MB - shouldn't this be 1024 MB only?

Yes/No?

As you can see, there is no partitions for /system, /cache and other stuff, that should be there. (but /system, and /cache folders are present in dir listing)
I really did everything I could. I tried: restore from backup (I have one, made with recovery tool), install new ROM (With recovery tool), install stock firmware and stock kernel in ODIN mode. I even tried some PIT file: nothing did absolutely nothing to my status.
Frankly I miss some important part in understanding of filesystem, partitions, images, what is ROM, what is stock kernel, how does those 22, 23 25 partitions are created etc ...
What should I do? Please, help.

As I remember correctly, I tried to repartition my External SD card with fdisk right on Android via 'adb shell'. And I delete existed (there was only one as I recall) partition on mmcblk0 (which is appeared to be not an External, but Internal =\
I tried to create fat and ext partitions on mmcblk0, but only now I thought, that I didn't format it .. and maybe ext should be made as ext3 or ext4. Don't know exactly how to do it.
Oh, looks like I have everything in console buffer (full history of distraction actions)

[Q] Problems with partition table

I have a Prestigio 5044 Duo (PAP5044) with MTK6589. Basically, what I was trying to do was to resize /data partition, beacause it was only about 950Mb, by shrinking Internal SD card (/emmc) partition. For that I used Meteos MTK6589 Apllication.
After going all the steps I found out that Android OS was hanging during boot (like half-way to boot up, and it freezed with no error messages). Though, recovery (I have CWM) boots well.
After doing some research I found out, that partition table of the device was messed up after /cache partition. So, all system and recovery partititons are fine.
Here is fdisk output:
Code:
~ # fdisk -lu /dev/block/mmcblk0

So, on mmcblk0 there must be 10 partitions, and now there are only 6, according to fdisk.
I have two ideas how it is possible to restore partitions: 1) manually with fdisk, though it doesn't seem like a very good idea 2) I've found some info about scatter file for MTK-based devices, seems like it contains all the partitioning info; I have no idea how to get and use that file, though.
What should I do to recover my device?

[Q] "FAILED (remote: flash write failure)" Unable to Flash Factory Image

Hey guys,
I had successfully flashed a factory image of Marshmallow 6.0.1, but ran into a problem in which my 32GB Nexus 5 shows only 16 GB of storage. I followed a guide which recommended to reflash the factory image. When attempting to get into the bootloader I had another problem in which my phone would boot on and off repeatedly when charging. A post on Reddit suggested that the problem was with the power button being jammed and gently hitting the side of the phone would do the trick. It worked. I then tried to reflash the factory image. But now currently when I try to flash either bootloader, radio, recovery, system, or userdata, I get the error message "FAILED (remote: flash write failure)".

I even tried running "flash-all.bat", but still got the same error.
I have been unable to find a solution to this error. I tried to flash TWRP (so I can restore my back up), but I still get the error "FAILED (remote: flash write failure)".
I would greatly appreciate it if someone were to guide me through solving this "FAILED (remote: flash write failure)" error.
Thank you so much.
(This is my first time posting on the XDA Forum so forgive me if I didn't follow etiquette to posting a thread. Also i was unable to post any links since this is my first post, I can send you links for the two problems I had in the beginning as they may be related to my current problem.)
Instead of using fastboot flash, do fastboot boot recovery.img,
then, push the recovery.img to the phone:
adb push recovery.img /sdcard/
And finally, if your eMMC isn't dead, you should be able to flash it
The bootloader is unlocked according to the fastboot screen? Does the bootloader remain unlocked when the phone is rebooted?

When I attempt to do "fastboot boot recovery.img" It boots up to the blue teamwin screen and stops working. It's just frozen at that screen and doesn't actually boot into the recovery with options. Since I was unable to do that I tried the adb method. I was unsure as to how to do it but what I did was I booted into stock recovery and chose the option to "Apply update by ADB", after doing so I attempted to do "adb push recovery.img /sdcard/", but I get an error saying "error: closed". I am pretty sure I am doing the adb part incorrectly.
(also how do I post images?)
Also what do you mean by my eMMC being bead?

Yes it remains unlocked. The bootloader has not had any issue in which it switches from being unlocked or locked.

Your memory chip might be dead, but I am not sure.
Try doing fastboot boot recovery.img again, then it doesn't matter if it doesn't boot fully, adb _should_ be working.
While it is in the blue teamwin screen, do this:
adb shell
With a bit of luck it will work and you will get something like this (or similar):
~ #
If it does work, enter the commands 'mount' and 'ls /dev/block' and tell me what it outputs here, by the way, you can use imgur to post images.

How to root the Honor 8?

I've been reading through many threads on the subject, and it seems that we still don't have a reliable way to root this phone.
Is there any word yet on a TWRP build? Are there any viable alternatives to TWRP?
I'm really starting to miss some of the apps I use that require root.
There are very reliable methods that work..
Just look within this forum.
Where? Pretty sure I've read through every thread on the subject, and all the options are half-baked in one way or another; no backup, designed for a different model, reports of bootloops, messed up file systems, etc.
Can you point me to a verifiably functioning technique for my FRD-L04?

Root doesn't differ from model variants. It's not perfect but works most of the time.

Nothing bad will happen if you do the steps right. Head over to the bootloader unlock thread.
I'm not taking any chances. To quote from another thread:
evilpaul13 said:
The SuperSU's not the problem it's nobody's made a working TWRP for FRD-L04. I've seen lots of people who tried the Mondaco TWRP on L04 say they just got a bootloop with one guy saying it worked, but he couldn't make a backup and just install the root package.

I am also hesitant to do this on my brand new L04. What are the steps to download and flash the stock ROM for this specific model in case it is bricked? I have not found anything about this yet.
I'd very much like to be able to root, but everything I've read makes it look less than promising at the moment. Honor has the B122 firmware from September on their site: http://www.hihonor.com/us/support/details/index.html?DOC_ID=89264
I'm running B150 though which I got OTA and don't really want to go back to an older version with broken auto-brightness if things don't go right. I had B144 when I got the thing.
So the initial release firmware is available for the L04? I guess we can flash it with Hisuite?
If we want to get TWRP working on L04 we need to send partition mount info to the developer that made TWRP work on the other Honor 8 models. I am not sure who that person would be. I have attached the info I am able to get without root. We may need `cat /proc/mtd`. But this virtual device can only be read by root. If anyone has working root on L04 please post here and share with TWRP developer for Honor 8.

It's pretty much like any Huawei. And I think the worst case is bootloop, except if you flash some other's model recovery or system.
Download stock full OTA
Extract boot.img, recovery.img, cust.img and system.img from update.app file with Huawei firmware extractor.
To go back to stock just flash boot and recovery partitions.

So there's finally a working copy of TWRP for the Honor 8: https://twrp.me/devices/huaweihonor8.html
And fortunately the backup/restore feature works properly, as I needed it after UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip threw my phone into a bootloop.
Is there a different SuperSU zip I could try flashing?
EDIT:
Found the current v2.78, which worked fine: http://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/supersu/stable-2016-09-01supersu-v2-78-release-t3452703
Google's top results were pointing to the old version on chainfire.eu. Shoulda checked here first...

46 is outdated. Try 78. If it's still giving you bootloop, try phh's SU.
