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
Hey guys,
The problem all started last week when I encrypted my tf300. For some reason it did not occur to me that this would be an issue when I started the process of rooting today. I used the asus bootloader unlocking tool and got fastboot to work long enough to flash cwm but when I tried to flash from sdcard it said that it cant mount sdcard. This is where I messed up. I realized that I needed to format data so that I could unencrypt. Booted to cwm and formatted system and the two others that are there but it refused to format data. Now it boots to the Asus screen and recovery does not mount sd. fastboot devices list is empty same with adb devices.
Any ideas??
Thank you
So I guess my question is how do I erase or format data partition so that i can flash a rom.
any help is appreciated.
thanks
Switch on with power + VOL down then VOL Down, then VOL Down twice to move across to WIPE DATA, VOL Up or power should select it for you.
when I select wipe data the device boots to clocworkmod recovery.

Ah you will probably need the standard recovery image as there is probably some lock on it.

You will need to ask XpLoDWilD for it then flashboot it back onto there and try again?
ok ill give this a try. hopefully i can get fastboot to flash the image. i had a hard time getting clockworkmod on there.
thank you

I've been flashing recoveries all day and had no issues with it.

Did you format:
System,
Cache,
Staging
Data
then wipe cache
then data/factory reset
then advanced and wipe dalvik
i was able to format system cache and staging but when i try to format data it says:
error mounting /data!
skipping format...
done.
says something similar when i try to mount sdcard so that i can flash .zip files

Have you tried Factory reset from the main menu?
when I choose wipe data/factory reset i get:
--wiping data...
formatting /data...
error mounting /data!
skipping format...
formatting /cache...
formatting /sd-ext
formatting /sdcard/.android_secure...
error mounting /sdcard/.android_secure!
skipping format...
data wipe complete.

Standard recovery might let you wipe it.
Just had a look on XDA and this might help you?

Hello Everyone
To flash a new ROM you can do as follows:
boot in Recovery
format cache partition
from your PC use adb to mount /sdcard as tmpfs:
adb shell mount -t tmpfs none /sdcard
put your ROM on the (fake) sdcard
adb push <your rom> /sdcard
use the recovery to flesh the ROM as usual
This worked form me.
Sorry to be late...

i am going to start by apologizing for being such a noob. Thank you so much for your help.
I am not very familiar with adb and fastboot i have only used it a couple times and this is when im being led through it by some forum on xda.
when i run the first line i get
error: device not found
from what i have seen this is a driver issue?
i have used this same stuff to help root my phone a while back. could that be an issue?
i tried the commands while the device was in recovery and while in fastboot mode.
thanks again

Reading from that thread the only way to wipe encrypted image is if you boot into it, not sure the standard recovery will do it
When I found out that the encryption was the problem I tried to do a factory reset in the settings and it just booted me into clockworkmod. I should have just flashed stock recovery then.... lesson learned.
I hope I didnt make an expensive paperweight.

Yours is a bit more difficult but I have managed to mount and push files in recovery to my sd card.
Need to work out how to format yours now.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
could there be a way to partition and do some sort of "dual-boot"
just a random idea.
I rooted the phone following the steps here on the xda thread and I tried afterwards upgrading the firmware to ics. I followed these instructions http://www.android.gs/update-htc-one...-firmware-rom/ and afterwards my phone just keeps restarting and restarting. I didn't make a recover image because I was too confident that it was going to work. Afterwards I panicked and pressed factory reset, thinking everything will turn back to normal. I lost all the files I saved onto the sd card and I don't know what to do now. I can't even use the all in one kit. Please help, I greatly appreciate it
If you can't get into bootloader/fastboot anymore, you're bricked. I would not know how to revive it. Otherwise, you're not bricked.
You need a functioning recovery. You can flash it in fastboot if you're unlocked.
If you have successfully flashed a recovery but you can't boot into recovery, try erasing your cache from fastboot:
fastboot erase cache
If you can boot into fastboot, make sure you can mount your sdcard partition. I don't mean mount it onto your computer over USB, but just mount it onto the root filesystem.
If you can not mout your sdcard partition, go to the sticky in Q&A on fixing unmountable sdcard. It involves flashing a stock recovery and clearing storage in bootloader. If you had to do this, flash your custom recovery back and confirm you can now mount your sdcard partition.
Now that you have a functioning recovery and a mountable sdcard, you're good to adb push a rom to your sdcard and flash it in recovery. I suggest you format system, data, and cache first. You probably need to flash the boot image that comes with the rom from fastboot.

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
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
