I just bought this Note 4 and I am doing a factory reset but I get this error when I choose wipe data/factory reset.
My phone shows as follows
-- preload checkin...
E:failed to mount /preload (No such file or directory)
Data wipe complete.
The phone is wiped and it seems to operate normally, but this error bugs me, anyone have any ideas? My assumption from looking around the web is that this phone has been rooted before, if so how do I reset things back to factory? How can I tell if it's still rooted?
FYI, I have updated to Lollipop and I am familiar with using ODIN. Once again this is a Note 4.
Thanks in advance...

Hi, I was trying to install an ICS ROM on my Nexus S i9020a last night, and I must have messed something up. The ROM installed but it just hung on the google logo. So I went back into recovery (CWM 3.0.0.5) to restore my nandroid backup but I got:
E:format_volume: no MTD partition "boot"
Error while formatting BOOT : !
E:Failed to find "cache" partition to mount at " /cache"
E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/last_log
E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/last_log
E:Can't find misc
E:failed to find "cache" partiton to mount at " /cache"
I don't know much about what these things, but I imagine the seemingly missing cache is the problem. I cannot mount or format the cache either. I get similar errors. Flashing roms seems to 'work', but I still get the bootloop. Flashing img's does not work. "Installation aborted".
I have no idea what I can do to reverse this. At this point, I want to restore to stock. I hope I haven't done permanent damage. Can anyone please help me with this?
First try to upgrade to the latesy cwm. It had very much bugs fixed

Computer doesn't seem to recognize the phone in fastboot mode, can you link me to the a newer CWM zip so I can flash it in recovery?
I've got a problem with my Samsung i9003.
It goes to the Samsung Logo with the backround Sound and keeps rebooting then forever.
I also can't access the Recovery Mode whenever I try to get there it says:"Power Reset or Unknown Upload Mode".
However I can enter the download mode but whenever I flash a new ROM there is the following Error Message after the Bootlogo:
E:failed to mount /data (No such file or directory)

E:failed to mount /sdcard (File exists)

May be a problem with the custom ROM. Try reinstalling the stock firmware first.
I was on Android 4.4.2, and was going to sideload the 4.4.3 update. I went into recovery, moved one step below the sideload update option, and landed on clear cache. My volume up button wouldn't take me back up to the ADB Sideload option, so I figured clearing the cache would bring me back up to the top. The phone was stuck on the "Wiping cache..." loading bar for 20 minutes until I finally force rebooted it. On completing the reboot, my phone wouldn't connect to the cell network, and all of my gapps crashed. I tried going back into recovery, and got errors saying;
E:failed to mount /cache (Invalid argument)
E:can't mount /cache/recovery/log
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/log
E:failed to mount /cache (Invalid argument)
I really don't know how to go forward from here, so I'm hoping somebody can point me in the right direction. Thanks!

If bootloader is unlocked, try flashing the cache file from the ktu84m package.

Sadly, the bootloader is locked.
This same thing happened to me the other day. I ended up having to reflash the factory image

the cache partition got messed up because you didn't let it finish the cache formatting process.
Head over to the stock recovery and keep formatting the cache partition few times.. If it gives the same error, erase it again!
I've faced similar errors and formatting cache a few times solved it!

Happen to me this morning as well. Just let be until completed. Should take approximately 10-15 minutes. Be patient. :victory:
My phone started going slow, so I wanted to do a factory settings reset. Android recovery mode, I press on wipe data/factory reset and it says E: failed to mount /preload (No such file or directory). Read a bit about this issue and many people said to reinstall firmware. I downloaded latest firmware from the web and installed it using Odin, no issues with installation or anything and then when I go back to android recovery and press on wipe data/ factory reset I get the same thing: E: failed to mount /preload (No such file or directory). I don't know what to do, I'm desperate, my phone is a brick now.
