I wanted to update from Android 2.3.5 to 4. I rooted my phone properly, and that went fine with Superuser elite. Because of upgrading, I installed CWM 5.0.2.7 via Odin. In the background CWM shows errors:
Code:
Cannot mount /cache!
And errors like that. I formatted microSD card, inserted it back, formatted it. The errors are still here. Because of the left cache folder, I couldn't install Android 4. I followed all guides on Internet, the problem is still here. I thought newer version of CWM will solve it, and I downloaded version 6 and flashed it through Odin(WHY?:crying. Now I cannot go to download mode or CWM, I am stuck at SAMSUNG logo when I boot the phone. Any help will be very appreciated. :highfive: The last thing I would do is to go to shop and request a new one, because my warranty expired in February. It's cost is 210 euro. This is the second time I almost bricked my device.
I'm trying this.

EDIT: ADB cannot see my device! I also tried Heimdall, but with no luck. This means I am screwed? Hope not!!

cwm doesn't support RFS . so you should format cache and data partition before installing custom ROMs.
goto recovery and do this:
wipe data/reset
advanced-> wipe dalvik cache
install zip from sdcard -> choose ROM file
wipe data/reset
advanced-> wipe dalvik cache
reboot

But, the real problem is: I cannot go to CWM or download mode! Also, I cannot format cache via CWM because of the errors in first post.

try usb jig! google it .
when you connect usb jig to your phone an alternative download mode start and you can flash a stock rom via odin!
i hope this works for you.

OK. I though to do it this way:
1. Buy USB jig.
2. Go to download mode.
3. Flash TWRP with Odin.
4. Install Android 2.3.6.
5. Flash CWM via Odin.
6. Fix cache problem somehow.
7. Install Android 4! Yay!
For the step 6, how can I fix the cache error?

NOOOO! you should install TWRP with custom recovery, NOT Odin! don't do same mistake again.
this is the proccess:
1- buy usb jig and connect it to your phone.
2- flash Stock Firmware(it must be 2.3.x) with odin! (you can download stock firmwares from samfirmware.com)
3- flash this with odin:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1339640
it's most stable recovery that we have!
4-wipe data/reset
advanced-> wipe dalvik cache
5-install zip from sdcard -> choose ROM file
6-wipe data/reset
advanced-> wipe dalvik cache
7-reboot
and now you have android 4! yeah
Stock Roms have RFS partition type and our custom recovery doesn't support RFS so that mount problem appears. but you can format partitions again and convert partition to Ext4. just do step 4 .

CWM can convert to ext4? I thought that only TWRP can do that.

yes it can.it's like formating your Usb pen drive . just go to cwm5 and wipe data/reset and wipe dalvik cache and install android 4 zip file.

i made one and it worked for me . i hope work for you too.
i heard that samsung changed bootloader so you can't reset number of flashes any more. you said your warranty expired in February! so why do you want to do that??

Thanks. I will buy one as soon as possible. For the bootloader, I am just curios. Thank you for great answers!
I solved it this way. I went to service and they somehow installed Android 2.3.6. Now I partitioned my 8 GB SD card via CWM and currently I am trying PAC-man ROM(S) from this forum. I will post what will happen.
Still no luck.

Custom ROMs, such as CM usually come as zip files, which have to be flashed in custom recovery. Not in Odin or Mobile Odin app.
Check this official CM thread: [ROM][GT-N7105][JB][4.3.0] CyanogenMod 10.2 official nightly builds // discussion.
In the first post, you can find a detailed installation guide.
Flashing the ROM correctly should fix the issue ... if you have a custom recovery.
If not, you will need to flash with PC version of Odin.
For more information, please register on xda and ask in the [NOOB FRIENDLY] Ask the question! [N7100 and other variants] thread.

Hopefully someone can help me, my child has a Pendo Pad 7 Model no.PNDPP44QC7 with Kitkat 4.4 and it ended up with lots of malware/viruses and barely usable. This tablet only has a power button and no other buttons so I did not know how to boot into recovery mode to do factory reset and after trying reset through settings which made no difference so I gave the device ROOT access so I could try and delete the malware etc but of course i did not do any sort of backup and did not add CWM or TWRP recovery. I ended up deleting something wrong and now the device just hangs on the Pendo logo screen. I have since worked out how to boot into Recovery Mode and also Fastboot mode now but a bit too late I tried to do a wipe data/factory reset and this made no difference still hangs on Pendo logo.
I can't seem to find a CWM or TWRP image file to suit the tablet and possibly try putting tablet into fastboot mode and using ADB on computer and flash the recovery to tablet. ???
in recovery mode options i get are
apply update from ADB
apply update from sdcard
apply update from cache
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
backup user data
restore user data
but i can not seem to find any correct files to work with this tablet any help to get this tablet working again would be much appreciated Thanks

My Sero 7 (UK) is stuck at logo screen. I can boot to recovery (after I have disconnected the battery and reconnected back). The recovery menu offers:
Apply update from ADB
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
Apply update from sdcard
The device is not rooted. Is it still possible to install Philz Touch Recovery in order to install DoPa v2.51?
Greatly appreciated if anyone can help.
I have posted this on the Q&A section of another forum:

Not sure if it is being monitored.

Greetings,
Thank you for using XDA Assist. If you haven't already, I'd recommend using the wipe cache partition choice first, then rebooting. If that doesn't work, you should do the factory reset. You'll lose your data but you may have a working device. Which you clearly don't at the moment. Any further questions can be posted here:
Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting
Good luck!
