As per the title. I was using it just happily on the bus when it froze. After pulling the battery, it just vibrated three times and the red led flashed. I don't recall what I was doing at the time but it was something harmless - reading email I think - I was quite surprised at this otherwise super stable phone freezing.
Until this time I was happily running CM7nightly 35 (approx) with lastest Pershoot kernel, OCd to around 1200MHz.
I can power up in Clockwork mod recovery 3.0.0.5 and have tried restoring various backups I have and tried reflashing CM7RC4. Trying a regular boot just sticks on the white HTC screen.
When in Clockwork mod it complains:
E:Can't open: /cache/recovery/log
E:Can't open: /cache/recovery/log
E:Can't open: /cache/recovery/last_log
E:Can't open: /cache/recovery/last_log
I tried formatting it but it still complains afterwards.
Error formatting /cache!
ARGH!
I would love some suggestions please.
EDIT: Now I see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=949733 which seems identical. I will follow up there. Please do the same if you have suggestions.

I had been running the leaked ICS for a couple of weeks, when after a short fall (1 ft) my Iconia A100 failed to boot. After a power - volume up keypress, I eventually get the following errors:
E:Can't open /dev/block/mmcblk0p5
(No such file or directory)
E:failed to mount /cache (no such file or directory)
E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/command
E:failed to mount /cache (no such file or directory)
E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/log
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/log

E:Can't open /cache/recovery/last_install
E:Can't open /dev/block/mmcblk0p5
(No such file or directory)
E:failed to mount /cache (no such file or directory)
Then the Android system recovery utility appears. I can navigate up/down using the volume rocker, but nothing selects any of the options (reboot_system_now, apply_update_from_external_storage etc.
USB drivers do not recognize device, and when I try to boot normally (power button) it gets stuck on the first ACER logo.
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
You could try resetting it with the small hole at the base. You could also try placing the ICS update.zip on your external sd card, then booting into recovery.
I have tried both the pinhole reset - just turns off unit. Also tried ics leak as update.zip on sdcard but I can't get the unit to update. I can get to the recovery screen and toggle between the options but I can it to select anything. I've also tries the power - volume down then orientation lock switch. That process flashes text in screen (erasing cache?) But no change.
Thanks

Make sure the file has the correct name. Just name it update since it is already a zip file to avoid the "double zip" file extension.

If you are seeing text on the screen about erasing cache, you are in the right spot. I've had my tablet sit by seemingly doing nothing for 5+ minutes after starting a hard reset and then it pops up with the configuration screen. Try again the hard reset. You are on the right track.
The text goes away quickly, reboot and then stuck on Acer screen.
How should the selection for recovery screen be? I can toggle between menu items but not select one.

That is what I thought and have done in the past. The power button does nothing during selection but eventually power the unit off (and on again etc). Thanks

Try 'slapping' the device few times.
My A100 hardware buttons (power, volume, rotation) and front camera doesn't work after a short ball, and slapping the device back (precisely, on the back, beside the camera, near the volume button) few times gets those function back, the front camera now works again.
Thanks for the tip. Will give it try.

If you have managed to get the CPU ID, you can restore from EUU (APX mode). But if you don't have your CPU ID, I think you can't do much, just like me.
I sent my A100 to ACSC (Acer Customer Service Center) after trying to restore from EUU, but the EUU begs for the CPU ID, which I don't know.
help me pls
i have the same problem...my recovery does not install update.zip patches and power key does not select any opition...

i have the same problem...my recovery does not install update.zip patches and power key does not select any option...
pls tell me what to do..
After install with ODIN 4.34, when i boot in cwm, it shows me this messages:
"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

So, i found similar cases in the web, but mine is different....this apears and when I select any option, this messages are re-inserted. But, when I close the qwerty and press the home button, cwm closes and its boots normally...so, cwm gives me an error and i still using the phone. so, looks like cwm wasnt there...and in the posts i found every phone with this problem in cwm bootloops...
what can i do? maybe was an error in the version of cwm? I read about the way the sd is formated...i really wanna know to finally install...
Ah, and yes, i rooted the phone and No, rom manager was not used. gingerbread 2.3.6 stock.
This exactly happen to me today with the 551 of my girlfriend, Any Solution? same case!

This will only occur in Stock Samsung Gingerbread ROM , it will be fine if you install custom rom for your device
Cheers !
Error...in Mounting
CWM Give this Error Because it is in Compatible with the stock as the stock does not support external mounting in recovery an act as safety to prevent user delete stock firmware......
So I reflashed DU after trying out CM 10.1 for a couple weeks and suddenly my phone freezes. After rebooting, my phone doesn't get past the Galaxy S2 logo so I decided to start up recovery and in recovery mode I notice several errors appear.
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
In recovery I wasn't able to reflash the rom or even restore my backup! I then decide to restore to EL29 using Odin OC root but now it's stuck at Set Partition. I've retried Odin in different usb ports and with different cables and nothing changes. Does anyone have any Ideas as to what has happened and a fix for this?

I understand you are in a jam, but there is really no need to start a new thread for this if you post the same question on the noob friendly q&a. I have put a suggestion for you in there. I hope it helps. And if it doesn't, please let me know in the q&a and we'll try something else. Kennyglass123 my good friend, feel free to delete this if you'd like

Hi,
I’ve been a lurker here on XDA and thanks to the great posts here have been happy with my DInc for much longer than expected :good:. I was hoping to post on the Incredikernal page as I think I am running Incredikernal (unless it got replaced when I flashed a new PB31IMG) but do not have enough posts yet. I Hope you can help with my current problem.
Current state:
After my DInc got stuck on the white HTC Incredible screen and trying to restore a nandroid backup failed (see History below), I flashed the stock Froyo PB31IMG from pvillecomp (outside link deleted) and flash in HBOOT directions on that site. The DInc booted up into Froyo 2.2.
I then tried to flash the stock Gingerbread image from that site, but the DInc got stuck in a loop (Droid screen, HTC screen, Droid screen…)
I then flashed back stock Froyo.
I then tried to install ClockWorkMod 5.0.2.0 via HBOOT, with file renamed to PB31IMG (per the instructions on androidforums
incredible-all-things-root/420788-how-regain-root-s-off-htc-unlocked-bootloader.html )
When I get into CWM, I get the following "errors":
ClockworkMod Recovery v5.0.2.0
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
When I tried to install Superuser per step 6 of that thread, I get the error E:Can’t mount /sdcard/
I thought maybe I needed to run the 5 Vibs of Death fix (SD Card fix (fastboot oem enable qxdm 0) and USB but given that my PC can read the SD card while it is in the DInc (Disk Drive under Connection Type with USB Cable plugged in) my thought is that this isn’t the problem.
Then I thought maybe I need to root the DInc using Unrevoked3 since it is on Froyo 2.2.
Then I thought maybe I need to work on the partitions, using Parted.
Now I am wondering if I should just leave well enough alone (at least my DInc is working again ), but thought I would ask here first. If I can't regain root, at least I would like to get Stock Gingerbread to work.
Any guidance is much appreciated!
Thanks,
Al
History:
I rooted my device years ago, but don’t remember if I used Unrevoked3. My DInc has s-off, and the Convert2Ext4_no_data_limit_normal_dalvik mod.
I had been running incredikernal and Tiny’s CM10.1 Inc builds happily for a long time, but after one of the updates the DInc started acting unstable, and so tried CM7.2, then wanted to try Jelly Bean and so tried Evervolv 4.3, but felt it was missing basic features (voicemail notification, etc), so went back to CM7.2.
While playing music via Bluetooth (phone plugged in to a 5v 1200ma charger if that matters), the phone suddenly died – when powering on it got stuck at the White HTC Incredible screen.
When powering on while pressing the Volume Down button I get:
INCREDIBLEC XD SHIP S-off
HBOOT-0.92.0000
MICROP-0417
Touch Panel-atmelc03_16ac
Radio-2.15.00.07.28
July 23, 2010 18:06:51
When I go to recovery I got the ClockworkMod Recovery v5.0.2.0 Blue menu.
After this menu I got the following errors:
ClockworkMod Recovery v5.0.2.0
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
When I go to mounts and storage I get:
Mount sdcard - Error mounting /sdcard!
Mount emmc – Error mounting /sdcard!
Update:
I've regained root using Unrevoked3. Still got "can't mount" errors in CWM.
Then tried to fix the SD card mounting problem using the "fastboot oem enableqxdm 0" command. Still getting "can't mount" errors in CWM,
but a different set of errors than before:
ClockworkMod Recovery v2.5.1.2
E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 (File exists)
E:Can't mount /cache:recovery/command
E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 (File exists)
E:Can't mount /cache:recovery/log
E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 (File exists)
Still working on it...

Some phones don't like 1click rooting. Have you tried the command prompt method?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1600904
gyro_platter, thanks for the suggestion. Since my original post I have been able to re-gain root using unrevoked3. It took a few tries, but after removing CWM recovery I was successful.
Al
so you were able to install whatever gingerbread ROM you wanted? or does the problem still persist.
Hi Trozzul, thanks for the inquiry.
The problem still persists. Frankly, I have been trying to solve the "can't mount" problems first. No luck on that front yet either. I have created a new, hopefully clearer, post that reflects the current state of my various problems. Please see

I saw those exact symptoms on a phone a friend gave me to fix. My conclusion was hardware failure of the emmc (as I posted in response to another post of yours). I was able to get root on it by pushing the su binary and superuser.apk to their correct locations via adb and fixing their permissions, but froyo was the only rom that would flash. It was in service here until a few days ago when it got dropped into water. When I got around to it, I was gonna give this hack a go:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2175346&page=3
It's a way to completely install the ROM on an sdcard and not use the emmc at all. But since the water incident I think that inc is toast.
musical_chairs,
Thanks for the input. I suspect that my emmc might be bad also. The link you provided looks promising, but it looks like the zip file that Tiny created only works with AOSP ROMs. The only ROM I can get to boot is the standard HTC Froyo ROM, which is Sense. I will study that possibility further.
Thanks again,
Al

yeah i saw that too i think it only works with AOSP, i think the problem might be your recovery, i saw that you used two different versions, 5.0.x.x and 2.5.x.x, have you tried the latest, 6.0.X.X? not sure if our ol dinc is update able to 6.0.x.x, i would try another custom recovery too, i know my inc has some flashing issues on CWM
To limit confusion, please use the newer thread. Closed.

Hey guyyyss, I'm begging for help. I'm currently using CM11 TeamCanjica Build11 on my device. It worked fine for 2 weeks, but suddenly yesterday when I want to turn it on, it wont start, its stucked at CM11 Logo, I tried to go on Recovery Mode (CWM), but it said like this :
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
I've tried re-flashing the STOCKROM (after wipe data, wipe cache, wipe dalvik), the ODIN process is successed, but still it can start, i even tried to flash STOCKROM MB4 (with PIT and CSC files too), and even tried to flash it BACK to GB, but it still stuck on CM11 logo (how could it be still CM11 logo since i've flash it many times with stockrom, i thought it should be samsung logo.)
Does anyone know how I can fix this? Even Samsung Service Centre said that they cant fix this up, heeeelp :'(
