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:failed to mount /cache (no such file or directory)
E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/last_log
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/last_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.

Press power button to select an option

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

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.
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

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

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 :'(

Hi XDA ppl, I'm desperate enough with my SGN2 so I decided to make a thread here.
It all begin with my apps (some of them are BBM, Adobe Air, Livescore) crashed and suddenly disappear.
Tried to reinstall, Play Store said an error code (I forgot) and google it. Turns out I need to root my phone and delete /data/com.bbm and another folders to reinstall BBM and another disappeared apps.
Rooted, open ES File Explorer with root permission, and unfortunately I can't delete those folders but somehow I still can rename it, then reinstall BBM.
A few days later, my phone randomly restart and when I noticed, it takes longer boot time everytime it randomly restart (I have startup manager installed and it reports startup/boot time).
At last, my phone randomly restart, again, while charging. Can't get past Samsung Galaxy Note II splash screen, but I can get it into recovery mode and odin mode (download mode).
Here's the condition:
Stuck at Samsung Galaxy Note II splash screen
ABLE to enter ODIN mode
ABLE to enter recovery mode (PhilZ 6.48.4 with CWM 6.0.5.0)
Detected by ODIN3 v3.09
Code:
PhilZ showing:
E: could not mount /data to setup /data/media path!
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
Tried to flash with odin, ended up with NAND Write Start, FAIL! and sometimes at my phone screen (at download mode screen) show error report like "magic string" or something.
PIT Re-partition >> Failed (odin never said "No PIT Partition")
Format /cache >> E: format_volume: make_extf4fs failed on /dev/block/mmcblk0p12
Can't mount /system /cache /preload /data and even /sdcard (internal storage), but it can read my external storage. I can even see my microSD contain using PhilZ' mount USB storage feature.
Essentially, everything that I tried ended up with mounting problem, sdcard problem, can't find specific path, and etc.
And I suspect that I have emmc insane/SDS on my phone.
Any solution for my phone? Any helps appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
I installed clockworkmod recovery 6.0.5.1 via Odin, rooted my Samsung Galaxy s4 Mini and installed cyanogenmod 11 (from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2558685). Everything went fine, but when I enabled wifi connection my device freezed and when I removed the battery it wouldn't power on again: the display didn't light up and it wouldn't even vibrate.
After a full night charge, the device turned on again, but it is stuck on the black screen with the white Samsung logo and a yellow writing saying "Set Warranty Bit: kernel".
I tried flashing the stock rom but it didn't work (https://samsung-firmware.org/download/Galaxy-S4-Mini-LTE/62n1/ITV/I9195XXUCOG1/I9195ITVCOG1/). I then tried installing another cyanogenmod, but the result didn't change, so I flashed different recoveries through Odin, but I can't get them work: I am stuck with the cwm 6.0.5.1 and can't change nor the recovery, nor the ROM.
In the download mode I can see "write protection: enable" on the top of the screen and if I enter in the cwm recovery I get on the bottom:
Code:
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
Do you have any ideas on how could I get it to work?
Thank you.

Yes I can, but the problem is that when I try to flash a ROM to boot android the recovery says that the installation is complete, but when I reboot nothing changed. Is there an effective way to replace this recovery and install a ROM? Thank you for your time.
Well nooby stuff - did you Clear dalvik cache and cache partition? and do the system and data wipe before flashing the rom?
