E:failed to open /etc.recovery.fstab

E:unknown volume for path cache/recovery/command
E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/command
Not sure what to do, I a running CWM 5.0.2.3 . When I boot the phone it just stays on the screen with the yellow exclamation point. When I boot into recovery, I get the errors above. It won't let me do anything. When I try to install zip it says "E:Can't mount /sdcard/"
Any suggestions?

got it working.
Formatted SD Card and that didn't work
Reflashed (Odin) CWM and did update for root
Downloaded Rom and flashed it.
Not sure what happened to cause this.

what did you flash back? My friend is having the same problem....I don't know how he f-ed up. Suggestions anyone? Should I tell him to flash stock kernal back in odin?

I'm having the same issue, how did you fix this? I cant flash because I cant mount the sdcard

[Q] Recovery mode ... error ?!?

Hello,
I tryed to enter the recovery mode on my galaxy nexus by turning off->
turning on by keeping pressed vol up+vol down+power button. So far it's ok, i navigate to recovery by the volume keys, select recovery mode->power button.
After that my phone goes to a screen with an android logo with a triangle but nothing else appears...
Also if I leave it on that screen it boots to android by itself after about 1-2 min.
Is that normal?
Btw the phone is on 4.0.4 IMM76D GSM.
Thanks!

It's normal. With the stock recovery you have to press vol. up and power again at that screen to bring up the menu. You may have to do it a few times.

Thanks. It actually worked.
I come from SGS2 and i got a little confused with the Nexus.
Is there a way to root it without changing the bootloader/kernel ?
On SGS2 i used this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1501719 and it worked fine.
Is there a similar way for galaxy nexus?
I want to change the on-screen button images.

Hi El Daddy!
I need some help over here.
I tried flashing JRN84D according to @efrant's guide (he's offline atm so I can't reach him ). (Link: forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=28178320&postcount=2)
All went okay until I tried to flash the last zip file in step 12. It starts installing and then aborts giving a Status 1 error :S Installation aborted!!!
And when I try to reboot it just keeps booting to CWM.
Please help! Awaiting your reply!
I don't have any backups (i'm really worried about this)
EDIT: Everything's sorted

If you're seeing an android laying on its back with its chest open, then you're in the boot loader menu. If you use the volume button to switch through the options there should be restart boot loader, reboot recovery, and reboot system. If you have cwm on your phone and that's what you're trying to get to you need to select reboot recovery option and press the power button to load cwm

thanks for the reply, but my situation might be a little diff than the op. i cannot manually enter recovery (doing what you suggested) as well as holding power, in android, and selecting reboot into recovery. on the contrary, i can install .zip files from gnex toolkit on PC using recovery

Why are you continuously reviving DEAD threads that havent had any action in a year, in sections for devices that you dont even own!?
STOP!
go to your own forum or a general help forum. Nexus 7 and galaxy Nexus forums are for those devices only!

T889V stuck in download mode (firmware upgrade encountered an issue)

My dad's Wind Note 2 (SGH-T889V) is stuck in download mode with the error message "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again."
He told me he left it to charge overnight and when he woke up, it was just a black screen with a blue led light. He couldn't accept calls or turn the screen on so after about an hour, he pulled out the battery and put it back in. Then the error message came up with no led light.
I tried using kies, but I have no recovery code. And if I try the firmware upgrade, after it succeeds, it just reboots to the same error message.
I used it before and had rooted and flashed some custom ROMs on it, but when I gave it to my dad, I returned to stock and unrooted. The method I followed was to download the stock odin flashable firmware and flash through odin.
So now I have been trying to flash the stock firmware using the same method. For other people who have this error, apparently that is supposed to fix it. But even after it passes in odin, the phone just reboots straight back to the same error message.
I have also tried to flash clockworkmod recovery through odin and after it passes, it shows the Samsung logo (not animation) and just stays there.
Flash counter is at 4 I think, so I don't want to send it in for them to fix.
I am pretty sure the battery is getting drained when the phone is supposed to be off. When I pull the battery, put it back in and then leave it overnight, in the morning I have to charge it up before I can turn it on.
So here is the situation:
With stock image and stock recovery flashed:
- trying to boot regularly gives the error (download mode)
- trying to boot to recovery gives same error (download mode)
- trying to boot to download mode succeeds with no error
With stock image and clockworkmod recovery flashed:
- trying to boot regularly shows the error message (download mode)
- trying to boot to recovery hangs at the Samsung logo
- trying to boot to download mode succeeds with no error
Image showing all the screens I have been able to get to..
I have tried this using linux + heimdall and xp + odin as well as windows 7 + odin. Heimdall was a little confusing for me though, so I didn't follow through with it.. If anyone has detailed instructions on how to use it with the T889(V) Note 2, I could try.
If you have any idea about how I could solve this, please let me know. Thanks

HI, sorry for your troubles ... The pic i attached, will work the same as download mode.. Can you link me the file you flashed in odin please

Yeah, I have tried different cables in different usb ports on different computers running different operating systems. I downloaded the file twice.
I could not factory reset before flashing because I could not boot to android, or get into recovery mode

I downloaded CF-Auto-Root but didn't flash it yet. Instead, I noticed that the instructions said to disconnect usb, start odin, enter download mode, connect usb and then continue. I guess I hadn't been disconnecting and reconnecting before because I just tried doing that with the stock image and cwm and I got into cwm.
However I cannot really do anything because I am getting the following error in cwm:
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 get similar "Can't mount " errors when going into mounts and storage and trying to mount anything.
I have a feeling there is something wrong with the partition table? Do I need to check re-partition? Will I need a .pit file?
I want to try and flash stock or cf-auto-root with re-partition checked and see if that fixes anything, but I think I would need a .pit file.. @deeznuts1977, what do you think?

No re partition. That will cause problems. Cf is Odin flashable as for the errors there logs don't worry too much about that now..... Try using twrp. It's much better and more stable imo

Crap, I have no clue what to do now. I flashed cf-auto-root and then it just turned off. I don't think the battery was dead because 20 minutes before in cwm I saw percentage to be around 60%. Now I can't turn the phone on at all with any combination. Tried a different battery too. Odin said the flash passed too..
