[Q] Can someone help me unbrick my phone? (I think it's bricked) - Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So about 5 months ago, i was doing something on my Dinc and something went horribly wrong. I was too lazy to try to fix it and i wanted a new phone so i got a droid charge. Now, i want to try to fix it and use it as an mp3 player and for games. Can someone help me? When i boot the phone, it goes to the white screen with options "bootloader, reboot, reboot bootloader, and power down (androids skating at the bottom)" when i go to bootloader, then recovery, i get the htc incredible screen, then to cwm. But when i use the power button
to select an option, the screen goes black, and if i press it again, it goes back to the main menu. And on the bottom, it says
ClockwordMod Recovery v2.5.0.5
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/mmcblk0p2
(File exists)
And i believe my phone is S-on. Is there any way to just reset EVERYTHING?
Thank you in advance.
EDIT: I forgot that you don't use the power button to select on the Dinc -.-, but when i select, for example clear cache or clear data, it says
E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p2

Try flashing the s-off tool through cwm and that should gain you access to the internal memory. http://unrevoked.com/rootwiki/doku.php/public/forever

Do not use the power button to select, you use the trackball to select items and power to go back. If you hit power wile on the main menu, the screen will go black, press it again and the menu will come back. As for the errors it sounds like you may need to fastboot flash the misc partition. I would first try reflashing cwm recovery thru hboot and then wipe everything thru recovery and flash a rom and see if it works. You are s-off right?

Yea i got confused with the droid charge and used the power button to try to select. And my Dinc is s-on.

are you able to flash .zip files through recovery such as superuser or unrevoked forever (s-off tool), or do you get the same type of response?

nope... i cant flash anything. Is there a program like Odin for the Droid Charge for the Dinc?

i have just tried using RUU and it keeps saying to check the usb connection. i think its because i cannot get into the main os... Can anyone supply me a nandroid backup file so i can try that?

Use a PB31IMG.zip ruu thru hboot. http://dinc.does-it.net/Stock_Images/4.06.605.3/PB31IMG.zip. Place that file on your sdcard in no folders. Then power off the phone and hold vol down and power untill a white screen appears (hboot). It will find the file and prompt you to press vol up to install.

Try placing this on the root of your SD and boot into hboot. It is the most recent gingerbread PB31IMG.zip and should get you back to 2.3.4 and if you so choose, you can reroot and go from there.

woops, sorry I didn't see cmlusco had given you the same thing. Try his first and then try mine if you don't have any luck. They're probably the same file though.

I already tried those files from http://pvillecomp.com/ with no luck. I'll try these and reply back.
EDIT: I tried it and it seemed to work in the beginning then it says
Main Version is older
Update Fail!
Do you want to reboot device?
VOL UP Yes
VOL DOWN No

Are you s-off? Have you tried reflashing cwm recovery?

Are you able to communicate to your phone through adb? if you are, then I would suggest using the following information written by scotty85 to help to temporarily unlock your bootloader so you can flash the "older version"

You would want to start with "step 4 - downgrade with adb"

[Q] Stuck at white Htc screen

You could try flashing a different recovery or the stock rom? Just involves booting into the bootloader and installing that way. You can get the files from www.dougpiston.com

follow the wiki!
if recovery didnt flash right see if you have fastboot in bootloader and reflash it. also double check that hboot flashed correctly by verifying the version with the wiki.
always always follow the wiki. ive never had to downgrade yet so i dont know what it consists of other than getting you back to stock 1.34 or lower. pm me if you need more advice.

[Q] E:Can't open CACHE:recovery/log

In recovery i get this error message: E:Can't open CACHE:recovery/log
Also,
I tried to install a zip from the sdcard and i get this: E:Can't mount SDCARD:update.zip
Anyone have any ideas.
I am running WinVista Ultimate x64
tried different recovery?
I don't know any other recovery method.
err what? lol
go to my guide and look at flashing custom recovery. See if problem persists.
move recovery log to sd and manually flash zip.

How are these relevant?
Do you have a PVT4 Desire? What is your recovery etc.
Try giving us USEFUL info

I have updated my signature, hopefully the rest of the info you need is there, if not let us know. Thanks
Use fastboot to flash new recovery. If you want to know how to this, check bortak's guide. He did not wrote because he was bored.
I managed to find a recovery.img from somewhere and i'm back in recovery mode. But I still have these errors i'm faced with.
E:Can't find MISC:
E:Can't mount CACHE:recovery/command
E:Can't find MISC:
E:Can't mount CACHE:recovery/log
E:Can't find MISC:
As soon as this is sorted i can then find out why i can't format or mount the system, i won't be able to re-install my rom otherwise.
Was it really necessary to create another thread with same problem?
Which recovery did you flash?
Please post information from your Hboot! You get there if you turn your phone off, and press and hold first volume down and then power button for a few seconds. It's a white screen with three androids at the bottom and the import information is top left.

Problem with flashing inc2

Hi, I have a Droid Incredible 2 that I rooted and installed a custom rom on, and everything went great for a about a week, then suddenly one day it just rebooted and would not go past the HTC screen. Now if I turn it on it just sits at the white HTC screen and does nothing. I can go in to recovery and it displays these errors:
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 first tried to do wipe data/factory reset and install a new rom, but every rom I try to install fails.
If I go to mounts and storage and try to format something I get an error, for example if I go to format /cache then I get:
Formatting /cache...
Error formatting /cache!
I get the same result not matter what I try to format from there. If I do wipe cache partition from the main menu it says it completed. If I do wipe Dalvik cache the screen scrolls and says nothing, does not say if it worked or didnt work. If I run Fix permissions is just says Done!
Lastly I tried to reflash recovery through ADB, it will do the first part (writing the file) and say OK! But when it gets to the second part it just sits there... and does nothing... I left it for over an hour and nothing. I have to pull the battery from the phone at this point.
So now I am at a loss of what to do since nothing wants to flash to it?

[Q] Some Questions to Bricked a100

Hi guys, my friend had the iconia a100 and it was bricked, i read some post here in xda about the brick issue of iconia a100 but got some different encounter from this
i tried going to recovery and got these showing up:
Erasing cache before SD update...
SD update cmd: recovery -
update_package=SDCARD:update.zip
Booting kernel recovery image
and after that a Android Standing up shows up with a green orb on its stomach and after that a Dead Android lying down shows up,
and got this error also
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

my friend said that he didnt do anything, but i doubt that he or someone else from his family had done something, like having the tablet update to ics,
my questions guys is that is it totaly bricked? it looks like its looking for a "update.zip" and where to download it?

Its bricked, cache is gone and its the first sign its happening, its the exact same signs as 99% of a100 users get when its bricked. The other 1% are battery related/user error/straight to APX mode.

It cant mount anything, there's a huge thread dedicated to this.
You can try whatever you wish, but its not likely to do much more then waste time.

You may want to also read the thread. Adb can't fix it. Flashing a ROM can't fix it. Its going to die. Quite a few of us have gone through it, familiarizing yourself with a device is a good idea before assuming a standard answer is correct.
