I had 2.1 and root / super root and now I have 2.2 and root. I am using Steal's Deodexed Stock Rom. All is good except when I reboot into HBOOT I get 0.79 which doesn't really let me do anything with options except Fastboot, Recovery, Clear Storage, Simlock and HBOOT USB. I go into Recovery.
I get the Red Triangle with a ! in it.
I hold down the vol up and power and I get the Android system recovery and down at the bottom it says E:Can't open /cache/recovery/command
The usual options with Android System Recovery such as reboot, apply sdcard:update.zip, wipe and wipe cache partition.
From here I can execute the windows-recovery.bat from a XP P.C. and get the menu that again says Android System Recovery only now I can usb toggle, Backup/Restore, Flash a zip, wipe, partition, other and power off.
It seems like I was able to get this latter menu before without the PC and windows-recovery.bat but now I can't.
Is this the way it works or am I missing something?
I have searched the forums several times and haven't really seen what might answer my question.
I do use Rom Manager (which I know doesn't work well for some people) and Titanium Backup.
Thanks
Okay so I have in my posession a Iconia A100 and it gets stuck at the white Acer logo. If I hold Vol Up & Power itll say:
Erasing Cache before SD Update...
SD update cmd: recovery
--update_package=SDCARD:uodate.zip
Booting recovery kernel image
It'll just hang there forever. I've tried putting a copy of stock ROM on the Sdcard and renaming it update.zip and it'll just hang there also.
Ive tried the reset button and nothing.
I really dont know what else to try, I'm new with messing with a A100.
The tab was fine, and was powered down normally and now it wont start.

Make sure you rename it to "update" (zip is the extension, not a part of the name). Also, make sure the file is placed in the root of your external SD card. If this still doesn't work, you could try resetting the tab via the pinhole.
Have you tried a factory reset? Note you will loose all your data on the internal.
With the tablet off, press the volume up (rocker farthest from the corner) and the power button until it vibrates, then release the power button and switch the screen lock back and forth until 'erasing user data' comes up (make sure the volume rocker gets held throughout the process).
Theonew, i tried that before and nothing.
Romman0, I just tried what you said and once Erasing user data pops up, it says something underneath it, and it goes off, vibrates and goes right back to the white Acer logo. It does all of this in less than 5 seconds...
Thanks for the suggestions so far guys
Im still stuck /:
Edit: it says erasing cache under erasing user data and then reboots quickly

It failed because it cannot see your SD Card. Check that it is freshly formatted (FAT32) and is inserted completely. Also make sure that your device is charged, it might turn the card slot off to save power.
Hello forum Seniors
I have a problem with my a100 device, I searched for days a solution, but had no success.
I bought this device with original HC and updated with ACER_AV041_A100_0.002.00_ww_GEN1 ICS rom, to this point everything working.
everything worked, boot recovery/gps/games/ics/ everything
And I used it for a long time. Then I reseted the device.
And the problem began.
the device does not turn over.
I can START fastboot, but it dont sync with pc (I got drivers instaled)
I can START recovery, but dont install nothing ( I think my recovery is damaged)
I hope that there is a solution. But have not found any yet.
my recovery does not install or mount sdcard and external sd
when I enter, I see a red triangle with a dead android
I PRESS HOME key and recovery list this

That's recovery. Its saying recovery doesn't exist. If you can wait for a bit I'm working on fixing this but its going slow as some people aren't as clear about whats happening as you are, I was chasing a fix that didn't even need fixing, thank you. Its either something different and new, or its something thats been happening this whole time, but no one mentioned the error output aside from the update.zip failure.
I'll begin work on this new issue, and hopefully it can be fixed with the rest. The other devices seem to have recovery, however it seems it only works in CWM or TWRP, you seem to have stock recovery. I would suggest maybe trying to install CWM from HERE. Follow the instructions exactly and see if you can flash the CWM recovery and get into that. Please report back if this works or not, and what happens when you try.

thank you and sorry my inglish
Your english is fine, don't worry
Ok, so previously mmcblk0p1 was NOT found, now it IS found? Well thats better then nothing. I've seen this on another device, though it was cache that was mounting and not mounting at almost random times.
I've been tracking this as far as I can, and it appears the A100 shares an issue with the A500 (and maybe A200?) that results in a bad sector(s) and must be partitioned around. If this is the actual cause, its a hardware failure, not software, and isn't anything you did, it just died.
This explains the string of bricks that seem to occur out of nowhere.
My original method was to DD a working image to the device, completely restoring the partition with a clone of my working system, cache, recovery, etc. However if its a damaged EMMC, this will not work either. This also explains why past attempts have failed on other devices that I've tried helping with off the forum.
As I can emulate a "bricked" device, I don't have a device with this actual issue to diagnose and attempt to fix, my device doesn't have this problem. I'm not real sure I can proceed much farther until either my device does this bad sector thing, or I get my hands on a device that is already bricked and begin finding the method to repair it.
Ok..now dealing with what DOES work...
==========================================================
Android system recovery <3e>
Android system recovery utility
reboot system now
apply update from external storage
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
apply update from cache
=========================================================
have you tried selecting any of these options? Highlight with volume, and hit power to select, try from
apply update from external storage and record what it says (hopefully it just installs and your're good to go)
then
apply update from cache and again record what it says, hopefully it works fine.
then
wipe data/factory reset and again record what it says
then
wipe cache partition and record what it says
Do these in the order I mentioned, only doing the next if it fails. If it does install, don't do the rest, just report back success and what you did, in the order you did it, to get it going again.
Edit: Oh and reboot after each selection if it fails, and reboot into that menu again.
This is the problem, can't select any option
I select a option with VOLUME key, put cursor on apply updade from external storage so i hit power
And nothing happens.
If i hold power, device force power off...
Power key work perfect, only in recovery dont work...
Thank you
My friend have the same device with the same update 0.002.0_WW_GEN1, his device work normaly, when i go into recovery, I cant select any option too
I think if i reset his device, this cant boot to...i dont try it
I can upload video in youtube for you, if it help u see my case.
Ok, if power doesn't work on either device, try the home button. It's been so long since I ran stock recovery I may have gotten the buttons mixed up with CWM recovery, which uses Power as Enter. And good call on not doing anything on the other device, you never know. It shouldn't cause issues, but just in case, don't. We don't know exactly what is causing this, and if its anything like the hardbrick bug in some Samsung devices, anything can trigger it if it happens in the right order or time.
pio_masaki
Recovery does not select options when press power /home/reset/volumes
I need a guide for use EUUs_SBK rom, I have my CPUID
And in my friend's device, how i back to original hc?
Recovery have the same problem does not intall update.zip, if I install the CWM, Can I do official update to back original state? I really need back to factory rom and recovery.
Thank you for help
If the device is having issues, I wouldn't suggest going back to HC, it can only cause more problems. If you run the official update.zip it returns back to how it came from Acer, stock recovery, locked bootloader and unrooted stock ICS.
The EUU and SBK stuff has been attempted before and failed. Its in various threads with the same bricking issues, and doesn't seem to help, or work. At this point I think NVFLash is about the only option we have left to try to bring these back from a bricked state. Sadly Acer decided to try to lock out NVFLash, so it'll take some time to see if it will work with our A100s. Vache has the NVFlash config files, so its a start, it may work it may not, however I can't test much as my device doesn't have this bricking issue, so any testing on my a100 doesn't really mean anything.
I've actually looked around locally for a bricked a100 to see if I can get and begin working on a method to repair it, but either there are none locally bricked, or none are up for sale (sent back to Acer for repair).
I'm working on it, but I have a couple roadblocks preventing me from really trying, time, and no bricked device.
Ok doing some more digging around, I've come across a thread with some posts that seem to lead me to believe that (non stock) our bootloaders don't respond to the correct SBK, mine doesn't either, and I think it's because our method for unlocking the bootloader uses the A200 bootloader, which will NOT accept the SBK, even if correct, because its wrong for that bootloader.
This leaves out NVFlash, it can't authenticate with the bootloader so it gets blocked, so while it would fix the bricks (outside of hardware failure) it's not an option for us until we find out the correct SBK for our bootloaders.
For those on stock, the update.zip failures seem to be common, however I have a few things for you to try (I think you're stock ICS right?)
download this update.zip
Its ICS 014, should work.
It seems people had issues with it working because it originally came encrypted, and had to be decrypted to work. If it wasn't, you got update.zip not found or various other errors like you did. Thanks to azmode for this.
Take your external SD card, insert it into your PC however you can, and format it FAT32. Before doing this, copy any and all files you wish to keep safe to the PC as this will erase the card completely. If your card reader has a light, wait for it to stop flashing before moving on.
Take the update.zip file you downloaded and place it on the card. Nothing else, no folders or pics or music or anything else. Again wait for the activity light to stop for a few seconds BEFORE hitting eject. Also verify the file is named update.zip nothing else, and not update.zip.zip which can sometimes happen. All lowercase letters.
Once that is done make sure the tablet is OFF, completely, not sleeping but off. Leave it off for at least 30 seconds (or if its been off the whole time don't worry about it) then insert the SD card. Hold Volume Down (closest to lock switch) then press and hold Power and hold for about 3 seconds until the text FIRST comes up, immediately release the buttons as soon as you see any text coming up.
This should once again attempt to read update.zip from the external sd card, and hopefully finds it, or gives a different error then before.
These instructions aren't much different from before, as various other users have outlined this procedure before, in particular blackshinobi who has spent alot of time on the bricked threads.
That update.zip should be decrypted which should allow it to pass the bootloader checks. I think this is where some of the issue is coming from, its that stupid bootloader encryption blocking even valid attempts to restore the tablet to working condition or updating.
If anyone is willing, could they pull their 100% official stock bootloader and stick it somewhere to play around with? Or, I suppose, someone with a 100% official stock ICS system try NVFlash on their system and see if it allows or gives permission denied? If the 100% official still denies, then our SBK generation is wrong, if it does, then its our bootloaders, and we can attempt to fastboot flash the correct bootloader to pass SBK for EUU.
Have you a alternative link? For update.zip

Did you ever have any luck getting your tablet running again?
It looks like I am having the same issue as you are. with a couple of minor variations. I've tried all the recommendations in this thread and the ones linked from here but I'm not making any progress. I fear there is nothing I can do and that the device is now a fancy brick does anyone have any other ideas on getting this fixed?
1. When I boot to recovery, get to the dead Android I see the following messages in yellow

Those errors have been identified as a dead emmc, which is currently unrecoverable. And is happening on quite a few of iconia's. This thread was prior to the devs and users finding thee issue. See all the brick threads here.

Well this isn't a forum for that device, and not being familiar with it I can only guess. mmcblk1p1 is usually external SD card, if one is inserted, remove it, if one is not, insert one. See what it does on each try. It may be internal SD card too, hard to say since I don't know that device, although a link to it's recovery.fstab would help there, or just /system/etc/vold.fstab.

So my second zenfone is dead.
Like many others, it gets stuck at the asus loading screen with the spinning wheel.
This did not happen after any obvious action, like an update - it was just turned off when i woke up, and wont load beyond the spinning wheel of death.
I have booted into fast boot mode (power and vol +), selected [recover mode] and got the broken android logo.
I then hit power and vol+, then release vol+ as suggested, but instead of a menu, i get a bunch of yellow console output, 3rd line of which is:
E: failed to mount /cache (invalid argument)
This appears for less than a second, then back to flashing broken android logo.
Repeating ( power and vol+, then release vol+) results in the same briefly visible console output
I turn off, and reboot into fast boot mode, and try using adb.
I enter the command 'fastboot erase cache' and it completes in 0.4 seconds, no errors. Has no effect on phone (reboot stuck loading, recovery mode same error as above).
Next i try 'fastboot format cache' - the command appears to work, but again completes in just over a second, and has no effect on the phone.
The only info i could find directly relating to this error is on a random .info website, so im reluctant to follow the steps:
http://mobilecon.info/fix-asus-zenf...-into-recovery-mode.html#sthash.slqGoK95.dpbs
Anyone here solved this issue? Or is it time for a warranty claim?
Thanks

Just don't do step 15 (factory reset) if you want to keep your old data.

Thanks for the link - it looks much the same as the one i posted, with the addition of flashing the system image.
Do you know if there is any danger in trying without flashing system 1st?
Also, have you used or seen this method used specifically to fix the mount failure i have described, or its just a general 'de-bricking' guide?
Finally, do you or anyone else have any insight into why this might have happened in the 1st place - as i mention, i did not do anything beyond normal use prior to the issue.
thanks
Sounds like the recovery corrupted... could be a range of things from improper shutdown to an improperly coded app that caused the error. If you want to flash just the recovery and see if that fixes it, go right ahead, but don't forget to erase your cache after you flash recovery.
Whenever I get stuck in a bootloop, the steps I follow are:
1) clear the cache and see if it fixes it, as something might be there that's preventing you from booting
2) flash the most current firmware to see if it fixes it, as something might have modified a section of one of the partitions that's preventing you from booting (make sure to clear cache after flashing)
3) contact support because it's more likely hardware failure
There's no danger in flashing any of those partitions, at most you'd lose the Xposed framework, root and busybox - which are easy to reinstall. It doesn't affect much else, and your info should be intact. I would advise getting the firmware from a reputable source though... I just get it off the Asus website, then root the phone after.
Try reinstall recovery
Download stock recovery(there is download link from zenfone2 index)>go fastboot mode>then flash recovery using command :
fastboot flash recovery (recovery image name).img
>Reboot to recovery>adb sideload full firmware
One day after I charged my note 2 phone (SGH-T889), unplugged charger and started playing an app game for 5 mins. The phone suddenly crashed and began to restart nonstop but couldn't get passed the welcome screen animation. Eventually, it kept restarted and stuck in the logo screen.
I tried all the factory reset, wipe cache in recovery mode (holding the 3 buttons), taking out SD card, or all the basic stuff. The phone is not rooted at all. I even tried to install firmware through ADB (with digital signed software) but still failed to do so (even with some software to sign the zip file) because i got signature verification error. I also see failed to mount efs and system error. Also I wouldn't be able to get into recovery mode unless i hook up the usb, otherwise it will continuously fail to reboot in the logo screen.
I would like some guidance to reformat/ flash the whole phone with files linked or attached. Any official firmware version is fine for me. I only just learned ADB but I know nothing about odin. I don't want to root the phone if possible. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much!
The stock ROM for your phone can be found here: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SPH-L720T/
The stock ROM from sammobile is flashed via Odin as Odin is Samsung's official flashing method.

I typed the wrong phone. I typed s4 instead of the note 2 model. Sorry.
Ok i flashed my note 2 with odin v3.11.2 with T889UVUCOH4_T889TMBCOH4_HOME.tar.mp5 in the AP tab in ordin. However, I get stuck in the green robot where there is a percentage bar after reboot. It gets stuck there then just reboot with the same thing happening. What do I do? Thanks.
I was using this odin tutorial http://odindownloader.com/tutorials/use-odin-downloader

Ok Eventually it goes to recovery mode cwm.... Now i get even more E error. Pretty much fail to mount data, system, recover/ log, cache, etc..... even more errors T_T
Open Odin, uncheck everything except f reset time, flash rom, when you see the word reset in the status window, remove cable from the phone, remove battery, replace battery, boot into recovery, wipe, and reboot.

Doesn't work after i put back battery in. In fact, i had trouble going to cwm after that. When I try to go to cwm, it goes to the green robot for a split second and jump back to logo screem in loop.
What happens when you put the battery back in? Does it flash stock without errors? Cwm should not be in the phone after flashing stock.

stuck in logo and when i try to wipe and factory reset liek u told me with holding vol up, power button, and home button, i go back to samsung logo loop
When booting to recovery, let the power button go as soon as the phone starts to boot but keep holding the home and volume up buttons.

I get only e: fail to mount efs and system ( didn't get fail to mount system the 1st time) now instead from the recovery screen. Wiped and got stuck in the sam sung start up animation, but then it becomes the same old logo reboot loop.

Ok this is what happened when I did the whole process again precisely as you told me. After I flashed with odin with (T889UVUCOH4_T889TMBCOH4_HOME.tar.md5), my phone is still in the download mode screen but everything is done downloading already. I unpluged usb, battery, micro SD card. When I try to reboot in recovery (I did your let go of the power button the moment the logo poped up), I am unable to do that, except I get reboot non stop and sometime I can see the green robot with the percentage bar screen. Eventually after multiple logo reboot loop, it just stuck at the screen and not do a thing.
Pretty much nothing I can do when I unplugged the phone from the USB, but when I plugged back the phone to the USB i can go to recovery mode somehow and I get all the e fail to mount errors for everything like i posted previously.
Also tried to install cwm through odin, but after odin said it pass and restarted with or without taking out the battery, I cant even go to recovery mode anymore....
omg my phone does the same thing except I cant flash at all keeps saying complete (write) operation failed. someone did resovle this please pm me or reply....
only thing that manages to connect with my phone but never complete is cwm4_fixed_for_cm7-odin.tar
I see the blue bar its complete but nothing ever happens
Sounds like there is a hardware problem with the phone. There could be a few causes but the failure to mount partitions means the memory may be damaged.

it connects only to that? so what to do @audit13
I would look around to see if I could find a cheap note 2 with a smashed screen and working motherboard to switch the parts.
If you don't want to do that, maybe ask a cell shop for a repair estimate?
The phone is not worth too much so I would not spend a lot of money fixing it.
omg are you serious so thers nothing I can do? can I show you the pictures or something what is cwm4_fixed_for_cm-7-odin.tar? why is that only working ...im broke lol!!and a noob
