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

Panicing now.
So, I have unrevoked forever, was running CM6, had a problem earlier today with SetCPU. Went into recovery and reloaded CM6,
When it came up, the system immediately began force close on the dialer over and over. As soon as I hit the button to do the force close it did it again, so fast I couldn't do anything.
I did the only thing I could think of - I went into recovery and did "Clear Storage" which is supposed to be a factory reset. It still shows s-off, HBOOT 0.79.0000radio 2.15.00.07.28.
Then I went back into recovery and used the earlier download from clockworkmod to reinstall CM6.0.2 (clockworkmod/download/koush.droid.co/htc/inc/update-cm-6.0.2-Inc-signed.zip).
Now when I boot the unrevoked forever splash screen appears and then the phone just hangs there; nothing else happens. I have to pull the battery to reboot.
HELP!
Additional info - when Clockworkmod recovery 2.5.0.5 starts I get the following messages:
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/mmclblk0p2 (File Exists)
However it lets me apply a zip from the sdcard.
That sucks man. Why don't u have have other backups, like a stock backup. You could just download another Rom. Try uncommon sense. You can mount it in clockwork recovery drag it to SD, unmount, and flash.

Hi All,
I rooted my AMOLED Desire (on T-Mobile) back in June when it was a year old, did it through Unrevoked with ClockworkMod, flashed CM7, never looked back.
Got my Wife a SLCD Desire (on Orange) just after Christmas last year and now want to put CM7 on hers too.
Did the back ups, went to do the Unrevoked and it failed first time. Did it a couple of times and it seemed to go through OK. Booted fine, showed the SU app in the App Drawer. All seemed good to now backup the ROM from Recovery and flash CM7 + GAPPS + Radio.
However, when attempting the backup, I got these messages:
E:Can't mount CACHE:recovery/log
E:Can't find MISC:
E:Can't mount CACHE:recovery/command
E:Can't find MISC:
The phone still boots fine, it is not bricked. Recovery works fine, but few options run with out giving these messages. I have re formatted the SD Card, but from searching, drive E: is internal.
I tried running Unrevoked again to flash Amon Ra, but it could not achieve root, asking if the firmware was too new.
The option is to use ClockworkMod to format Data &/or System, but was reluctant to just proceed with this action before consulting you guys!
Anyone able to give advice based on experience rather than guesswork!?
Many thanks in advance!
Steve

I dont know a lot about it, but E: is NOT a drive, a rookie mistake as I originally thought that, it just means Error: so its saying there are 4 errors as above!
Im sure somebody with more knowledge will come along soon to help you out, sorry I couldnt have been more help
Arty.
I used to get something like that too its fine.. if you're really bothered about it then S-OFF and then use android flasher to flash a new recovery.. which could solve the problem for you.
Sorted
Turns out the problem was because of the PVT4 thing, mine is PVT1 and I didn't get this trouble.
This site described my exact problem and gave me answer that I went with:
ht tp:// www .roms-au. com/installation/rooting/pvt4-issues/
The frustrating thing was that I couldn't find a Linux version of Unrevoked 3.21 anywhere, so had to go through Windoze and **** about with the whole HTC Sync and HBOOT driver stuff.
Still, it worked, so worth it in the end.
Hey how's it going? I'm stuck in the boot loader. I had CM7 installed before and it got stuck in a loop. So, tried wiping cache/data and dalvik. Dalvik couldn't be wiped. Tried installing another rom and that didn't work at all. I'm able to get into recovery mode without a problem, but now I'm getting stuck on the HTC screen.
Error wise, I'm getting the following:
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 looked around for some help and couldn't find much help, but it was a recovery issue/ Don't have a backup or anything, and don't mind wiping everything and starting from scratch anyways.
I'm on a mac as of now but can grab a windows computer if needed. Any ideas?
Well, last resort should be to flash the ruu file that will get you back to stock. Honestly, this sounds like a hardware failure though. Try going to recovery, fixing permissions, then go to mounts and storage in recovery and manually mount those things and see what, if any errors you get.

Not a hardware failure at all. You just need to reflash your recovery Just follow the Guide #6 in my guides directory, just the part about reflashing the recovery.
Thanks for the replies and glad to hear it isn't a hardware failure. So as I said I'm on my mac and the phone doesn't come up under devices at all. Do I need the drivers still on the mac?
I was able to load the sd card onto my computer and throw the cam file in the root of the card. Is there a way to flash memory from that through clockwork or does it have to be through command prompt?
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
E:Can't open/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......
This is a follow-up to my "Problem Installing Gingerbread; currently have Froyo 2.2 s-off" post.Thought I'd repost with an updated title that better reflects progress made so far in restoring my DInc.
Background:
- DInc purchased new; rooted; s-off; Incredikernal; Convert2Ext4_no_data_limit_normal_dalvik mod; CM7.2 (was on Tiny's CM10.1)
- Phone died while listening to music (plugged in to 5volt 2amp Nexus7 charger); would not boot beyond white HTC Incredible screen.
- Tried to restore nandroid backup.
- Upon booting to recovery received numerous “can’t mount” errors in ClockworkMod (CWM).
- Could not access zip from sdcard "E:Can't mount /sdcard/". (Note: also can't mount /emmc/)
- Tried loading image from nandroid backup via HBOOT, with no success
Progress:
- Flashed stock Froyo 2.2 via HBOOT successfully. DInc is working!
- Regained root via unrevoked3 successfully
- Flashed CWM 5.0.2.0 via HBOOT successfully
Issues:
1. Still can’t access sdcard
a. Confirmed card is formatted FAT32
b. SDCard seems OK – flashing image via HBOOT works and sdcard can be read from Froyo
c. Tried "fastboot oem enableqxdm 0" followed by “fastboot reboot” commands. Programs ran but still no access.
d. Tried to re-format a different sdcard in Froyo, card got corrupted!
- Formatted FAT32 on PC, inserted in phone
- “Unmount SDcard” and "Format SDcard" in Froyo, could not “Mount sdcard” in Froyo.
- PC says that SDcard needs to be formatted
e. Help please!
2. CWM mount errors:
a. 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)
b. 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
c. Are these errors possibly related to bad partitions: Should I try Parted per topic 6433 at cyanogenmod forum (sorry, can’t post links)?
d. Are these errors possibly caused by the Convert2Ext4 mod, and should I try to run that again if/when I get my sdcard mounted?
e. Are these errors probably hardware related, and I stop looking for a software fix?
3. Gingerbread
a. I tried to load Gingerbread images (from pvillecomp, and also a version from cmlusco) via HBOOT; but no luck (boot loop).
b. I tried to load the Gingerbread RUU (from pvillecomp), but no luck. Perhaps a HTC Sync issue, but have not yet reloaded HTC Sync.
c. If I can't overcome mounting problems, I would at least like to be running Gingerbread vs Froyo (hence title of original thread).
d. Help please!
Thanks all,
Al
Please don't double post or post a new thread just to edit the title. You can edit your own OP to reflect progress made, (and edit the Title of the OP above the Message/Body portion in the Advanced edit screen).
Have you tried the latest TWRP? I see you have tried the latest CWM.
PonsAsinorem,
Sorry for double-posting, and thanks for taking the time to describe how I should go about changing the title going forward.
Thanks also for the suggestion to try TWRP instead of CWM. Unfortunately I couldn't get TWRP to load.
I downloaded the latest version for the DInc from the TWRP site (openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.0-inc.img) and tried to load via fastboot - got the error message "FAILED: Remote not allowed".
I then tried to flash via HBOOT (I zipped the twrp image, naming the file PB31IMG.zip). It got to the "Parsing PB31IMG" stage, but I never received the option to Install Yes/No.
Any suggestions on what I am doing wrong?
Thanks again,
Al

Thanks! That file loaded and I have TWRP running. I then tried to Mount the sdcard. The line item "highlights", but the checkbox doesn't check (The only items that "check" are System and Data).
Should I try "Factory Reset" as my next step?
Thanks again,

Thanks PonsAsinorem for closing the other thread. My apologies again for the double post - I realize now how such a practice causes avoidable confusion.
Trozzul, thanks for your input on the other thread "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"
Per the ClockworkMod website, the latest CWM Recovery for the DInc is 5.0.2.0, so I think 6.0.X.X is not an option. Also, as mentioned above, PonsAsinorem has helped me get TWRP loaded. Am awaiting suggestions for next steps.
Thanks again,
Al
Well I'm just going to watch and see for right now, I'm not sure what's wrong with your twrp, maybe pons will know
