[Q] Clockwork

I want to flash a new ROM ( 2.3.6 ) but my clockwork shows me
Can't mount /system!
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
My question is: it will brick if I will try to flash a custom ROM (because it says can't mount /system)

These errors (in cwm recovery) only exist for official stock rom. Once u flash any custom rom(for e.g. Cyanogenmod 7) these errors will disappear.

so I can flash a new ROM without any problem\errors? (from the stock one).I don't know why but I think when I will try to flash a ROM\wipe data\wipe cache it would gave me the same error

up?

Yup! But make sure that it's clockworkmod recovery. U can flash custom roms only via clockworkmod recovery(not via stock recovery). Don't blame me if anything goes wrong. I'm just helping u like I do for my other friends.
Good Luck...!!:thumbup:

Cache Errors in recovery

Hi Guys. I need some advice. I've been struggling with this issue for quite a while and no matter what I cannot solve my problem, many hours googling this issue has not been successful.
When I boot into TWRP, I get this error 90% of the time:
Code:
E: TWFunc: : Copy_Log -- Can't open destination log
E: Unable to open '/cache/recovery/.version'.
This initial error doesn't prevent me from flashing the CM ROM but it does prevent me from flashing this kernel. If i wipe cache I can flash the kernel again, but later on, when I update my ROM and boot into recovery I get this problem again, so i have to wipe cache all the time. Though a small inconvinience, i wish i didnt have to do it, especially since it kinda interferes with my cyandelta update process of flashing the kernel right after the rom.
I've attached a log file produced by TWRP.
I get a similar error when using Clockwork Recovery.
Code:
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
Fresh installs don't work either. I'm hoping this isn't a hardware issue... something about a fried emmc or something like that. Please say it isnt so.

Im having this issue on t999 s3, happened ever since i flashed new cm11 nightly. I cant even access recovert without it reinstalling the same cmupdate script.

I have the exact same problem. The exact same thing happened to me. Any update on how to repair this?

You have broken NAND memory. See thread about data encrypted problem.
If it makes you feel any better, you two aren't the only ones.

[Q] Stuck on CWM recovery, can't install zip or flash with ODIN

Long history: I was using Ivan_Meler CM 13.1 ROM for ~ 3 months, which was very stable. Last week I downgraded from build 10 to build 9 with only dirty flash and everything was working fine, just some occasionally FC. Then one night I left my phone ran on very low battery and when I woke up I found my GT-N7100 stuck on Samsung boot logo.
I'm still able to access ODIN download mode. When I get into recovery mode (CWM Philz Touch v6.26.6), I immediately get this messages:
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
What I've tried so far:
1. Restore Nandroid backup (KOT49H.N7100UBUFNK1) using CWM
->>>>> got E: format_volume: make_ext4fs failed on /dev/block/mmcblk0p13
2. Flash, using both adb sideload and ODIN:
Stock ROM 4.3 (N7100UBUEMK4_N7100ZTOEMK3_ZTO) and 4.4 (N7100UBUFNK1_N7100ZTOFNK1_ZTO), downloaded from Sammobile
->>>> got "NAND write fail" on ODIN and
->>>> on adb sideload the file loads 100% but I got "error:closed" and after "failed to write data 'protocol fault (no status)' "
3. Flash only the hidden.img of the stock ROM's mentioned above, I got "PASS" on ODIN but after phone gets stuck on boot Samsung logo
Tried this guide, using stock 4.1.2 (N7100XXDLJ2_OXA_FACTORY) with and without re-partition
->>>> got "NAND write fail" as well.
So I have ran out of options can anybody please help :crying::crying::crying: I really like my Note 2 and I don't have money to buy a new phone right now.

Try flashing the latest stock rom using a different USB cables, different versions of Windows, and different USB ports. If none of these work, the memory chip may be damaged.

When trying to flash a stock rom, did you try different usb cables and usb ports?
Did you confirm the model number in download mode?

I think it's Hail Mary time. See your PM for info using Heimdall and pit file. I have put what you need on the ftp server. ~metafizik

I had this happen with mine once and had to flash older version stock ROM & Pit .from there I had no signal, after rooting & philz...flashed new modem..then updated to updated ROM. Oh and mine also failed adb until I got a new battery.Also I would suggest to uninstall and reinstall drivers on computer...both Sammy & Heimdall.
