Please help! my system crashed so i restarted android and got into a continuous bootloop, then i went to CW mod to wipe and reinstall but i get the follow error

I am running windows 7, and have ADB installed for when i rooted my moto droid
is there a step by step tutorial or writeup that can direct me on the files i need to download and the commands i need to type to restore this sucker back to stock and try again?
use cw to partition the drive, search "partition" Its something like 2048 & 512 ..dont quote me on that though. Do a search, thats what I had to do to mine to bring it back

You could try using CWR to format the sdcard (internal mem). Go to Advanced and there should be an option there. I was getting this error at one point so I formatted with CWR and it seems to have resolved. I used the 4096M and 64M options when asked.
Then you should be able to flash whatever ROM you want with CWR.
Thank you Photonmedia for the help. I too had this problem and it was fixed with a format and re-partition. However, now I don't have a restore image on the Gtab. I know, I'm an idiot...Luckily, it finally booted back into CM6.1 and i was able to move a vanilla update.zip to the internal mem.
Been semi bricked for hours... I messed up the emmc partitions using adb gparted dev/block/mmcbkl0 and now nook won't boot.. not even off SD card
the only thing i can get to boot off sd card image is rootpack which boots me into recovery.. i tried everything but no matter what I do in recovery i always get errors regarding the mounting of my cache and data, which obviously is because i deleted the partitions...
when i try to edit the partition table from adb parted denies me permission
please help... i'm very new to the nook and everything I just said I learned in the past 4 hours that i have been reading through forums trying to fix it..
thank you
In this very forum..

Besides, what makes you think you deleted the partitions? Did you?
on adb parted i went through every single one of the partitions and deleted them... only left one intact.. so i'm pretty sure i deleted them..
I have already tried flashing this and it flashed just fine however when I go back into the recovery menu I get the same error
E:\ something something can't mount data/recoverylog.log
E:\ something something can't mount cache/recoverylog.log
and four others just like it..
if anyone is willingto help the errors i get in clockwork recovery are
E: Can't Mount /cache/recovery/command
E: Can't Mount /cache/recovery/log

And why in gods name did you do that?
Anyway, get the repartition/fix tool that's in these forums.. I think in Development, might be in General. It just works.
I have CM7 Nightly #23, with CWM v4.0.
I'm trying to flash #26, but I'm getting the "E:can't mount /sdcard" error when trying to select the zip.
If I go into the Mounts and Storage menu, and try mounting /sdcard, it gives "Error mounting /sdcard!"
It mounts fine when Android is running and also when mounting the phone as USB storage in CWM, so it's obviously not a hardware error.
Any ideas?
Follow those steps.

Hi,
well... what can i say... i bricked my beloved defy. =(
How it happened:
Since Quarx's CyanogenMod 7 i used several CyanogenMod Versions from Quarx und Epsylon until about 2 weeks ago. I had the CM10 (4.1.2) Version from 11.05. installed.
Then i saw Quarx new release from 16.06.
Before i flashed the new version i made a full backup with cwm 5.7.0. Then i installed the new version trough cwm. everything look fine. But there wen't something really wrong. After rebooting the phone got stuck even before 2ndinit. I tried it several times but the the phone wasn't booting any more.
I thought: no problem. I have a backup. Let's restore is quickly. The easiest way to me was:
- start the phone in bootloader
- flash a stock sbf with rsd lite (sbf: JRDNEM_U3_3.4.2_179-002_DEBLUR_SIGN_SIGNED_UCAJRDNEMARAB1B80AA03A.0R_PDS03C_UCAJRDNFRYORTCOREEU_P023_A008_HWp3_Service1FF.sbf
- root the phone with superoneclick
- install 2ndinit for defy (SndInitDefy_2.3.apk i think it's cwm 5.0.3.1)
- restore backup
but here the problem beginns trying to recover /system(log from recovery):

Error while restoring /system!
Problem while restoring system !
-------------------------------------------------------
i tried so many things like:
- install cm10 an try restoring with cwm 5.7.0 (same error)
- different stock sbf's (makes no difference)
- extracting system.ext3.tar and copying i to /system with adb (stops copying at about 50%)
and much much more... i forgot the rest ^^
the thing is.... i have no idea what exactly is going wrong. In my opinion it's here in the log: "Remount /system read-only". how should cwm be able to write the backup into system i it is mounted as "read-only".
im working on it since the last 2 weeks and it is getting super frustrating =(
Hopefully someone has better ideas than me? I would appreciate it.
At least: thanks for reading!
There are 2 possibilities according to me (I may be wrong:silly
1. Your backup might be corrupt -> try another backup
2. Your eMMC memory chip may be corrupt -> send your phone for service
TRY Wipe system cache and data then restore.
OR
Install CM10 with cwm (example 26 March build), restore only data, then dirty flash the latest CM10 (only wipe cache and dalvik). Old builds of CM10 can cause problems.

Thank you for your answer!
I believe the backup files are ok. md5 is ok and the recovery log says: backup ok, but internal storage.... is weired.
Maybe a fried eMMC. But how? And buying a new phone is sadly way cheaper than service.
I wiped cache and data endless times. But no luck.
Is it possible to wipe (format) system?
I installed different versions from cm10 and they are running fine. But i really would like to restore my backup. There's a lot of work in it. =(
Tried this also 2 times: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1807899
But with this method, the phone won't boot up and got stuck in a bootloop. Can't even see the cm logo. An it makes no difference what version of CM10 is installed.

Yes, wiping system is important in this case. The option is present on the main screen of CWM.

I would like to format /system. But how? I can't find this option in cwm (5.7.0).
- Reboot system now
- Apply update from sdcard
- Wipe data/factory reset
- Wipe cache partition
- Install zip from sdcard
- Backup and restore
- Mounts and storage
- Advanced
- Power off
- Exit Recovery
- Go Back
It is possible to format some unmounted partitions in "Mounts and storage". But if i unmount /system there is only the option to "remount /system" but nothing linke "format /system".

My bad. You can try Defy full wiper (DO NOT REBOOT AFTER FULL WIPE).

OK, somehow the devices are "busy" so the wipe script couldn't wipe. Although in cwm it said it was successful.
So i tried unmounting /system, /cache and /data before running the script. Here's what i got:

Is it possible to do something about the "busy" partitions. Whatever they're busy doing
Check out these threads, not sure they'll help - http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/6433-solved-messed-up-partitions-on-internal-storage/.
AND http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=20707200
Your partitions may be in the wrong format.
EDIT - You can try starting from sbf, then installing your preferred CM10 release, and then extracting the backups into the respective directories using ES file explorer (only the files that you've changed).
EDIT 2 - Install CM10 with clockworkmod (not TWRP) and then go to bootmenu (press go back on the main screen of recovery), and then format system and data to ext4, and then try restoring backup. <------ try this first
why??
sir. i tried this 2 xperia ROM. my unit is OT 918n. i completed the installation of BRAVIA_LACV--Es_V4 & Xperia by Jarey..

:good::fingers-crossed:Thank you, i have a similar problem. My battery's Defy was completly discharge. Normaly, i plug my Defy, wait for 10 % charging, and i turn it on and i let the battery charging all night. But, i forgot to turn my defy on, and the morning when i turn it on, the cyanogen 7 logo bootloop.
I do a wipe system reset to factory, the defy turn on, and when i restore my backup, bootloop again.
I do what hotdog125 write, i was thinking its works, but it didn't.
I lost my data, :crying::crying::crying::crying: but i have a nice cyanogen 10 bootloop :laugh::laugh::laugh:
I finaly restore my defy with a backup do with recorvery when my phone make a bootloop.
I put cyanogen 7 and i found an application name Nandroid Manager http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2044414 , 1,46 euros, that permit to restore all or a part of the backup you do.
I restore my apps, my sms, my mms, my call log etc... i want to keep. My contact was backup on my gmail account.
Like i saw it works, i put cyanogen 11 and redo the partial restore.
My defy was fine, and increased from mb525 to mb526 when i install Cyanogen 11.
I recommand when you have an android phone to root it, put an recorvery, put Nandroid Manager and backup with recorvery regularly, you could restore all your phone if you don't change your rom, or resotre partial data if you change your rom.
Thank you to your site.:laugh::highfive:
So, my Defy had been stuck on the CM logo a few days ago I decided on doing a wipe data and cache but it seems somewhere along the way something went wrong and now for some reason the internal storage disappeared, it just shows, in the storage tab, to be of 0.00b of size and 51.75mb of space used.
I don't know if it means anything but I'm also getting this errors on the recovery mode:
E: Can't mount CACHE:recovery/command
E: Can't mount CACHE:recovery/caller
E: Can't mount CACHE:recovery/log
Any help will be gladly appreciated, thanks.

Hi! I had encountered this (or a 99% similar) problem when I installed CM10 (which never worked ever...) and then it got bootloop, so after that I tried to revert back to CM9, and I got the Encryption Unsuccessful message, and when I tried to revert further more back, on CM7.x it just goes bootloop, no message. This problem WAS NOT caused by ext3/ext4 partition in my case, so it seemed that the ROM/CWM just lost it's permission to access the internal storage.
I solved the problem using the good old JORDN_U3_97.21.51.sbf which always did the trick. (You'll gotta go back to Éclair, than some tricky way to Froyo, what is known as the latest stock rom for Defy)
