Dear Experts,
Happy New Year
This is my first actual post on xda-developers but I rooted my beloved A500 with the advice on here just over a year ago.
The other night I plugged my device in to charge, all was well. When I woke in the morning the device was off, booting it would only take me to the first screen which shows the Skrilax_CZ ROM welcome screen. I tried booting it a few times, as you do, and each time I got the same result.
I was able to enter the boot recovery menu fine.
In green text I got the following:
E: can't mount cache/recovery/command
Under that it said:
E: Can't mount /sdcard/
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 am able to get into APX mode, I only know this because the 'blackthund3r A500 Manager' is able to see the device when I try to manually put it into APX mode. I don't know if it helps at all...
I am now unable to get into the boot recovery mode since playing with the A500 Manager ion APX mode.
I found a similar thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1953751
This suggests it is proper broken.
Does anyone have any advice on what I can try? If the device is dead then is there any way to retrieve my data which is not on the SD card?
Many thanks to you all,
Robbie

All i can suggest is you power down tablet , remove sdcard and put it in a card reader to save any data on it / format it / put it back in n see if u can do recovery ? or use different sdcard ?

Hi Brysie.
I have had the SD card removed while I tried working on it so that I wouldn't risk affecting my data on it. I seem to get the same results now whether I have the SD card inserted or not. Although I just had another try and it is now allowing me to enter the recovery mode again which it wasn't a couple of hours ago.
I am north east of the Shetland Islands on an oil rig just now and I didn't bring my card reader with me. I will try what you suggest when I get home which will hopefully be within a couple of weeks.
Hey RoverP4,
I was wondering if you manage to find a fix to this? I have had an extremely similar bricking. My message is a little different.
Code:
E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/command
Kernel: thor-kernel_v1.16mini
Updates on TegraOwners.com
Setting CPUO & CPU1 to 1GHz...
Done!
Fixing A500 Boot/Recovery Chechsums...
Running itsmagic
Done!
E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/log
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/log
E:Can't mount /cache/reovery/last_log
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/lazy_log
Thanks for any help.

You can try running babsector (search on the forum), that will attempt to repartition and format.
If that doesn't work then it is most likely due to hardware failure of the eMMC chip, so a motherboard replacement is the only real solution. Same thing happened to me, cannot install anything on it as nvflash cannot write to the device. Haven't gotten around to replacing the motherboard.
Install Skrillax_CZ's bootloader.
Install TWRP (I use version 2.4.0.0).
Wipe System and Cache partitions.
Install a compatible ROM. If you want something fairly vanilla, give Lightspeed a try.
Thanks for the suggestion. But Im almost sure the mother board was fried. It wouldn't let me mount the SD or flash drive. So I couldnt install anything. Replacing the MoB wasnt that hard. Heck I took it out 3-4 times.

I recently restore my nook color but whenever I go to CWM Recovery I see this.
E:cannot mount cache/recovery/command
E:cannot mount /cache/recovery/log
E:cannot open /cache/recovery/log
E:cannot mount /cache/recovery/last_log
E:cannot open /cache/recovery/last_log
One thing I have noticed is that I cannot install anything at all.
Can anyone please tell me what this means??

What CWM version and ROM are you using? Are you trying SD card or EMMC install?
Please do not post more than once in different threads if you want people to follow and offer help...
Okay, I came from the Miui Rom and wanted a different one because I noticed it was really unreliable. I messed around and let my battery drain to zero. After that I have not been able to get my Nook to Boot up. Prior to that was coming from CWM 3.2.0.1. I charged up the Nook and I tried the 8 interrupts but all that did was bring me to CWM 3.2.0.1. I replaced it with a CWM 2G partition 3.0.2.8 but I recieved this message each time when the CWM screen came up:
E:cannot mount cache/recovery/command
E:cannot mount /cache/recovery/log
E:cannot open /cache/recovery/log
E:cannot mount /cache/recovery/last_log
E:cannot open /cache/recovery/last_log
I then realized that I could not format system or data. As a result anything I flash does not work at all. I have tried everything and nothing is working for me. Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong??
hi,
i use Reflex rom from Civato (many thanks Civ:good.
Everything work fine in normal use (also the data/file in external microsd)
My first problem: when i install V8UNLOCKED multi ICS BOOTLOADER installed whit CWM
the process end fine but in recovery i see at the top: CWM Recovery v5.5.0.x(thor2002ro/digitex rev1.7.3)
And, after istallation when i back to Power menu i have:
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
The second problem, maybe connected whit the first:
Each time i try to install a rom update from external sd i have the following message :
E:Can´t mount /sdcard/
If I remove my SD, and insert it again, it mounts and i can update the rom.
I'v tried to wiping cache & dalvik partitions but both problems remain...
p.s.sorry for the mistakes in English and the noob questions..

? The MicroSD card that you can remove from the top should mount as /external_sd/
As for the messages about not able to open the log files could be...
1. The logs do not exist
2. The mount or location its referencing does not exist or is not mounted
3. They exist but you have no permissions to get to them
Sorry I cant be of much help in resolving... I am sure someone will pop on with a solution for you...

Right. The log files do non exist in sdcard. or in external_sd.
But. why I see. :CWM Recovery v5.5.0.x(thor2002ro/digitex rev1.7.3) at the top after I install the V8UNLOCKED ?
And what about the probmem whit read the external_sd in recovery mode:
E:Can´t mount /sdcard/
If I remove my microsd and insert it again, it mounts perfectly ?

Use fastboot to flash the stock images and you should be fine

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)
GL to revive your device!
This is a rewritten version of an earlier post.
I haven't been able to boot my TPT for about two weeks now. At first it was stuck on the spinning "CyanogenMod" logo, and would go no further; now it's stuck on the Lenovo logo. If I boot into CWM recovery (which usually takes several attempts; the first few times result in a black screen), first I get a list of 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 can't apply any of the format zip files, as any attempts to apply a zip file from either the sd card or the external sd card results in an error:
E:Can't mount /sdcard
or
E:Can't mount /external_sd/
I've tried wiping the cache and the Dalvik cache, but so far nothing has allowed me to reformat the system and boot into it. This is all very frustrating. I don't mind wiping the entire system and starting from scratch - but I would like my tablet back!
Is there any way of overcoming these "Can't mount" errors?
(I read somewhere that one option is to reformat the SD card with FAT32 and install the ROM from there; dunno if that will work through.) Anyway, suggestions are very welcome!
