How to recover data from bootlooped (soft bricked) Galaxy Express? - Samsung Galaxy Express GT-I8730 Questions & Answer

The problem is my phone unexpectedly shutted down when it was connected to computer and was running 3 apps that didn´t need much resource. And now if I try to start the device, I get the bootloop error.
Also when I go to CWM, I get these 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
E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/last_install
E: Can't open /cache/recovery/last_install
I also can´t mount data (I get the "Error mounting data!") and cache too. I only can mount system and format cache, but not format data.
I already tried adb pull command, but as I can not mount data, I am not able to pull anything from there. I already took my SD-card out and got most of the pictures and songs. But most of the data is stored on the internal memory as in CM11, you can not move apps to SD-card. So my question is that, is it possible to restore data from internal memory in my case? I mean SMS-messages, app data and bookmarks from AOSP Browser and UC Browser that are all stored on internal memory.
Sadly I haven´t done any Titanium backup and also Nandroid backup before this happened.

[Q] mount external sd in recovery

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 ?

Nexus 4 won't boot, can't recheive Titanium Backup

Hey all I already used the search function before posting this. Basically I was sitting and unlocked my phone to check my email and I kept getting force close errors for Google Keep and it wouldn't let me do anything else so I rebooted my phone, after that my phone gets stuck on the CyanogenMod boot animation
I rebooted into ClockworkMod recovery and decided to wipe data factory reset and every time I do, this appears:
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 /sdcard/
E:Can't mount /sdcard/
I've tried wiping cache after that and dalvik cache, nothing happens. I can access the bootloader menu and ClockworkMod. I've thought of using this method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1766475 but I just want to access my Titanium Backup folder and save it to my computer first, any thoughts?
Anyone?

[Q] How do I recover from boot & recovery mode problems?

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!

In recovery select Wipe Factory Reset
Then Wipe cache and then reboot.
It should work.
