Boot Loop and Can't open Cache

After uninstalling astrid task manager my phone rebooted then started to boot loop (g1 screen then reboot).
I went into cyanogens recovery image (1.3.1) and I get E: Can't open CACHE. I can't do anything it's just stuck at this to reboot I have to take the battery out.
From what I've read I should be able to reformat my sd card and then it should work. Is this true? Assuming it does will I have to reapply the cyanogenmod image to get my phone working again?
Only problem is that I can't get XP or Win 7 to recognise the sd card anymore. I *should* be getting a new one tomorrow though.
I still have access through adb is there anything I can do before I get a new sd card?
I'm running:
HardSPL + Latest radio
Cyanogens Recovery Image 1.3.1
Cyanogens Mod 1.3.6.1
Update - I can get in via adb definitley now, I can mount the sd card and all the files are still there but I still have no idea how to recover to a workable phone.

So recovery mode isn't starting at all? Try booting the phone without the SD card in. It might give you a lot of errors, but might be able to get you to boot in the first place. That's first priority.

I can get into recovery mode but the only command that works is Alt + L.
I don't have my phone on me because I'm at work but will try it later tonight.
Thank you very much!

Try to do a wipe. Alt+w. If that doesnt work i suggest getting into fastboot and flashing the cyanogen recovery image 1.3.1. Instruction are in the thread for fastboot. To get into fastboot press (Camera + Power) if that doesnt work try (Back + Power).

I tried to do a wipe but no luck.
Is fastboot the three skateboarding android guys I've heard of?
At the moment I'm just trying to get a lot of information so when I go home I can make a start at fixing it.
So far I really love the attittude of people on the forum, it's pretty awesome.

Argh when I try to boot into fastboot I just get the normal tricolour screen and not 3 android skating guys.
What am I doing wrong?
I'm using the hardspl btw
OK so I've done some more reading, I apparently need the engineering spl for fastboot. Which is ok but I can't get the recovery console to work to flash a new spl. This is really frustrating.
Arg so according to the spl thread I have the stock spl which sucks because I could have sworn I used the hardspl, I have the files on my hdd for gods sake. So now if I'm correct I'm ****ed. I looked over the Hayuko guide I used and it definitely said HardSPL (http://209.85.229.132/search?q=cach...=35&cd=1&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=uk&client=firefox-a).
I'm stuck now.

Last post before I go to bed. I hope someone can help. If I don't hear anything then I'm off to t-mobile to see if I can get a new phone. If they can't then it's off to ebay.

You'll need the engineering spl or hard spl to flash a rom have you ever flashed a modified rom. Or are you stock. Do you have a2sd. I would imagine if your able to get to fastboot or some kinda recovery your not bricked. You can get an insurance replacement and use that phone as a test phone. Its fixable, need some more info.

I figured out what happened. I updated to the latest radio which pretty much reset my spl.
My SPL is now stock but still working, recovery image isn't though, main os isn't either.
Is it possible to flash Hard SPL from the normal SPL.

Try putting DREAIMG.nbh at the root of your sdcard and go into your spl and flash it.

Succesful now booting into android

You said a few posts back you have adb setup, what does logcat say is goin on when it reboots.

Your computer is probably not reading it because it's may not be assigned a drive letter. Try this... Go to control panel...Administrative tools...Computer management...Disk management...scroll down until you see your sd card partition. Right click on it and there should be something there that says assign a drive letter. Maybe this could help.

Help Me.

Nothing found using search.
I cant get into [Home+Power] stays at G1 screen. Other then that it does power up and go into phone. and [Power+Camera] works. Any help how to fix this ?

you probably need to reflash your recovery image. the thing that sucks is that the recovery image links are down so if you don't have a copy of it, well you can imagine....

Can you give me a link to one ? And tell me how to reflash ?
And BTW , you seem to always be there , big thanks man.

yeah, seems like you'll need to reflash the recovery.
I actually have a saved copy of the 1.4 recovery, if you give me your email i can send to you. the instructions to install it are on the original thread, here.

I installed cynogens recovery image 1.4 and after that tryed installing a theme and got a black screen i then notice it was because i didnt remove the icons b4 this. I was stuck cause i didnt have an sdcard reader so ive been using my cousin LG phone to transfer my data to the sdcard. So i tryed re-flashing the rom (Cynogen 4.0.4) with wip. Still got the black screen. Tryed a new rom (JACxHEROSki-v2.1) with wip , goes pass the G1 screen to the aqua blue cynogen android scate board screen to the black screen. Help ?

you might want to avoid constantly opening new threads, especially one that just has "?" in the subject; this one might get closed.
if your sdcard is partitioned correctly for cyanogenmod (ext2/ext3 - fat32) then you'll probably need to wipe the ext2/ext3 partition and wipe then reflash the rom. I haven't gone to a HERO rom yes myself, so i'm not sure if there is another step involved for that.

Ive never partitioned for Cynogen i have a clean 1g no partitions. Its always worked for me.

Im assuming that you didnt create a nandroid backup when you installed the recovery image? and let's both assume since you had Cyan running before that you have the correct Radio and SPL images.
ok, if you have no partitions we can skip a couple of steps.. try this, connect your phone to youe PC, boot into recovery with Home & Power and type the following commands.
alt&X to enter console
push enter
ums_enable
this will mount your sd and open it on your PC so you can verify that you have the correct update.zip on the root of your SD.
ums_disable
reboot recovery
alt&W
alt&S
If you are going to start flashing roms you really want to consider getting a bigger SD card, my nandroid backup is like, 900mb and without that it's kinda like playing russian roulette with your phone. I hope this helps.

You can go in the nandroid folder and delete old backups, folder names have dates. You can also store all of the folders and put them on your sdcard as needed, Nandroid only uses the one with the newest date anyways.

Hey no problem, I'm glad things worked out for you.

Well I bricked it....

Im hoping someone can help me with my nook. I tried to flash froyo, made a wrong turn and now it wont boot. I rooted it just fine but before flashing froyo I wiped the system and it just went downhill from there. My guess is its not unfixable because I can boot clockworkmod from sd card but I can't seem to get the froyo rom on that same card. I flashed the sd card with clockwork but when I go to copy the froyo zip my pc says there isn't enough space. Its an 8 gig card formatted on windows fat32 default. The pc recognizes the card as 7.4 gigs after format. So it seems once I can get clockwork and froyo on the same card I should be able to flash. Anyone have any ideas as to what im doing wrong. I can provide more info once im back home and would really appreciate any help or direction. I did root my eris just fine and I look back and realize I shouldn't have wiped the nook before flashing froyo.
Sent from my nonsensikal froyo using XDA App

L o l relax bro you are not bricked... the reason you can't copy froyo is because the SD is partitioned when you write the image...
Do this.
Copy clockwork mod 3.0.1.0 update zip on the bootable cwm SD after you image it. The zip should be small enough to fit on the SD if not then have 2 SD cards on hand. Once you boot into the SD flash the recovery 3.0.1.0 zip you copied.
Then remove SD and reboot recovery to make sure it flashed cwm properly.
At this point reformat your SD card and copy the froyo zip onto it. Insert SD card into the nook.
On cwm go to mount and format data, system, and cache. After you have done this then proceed to flash the nookie froyo
You should be ok. Good luck and give thanks if this helps you.

I was able to boot into CWM and flash the ClockWork Zip file then I removed the SD card and selected reboot system. It just ends up turning off and the power button wont turn it back on. Ive done this 3 times and the same happens. Should I be concerned with the CWM version numbers. The boot image is version 3.0.0.5.
Im clearly in over my head. I should have researched more before starting this project. LOL Im so confused Im second guessing everything now. Should I be using WIN32DiskImager or WinImage when making the Boot recovery disc. Maybe the Image I burn should be version 3.0.1.0 instead of 3.0.0.5. Maybe I need to just go back to factory and start over.

Thank You ax0r! I cant thank you enough for the time you took in setting me straight. I was swimming in information and you threw me a life line. This thing is awesome! I have a little bit to go yet to get it the way I want but it should be all downhill from here. Thanks again and the moral of the story is to take your time and research before starting something like this. Something I took to heart when rooting and installing my ROM on my Droid Eris but didnt do with my NookColor.

If you fixed your issue maybe sharing how with other newbies would be of benefit.
I'm assuming you just burned a 3.0.1.0 CWR image, copied the CM7 zip to that, booted into CWR, wiped your boot, system, data, cache partitions, and installed the zip?

Your right Im sorry. Basically this is the gist of it. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=938200

It is kind folks like you that make all of this such a great success.
I'm headed out to purchase my Nook Color shortly and it's nice to know that there is an awesome community here to help. I don't actually suspect any problems, as I've been reading and learning for a couple weeks now. Plus, I've hacked my OG Droid to death, so I have some experience.
Anyway, thanks for your willingness to help. It's refreshing to see.

Glad you are back up and running. I've come to the conclusion that if I have bricked mine yet. Then this thing is unbrickable. I've messed up many a times.

You are rigth,
With a microSD card in good condition: CWM + kernel images you can always go on.

[Q] E:Failed to mount /sdcard (File Exists)... help

I think I've tried everything except what I need to do. Anyway, here's the problem.
I was on MIUI 1.7.29 I believe, when all of a sudden, I restarted my phone, and my internal SD card was "blank." I restarted it one more time, and it solved the problem, or so it seemed.
Next time I rebooted my phone, my SD card was "blank" and I couldn't mount it for the life of me. I read somewhere that this may happen if you don't come from the stock ROM, which I came from Cog5v1, so I decided to flash back to the "I897UCJF6-final-OCD-REV0" which I've had on my computer since I've owned my Captivate and re-do my MIUI ROM.
So, I flash that, and everything seems fine, until all the splash screens stop. Then my phone just sits at a black screen with the touch buttons lit up.
Now from here, I've had a few phone problems in my day that have been solved with a download jig, so I find my jig and flash a different Kernel on to get CWM up and format my internal SD card that way, but anytime I flash another Kernal and boot into recovery, I get the "E:failed to mount /sdcard (File Exists)" error, in the default recovery screen.
I've even flashed the .tar that should force conversion back to rfs format.
And here's another kicker, I can't seem to get the phone recognized by adb at any point in the process, so I can't even manually do it! Please help me figure this out.
Let me know if there is any other information you need, and keep in mind, I'm not new at this and I'm not afraid to do anything crazy.

After those kernel flashes are you able to boot into android?
If so have you turned on usb debugging and tried a master clear with odin one click?

I've not been able to get my phone to boot on any kernel, because /sdcard is "corrupted", and I can't install a rom via CWM, since I can't boot into CWM since /sdcard is "corrupted."

Happened to me twice. You have to send your phone in to get it fixed. Your partition tables are probably screwed like mine were.

How much does it cost? Its gonna be a problem for me anyway since I live in Peru and bought the cellphone in Vancouver...

Did they tell you if they had to change the sdcard or the took it out and restore it?

Mobiletechvideos can possibly do it.
But I assume that you could restore a DD backup of partitions to resolve this.

Use one click to flash back to J6 and it should fix your problem. I had the exact same problem after I went to miui while I still had speedups kernel installed. I tried everything I could think of and this fixed it.

I would like to try to go back to 2.1 or 2.2, because 2.3 has a different partition file.

J6 is the original 2.1. It should fix your problem. You may have to do the 3-button fix afterwards though. I did.

How do I apply that fix?

Need help with internal storage!

Well guys....i think this problem stems from me prematurely removing the usb cord. I Understand that. But here is the other couple of predicaments. lol Ok i'm on ICS Stunna 4.3 ......well after something went wrong i'm unable to "repair" my internal storage. Everything still works smooth....but i can't add things to my internal card. Every time i hook up to the computer it says it needs to scan and fix the card.Well the problem is starts to fix it.....but never does....progress bar never finishes. Tried this on 3 different computers. Nothing.So try to install a different rom....i have some on my internal and external. Always aborts in cmw....never finishes. So on top of all this Stunna has started acting odd. Likely read errors.....but problem is i can't switch roms! lol I have tried everything. I was wondering should i format both cards? But if i do that how can i back everything up if i can't access my card? Any help would be appreciated guys. Hoping i don't have to Odin back to stock.
Cliffs- Internal storage won't repair on any computer-Can't install anything in CMW because of it

I have the exact same problem now, as you do. CWM can't install any .zip files, I can't flash Abyss kernel, so it's just stuck in that end.
I installed ICS Stunner 4.5 coming from GB with full wipe. This happened to me after I tried to copy some files over to external SD Card and it failed, seemed like the phone froze (SOD), so I figured flashing another modem would do the trick (read it in ICS Stunner thread's 1st post). Tried to transfer the file over a cable, but same thing happened. After rebooting I just grabbed it from dropbox and installed the modem successfully. I went ahead to try and fix the mounting problem, so I plug in the cable and it offers me to scan and fix both partitions (internal and external). External card finishes successfully, but not the internal one. And after that I'm in the same situation as OP.
Any ideas anyone?

Enable usb debugging(setting-appl-development)
Connect to pc
Select to copy file to fr computer from notification
You will find separate drive letter for int n ext card
Rt click on int sd card letter n format(you can backup imp data to pc b4 this)
Hope it shud b fixed

Gonna try it now. Have lots of pictures to backup first tho
EDIT: Same thing happens as with scan and fix procedure. It starts and just sits there, nothing happens. When I try to stop "USB Storage in use" it just shows the spinner and hangs in there. Only holding the power button helps solve this. My guess is something in the internal SD card partition is broken... just can't say what or how to fix it.

Same problem^^^^ Not sure what to do about all this

Short story:
Formatting didn't work.
Long story:
Okay, so following the idea to format the internal sd card's partition, I achieved it not through Windows format dialog, but through the half-broken CWM. Both my SD Cards were formated (internal and external) in the process. So since I used the external one for backing up important info I had to use [email protected] UNDELETE to get it back (after booting to ICS). In the process the native SD Card mount service seemed like broken, I had to perform a few hard resets. Hangs seemed to occur whenever I tried writing to one of the cards. I downloaded multi-mount SD card app from Play Store and transfered AbyssKernel's .zip and now when I try to install it from CWM it says
Installing: /sdcard/AbyssNotekernel42RedTouchOriginalLogo.zip
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Installing update...
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
And that's it... so basically back to the start. Any more ideas?

Please help if you have any ideas on what might work. Us 2 guys are in trouble...lol

I don't know if this will help or not but give it a try.
Enter into the download mode and flash any stock firmware using PC Odin. This way you don't need to access any of the cards. After flashing stock ROM, try fixing the internal SD again and if it still doesn't fix, send in your note to Samsung for repairs.
Sounds too simple to be working though but worth a shot.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using XDA

Well for now the phone works, but it's stuck on ICS Stunner. I was thinking to use PC Odin or Mobile ODIN, but what if it doesn't work because the partition is corrupted in some way (as it is now, because CWM can't flash anything).
I'd like to hear more insight before I go the odin-way

Well for now the phone works, but it's stuck on ICS Stunner. I was thinking to use PC Odin or Mobile ODIN, but what if it doesn't work because the partition is corrupted in some way (as it is now, because CWM can't flash anything).

Check out this reply from anti. This is the fix using the pit file option. Try Odin flashing of stock rom....but m doubtful it will work. Fingers crossed!! Hope it gets well for you both

I'm downloading an old GB rom myself..
While I am, I can share a thought: I feel that ICS is not yet ready.. at least not for me. Feels nice and fast but buggy USB transfers is a big no-go for me. Also after trying AOSP derived ROM, I decided to wait for a good Samsung edition ICS because all the little tweaks add a good feeling to the experience, I tend to miss them on AOSP or AOKP or w/e

Oooh thanks! Didn't know this. So now I'm pretty confident because if flashing conventionally fails I'll just repartition and get rid of all the partition errors. What do you know, I feel like I learned something new today

SOB! Just did the whole Odin to stock thing and i am stuck in a bootloop! lol

I think my problem is used a .tar instead of .pit.....where can i get the .pit?

Ye same happened to me. Reboot to recovery (volume up + home + power) and do a data wipe/factory reset. After that it boots. Rooted and flashed CWM just fine after that, copying my old GB nandroid backup to SD card as I write

Glad it helped!
Too bad for me, since I had recovered the latest nandroid with undelete software (cus external sd was accidentally formatted) and now I'm getting a MD5 mismatch Guess I might as well start fresh now, since the last good backup is like 2 months old... Another lesson for me.. always keep your nandroids safe

So everything fine now??

Yeah. After quite a time of failed attempts we succeeded. ODIN > Stock GB ROM > ROOT + CMW > Anything you like. No re-partitioning was needed in the process

i have same problem but more complicated. iam on stock GB and its happened after flash bad kernel
the case in detail's :
i flashed wrong kernel on my device previously and now when iam trying to flash another kernel even use ODIN or CWM everything going well and completed but when check i found the old kernel still. i tried many times with same results and no error .
- system can read/write/mount the internal memory but the new pasted files deleted after restart. external card behave normal and i can preform flash using files pasted on it.
- in CWM wipe/format/flash operations running well but no effect on device even restarted to CWM only.
- device has yellow triangle. is it effected?
- the devil kernel stacked in machine is 2.6.35.7-gb4846d2 [email protected] #2 and the build no. is jpkj4
system running normal but cannot keep any changes i do if restarted.
-system rooted and no problem with root
-can access adb
- ODIN behave same CWM, operation work but no change.
can anyone help me guys?
i did repartition the memory useing PIT for note butno change also
thank you all in advance
