[Q] help required please - Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

after having continual force close from ADW. I pulled the battery. It now wont get passed the first Dell Logo (the screen slightly dims). So i go into clockwork and i now have errors, stopping me from recovering:
E: cant mount /dev/block/innersd0p5
(file exists)
E: cant mount CACHE:recovery/command
E: cant mount
E: cant mount /dev/block/innersd0p5
(file exists)
E: cant mount /dev/block/mmcblk1p1 (or dev/block/mmcblk1)
I cant access my sd card to get my nandroid back up etc.
Therefore i copied the .img files from the sd card and fastboot'd the files manually (with clear cache etc) and i still cant get passed the first logo. Sooo, i install the dell recovery image and flash the 309 pkg of which installs ok, until the end where it cant access the E: (mount errors) However this does at least get further to the animated dell logo, but loops.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance
PS: QDLtool says successful, however i get dell animation repeating. . . .????

Bricked Nook

Hi,
I decided that it was time to CWM my rooted Nook so I could install CM7 Alpha! I used Indirects App to Flash to Recovery, followed the steps carefully...used the "reboot into recovery" option and now the Nook boots into a white screen with a brown box - for about 5-10 secs, then to a black screen.
I create an SD card FAT 32 and added the CMW files to it in the hope I could boot to CWM using this method but it seems like the SD card is ignored completely and goes back to the blank screen. I also tried the acclaim.zip to restore to B&N defaults but it just ignores the SD card (2 different cards).
ADB doesn't work either, tried to re-run the original root script and it doesn't pick up the device.
I didn't do anything different to the instructions, not sure why this has happened....
Can anyone offer a little help?
Thanks
The white screen with brown box is normal, CWM not coming up isn't. Perhaps the file was corrupted during your download. I'd download the sd card files again and retry. Also, I recall something about potentially having to hold power and "n" button while booting in order for nook to boot from sd on some devices. Another alternative is to turn device off, insert sd, then plug nook in and allow it to turn on and boot.
I'm new here, and to android, so, if i'm wrong, hopefully someone will pop in and correct me.
Also, did you try looking at some of the "brick fix" threads in the development section?

Few questions....
Why are you wanting/trying to boot cwm from an sd card if you already flashed it to system using indirects app?
Secondly you CANNOT boot cwm using a fat32 formatted sd card didn't you root your tablet before? You have to write the image to the sd card using the tool for windows and/or linux explained here:

did you try booting from an sd card the proper way? Guess you can't do celtic's instructions since your device is not recognized :/

The Nook is notorious for not recognizing the SD card. Pop it out and put it back in. Then try your process again. Also there are multiple threads on support of CM7 and CWM on the site. Take the time to read through them as there is a wealth of information that will most likely walk you through any issue you may encounter.

If you don't have installed the drivers and adb files because you rooted using the sdcard method then download Drivers+adb.zip with the files you need to make adb work. Just Uncompress the zip, drop the ntroot folder within C:\, run the runmefirst.bat then install the drivers as AlbertWertz shows in his videos ( There is a video collection of his videos in my FAQ >> sticky in General section, post#2) then plug your device open cmd type cd C:\ntroot and you should be good to start using adb.

This is actually an extremely common issue it seems. Basically you're partition map has some how been damaged.
All you need to do is download the snowball mod and extract the 'Prated" binary from the bin directory and push it ot your device.
Go to your device and run the binary with the following ocmmand
parted /dev/block/mmcblk0 print
It will most likely show up with an error and ask if you want to fix it. Just say yes and let it do its' thing.
After it completes, reboot your device and see if you still get the same errors, Attempt to install CM7 once more.
If it still doesn't work, run the parted command again then download Adams total wipe and run that. It'll reset your device back to total stock. The parted command will repair the partition table and adamoutlers software will upload all the required software to the correct places for it all to work
Hope that helps!
If you get stuck feel free to give me a shout
****EDIT****
Just realised you can't get into adb, does the device show if you type adb devices?

Phone stuck in boot loop and red text in recovery

ok so here i am not knowing what to do i need help im not the best in these things can someone clearly point me to a solution or help plz
You need to flash a better recover than the stock recover, which you will likely need to flash with Odin. I'd try the Vibrant board to see if someone there could be of more assistance, but that's basically what you're looking at, as far as I recall from my TMO Vibrant.
Ok here are the updates of the problem, i did the a complete wipe of the phone then flashed the ice cream sandwich from passion from the phone and i loaded now where it bugs is there is no mobile network so im kinda stuck it detect telus under access point but in network operator it find nothing any idea guys?
You need to go back to eh03 via odin. Then flash as usual through cwm. It happened to me before. Without odin you wont get out of this.

[Q] Boot loop woes (Possible FS/partition corruption)

Hey there
I have a pretty serious problem with my I9100... I had installed the Paranoid Android 2.52 ROM and I was trying to switch to a different kernel. Which wasn't working for me, I'm guessing due to the Fastboot feature in that ROM.
The last kernel I tried was the Andromeda one. While trying that, I thought I might try to do a factory wipe using its recovery software, hoping that that might get Paranoid Android to boot.
Unfortunately, it would hang while doing the wipe, and I eventually (after about 20 minutes) power-cycled the device. I tried getting back to my working kernel, but Andromeda's recovery would either error out with mount errors, or it would hang altogether.
Eventually, I tried flashing a CF-Root kernel using Odin, and since then I was unable to get past the Samsung boot splash screen. I could no longer access the recovery software, but I could get into download mode and flash stuff via Odin (Kies won't recognize the device).
I've tried a variety of kernels and firmwares (including the stock one for my phone (GT-I9100_XEF_I9100XWKJ2_I9100XXKI4_I9100XEFKJ1, which I've previously flashed successfully to get it back to a non-rooted vanilla state)), but nothing I did would get the phone to boot.
Thinking the partition table might've been damaged somehow, I attempted the stock firmware from the first post here, including the PIT file and re-partitioning. This process would eventually hang when flashing datafs.
Thinking the bootloader might be damaged, I tried partitioning again, flashing the original bootloader from here, and again flashing the stock firmware that I've used successfully in the past.
I can now actually get past the boot splash! However, the phone boots directly into stock recovery, which looks like it's trying to do some post-update maintenance-type stuff, but fails horribly at it. Some of the output from it scrolls past the viewport, but this is the last lines that I can read:
Code:

It definitely looks like a borked filesystem/partitioning to me. I tried doing a factory wipe in this recovery, but it would hang at formatting /cache.
Any ideas of what I can do to get this thing up and running again?
Thanks in advance,
Daniel
I successfully flashed a CF kernel, and can now access CWM.
I get these error messages, however:
Code:
CWM-based Recovery v5.0.2.7
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
Wiping cache partition in CWM takes care of those errors. Trying a factory reset will give me "Formatting /data..." for a bit, and then the device automatically reboots.
I can format /cache and /system alright, but not /data... I'm fearing that NAND corruption bug I've heard of, except I don't see how I would've caught it...
All right, so I've now confirmed that the Andromeda kernel indeed has the hard-brick bug. Why on earth anyone in their right mind would release a kernel based on that broken leak is beyond my comprehension.
And, to add injury to insult, the devs know there's a problem, yet do not warn about it in the OP, but they mention it some thirty pages into the thread. Thanks, guys!
Anyway, I'm currently scanning my internal storage for damaged areas so that I can custom-PIT my way around it.

Hopefully I'll see my phone booting tonight.
Using the patched PIT workaround, I now have my phone back up and running 2½ GB lost on the internal storage, though, but hey - beats being a paper weight!

Nook Tablet Stuck on TWRP

Okay so last night I attempted to root my nook tablet 1.4.3 using this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2037368. I downloaded all the files that were pointed to in that thread, and followed the instructions. Everything went perfect and soon I was setting up my google account, then following the final steps which involved downloading rom manager, and goo manager. All was well, until I decided to reboot the tablet.
After I rebooted the initial loading seemed fine (got the "n" screen"), then cyanobootloader popped up, then the Team B presents XDA logo popped up and then nothing. The tablet stayed frozen on the Team B logo, and rebooting did nothing.
So being the idiot that I am, I tried going into recovery from the cyanobootloder. This took me to TWRP where my dumbass ended up going to advanced and Wiping the system. After that I tried installing Cm-7-Team-B-Beata1-signed.zip and gapps-gb-20110828-signed.zip from TWRP. The log gives several messages that read:
E: Unable to mount /system
E: Unable to mount /data
E: Unable to mount /cache
E: Unable to mount /emmc
E: Unable to mount /emmc
E: failed to mount /emmc (No such File or directory exist)
E: failed to mount /emmc (No such File or directory exist)
E: failed to mount /emmc (No such File or directory exist)
At this point I was freaking out, stopped using my head, and began trying desperately to go back to stock. I tried using this method http://raywaldo.com/2012/06/how-to-un-brick-a-nook-tablet-8gb-or-16gb/, but it didn't change anything.
I decided then to try redoing the rooting guide again to see if that could solve the problem. It did not.
So now the tablet boots into TWRP when I turn it on. I can also enter CWM-based Recovery using the SD card I made from the guide. However, when I enter CWM-based-recovery I get these messages at the bottom:
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
That's pretty much where I'm stuck on at the moment. I figured I should probably stop messing with this tablet before I made a bigger mess.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I'd suggest that you try flashing afresh a CM10 or CM10.1 build using SDcard based CWM recovery, using a method such as described at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2056626.
In case you're considering using one of the so-called "unbricking" tools, read this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=37515697&postcount=31 first before you pick the wrong tool that would permanently wipe out your NT's individual device specific data like WiFi MAC address, security certificate, serial number, etc.
Nook needs a /recovery folder in /cache partition like /cache/recovery.
Somehow that folder is missing
Is so easy to fix that you will laugh
dd zero the cache partition after you make sure cwm/twrp is not have it mounted check by reading mount /cache if it says unmount cache select it first.
Then format cache in cwm/twrp and that's it. Folder will be created by it self and that error print out will stop.

Vodafone Smart Prime 6 (VF-895N) Bootloop

Hi, my phone was slow booting up (5 minutes) so I wiped cache via recovery mode and it frooze, i disassembled the phone to disconect the battery, and then connected again and turned on and it stays stuck in "powered by android", so I decided to do factory reset but it freezes too!!
I tried to move a zip rom or whatever it is, in sd card but doesnt shows nothing, only shows lots of this messages on the bottom:
E: failed to mount /cache (invalid argument)
E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/log
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/log
this repeats for last_log and last_install.
I searched google and I tried a program called Sugar QCT_SP, I followed instructions from an website called htcmania:
and fails on 5% because of a error COM7 Load NPRG Error (Error code = 5002)
I dont know what to do :crying:
Im a noob in this things can somebody help me
