First, I'm sorry if this was posted before, but I couldn't find it. So here we go.
In front of me I have a friends Verizon Fascinate, it was stock rooted to the update prior to the GB launch [I know because I did it]. Now the issue lies with this:
Code:
Android system recovery (3e)
Enter: OK Key, Select : Vol UP / Vol Down
reboot system now <-selected
apply update from sdcard
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
------------------------------------------------
E:failed to open /res/recovery.fstab (No such fi
le or directory)

nd]
E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/command
E:unknown volume for path [/data/fota]

The only button that works is Home, and all that does is hides/shows the menu system.
Is there any way to get out of this mode without losing anything on the phone [kind of a last resort].
Thanks!
Read through the guide by DROIDSTYLE. Very easy to follow

I did have to restore, but I got lucky, I tried to see if forcing CWM back on [through odin] before restoring the phone may be a fix [go and try to clear the caches] but didn't fix it, but I did get to back it up from there [contacts were saved, but that is a different story].
I restored via Droidstyle's guide, and all went ok, but now I seem to have a "broken" root. SU gives me this error "checking md5sum... fail!". I tried following the instructions on the SU webpage, and still get that error. Anyone have any luck.

section 5 will get your root back or just flash a custom rom...
I followed the guide, and section 5. Even rebooted it, and tried to reinstall, still didn't work, still gets the error.
Well I'm not sure why you can't get root from using section5 it has worked for others including myself flawlessly...anyways I have one more suggestion. go to section 2 find the deodexed eh03 in step 12 download to sd card and flash in cwm. then follow steps 17-20

OK at what point are you getting the errors from section 5?
Is it when you odin?
Can you boot into CWM?
or is it when you flash the SU?

Hello all,
I'm having a problem getting my phone to boot up when I tried flashing back to stock with Odin 1.37 using .512 pit and SGH-T959UVKA6. I have done it successfully in the past, but the mistake i made this go round is I accidentally checked "re-partition" and it gets stuck on the following error in Android System Recovery 3e:
update media, please wait
E: Can't mount /dev/block/st110
(invalid argument)
E: copy_dbdata_media: Can't mount DBDATA:
your storage not prepared yet. Please use UI menu for format and reboot actions.
copy default media content failed.
Can anyone advise if they have fixed this error in the past? I really need to get this phone back to TMO for under warranty repair and am kind of scared of being screwed here.

Nothing to big happened. I check repartition every time I never have any problems.
If it shows u anything ur good.
Boot into download mode and odin back again.

Hmm....
I would agree with you except the following:
1. Tried to flash same without checking repartition...failed x3.
2. tried to flash to JI6 with same pit file...failed.
3. tried to change pit file to 513 and tried again with KA6...failed.
4. tried to go back to 512 and JI6...failed.
I have tried several times variants of all those combos...all failed.
Per the following post I am trying this fix:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=734475
hopefully going back to JFD will fix this....
****NOTE: When I say "Failed" I mean I get the same message that I got when I first received the error.....
Success
Wow the post really did it! Gotta love XDA...quick someone teach me how to thank around here...lol
Hi everyone,
I'm new to the Fascinate. If anyone is up for a challenge and could read the small novel I wrote below I would greatly appreciate it.
I was able to successfully root my Fascinate last week however I got into trouble when I decided I wanted to install a custom rom. I read that the rom required Voodoo which I didn't/still don't know much about. I went to Project Voodoo and downloaded PV 5.5 and flashed it via Odin thinking that this was all I needed to do before installing the custom rom.
Now I'm stuck in Recovery Mode, I've followed several tutorials and tried to install ClockworkMod Recovery via update.zip but every time I run update.zip the install fails and I get the Green Android guy with the ! point. Recovery says Errior in /sdcard/update.zip (status 2) installation aborted.
Re-downloading the file update.zip doesn't change anything.
Also, if I try to wipe data/factory reset I get the following error:
E: Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p3 (No such file or directory)
E: install_application_for_customer: Can't mount HIDDENSCARD: Your storage not prepared yet, please use UI menu for format and reboot actions.
I tried following some of the tutorials to remove VooDoo such as this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=804784 as I think this is why I've gotten into trouble, but I can't install CWM and I've had no luck with ADB and accessing the areas required to replace files on my phone while in recovery mode.
I can't run the Vodoo Uninstaller as I'm stuck in Recovery.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, the fiance isn't liking the current state of her phone.

Thanks DoobiHowserMD for the quick reply. I followed the tut, everything seemed to go well in Odin but now when I turn the phone on it says this:

Formatting FOTA: ....
FOTA wipe failed.
and then it continues to reboot and loop.

Which 2 files did you use?
Just found a solution! Used the "Full DI01 ODIN Package" found here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=867648
Thanks guys for your help, seems like a great community.
Hello all, I have a Fascinate on AOKP Milestone 4. I'm not sure what kernel, I don't think it's Voodoo, it may be Icy Glitch.
I forgot to charge it overnight, it had low power, and I left it on during the day. I tried turning it on, and it just goes the SAMSUNG logo for about 6 seconds, briefly flashes off, then goes back to the SAMSUNG logo for around 30 seconds, then repeats.
If I plug it in with the battery, it goes to the charging screen, which is not animated.
If I plug it it with no battery and the down volume button depressed, it goes to the Download screen.
Any help would be appreciated, I have Nandroids, and I would like to avoid wiping all of my data.
Based on the other threads I searched, I'll have to use Odin. Will this erase my backups/files?
Thanks!
No, ODIN will not erase your backups. Can you get into recovery?
Good to know. What about photos/other files?
And no, only the "download" mode.
Also, is there ODIN for linux?
Check out droidstyles guide. There is a section for you there. I just used Google for the heck of it...yeah I know...and it says that there is no Odin for Linux, on heimdall

You have the symptoms of the dreaded bootloop caused by 3-fingering into recovery on ICS ROM's. Follow section 9 in Droidstyle's guide.
I have tried section 9, and while I can get the stock rom to work, after the next step, I can't three finger, and it boots to the messed up CWM.
I could take a video if that would be helpful.
Thanks!
What do you mean the stock ROM? A video might be helpful.
---------- Post added at 05:39 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:31 AM ----------
Actually, try the bottom part of this post, but use the stock ROM from Droidstyle's guide.
The stock EH03 Gingerbread from section 5 of droidstyles guide.
http://rootzwiki.com/topic/10728-guideinstalling-a-romcwm-recoveryrootor-going-back-to-stock/
It's the stock Samsung touchwiz rom, that works it's just recovery that's messed up.
I'll try the heimdall guide.
Ok, so following the guide, I got to
DI01 all in one: Thanks Adrynalyne.
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=4D3JPBKR
EB01 all in one: Thanks Adrynalyne.

Both of these links are broken, should I open the EH03( "ED05 Froyo: http://dl.dropbox.co...OYO_REL.tar.md5" from droidstyles) tar.md5 and use those files?
thanks!
I apologize, I am a bit confused. Can you give me a step-by-step walkthrough?
I followed this guide:
http://www.galaxyforums.net/forum/s...dall-recovery-how-unbrick-your-fascinate.html and used heimdall.
But instead of using the DI01 or EB01 all in one per instructions, I had to use the
stock EH03 Gingerbread from http://rootzwiki.com/topic/10728-guideinstalling-a-romcwm-recoveryrootor-going-back-to-stock/ section 5.
My phone currently boots into normal Samsung touchwiz, like when I got it.
Three finger goes to Android system recovery <3e>.
Not sure what to do from here.
Use ODIN to flash cwm4 fixed for cm7.
Sorry for the belated reply, but for those finding this thread, the instructions provided worked.
Thanks All!
Hello everbody!
At first, my English isn't very well, so sorry for that.
My Problem:
I wanted to install CM 11 on my Ace I (GT-S5830i), but this extremly failed. To keep it short, i haven't any OS on my device now, but I can enter the CWM (version 6.0.1.2)
What I have done:
Install CWM
wipe data/factory reset + wipe cache partition (but in the Stock recovery)
format /system (in CWM)
Now I get the error message:
E: can't mount Cache/recovery/log
I tried to install CM 11 (for the Ace I (GT-S5830i) for sure)
Install zip from sdcard
but I get these Messages:
Opening update package...
Installing update...
This package is for "cooperve.GT-S5830i, gt-5830i devices; this is a "".
E:Error in /sdcard/cm-11...

Install aborted.
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 openCache/recovery/last_log
I was so silly and didn't make a backup.
When I try to start the device, only the gt-5830i-Logo appears, of course, ther is no OS installed.
So what can I do? Is there any chance to install an OS?
I also tried to install the Stock Firmware with Odin; result failed.
Thanks!
Edit:
Odin works, now I have the Stock Firmware, but I can't flash CM 11;

This error is not serious, it just means, that it cannot create log files, because of the missing cache partition.
I also got this error when using the "on-the-fly" CWM.
If you install a ROM (which has a kernel), then CWM gets installed to the recovery/kernel partition, then you have a "rock stable" CWM.
Hopefully without errors. But for now, you can just ignore this error.

On some devices the device info in the properties is empty, and therefore the updater-script thinks, the device is not supported.
If you know exactly that your device is supported, you can delete the first lines of the updater-script.
Steps
Open the *.zip with WinRAR or similar
Go to META-INF\com\google\android
Extract the updater-script (Drag & Drop), don't close WinRAR
Open the updater-script with your favorite text editor (i.e. notepad++)
Delete the first lines containing "assert(getprop("ro.product.device") == "your_device" || getprop(...) == "...");"
This line can be on multiple lines, so be sure to delete the complete "assert" statement
Drag & Drop the modified updater-script into WinRAR (same folder as before)
Optionally sign the *.zip
Install it with CWM
Be sure what you are doing (at your own risk)
If it worked, feel free to hit Thanks :victory:
Thank you for your efforts, I really appreciate it, but I solved the Problem.
As I said, now I have the Sotck Firmware (thanks Odin ^^).
I flashed CWM again with Odin, and tada, I could install CM 11, without any Problems.

Yeah, flashing the CWM with Odin is another great solution.
Then you have a working CWM out of the box, and the device properties are setted correctly.
