My wife's father in Taiwan received a Viewpad 7e as a gift. One of his son's immediately tried to hack it and get the android market going and the unit is boot looping now. My wife brought it back here to me to try and fix it.
I've gotten a factory TW rom from someone who works at VS and I put the zip file in the root of the SD card and followed the instructions to hold the power and volume up keys.
It goes into recovery mode ("Android System Recovery <3e>") and then I get the following messages at the bottom:
Recovery System version for VS v1.9
boot flag = 1
enter OTA update mode.
E:Can't find update package
E:Can't find update package
Update error.
Then choosing "Apply update from /sdcard" results in the following:
E:Unkown volume for path [/sdcard]
Wipe data/factory reset gives the following:
-- Wiping data...
Formatting /data...
E:format_volume: fs_type "ext3" unsupported
Formatting /cache...
E:format_volume: fs_type "ext3" unsupported
Data wipe complete
I have no idea what my brother-in-law did, but does this make any sense to anyone? Is there any way for me to get this factory rom back on there?

Hello,
Did you have the same problem or was it resolved ?
Because i did the same and my viewpad always reboots on viewsonic
I installed the firmware found on viewsonic's site but while it's loading it's written :
E:Can't open/tmp/userdata.zip (No such file or directory)
But for the rest it's ok
What's the matter
I bought this tablet 4 months ago but the problem is I rooted it so I can't send it on repair
Have you got some ideas !!!

Trying to regain root.
Hello everyone! I've been trying to fix this phone for hours now and I'm not sure what to do. It was rooted at one point and is now stuck in this boot loop. Every time It is turned on, it goes to the blue recovery screen. I did the wipes that are available and tried installing the update.zip but every time I do, I get this error:
E:Can't mount /dev/block/vold/179:9
(No such file or directory)
E:Can't mount SDCARD:update.zip
installation aborted.
I can get it into download mode so I'm hoping there is a way to just reset the phone with odin so I can start from scratch. The problem is, every guide I find leads to broken download links and 404 errors. If any of you could help me get this thing going again, I would be so incredibly grateful. Thanks in advance for all your help!
Nevermind, got it figured out. Couldn't find how to delete the post.
Let me just start out by saying I'm a nube with limited skills. I have a Samsung Showcase SCH-S950C for Straightalk. I was sitting around on saturday and decided I would figure out how to root my phone because I had nothing better to do. I followed the instructions in a forum on this site and was able to root with no issues. After that I of course then decided to try my hand in flashing a custom rom to the phone (cyanogenmod) and this is where i went wrong. After flashing the rom I booted the phone and now the rom won't load and is stuck saying, "Unfortunately, setup wizard had stopped" and "Unfortunately, the process android.process.acore has stopped." The only menu I can get into is the sound menue via the volume key.
The next step I took was to reboot the phone back into CWM to see what I could do. Upon loading I was faced with the below 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
Tried wiping the cache, factory reset and wiping dalvik and am unable to do so. It won't mount the cache, data or datadata. I then tried to put it back to stock via instructions for flashing a recovery mod for the phone and that did not take because I cant wipe it. From what I read i need to repartition the phone to fix this issue but I do not know how and honestly not even sure exactly what that means. As I said to start Im a nube. I also noticed in USB mode it says i now have 4 custom binarys on the phone and Im sure that is not helping things.
This is the point I stopped so as not to completely FUBAR the phone, if I have not already done so. If anyone can point me in the write direction on how to proceed I would greatly appreciate the help.

There are no roms for this device, that seems like the first problem. Try taking a look at this https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-k7/how-to/stock-firmware-rom-unbrick-lg-k7-k330-t-t3432878
No i did
I flashed the tmobile version and now ot wont turn on the it started when i flashed a tmobile zip and it gave me an error failed to mount system i rebooted it and now it won't turn on of go into download mode
Hi, I wonder if you can help.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S3 GT-i9300 White 16GB, purchased in the UK for T-Mobile.
Some time ago I unlocked it to accommodate a Virgin Sim.
It has never been rooted, always running Stock Rom.
Just recently, on powering up, it reached the "Samsung Galaxy S III GT-I9300" splash screen and got no further.
Initially, I couldn't get to Recovery Mode, but could access Download Mode, so I flashed Stock Recovery. From here I attempted to "wipe data/factory reset", and received a barrage of errors, some of which are below:
Error mounting /data
E: format _volume: make_extf4fs failed on /dev/block/mmcblk0p8
E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/log
E: Can't open /cache/recovery/log
I have read and executed a string of methods from other threads on this forum, and some Youtube videos, in an attempt to get it working again. This included using ADB, on some of the mmcblk0p directories, but have failed to get the phone back in working order, stock would be ideal.
Currently I have ClockworkMod Recovery v6.0.4.7 installed, but can change that again if need be.
I'm not precious about any of the data on the phone. I have a Mac and Jodin, and do have access to a PC and Odin, but only at work. Any help and guidance would be greatly appreciated. Should you require further info from me please do ask.
Thanks... Calhoon
Flash a stock rom via odin before you knacker it completely.
The problem is the recovery partition as that loads everything to start the os and it is complaining that it can't find cache. That means one of 2 things. Either the recovery partition is borked and needs fixing or the nand itself has died. You will only find out by flashing a stock rom, preferably the same as what was already on it but if you don't know then go for the latest. Make sure you get a single package and not the 4 individual parts.

Thanks shivadow,
Really appreciate your guidance here.
Gonna try and give you as much info as I can here. I followed your suggestion above.
Using on Windows 10, ODIN V1.85, which had Auto Reboot and F.Reset Time ticked.
I set the phone in Download Mode, (Power Button+Home+Volume Down), and connected to the PC via USB.
The screen before you press Volume Up to enter Download mode shows a yellow triangle with an exclamation mark.
Download Mode shows Custom Binary Download: Yes (7 counts)
Odin shows status: yellow 0:[COM3] <ID:0/003>Added!!
To the PDA section I added this md5 file : I9300XXUGML2_I9300TMUGML2_I9300BVUGML1_HOME.tar.md5
which I'd extracted from TMU-I9300XXUGML2-20140325171933.zip, which I believe is 4.3 Jellybean for the UK T-Mobile handset.
I chose this as although now unlocked, this handset was originally a T-Mobile phone.
On Odin, I then pressed Start. A blue progress bar is shown on the phone.
This reaches its end and Odin reports Success.
The phone rebooted, I held the Recovery button config, Power Button, Home and Volume Up.
Initially I see the Android image with the blue icon, then it switches to the Android on its back with the red icon.
Once in Recovery the phone reports:
E: failed to mount / efs (No such file or directory)
E: failed to mount /cache
E: failed to mount/data
E: failed to mount/data/log/recovery_log.txt
E: failed to mount/system
E: failed to mount/cache recovery/log
can't open /cache recovery/log
Can't mount cache/recovery/last_log
Can't open cache/recovery/last_log
Can't mount /cache/recovery/last install
Can't open cache/recovery/last install
I then selected Wipe Data/Factory Reset, and the phone responds with:
Wiping data
Formatting /data
E: format_volume: make_extf4fs failed on /dev/block/mmcblk0p12
Formatting /cache
E:format_volume: make_extf4fs failed on /dev/block/mmcblk0p8
Data wipe complete
E:failed to mount /cache (Block device required)
can't mount /cache recovery/log
can't open /cache recovery/log
etc
This is the cycle I've basically been stuck in whilst attempting to recover this phone.
Any more advice would be greatly appreciated, and should you require further details from me, be it more in depth or not, please don't hesitate to ask.
Many thanks already.... Calhoon. :good:
Looks like the internal memory chip may be damaged.
You could take it to a cell shop to see if it can be force flashed using something like at Octopus Box.

Hi, thanks for the reply and advice.
Would you mind letting me know what is it that told you the internal memory chip may be damaged?
And if anyone else out there has an opinion I'd be please to hear it out.
Thanks.. Calhoon
Partitions that cannot be mounted by stock recovery is an indication of a memory problem. It could be that all partitions need to be re-created or the memory chip is damaged.
A failed memory chip on cellphones is not uncommon.

Apart from visiting a cell shop and asking them to force flash it, is there any way that you know where I could recreate the partitions myself?
Thanks again... Calhoon:good:
Dead phone. You can try flashing the original recovery on its own but if it fails to flash or fails to boot afterwards you can safely assume it us a dead phone with no way to recover it. Not even Samsung can do it. The only option is replace the motherboard.
