Hello,
I've been trying to get my Desire X rooted for a really long time, but everytime I try and flash SU, it says it cannot mount my /cache/.
After looking around on the internet I've come to the conclusion that my cache is probably corrupted. I can't wipe it either, since it doesn't mount. I've tried it via adb, TWRP, CWM, and I have no idea how to fix this issue anymore.
After digging further, it seems to be a faulty partition table. I can't figure out if it's due to the hardware or not.
Can anyone help me get the flash to work in any way? 'Cause I'm out of ideas
Extra information (I have no idea how much you would need, so I will put as much as I can gather here):

Trying to format /cache/ via CWM:
Code:

Trying to check for partition of my cache with e2fsck:
Code:
8|[email protected]:/ $ e2fsck -f -c -y /cache/
e2fsck 1.41.12 (17-May-2010)
e2fsck: Is a directory while trying to open /cache/
The superblock could not be read or does not describe a correct ext2
filesystem. If the device is valid and it really contains an ext2
filesystem (and not swap or ufs or something else), then the superblock
is corrupt, and you might try running e2fsck with an alternate superblock:
e2fsck -b 8193 <device>
Try a different recovery like Philz Touch 5.15 or TWRP which is suitable for 1.25 (JB). It seems to me that you use a wrong or old recovery. Search in the threads. Don't forget that you are S-ON so formatting some partitions isn't always possible (and necessary).
Pick a ROM of your choice, I like one of these Take out the boot.img which is the kernel. Use the fastboot command for flashing a JB-kernel manually (because you are S-ON). Then install the ROM package with Philz or TWRP. That should be it. No SU or other stuff needed. Be carefull with formatting or using old software-tools.

I used zaclimon's Stock ROM and pit file for the SGP 4.0 US 8GB http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1531850 and cannot load into the Android system. I can access the "Downloading" mode and recovery. I tried flashing Steves kernel. I wiped data, cache partition, and Dalvik cache and the device still isnt able to load the Android system. Are there any other stock ROMs I can try?

I think it's just the bootloader file. I have found many others have had this problem. Any help?

Did you wipe data in the stock recovery?

I wiped data, and cache partition, it removes the errors but it keeps loading into recovery.
I think it's the .pit file because after I flashed it that was when it started to load into recovery. I have no idea what to do now. Everything I try does nothing. It continues to load into recovery.

I tried this and ended up just like you. After messing with this for a week I finally got it to work. I had to use heimdall. I used ver 1.32 make sure you follow the instruction about installing drivers or it will not work. Odin woul dnot work for me. Follow the instructions in Zaclimon post. Where I got confused was in the partions. I was doing them one at a time as it said but what is meant is list them in the order in heimdall so it does it in that order and moves to the next one. When done it will reboot into your stock ROM. Let me know if you have any questions
So I was trying to partition my external SD card to Ext4 and I accidentally partitioned my internal one. I have CWM recovery on it. When I go into advanced and try to partition the sdcard, it partitions, but I still get errors...I get general errors like
Code:
E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/log
Code:
E: Can't open /cache/recovery/log
Code:
E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/last_log
Code:
E: Can't open /cache/recovery/last_log
and that's not all.When I try to wipe data/factory reset, I get flooded with errors like
Code:
W: failed to mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p6 (Block device required)
Code:
W: Can't unlink /cache/revocery/command
Code:
I: Can't format unknown volume: /external_sd
Code:
I: Can't partition an unsafe device: /dev/block/mmcblk0p8
Code:
Error mounting /sdcard/.android_secure!
Code:
Skipping format...
Code:
Data wipe complete.
Please tell me my device isn't bricked. It's a Blu Life Play L100a. I have android ADB installed, but I have never used it.
I'm trying to install the rom miui in my neken n6
First I rooted the phone successfully, after I installed "rua1 autoCWM v5.5.0.4 for neken n6".
The problem is when I restart in recovery mode I get some errors in the beginning:
E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/command
E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/log
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/command
E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/last_log
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/last_log
If I try to wipe data/factory reset i get:
"

Formatting /cache...
E:format_volume: make_ext4fs failed on /dev/block/mmcblk0p6

"
If I go to "mounts and storage" anything that I try to mount also gives error.
I restart the phone and nothing changed, all the data is still there.
Any help would be very very appreciated
Thanks

My dad recently bought an HP 10 tablet from my uncle and asked me to root it...which was a mistake. I had a successful root with the Android-based version of King Root, cleaned it up with SuperSU Me, and thought everything was fine until I rebooted...and the tablet got stuck on the boot animation. Booting with the volume down button down resulted in just the HP logo, without the boot animation. Booting with the volume up button down booted into recovery. When I boot into recovery I'm greeted by this lovely message at the bottom:
Code:
E:failed to mount /cache (Invalid argument)

UPDATE.ZIP came from HP's download page. I just don't know what to do at this point.
Please help also having the same problem with my HP 8 G2 1411
You can't reboot in adb sideload, you can't do many things in adb sideload since it is intended for recovering from a brick and that is the only feature I know (if you have a custom recovery and want to do a clean install, you wipe every partition and then sideload it, so the sideload feature is intended for flashing), you can't reboot, I fired up my test device to confirm this and it was true. If you extract the .zip file, does it contain any .img files and .gz files?
Crap, somehow I missed this thread actually getting a reply. Thanks!
Yes, there is a boot.img file as well as a system folder containing what I'm used to seeing in the root directory.

Can you boot into the bootloader? It can be a weird combination by the way, my tablet is press and hold power button then one second later you'd have to press and hold volume down.
I'm not entirely sure what the bootloader looks like, so I don't know if I have. As mentioned in OP, I did manage to boot into something that just showed the HP logo and nothing else. In that stage I tried both adb devices and fastboot devices, but nothing showed up. Rebooting into recovery and picking apply update from ADB was the only way I was able to get it to be recognized by adb devices so far.

Extract the boot.img and then adb sideload it. Report result and log.
For your information, the boot.img is the kernel so you will basically reflash the kernel.
If I helped, hit "thanks" .
I got the same result for both update.zip files on the support website. boot.img was extracted using 7-zip both times.
Code:
C:\WINDOWS\System32>adb sideload boot.img
loading: 'boot.img'
* cannot read 'boot.img' *
It is my first time trying to port roms... it seems like i messed up..
First.. i have ported my roms using this guide:
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2707438
and made a mistake while registering my device on kitchen (copied all text from recovery.fstab to A11Q)
and thoroughly followed steps until porting Step I (use CWM to port)... and didnt realise it until my 3rd times reading it..
and it seems my sd card partition also messed up..
when i boot to recovery mode... there's a message like this:
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
and then.. i searched for solution and one of the source said to format /cache, when i do there a message like this:
Formatting /cache...
E:format_volume: make_ext4f4fs failed on /dev/block/mmcblk0p6
Error formatting /cache
and it was the same with /data, /system, /cache, /emmc,.. only /sdcard, and /sd-ext worked somehow...
i tried to restore but it said:
