My daughters cubby is preforming a factory reset every time it is powered off. It is running Android 4.4.2 v4.6_20140408. I noticed it started after the internal SD card partition was erased.
When the tablet is loading in system recovery the following is displayed:
E: failed to mount /cache (Invalid argument)
E: failed to mount /data (Invalid argument)
E: failed to mount /cache (Invalid argument)
E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/log
E: Can't open /cache/recovery/log
E: failed to mount /cache (Invalid argument)
E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/last_log
E: Can't open /cache/recovery/last_log
E: failed to mount /cache (Invalid argument)
E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/last_install
E: Can't open /cache/recovery/last_install
E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/last_log
E: failed to mount /cache (Invalid argument)
I believe the file structure needs to be restored/recreated, but I don't know what it should be or if it might be a different issue. Preforming the factory reset doesn't solve the problem.
Did you ever find a fix? I am having the same problem.
Unfortunately, I did not.
Same problem here. We've been dealing with it since mid-2018. The best advice I have is to always keep it plugged in and never let it power down or run out of battery. I wish I never did the factory reset on it. However, I will add that we have another Cubby that works FINE after the reset (in fact, I've reset it a few times now). The production date is a year newer than the Cubby that won't behave. We finally went to the Amazon Fire in 2018 and we do not like it as much as we loved the Sprout Cubby! My daughter's Fire died after 2 years, and we recently have brought the good Cubby out again. Now my other daughter is asking for hers (the one that malfunctions). I am revisiting this to see if anything can be done to save it-- but so far, no luck.

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
Hy, please i will like to solicit for your assistance, I bought a new Gionee v1(mtk6575 device) 4 days ago, after installing an app, the phone now doesn't boot but only shows white light, and if a boot it into recovery mode and try to wipe/data reset, i get multiple errors like:

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)
E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/log
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/log

apply update from ADB
adb was...weird. I verified the connection through adb devices, but most commands, including adb reboot bootloader, resulted in error: closed.
Windows side:
Code:

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..

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:
Checking MD5 sums...
Erasing boot before restore...
restoring boot image...
restoring system...
E:format_volume: make_ext4f4fs failed on /dev/block/mmcblk0p5
