My Fonepad K019, got it from ebay months or years ago and used it daily, is not starting anymore without me doing something like root or flash.
I use it for information and news, too. So I need it really.
It powers on with Asus symbol on display and then comes
for 2sec “installing system update...”
then “error!” for a few minutes?, then starting again. Same again. And again.
I have not tried to update or root or flash !! I put it on factory mode a few weeks ago and then installed apps I need, apks from not google play, too (banking, packstation, writing).
I get with power on/off and volume high into a menu, sometimes:
"Android system recovery 3e
LRX22C.WW_fonepad-12.14.3.18-20150916 release keys
Volume up/down to move highlight;
enter button to select.
reboot system now
apply update from ADB
wipe date/factory reset
wipe cache partition
reboot to bootloader
power down
view recovery logs
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
E:failed to mount /sdcard (No such file or directory)
E:failed to map file
SD installation aborted.
E:Installation failed with status 1"
I have done “wipe cache/factory reset” for ten times
and “wipe cache partition” for ten times, too.
Its still the same.
No I dont know what I can do now to make Fonepad work again?
Where is this update, which the phone is talking about, coming from? From Google play, some kind virus? I havent done this!!
Is there any hope for my Fonepad?

Hey guys,
It looks like I've finally screwed up my phone. It was bound to happen.
Here's what happened:
I was running an unchanged, rooted rom. I installed RyanA's lagfix, which worked, but didn't make a huge difference.
So I unapplied it, and then applied the voodoo lagfix. This worked great until I tried to install a backup. I forgot to disable voodoo, and now I'm stuck.
Problems:
The phone boots up, I can use it and everything, but I have 0.00 application space. I cannot install anything!
I cannot enter USB mode in any way. I installed the drivers, uninstalled them, re-installed... nothing. I am running Windows 7, but I tried it on an XP machine, still nothing.
If I go into Clockwork to try to factory reset, or install my backup stock rom, I get this error:
E: Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p2
(File exists)
Error mounting /data/!
Skipping format...
Copying files...
E: Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p2
(File exists)
E: Can't mount DATA:
E: Failure at line 372:
copy_dir PACKAGE:data DATA:
Installation aborted.
Lastly, I can't enter download mode at all. I may have a hardware locked Vibrant, because I've never been able to get into it. This is a problem, because I can't flash Odin to fix this whole mess.
I now come to you people who have been super helpful in the past! What can I do aside from cry?
You are getting that error becuase you still have a ext4 partition in place. If you can still acess your sd card,then download "disable-lagfix" zip,or create a file by that name in the "voodoo" folder (reboot), or flash zip through clockwork. Then run your nandroid backup. I always keep that zip on my sdcard for this very situation.
If you can boot up, and get into the Android OS, you can almost assuredly fix it.
What have you tried to get into Download mode? Try to follow these instructions exactly.
1- Install Samsung Kies. (This will install the drivers needed for your phone onto your computer).
2- Power down your phone.
3- Remove the battery.
4- Plug a usb cable into your phone.
5- Plug the usb cable into your computer.
6- While holding your phone with one hand, press and hold the Volume Up AND Volume Down button AND the power button.
7- While holding down all three buttons, put your battery into the phone.
8- As soon as you put the battery back in you will see a small icon in the center of the screen, as soon as it goes away, (it will be a solid black screen) release ONLY the power button. Continue to hold the Volume keys. Timing is important here, you must release the button as soon as you see a black screen after the initial animation.
This should get you into Download mode where you can flash with Odin and fix it right up.
Hope this helps.
Thanks for the speedy response guys. I'll give it a shot now and see what happens!

I ended up making this very same mistake a few days ago. This might be silly, but have you tried disabling Voodoo yet? When this happened to me, I was able to put the "disable lagfix" file in the Voodoo folder and it fixed it. It copied the ext4 back to rfs and I was then able to restore a backup and my /data was recognized once again with no errors.

You are an absolute genius! I just got in on the first try following those instructions!
It looks like everything is on the way to working again, thanks so much!!
And thanks everyone else for the help!
I didn't personally come up with that procedure, I found it in other threads here on XDA after a couple hours of searching since I soft bricked my phone yesterday. Glad I could relay the info and help you out.
I have a Kindle Fire HD 6 that appears to be bricked...
I did not do the attempted root, so I'm not sure what went into it, but I know it has been tinkered with.
It boots to the Fire System Recovery screen, giving the option to Reboot or Reset to Factory Defaults. Both options result in a reboot to the same screen.
The system recovery screen has a series of lines of code at the bottom such as:
E: failed to mount ...
E: Can't mount ...
E: Can't open ...
I have tried booting while holding the volume button down, power button, etc. with no luck.
any ideas? is it done for?
note: it is no longer in warranty, so that's not an option

we are in teh same boat.
looks like unique solution is something to do with factory cable, a special cable which shorts pin 4 and pin1 on usb connector, which makes the tablet boot into fastboot mode.
let me know if you find something really useful, I have been lookng for info for days now.
Got this phone yesterday and the previous guy said update failed
now at this screen

will pay if someone can fix remotely

You must still have access to fastboot, if you got your phone yesterday then I'm assuming you haven't unlock it yet, so have you tried the DLOAD method from sdcard?
Usually that fixes the issue since it rewrites the system completly.
If you don't have a link, here's a guide for you from dear @Merlin_99:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/huawei-p20-lite/how-to/root-how-to-install-update-t3841557
You can do everything there except this last part:
"Finally, enter to the project menu from dialer typing *#*#2846579#*#* ==> Software Upgrade ==> SdCard Upgrade.
Wait for the installation and before configuring the device enter in Recovery Mode (from the phone off, VOLUME-UP + POWER ON) and make Wipe Cache Partition, Wipe Data/Factory Reset, Reboot System Now. "
Because we need to be able to do it without powering on into the system since it's corrupted.
After you copied the files needed power off your device and then press POWER ON + Volume Plus + Volume Minus until a circle of EMUI appears and release them because the update progress has started.
That's all if you didn't use DLOAD method before.
Cheers,
AS
I can't get rid of the below, no matter how many wipes, or cache partition clears, and the recovery logs list just grow and grows.
My phone was never rooted by me, until I found my cell restarted one day for no reason.
There was no power issue, OTA update, it was very odd.
Can get into CRAZY details, so, anyway.
I get the below, was able to get rid of the bottom two lines once, how? But trying what I thought I did to get rid of them, brought them back again.
#Reboot Recovery Cause is [[BootChecker]RebootRecoveryWithKey]#
No Support SINGLE-SKU
File-Based OTA
Supported API: 3
E:unknown volume for path [/odm]
E:unknown volume for path [/vendor]
E:unknown volume for path [/odm]
E:unknown volume for path [/vendor]
# MANUAL MODE v1.0.0#
Flashed using odin and sammob firmware, and still have the above, and the crazy recovery log list (forg that is just growing, up to 9 now.
Ideally? Would love to have the memory totally wiped, if possible, to the last binary that is not needed and wiped.
Add a fresh stock flash, so I can put my new sim and phone number, as soon as possible.
Just the hacking got so bad, that I turned off my phone last month, new years eve.
Greetings!
Well, I have a tablet that is very old, and I would like to convert it to a Picture Frame, that is, using an application that will only show pictures with X seconds delay. I've already done that and it works fine.
The problem is that this tablet is stuck in Recovery Mode. I have performed a Factory reset, but it seems that the "Factory" software was not available anymore.
In the recovery screen, I can see 8 options and one of them is "Apply Update From ADB". I have tried to do that with an image file from AOC (8Y3282-H.img).
The ADB side (my PC), after issuing the command "ADB sideload 8Y3282-H.img" shows:
Opening '8Y3282-H.img'...
Connecting...
Falling back to older sideload method...
"Sending:" with a counter from 1 to 100% progress...
then it finishes, without any message.
But, on the tablet side, it shows:
Restarting adbd...
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Verifying update package...
Installation aborted.
And that's all. If I try to reboot the tablet, it returns to this "Android system recovery <3e>" screen.
Maybe I am using a wrong file.
There's also an option "Apply rkimage from external storage". If I can get a "RKIMAGE" file, I can copy to an SDCard and try that.
The AOC Tablet is model 8Y3282-H. It is the "Breeze 8".
I would appreciate If anybody could send me an image file (any image), or an old system backup file, or even any ROM file that I can use, any version, even from similar models - I would like to try ANYTHING to make it boot, then I could configure it to the Picture Frame thing.
The next step would be to discard this tablet, so any test is valid.
Thanks in advance.
The way to exit Android Recovery Mode is really easy. The Revovery menu has the Reboot System Now function to reboot your phone. So just press your Volume keys to select this function and then confirm Reboot System Now by pressing your Home button. Then your Android phone will exit Recovery Mode and reboot by itself. Just wait for a few minutes, and you can use your phone normally.

Thank you for your answer, but as I said in my original message "And that's all. If I try to reboot the tablet, it returns to this 'Android system recovery <3e>' screen."
It doesn't matter what option I try, and what I do after the "Installation Aborted" message, like Reboot, Power Off-On, the works... It always return to that Recovrery screen...
Anyone?
I still want to recover this tablet. It would be a nice electronic photo-frame to my office...
Again, ANY "RKIMAGE" would be of great use....
