[Q] Sprint GTab bricked - Stuck at Samsung logo

Hello everyone,
I've been having a really bad time with my Spring GTab in the last few days... to keep it simple:
1. Had a stock GTab that was showing problems, most of the applications were crashing (force closed), but it was still usable after a reboot. On one of those reboots it did not came up any more and got stuck at the Samsung logo.
2. After researching on the forums, tried to install 2.3.3 following this procedure:
http://androidadvices.com/how-to-update-samsung-galaxy-tab-to-stable-gingerbread-2-3-3-firmware/
Odin successfully installed the ROM, got to recovery mode and tried to factory/clear cache. Showed errors... Stuck at Samsung logo again.
3. Tried to install the stock sprint EA24 following these steps:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1009926
No matter what I do, Odin stops at recovery.bin and fails.
4. Following the suggestions there I then installed nomodem EJ30 successfully, but again got stuck at samsung logo. Tried to install the EA24 from there with no luck, still failing at recovery.bin.
So as of now, I am at the same point as at the beginning, stuck at the Samsung logo...
Guys this is driving me crazy... any help will be highly appreciated!!!!!!

Thanks for the reply, already did.... same results... something that I'm seeing in recovery is:
E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1
Not sure if that's the problem....

Do a little search(there's a search botton) on this forum it's a common problem, already answered if I remember correctly. Hope it helps.

Did you try this ? The first boot always takes a little longer, be sure to let it boot long enough.

I already answer this in other treat. Anyway, i answer it again.

lol
My meaning, flash back to stock rom that originally come with your tab and see how its going on.

Hi, I tried SPH-P100.EA24.SECURE.REV07-FULL_CL871413.tar, which is the stock rom, it loaded correcty using Heimdall, but removing the modem, but it is still stuck at the samsung logo, I left it on during all the night yesterday but it did not loaded...

I am seeing the following errors in the recovery mode:
E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1
(no such file or directory)
E:Can't mount CACHE:log/recovery.log
E:Can't open CACHE:log/recovery.log
E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1
(no such file or directory)
Not sure if this is the problem... what do you think?

Can I load any of these firmwares? I want to test but trying to avoid making the problem bigger...

Yea, I tried pulling the battery out, different button combos and nothing. It wont respond to anything. Being plugged into the computer car wall just doesnt respond.

I Think it may be bricked...

Was your phone previously rooted and did you have USB debugging mode on?
Sent from my LG Thrill 4G

If you can't get it working, and are still under warranty, they seem to be much more relaxed about rooting etc.... I did a similar thing, and called in. They replaced it no problem.

To add to my last statement, I even told them that I rooted the phone and was putting CWM on it.

mine bricked too
i bricked my thrill also and need help please it is rooted with stock rom cause i never could get the flash tool to work or adb commands so i left it stock but i need to fix it if possible i googled and googled but everything i tried just doesnt seem to work i may not be following directions well can anyone help it would be greatly appreciated since lg cant help

Did you try pressing the key combo for Recovery Mode for minimum a minute?
I don't know, Google will tell you. Maybe [Home + Power + Volume Up]..

Recovery mode.
[VOL DOWN + 3D] + POWER
Sent from my LG Thrill 4G

yes it is 3d volume down and power i did and the stock recovery comes up and it says cannot mount CACHE:recovery/command
cant mount CACHE :recovery/log
cant open CACHE :recovery/log
but i still went through all the options several times

Everyone can PM me. It would be easier for me to solve individual situations.

E:Can't mount CACHE:recovery/log - bricked?

So I was putting V21A on my p925g, got it on and working fine, rooted it, and then when I started to flash CWM, it started acting funny. It told me to mount the SD card, so I went into options and mounted it, everything seemed fine. I then went to flash CWM again and it told me to mount the SD Card again, so I restarted my phone, and thats when it stopped working.
When I boot into Android System Recovery <3e> it says:
E:Can't mount CACHE:recovery/command
E:Can't mount CACHE:recovery/log
E:Can't open CACHE:recovery/log
and if I try to wipe data/cache/ or any of the options, it says completed, then it says E:can't mount CACHE:recovery/log
So.. am I totally screwed now..? Is there a way I can have my device recognized by USB so I can re-flash V21A, or recover the phone?

Yes it boots to the logo, but the problem is I can't get it to be recognized as a USB device.. Therefore I can't flash, or do anything like that..
Edit: Also I've tried to get download mode to work, but I can never seem to actually get it to work.

Ok turn It off pull the battery out then hold down the buttons for download mode plug the usb in and put the battery back in all wile hold those button down and let go when it vibrats or when devise manger sees it

Haha thanks anyways, I managed to get it working. My problem was holding down the power button too long, which would shut the phone off.. >.<... Your thread is very good, and straight forward, ive learned quite a bit about my phone. Just a tip to others who flash the v21a - root using super one click, and then flash CWM via dark's flash manager, I tried to flash through rom manager, and it gave me the option for the optimus x2, thinking nothing of it, i flashed it which was the source of my problems.. im now using the King 3D rom.. has everything I need, the only downfall for me is frequent browser crashes..

Optimus 3D with an identical problem
Hi guys,
UK based noob here in desperate need of some help! My LG Optimus 3D won't boot past the stock Android recovery screen. When i select "Wipe cache" etc it displays "can't mount CACHE:recovery/log".
Using the method of pressing volume up & power button i can get Windows to recognise the phone when looking at Device Manager (it shows "LGE mobile composite USB device"), but ADB doesn't let me communicate with the phone and neither does any other program.
Please please please can someone help me?! How can i fix my phone?
BACKGROUND-
I got to this stage after doing the following: i used LG Mobile Update (after a LOT of messing about trying to get it to work) to update to Android 2.3.5. It kept all my data and settings but unrooted my phone. So i re-used SuperOneClick to root my phone again.
Upgrading to Android 2.3.5 didn't give me the updated stock email app, so i wanted to try and update that myself. I went into ROM Manager.. and here is where i think i made my mistake. Instead of flashing ClockworkMod Recovery as i would do normally to do a backup image of my phone, i instead went straight to "Backup existing ROM" in the main ROM Manager page. My phone rebooted itself.. and now i am where i am. Screwed!

I'm not exactly sure, but once I got my phone in download mode (volume up + power) I just used dark lestat's guide to flash the european V21A KDZ. Once I flashed that, I downloaded his recovery manager, and flashed CWM that way. The first time I flashed CWM via rom manager is what caused all my problems..

Yeah that's where I went wrong too.
I seem to be able to get it in some sort of download mode, but I'm not entirely sure. I use the volume up + power button technique. I used the LG update software to download a recovery image and it started updating the phone, but when it gets to 15% complete it says the connection between the computer and the phone has been lost. It's really annoying!
I'll re-read Dark Lestat's guide and try that. Thanks for your response.

Got it working! Dark Lestat's guide worked a treat. I honestly thought I'd bricked my phone.

[Q] Bricked my LG P990H (?)

So, I was on MIUI 2.4.6 with Etana Kernel.. then I thought that flashing some new kernel would take me advantages. But, I did it wrong, I've flashed the SuperNova RC2 (ICS KERNEL).
After that, the phone started (ok!) and everything was fine. But showed the message "DAMAGED SD CARD", so I formated it, then I rebooted my phone.
After that, the phone power up, shows the first LG screen, the second LG screen and after enter on ClockWorkMod Recovery.
I've tried to put MIUI back again, Etana Kernel too, wipe data, wipe cache, wipe everything. But nothing it's working.
So, I need some help in this case. Oh, my phone doesn't enter in the S/W UPGRADE screen too.
What can I do? Thanks!
EDIT:
That's what is on ClockworkMod Recovery screen:
ClockworkMod Recovery v5.0.2.0
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

Can you still enter CWM? (hold volume down + power button until second LG bootscreen with the blueish background) If so, wipe everything (really everything) and flash MIUI + ETaNa Kernel again.
If not you could either try Smartflash or Nvflash, they both are able to recover a soft-bricked phone. Our phone is virtually impossible to hard-brick because you can always revive it with nvflash (or smartflash). I believe you can find some guides in the dev section (I'm not sure though) but you can always use the search button.
Good luck!

The good news is that no, you most definitely have not completely bricked your phone. Bricking your phone means that it is literally as useful as a brick; it won't turn on in any way or form.
Check this website out, I think it pretty much answers everything; I've kept it in store just in case I needed it
http://lifehacker.com/5853519/how-do-i-fix-my-bricked-android-phone

I'm thinking you have a busted SD card. But I'm concerned that you can't get into S/W update mode anymore.
I suggest removing your SD card, see if it boots.
If it doesn't, buy a new SD card, and see if you can NVflash the phone.
If that doesn't work, I hope your phone is still up for warranty.

Hi!
Yep, I can ONLY enter on CWM.
I don't even need to hold vol. down + power button, it enter automatically after showing the second LG logo.
I will try to search about that. Thanks for your help, mate!

I removed, but the same happens.
I'm using now my old SD card, but that doesn't look to change anything..

Don't use touch recovery! It has a lot of bugs in it, stick with the normal CWM, because something as important as the recovery should be working perfectly!

Hey, I finally went to S/W Upgrade Screen!!!
Now I think I'm able to return to the stock rom!!
I used the The O2x Nullifier 2.2 [ http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1555404 ] to wipe everything and it finally entered on S/W Upgrade!
Soon I will edit here with good news (I hope)
EDIT: OH YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!
FINALLY, I DID hahahah
I used The O2x Nullifier + Smartflash [ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uCHRwKGTZTk ] to flash a stock rom.
Thanks for ALL, friends!

If anyone else stumbles on this problem too, I also had this problem today after installing django rom x1.1.
I fixed it as follow:
1. turn of phone
2. remove external sd
3. boot into cwm
4. choose advanced
5. partition SD card (i chose 512, 128mb, perhaps someone has a better suggestion)
6. factory reset
After that i could install CM & MIUI roms.

[Q] Phone cease charging the installer + does not work RAMDUMP Recovery

Hello,
I have with this phone really big problem. Namely, I had preloaded on it CyanogenMod in version 10.1. Unfortunately, the phone broke (guts inside) and did not react to anything, nothing will even launch the DownloadMode, so I said I'd send him to the site Samsung'a, I know that it automatically breaks the warranty, but I found it difficult, can make a ball . I was right, even though I got papers to break the warranty, however, they fixed it in 50% because now it turns on Download mode, and before anything, no reaction, no vibration, and charging the phone until jumping out logos "Samsung Galaxy Mini 2 GT-S6500D. " Unfortunately, this is over.
I tried to upload the ROM to the phone on the version of the GT-S6500D (because the bought) and here surprise, jumped an error that the model number is not right, I checked and the very surprising fact is that everywhere in the papers, and under the battery, I have written a model "GT-S6500D", while the entrance to the Download Mode in the "PRODUCT" I have written "GT-S6500" (without the letters D). Well, but as good as he wanted it done, I uploaded ROM for GT-S6500 and the kind of work, because there hangs on the log Samsung just goes on. But freezes a moment later, some error recovery , where it opens the installer Android'a and suddenly error:
Failed to mount / cache (no such file or directory)
Can not mount / cache / recovery / command
Failed to mount / system (no such file or directory)
No strange, yet this is not met, but good, I wanted to do so as they write, "go to recovery and make wipy", ok, I'm trying, VOL + HOME + POWER i .. Enables the message "RAMDUMP ARM9." Hmm .. I think wgram ClockWorkMod'a can help. I have uploaded ... I run ... RAMDUMP ... I'm trying to package a "live recovery" (or something like that - is to install the recovery on the phone and immediately turn it on), installed ... I'm waiting ... been activated .. . phew ... I'm trying to upload CyanogenMod 'on the SD card error:
Failed to mount / sdcard
... It is difficult, upload again the standard ROM Recovery on it still does not start, instead RAMDUMP, the installer stops ... And now I'm here, that's the end of my story.
I was looking for, I found a lot, but not enough. Happened same RAMDUMP, recommending Superuser.apk (I can not upload does not start the system), occurred Failed Load recommend Wipy ( Recovery will not start) ... And when we tried all these tips ... Nothing worked ... Time the following questions:
1.At the beginning, I would like to know (out of curiosity) how is it possible that before the service had S6500D and now I have S6500.
2.How to fix that instead RAMDUMP'a will load the Recovery .
3.What is the use of RAMDUMP'a because Odin in this mode is not phone me:?
4.How to fix this phone to work again, or at least a "sufficient walked"?
5.What could be causing this strange behavior?
My guess is that the answer will not be too simple, but I would be very grateful if somebody advised something, because I after two days of ideas is over :/
Thank you in advance, sorry for my bad English and best regards!

Now I am trying to solve your problems.
Reserved for solutions.

I am glad that you can now acces recovery. But now you need to try to reflash it, and see what happens, I mean, if you can mount something.

My friend have this kind of issue but he just flash it
