Soft-bricked my phone? FIXED - LG Optimus 2x

EDIT4: Well I had to NVFlash my phone and flash the LG stock rom, and it worked, but I lost all my data, o well I'm so happy now
It all begins when I first flashed CM7.1 stable for the first time, I had initial problems with the browser not downloading files to my internal sdcard, but I think I fixed that by editing vold.fstab and build.prop files following some guide I found on the internet. Everything was good but I was unable to flash vorkkernel because when I did, It would not boot. To fix that I recovered a back up, I think:cyclops:? months went by and I was happy with my CM7.1, but I still wanted vorkkernel for the voodoo sound. I end up just flashing cm-7-20120902-NIGHTLY and was able to flash vorkkernel sucessfully. I again ran into the browser problem + it also duplicated corrupt copies of all my music files into the sdcard again and again, and tried my best to once again figure out how to properly edit vold.fstab and build.prop, with many unsuccessful attempts, I end up making my internal SDCard unreadable, so I tried to revert the files back to their original by looking in the rom zip and using those files. It did work somewhat, I was able to read my exeternal sd card, but the internal couldn't mount, I was so fed up. I was gonna reflash cm-7-20120902-NIGHTLY so I rebooted into recovery and then I decided not too so I tried to reboot, but I got stuck in a boot loop (phone always booted into CMW recovery mode) with an error
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
I'm unable to get into internal sdcard where my backup is located, however I am able to access external sdcard. I am also unable to wipe cache, I tried to flash cm-7-20120902-NIGHTLY (wipe data/factory reset, wipe divik cache, install zip) again but it doesn't do anything. I have also formatted /sytem with success but unable to format /data and /cache of course.
I'm not really concerned too much about the data on phone, I can get all of it back except some pictures and video I don't value too much. So wiping everything is an option, but would waste a bunch of my time if I didn't have to, but I'm not sure how to do it because I can't find a stock rom for fido (I am aware of the stock roms posted here on this site, but mine is dead). I actually am no longer with fido and don't use this phone as a cell phone anymore, so do I really need the offical stock fido rom or can I download the european one? I
Sorry I have googled this for about 8 hours before posting here and I can't find any clear cut solutions, all I find is similar problems and outdated links.
EDIT1: Cannot boot into S/W mode screen just goes black and shuts off
EDIT2: Found a old backup in my computer that I had transferred to my SDCARD which doesn't work because it says MD5 mismatch!
EDIT3: Was able to restore backup but now it says error formatting /data (I also can't mount /data /cache /emmc, but can only mount /system
and /sdcard)
Thanks

UPDATE
I Can't boot into S/W mode, I take out battery, hold vol down button, then plug phone. What happens is the white logo boots, then goes black and shuts off. I'm running out of options...

[Q] Flash official ROM leads back to Recovery Menu!!

Hello!
I'm from Greece and I've come up with the following situation with my I9000 running stock 2.2 XWJPH!!
I've had lagfix installed and three days ago I wanted to take a full backup with my Kies!! So I had to unlagfix! Worked fine and went through Kies etc
After all this I came back to my OCLF but every option to install again OneCLickLagFix was Unavailable and was saying something about the playlogo and playlogos1 files!
Anyways somehow I managed to work it out by renaming these two files!!(After this I've found out that I should have checked Restore boot animation " first!!)
After the install of Lagfix it rebooted with a blank black screen doing nothing!!!!Today I had in my hands a USB jig so I got into Download mode and using Odin flashed two or three froyo ROMs (stock for the time, either with one PDA file or with the three files together with the .pit file) and one tweaked 2.2.1 but the best result was getting the following into the Samsung recovery menu:
update media please wait
E:Can't mount /dev/block/stl10
(Invalid argument)
E:copy_dbdata_media:Can't mount DBDATA:
your storage not prepared yet, please use UI menu for format and reboot actions.
copy default media content failed.
I tried wipe data/factory reset και wipe cache partition but situation is the same....only the format internal sd-card will save me?
But this way I'm going to lose my backup of titanium, right; Is there some way to get my Titanium backup folder from the internal_sd? Or maybe it's not in the internal_sd so everything is ok?
Adb also works somehow (I think), when I leave the phone to boot into normal mode without getting into the recovery menu (this happens just after flash only for once) and leave it till it gets to the coloured "S"!!
How can I give it a complete flash so as to recreate those folders that it is asking for?
Every way of help appreciated!
Thanks!
Even Format of internal sd didn't change anything!!Just tried it!!

[Q] Alfs kernel + GingerDX cant install update-rom-chargemon+vold-AlfsKernel.zip

Hi. I've been pulling my hair out for over 4 hours now.
I boot into clockworkmod, choose install from zip, I can see the .zip but everytime I choose it the phone refuses to install it and gives me an error about cannot mount /sd/ or something similiar. From there the SD card cannot be found until i restart the phone.
Ive cleared all caches, done a factory reset..
The rom and phone works like it should except that I of course cant mount my phone with the sdcard while booted into GingerDX.
I've tried using two different SD cards and one of them is brand new (i just opened it because of this error). I've formatted both cards via a usbadapter on my computer and the only thing on them is the update file.
Every zip i try to update gives me the error that the card cannot be mounted even though the phone finds the different zipfiles on my card. And every time after i get the error the SD card cannot be found until I restart my phone.
Please help me, Ive spent hours searching on this problem but the only one who had this problem and got it fixed got it because he had his phone plugged in via usb while he was trying to update.
This is the error message I get.
-- Installing /sdcard/update-rom-chargemon+vold-alfskernel .zip
Finding update package...
E:Can't mount /sdcard/update-rom-chargemon+vold-alfskernel .zip

Just tried reflashing the Alfs kernel as well. Didn't work.

I have nothing to backup but as I said I've tried 2 different cards and formatted them both atleast 5 times each.
WOW! I think I solved it. I flashed the nAa kernel which just made my phone not start at all, the screen just turns on but nothing happened. Then I reinstalled v6 of Alfs kernel. But this time I booted into CWM by tapping back instead of tapping the screen (I was actually trying to get into xrecovery). There my first sdcard didnt mount at all so I put in the second one, chose the .zip, got a "are you sure bla bla" screen, pressed yes and it FINALLY flashed.
This is a really weird error..

you could not have 2 recovery at once by costum kernel. you must use the recovery in the kernel.
I haven't done anything but whipe my phone, install alfs custom kernel and GingerDX. I haven't installed anything else. Wierd error that starting CMW by pressing back instead of touching the screen lets you actually flash the update.
Hi guys, i was trying to find a solution and i think i made it. It's not that everything is connected but it did work for me.
What i did:
1. settings/application settings/ unknown sources - ON
2. settings/application settings/Development
- usb debugging - ON
- USB debugging notify -ON
- Allow mock locations - ON
3. Reboot in CWM recovery
- go to mount and storage (important!!)
- mount /sdcard
- go back, install zip from Sdcard
- choose zip from sdcard, find it and install it!!
That's it!

This happened to me a few times. On your SD card make sure you have "clockworkmod" folder all lowercase. Inside that folder there should be a "backup" folder. You need this folder for CWM to work
I've encountered the same problem as OP. sdcard wont mount. I installed the CWM v3.2.0.0-r3 via this script so I tap the screen to enter CWM but the back key opens xRecovery so solution in #5 doesn't apply.
Tried a different card, reply #9, cleared cache and data. Nothing seems to help so far.
Solved by flashing SE2.1 kernel back, installing recovery tools from x8toolbox this time and it let me go ahead with the rest.

CWM Touch 6.0.3.0 error

Hello,
I recently was forced to due an AE swap of my device due to the mic failing on the hardware side. As I was going through the process of unlocking and rooting the new device the recovery flash seemed to error out and not work. After a couple flashes it finally stuck and everything eventually appears to be working after many headaches, however CWM is still acting up. Every time I am in recovery it says.
E: cant mount /cache/recovery/command
E: cant mount /cache/recovery/log
E: cant mount /cache/recovery/last_log
etc...
I have tried everything even to RUU back to full stock and re-do the process but I still have the error. Also when I go to install from SD Card it only sees some random folders that are actually on my internal storage. So even though I placed the SuperSU zip on my SD with my computer I cannot flash it as the recovery doesnt see it. Does anyone have any insight?
Have you tried fastboot erase cache (while in fastboot)
Just throwing it out there not sure if it will do any good.

clockworkmod wont format data keeps rebooting

so i have been playing around with my phone, it was working fine but i had issues with android revolution hd, so i forget what i did and i am currently on clockwork mod touch v6.0.3.1 (i tried 6.0.3.6). it usually says:
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
before this happened i tried to flash a couple roms and they all failed and i went into either a recovery loop, in which it kept booting into recovery or a htc logo boot loop. I have flash twrp recovery also to try if that would help and it didn't. i have pushed the roms using adb and used fastboot to clear cache and flash the recoveries. i am pretty much stuck, i don't know what to do. I can't find a bell version of the RUU to install, i found a nandroid backup but it never seems to finish downloading properly from htc1guru.com so what do i do know?
Thanks for any help

the above is normal, it's because of the "fastboot erase cache" -> hence no cache to mount
but I didnt get the second part; you're not able to enter recovery or are you not able to flash ROM?
i erased cache and it still gives me the same issue. I also tried fastboot boot twrp.img, but that popped up the loading screen of twrp and then rebooted. also tried the same command with clockworkmod and it booted into recovery but it still can't mount the cache. Also i flashed twrp but it wont boot, also it has s-on, 1.44, tampered and unlocked

It's not an error, when you wipe the cache it won't be mounted in recovery.
Recovery will work fine without a mounted cache.

i erased the cache booted right into clockworkmod and used adb to sideload a rom, right as it mounts the data and gets ready to install the phone restarts. could my memory be corrupted or messed up?

1- why don't you try to push the ROM "adb push Rom.zip /sdcard/"
2- make sure your download is not corrupted by checking MD5
3- if you don't mind wiping your internal storage, go ahead and format it in recovery (format /sdcard or format /data/media)

i tried that and it gave me error:closed. i did it in recovery in adb sideload in clockworkmod.
I dont care about wiping, since i have everything backed up, i have formatted the sd card and the data twice, i did it before installing android revolution hd and then after when i was trying to install my other rom but after i formatted it again, it stopped working. I try to mount the sd card in clockworkmod and all it does is reboot the phone, that also happens when i hit format sd card. It can't mount it for some reason. then it just goes into a htc boot logo loop. thanks for the help guys...more please more

I just had the same issue as you and I tried almost everything! I have just figured out how to solve the problem.
First I installed an earlier version of CWM, in my case recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.3.4-m7.img
Then I went to install the ROM that was working BEFORE I installed the ROm which totally crashed my cache partition, in my case Android Revolution HD
When I got into AROMA, I unchecked EVERYTHING the only thing I checked was the XPOSED Framework, which I remembered I installed last time
The installation finished and the phone rebooted twice before getting into the boot and finally into the ROM
I don't know what our issue is caused by and after reading two hours on the internet I also figured out that people is solving this problem in different ways and no solution works 100% which makes this issue very weird :/
Hope it helps! Good luck!
