after flashing a kernel i was stuck in a boot loop. i then went into recovery to nandroid restore but when recovery booted it said
"Build: RA-nexus-v1.7.0.1
E: Cant mount CACHE:recovery/command
E:Cant mount CACHE:recovery/log
E:Cant open CACHE:recovery/log"
any suggestions?

Well you can still get into recovery, so that's good. First what kinda nandroid did you do, regular or nan+ext, if you did a basic nandroid I don't think it works with the FROYO builds. You might have to flash your rom again, but before you do, partition your sdcard first so you can use nandroid+ext. Careful flashing kernals, not all are compatible with all builds, always read to see what build they tested it on. You should know how to partition with your recovery, set swap to 0, unless your rom supports it, ext 2 is good at 512, and the rest will be your fat32. Let me know what happens.
I've been on CM7.1RC for a while, recently apps kept crashing for no reason. I have a lot of apps tried disabling some things with autostarts but there were too many apps and too many triggers and all to hard.
So tried wipe cache and wipe dalvik cache, phone took a long time to reboot, was OK for a while but then same thing reoccurred.
So I decided to reinstall CM to the latest daily following wiki instructions, but I did something in the wrong order and got stuck in a bootloop before I had put the zips on the internal SDCard.
So I though, I'll go back to XXJPK using ODIN and restart from there. Again, bootloop. I have download mode and recovery 3e working, recovery 3e brings up error message:
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.
pease use UI menu for format and reboot actions.
copy default media content failed​
I tried to reformat the internal SDCARD using the recovery 3e options and re-ODIN XXJPK but no joy.
Suggestions?
I am getting the same bootloop described in this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1466838
but flashing with the stock XXJPK I originally used did not get it out of the bootloop. Any other pointers?
Hey guys.
So i have this razr i with TWRP 2.8.0.0 recovery installed on my phone and my bootloader is unlocked. I have installed several diferent roms on it over time, and this time i tried to install the unofficial Cyanogenmod 11 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/razr-i/development/rom-unofficial-cyanogenmod-11-t2966855) but things went totally wrong when i formated the phone on recovery.
Here's what i did:
1- booted into recovery
2- went to the "wipe" tab
3- taped on "advanced wipe" and selected eveything (Dalvik cache/System/Cache/Data/Internal storage/Micro SDcard), then started formatting
4- after about an hour and a half it was still checking for md5... so i rebooted
5- when i rebooted i realized that everything was gone, including the rom files on the sdcard, so i passed the files from my pc again and tried to install but nothing happend.
6- now for unkown reasons all i see is:
Code:
E: Unable to mount '/data'
E: unable to recreate /data/media folder.
Updating partition details...
E: unable to mount '/data'
E: unable to mount internal storage.
E: unable to mount /data/media during GUI startup
FUll SElinux support is present.
E: unable to mount /data/media/TWRP/.twrps when trying to read settings file
E: unable to mount '/data'
MTP Enabled
So... My PC has the motorola drivers installed and i've also tried on mac (i have a Macbook pro with widows and mac os), but none of the recognize my phone so i can't use adb or anything that could help with this.
Does anyone know what to do? I just want to install stock jellybean again and then try the cm11 rom.

Can you boot into recovery? maybe you can try adb sideload.

Yes i can, bootloader and recovery, but as i said my phone isn't recognized so adb sideload does not work.
I tried using mac because i read somewhere that you don't need drivers on there, but it didn't work either... unless i'm doing something wrong

I've experienced with similar situation getting no adb in TWRP. However, when I chose Advanced/Adb sideload, adb sideload did work for me.
PS: Maybe you can try install aother recovery.
Hey! Apparently, your phone has now all the partitions corrupt, because of that failed format. Have you tried installing a stock ROM through RSD Lite?
I once had a similar issue, solved it with a clean SBF flash.
Also, to install a new ROM, you should:
1.Boot in TWRP
2.Go to 'Settings'
3.Check 'Use rm -rf instead of formatting.'
Then, the wiping process wont take more than a couple of seconds, and should install ROM's without problems.
Hope you solve it, and sorry for my english if I made any mistakes.

Have u read the install instructions? The instructions stated that u needed to use the latest recoverys and u still use the 2.8.0.0 one.
The earlier versions have problems on some phones like the one u have now. Some do have the problem some don't. U can fix it by erasing the userdata through fastboot hopefully or by installing touchcwm (the earliest of recoverys for this device) and formatting it that way. Most of the time this fixes the problem.

i tried what you said but i still get this problem:
Code:
E; Unable to mount '/data'
E: unable to mount internal storage.
EDIT:
By the way, how do you do an SBF flash?
You have to download one from your region. You can make it to the fastboot menu? And it doesn't detect the phone?

I had my rooted Galaxy S running well on CyanogenMod 10.1, but wanted to unroot so as to use my bank's app. While flashing Android 2.3.6 with Odin 1.87, I got various error messages and the phone boot looped. I tried to follow the instructions here , but the stock ROM I9000XXJVU_I9000OXAJVU_OXA.zip doesn't seem to be available now. Installing Semaphore CWM went OK, but of course the stock ROM has overwritten that. The stock recovery says:
E: failed to mount /dbdata (Invalid argument)
Copying media files...
E:failed to mount /dbdata (File exists)
E:cope_dbdatamedia:Can't mount /dbdata
your storage not prepared yet. Please use UI menu for format and reboot actions.
What stock ROM should I use that will deal with this? Or is there another solution?

You should factory reset and wipe cache and dalvik cache partitions. If else fails, try flashing a different stock ROM.

Thanks guys. Meanwhile I managed to track down the XXJVU ROM and now have the phone up and running again on Cyanogenmod 10.2.1. But despite wiping cache and Dalvik cache, and factory resetting, it is still rooted! There is no Superuser app but #Superuser is still in the settings menu, and my bank's app reports that it won't work because the phone is rooted. Very odd. I suppose I'll have to try a different stock ROM, but why doesn't root disappear when flashing a stock ROM?
Hey there!
I got my tablet messed up so I was trying to "un-brick" it using the factory images and the temp recovery. All good, until I try to flash a zip. These errors won't go away:
E: unable to mount /factory
E: unable to mount /cache
This prevents me from doing basically anything. I cannot flash any firmware because of these. Of course, the repair partition fails also...
Any ideas?
I managed to format the /factory and /cache partitions so now I got rid of that error. Still, trying to flash a firmware on it and failing miserably from unknown reasons... Isn't there a firmware flash tool available for this device to write the firmware directly into the nand?
Later Edit: Nope, /factory still not mounting...
Even Later Edit: Still no mounting, I managed to dig deeper in the error and it seems that the main message is "can't format unknown volume /emmc". What shocked me is that after unplugging the tablet from PC (using the tethered recovery trying to fix the stuff), I booted in recovery (volume up and power), and to my surprise, I was met by the ol' American Megatrends UEFI - check the attachment... I guess I messed up the bootloader so bad that the Intel chipset took over?
So it seems that the tablet won't boot up in any way. Every boot procedure (power button, power + vol up, power + vol down) will start the UEFI. Go guys!
