Im having this same issue and at my wits end. I was running Slimbean 4.3 for a couple of weeks with no issues. Whatever happened, happened while the device was running, and not in recovery mode because I was at work at the time, and my daughters told me the nook just turned off. They dont do or know anything about recovery. I can get to recovery, but when I attempt to boot, I cannot get past the Cyanoboot screen. When I do get to recovery, this is what I see:
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
Needless to say, none of my nandroid saves will load. Leapinlar, I made an SD boot of your stock 2.1.0 image (using the older winmanager method because im more familiar with it), and it begin to flash, then get stuck halfway and shutdown. Then I reboot and Im stuck at the same CWM bootscreen, which continues to loop. I also tried the flashing the 2.1.1 with the same results. I followed your instructions in your CWM thread to the letter. What can I do?
ps-is there a way i can check for the emmc bug while Im stuck in recovery?
I have the same problem after playing with the ROMs one to many anayway I just turn it off and plugged it to a Windows machine using the USB cable and the Nook started by itself and suddenly it went throughout the stock boot and it did a reset to brand new device.

just tried it, didnt work. when i plugged the nook into my laptop, the laptop spent a few minutes trying to install the driver, then finally gave me the message that "the driver could not be installed." still stuck on cyanoboot bootloop. curious, which recovery was on your nook, was it stock. or cyanoboot?

Hello,
I want the new upgrade so i was trying yo go back to stock but i must be doing something wrong.
first i tried method one
...Flash_back_to_clean_stock_ROM[/url]
and at 7 clockworkmod opens up and it never goes into the " re-flash its /system partition"
so then i tried connecting to my computer and using adb but it always just says there is no device found.
anyone have any idea on what I am missing?
my nook is 1.0.1
Have you tried the manual 8 interrupted boots?
yes and on the 7th interrupt clockworkmod started.
seems irreverent now that i am stuck on the n spalsh screen.
thank you for your reply
but i think i buggered things up
Hey guys!
Earlier today I rooted my another Android device so I wanted to try it with my Samsung Galaxy Ace S5830. I rooted it successfully, then I wanted to install a custom ROM...well, I wanted to upgrade it to Android 4.3 since I found a tutorial for it.
I downloaded two zip files, put them on the card, booted the phone into recovery mode and during installation of files, there was an error (Status 0), something like that. When I wanted to boot my phone, it could not boot up. It would just have that splash screen saying Samsung Ace S5830 and it would stay there forever.
I got back to the recovery mode and there is error saying "E:failed to mount /system (Invalid argument).
I figured out I messed it up, so I tried to flash it with Odin. However, after reading millions of guides, I failed to do it. I put my phone into download mode and it just says "Downloading..." on a black screen, there is no picture or anything like that, and I saw in the guides there should be one, so am I in the wrong mode?
Anyway, I "managed" to flash my phone. The process took ~10 seconds then rebooted my phone and I was waiting on a countdown (4 minutes or so), then it said my phone is done and I saw a blue button saying "PASS". However, my phone was showing only a backlight during that process, there wasn't anything like a download bar.
I restarted my phone, wiped cache and did a factory reset, but it's still unable to boot.
What should I do?
Thanks a lot!

Hello,
SO it started when i used cyanogenmod installer app and windows app combined to easily install CNM. After half a year of using my phone suddenly stopped charging, when i wanted it to charge i needed to shut it down and press volume down combined with power button shortly, not to power it on. So i locked my device, following htc1guru return to stock guide guide, and then wiped all data, delvik, cache. Then i tried to use Windows RUU installer which failed after booting to grey htc sign. then it failed (usb connection error) i tried again, unknown error. so i unlocked my device and tried to boot my CNM again but i was stuck on loading screen (arrow circling around CNM's head).
so i flashed TWRP recovery and tried to flash ViperOne ROM but i couldnt open sdcard in my recovery. It says E:failed to mount sdcard (sdcard is internal storage called sdcard) but i couldnt, then i tried to flash it using sideload, failed aswell. Now iam kind of stuck in my hboot v 1.54/ TWRP. and cannot flash ANY ROM. So i heard about S-OFF tried to do it manually - didnt work, use custom unlockers, S-OFFERS -didnt work.
I'am VERY grateful for ANY advice.
I guess i forgot something if u need more info i will try to reply as fast as possible.
Thank you!

wooow, long sentence
two things:
1) check the Frequently Asked Question sticky page 3
about those "failed to mount" errors
2) "... After half a year of using my phone suddenly stopped charging, ....." -> this could be a hardware problem if it happened all by itself

no problem, my pleasure .... that thread (not mine, but nonetheless) is a sticky, so it's one of the first you should read
anyway, glad it fixed it, and if you dont mind marking this thread as [SOLVED], it would be nice
okay, i had a slim rom running on my fire (5.1.1) and tried to go to cm12 using flashfire. i made sure that wipe was at the top of the list. it got stuck on installing the new rom, so after 30 minutes i restarted tablet. i got stuck in the cm logo bootloop. i do still have access to the amazon stock recovery. tried to do a data wipe/factory reset. still stuck at logo bootloop. i tried to sideload the amazon stock bin file, but it stops after 5 seconds and says "failed to read command: invalid argument" and goes back to the recovery main menu. if you try to do another sideload, it instantly says "timed out waiting for package. installation aborted" before you even press anything. have to restart device to try sideloading again.
at one point i had it almost install cm12 from a zip file through sideload, but at the very end it gave me a signature verification fail. since i can't boot the phone, i can't turn on usb debugging. sometimes it'll show up in the device manager as mtp but never shows up as fire or android device or any of that. it will show up on adb devices command when its in fastboot, but can't do anything with it from there. i've tried all the different ways in the forums here and rootjunky, but nothing seems to work at all. any ideas if i'm doing something wrong or is this just bricked, regardless of stock recovery?
tried a few commands to see if i could fastboot one of the roms or stock images, but they all tell me its missing the android-info.txt

i started trying to get it going, but got the same results. eventually the battery died and it doesn't want to charge anymore, so hopefully i'm still under warranty. thanks for all the help though, been a reader here for a really long time. just sucks to get a hard brick for the first time. used a droid x for four years straight with a locked bootloader and never came across a problem like this

I fear I'm in the same boat. Which version of flash fire were you using?
Any further progress?

So my phone was in charger last night and when I woke up, the phone was stuck in HTC logo splash screen. I was curios to see what happened so I tried to force restart but it didn't help. The next thing I did was to enter the recovery to see if there was any problem there. What I noticed was that my sdcard was showing no data on it, so I connected it to PC and mount the sdcard, the sdcard size was suggesting that there should be data on it but there was nothing inside when I tried to open the folder. This was the first time this issue was happening to me.
So the next best thing that I had in mind was to factory reset the phone in TWRP and reinstall the ROM (Xenon HD) and then GApps. Well everything was fine and the ROM booted but since in the latest update of the ROM, root was not present, I went to recovery and installed Magisk 14.0 and then restarted it. After the restart, I notice that the phone boot loops in the ROM splash screen. So I gave it another try to reset my phone but this time only formatting the system like usual way of installing ROM. This is where the issue happened.
Every time I tried to wipe or install anything, at the first and and the end of the log, it states that "Failed to mount '/devlog' (invalid argument)". I thought it was normal and I proceeded with reinstalling the ROM but it won't boot and gets stuck in boot loop. I tried to search for this specific error but in every site, failing of mounting data or system or cache or all of them together with devlog was mentioned but not devlog by itself. I tried many ways suggested in the forums like:
Installing newer version of TWRP
Formatting the partitions to ext2 then reformat to ext4
but non helped.
I really appreciate if anyone could help me figure out how to solve this issue I'm facing. My phone is HTC M7 GSM, S-OFF and the latest GPE firmware is installed.
Thank you
I reflashed my firmware since, when I did getvar, it was showing blank version-main. This solved the error in the TWRP ( /devlog) BUT every time I try to install any ROM, after installation, it shows the ROM splash screen but then it boots loops forever. I tried many ROMS from Lolipop to Noughat all having the same problem. The other thing I forgot to mention after this issue happened there is now a black stagger line under the HTC logo whenever the phone boots. This was not there before and it only happens in that stage of booting.
I appreciate any help
