Can't mount /cache - Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have a galaxy ace that has been soft bricked.
I rooted and flashed CWM Recovery and all was well,
After trying to flash CM 7 stable my device now can't mount /cache at all. When I try to mount /cache or /data in mounts and storage, it doesn't work.
Does anyone know what is going on, and what I can do to repair it?
I can get into recovery, and Download mode, but it doesnt boot.
Thanks

Just flash the stock rom back from the Download Mode using odin. That should unbrick your phone. Then you can root your device, install CWM 5 and finally install any custom rom. Do post the result. Hope I Helped

I flashed the stock firmware over odin, and it failed. It said "Complete(write) operation Failed."
Any other ideas?

The most stable odin for Galaxy Ace S5830 is v4.38. Here is the link on how to install stock rom using odin along with all firmwares and drivers (check the "Preparations" section),
Flash stock rom on Samsung Galaxy Ace S5830 using odin
If your PC cannot recognize the phone, its usually the drivers. Once installed, go to recovery mode and do a wipe data/ factory reset & wipe cache (otherwise bootloop might occur). Then restart. Now you have successfully flashed the stock rom. Here is the link for rooting and installing CWM 5 on Samsung Galaxy Ace,

[Q] Galaxy Ace stuck in reboot loop

My Galaxy Ace is stuck in a reboot loop after trying to flash 2.3.6 onto it, when it had 2.3.5 on it previously.
I've used ODIN and no matter what firmware I try to flash onto it, it just goes into a reboot loop.
Any idea how to fix it?

press down home button and then power on phone ...--> you will enter into recovery mode .
select wipe with help of volume keys and there you go out of bootloop
My Galaxy Ace is also in some sorta reboot loop.
Everything was working fine with it (phone is rooted and CWM installed) until I did a phone reset because I was giving the phone to my gf. After doing this the phone reboots, the blue samsung logo plays (without sound) and then repeats ad-infinitum. I can get into recovery mode and download mode ok and I've tried wipe and even restored a CWM backup (it says it was successful) but the phone just keeps rebooting. I can see the phone in odin but I've never tried to flash anything onto it and quite frankly I'm unsure whether it would just make things worse (if it needs to go back to Samsung for repair). Any help would be appreciated...
If you have cwm ..why dont you download some custom rom like cm7and flash it ..that would bring your phone back to life ...then you can downgrade to stock rom if you want ...and btw in cwm try cache partition , clear data /factory reset and clear dalvik cache ..see if it boots after you do this ..

when i always flash by odin or by cwm i always do wipe , wipe cache and wipe dalvik, this helps me everytime
I managed to flash a firmware from samfirmware and it fixed the reboot.
Now my issue is when I connect to Kies, it says there's an updated firmware for the phone but it fails every attempt to install it. I went back to samfirmware and found this firmware: S5830ZSKPD ## but when I download and extract it there's only 1 x MD5 file and 1 x DLL file?! The other firmware had the 4 or 5 files needed to include in Odin... any ideas guys?
I think its a "one package file " ..I forgot the correct name but there is some option like that in odin ..dont worry it contains all the required files ..and if you are scared to do it then go to you tube ..there are many tutorials showing it then...

Yep, that's exactly what it was, thanks again.
Unfortunately with this firmware, Kies doesn't recognise it and provides no info.
I flashed back to the older firmware... I'll just have to keep experimenting I guess.

Well I could flash it with Odin if I had the firmware but I don't.
It appears it's not available on SamFirmware.com
Do you know where I can download the following firmware?
PDA:KPD / PHONE:KPD / CSC:KPC (THL)
Thanks

Thanks anyway but I managed to find the firmware online and flashed it using Odin.
Now Kies says I'm using the latest which is a good start : )
Now I just need to find a way to root my SGS2 GT-I9100T
U can try a custom ROM from the Developer's forums here.
I also once stucked in the Reboot Loop..............
But then I installed a custom or if you want features from a official Rom, you can install Stock Based custom ROm from the Developer forums of Galaxy Ace. Really good Rom have been made by the developers

It can be downloaded from: http://translate.googleusercontent....flgljh&usg=ALkJrhiMpHV83dugh4RGwhKpyjIrYIgn2Q
It is in "one part file" format and can be flashed using Odin.
whatever may be the problem ......just rem to keep a backup of ur previously used rom and just flash it with cwm...

[Q] How to unbrick Note

Hi,
I just flashed my Note with KingDroid ICS NoteMania Edition v1.4 from the ICS rom leaked from the Taiwan version.
It took so long stuck at the Samsung Galaxy Note N7000 and I was thinking that it might need to reboot manually so that I removed the battery...(I was stupid)
After that, I couldn't go to recovery but still could go to download mode. However, when I connected it to my computer, there was no response at all, which means I can't use odin PC either.
I tried some many ways and finally I got it connected with my PC. I used odin PC to flash the rom I donwloaded at this website (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997) but it was still the same, stuck at "Samsung Galaxy Note N7000". Afterwards, I try the ICS Rom from Taiwan and it stuck at data.img when I flashed it via odin PC.
After doing that, I can go to recovery mode but I couldn't flash any rom or kernel on it.
I was just wondering if there is any other method that I could save my phone back or I need to send it to be fixed or repair?
Please give me some ideas and any helps will be truly appreciated!!
Try the first method again and if it sticks on Samsung logo again go Ito recovery and full wipe. This might solve the problem bro...
Don't worry I don't think your note is bricked!

Most of the bricks won't allow anything, so the fact you can get in recovery and download is good. Make sure you have drivers installed on computer and maybe try PC Odin again with download mode.

Thanks for replying. I just forgot to mention that "full wipe" was not working...it would freeze (the bar was not moving, which used to while it was normal) and went back to "Samsung Galaxy Note N7000" again.
I would like to try download mode again but is there any rom recommended or suggestion that I can save the "misbehaving" booting system back to normal?
Thanks again for any help. I truly appreciate your help.

Hi!
I had flashed my Note with leaked version! it was from i9220 with LP1 kernel! there was not any case of bricks from that time so I didn't know that I mustn't do wipe or anything in CWM! so I wiped my Note and tried to flash back Gingerbread and my Note stopped responding! I could enter only in cmw and used redpill recovery to revive it!
So my advice would be If you could get connected with ODIN! flash abyss recovery 3.9 or FM kernel 2.0! Perform full wipe and try to flash any ROM.
then wait and pray! I tried at least 10 times before it worked for me!
Thanks for replying. Here is my silly question, how to flash abyss recovery 3.9 or FM kernel 2.0 via odin PC? I haven't done that before. (I used to use recovery mode to flash kernel.)

I got the answer, using PDA. Thanks.

go to download mode on your galaxy note (power+vol down+home), choose volume up; open ODIN; connect you phone via USB cable; select PDA and choose FM Note Kernel 2.0 and flash it
FM-Note kernel .tar version:
Code:
http://downloadandroidrom.com/file/GalaxyNote/kernels/FM/FM-Note-Kernel_V2.0.tar
if you flashed this successfully, try to flash abyss 3.9 kernel using CWM.
After that flash ROM through this red pill recovery (I flashed MidNote ICS-first version, because I didn't know that it had bad kernel back then, but you should flash any GB ROM)
Good Luck!
OK, now I got some progress. (thanks again for any help)
I flashed in abyss 3.9 kernel and I can do the full wipe now.
However, while I tried to flash roms, such as ROCKET-v22-LA6 or other roms I downloaded from here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997), the installation took me about 30 minute to flash them in. It used to take like 5 minutes or so.
In addition, it showed some information like this,
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
And it still sticks with the log "Samsung Galaxy Note N7000".
Is there anything wrong that I did or what else I can do?

I faced a similar problem 2 days back... I could go to download mode n recovery mode..
What I fide was flashed LPF stock Rom with bootloader n pit files attached via oc odin... Its up n running again... No issues.
U can get the stock Rom from Dr ketan thread.
Hope it isn't a brick..
Thanks for replying. Now I am working on usb connection with my PC since it is not responsive to my PC after I flashed the new kernal.

Is my Galaxy Note Bricked?!
Hi,
I have a Galaxy Note GT-N7000
ICS 4.0.4 (updated from Gingerbread)
Baseband Version: N7000XXLP1
Kernel Version: 3.0.15-I9220ZCLP1-CL131270
From my stock GB Rom, I've installed Criskelo ROM V1 before.
Then I unroot my phone to stock ICS 4.0.4.
Root ICS on it.
This is where tthe problem begins, my bluetooth can't work, S planner can't sync with my Gmail.
In Clock Work Mode recovery, I did a BIG ERROR.
Wipe data/factory reset & Wipe cache partition.
My Note went back to custom format.
After that I installed latest Abyss Note Kernel 42 CW.
Flashed it in Clock Work Mode.
My Note got stucked with black screen logo " Samsung GALAXY Note GT-N7000" when I reboot it.
When I pressed Vol Up + Home + Power Button.
It went into Clock Work Mode but it keeps blinking the page, I can't choose any options.
When I pressed Vol Down + Home + Power Button.
I can still go into download mode.
Connect Note via usb cable, can't detect my Note.
Does this means I've bricked my Note?
Can anyone pls advise me what to do?

Oh man you should NOT have done a wipe on a stock ICS. I hope you have not triggerred the eMMC bug of Samsung. More details can be found here -

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1698977
Based on what i've read and my experience, you can try the following steps (at your own risk):
1. Download a SAFE kernal from XDA. Try HydraCore if you dont know which one to use : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1749863
2. Download 0din for PC 1.85
3. See if 0din is able to recognize your device (those blocks in 0din turn yellow). If yes, Follow the normal steps for flashing using 0din (use the safe kernel you downloaded)
(If you are not sure of steps to use 0din, have a look at the screenshot / steps at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997 )
4. Now that you have a safe kernel you can install the rom of you choice by using CWM. Try - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1716088
Let me know if the above works...there are some other procedures involving pit files as well which can be tried if the above doesnt work but i'm not too sure about that.
Your last resort will be to take the phone to Samsung service. They might have to replace the motherboard if the eMMC is corrupt. (If its under warranty dont tell them about your flashing experiments..just tell them you were doing a factory reset )

Have you flashed successfully before using Odin? Try disabling firewall / antivirus and try.

After doing that does this mean my phone is still rooted or not?

It shouldn't matter if you use 32 of 64-bit windows, but when I flashed my Samsung Galaxy from x64 platform it became messed up. Ran it from my netbook with windows7 starter 32 bit, worked like a charm. Maybe it's the computer your flashing from and you should try another.
if u installed a new rom, then wipe data and dalvik... I bootlooped my phone when I didn't do that... try it...
If u have just flashed new rom u should wipe data/cache and reflash if it doesn't work flash via Odin,and should be ok

Soft bricked i9305, stuck on samsung logo, please help

I belive I soft bricked my i9305 when I tried to install Chainfire3D. I get stuck on the samsung logo but I can still access recovery. I did a CWM backup in Rom manager before it soft bricked but I cant access the backup from the default Recovery and I never flashed into CWM Recovery. So I wonder if I can flash CWM recovery from default recovery so I can reach my backup. Factory reset did not help, still stuck on Samsung logo. I tried flashing 2 roms but I get a error message E:Failed to verify whoe-file signature, E: signature verification failed. I can also add that I did not use Odin to root my device, I used Framaroot. I have no idea what my region number is and such so I'm not sure I can flash the stock rom ether.
Any kind of help is appreciated.

You can not flash a custom rom or a custom recovery from the default recovery, use odin to flash clockworkmod recovery.

A good idea would be for you to read the basic faqs and guides first .
ODIN and Root have nothing at all to do with entering download mode .
No download mode means you require a service centre repair .

I can not enter adb shell ether because I never had the chance to enable usb debugging. Is service center really the only way? I can still install files from default recovery.
yes. sadly service center is the only option you have now

However I still dont know due to the fact that none of my roms I try to install with CWM Recovery works (error 7) I got a GT-I9305N so I'm still stuck, thinking about flashing the stock rom I downloaded from sammobile through odin although I'm not sure how.
Thanks so far guys.

Give me the link to the rom you want flash. The backup you have made not work?
I finaly got everything to work!
I flashed stock rom that I downloaded from sammobile through odin. I want to thank you guys so much for helping me out, it wasn't a easy road. Chainfire 3D ruined everything for me but I should have been more careful with installing that. Hopefully I can find something better to make the textures not all white in HD games but thats a different story.
Thanks again everyone!
