Won't boot past boot screen

Hi everyone! I'm new here, please don't shout at me!
Basically, I've been rooting and installing recoveries images all night. But I've run into a problem. I was going to flash to the Super-Hybrid HD-Desire ROM by MicroMod777 (link to thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=784260) but it won't install, and now won't boot past the Nexus colour logo with the unlock bootloader padlock symbol at the botom. Here is what I did to get to this stage:
Followed these guides: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Nexus_One:_Full_Update_Guide
http://androidandme.com/2010/01/hacks/video-how-to-unlock-and-root-a-nexus-one/
I then downloaded said ROM and put it in my SD card like it said, and booted into ClockWork from ROM Manager. I tried to flash it, but it didn't work, coming up with this error:
E:Can't mount/dev/block/mmcblk0p2
(File exists)

E:Can't mount/dev/block/mmcblk0p2

E:Can't mount SDEXT:
E:Failure at line 24:
copy_dir PACKAGE:ext SDEXT:
Installation aborted.
I then did a factory wipe, and that didn't work, so I wiped the cache partitions. Nothing worked, always the same error. I also did a restore before I tried to flash for the first time, I've tried to restore that, but it doesn't work either; it also says that it can't mount SD-EXT, but I don't know if this is the error.
I can still get into the bootloader (trackball + power buton) and get to recovery through there, and I saw someone say in a thread here that if you can get into the bootloader it is basically impossible to be bricked. The phone will also not mount when I connect it to the PC, however the PC knows it's there, as I can see the phone, and on fastboot's menu it says 'fastboot usb'.
I hope some of you guys can help me! I really do love my phone, I need it ASAP! Ideally, I'd get onto the ROM I mentioned above, but restoring it to factory settings would also be perfect. Whatever is easier!
Thanks

The problem is that the ROM you flashed doesn't include the dbdata.rfs file. You will be able to extract one from the JM6 ROM from Samfirmware or from the JMG package I put together, here's a link to the post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10892253&postcount=305 You can flash dbdata.rfs directly to your Tab as it is now with Heimdall or otherwise you'll need to flash a ROM package like my JMG one that contains dbdata.rfs with Odin.

[Q] Can't install fixes

Hi guys,
this is my first post, and my english is not good. I'm sorry for that.
I have 2.3.3 Generic SE Rom in my X10i, root and zdzihu xRecovery-0.3 for GB. I can install custom ROMs without problems but xRecovery show me the message "E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 (or /dev/block/mmcblk0)
(device or resourse busy)
E:Can't mount SDCARD:z_bravia_engine.zip
Installation aborted."
when i try to install xloud, bravia engine or 55fps fix.
Can you help me?
Cheers!

A200 cwm can't mount /cache

Need the help of the greater minds here at xda on this.
A200 - unlocked bootloader - cwm (various flavors)
If booting CWM via vol-down / power, then everything is usually fine, sometimes I'll get the error described below, but rebooting again will clear it. and as long as this is the only way i boot into CWM, it's fine. dmesg shows a line showing that /cache mounts successfully.
If i do a "reboot recovery" from adb or terminal emulator (or even from Advanced->Reboot Recovery" from within cwm), then I get the /cache errors below. Happens everytime. But I can connect to it via adb while in cwm and do "mount /cache" and it mounts fine. Can't find any reference to cache being mounted in the dmesg log. It like it just not being mounted before recovery tries to access it.
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
The same recovery images works perfect on the A500 with the patched ics bootloader. I've tested with 3 versions of cwm. 1) cwm by hbwelch 2) thor1.7 repacked with the kernel from a200 ics stock recovery 3) modified a200 ics stock recovery with the /sbin/recovery file from thor1.7 image.
Any ideas why /cache doesn't mount when booting recovery w/o using the hardware keys?
Thanks

Figured it out. Recovery was starting before the block devices were created. Added a small delay and its working perfect.

He added the delay to his program, there's nothing you need to do.

I added the delay in the unit.rc script in the thor 1.7 recovery thread I repacked for the a200. That's the one that is included in my app. if you use that one, you will not get the cache errors.

I m facing the same problem. Sir please Help...

I had the same problem, I was trying to flash the cyanogen mod 12.1 on my studio 5 c hd. The solution, as answered by the creator from said rom, was to install the wiko base. I'm still configuring the wiko base, if it work i'll report here. But, it's worth trying.
Sorry for my english, it's not my first language.

Download the stock ROM of your phone and flash it via SP flash tool.
And as for recovery only CWM recovery works for the JB version and CTR for KK.

Most of the custom ROMs are based on Wiko rainbow base which supports all recoveries. If you want to flash Custom roms you should flash wiko rainbow v13 stock ROM via SP flash tool.
