I am stock at tmobile screen, it doesnt go any further
i went in recovery it returns as
E:Can't Mount /cache/recovery
all the way down
the "fastboot erase recovery" returns with "FAILED (remote: not allowed)" and the "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" returns the same thing. Any other suggestions???
I tried to restore pd15img and
it works little bit, and it asked me to upgrade, i pressed the volume up
1 BOOTLOADER - Fail-PU
partiton update fail!
update fail!
This has happened to quite a few people lately and I don't think they have been able to come back from it. Out of curiosity though, what caused this? Were you flashing something and this happened? Do you have the engineering bootloader? Attached is a thread of someone with the same problem, and like I said, there are a couple more out there.

I change roms many times, and recovery many times, this time i had been using 3.006 modified with battery charge.
didnt have a problem until i put the royalglacior 1.5 version.
than i could use the wifi, it gave me an error, i rebooted few times, and always error, and finally gave up.
I had the same fastboot errors when trying to flash from 3.0.0.5 to 2.5.1.2 after i mistakenly flashed 2.5.1.2 when i had cm7. You may need to update your sdk. I had to install my HTCdrivers on a new box and Download the tools folder from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=928370 to get it working.

First, there is only RoyalGlacier v 1.2 as of the latest for now. Since you used that CWM 3.0.0.6 while battery charge off, there is a chance it might have reverted back to CWM 3.0.0.5 and RoyalGlacier requires 3.0.0.6 and stock restore requires 2.5.1.4 but your recovery may be 3.0.0.5. Try flashing a ROM that just requires 3.0.0.5. For future reference, use this version of CWM 3.0.0.6 from here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=944681). That sticks and never reverts back to .5.
Thanks for replies, n advices.
I have tried every which way possible to put the recoveries, and all failed.
I have had 3.0.0.6 modified for a while. was not going back and forth with 2.5.1.4
anyone else come out of this mess,
if not is there a way to get it to even at s - on and unroot?
I dont think so, but worth to ask
thanks
I'm having the same issue where it gets stuck at the Tmobile spash screen and when i boot into clockwork, it gives me the cache error. Formatting it through clockwork doesnt work, and when i try to restore it it also give me an error. I tried to format through adb but that hasn't worked either, unless I'm typing in the command wrong
I dnt believe there is a way to fix that issue,i had that issue awhile back on my 1st mytouch 4g,i had cm7 & made the mistake of tryin to nandroid restore a backup which I forgot was stocked froyo & everythin flashed ok but got stuck in bootloop,so battery pulled went to recovery & had all those errors u mentioned & never found a fix.....called tmobile,got a replacement no problems 2 mnth later & warranty still there..... Now I have clockwork 3.0.0.6 & havent ran into that issue yet,goodluck let us knw if u find a fix....

Im not really to sure,a friend of mine had the same issue & went thru HTC & got a replacement so want im guessin is they dnt care but dnt hold it against me,it could of been 1 of those lucky times. All he said was that the phone wnt boot & they just sd it was a known issue & sent him another one...
well I think I've successfully bricked my mt4g. It was working fine until I installed the latest clockwork version and RoyalGinger, tried to restore some applications + data with mybackup root but it froze. Then it was stuck on a bootloop, went back into clockwork and started getting the "can't mount cache" errors. Now it's stuck on the T-Mobile splash screen if I try to do a normal boot, bootloader works and it also goes into clockwork, but it's not able to do any factory resets/wipe. Tried the factory image file and it fails on the first 5 or 6 items, skips another item and hangs at flashing the radio. Now it needs to be replaced and T-Mo is out of stock of the red mt4g's, so I have to wait until they have stock of red ones, then it's going to suck if I get one with a bad screen. I got offered a black one, but I just like my red one too much.
did you include the part file when flashing the PD15IMG.zip?
"there needs to be part7backup-1294463706.bin file on your sd card with the PD15IMG.zip file...both on the root of sd card."
I'm thinking that the file comes stock on the sdcard, but when we format our sdcard it wipes it. I know I personally ran the PD15IMG.zip file twice on my phone and both times it worked great, but both times I did it before I wiped my sdcard (and I do remember a ridiculous amount of extra stuff on the sdcard when it came with the phone).

That part7-xxxxx.bin file is created when u root with the gfree method,it doesnt come stock on the sd card... what method did u use to root...dnt use unlockr.com methods,its old & doesnt give true oerm root...
I made an assumption, i just used the basic root.sh script so I didn't read into the gfree method (see no need). I just know that people who have had trouble reverting to stock with the PD15IMG.zip fixed the issue by putting that part7backup file on the root of their sdcard.

gfree method would of gave u S off & that backup file,really I dnt think theres a fix for that just yet,without that file..... For future reference never restore data fron any backup app(ex.titanium,astro erc) u can only restore apps cause then u restorin data from a different rom & tryin to put it on a current rom that probably isnt the same...

no idea where this is coming from. I was just offering a suggestion to the op. As you can clearly see I am not the op. I do not have issues. I simply made an assumption about the gfree method, which was cleared up, though I still think it's a very real possibility that the op didn't put the part7 file on the root of his sdcard when he flashed the pd15img.zip. Either way, I thank you for your advice, but I'm not the one seeking it here.

What exactly did u do to get that error??? Did u wipe data,cache,delvik & format system,i always format sd card also in case the sd card has a currupt file... did it automatically give the errors once u flashed?? Did u check the mdsum on the file to make sure u had a full zip file??? What recovery did u use 3.0.2.4 or 3.0.0.6??Sorry need to ask questions in order to help lol.... Ive heard of people fixin their phones with the part7backup-xxxxx.bin file & the pd15 file....just stick those to the root of the sd card go into recovery & let the phone to its thimg..
@cmdmilitia13 Thanks so much for even trying to help! i have clockworkmod recovery 3.0.0.5 .... i flashed, worked perfectly, installed the rom the last night, woke up in the morning, phone wouldnt turn on, took out battery, and when it finally loaded, it kepts rebooting back to the loading screen.... i went back to recovery, tried to wipe data and cache, wont work, did delvik, and didnt say if it was successful or not but i formatted sd card, as soon as i try to format system it says:

Royalginger requires recovery 3.0.0.6 or 3.0.2.4....3.0.0.5 was mainly for cm7 but clockwork updated to flash froyo & gingerbread now... I believe u can dwnload a cm7 rom to the sd card frm the pc then try to flash that if that dnt wrk then if u rooted by using gfree method & have the 0.85.2007 bootloader it should of created a part7xxxx.bin file & that will help unrootin the phne & startin frm scratch again...
Theres a couple threads on here that could help u out,ur not fully bricked tho... I had this issue about 3 months ago when there barely was a fix now at least u have a chance..
i have the 0.86.0000 bootloader, will that be a problem? if not if i google how to unroot i should be able to find it easily?
i also downloaded cm7 tried to install, and the same rom and issues still pop up, so i guess my only choice is to unroot, but how do i unroot without using terminal?

If you rooted with gfree, go back to the thread that guided you. It has instructions on how to unroot. Basically you want to place part7backupxxxxxx.zip on the root of your SD, download PD15IMG.zip, place on root of SD, then load bootloader and let it do it's thing, responding when prompted. If you can't mount the card you're going to have to find a way to mount it outside of the phone, either with an adapter or a card reader.

You need the engineering bootloader to use adb, both will run the PD15IMG.zip.

The reason we talk about is pretty simple. .85 allows you to use ADB commands and flash stuff via the HBoot engine. Where .86 does not allow you to. So if you get in "semi-brick" mode you can 9/10 times get your self up and rocking.
had it happen earlier today as a matter of fact.

Help problem with mytouch 4g
Hi i have a MyTouch 4G rooted with Virtuous Fusion ROM. Everything was working until when I tried to install Miui Music Player on it. I did adb push but after doing it when i unplugged the phone from my computer several Force Close came up then i rebooted my phone then the MYTOUCH Tmobile logo start up screen came then the HTC logo came then my phone will shut down. I tried to start my phone again the same thing happen. I did Hboot and tried recovery from there but it didnt work. I tried Factory Reset but it failed. I go to clockwork recovery mode if i do backup and restore or factory reset nothing happens. Does it mean my phone is gone? Is there anything i can do to fix it? Please anybody help
If when you go into hboot it says you have s-off and you're able to get into recovery and its the latest like you say, then you should still be good.
From a pc just download any rom. I suggest downloading cm latest nightly just for the mean time.
-Go into recovery on your device.
-Plug your device to the pc go into mount and storage and mount sdcard.
-On your pc open your device sdcard and place the nighly rom you downloaded in it.
-Unmount your sdcard from your device, press the back button and from recovery flash the nighly rom.
Hope that works for you.

You're confusing me man. I thought the whole reason for this post was because you couldn't flash roms. But now you're saying it goes into cm7 but you have fc's. So I really do not see anything wrong. You're just probably doing some thing to cm7 that's not compatible with it.
I just say re-download cm7 and re-flash it. Before flashing though, clear all data l/factory reset, cache and dalvik.

noo bro the recovery is fuc--d up... it does not mount cache and it doesnt flash sense roms and nor other rom... it dont fix permissions, it freezes a lottttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt...... i just dont know what to do.
If you are getting the cant mount cache error fallow what I said (if you have hboot and know adb) Flash a 2.x.x.x CWM reboot recovery format cache. BUT if you get an error in adb when trying to flash the old CWM (something like write FAILED I think I don't remember exactly) but if you get that error...as stated above, you're f*cked. I have a glorified battery charger too so I feel your pain. But as of right now there isn't a cure for the EMMC failing (which is what causes this issue.)
Hope you can flash an old CWM. If so I recommend unrooting and rerooting with the root.sh method.

no i did not do flashin through hboot. I downloaded a zip file for MIUI Music player then unzip it on my computer at C/: android-sdk-windows/tools Then i did the ADB push for miui apk to /system/app. After i did this several force close came up then i removed my phone from my PC and restarted my phone. Then start up logo comes out but my phone will not completely boot up. What can i do to fix this? Does this mean my phone is bricked.
I was using my mytouch 4g rooted and everything running the virtuous fusion rom when it shut off. When I tried to reboot the phone but it just went to the mytouch 4g screen and froze. I took the battery out and tried again several times but the same result was the phone being stuck at the mytouch 4g logo. I can get into the recovery but when I try to boot the rom up again it just says installation aborted. I also tried to run another rom (RoyalGinger) but it still froze at the mytouch 4g logo. I am very nervous, is my phone bricked?
Thank you for any answers possible,
Justin
Are you getting cache errors in recovery? Try wiping the cache partition for example, and see if that completes successfully. If you get the typical cache errors, that means your eMMC has failed and unfortunately the phone is indeed bricked.
Post your bootloader info please, that might help solve this

Cache errors?
I too am having cache errors....any solution to fix the issue? I cant flash anything, but I can get into fastboot just fine.
Teejay - question for you since I have read alot of your posts concerning cache errors....in mohammeds case, since he does have the engineering bootloader, cant he use fastboot to flash the stock pd15img.zip and get rid of cache errors? As long as he does not have fail pu? I believe I read of members successfully doing that in the emmc thread....It seems logical to be able to do that, reroot, and reflash cwm recovery but i could be wrong...

That's the only solution, but unfortunately in most cases it has not worked. Sometimes they get the "Fail-PU" error when flashing PD15IMG, and sometimes even though it seems to flash successfully, the phone still bootloops and produces cache errors in recovery. I think I've read only one or two accounts of the phone becoming usable again once those cache errors appear in recovery. However, I've read probably a dozen or more accounts of nothing working.

Yeah sorry man, but there's no hope at that point.
I am having the same issue. I loaded Beast Version 4 on mine. It was working fine and then it froze. I pulled the battery put it back in powered it on and it booted to the loading screen for the ROM (Green Android guy) I then pulled the battery again. Booted and it froze at the MT4G screen. So I botted into the Hboot. I run the wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition. Which both say success (Data Wife Complete,Cache Wipe Complete) and then its like it is trying to run recovery but it says:
E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/log
E: Can't Open /cache/recovery/log
E: Cant mount /cache/recovery/last_log

Is this the cache errors you were talking about? Also when I tried to re-inatll the ROM it gives me an error but when I try re-loading Royal Ginger it loads it fine no errors.. Until I try to go back to previous screen to reboot then I get the error as seen above. I reboot and then it stops again at the MT4G splash screen. Am I bricked.. or is there fix for this. And if so is it the one listed above or is my issue slightly different.
Please help - Crossed Fingers.
I'm sorry, I know it sucks, but the phone is bricked. You can try restoring back to stock using this thread. Rename that file to PD15IMG.zip, put it in the root of your SD, and boot into the bootloader. If the file flashes successfully, there might be hope, but if you get the Fail-PU error, then it's definitely done.
OK thank you for your help. Crossing fingers but betting I am finicio :-(
I am very sorry to be bothersome. I clicked the link and it took me to a place to download the file (File Factory), but the file to download isnt there. Has it been move and by chance will you post the link to it. Again I am sorry.
I'm fairly sure that the file in this thread is the same file, and appears to be still available for download. Give that one a try.
Thank you again I am downloading now. Also it is highly appreciative how quickly you have responded. Again thank you so much.

Sure thing, I hope it works for you. If not and you have T-Mobile insurance, most people have had no problem exchanging their phones for a new one when this happens. Also, don't forget to hit the thanks button if I've been helpful.
Yeah did any of you use the Gfree method of rooting? Because that's the one
I used.
Ok, so to start off, I have resolved this, I am just trying to find out why it happened to prevent future occurrences. I was running Calkulin's EViO 3 v1.0, HBOOT 0.76, 2.15 Radio, Stock Kernel.
So here is what happened that led up to the problem. I had just downloaded the Latest amazon App of the day (x-Scope browser pro), and used the Reboot app that comes prepackaged with Calkulin's rom to reboot the phone. Upon restarting the phone got hung at the HTC EVO 4G screen (I let it sit here for about 15 minutes). My thought was ok, something is wrong with this app. So I booted into recovery to attempt to fix the problem.
Upon booting into recovery (Ra Recovery 2.3), I was greeted with
E:\ Can't mount CACHE:recovery/command
E:\ Can't mount CACHE:recovery/log
E:\ Can't mount CACHE:recovery/log
It took several minutes for these 3 errors to process on the recovery screen, every time I navigated to a new menu they would appear again. The first thing I did was wipe my Cache, and Dalvik. This removed the errors from the recovery, however the phone still wouldn't boot. So I ran VR_Superwipe and restored my CM7 nandroid. All is good now, however I would really like to know what caused this to happen in the first place.
I tried to google it, however it appears to be a very uncommon error to get, and of the posts I found with the same error people claimed it was unrecoverable and they had to run the RUU to fix it(This was not the case).
Somehow, someway, I believe either by the install of the app, and/or you had a corrupted rom install and that you just had bad timing! I've had the same situation happen to me.
