[Q] Hangs on HTC logo, errors CWM help (Desire Z)

Hey there,
I searched a lot (hours, really) but i haven’t found a solution at all… (only more ??)
I was running the IncertCoin_Vision_v1.5 rom, and no problems at all. Only when i downloaded a app from the market my Phone hangs.. So, restart.. booted but after a few seconds (when asking for my PIN) it hangs again!
So i restarted to hboot > recovery and with Clockworkmod recovery (v3.0.2.4) i installed the rom again.. but now it hangs on the green HTC logo and won’t go any further.
So, again to Clockworkmod.. only now it is giving errors:
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
When selecting install zip from sd>choose zip it starts with:
-formatting system and cache..
-Clearing dalvink and boot cache..
-Installing system files..
E:error in /sdcard/InsertCoin_Vision_v1.5.zip (status 0) installation aborted.
Ok, ok. I made a backup with CWM, so after putting it on my (formatted fat32) card and starting CWM to restore it.. it gives an error: Error while formatting /system!
So I searched for a solution for this too.. but a answer? Nope. So is there anyone how can help me? Or point me to a thread that gives a solution? Is it a hardware problem (cache??) or software?
Sorry if there IS a thread about this.. i really searched.. and im so tired now..
Tnx for reading.

Sorry to say, but it's a Hardware Issue. You'll have to get a replacement.
there's a thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1039504

Ok, tnx for the answer. I read the whole thread, and it's clear. I'm returning it to HTC for repair. Very weird, people also talking about downloading from the market and suddenly the phone hangs and having the same problems as I have.
Well.. thread can be closed already. Tnx!

Supply more info please. Things like how you were flashing rom are a good place to start.

i booted into recovery from rom manager then i did my wipes i needed to do then installed the rom, and the phone rebooted started up to the boot screen of the rom waited for a while then it went to black screen and nothing happen so i pulled the battery then booted into hboot then into recovery and now i get that error

Did you run a nand backup? Or is your recovery giving you an error as well?
On my evo fresh 3.5

i did an nand back up n when i try to restore in recovery i get
error while formatting /system!
E: cant open/cache/recovery/log
E: cant open/cache/recovery/log

I got the same problem as this. Any way of fixing this issue? I cant write anything on the system either.

Check your eMMc chip in the general forum.

Try starting over flashing stock pd15iimg.zip via hboot. It looks like you have the stock radio still so it should be a clean flash. Reroot and reflash cwm recovery

[Q] Did I brick my phone?!

This is what I currently have:
Glacier PVT Ship S-OFF
HBOOT - 0.86.000
MICROP-0429
RADIO-26.03.02.26_M
eMMC-boot
Ive tried installing the "PD15IMG file" but I get "failed pu" on every step.
When I try to reboot into recovery, this is what I get:
E: Cant mount /cache/recovery/command
E: Cant mount /cache/recovery/log
E: Cant open /cache/recovery/log
E: Cant mount /cache/recovery/last_log
E: Cant open /cache/recovery/last_log
Everything was fine until I got a boot loop from a newly installed ROM... I pulled out the battery and thats when all hell broke loose.
From what Ive read... Looks like i bricked it. Any and all help is greatly appreciated....
Thanks!

Bootloop?
hmm usually pd15 is flawless. What phone do you have and what recovery/version try backing up sd to computer and wipe data and all caches (dalvik and main) then re flashing a rom (CM7, Royal ginger 3.0, or AOSP preferred) if doesn't work or you have continuous bootloop go here and scroll down to my comment

No, you did not brick your phone, but your phone is most likely bricked. Do a search on eMMC chip...yours failed.

I have a mytouch4g CWR 3.2.2.4
But there in lies the problem: I cant wipe anything because it cant mount anything!
I get a whole bunch of "error mounting cache, data, & sdcard" and a whole bunch of "error formating system, data, cache... I cant do anything in recovery

And since I have S-off... If I ship to HTC for warranty I surely wont get replaced right? Thanx by the way...

There have been alot of people that sent their phones back rooted and had no issues. I actually don't recall hearing about anyone that had to pay for the phone..

Where did you find the PD15IMG file

Found it here: http://androidforums.com/mytouch-4g...-restore-mytouch-4g-original-factory-rom.html
May I ask why?

I checked out that file, and it looks like it has a ridiculously long file name. Did you rename it to "PD15IMG.ZIP" when you copied it to your SD card?
edit: Oh wait, of course you did. That's the only way the HBOOT will load the image.
Guess this isn't very helpful now, but from now on I'd be very leery of downloading and flashing any PD15IMG.ZIP files that don't give you an MD5 sum to check against to make sure they're not corrupted or anything.

Looks like my eMMc chip failed... Yup! its bricked...

Try sending it back to T-Mobile or HTC. I've read reports of people sending back their broken rooted phones and still being able to get a free replacement on warranty.

[Q] HELP!! soft BRICK! Boot loop and cant enter recovery after flashing CM10.1

Hello there! i'm kinda worried...
my Defy is stuck in boot loop and i cannot enter custom recovery, only stock!
this happened after restoring a backup of a working 20130511 cm10.1 by quarks (i tried 20130516 but I kept having random reboots)
i don't know how to fix it... i cannot enter custom recovery so i cant flashanything... i can enter just stock recovery but it shows this:
E:Can't mount CACHE:recovery/command
E:Can't mount CACHE:recovery/caller
E:Can't mount CACHE:recovery/log
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
please help me
--- SOLVED ---
i flashed the original SBF and went trought the "rooting and installing the custom rom" again, just like explained in tons of threads here...
i hoped i could find a way not to loose all my settings but no such luck

My Nexus just ****-blocked me :/

hey bros.
So here's the thing. I got myself into a sticky situation . My Nexus 4 got soft-bricked from the lollipop update. Im stuck at bootloop(The small colorful dots that you see when you start your nexus).
Now heres the sticky part , The Bootloader wont stay unlocked(It goes back to being locked after a reboot, even after I did it manually with Fastboot oem unlock )
And I cant do a Factory OR a Cache wipe aswell
Im getting errors like
"E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/log
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/log
E:failed to mount/cache (Invalid argument)"
Im just looking for a nudge in the right direction
Any suggestions will be appreciated, help a bro out

Hmm, something might be wrong with the cache partition.
So you can't unlock the bootloader, wiping cache from recovery doesn't work, fastboot obv doesn't work, and you're in a bootloop. So, is your warranty still available?
Edit: Thought of something
Try unlocking the bootloader, then, without rebooting, try flashing the factory images:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-4/general/how-to-how-to-flash-factory-image-t2010312
I don't exactly remember if the phone reboots automatically after unlocking the bootloader. In case it does, ignore this edit.
