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:
E: Cant mount /cache/recovery/command
E: Cant mount /cache/recovery/log and etc.
as soon as i try a wipe it says the similar

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.

and this one rings a bell....
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1035413
They were both what most people would call bricked, but since they had the .85 engineering screen we could get them up and running.
I'm unable to boot my Glacier, I am able to get into the boot menu though. i was wondering if there is any way at all where i could perhaps just wipe everything and just reinstall the OS, or any other ways to fix this. any help would be very much appreciated.
two things:
1.Can you get in to recovery through the boot menu?
2. if you can't, download http://www.megaupload.com/?d=V4NAODYZ and make sure it's named PD15IMG.zip and put in on the sd card (Not in any folders) and go to the boot menu and then bootloader and it will reset the entire phone.
It would be helpful of you provided information regarding how to ended up where unable to boot. Based on what you provide we can give you "correct" feedback to fix your issue.
truthfully i have no clue on how it bricked. My little brother did something and will not tell me, but i think it had something to do with him trying to root the phone or something with that gingerbread mod.

You are going to need to find out what he did or how far he got
listen i can't find out, all i know is clockwork mod is installed, when i get into the boot menu it looks for a PD15diag on the sd, and clockworkmod can't mount /cache/recovery/command, /log, /log, /last_log, /last_log
Dude if your brother screwed up your phone make him tell you what he did.
another can't mount cache error huh? sorry to tell ya i think your phone is f***ed dude. i would search for "cwm can't mount cache error" or something like that and see if anybody has a solution, but i'm pretty sure this means your emmc chip is fried.
what does it say when it looks for the pd15img.zip file? does it update?
it says no image.

so let me see if i got this right. Please correct me if i'm wrong. You boot bootloader > it scans for pd15img.zip and finds nothing (like normal) > you go to recovery via bootloader > in recovery it says a bunch of can't mounts and fails etc.
correction i got it to now read the pd15img.zip file after formating it to a FAT32 sd, but so far it's now given me the Fail-PU for bootloader, Boot, Recovery, System, Userdata, and splash1 and seems to be hanging at radio_V2

Yes, basically. i found out that this happens on the clockworkmod 3.0, so i've been trying to find out how to downgrade it to try and see if that'll work.
sorry pal nothing i can do for you. search for failed emmc chip or can't mount in cwm and read those posts just to clarify that your emmc is fried. maybe someone figured it out??? doubt it though.
Hmmmm alright well if anyone else could help me out on this that would be fantastic, I'm trying not to believe a chip is fried

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
E: Can't Open /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.
Hey guys,
I have a MT4G here, i was running CM7 on it. Latest nightly, all was running smooth until somehow i started getting a bunch of FCs and i had to reboot to supposedly fix that. However, when i rebooted the phone was stuck on a bootloop, so i rebooted to recovery instead.
I tried restoring a nand from stock ROM, and i tried restoring a CM7 backup I had made a while ago, but recovery reads the following: E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/command.
I then said, ok, maybe the recovery is borked. So i tried to redownload the recovery img from the official website, and i "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" - please note i had renamed the recovery file to recovery.img for the ease of typing things. Flashing that was a no-go, i get the following error: "remote: image update error".
So i kept on reading forums, and i came across the PD15IMG.zip, i placed on the root of my SDcard, rebooted to HBOOT, it checks for the update but fails to initiate installation, error says: "Fail - PU"
Do you guys have any ideas as to what can i try? I have the Eng Bootloader.
Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but you're bricked. The emmc chip died.

Appreciate the support, but i've seen hard bricks before. I am sure -and hopeful- that i'll be able to get out of this one.
If it serves any purpose, I tried erasing the recovery, rather than overwriting it, and i get the same Remote error. Unable to delete.
EDIT: Ok, so i spent the night reading, and it is not a user-driven failure, but rather a Manufacturer problem. Some eMMCs (labeled: "M4G2DE") may die all of the sudden, and not even necessarily during a ROM change, and/or during a restore. It can also fail inadvertently during day to day usage.
I am moving all my interested to the linked thread, in case anyone is interested.

This is stupid. You obviously have no idea what you are talking about. The only actual confirmation of a dead eMMC is the fail-pu error.
get the original pd15img.zip, put it on the root out your sd card,.then boot into hboot and follow the on screen instructions to flash it. THEN if you get the fail-pu error,.you know your emmc chip is dead.

i've tried many battery pulls and yet it won't manage to boot past that screen nor will it mount my sd card. i've been looking all over xda for a fix for this and i can't seem to get any solution to fix my problem.
i tried adb but im not sure if im doing it right or not because im using a mac.
anyways, any help will be greatly appreciated!!
and yes i tried the method where i download the nandroid backup and mount through cwr, but each time i try to mount my sd card to mount it fails, for some reason it only mounts if i have twrp recovery...

try mount "usb storage" also you may try and re-flash miui and not wipe cache ect. it might boot back up.
ok, but how can i reflash the rom if the sd card won't mount? is it possible through adb?

actually this doesn't belong in development section... it goes in Q&A. So yeah that post count limit is there for a reason
boot into recovery by holding volume up and power button and then selecting recovery and backup then wipe data/cache and start over and see if that fixes the issue.
Tried that as well, i began to research the problem more and it could possible that my nand is corrupt, so i might need to send it in under warranty? If this where the case would i just need to lock the bootloader?
reboot into recovery and wipe dalvik and try to reboot. Had the same problem but on cm7/matr1x and i wiped it and it booted, worth a try.
