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

I have already received the above errors numerous times when flashing my phone. Also noticed if received these errors, my CACHE is not recognized by recovery..

I don't know if we have the same problem..

My method of fixing this:

1. remove the battery for 30secs to 1 minute and putting it back in

2. boot directly to your bootloader, then go to recovery

3. If you haven't received the errors, your cache will be formatted to EXT3, try formatting it to ext4 if need be

4. I wipe everything (all partitions) including dalvik cache and battery stat

5. flash your rom again, cross your fingers and hope for the best..

check my sig for more info..
[HTC Desire S] amidabuddha:
You are lucky (or smart enough) to have 4EXT Recovery. With ClockworkMod is not that easy :) But the solution is the same with one additional step (it is described in the guide in my signature)
[HTC Desire S] tommyhot:
I have also faced this kind of errors, except I couldn't even get to the recovery.

I manage to resolve it this way http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=18622540&postcount=4 but I can't really help you with getting it back to S-ON.
[HTC Desire S] Skanob:
You should be able to change your recovery without any problem if your s-off or unlocked 2.xx.xx hboot s-on.

1. Get 4ext recovery.img

2. connect phone on fastboot

3. In cmd use these command to push the recovery image:

Fastboot flash recovery D::\recovery.img (<- should be directory of 4ext recovery image)

Fastboot reboot-bootloader

Now you should have 4ext recovery.

P.s.

Cmd code may need to be corrected, as using my phone right now. Hope memories serves me right.
[HTC Desire S] amidabuddha:
I do not think that you can use fastboot flash whatewer without an engineering bootloader (requires s-off) or push images with adb without su (requires rooting). This is the point of all the guides and tutorials around here...
[HTC Desire S] budingyun:
i'm also got this error many time.

but full data/cache wipe solve the problem.
[HTC Desire S] Skanob:
You actually can.. Check my sig.. I have already flashed a stock recovery then back to 4EXT many times.. I am on OFFICIAL HBOOT from the 2.10.401.4 update..

flashing OFFICIAL RUUs prior to latest hboot didn't work for me as the HBOOT seems to be un-writable to old HBOOTs. I haven't tried revolutionary's 6.xx.xx HBOOT though..

I am on unrooted STOCK RUU when I tried to flash the update forcefully. HBOOT and RECOVERY got updated so got me stock on HTC logo (without the "quietly brilliant") means ROM is not booting.

That is the method I used to revive my phone.

Edit:

"Unlocking" my S-ON could've helped me..
[HTC Desire S] amidabuddha:
Ok taking my words back :) And how do you did this? You flashed the Stock 2.10.401.4 ROM over you bricked phone and it worked? (overwritted the revolutionary hboot or which version was it before?).
[HTC Desire S] Skanob:
To make the long story short:

I stupidly get the firmware.zip file inside the ota file. That file had the latest hboot, recovery, and others. I renamed it to the correct pgxxximg.zip (cant remember the correct filename, currently drinking :) ) to flash it from bootloader.

Everything went well. Everything inside the file updated the corresponding file/partition/image to my phone. Hence letting me be stock to the "locked" hboot 2.xx.xx s-on. ROM wouldnt boot as I said.

Being on the "locked" state wouldn't allow me to flash anything on the phone as far as i can remember. While writing, it will say has its unsuccessful.

But "unlocking" the hboot let me flash the recovery.
[HTC Desire S] francocm:
I just realised I never left an answer as to how I resolved this problem (around a year ago!).

The flash chip itself was fried and it apparently was a problem with a good number of Desire S phones.

Took the device for warranty and it got replaced with a brand new mainboard.

Happy ending :)

Hi everyone!

Are live wallpapers Android OS version specific?

My friend has a Galaxy S and never updated the OS so it was 2.1 Eclair?

Last night, using KIES, we could update to 2.2 Froyo and then on to 2.3 Gingerbread. The dandelion wallpaper disappeared and was not in the market so I found it on the internet and downloaded it.

It doesn't run on her phone. I tried it on my SE Arc too and it doesn't load. Just get the 'force close' message.

I know she will enjoy setting up 2.3 to her liking, but she did like the dandelions!

The Galaxy Nexus doesn't have Gorilla Glass because of the Contour Screen technology... Gorilla Glass could never be used to make it, I guess. Anyway, my friend has a Nexus S, and it uses that same thing, and the screen is great.

The only thing I'm wondering about the GN... isn't the high resolution going to suck all the ****ing battery?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Rusty!:
Poor example, the HD2 does indeed have Gorilla Glass.

The Nexus One, whoever, does not.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] blunden:
The Nexus One does not have Gorilla Glass. It does however have hardened glass, just like Gorilla Glass is. The basic principle is that the internal forces in the glass are stronger than the force applied to it while scratching it. If it gets hit with a sharp object however the glass will shatter because the forces making it strong are no longer "balanced" so it will work against you and shatter the glass, unlike normal glass that would just get a crack.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kanariya:
I think because Gorilla Glass doesn't supply curved glass.

Nexus S doesn't have it and it works just fine.

I like my phone naked. No case, no screen protector and still scratches free after 10months.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dnlsmy:
Actually, it does:D

Source:http://www.corninggorillaglass.com/products-with-gorilla/htc

It's listed under HTC Dragon, the codename it had before launch. My old Nexus One never got a scratch on the screen, and I sold it in that same condition.

NOTE: My current Sensation has "Gorilla Glass" but is moderately scratched up; especially visible when the screen is off with a hint of glare. Gorilla Glass is not all that it's cracked up to be, it's just harder to CRACK not SCRATCH, hence why the Galaxy SII fared so well against the iPhone4S in the drop test. Gorilla "Glass" is essentially just a hardened plastic. Real glass cannot bend as well as Gorilla "Glass".

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] koszor:
not to sound like a d!ck or anything but..

if you cant tell if your phone has gorilla glass or not, then does it matter?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Soldier Blue:
You can't tell what SoC your phone has just by looking at it, and it still matters.

Nexus One does not have Gorilla Glass, Nexus S does and so has almost every other flagship phone released since the Galaxy S onwards. They don't include it in every PR now because its no longer a relevant marketing thing.

The whole 'does not work with curves' thing is news to me, since last I checked *pics up his phone* - the Nexus S looks pretty curved to me.

You can also see how stupidly flexible the stuff is in product demos. Its like a hybrid of glass and plastic. iPhone 4/4S gets raped in drop tests vs SGS II even though it uses the same Gorilla Glass mainly because of the whole metal vs plastic thing, but also because the glass layer on the iPhone has no significant edge protection to put the glass under enough compression that it transmits shock to the body effectively. At least that is my observation/take on the matter.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Griffrez:
The ****? Nexus S has Gorilla Glass? Lollll. You got some problems. Nexus S doesn't have GG. And Nexus One does have. So... invalid argument.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Spl4tt:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jenablinsky:
gs doesn't have gorilla glass? -........................-"
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Luxferro:
I think the main purpose of gorilla glass is to prevent scratches. Not to prevent the glass from breaking from falls. That part is mostly up to the structural integrity of the phone around the glass, and where the point of impact is.

Curved glass is a stronger then flat glass consisting of same material. It's a fact!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DiogoLamego:
i use a screen protector in all my smartphone/tablet, have gorilla glass or not.

So if galaxy nexus dont have this tecnology for me, no problem
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dhiral.v:
That's bull crap because my dad's HTC Desire S has gorilla glass, and, still somehow, managed to make a big scratch on it right in the middle of the screen.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] veyka:
Gorilla glass is more crack resistant than scratch resistant.

Also hardened do blunt force impacts shouldn't break the screen, but little bits of sand etc will scratch the screen np
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Luxferro:
I never said it was scatch proof. Just more resistant. What I said isn't bull****. Grow up, learn something in school.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dnlsmy:
This. Gorilla Glass is a specialized hardened plastic. It's primary purpose is to prevent cracks, which is why all their product demos have them smashing it with a hammer, not scratching it with keys...:rolleyes:

I think in most experiences gorilla glass or not the phone being scratched really seems like a stroke of good or bad luck. I've seen my phone go through stuff that I was sure it's screen was gonna be raped from. And it comes out without a scratch, then some goofy ass thing you'd never imagine would affect it happens and the screen is scratched like mad.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dhiral.v:
It's all just marketing dude, phones without gorilla glass do the same job in my eyes. Besides, if you drop a phone with a glass screen face down, gorilla glass or not, it's going to crack.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dragooon123:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] -BoneZ-:
You might want to change the title of the thread and point to the sources so that others who are looking for the answer to this question can find it in the OP instead of reading through several pages before finding the answer. ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Luxferro:
I agree. Mostly it is marketing. While gorilla glass might be better then regular glass in some ways. It is still glass. It's not indestructible. A lot of it has to do with the design of the enclosure around the glass.

Take the Motorola OG Droid. It is made of metal, with gorilla glass. I have one, my buddy does too. I never used a case or skin. Put it in the same pocket as my keys, ect. It has a couple minor scratches. My buddy dropped his recently, his whole screen shattered. Looking at the pattern of the cracks, you can see where the point of impact occured. It occured at the metal frame around the glass. You can see all the cracks spreading out from that point.

A couple months ago I was driving my car with my nexus s (which doesn't have gorilla glass - it has curved glass) sitting on the passenger seat. I had to brake hard and the phone went flying and crashed into my cars metal computer enclosure (I had it apart troubleshooting electrical problems). My screen didn't break, but I now have a nice dent on the plastic frame that surrounds the glass.

A lot of it is good and bad luck. But also a lot depends on the design of the phone

. Metal is less likely to dent, or bend. And more likely to transfer the engery from the point of impact to whatever is on the opposite side of it. In the case of the Droid, it was the glass that absorbed the energy. In the case of the nexus s, the plastic absorbed the energy, creating a dent in it. Plastic and curved glass do a better job of absorbing that energy.

If the nexus was to fall face first on the glass, it would be less likely to break the glass due to it's curve. the face of the glass doesn't contact flat surfaces. Only the edges do. It comes down to physics that curved surfaces are stronger then flat ones. Think of bridges and the shapes, curves of the support beams that make them able to hold all that weight.

Here's a link that explains why curved surfaces are stronger. http://planetaryrenewal.org/ipr/engineering.html
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Griffrez:
If you are saying that any type of glass currently available that is applied to a direct impact (face down fall) will crack the glass/screen? You're wrong. Many (crazy) people did that with many phones, and pretty much, most of them survived that kind of test. At least in those cases. Maybe luck. Maybe engineering success. Try it yourself, and you'll see. ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pukemon:
Kinda wish the galaxy had a back cover like the atrix. The way the battery cover goes around the corners, being made out of plastic and a good tpu case the atrix is hard pressed to crack if it fell on a corner or edge. The way iphones are, theyre basically designed to inevitably crack and it shows with all the cracked iphones ive seen. Every generation at that.

I voided my warranty and your mum.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kms108:
Gorilla glass is just harden glass, and is more resistance to scratches, but it's no way totally scratch resistant or crack proof.

Also corning makes the gorilla glass to different levels of thickness and resistances to meet every need to what the phone manufacturer request, so comparing different phones and brands make no sense.

I wont indicate models as some phones dont have gorilla glass, but phone manufacturers include motorola, samsung, asus and nokia tend request for thicker glass to be used in their phones.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SubyWill:
I think the screens Samsung uses are even better than Gorilla Glass.

My Nexus S has been dropped on rocks, gravel, down stairs, all over the place, and the screen is still perfect with not a single scratch.

I think they don't use it because of the curvature of the screen.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Uss_Defiant:
I'm actually happy about this as well...my galaxy s has so many small scratches from regular use its crazy.

The girlfriends nexus s on the other hand is always in her purse with a lot of other random objects (key's and the like) and has yet to see a scratch.

So yeah, in my eye's this is a positive
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kolyan:

I managed to scratch my Vibrant only few weeks after the use......and Vibrant has Gorilla.

Either way I dont care much about this....I always use screen protector anyway and I have never cracked a screen.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] doublea500:

Edit-it has gorilla glass

kinda sad to see the galaxy nexus not have this. i always thought that the glass was basically unscratchable. only scratch i have on it was when i banged it into the corner of my desk. and still, after putting on a screen protector (which somehow continues to stay on for months), i cant feel the scratch nor do i even know where it is anymore.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] schriss:
Yes and can someone update first post. Corning Gorilla Glass has been marketed to be desired on the phone when in reality there are other similar solutions. It's possible that because of the fact that everyone knows what Gorilla Glass is, they wanted hugely unrealistic amount of money for using their technology on Google flagship phone. I trust Samsung chose other solution and couldn't care less about Corning.

This reminds me these laptop speakers, they have also been marketed, for example my old laptop had aluminium grill with Antec Lansing logo and it doesn't mean it sounded good.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] player911:
My nexus one had a mint screen when I sold it with never using a screen protector. My G2x already had 2 scratches on it... and is has gorilla glass.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] darkhawkff:
Take a look at a few of the Asus Transformer videos about the Gorilla Glass. There's one where a guy is trying to scratch the screen, and it shows no evidence of scratching.

Honestly though, I really see it as nothing but a marketing ploy. If you like your device, you're gonna take care of it. You'll end up getting a screen protector and maybe a case. Outside of that, do you really need it? Most likely, no. While I'm kinda sad to see it won't have Gorilla Glass, it doesn't change the fact that I still want the phone.

I managed to scratch my Gorilla Glass on my SGS2 with just a belt buckle, so to me, it's a moot point about complainint that the GGN doesnt have it.

It's just a matter of taking care with our devices. I'd be more worried about scratching the plastic back/sides.
