Found a fix to restore to stock!

Warning! This method will restore your tablet to factory defaults. I did not try to flash a custom recovery while in Fastboot Mode though Im sure that will work too if you just want to write a Recovery (TWRP... hint hint) and reflash a different ROM.

I'm convinced. This tablet must truly be unbrickable!!

I have found another fix and it was as easy as pie! Here's what I did... results may vary. Please post here if you had success or not. Also, you will need working adb for this to work as well as the ADB drivers installed and working.

For starters, this is the Epic Fail after flashing a ROM with CWM or Philz Recovery

What I found is that while on this screen you can still run adb commands. Eureka I thought! Here's the simplest way to recover your tablet from this vicious cycle. Again, you will need either need the Android SDK installed on your PC or you will need the adb executable with libs at minimum....

1. Download the Nakasi Nexus Factory Image of your choice from HERE

2. Plug your tablet into your computer while it's bootlooping. You will have to have the ADB drivers installed for this to work.

3. Open a command prompt on your PC and type in

adb reboot bootloader

and press Enter on your keyboard.

4. If you happened to catch it at the right moment, which is between the Google splash screen and the f*cked Recovery screen seen above, congrats! If not, keep pressing the Up Arrow and Enter keys simultaneously on your keyboard starting at the Google splash screen until it reboots into Fastboot mode :cool:

5. Extract the Nakasi factory image that you downloaded and run flash-all.bat and wait for the script to finish. It will reboot your tablet into Fastboot Mode a few times while it executes. When done, it will boot the tablet and it will be factory restored

Win!

I have been trying for some time now to get my phone to successfully update but it continues to fail. I currently have droid razr xt912 rooted. I just completed factory reset, hopefully backing everything up I needed to. As soon as I finished the initial setup in tried to update again and failed. maybe I should have waited till the phone is completely finished with everything before allowing it to try the update, once it is done I will try again. If it does not work what else can I do?

after completing setup and allowing everything to reload that was backed up, I unrooted using voodoo and tried again and once again I failed to update.

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toiel:
Hi!

I'm experiencing an annoying problem while updating my XOOM (MZ605) with the latest KitKat ROM.

I followed the instructions to repartition my device, and I tried using both Omnirom and Cyanogenmod roms, but I get the same error everytime.

In the step of wiping everything (but the SD card), I get a couple of messages saying that it was unable to mount cache to E: drive. TWRP recovery system says that the wipe process failed. Anyway, I went further in the steps, and I was able to flash the room and the gapps (it passes the BigPart partition check), but when I boot into system, my xoom stays stuck at the splash screen; it is not booting.

I tried both Omnirom and Cyanogenmod, and I get stuck in the same place. I thought I messed some part, so undone the BigPart, installed stock rom from motorola, and started over. But got the same problem.

I would liek to know if anyone know whats going on with the partiitoning, and if I can get rid of the mounting errors.

Thank you!
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gooniegoogoo2:
In your process of wiping...did you try to wipe just the cache by itself. When I got that error message i would go back to the main menu in recovery and just wipe the cache (or whatever giving me an error message) by itself.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ohDevious:
Same problem here

Same problem here... I can't properly do some of the advanced wipes in the process of trying to install omni.

I did as you suggested and tried wiping them individually but to no success.

I am definitely not as fluent in this stuff as a lot of you on here are, but I am competent/confident enough to follow good instructions.

Somebody help please!
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ramhuskies7:
Cant install KitKat Roms

I am having the same issue and have done the same thing. Tried installing both CM and OMNI with no success. the recovery is telling me the came thing that it cannot mount E:\ 'cache' and other files i need to wipe.

Some one please help.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ohDevious:
i was wondering...

i was wondering if the fact that i used to have a custom rom and then reverted back to stock (relocked the bootloader and unrooted successfully) last year before i attempted the omni install could be a factor?
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jacklad:
But it worked before

I'm getting the same "can't mount cache" error when converting to Big Part - I had previously been running several Big Part roms, and had no problem with the conversion at that time - I then reverted back to stock (using VZW OTA's) for awhile, but want to give the Big Part roms another shot - I've tried several methods of reverting to stock, then coming back to install a 10.1 ROM, which is successful, but when I flash the Big Part TWRP and try the conversion, I get the cache mount error every time - I can revert to the "normal" TWRP, reformat, and re-install non-big part roms without a problem - help us Obi Wan! WTF?
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lightnuup:
I was getting the same thing as you guys. Stuck on splash screen. What I did to fix mine was under TWRP go to wipe, did factory reset wipe, then data wipe. Then mine worked for me. Takes about 3-5 minutes to boot on 1st start after wiping. Hope this helps.

:confused:

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paddy60067:
A day not spent well

I am having the same issue all of you guys are having. I had 10.1 stingray (4.2.2) running well and thought it was time to try Kit Kat. Both the ROMs wind up the same way, a loooong running splash screen (over an hour before I manually rebooted). Over and over no mater how many ways I tried to wipe the XOOM I kept getting the Can't mount the cache message. I was able to revert back to 10.1 but I can't figure why others can make the install and we cannot. I have asked others on the forum but no one can answer the question?

Anyone? Thanks! Paddy
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] reficurg:
I was finally able to figure this out last night. I was looking at my cache and data formats and both were formatted as f2fs. I believe it's under wipe in the latest TWRP (2.7.1.0), there's an option on the left that shows you the format type of your drives. On non BigPart TWRP I changed the cache and data to ext4. Rebooted back into recovery, and followed the guide posted here to apply BigPart to my Xoom: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2506997 :: Then I was able to load Omni BigPart edition with no issues at all. I'd be happy to give more details if anyone wants. I'm in the office now, otherwise I'd post some snap shots. I'll update this when I get home.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] papashex:
has anyone recovered from the "unable to mount cache" error? I have followed all the information in this thread, checked out the relevant links all to no avail.

The only additional data I can provide is that when I go into the wipe menu (TWRP 2.7.1) / advanced / select cache / and "repair or change" I have all 0's for the cache size MBs. Repairing the cache or changing file system claims to be successful, but it's always 0 MBs. For grins I tried all of the above with TWRP 2.6.3 and had no better results.

Thanks in advance.

Install the game and you get an new app on your watch. Open it while you're playing the game and now you have a tilt controller on your wrist.

Works kinda Meh IMO. Maybe I need to get the hang of it, but the movements seem a tad laggy and umm digital, like not many variations of speed like stoped, slow, fast and faster. Awesome to see this type of support.

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Daniel_Lechu:
Hi friends,

I'm a music lover and I'm near to unlock my phone bootloader, then my question is about the best of this phone: Equalizer and Walkman APP.

Is there any rom (except stock based roms) where i can use the stock equalizer and walkman? I've tried other equalizers and don't have the same quality.

I can use Google Music too but uses a lot of batery in lastest versions, and don't fix the equalizer problem because uses the phone equalizer.

For example, if i want to use Paranoid 4.4.2, can i use the Sony equalizer and walkman app?.

Thanks!!
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] cmr_noob:
i don't think so ..... you can use viper4android . its a really good equalizer if you know how to use it
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Daniel_Lechu:
Thanks for reply, but don't like that equalizer because when you change a band all others are affected, then is too hard to get the same sound of Sony Equalizer (in about 3 day of changes i didn't got), and sometimes i've got random distortion of sound (too many times)...

It would be good to do a port. It's a shame that i don't know how to port apps.

Greetings!!

Sorry if i posted this when there's another thread out there with the same info but I searched and didn't find any. I'll be receiving my i777 in a week or two and I'd like to know if I flash a GT-i9100 kernel on the i777 what will happen. I heard that some of the capacitive touch buttons wont work but is that all. I'd like to test i9100 ROMs without using the Jeboo kernel but using the ones that came with the ROM. Please reply and tell me what's what.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] SteveMurphy:
You could run an i9100 rom with their kernel, but certain things wouldn't work properly - buttons being one of them as you mentioned. You'd also run into microphone issues, which is one of the reasons why our "portable" kernels are called Mic-Swap. Forget using their kernels anyway, nearly all of them are no longer supported and our AJK is better or just-as-good than any of theirs ever was, so why not use that one to port?

I would recommend you read up on porting before you actually flash any of their stuff, just so you know what to do/expect in the event of a bootloop or bad flash.

Good luck, and welcome to rom porting!

Does adb work on windows 8.1 ?? i think thats the problem i am facing flashing the in ruu mode , well it does work if i type adb devices and show some serial number but when i type the fasboot commands it just says waiting for devices !! Can you help me a bit about that brother? whats the matter behind this . Thanking you in advance :good::good::laugh:
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] dottat:
It's tricky. There are support threads for getting that part figured out. The one thing I can tell you is that Windows sees each mode of the phone as a separate driver instance. So if you got adb working you probably just need to boot the phone into fastboot mode and see what driver is installed in device manager and change if necessary.

Hi dottat,

I am unable to flash the RUU. I've downloaded it multiple times and checked the hash each time (always good). Whenever I try to flash it I get "error: cannot load 'filename.zip'" where "filename" is whatever I name it. I am able to flash the recovery RUU just fine. I even went back and flashed several of the old firmwares as well as an old RUU, just to make sure I wasn't doing something wrong. I am definitely in the correct directory when performing the commands and Windows is always set to show extensions, so I know there's know issue with it accidentally having an invalid filename. Can you please help? I'm at a complete loss here.

It will do that only if the file you are trying to send is in that same folder. Can't tell you why your pc freezes but the output will take a minute or two while it sends a 1+ gig file over.
