Okay so last night I attempted to root my nook tablet 1.4.3 using this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2037368. I downloaded all the files that were pointed to in that thread, and followed the instructions. Everything went perfect and soon I was setting up my google account, then following the final steps which involved downloading rom manager, and goo manager. All was well, until I decided to reboot the tablet.
After I rebooted the initial loading seemed fine (got the "n" screen"), then cyanobootloader popped up, then the Team B presents XDA logo popped up and then nothing. The tablet stayed frozen on the Team B logo, and rebooting did nothing.
So being the idiot that I am, I tried going into recovery from the cyanobootloder. This took me to TWRP where my dumbass ended up going to advanced and Wiping the system. After that I tried installing Cm-7-Team-B-Beata1-signed.zip and gapps-gb-20110828-signed.zip from TWRP. The log gives several messages that read:
E: Unable to mount /system
E: Unable to mount /data
E: Unable to mount /cache
E: Unable to mount /emmc
E: Unable to mount /emmc
E: failed to mount /emmc (No such File or directory exist)
E: failed to mount /emmc (No such File or directory exist)
E: failed to mount /emmc (No such File or directory exist)
At this point I was freaking out, stopped using my head, and began trying desperately to go back to stock. I tried using this method http://raywaldo.com/2012/06/how-to-un-brick-a-nook-tablet-8gb-or-16gb/, but it didn't change anything.
I decided then to try redoing the rooting guide again to see if that could solve the problem. It did not.
So now the tablet boots into TWRP when I turn it on. I can also enter CWM-based Recovery using the SD card I made from the guide. However, when I enter CWM-based-recovery I get these messages at the bottom:
E: Can't Mount /cache/recovery/command
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
That's pretty much where I'm stuck on at the moment. I figured I should probably stop messing with this tablet before I made a bigger mess.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I'd suggest that you try flashing afresh a CM10 or CM10.1 build using SDcard based CWM recovery, using a method such as described at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2056626.
In case you're considering using one of the so-called "unbricking" tools, read this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=37515697&postcount=31 first before you pick the wrong tool that would permanently wipe out your NT's individual device specific data like WiFi MAC address, security certificate, serial number, etc.
Nook needs a /recovery folder in /cache partition like /cache/recovery.
Somehow that folder is missing
Is so easy to fix that you will laugh
dd zero the cache partition after you make sure cwm/twrp is not have it mounted check by reading mount /cache if it says unmount cache select it first.
Then format cache in cwm/twrp and that's it. Folder will be created by it self and that error print out will stop.
Here it is

Is my card reader chip on my s2 broken?
Go to Settings/Security/
Device Admins and see if there are any possible restrictions else try wiping cache and dalvik cache (just in case) !
oh i just read it again and i saw you posted EXTERNAL sdcard, haha i thought it was internal sdcard
well do what niku~ said. first go in security and see if there's smth and wipe cache/dalvik.
it happened to some people that flashed a theme to the Rom, and after flashing another theme, the bug disappeared...so if u flashed a theme, try it...
if it doesnt work, try reflashing Rom.
if it doesnt work too, i suggest you do a full wipe and flash another Rom.
this is probably a software issue

Hello, I have a Nabi sitting around and decide to get it out, update it and put it to use. My flashing skills are novice, I do a phone or tablet once in a blue moon and it it usually been with a AIO or relatively trouble free.
I have TWRP 2.3.3.0 and the Kernel is 1.9.3.7 from last year I install custom recovery
I attempted to install Monarch UI Removed/SuperSU & SU Binaries Installed including BusyBox 3.0.13( Fuhu/Nabi/Keenhi Stuff Removed ) - n3wt when that failed I attempted Stock Rom 3.0.13 via TWRP - aicjofs
I did a full Wipe, attempted to install with TWRP and ADB sideload.
The ADB sideload reaches 100% on PC and is marked failed on the Tablet in TWRP sideload UI.
Installing in TWRP I get the following errors in the Terminal
Code:
Updating Partitions details...
E:/Unable to mount '/data'
E:/Unable to mount '/data'
E:/Unable to mount '/system'
E:/Unable to mount '/cache'
E:/Unable to mount '/data'
E:/Unable to mount '/addon'
I also tried installing Stock Version 1.9.37 with similar results.
In the mount menu I can't selec "Using internal storage" or any of the mount options.
Also all wiping options for cash and system fail.
Next I re-installed TWRP 2.3.3.0 through fastboot to make sure everything was clean and it appeared to all take, and I still get the same results trying to flash.
So I am at a loss as what to try next and would appreciate any help.
While posted I've been trying NabiLab here is the error I received on a stock recovery.

Wrong TWRP version is my guess. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=62391871&postcount=2635 There are the 3 versions you need to try.
Thanks, got it fixed.
It was the wrong TWRP. Then I wasn't seeing any recovery files. ADB was giving me an odd generic serial number, I did a back up and then dumped the files in the TWRP created folder and they appeared.

Thanks for the reply.
I tried all 3 versions of TWRP in your post . TWRPv263 for ICS Nothing (cache,data,system, extsdcard etc) will mount. TWRPv285 for JB&KK Everything but /system will mount.
Using all 3 versions of TWRP I tried to install 3013stock.zip and 3013bootloader. No files from the extracted zip show up in TWRP recovery tab.
So I assume the issue I am aiming at is getting /system to mount in either KK or JB version of TWRP. v285?

Hi Guys,
I'm pretty new here and hoping you can all help me with unbricking my phone.
So I have a Samsung S3 I9300, with CM 13.0 installed, I am using CW recovery v2.7.0.0
I've installed many custom ROMS to this device over the past few years without a problem, each time formatting and wiping Dalvik cache etc..
Today my phone randomly rebooted and a message came up that my phone failed to encrypt and it wiped all my data and that I had to reboot into recovery to perform a factory reset.
A bit random I thought.. So I rebooted into recovery and did a "reset to default" in CW.. this was successful, however I noticed some issues on the terminal screen...
Code:
E: Unable to find partition size for /boot
E: Unable to find partition size for /recovery
E: Primary block device /dev/block/mmcblk0p12 for mount point is not present!
E: Unable to mount internal storage
E: Unable to mount /data/media during GUI startup
E: Unable to mount /cache
Full SELinux support is present
E: Unable to mount /cache
E: Unable to mount /cache
E: Unable to mount /data/media/TWRP/.twrps when trying to read settings file
E: Unable to mount /data
Updating Partition details...
E: Unable to mount /efs
E: Unable to mount /data
E: Unable to mount /data
E: Unable to mount /cache
E: Unable to mount /system
E: Unable to mount /data
E: Unable to mount /preload
E: Unable to mount internal storage
I've tried to format but it shows failed.
I cannot install another ROM as both the internal memory and SD card both show 0MB
I've plugged the SD card into my computer and there are still files on the card.
I've had a look online and found that typing in a command into the terminal should fix it, however nothing happens..
I get an error that mmcblk0p12 does not exist.
Code:
mke2fs /dev/block/mmcblk0p12
Any help would be great! Although i'm pretty sure it's bricked
Cheers Guys!
Chris

Did you have any success with this, Chris?
This sounds like what happened to my I9300 on CM12.1. It just froze and only rebooted to Samsung logo and stayed there.
When in TWRP recovery, there's just no access to internal memory or SD card.
The terminal mentions a lot of "E: unable to mount /data", /cache, /system, storage, etc
Most TWRP options fail to do anything, because of not being able to access partitions.
No factory reset, no wipes, no installing img's. When rebooting to system, it warns about no OS being installed.
Downloading a stock firmware now to see if it flashes via ODIN, but I don't have high hopes for it.
Does anybody know what would cause this? Or is it just bricked now?

Ah well, mine seems dead too. The recovery doesn't work anymore, only download mode, but ODIN can't get anything on it...
I think the main storage just died.

Damn, I dunno what happened.. My CM was a nightly though, SO I can only assume it was unstable.
Just bizarre how my phone rebooted and gave the message that it was unable to encrypt the device and needed to be factory reset.

I was running a quite stable CM12.1 version for a couple of months now. Only had two reboots all this time.

I had a few reboots when it was working, then it just suddenly bricked my phone
Sounds like the eMMC brickbug. You need to get the eMMC replaced. All of you that face the problems.
Well, after four years my S3 was getting very slow. It was bearable with CM, but I decided to say farewell now.
Also, my microphone was busted when I dropped it at some point, so I could only call with a headset anyway.
It's not worth replacing I think, time to move on
The same happened to my Beelink GT1 S912 9377 TV-box (after failed OTA update). Will check eMMC brickbug (from TWRP) ...
So i installed a faulty recovery resulting in the touch screen being fully broken and unusable. Nothing worked. So i then wiped my /system/ using fastboot erase system, which got my touch working again and i could navigate in the recovery as usual. But my internal storage shows 0 megabytes and i am unable to flash a rom with adb sideload because i get this "error mount: Failed to mount /dev/block/bootdevice/byname/system at /system: Invalid argument Failed to unmount /system: No such volume script aborted (no error message.)" i am using Redwolf recovery on Xiaomi Redmi 5 plus (Vince) and trying to flash Pixel Experience rom.
