Starting with...
 https://tbpl.mozilla.org/?tree=Mozilla-Inbound&rev=06d72606ec56
...android has been perma-orange/red, with test runners all saying:
> Automation Error: No crash directory (/mnt/sdcard/tests/profile/minidumps/) found on remote device
...and with Talos runners all saying:
> talosError: 'failed to initialize browser'

I suspect infra issues, but I'm not sure. bz closed the tree, and I'm filing this bug to track the issue & any investigation.  (neither of us can actually dig into it further at the moment)

Looks strongly correlated to the landings from bug 681805. Backed out 06d72606ec56 and 47debf3f344c.
Depends on: 681805
09:29:40 - edmorley|pto: nthomas: btw the backout will likely fix inbound; that message effectively translates to "didn't find the minidumps directory: either means automation/device issue, or else startup crash so we never got to the part where toolkit(?) creates the minidumps directory"
09:29:57 - edmorley|pto: I'll file a bug to make the string more clear
09:30:01 - nthomas: ok, I was thinking the latter
09:31:01 - nthomas: thanks for the confirmation
09:31:08 - edmorley|pto: nthomas: the real error shows in the logcat (further down the log) REPORTING UNCAUGHT EXCEPTION FROM THREAD 1 ("main")
09:31:13 - edmorley|pto: java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to start activity ComponentInfo{org.mozilla.fennec/org.mozilla.fennec.App}: android.content.res.Resources$NotFoundException: Resource ID #0x7f0a0034
09:32:26 - edmorley|pto: I'll file a bug to get it added to the TBPL parser and/or see if we can get automation's checkForCrashes to check the logcat
tests are coming in green, inbound reopened.

I've filed bug 823452 to make the real failure mode clearer here.
Sorry the current situation led to the confusion! :-)
