Well known oracle bug. If flashback enabled and you delete logs manually then instance crashes. To able to start your database disable flashback.


startup mount;
alter database flashback off;
alter database flashback on;
alter database open;

Check the flash recovery area. I guess oracle can't find flash recovery area. Set it to proper location and then turn on flashback. For details see alert log.

By the way after turning off flashback try to open the database. If you want to make on flashback shutdown database and again try to turn off flashback.

By the way do you have any guaranteed restore point?

Check guaranteed restore point as I mentioned you in previous post.
Check Alert_log.

Drop guaranteed restore point.
Start up the database.

To check guaranteed restore point,
Quote:
select NAME,SCN,GUARANTEE_FLASHBACK_DATABASE,DATABASE_INCARNATION# from v$restore_point;


Then drop it and start your database.

Change your db_recovery_file_dest location to a valid and accessible location.
