This page is the source of the answer, but I'll copy it here just in case...

1st check with eseutil /mh if database is not in clean shutdown, if not just run with /p switch to get it in clean shutdown

Once it come to clean shutdown state, then Try moving the checkpoint and logs to a temporary location and mount database to see whether it works.

Get-MailboxServer | select MaximumActiveDatabases

If the value shows as 0, then you need to change that:

Get-MailboxServer | Set-MailboxServer -MaximumActiveDatabases 1

The other thing you can do is try restarting the Microsoft Exchange Information Store process. The error (hex) above shows a DB lock, but that could be either the bug from RTM (if you are unpatched) OR something else locking it. Try that and see if it works.
