Hello all,
i have been around on the site for a while reading, learning, and rooting my DInc. I have SkyRaider 3.5 w/ stock kernal. Currently running CWM 2.5.0.5. I was going to dip into the realm of setting CPU settings for different functions. I DLed SetCPU from the market and installed. i figured this would be a good time to do a backup through CWM in case i eff something up. after the backup completed, i selected the "reboot system now"
Upon rebooting, it loaded into my lock screen with the stock background and clock, not the ones i had before the backup process. when i did the slide unlock, it would just go to an all white screen with the htc green logo in the middle, and all my buttons but the power button were useless. strange i thought.....so i pulled the battery and proceeded into the CWM again to restore to a previous backup. got into CWM just fine, but now i had 5 message lines at the bottom of the CWM screen:
E:Cant mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p2
(file exists)
E:Cant mount CACHE:recovery/command
E:Cant mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p2
(File exists)
E:Cant mount CACHE:recovery/log
E:Cant mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p2
(File exists)
Then, i go into the backup and restore option, and select restore, it kicks me back to the main menu with 5 more messages:
E:Cant mount /dev/block/mmcblk1p1 (or /dev/bloc
k/mmcblk1)
(No such file or directory)
E:Cant mount /sdcard
E:Cant mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p2
(File exists)
E:Cant mount CACHE:recovery/log
E:Cant mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p2
(File exists)
I've tried doing a wipe data/factory reset, and it gives me a bunch of mounting errors and basically skips all format, then kicks me back to main menu in less than 3 seconds.
I've done a fair amount of research for this and can't find anything related to the DInc for this issue. Seen it on a few other devices (earlier droids) but not sure how much that info pertains to this device.
unfortunately i do not have a micro-sd card reader on my computer, so i have not tried re-flashing my ROM since i do not have a ROM on my SD card, not sure if it would be of any use since it sounds like my SD card is not mounting properly.
I will probably go out and buy a universal card reader (should come in handy) as well as a second SD card in case it happens to be the SD card that crapped out.
I figured I'd get this up here anyways to see if anyone can help.
Thanks so much for any advise or fixes you may be able to offer!

update
well, i managed to do a couple hboot updates and basically return my phone to the way it was when i got it from the store. i have no idea what caused it, but the original sd card still works, albeit reformatted, and the phone is functioning perfectly so far. I'm still curious to see if anyone had any ideas about what happened. sorry i can be of service to troubleshoot since i fixed it (the long way). my phone is too vital and i have travel coming up.
Thanks,
Trey
When I tethered my incredible to my pc I would get errors. I've had to actually run defrag on my sd card. I actually have several Micro sd readers but I was lazy and did this after tethering to my pc. Seems to have fixed the problem
So, I decided to try to go back to root last night, with the help of Preludedrew. rooted using unrevoked3 and updated to CWM 3. when it was all finished, it left me in CWM recovery and i had new E: errors:
E:Can't mount /dev/recovery/log
E:Can't open /dev/recovery/log
E:Can't mount /dev/recovery/last log ?
E:Can't open /dev/recovery/last log
when i would try to mount cache or sdcard, it would still fail, and when trying to load zip from sdcard, it would error in trying to mount sdcard.
with some more help from drew, we tried using adb shell to mount/access some partitions, and the mmcblk0p2 (i think) could not be found on the device.
thankfully the phone still booted this time, but i went into the phone settings under SD & storage...and the sdcard was there showing my 15GB of total/available space.
But....under the internal phone storage section, it said "unavailable" for both total space and available space.
so the only thing we could somewhat deduce, is that the internal phone memory has crapped out, thus when i RUU'd (?) back to stock, it could not find my phone internal storage so it just reassigned my sdcard to the 0p1 block, and where the sdcard should be in the 0p2 block there is nothing. Hence why cwm cant find anything related to my sdcard since its looking in the 0p2 block.
so now that i'm back to stock, i'll take it to the verizon store today and see what they'll do about it since the internal memory seems to be crap. i have insurance, so i dont think it will be a problem getting a new phone, unless they want to try to replace the internal memory, which is fine with me.
unless anyone has any other ideas?
sorry for the noobish verbage, i'm trying to remember what i all did at 1230 last night.
Thanks,
sorry for the quick reply, but i just had the idea to try mounting my device as disk storage, since it should come up as 2 drives (internal phone and sdcard) on my computer
both drives show up under my computer, sdcard access is fine, but when i try to access the other drive, i get "please insert a disk into drive G:"
and when i switch back to charge only, it will only say "preparing sd storage" and doesnt do "preparing phone storage" like i thought i remember it doing when it was still good.
I guess just another reaffirmation that the storage space is crap.
Hello friends, i hope you can help me because i ****ed up real bad today... I was in cwm recovery, and press some button that said something like "format for rom" or something like that... Now i dont have any SO installed, no rom on my phone, and it says i have 0mb avalaible. So i flashed the TWRP recovery because im more familiar with it, i have tried sideload but get this error con the cmd window after it gets to 100% * failed to write data 'protocol fault (no status)' *
On the phone i have: E: No valid storage partitions.
Any help please? Already tried adb push rom.zip /data or /sdcard but since i have 0mb for storage on my phone i think any of that will work. I can flash recoverys, but cant move any rom to my phone to flash Help please
Ok it seems that i was able to push the rom.zip to my /system but when i try to flash it, it says:
E: Unable to mount /data
E: Unable to find storage partition to mount to usb

What carrier are you on?
How does that matter? The phone was originally at&t. I need to format my storage or my /data or something to be able to install the rom
Hi, i didn't use my m8 for a while. I had flashed a Liquid-Smooth Lollipop-Rom and wanted to setup the phone again until i noticed that the external SD card is not mounted and not recognized at all.
SD card itself is not the issue, i tried it on different phones and computers, it worked all fine, formatted it in FAT32 etc.. It's working on any other system, but not with the m8. Also other cards are not working with the phone.
I tried PhilzRecorvery and TWRP and the Cyanogenmod 12+13 (using adb sideload), no changes at all.
My Phone is S-ON, at the moment i use TWRP v2.8.7.0 and Cyanogenmod 12.1.
Using the partitioning function of TWRP it says
E: Unable to locate device or partition

Click to collapse
If i go to the Wipe menue and select "Micro SDcard" and "SD-Ext" it says:
E: mkdosf process emded with ERROR=1
E: Unable to wipe ' /external_sd' .
E: Unknown MTP message type: 1
E: Unable to wipe 'external_sd'

I hope these are all the necessary infomations. I am not very experienced in modding android, but at least i know how to flash roms and the basic sdk-plattform tools, whatever.
Thank you very much and please be kind, i am not an expert!
Please help i was following this https://forum.xda-developers.com/vibe-p1/help/vibe-p1-stuck-lenovo-logo-t3554264 and now i have no internal storage partition
I was stuck at Starchms post in step 4 "format the FULL phone to ext4 format"
Right now the phone is stuck on the lenovo start screen but I can only go into TWRP.
When i connect into the computer and open "This PC/My Computer" I get a file "6039X" But when I open that it is empty.
I bought a micro SD card and I can mount that but i cant install a ROM from it. This shows up:
"Failed to mount '/system' (invalid argument)"
"Failed to mount '/data' (invalid argument)"
:'( Help I just wanted a non laggy vibe p1 not a brick :'(
FIXEDDDD
I JUST FIXED IT MYSELF
It was simple I was being a newb hehe
Had to go to twrp and advanced wipe selecting all, then flashed my ROM zip.
Thnx XDA
Hi,
I tried to flash viperOS using squid twrp for moto G5S, but something in the process i think i did wrong.
My phone model is montana xt1790.
I unlocked the bootloader.
I tried to install the recovery, but had same problem than @dau999

I tried to flash "no-verity-opt-encrypt-5.1.zip" file posted as solution here https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=74813124&postcount=23.
After this i have working the recovery, but i believe this is what did wrong:
With debug mode enabled, after a wipe clean (Cache, Data, Dalvik/ART and system) and format data (wipe all your apps, backups, pictures, videos, media and removes encryption on internal storage) got this errors:
Code:
Could not mount /data and unable to find crypto folder.
Failed to mount '/data' (Invalid argument)
Unable to recreate /data/media folder.
Unable to mount storage.
Unable to mount /data/media/TWRP/.twrps
Failed to mount '/data' (Invalid argument)
After this errors i flashed ViperOS, but after first boot it, first thing viper OS ask me was the phone password, after i enter it, the phone show up a message saying that password is ok but data is corrupt, restarting and trying to fix my phone without success (same errors like failed to mount /data)
Also i tried to use the "repair or change file system" selecting Data partition, twrp show me this: http://oi65.tinypic.com/2prin8y.jpg, also i got this errors:
Code:
/sbin/fsck.f2fs /dev/block/mmcblk0p54 process ended with ERROR: 255
Unable to repair Data
What should i do?, i don't know is related with an encryption on data partition, or if this can be solve.
EDIT:
Found the solution in reddit: www.reddit.com/r/AndroidQuestions/comments/7w5c75/used_the_format_data_option_in_twrp_recovery_on/
Just fixed the issue after making a second format in TWRP ( WIPE > FORMAT DATA)
