I've spent the last day and a half fighting with my device to get the espresso dump to boot on my Radio 6.35 32A phone. I finally fixed all the crashes to find that the SD card isn't mounting properly because it keeps telling me that my sd card is missing. I know that my SD works fine because it mounts properly in recovery and every other rom. If anyone can point me to the files that are used to mount the SD card that would be a great help
*Update* i can manually mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 to /sdcard and adb into it but it still is not read by the rest of the rom

Have you partitioned your sd? Becouse I solved that problem on Cursorsense removing partitions on my sd card. Bye.
Try this from command line, boot into fastboot and type:
Code:
fastboot oem enableqxdm 0
Thanks for your responses guys... i'm trying the fastboot method now and no my sd card was not partitioned.
ok so the fastboot oem command didn't work but just curious what did it do?
edited vold.conf.. works now

It's the QXDM logging feature which automatically disables the SD card outside of fastboot.
Moderator Notes: I was asked to sticky this thread as it seems to be a recurring issue and a couple of fixes are in the posts.
Sorry my bad english am latin.
Hi guys first thread here and i need your help. Here s the thing, i was using my tf700, browsering, and the tablet goes off, i tried start up and a bootloop appears. So i go to Recovery (latest TWRP) and i tried to flash a ROM (latest crombi kk), like always i tried to wipe cache and dav bfore flash it but that proces seems to fail, and a couple of messages like unable to mount /data unable to mount /system appears, first time happening, i never had troubles with the tablet. So i tried to get fastboot mode and run the fastboot erase cach command (i read in a forum dat some guy did that and work for him), so i download the adb fastboot files, i connect the tf700 to my laptop (windows 7 64bit) and a installing drivers message and i wait and the driver that is called Transformer did not install, i dont know where to get those drivers, i found a file Asus usb drivers and bla bla but when i unzip the file i get 3 folders and no .exe or installer. So i tried to continue and i enter fastboot mode in the tablet and connect usb tablet-pc, and now another driver installing message appears, now is a driver called Fastboot, so i wait anda again the driver did not install correctly. So i continue and open cmd and tried the comman for erase cache, and only appears the WAITING FOR DEVICE text. i donw know waht to do, i also tried flashing again a ROM, bt only bootloop, trie again to wipe cache and dav but is only unable to mount /data. Any ideas ????

More likely your data partition got corrupted.
Try wiping it or formatting /data in TWRP to see if that helps? You will lose everything if you don't have backups.

i already tried that, wiping (cache, dav, system, ata, factoty reset) anything gives the unable to mount /data error.

You'll need to manually format it using the terminal in TWRP
Make sure data is umounted then run this command. Make sure you have charged it as well or leave it plugged in.
It can take a number of hours to complete.
Code:
mke2fs -T ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p8

You are welcome!
EDIT - somehow the format finally took.. after 5 or 6 reboots.. very strange
okay, i hate to bump this thread. but i have been searching for a few nights and i cannot find a solution. i am having the same problem as OP.
Essentially, my tablet was interrupted mid format. I believe my data partition is corrupted. I can access recovery/fastboot and the tablet accepts commands from my PC. i have TWRP 2.7.1.1 on the tablet right now.
i tried what sdbags said:

this did not work. i got the same "mke2fs 1.41.14 (22-dec-2010)" output, and then the tablet rebooted back into TWRP over again. (data was not mounted, i cannot mount it at all)
some more output from my tablets TWRP console:
Code:
e:could not mount/data and unable to find crypto footer.
e:unable to mount '/data'
e:unable to recreate /data/media folder/
updating partition details...
e:unable to mount '/data'
e:unable to mount internal storage.
e:unable to mount /data/media during gui startup
full selinux support is present.
e:unable to mount /data/,edia/twrp/.twrps when trying to read settings file.
e:unable to mount '/data'
is there another way to fix my corrupted partition?

and there is also button "KILL" when I hit enter it prompt : /dev/block/mmcblk0p8 is appereatly in use by the system: Will not make a file system here!
Any advice? (sry for being this big noob!)
Code:
adb shell
killall -19 recovery

Probably a Bad Idea - you should unmount /data before formatting. Then it should also not hurt to keep the recovery running.
Unbrick my TF 700t
Accidentally, bricking my tablet
I try Advance and Terminal Command with TRWP at tablet, it did not work
but when I try with command from PC (desktop), it works like a charm. I was able to see internal storage
from that just re install Custom ROM. Thank alot to sdbag

1) i dont know how to unmount data .
2) when i click advanced then terminal command it opens- Browse to starting folder and gives the file manager kind of view.
3) so i tried using adb on computer
the first three command work(i think but the third gives this error not enough space) .
please suggest a solution. thank you in advance
device moto g xt1033
i tried downgrading from lollipop 5.0 brasilian to kitkat but it wont go past warning bootloader unlocked screen. when i flash cm from twrp, it gives 3 errors
E:/ unable to mount '/data'
E:/ unable to mount '/cache'
E:/ unable to mount internal storage
then when i start it just keeps on loading on cm logo
should i create a separate thread for all this?

i am really sorry if the earlier comment came out as rude.
actually i did all of those steps, using the command terminal, using adb from pc but none of them worked, all of them had some problem
I previously ran LolliGPE but was long overdue for an update. I downloaded the latest version and copied the image to my phone and flashed the ROM. I decided to go try a dirty install first to see if I could keep everything I had, since I had already been running a previous version and after reviewing the changelog did not see anything recommending to wipe clean. After installing successfully, Android asked me to enter my password to decrypt my data (I don't recall ever encrypting my data?), and so I did. It then told me that my password was right, but the data was corrupt, and presented me a button to reset my phone. The button redirected me to recovery and automatically attempted to wipe /data and then re-mount it, but the wipe failed. I rebooted again with the same issue, same failed attempt to wipe. I went to install the zip again, and this time do a full wipe, but it was unable to mount my phone's storage nor my SD card. I am not able to mount either at all now.
What's the best course of action? I'd like to retain as much as I can and avoid wiping all of the internal storage clean. Is there a simpler fix to this or am I doomed?

EDIT: For anyone else having a problem like this that at least wants to get their data back, here's what you should do (I assume you know how to work with Linux!):
Make sure you have the latest version of TWRP and ADB.
Boot the phone into recovery mode and connect the phone to your computer via USB
Run "ls -al /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name" and check the output. Make a note of the partition marked "userdata" - for me, it was /dev/block/mmcblk0p48.
Either: simply use adb pull to copy this file to your computer (this will require about 26 gigs of space), or attempt to mount the file. To use adb pull, execute "adb pull /dev/block/<ID> ./data" (ID being what you marked down). Your data partition will be copied to /data. To mount, use "mount -t ext4 /dev/block/<ID> /userdata". Whatever's left of your data will be on your phone's new /userdata folder.
Use ADB to pull what files you want from /userdata. If you pulled the partition, skip this step.
If you copied the files you wanted over, you're done. If you pulled the entire partition, you're going to want to try and mount it. On Windows, there are various tools to mount Linux partitions, a quick Google will find some good ones. However, if the data is corrupt, it will not work. I recommend attempting to repair the partition on linux, with the command "e2fsck -f -y /path/to/data", replacing the path to your data file as necessary. Once done, run "mount -t ext4 /path/to/data /mnt/data", replacing the paths as necessary.
Once mounted, you can access your data wherever it was mounted. If e2fsck appeared to fix many errors, chances are most of your data will be in the lost+found folder, and you'll need to sort through this yourself. If you're lucky, then your data will be intact and readily usable. Internal SD card data is located at ./media/0.
To fix the partitions and get Android back up and running, you need to install the latest firmware, format your data in TWRP, factory reset, and then flash a ROM again. Here's what I did to do that, without an SD card. If you have an SD card, simply copy your ROM zip to the SD card and skip the final steps:
Make sure you have the latest version of TWRP and ADB, and download the latest copy of the firmware (check the development forum here).
Boot the phone (doesn't matter to what) and run adb reboot bootloader. When your phone reboots, double-check by running fastboot reboot-bootloader.
Put your phone in RUU mode with fastboot oem rebootRUU. The phone will restart and the HTC logo will come up.
Wait a couple seconds, then run fastboot flash zip firmware.zip, where firmware.zip is the firmware you want to flash.
The first time you do this, it will fail saying something like "FAILED (remote: 90 hboot pre-update! please flush image again immediately)". Ignore this, run the last command again: fastboot flash zip firmware.zip
The progress bar will appear and begin filling. Wait until fastboot is finished flashig it (the progress bar may not fill completely), wait an extra 5 seconds or so, and then do fastboot reboot.
The phone will reboot. Android will still be messed up, but you can verify the partitions are in working order by checking adb shell cat /proc/emmc.
Once you know the partitions are working, get back into TWRP/recovery: adb reboot recovery
Format /data and wipe /cache, /data, dalvik/art cache, etc (factory reset). You will lose the contents of your internal storage and everything else.
If you don't have the ROM zip on an sd card, make sure the zip is in the same directory as adb and run adb push rom.zip /sdcard/rom.zip, where rom.zip is the ROM. You can also copy it to the external sd by swapping /sdcard/rom.zip with /external_storage/rom.zip.
Once copied, reboot into recovery and flash the zip. Back to normal!
Update:
It's a firmware problem. Apparently there was a new firmware update that the ROM uses that I don't have. mmcblk0p42 was changed to "vzw_logger" (which I don't have), making mmcblk0p49 userdata instead of previously mmcblk0p48. The data partition it expects to be /data is /cache. Got this information by comparing 'cat /proc/emmc' with information of the latest version I found here.
Is there a way to fix this that allows me to preserve the contents of my internal storage (/sdcard)? Can I just flash an older version of the ROM to backup my data?

I posted a warning about this change in the general section early on. For you to have the partition changes means you are on the newer firmware which doesn't match what you posted above for os. You very likely at this point have nothing left to salvage. Are you on the latest twrp?

I am on the latest TWRP, yes. Since this post, I've actually been making good progress in getting the data partition back, or so I think. I've been using dd to copy /dev/block/mntblk0p48 to an image file, but got stuck when I reached the FAT32 limit, so I re-formatted my SD card, except now it's read-only.

If you Dd the entire data partition it's gonna be almost 25 gigs. If you can't mount data in twrp and find anything usable when browsing via adb in twrp there's probably not anything usable in there.

I did a DD before while in ADB and it only got to about 1.3 gigs, but after running the image through e2fsck I actually found some images and downloads. I think there's usable stuff in there and I'd like to at least try to get it. There's family pictures and stuff on there that have some value to me. My SD card is 32 gigs so I could probably do it if anything for the hell of it.
Do you happen to know how I can get the SD card mounted? mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mmcblk1p1 [some dir] is what I've been trying, but I've been getting either Read only filesystem or Invalid argument.
I might be a little crazy

TWRP lists the internal SD card as being size 0 under Mount -> Select Storage and /sdcard is empty. I re-formatted my external SD card to make a full size image but that's what wasn't mounting.

I would say update firmware. Since you confirmed blk48 as user data I know you don't have lollipop firmware.
I posted a firmware zip that contains the newest twrp which is compatible with lollipop in tigerstowns firmware thread. You can use that to update.
Then wipe and reinstall whatever Rom you want to use.
I fixed it this morning by updating firmware and will update the OP with the rest of the steps for the Googlers. Thanks again.

I have a laptop running Ubuntu: where do I run the "ls -al /dev/block..." command? As in what folder do I need to be in? The phone only appears in an mtp capacity...
EDIT: I figured that out but now I am stuck at "adb pull /dev/block/<ID> ./data". My ID was mmcblk0p28 but the command returns "Bash: mmcblk0p28: no such file or directory exists"
EDIT 2: Got that command to work but the file is too large to write (My disk is FAT32 ). So I then tried the mount command but again got "no such file or directory exists".
Same Issue "Decryption Unsuccessful"
I was trying to apply the OTA update for 5.1 on my M8 converted to GPE 5.01, but had to update to the stock recovery, and found myself in the same situation with the "Decryption Unsuccessful" message.
Following Klayderpus' steps to recover, but I'm running into a few issues:
1) Windows not Ubuntu so some (many) of the commands do not apply.
2) The device is not responding to adb, although it was prior to the "upgrade". Fastboot is working.
3) TWRP was not on the device, in fact I never could get to the recovery after trying to install the stock recovery when I converted to GPE 5.01 many months ago
I have a fresh nandroid backup, so I am just trying to get the device running. Being without the phone is causing me great pain....
I upgraded the firmware to 4.16 and did the factory reset from the stock 4.16 recovery. The phone boots back to the "Decryption Unsuccessful" message.
I am not sure, but I think the next step for me to try is to install the GPE ROM from graffixnyc from the microSD card (need to find/buy that little SD adaptor)
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
========================
Update;
Recovery does not see the SD card , so I won't be able to install from there.
I'll try flashing TWRP recover to see if that will show the contents of the external card
========================
Update 2:
TWRP does see the external card, but the install failed as it is unable to mount /data and /storage.
I'm out of ideas....HELP!!
========================
Update 3
I noticed the "factory reset" in HBOOT and thought I'd try that instead of the "Wipe" in TWRP, but only made things worse.
Now the phone comes up to the "Decryption Unsuccessful" where I can then take the reset to get it into TWRP recover
TWRP comes up directly into a screen where it's "Running OpenRecovery Script" and then reboots.
I'm going to quit now, as I am only making matters worse.....
========================
Update 4
I got TWRP to quit whatever it was doing.
Now, In TWRP > Wipe > Advanced Wipe, I cannot wipe or repair the Data partition. I see a message "Could not mount /data unable to find crypto footer". Trying to wipe the Davlik Cache fails, "Unable to mount /data, " Unable to mount storage".
========================

version-main: 4.16.401.10
modelid: 0P6B12000
cidnum: 11111111
========================
I've bricked the phone and it looks permanent.
I found another thread where everyone was solving this issue running this command "mke2fs -T ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p8" in TWRP. I failed to notice that it was not an M8 device thread. The phone won't boot at all, and windows sees it as a usb drive.

Do you still have fastboot?
Check out the RUU collection here and grab what apllies to your device:

Make sure you use the HTC fastboot.exe from post 3

If you have fastboot do the following commands
Fastboot oem task 28
Fastboot oem task 29
Then try to flash your rom or ruu.

No Fastboot, nothing. Device was charged, but now acts as if the battery is dead. the Power button does nothing even after a long press.
Bad day...

I previously ran LolliGPE but was long overdue for an update. I downloaded the latest version and copied the image to my phone and flashed the ROM. I decided to go try a dirty install first to see if I could keep everything I had, since I had already been running a previous version and after reviewing the changelog did not see anything recommending to wipe clean. After installing successfully, Android asked me to enter my password to decrypt my data (I don't recall ever encrypting my data?), and so I did. It then told me that my password was right, but the data was corrupt, and presented me a button to reset my phone. The button redirected me to recovery and automatically attempted to wipe /data and then re-mount it, but the wipe failed. I rebooted again with the same issue, same failed attempt to wipe. I went to install the zip again, and this time do a full wipe, but it was unable to mount my phone's storage nor my SD card. I am not able to mount either at all now.
What's the best course of action? I'd like to retain as much as I can and avoid wiping all of the internal storage clean. Is there a simpler fix to this or am I doomed?

EDIT: For anyone else having a problem like this that at least wants to get their data back, here's what you should do (I assume you know how to work with Linux!):
Make sure you have the latest version of TWRP and ADB.
Boot the phone into recovery mode and connect the phone to your computer via USB
Run "ls -al /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name" and check the output. Make a note of the partition marked "userdata" - for me, it was /dev/block/mmcblk0p48.
Either: simply use adb pull to copy this file to your computer (this will require about 26 gigs of space), or attempt to mount the file. To use adb pull, execute "adb pull /dev/block/<ID> ./data" (ID being what you marked down). Your data partition will be copied to /data. To mount, use "mount -t ext4 /dev/block/<ID> /userdata". Whatever's left of your data will be on your phone's new /userdata folder.
Use ADB to pull what files you want from /userdata. If you pulled the partition, skip this step.
If you copied the files you wanted over, you're done. If you pulled the entire partition, you're going to want to try and mount it. On Windows, there are various tools to mount Linux partitions, a quick Google will find some good ones. However, if the data is corrupt, it will not work. I recommend attempting to repair the partition on linux, with the command "e2fsck -f -y /path/to/data", replacing the path to your data file as necessary. Once done, run "mount -t ext4 /path/to/data /mnt/data", replacing the paths as necessary.
Once mounted, you can access your data wherever it was mounted. If e2fsck appeared to fix many errors, chances are most of your data will be in the lost+found folder, and you'll need to sort through this yourself. If you're lucky, then your data will be intact and readily usable. Internal SD card data is located at ./media/0.
To fix the partitions and get Android back up and running, you need to install the latest firmware, format your data in TWRP, factory reset, and then flash a ROM again. Here's what I did to do that, without an SD card. If you have an SD card, simply copy your ROM zip to the SD card and skip the final steps:
Make sure you have the latest version of TWRP and ADB, and download the latest copy of the firmware (check the development forum here).
Boot the phone (doesn't matter to what) and run adb reboot bootloader. When your phone reboots, double-check by running fastboot reboot-bootloader.
Put your phone in RUU mode with fastboot oem rebootRUU. The phone will restart and the HTC logo will come up.
Wait a couple seconds, then run fastboot flash zip firmware.zip, where firmware.zip is the firmware you want to flash.
The first time you do this, it will fail saying something like "FAILED (remote: 90 hboot pre-update! please flush image again immediately)". Ignore this, run the last command again: fastboot flash zip firmware.zip
The progress bar will appear and begin filling. Wait until fastboot is finished flashig it (the progress bar may not fill completely), wait an extra 5 seconds or so, and then do fastboot reboot.
The phone will reboot. Android will still be messed up, but you can verify the partitions are in working order by checking adb shell cat /proc/emmc.
Once you know the partitions are working, get back into TWRP/recovery: adb reboot recovery
Format /data and wipe /cache, /data, dalvik/art cache, etc (factory reset). You will lose the contents of your internal storage and everything else.
If you don't have the ROM zip on an sd card, make sure the zip is in the same directory as adb and run adb push rom.zip /sdcard/rom.zip, where rom.zip is the ROM. You can also copy it to the external sd by swapping /sdcard/rom.zip with /external_storage/rom.zip.
Once copied, reboot into recovery and flash the zip. Back to normal!

Hey
I have a HTC one m7 verizon & same problem storage decryption failed. See my case here in below post. And please tell me if anything possible. Please......

I woke up to find my 1st Generation Moto G battery was depleted and on charging it a bit., I switched it on only to find it optimizing my apps. All these (battery getting depleted, app optimization) happen all the time and I wasn't the least worried.
I picked up my phone later thinking it must have been done with the app optimization only to discover it was totally dead while still connected to a power bank. When I try to switch it on, it is stuck on the "Unlock Bootloader" page. I have tried flashing a new stock rom and it does not work.
I attached the image I see when I try to use recovery to wipe. Basically, nothing works. Can anybody help as I just fixed the screen and also out of warranty?

Thanks lost101, I do know how to flash perfectly well with fastboot. The problem is it flashes successfully but the phone is still stuck on the Bootloader.
I get this particular message on my recovery when I try to wipe either userdata or cache.

and

Read again what I told you to do. I did not say for you to flash anything.
@lost101, I just read your instructions again. I can boot in to TWRP. What else should I do after?
Thanks.

Via PC, do the following wipe: (requires working ADB setup)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=65431978&postcount=22
You could then TWRP > Wipe > Format Data > Yes, and try flashing a custom ROM.
Edit: You should backup photos or important data before hand.

Recovery mode ADB will work with Linux - unsure about Windows. You could boot into an Ubuntu LiveCD (without installing) and transfer the ROM to phone that way. Otherwise, an OTG usb pen would be another option.
adb push rom.zip /sdcard
@lost101, I tried to send the Rom via ADB and I got : failed to copy 'Rom.zip' to '/sdcard//Rom.zip' : Read-only file system.
Also, TWRP made my phone to load as MTP on my PC but I could not transfer through that method also. The transfer kept on failing. Seems my internal memory (eMMC) is now Read-only.

A certain percentage of phones end up with corrupt emmc (internal storage) over time. This problem is a fairly common thing. I do recall someone managing to boot an use CM13, despite the read-only userdata. I'm guessing they must have flashed it via TWRP, with the ROM.zip on an OTG usb pen. It may have worked because /system was still partially / fully writeable.
Hello!
Recently I recevied "Encryption Unseccesful" message on my phone. I tried to restore backup, but twrp says: "failed to mount /data". So, internal storage is dead. Found this. But cant find "repartition" menu in the cwm.
Questions is:
1. Do I need older versions of cwm to repartition sdcard? (If you have one, please share )
2. Is there any ways of recovering phone?
Thanks in advance!

tried this, but I think internal storage is corrupted. Is there a way to use sdcard as internal storage?
you can use sd card for apps and other stuff, but as I knoe cannot be used for system files
I made 2 partitions on sd:
4gb fat32
4gb ext4
But I cant bind /data to this ext4 partition. Can you help, please?
What i did:
With TWRP's terminal:
Code:
mount -t ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk1p2 /data
- Invalid argument (dunno why)
Code:
ln -s /dev/block/mmcblk1p2 /data
- but on phone boot i receive same "encryption unsuccesful" screen.
Edited /etc/fstab - same result.
Files and mount after reboot turn back to its previous condition.
Also installed stock ROM - same message screen.
[/QUOTE]
I got advice that i must do this things with init.d scripts. How can I do this? Already tried "xda's app2sd scripts" but they works if phone completely boots in OS.

Why not? I want only mount /data on sd without booting in OS. Other partitions like /system surprisingly work right, because i can flash ROM (stock, CM), but always receive - "cant mount /data"
