G2x got stuck in CWM, and cant mount.

Could you please help me on this?
I have LG G2X. Today, I successfully flashed it to EB 4.0.3 using CWM via NVFlash. After that, I couldn't use internal SD, then I changed a number in a file in etc folder( based on instruction online). I messed up after that. It said that my External SD card is corrupted. I tried to format it.
After that, it kept booting to Recovery mode with 5 line error : E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/command ...
I cant wipe. I can flash the zip files but nothing's changed.
Please help me on this.
Thank you so much,
PSC.

please help
Could you please give me a hint ?

Failed CM11 install on Wingray (E: can't mount /cache) Help! :(

I was trying to install CM11 on my Stock unrooted xoom, so I went ahead and followed cyanogenmod.org's guide.
It was great until the flashing CM part. And then, I got this error: System is not bigpart . (something along those lines.)
I found a same guy who had posted a solution to this.
So I go ahead and follow this, and when I flash BigPart TWRP 2700, I get this error on the device: Installation aborted. I used the sideload method for this.
I looked up some forum threads on how to fix this, and there was a thread which told me to install another version of TWRP BigPart, the R.A.H version. I did that by sideload, it installed, and I rebooted into recovery (after wiping dalvik cache). Teamwin loaded up fine, and I headed into the wipe section. According to the solution at ditoforge.com (link above), I had to go to advanced wipe and wipe everything BUT the sdcard. I did that, and I got this error: E: Can't mount /cache. I went ahead and flashed CWM through fastboot again, repeated the process, and no luck. Then, I went into fastboot and flashed TWRP Bigpart 2.7 directly using adb. It worked, though I got a series of errors upon trying to wipe (unable to mount /system, /cache, /data, etc)
I panicked, fearing a brick, and flashed back CWM. Luckily, I had taken a backup of Stock 4.1 and I restored back to that, thankfully finding it working. *phew*
I also tried fastboot format cache but I got this error on cmd:
Code:
C:\Users\User\Desktop\adb>fastboot format cache
formatting 'cache' partition...
Formatting is not supported for filesystem with type ''.
FAILED ()
Strangely, fastboot erase cache seemed to work.
I wanted to call quits, but I love CM11 and I would really like to give this a shot. Any help and tips would be really appreciated. Thank you all in advance.

Bump. Tried to use CWM recovery again after flashing, but now ADB doesnt work in recov. :\

Bump..
Any help would be appreciated..

I formated all partitions individually in TWRP and it worked... I.E, managed to flash CM11.
Hope that helps.
Now I'm back on CM10.1

Same issue... Can't mount /cache
How can I manually format it?
Solved:

Stuck in Recovery twrp (can't wipe or install ROM)

First things first, I'm a newbie when it comes to all these.
I installed CM11 after much effort, but some things didn't work out well so afterwards, I installed CM12.1* (FXP-cm-11-20150301-UNOFFICIAL-taoshan).* But then I decided that I wanted to change my Gapps Package, so I went to recovery mode once again to wipe my phone and install CM12 all over again.
The thing is that for some reason I just couldn't wipe it (no error message) but I was able to log in back to the system (CM12).
I messed around with a few settings and finally I decided to install twrp 2.8.7.0 through the flashify app. I rebooted to recovery, tried to wipe again my phone and then, all hell broke loose.
I realized that I cannot wipe internal memory of all things, and cannot install any new ROM. Can't flash another recovery either through windows flashtool like CWM 6.0 Philz touch, for example. Well, it does flash but my phone keeps on logging into the twrp recovery. I also can't flash my original fft (obviously). I can't do really anything besides messing around with twrp options (and I've messed a lot with them). I'm all out of ideas, so please someone help. When trying to wipe internal storage, the following message appears:
E:mkdosfs /dev/block/mmcblk0p32 process ended with ERROR=1
E:Unable to wipe '/sdcard'.
E:Unknown MTP message type: 1
E:Unable to wipe '/sdcard'
I have the whole log, for anyone interested.
Please help and remember, I'm a newbie.
Thank you.

Thank you for your answer my friend, but I actually managed to fix my problem just moments before you posted your answer! What I did was to flash the cm12.1 recovery nightly which logged me into this recovery (although it seemed all messed up and.. broken). Nevertheless, I managed to flash the CM12.1 ROM from there and everything worked fine!

Bro #immortalwind.. I'm having the same problem exactly what you had. Seriously fu***d up with all with boot loop @ recovery. Could not able to hard reset / factory reset at neither CWM nor TWRP. Tried all knows possible ways. Please could you help me here. Any1 who can halp me here pls...
P.S: literally not moving from the boot load, so flashing a ROM could not be possible i think. any other suggestions please.....

Just reflash stock ftf. You'll be good to go. If that fails, check drivers and downgrade flashtool. After that, normally, install a boot image with a recovery, install your rom gapps, reboot.

Managed to flash.ftf... Thanks for the help friends.

Failed to mount /data in twrp?

I have flashed android 8.0 with odin then flashed twrp with odin (making sure to disable auto reboot) and rebooted straight into twrp. I then flashed dm verity disabler and now i was able to boot back into my os. The problem is i am now unable to mount my data partition. I have tried formatting my data and this works, but whenever i boot back into my os and set up android, tge problem comes back. Can anyone help with this?

This Worked for me too. It's a simple trick but it's working. Via TWRP, modify EXT4 to EXT2, then again to EXT4 ;-)

Thanks guys
I'm sure it will be useful to many who are going through the same issue

It works only 1 time... and after you lose all data the error come back next boot...

I am planning to install a custom ROM on my S7 and now looking for a way to backup the /data/ partition, which is encrypted.
My preferred solution would be to create a full backup of the old system using twrp, but that doesn't seem to be feasible due to encryption. As the device is not rooted, I cannot pull /data over adb, remove encryption, then restore /data. Any ideas how to solve this?
