I'm getting a failure message while trying to do a wipe data/factory reset in clockwork recovery? I will do it again and get the exact verb-age in a few minute.. It's something to do with a failure ext4 in dev/block/yadayda/etc
Any ideas?
I even tried the leedroid wipe.zip file as well, and that has no errors, but then I try the clockwork wipe and I still get it...
UPDATE!!!
Here is what it says verbatim
--- Wiping data...
Formatting /data...
Formatting /cache...
Formatting /sd-ext...
E:format_volume: make_extf4fs failed on /dev/block/mmcblk1p2
Formatting /sdcard/.android_secure...
Data wipe complete.
Is this normal? What is happening? Any help would be appreciated?
original post updated with exact text from clockwork..

I have accessed my stock recovery and formatted or wiped my "Cache partition" without any problems. But when I choose "Wipe data/factory reset". There's an error coming up. Here's the log:
Android system recovery <3e>
Wipe Cache Partition:
-- Wiping cache...
Formatting /cache...
Cache wipe complete...
Wipe data/factory reset:
-- Wiping data...
Formatting /data...
E:Can't open /data/cwpkg.zip
E:Can't open /data/cw.prop
E:Can't open /cache/cwpkg.zip
E:Can't open /cache/cw.prop
Formatting /cache...
Data wipe complete...
I believe that drive E:/ stands for my MMC right?, I've double checked it, file that being called on is not existing. Even the stock MMC doesn't have those files.
Could anyone shed some light regarding these files that are being called on?
Thanks.
P.S.
Just a guess, "cwpkg" means "ClockWork Package"?
Edit:
corrected typo..
[Q] Are the errors causing you any problems? or are you simply curious?
I wonder if you get this error if you perform a wipe cache before doing a wipe data/factory reset. Someone with more Android experience than myself might be able to confirm this???
But, perhaps the wipe data option performs its own wipe cache and as you've already done that it then can't find the files to delete??
Skanob: wrong. E: stands for Error:
i would try reflash the ruu

There's actually no problem.. It boots itself fine after wiping. It really doesn't matter what you choose first or last, my take on it is just whenever you choose the wipe the data. that certain "error" comes up.
But everything is A-ok.. So i guess you can say i'm just curious..
Hey
I'm trying to change from Prime to Revolution ROMs, but during wiping, I seem to be hitting a problem. When coming to wipe /data, it says it can't remove bootanimation.zip. I'm trying to go in via adb and do this manually, but it won't seem to let me mount /data as read write.
I'm using adb shell while in recovery, and it isn't giving an error message, just constantly staying as ro. This is using clockword recovery 3.2.0.1.
Anyone know what else I can try?
Thanks for your help.
Do you want to give it a try with root explorer?
Forgot to mention, since I've tried wiping, it now just bootloops. Recovery is all I can get into.
edit:
Just to make it clearer what's happening, I'll do it step by step:
- Load recovery, and open adb shell on my PC
-Mount data in recovery, check it in adb shell and it shows it as read/write
-Go to delete a directory or file, and it say's it's read only, check mounts and it's gone back to ro
-If I unmount and remount, it will go back to being RW, but then the same as above happens.
-My problem is when I try to wipe or format in recovery, it gives an error saying it can't delete a certain file
Managed to fix it now. It appears that while using the Superwipe Full script for Revolution ROM, the file table got completely messed up. I used parted to reformat the data partition as ext2, and I can boot now.
I've managed to get that awful Rom (Destroyer) Manager off of my TF101G and have got Rogue on via PERI and now I'm trying to flash the stock ASUS ICS Rom but can't delete the Dalvik Cache because I'm unable to mount /data
Code:
- - Wiping all user data - -
Formatting /data...
Formatting /cache...
Formatting /sd-ext...
Formatting /sdcard/.android_secure
Cache wipe complete.
Formatting /cache...
Cache wipe complete.
Wiping dalvik-cache...
Error mounting /data!
I'm assuming that /data is stuck on read only?
Manually fixing permissions and then mounting /data also shows the same error.
HELP :crying:
Hey guys, my friend accidently formated my phone data in twrp in the wipe section.
In the wipe section, instead of giving factory reset, my friend clicked on the 'format data' . The problem now is my os has been wiped and while trying to install a new os, its showing can't mount cache, system and data. (invalid argument)
I am using TWRP 3.0.0-0
I tried mounting them in the partitions to mount, but its not getting selected.
SYSTEM, CACHE & DATA
Any solutions guys??
at first im just failing at wiping cache.
now i cant even restore my TWRP backup.
it is saying "Failed to unmount '/cache' (Device or resource busy)
now my phone got no OS :crying::crying::crying:
I was facing the same problem.recovery twrp>wipe>advance wipe and then select system>repare or change size>change file system>select FAT
after doing it try to restore your backup and if you get error the only way flash your phone to the last build number(avalaible for your phone) and then install twrp recovery(last version).
restoring backup should be work with this method.
you can try this method
Mount>select partitions to mount : cache
select cache and after doing it go for restoring.

No need to restore /cache partition, exclude it The partition is used by TWRP that's why you can't unmount it.
I still have the same problem persisted. Can't wipe cache with this TWRP recovery. It says can't mount/unmont cache device or resource busy. Restore of the backup was impossible as well. Even when cache was excluded. Changing file types and repairing it also didn' work. In Mount cache is ticked permanently and it can't be unticked.

You can't format "cache" it's just a folder. Do you mean formatting a partition? If so, you cannot mount or format a partition that is in use.
You can wipe /clear the cache.....

dont really know what I did, but somebody in a vid said to do so, so i can install a rom. I waited until my battery is empty and restarted the phone. Now twrp doesnt starts anymore. Already installed another version of twrp, does not work, too.
