E:cant mount SD, cant write system.img

Hi,
my NSdoesnt boot and I cant flash another ROM because my NS cant mount SD anymore, so I tryed to restore it back to stock and flash the .imgs with fastboot. Boot.img, recovery.img, userdata.img, without problems, but the system.img gives me the message "write failed" or something. Tryed it multiple times with the Gingerbread system.img, and ICS system.img, same problem.
I can boot into recovery, but the phone doesnt recognize the SD and also the system partition.
Any solutions?
Sorry for my english.

What recovery you using?

Tried 2 different CMW Recoveries, it's not a recovery problem. My System and SD storage is corrupt or something, I think.

It can't be all that corrupt as you are able to install boot loader and recovery. Try and adb sideload CyanogenMod 10.1. Once you got a booting phone, things tend to play nicely.

Just tried the adb sideload method.
"Installing update..." for 5 Minutes now. I think it cant write on /system.
I've also tried to erase /system partition via fastboot it gives me also the "failed" message.

system.img write fail error
I have the same problem, can't write a system img to the phone

I have TWRP but it would not do anything to the system partition.

[Q] Bootloop after flashing 5.0, 4.4.4 an 4.4.2

Hi,
I got a notification today that the 5.0 OTA update is available for my Nexus 5. I tried doing the update and Clockwork Mod complained and the update didn't work. I decided to try doing a manual install. I downloaded the 5.0 stock image, adb executable and fastboot executable. I ran flash-all.sh script included with the stock image. It seemed the ROM installed fine but I was stuck on the boot animation for over an hour. I decided this was too long and tried flashing 4.4.4 with the same problem (downloaded the 4.4.4 stock image and ran it's flash-all.sh script), boot animation kept going.
I tried installing a TeamWin as a recovery because some googling told me that the Dalvik Cache may not have been wiped correctly. I tried wiping Dalvik (and everything else) but they all errored out. I completely formatted everything (had the type "yes" for TeamWin to let me). Once again I tried installing 5.0 and had the same problem.
I did some more googling and some people suggested using ClockworkMod. I flashed ClockworkMod, wiped everything (user data, cache and dalvik) and am now stuck on the boot animation of 4.4.2. I'm running out of ideas and I hope someone else knows what's going on.
Every time that I tried running the flash-all.sh script of any of the stock images I get output very similar to the following:

Also, for what it's worth, when trying to figure out my problem with TeamWin I noticed that a message to the effect of "full SELinux support is present".
Does anyone happen to know what's going on?
EDIT: I'm doing this on OS X 10.9

Did you try turning it on and off again?

Quit using custom recoverys and root, in fact, dont even try to root after you install Lollipop. If you are in Fastboot mode/bootloader and it isnt working then you should verify the integrity of the file and try a better USB cable that is dedicated for file transfer, not the cheap stock one. I flashed mine in 2 mintues no problem 5 mintues to load
EDIT: You also have to update your fastboot drivers and adb, there is a new one

Well...I fixed it. I can't say for sure but I think I may have had a bad fastboot executable. I followed this guide and installing 4.4.2 worked perfectly.

Try extracting the .img files and use fastboot to flash them manually. It installed fine for me without errors.

Deep trouble with my N5 (after rooting) and cannot flash factory image

Hi there,
First, sorry for my english.
I'm not a newbie in rooting, but it's the first time i've got a N5. So, after getting my N5, the phone update to 4.4.4, after to 5.0.1 and after to 5.1.1.
After that, i've flash CWM, but i don't know why but this method give me many error (like the /sdcard cannot be mounted, etc) and i'm in a bootloop. So i've install TWRP, and i've see something weird, it's like all the folder /system, /data, etc cannot be mount because is not there.
So, i'Ve decide to download the factory image 5.1.1 (LMY48B) of the N5, and execute the "flash-all.bat", but it's stock to "writing 'system' ...

Error 70 when trying to install GAPPS

Hi people
Yesterday I updated my phone to CyanogenMod(CM)13.0 which went fine. However when I rebooted the phone a popup came up the entire time telling me that google play services stopped working. In an attempt to fix it, I accidently removed google play services, causing a bunch of trouble at the moment.
I went to the CM Wiki and first I downloaded the "nano" variant of the GAPPS, trying to fix everything in the end. I put the file on my phone and tried to install it via recovery. This message came up however:
Insufficiënt storage space available in system partition. You may want to use a smaller GAPPS package or consider removing some apps using GAPPS-config ( bla bla) Error code 70.
As far as I can see, it is able to mount /system and /data, but the partition does not seem to have enough space left, at least so it says.
After that I tried the same with the "pico" variant, which also gave the same result. Pretty strange for a package that small.
So after taking a backup of important files I tried to wipe data/factory reset (was going to reinstall everything), to which I got an error "data wipe failed", which is correct since I can still boot in CM13 after that.
So I'm a bit in trouble here. I cannot seem to wipe my phone entirely, nor am I able to reinstall GAPPS due to this error 70.
Could this be a permissions problem somehow?
Things I have done so far to check what the problem could be:
- I've checked the space left on the /system partition which is 501 MB. Should be enough I guess?
- I've checked the /system partition for errors via adb shell while the phone was in recovery mode, which came out clean.
Below a picture of output of "mount", "df -h" and "uname -a" for extra information.

Was the phone dirty flashed from an older cm13 rom or was it dirty flashed over a non-cm13 rom?

What do you mean with dirty flashed?
i got this Phone from a friend and the Original stock rom was installed. I installed Cyanogenmod together with gapps and everything went fine back then.

Dirty flashing is referred to as the installation of a new rom without wiping the previous rom prior to installation of the new rom.
If the stock rom was LP or kk and cm13 is installed via dirty flash, it is likely, based on my on experience, that the phone will hang at the boot screen.

The Phone is working perfectly on its own, except for the google-applications.
That is the reason I only need GApps, to repair the initial problem.
Would it be a solution to format /data and /system and start all over? Although i'm worried that I will still not be able to install GApps due to error 70...

I agree that it may be simpler to start over by flashing a stock Mm rom, erasing userdata in fastboot, flash userdata.img in fastboot, make sure it boots, install twrp, install cm13, no then gapps.

Which recovery do you use? TWRP or CWM?
Which build date of open gapps have you tried? The latest one?

It started installing after I initiated the flash-all command. This is the output. i downloaded the correct image and searched the net to know how I had to work with fastboot and such.

So, again something about the file being to large. I locked and unlocked the lock state of my phone to make sure it would remove data, to get more space. I guess it did not really work.
Anything else I can do?

I first erased the partitions "system", "data" and "cache". After that I flashed "system", "userdata", "cache", and lastly "boot"
The phone booted into the rom, I entered my PIN, after which it complained my data was corrupt. It makes sense because of this:
"D:\temp\Hammerhead>fastboot flash data userdata.img
target reported max download size of 1073741824 bytes

It prolly needs the data partition to write stuff to.
Somehow the partition table of data seems to be gone.
So, the plot thickens! Is there a way I can recreate this partition table, or am I supposed to do something else?

fastboot flash userdata userdata.img
btw, nothing is wrong with your partition table, there is simply no partition on the phone called data. Data is part of userdata partition.

The commands are:
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot flash userdata userdata.img
The img file has to be extracted from the mmb29s zip file.

Damn, stupid I didn't see that.
I'll try again tonight and see how that goes.

Stuck on "Google" at bootup

This phone is totally stock other than unlocked bootloader.
I was in the middle of using the web browser when out of the blue it rebooted and now no longer gets past the initial "Google" screen, it doesn't even get to the animated screen.
I tried flashing the latest software hammerhead-mob30h from within fastboot, everything worked fine and flash seems to have been successful ..still it will not go past "Google" screen.
I already tried wiping cache, it was the first thing I tried.
Any suggestions?

Verify the checksum of the factory image - just to be sure that the downloaded file isn't corrupted. For MOB30H the official checksum is
Code:
MD5: e44f4b7b25f918c8ab011ddf8d08b5a5
SHA-1: 66d165e6643366a89287414f11c247ef626ed930
However, if the checksum is fine I assume it's a hardware-related issue.

Yeah they match, damn I really wanted to wait for the next Nexus.

Damn.. maybe someone else can hop in! I'm sorry...

If memory was messed up wouldn't the flash fail?

Did you flash the userdata.ing file too?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Was holding off on that in hopes of recovering the data.
But, could userdata affect the initial boot up? I would think the other partitions would be the ones that are used so early in boot process.

Yes, I have found that, in some cases, flashing userdata.img and immediately performing a factory wipe will allow the phone to boot.

Made some progress...
Used NRT to launch a custom recovery, do a backup of data and wipe the phone. It now has gone past "Google" screen for the first time and is on animation ....hopefully I'm back in business.

YES!
It booted back up clean, I then used NRT again to get back into custom recovery and did user data restore, booted back up and everything is as if nothing had happened
Thought she was a gonner for sure.
