SOLVED
EDIT: Yup, I just reflashed AOKP, then restored /Data, /Cache, /ExtSD, while keeping /System.
Got it booting properly. Except Link2SD mount script (Which I recreated) and the logcat boot animation (Reinstalled), I did not found any other problem (Yet?).
************************************************************
Hi,
I've tried to install Xposed Framework on my LG P500 (ROM being AOKP); I knew at first that the /System partition had not enough space for installation, so I proceeded anyway, to see the message "Insufficient storage", I wanted to know how much space was required for the installation.
But well, seems there was at that point enough space on /System, and Xposed installed anyways. I preferred to uninstall it right away before rebooting to avoid problem. I suspect the uninstallation wiped the /system/bin/app_process backup.
I then booted in TWRP Recovery and took a full Nandroid backup.
But when I rebooted, heh, it freeze at the boot animation (I have a logcat. I can tell where the Logcat freeze, actually, instantly, just after LG logo).
I tried to flash Xposed Disabler, but it says "No backup found for app_process, nothing to be performed!". I suspect my backup was wiped after I uninstalled Xposed (But why do I still have a boot-loop?).
Could I just reflash AOKP, grab the file app_process and save it, restore the faulty Nandroid Backup, copy the file back, and voila?
Or interestingly, the Nandroid backup was a full one, so /Data, /Cache, /Ext-SD were saved. So if the /System partition only was damaged, could I just restore the /Data and /Ext-SD partition? I get I will have to recreate Link2SD mount script, but not much.
Do I need to reinstall everything?
Thanks for the help ?

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:
I have the same problem. I know what lead me to it.
Its an Asus SL101
I have cyanogenmod correctly installed. In order to install a megatron rom I downloaded their app called megatron apps. Trying to download a rom from them I got validation error at end of download and I make the stupidity of change the download dir from /mnt/sdcard to /sdcard and then when I restart again it doesn´t load and CWM recovery give me the same errors (unable to mount /data or unable to mount /sdcard when cleaning cache or trying to restore a backup ).
The only thing I have been able to do its to install Rogue XM Recovery 1.5.0 instead of CWM 6.x ) but the problem to apply an update or restore a backup persists.
Any idea ?
Aaargh.
After a year and a half of heavy CWM and TWRP usage, this has suddenly happened to me too, possibly after flashing the updated TWRP blob from Goo Manager (although that's conjecture at best). My ROM (RaymanFX' CM10 v6) is fine in everyday use - no problems whatsoever, but now I want to update, and my recovery won't let me.
In the hope that something simply went wrong during recovery blob flash, I successfully deleted TWRP and flashed a different recovery (latest CWM) from ROM Manager, but the new recovery can't mount anything either - neither sd card, data, or cache. The error messages are more or less identical to TWRP's errors. My system MAY be readable, but I can't backup or restore or flash anything anyway, so I don't dare format it.
I don't have a Windows PC, so I haven't tried Easy Flasher. I could try it on my work computer if there's no way around it and if neither OSX or Ubuntu can help.
Any suggestions?
Hi there, I seem to have messed up my mounting partitions while trying to deodex Stock JB Central Europe. I basically used xultimate to pull the files and deodex then tried using adb shell to mount the system partition and copy them over. After I rebooted the phone, it would get stuck on unlocked bootloader warning or on the motorola logo. I hard reset into recovery and restored a nandroid backup and once booted into android found so many folders under the Storage folder such as "asec", "obb", rfs0" and so on. Now, when I try to wipe dalvik-cache in recovery, i get the following error: "E: unknown volume for path [/sd-ext]". Also, when i try flashing custom rom's and reboot, it gets stuck on the unlocked bootloader warning and wont load - while in recovery after flashing, i also get another error something like this: "E: cant load /cache/recovery.log" or similar. I also sometimes have issues mounting system, cache partitions, data and internal storage, all depending on which custom recovery i am using. I read on another site that downgrading to ics might solve mounting problems so I forced a downgrade to ics but that didnt work either and am still on ics.
Is there a way to restore the partitions correctly or are they stuck this way? Would mounting and remounting solve this problem? Any help would be much appreciated and would very much appreciate it if someone could upload their mount point info so i could use to try and fix it.
Many thanks in advance.
EDIT: Managed to flash Slim Bean 4.3 Official using OUDHS recovery without wiping cache and dalvik-cache at first. After reboot, it would bootloop so went to recovery and wiped cache and dalvik-cache then it worked. Still no sd-ext and some apps can't write or backup to external memory such as Go Backup & Restore Pro so what remains is to mount/unmount the partitions correctly.
ill keep this simple. tried to advanced wipe data and cache with TWRP which returned an E:/ unable to mount for both data and cache. internal storage is now saying its 0MB after i "fastboot erase" on as many of the partitions it would return success with (ie, what was mounted) flashall is asking me for a specific device.
How do i reset the internal partitions so they become mountable again? i believe in erasing the ones i had, it has deleted them altogether and i need to flash original firmware to get it to auto restructure (im guessing)
EDIT: so i downloaded this (link not allowed) i just dont know how to implement it through adb or fastboot
somewhere i read that the latest moto PQ versions for CWM and TWRP both have some selinux problem when wiping data, causing a force unmount (parroting. i DONT know what im talking about)
the first time i installed with CM11 with twrp (after CMW only allowing me to install 10.2) it worked great, except google play and whisperpush(whatever that is) crashing consistently. i should have used 'fix permissions' instead of going for a wipe+re-install
please help, what commands do i need to use through fastboot to restore the partitions, or where can i get the fxz file to use with RSD?
this is a brand new out of the box Sim-modded and pre-rooted PQ
SOLVED (i think)
god im so ****ing stupid.
due to corrupting the file structure and not being able to mount the cache or data partitions, when i installed CM11 snapshot it picked my external SD as the data storage /android/data/
FIX: unmounting and removing the external SD i rebooted to system, booted back to recovery. -> factory reset.... auto reboot, cant mount messages, then a second time it said SELinux supported message. ->factory reset again and finally no red messages, wipe to system (got an error, but probably cause system = external SD). i then inserted the external SD, installed the ROM and everything looks normal and working right
TWRP will restore file structure with 'factory reset' BUT ONLY IF you remove your external sd
i hope this thread saves time and headaches for someone.
Hello, i am quite panicked about this problem so i will cut to the chase.:crying: I will write down stuff i did in numerical orders.
1. Using TWRP 2.8.6.1, I was curious to try to go to Wipe>Advanced>full wipe (wiping everything). After i did and tried to reboot, it said there is no OS. So i tried flashing my flashable stock rom 4.4.4 in zip form but it didn't boot.
2. So i flashed to stock in fastboot. (For flashing to stock, i used this instructions http://androidforums.com/threads/guide-how-to-flash-a-nexus-factory-image-manually.706533/). After finish flashing, i went to stock recovery and wiped dalvik cache and data.
3. After that, i rebooted and... that when it didn't seem right. Nexus 5 COULD connect to my PC but it only showed "Internal Storage" and nothing else. If i tried to move something to the storage, it would immediately say i can't move it there.
4. So i thought this was because the full wipe i did before and that the system partition got totally wiped. So i used TWRP again but to restore my old nandroid backup.
5. After i flashed my nandroid backup, twrp said this one line that goes in red "unable to mount /firmware. I ignored and rebooted. It still had the problem where i couldn't move anything to my storage by MTP but also adb push. It even couldn't save screenshots and download anything from internet like apk or some sort. When i went into the app called "Zipper", it said 'no sdcard'.
6. I searched through the internet to fix this but i kept failing to solve it. I tried going to TWRP and doing chmod, chmod 755, using these instructions (http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/general/sdcard-problems-upgrading-android-t2938749)
TL;DR : I did a full wipe in TWRP and lost all permissions to read or write. Nandroid backup didn't help. Whatever i flash in twrp, it says "unable to mount /firmware" at the end.

EDIT: alright i did a mess up. When i flashed the stock, i didn't rename the radio from radio-hammerhead-m8974a-2.0.50.1.16 to radio.img.
hey, something similar happened to me and I am already very frustrated, I had done the whole process of installing the havoc os ROM and everything was going well, until when installing the MagisK from TWRP, it remained on the loading screen (a white circle and It started again and it did not start), I went back to TWRP and reinstalled the backup but when the process is going to finish the following appears: "failed to mount '/ product' (structure needs cleaning), it does not allow me to swipe, install, literally nothing process because it tells me that at the end. I need help, I already fixed the mount system but I haven't found anything for this ...
Did you backup that partition too?
Nvm I just remembered.
The /product partition in Android 9 is an extension of the /system partition
Try format it then mount it again then restore the backup.

I lost the backup and it does not allow me to carry out any process literally, in the end it throws me that error, the only thing I did was format from the pc, reinstall another version of HavocOs and it came out the same, but I connected it to my pc and it showed me the Havoc battery charging animation, but fails to get past samsung home screen, again ...
