Hi guys, I'm so frustrated, I can't fix my Nexus 5. I'll explain.
I wanted to flash stock firmware and did it but now my Nexus 5 is stuck on bootanimation, I don't know what to do!
Tried with TWRP, and it says Unable to mount /data, same with CWM...
Hope you help me, thanks in advance.
- EDIT -
I fixed it, by flashing every img inside the image-hammerhead...zip, TWRP and wiping cache. The first time it booted I had unknown baseband and IMEI and like 4 fc's. Then I found this post, so I flashed it all again and now it's 100% working.
All you had to do is perform a factory reset from the stock recovery to fix it.. Or even a /cache format could have fixed it..
Anyways, glad you fixed it yourself!

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:
fastboot erase cache
hey guys
i was installing cm12.1 nightly and i though to fresh install it. so i opened twrp and swiped dalvik cache,cache and data but factory reset failed for some reason.i found out that twrp couldnt format data.so i googled it and found that changing file partition system can overcome this problem so i changed the file partition system to fat. then i tried to install cm12.1 but it got stuck in the boot animation.
then i again tried to factory reset but this time i got error 'unable to mount /data'
i tried cwm and touchwiz recovery but both of them couldnt even format data as it was un mountable
so guys can you help me as my phone is lying dead now and there's nothing i can do about it
if you need any log /screenshot pls let me know
hoping for working solution
having a good day
I've read this issue with other devices, however. i've not found a solution for this yet
I'm new to this forums, let me know if i don't do something right.
I've been using Alberto97's AOSP Lollipop 5.1.1, it's my first custom rom install, i got it on
the first try, TWRP 2.8.6.0 running with no problems.. flashed other stuff like moto camera, marshmallow bootanim, and that's all
Last week i've tried to update to the CAF latest version of his build, however, TWRP
reboots when i try to wipe the /data partition, in the custom TRWP 2.8.7.0 thread found
i might need to repair the partition, i tried it with no success, repaired /cache with no problem, but when i try to fsck /data on TWRP it gaves me an error, haven't tried /system yet.
tried using CWM and it got stuck at wiping /data for like an hour (endless loop), i rebooted, the data was wiped, but i couldn't flash the ROM image, rebooted to clean system with no problems, it wipes cache and dalvik with no issues.
What's causing this? i have not faced apps FC or anything, just the TWRP random crashes at wiping, i'm using a Moto G XT1032 16GB TWRP 2.8.6.0 No custom kernel or non official recovery.

hope you can help, thanks in advance.
Same problem here
You can use CWM by PhilZ for fixing what I think is a broken symlink to the emulated internal storage card.
I am using philz-6.58.7-falcon that you can find and download here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2639583
Once you have flashed the new recovery you can go to "Advance menu", then to "change sdcard target" and define it to /data/media (you just have to tap on the option to set it).
Go back, select "Wipe option", then "Wipe User media" and the process should be successful.
If you reinstall TWRP and wipe "/data" now the rebooting problem should be gone and everything back to normal.
Hope this helps for you.
By the way this is my very first post here. So I hope I am doing this right.
Greetings.
Thank you for the help, i fixed it by repairing the userdata partition with the latest TWRP
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.

Hello, thanks for your help.
It seems I bricked my galaxy s7 while trying to format the /data partition.
I installed TWRP 3.2 and a custom rom, and everything went smoothly until then.
I tried installing an audio mod which throwed a " can't mount /data" error, searching for solutions I read that formatting the data partition to fat and back to ext4 should solve the problem, I tried formatting it to fat with TWRP, however on the first try I got a message that it suceeded, followed by a message that /data could not be mounted, TWRP seemed to be still working (there was no reboot button or any other buttons, just a "working" bar). After giving the phone 3 hours I decided to restart it, now I can't access TWRP; it stays on it's "splashcreen", and of course the phone won't boot.
I'm having a rough time with this so I will appreciate it a lot if you can help me.
Thank you.
Boot to download mode, flash stock firmware using Odin, then retry the TWRP installation.
For wiping data, you have to make sure you use the wipe option that makes you type out 'yes' to wipe, the other factory wipe methods don't actually properly wipe the partition.
iirc you also then need to flash the dm no verity zip from the TWRP thread.
Bro you didn't have to do anything but just formating the phone in the first place. Aassuming you're on oreo , it happens to a lot of people and myself, after flashing a kernel twrp was unable to munt data, all i had to do is a data format in twrp that fixed the problem .
