Hi!
I'm experiencing an annoying problem while updating my XOOM (MZ605) with the latest KitKat ROM.
I followed the instructions to repartition my device, and I tried using both Omnirom and Cyanogenmod roms, but I get the same error everytime.
In the step of wiping everything (but the SD card), I get a couple of messages saying that it was unable to mount cache to E: drive. TWRP recovery system says that the wipe process failed. Anyway, I went further in the steps, and I was able to flash the room and the gapps (it passes the BigPart partition check), but when I boot into system, my xoom stays stuck at the splash screen; it is not booting.
I tried both Omnirom and Cyanogenmod, and I get stuck in the same place. I thought I messed some part, so undone the BigPart, installed stock rom from motorola, and started over. But got the same problem.
I would liek to know if anyone know whats going on with the partiitoning, and if I can get rid of the mounting errors.
Thank you!

In your process of wiping...did you try to wipe just the cache by itself. When I got that error message i would go back to the main menu in recovery and just wipe the cache (or whatever giving me an error message) by itself.
Same problem here

Same problem here... I can't properly do some of the advanced wipes in the process of trying to install omni.
I did as you suggested and tried wiping them individually but to no success.
I am definitely not as fluent in this stuff as a lot of you on here are, but I am competent/confident enough to follow good instructions.
Somebody help please!
Cant install KitKat Roms
I am having the same issue and have done the same thing. Tried installing both CM and OMNI with no success. the recovery is telling me the came thing that it cannot mount E:\ 'cache' and other files i need to wipe.
Some one please help.
i was wondering...
i was wondering if the fact that i used to have a custom rom and then reverted back to stock (relocked the bootloader and unrooted successfully) last year before i attempted the omni install could be a factor?
But it worked before

I'm getting the same "can't mount cache" error when converting to Big Part - I had previously been running several Big Part roms, and had no problem with the conversion at that time - I then reverted back to stock (using VZW OTA's) for awhile, but want to give the Big Part roms another shot - I've tried several methods of reverting to stock, then coming back to install a 10.1 ROM, which is successful, but when I flash the Big Part TWRP and try the conversion, I get the cache mount error every time - I can revert to the "normal" TWRP, reformat, and re-install non-big part roms without a problem - help us Obi Wan! WTF?
I was getting the same thing as you guys. Stuck on splash screen. What I did to fix mine was under TWRP go to wipe, did factory reset wipe, then data wipe. Then mine worked for me. Takes about 3-5 minutes to boot on 1st start after wiping. Hope this helps.

I forgot to mention click the format data tab under wipe and type yes.
I just had this same experience. I think the directions are somehow missing a step or we're misreading it.

A day not spent well
I am having the same issue all of you guys are having. I had 10.1 stingray (4.2.2) running well and thought it was time to try Kit Kat. Both the ROMs wind up the same way, a loooong running splash screen (over an hour before I manually rebooted). Over and over no mater how many ways I tried to wipe the XOOM I kept getting the Can't mount the cache message. I was able to revert back to 10.1 but I can't figure why others can make the install and we cannot. I have asked others on the forum but no one can answer the question?
Anyone? Thanks! Paddy
I was finally able to figure this out last night. I was looking at my cache and data formats and both were formatted as f2fs. I believe it's under wipe in the latest TWRP (2.7.1.0), there's an option on the left that shows you the format type of your drives. On non BigPart TWRP I changed the cache and data to ext4. Rebooted back into recovery, and followed the guide posted here to apply BigPart to my Xoom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2506997 :: Then I was able to load Omni BigPart edition with no issues at all. I'd be happy to give more details if anyone wants. I'm in the office now, otherwise I'd post some snap shots. I'll update this when I get home.
has anyone recovered from the "unable to mount cache" error? I have followed all the information in this thread, checked out the relevant links all to no avail.
The only additional data I can provide is that when I go into the wipe menu (TWRP 2.7.1) / advanced / select cache / and "repair or change" I have all 0's for the cache size MBs. Repairing the cache or changing file system claims to be successful, but it's always 0 MBs. For grins I tried all of the above with TWRP 2.6.3 and had no better results.
Thanks in advance.

Hi All,
I have the Telstra HTC One XL, and have just recently attempted to install CM10 ROM - however have run into some problems that I would appreciate some advice to rectify. I had recently updated to Jelly Bean OTA.
I followed the guide on these forums - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1859478
I Successfully unlocked bootloader by following the steps at HTCdev.com
I Successfully installed TWRP Custom Recovery
I Downloaded CM10 as per - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1790032. I transferred this as well as Google Apps onto my phones storage.
When attempting to install CM10, I created the Nandroid backup as recommended, and proceeded to wipe the mentioned items using TWRP (a guide I saw said to wipe everything). This is when my Nandroid back-up got wiped. TWRP gives you the option to wipe cache, delvik cache, factory reset, system, external storage, internal storage and format data. I did alll of these, and this was my mistake I believe? I proceeded to try and install CM10 and gapps from internal storage (I had to re load these back on after I wiped everything), and the install of CM10 displayed as successful.
Upon rebooting to system, the HTC screen comes up first and then goes to the CM10 animation. The phone then stays on this animation (rotating circle) for up to 10-15 minutes.
I have read thread after thread with people experiencing similar issues, and have tried rectifying my problem with various versions of roms and different guides out there. I can still boot into recovery (TWRP) mode via bootloader, and this means I can still mount my phone's storage onto my PC and have access to the storage directory. As I have deleted the Nandroid backup though, and because the ROM's won't install, I am stuck in no man's land.
There must surely be a way to have a ROM installed (even if its back to stock Telstra) from the position I am in, it would be greatly appreciated if someone may be able to point me in the right direction.
Thanks,
Robbie
maybe yall need to "fastboot flash boot boot.img" now

Why do people keep doing this??? Just because TWRP gives you all those options, doesn't mean you should use them.
Sometimes, people will say to do a "full wipe" when flashing a ROM. But that term is a bit misleading. Factory reset (from TWRP, never from hboot), wipe Dalvik and wipe cache is all that is technically required when flashing a new ROM. Some people like to wipe more "just in case". But if you aren't completely confidant in what you are doing, keep in simple and don't make it more complicated than it needs to be.
I don't know if wiping everything is the cause of your woes, but it certainly didn't help, and caused you to do some extra steps.
Flash boot.img via fastboot as previously suggested. Otherwise, just try to re-download and flash the files agin. Its seems that some people are having troubles booting after flashing CM10 (even after doing the correct wipes and flashing boot.img). Doesn't seem to be much rhyme or reason, but just flashing again has fixed the problem for at least one person.
Thanks so much, such a simple fix! That has me booted up into CM10.
I have installed cm-10-20130107-NIGHTLY-evita and cm-10.0.0-evita , however with both of these versions, my touch screen is not working once it boots up. I can function with the volume up/down, and with the power buttons, but cannot get past my SIM card lock screen.
I noticed this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2083314 (no solution yet)...
Does anyone have a solution to this issue that seems a common one?
Alternatively, more than happy to get an alternative ROM on my phone in the interim...Can someone recommend me a ROM?
Again, I really appreciate the quick response to my problem, very happy my phone is in operation!
Long time visitor, first time poster.
Upgraded rom today when I found of there was an official 4.3 upgrade for the Verizon GS3. Looked around and found this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2600305 Before that, I was on the last official stock, flashed deodexed rom.
Installed rom zip via CWM, rebooted. After loading screen, it starts upgrading apps. It got stuck on 82 of 601. After 15 minutes, I booted into recovery and wiped cache (failed to do this during initial install, it never was a problem before). Reboot, gets stuck on 93 of 465. Hard reboot, total number keeps going down, but keeps sticking.
After several hard reboots (pulling the battery), I got it down to 1 of 1, but it won't go any further. It's been about an hour.
What do I do next?
While waiting for ideas, I'll hard reset, boot into recovery, wipe cache again, and see what happens.
Edit: Wiped cache partition from CWM, rebooted, still stuck at 1 of 1.

I believe you may need to use ODIN to manualy re-flash the 4.3 update. NOTE: This will lock your bootloader, but seeing as how you have already upgraded it already is.

Do I specifically need to find a rom that is Odin flashable, or should I try another zipped package flashed through recovery?

Don't use Odin to flash the official tar file, you'll lock your bootloader and you'll be stuck.
Wiping dalvik cache should work, but if it doesn't then do this.
In recovery factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache, format system, then format internal sd card (this will erase everything on your phone). Then reflash the rom again.

I wanted to try something else before formatting the card and having to deal with that, so I downloaded the zipped rom here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2591895
From CWM I wiped cache (again), wiped dalvik (again), and installed rom. On reboot, went through app optimization without any problems.
I'm not sure what the problem was, but I fixed it by using a different rom.
Thank you for the help.
ok so here is what i have done and what has happened. so far google and the search box keep taking me to threads with similar problems but those fixes dont work or do not apply to me afaik.
so i started on cm11s stock rooted on the One. (bootloader is already unlocked)
checking the PA rom thread it said if you are flashing from cm11 make sure to flash to cm12 first, then flash gapps.
once that is working get into recovery mode (twrp in my case) clear cache and dalvik then flash PA rom
done that then ended up in an android apps loading bootloop. i have flashed GAPPS also but still remaining in the bootloop.
now if i go back to cm12 i can get to the homescreen and use it a little. but once i plug the usb cable in (connected to PC) it reboots. it also reboots randomly. i have since just wiped the entire phone. now once im on the homescreen i try to access the internal storage in windows and the device appears but does not show anything. i am trying to copy the PA rom zip and Gapps zip to the phone to try flashing again. since it has been crapping itself i have been using adb sideload to flash files.
so what am i missing, what have i forgot to do along the way?
cm11 to cm12 then PA as per instructed is giving me a bootloop (with wiping cache+dalvik when supposed to)
any help is appreciated,
cheers,
kanjo

The PA thread actually says to flash PA over the top of CM12 while only wiping cache and dalvik cache? No wiping system or data? I'd put money on that being the cause of your problems. The only reason to flash CM12 first is to have the proper updated firmware installed in preparation for PA. Leaving the system and data partitions intact before flashing a different ROM (PA over CM12) is asking for trouble.
Go into TWRP and perform a full wipe (system, data, cache, dalvik cache), then flash the PA zip and the gapps zip and reboot. Don't flash CM12 again because the firmware was updated the first time you flashed it.
EDIT: Exactly which thread are you getting these instructions from? Neither of the PA threads that I'm aware of contain those instructions.

was coming back just now to update whats happening.
i finally got PA to boot. after many many fresh installs of cm12. one booted without a loop. i went back to twrp did a factory reset (wipe of dalvik and cache) (device was already freshly wiped of all data) had tried this many times but it finally booted.
now i have some weird things happening., ie. if i go into settings and enable or disable ADB the phone reboots... it didn't have that happen when i was on cm11. so not sure why it is happening now.
further if i install GAPPS i get a boot loop of android is upgrading. not sure why. the only boot that seems to work is when i run PA no gapps and no SUroot. any ideas why this is happening? or for how long the android is upgrading is meant to loop. ive seen some people say it is normal and could last 10 minutes. ive sat through multiple sessions of this some 1hour+ long. so not sure what is going wrong. i dont usually have much trouble flashing roms. this one is puzzling.
**edit**
forgot to add when it does boot. well when it did,. its now on a Android is upgrading loop after flashing GAPPS and enabling root......
anyway when it did boot the homescreen would show an error saying "settings has stopped" not sure why that is happening either.

Just to be clear, you've wiped system, data, cache, and dalvik cache directly before flashing PA? No CM flashes since wiping all of those partitions?
Also, which thread are you getting those install instructions from? Neither of the PA threads that I'm aware of contain those instructions.
ill try to clean up what has happened here;
have tried booting to twrp. wiped all data,
flashed PA
booted. with weird errors (settings has stopped and reboots on usb plugged in or adb turned off or on)
tried to flash gapps and enable root
now bootloop of android is upgrading.
going to go back to twrp. wipe all data and flash PA again without gapps and without root. will report back in about 10 minutes. will flash by using TWRP and ADB sideload.
do i need to reflash cm12 if i clear all data in twrp? i saw you mention above once i have flashed cm12 once it will have the need FW files to go to lolipop (in this case PA rom) at the moment i am trying to sideload PA rom after wiping data, system, cache and dalvik. is this why i am having the issue?
im dead tired so i admit i can be making mistakes though everything i have done seems to be what i am meant to do. flashed from cm11 to cm12, cleared all data, then flashed PA+gapps and root. = upgrading boot loop and errors mentioned above. tried flashing just PA and it booted with same errors, flashed gapps and errors.
all the files MD5s look good. not sure what is wrong.
--edit--
okay now i am at homescreen on PA.
when enabling/disabling adb in dev settings i get a reboot. is this normal now? does it need to reboot to mount the filesystem or something?
when it does boot after enabling adb i get "settings has stopped"
going to go to TWRP and flash GAPPS now and leave root not installed. will report back in a sec.

You only need to flash CM12 once, ever. The wipes don't remove the firmware.
Right now this is the exact (and only) process you need to follow:
1. Boot into TWRP.
2. Wipe system, cache, dalvik cache, and data.
3. Flash ROM + gapps together.
4. Reboot phone.

balls, was hoping to us PA, haven't used it since my old s3 and figured it was the rom for me again. will have to check the rom comparison spreadsheet and look into others.
right now i have sideloaded PA alone. will copy PA and gapps to the internal storage to make things easier.
but it doesnt look like it is going to work for me.
going to try it once more like you said but locally rather than through sideload. though the internal storage is deciding when it does and doesnt want to show up.
TWRP
wipe system, cache, dalvik cache, and data.
and flash them both in tandem.
and for the fun of it when it asks if i want to install root i will let it go right ahead.
maybe this time it will work. if not then its a different rom for me. sadly.
okay so now **** got retarded. TWRP has been replaced by the stock cm11 recovery and i am too pissed off to think straight and cannot remember how to get this son of a ***** rooted again let alone to flash TWRP. i dont want to use any toolkits they all seem broken as hell.
can anyone point me in the right direction because ive just about lost my **** and this phone is going to meet my fist head on very shortly...
**edit**
done. after all this i am now on cm11 stock rooted ....seriously. hours upon hours, just to get back to where i started.
man i love when things go smoothly. anyway cheers for your help @Heisenberg . n
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).

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.

First of all: I made a thread about bricking my Moto G earlier, but since this is a new issue (and a new Android version) I thought it would be better to make a new thread
So as some of you might have noticed yesterday there was the first release of CM13 for the Moto G and if you had nightlies enabled (like me) you'd just get it as a normal update, except for having to install the new Gapps of course. The problem is I didn't notice that it was CM13 until it was too late... First thing that happened was of course that my Google Play Services we're not working anymore. I tired flashing Gapps for 5.1 but it said that I used the Gapps for the wrong Android version. So I looked in the settings and noticed that I had Android 6.0 . Now I tried flashing OpenGapps for Android 6.0, which worked, but as soon as I booted Android it told me something like "Setup Assistant stopped working" over and over again, so I tried reverting to my latest CM12.1 backup I had, which was a bad idea... My phone was stuck in a bootloop and everytime I tried wiping my phone (except for internal storage) it rebooted when wiping data. Reflashing TWRP didn't help, so I tried flashing stock Android with mfastboot and it got to the point where it was optimizing apps but after that it just did the same thing again (classic boot loop).
Here's my question: How can I get TWRP working again and install CM13 (again if possible without wiping my internal storage or at least being able to back some files up) ?
Can u access TWRP?

Yes I can, flashing and wiping works, except when trying to wipe data
Then don't wipe data?! Wiping data isn't necessary every time!
