Cant mount /data, seems corrupted

Okay, I've looked everywhere but I haven't found any solutions. I was running PA and everything was fine. Flashed purity, booted, and phone was FC. Went back to twrp (latest version) to restore backup. It requested a password. I have never set one. I hit cancel, clicked restore, and my entire sdcard partition is gone. Tried cwm, same thing. Error mounting /data. I'd really appreciate some help here. I'm an experienced ROM flasher. Been doing it a while. Is there anything I can do to fix it, short of flashing factory image?

I just kept trying to format data and it finally worked. Weird. I'm adb side loading PA right now so hopefully that'll work.
Edit: just finished sideloading. It booted, but on the setup screen, I have a reoccurring "unfortunately, phone has stopped" message. Recovery still says unable to mount storage when trying to wipe anything.

Completely unnecessary.
The ROM has a backup script that saves your Google apps as well as the dialer if you flashed that. That conflicts with a fresh install.
All you need to do is, factory reset, wipe system so that the script has nothing to backup, them flash ROM and gapps. That's it.

Bootlooped and cannot use TWRecovery

Hello,
My nexus 5 is currently stuck in a bootloop and TWR is asking for a password to decrypt my data and wipe cache/dalvik. Is there anything i can do to get it out of the loop or is my phone dead?
Thanks for reading, any advice is greatly appreciated.

Does your computer recognizing your device? Can you go into bootloader,if yes,try to go back to stock rom,and flash stock recovery.

The factory image, in there is a zip, extract it

I think Ben3.6 knew the answer and he was asking in place of the OP
so, for the OP, here are the factory images. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2513701

[Q] Android 4.4.3 on a rooted device

I own a rooted Nexus 5 with KitKat 4.4.2. Yesterday the N5 "saw" the 4.4.3 update, so I've downloaded it and then installed it, but while the phone was rebooting after the installation, it displayed the dead android logo with an error message. I've shut it down and reboot the phone but it is still running the 4.4.2 instead of the 4.4.3 and it doesn't receive the new update again. What can I do?

Download a rooted version of the 4.4.3 Stock ROM from here on XDA.

What's the error message? Did you previouslt root the phone on 4.4.2 by yourself or did you buy it which is already rooted?

I rooted it by myself on KitKat 4.4.2.

what system mods did you make? this includes kernels and any changes to ANY file in the /system directory.

Download Vomers rom and flash it. Its stock 4.4.3. That's what I did and its running smoothly.

[Q] in title most definitely means this should be in q&a and not general.
The reason it failed is because you weren't stock (kernel, recovery, all system apps, no xposed framework). You need all of those to flash ota.
Like posted above, download @vomer's 4.4.3 ROM and flash it. It's the same thing. I ran it for a week and its golden

I had the same problem and the only "mod" I did was the tethering mod where I added the tether_dun_required 0 change to the settings.db file
Would that be the reason why mine failed? I unlocked bootloader, rooted STOCK.

Is the recovery stock?

Yes

Would probably need to know the error message to further troubleshoot the issue.
If you want root after an OTA, you have to fastboot flash a custom recovery then flash the superSU zip to root, so as suggested you may aswell fastboot flash recovery then recovery flash the stock rooted rom already mentioned. Actually fewer steps doing that.

[Q] Restore Nexus 5 to stock

Dear friends,
Today I bought a used nexus 5 for a little money. The only problem with it is that it wont boot anything because the seller wiped all data (inc. OS) which he thought was a factory reset. He was really stressed this happened and sold me the phone for even less. The only thing he did in the past was install a recovery mode.
My question:
How can I restore the phone to stock ROM? Currently there is no ROM installed. Everything is wiped.
What I already did:
- Download the 4.4.3 (KTU84M) version.

Use fastboot and flash factory image.
Refer sticky for guide.

Hey,
Thanks for the answer. I did these steps. Fastbooted hammerhead-ktu84m and everything works. According to devs.google I should relock bootloader. Is it neccesary?
