So not eaxctly sure how this happened.
...currently on TWRP 2.2.1.4, and was trying to update bootloader and recovery.
Somehow in the process of trying to fix it, everything got wiped (yey)
On TWRP, under mount, I can only select Mount System
Then when I try to do anything, i get this:
E: failed to mount /data (no such file or directory)
also
E: tw_format: failed to locate device "/dev/block/mmcblk0p2"
E: Unable to mount '/data' (tw_mount)
E: Unable to mount '/cache' (tw_mount)
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated
You need to give us more info!
What bootloader and rom were you on?
What bootloader and recovery are you on now?
What and how did you try to flash?

Your TWRP is too old and incompatible with your current bootloader. Can you still get to the bootloader menu? DO NOT "WIPE DATA" FROM THE BOOTLOADER MENU. Then use fastboot from a PC to install a more recent TWRP.

Yessir.
Bootloader, not sure. I forgot what part in time I bricked it (months ago). Is there any way to tell via TWRP?
Recovery: TWRP 2.2.1.4
I believe it was CM 10.1. I was attempting to update the bootloader in order to install the new ROM. this was without updating recovery, which is where I think this problem originates.
Thanks!

Power+Volume right? The device will vibrate once, but screen will remain off. Just power boots into the ASUS screen with unlock message, then TWRP 2.2.1.4. No matter what combination or timeing I try I cant get it into the bootloader. (gone right)
I have tried clicking all the possible buttons in TWRP in my desperate attempts to fix.
Will not mount a system.
Nvflash? nope. Dont have the og backup.
Any ideas on what else to try?
Thanks!

Read this and see if buster's method can get you fastboot access.

Good luck!
Got no error when flashing, but got stuck on a loop when try to reboot the phone
I did something stupid and installed rom manager, it corrupted my recovery. I restored to stock rom i found online using odin but it says you need to wipe factory settings to make it boot. The recovery is now the stock one but it displays error messages and when I choosed a command it does nothing. What should I do?
EDIT: I flashed another stock rom this time i could boot into the phone. Some of my apps went missing and superuser went missing. It was a little weird. The recovery still shows errors and no command. It says
"can't access to '/system/csc/VAU/system". I don't think I can root it again and install a custom rom. I dont know what is the right thing to do now. I just want to root it and install a rom
EDIT2: I installed another recovery called Amon-RA recovery and I still get errors. I am thinking maybe the recovery partition is corrupted. I get these errors.
E: Can't mount CACHE:recovery/command
E: Can't mount /dev/block/stl14
(invalid argument)
E: Can't mount CACHE:recovery/log
E: Can't open CACHE:recovery/log

Hello,
I have a big problem,
i have flashed yesterday a new rom with the ADB- Sideload after that still the Gapps.
Now i reboot them and in the Display of TWRP show that no firmware is installed.
I have still reboot the Smartphone and they works but it hasn't any google apps (wtf).
Now i want go back into the Recovery and then was an error:
"unknown command
support API 3
E: failed to mount /cache (invalid argument)
E: cant mount /cache /recovery (last_locale)
in a loop every 5 Seconds"
and now i can't go to the Recovery and into the Bootloader.
I don't know what to do.
PS: sorry for my bad englisch
What do you mean you can't go into bootloader?? No matter how bricked a device is, you should still be able to boot into the fastboot menu.
By the way, which ROM did you flash? If that was a custom ROM, did you flash gapps right after the ROM?
hello iv been trying to flash emui 5.0 firmware but i always get the same error when i flash the system.img it says FAILED (remote: sparse flash write failure)
and when i tried to flash the cust.img i get FAILED (remote: partition error). so like you figured i damaged the partition
i tried to wipe cache, format data but still doesn't work to flash the system.img and the cust.img but the boot and recovery images are fine to flash.
i also tried the dload method with no luck. so it started of when i updated to nougat 7.0 emui 5.0 from emui 4.1 marsmallow 6.0.1 it didn't update properly and i got some other version
with only google voice input, and crashed. so i decided to flash it manually instead in fastboot but before i flashed i went in to twrp and wiped everything and formated the data.
then i flashed the boot,recovery,cust,system images from the update.app to emui 5.0 for my device but then i damage my partition and got stuck on a boot loop. after that i went
in twrp and wiped everything again flashed the images again but then system and cust img failed errors above. would appreciate any assistance thank you.
are you able to flash any custom ROM?
Try booting to TWRP from TWRP and see if it makes any different instead directly wiping and booting.

You need to flash the TWRP 3.1 for EMUI 5.0. Once you flash the correct file you can boot.
Do one thing, remove USB and just press power key, it will boot to system.
Sorry my bad english.
If you connect the phone to PC, you can browse the internal or external storage?
If you do, or you have an sdcard, use it to dload mode to flash firmware. Use rollback package to revert back to an old firmware. And don't use twrp to flashing firmwares. Its wont work perfectly with nougat firmwares. Dont use it.
From twrp did not work for me. This method send my phone to bootloop and later just booting to erecovery, or stay a permanent bootloop. TWRP gone and just the dload method works 100 percentage.
