.
Good day everyone,
Please Help Me. Im not to sure what exactly i have done .but heres what information i do know.
I have a boost mobile k2_cl 4.2.2 sense 5 . While trying to root i seem to have deleted my internal sd and no longer have an operating system. i do have access to : bootloader which shows the following
TAMPERED
UNLOCKED K2_CL PVT Ship On RL
hboot 2.21.000
Radio 1.12.50.0516
Open DSD V10.2.0268.0401
OS
EMMC boot 1024 MB
I am also able to access fastboot as well as my recovery TWRP version 2.7.1-k2_cl. I was in the process of rooting it. I used the HTC.com guide to unlock the boot loader and using a "Mini-SDK" from Android Forums flashed the previously mentioned TWRP recovery. This was a three or four hour project for me to get this far and I was fairly beat by then but,
The only thing that did not go according to directions was that I had used a generic USB cable which was a loose fit into the phone. Near the end of my task I bumped the phone and the "kadink" "kadink" beeps that signal that something is either being plugged or unplugged from the PC did about 6 beeps. When I finally found an OEM cable and plugged it in there was no longer an operating system on the phone. Furthermore, the TWRP recovery would not function and perform any commands. Whether a back up or Format the SC card or to Wi pe anything, all options of the TWRP recovery produced the same results. the log reads when I tried the Repair function -
E: unable to mount 'int_sd'
E: unable to mount '/int_sd'
Updating partition details
E: unable to mount '/cache'
E: unable to mount'/data'
and E: unable to mount 'int_sd' and also unable to mount the following: internal storage, /int_sd during gui start up, /cache, then it says,
Full SELinux is present then,
E: unable to mount "/cache', /cache, int_sd/twrp when trying to read setting file. Then
Repairing ext_sd card using dosfsck...
Unable to repair '/sd card
Error repairing file system
But I also get about the identicle message, about being unable to mount anything it tries to mount with all the options of TWRP. Is there someone to tell me what to do to fix this? I have a nandroid back up with the stock RUU to put back on it, or if you know of a better version of something could you advise me what to do?
Thanks a million guys,
mike

Have a Telstra One XL 1.89 - after hours of reading/researching I finally rooted the phone and flashed TWRP (ver 2.2.2.0) recovery with a custom ROM.
Everything was working fine until I tried to install a different ROM - I made a backup via TWRP, installed the new ROM but it wouldn't boot ... no worries I had the backup ... I accidentally selected FACTORY RESET from the bootloader instead of RECOVERY which seemed to have wiped all my data on the internal SD card - so my backup has been wiped.
I'm still able to access TWRP so I thought I could simply mount my SD card to my computer and copy my old ROM to flash - however I can't mount the SD card from TWRP - TWRP's console is throwing up "E:failed to mount /sdcard (Invalid argument)" and "E:Unable to mount /sdcard when trying to read settings file." errors - hence in the Mount menu, I can't check the "Mount SDCard" checkbox! (WTF?) - I Google'd this and someone advised that you will need to partition the SD card from within TWRP before it will allow you to mount it - I tried partitioning it but still throwing up those errors
I can also access the device from command prompt via adb - so I tried to flash a rom directly via fastboot but it throws up a "FAILED (remote: not allowed)" when it tries to flash it.
What are my options here? Am I completely screwed? I'm currently in the process of downloading the Telstra RUU - will this even work in my case?? Any help would be GREATLY appreciated - pulling my hair out here ... 2 week old phone
The RUU will make it all better
just lock your bootloader again before you run it
Look who's still floating

Hey mate,
RUU will work but before you do just try mounting it through twrp then plugging it into your pc.
When you're in the mount menu in twrp make sure you hit mount usb storage for Windows to recognise it.
When I did this I got a prompt in Windows that said it needed to format the drive so I formatted it then just copied over the rom I wanted to flash then unmounted and flashed the rom.

Hi!
I've installed this ROM on my HTC One S:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-s/development/rom-cyanogenmod-12-lollipop-htc-one-s-t2946468

E: Unable to mount storage.
E: Unable to mount /sdcard during GUI startup.
E: Unable to mount /sdcard/TWRP/.twrps when trying to read settings file.

Relock your device install the factory RUU, now your phone turn on and all is ok but you haven't the bootloader unlocked, root and recovery, so if you want any other rom you can flash any rom, boot and recovery.
I Think my Internal sdcard is corrupted!
Please Help! Reflashing android won't work. I think the partition is corrupted!
Device: Google Nexus 5
Original OS: Android 5.1.0_r1 (LMY47D)
Recovery: TWRP 2.8.6.0
One day I turned my phone off, and later i decided to go into recovery. I believe I went inside Advanced Options and clicked "Fix Permissions." Then I proceeded to reboot. I was busy at the time, so when I remembered about my phone, I saw that it was still booting. It had been at least 30 minutes so I knew it was in a bootloop. I decided to go back into recovery and reflash the system.img onto it. No luck. I realized I had to try flashing the entire Nexus image (using the flash-all.bat). The phone would still not turn on. I tried flashing different versions of android, and here are my findings:
Android 5.1.0_r3, 5.1.0_r1, 5.0.1: all cause my phone to not be able to boot up (stuck on the 4 color flying animation)
Android 4.4.4, CyanogenMod (cm-11-20141008-SNAPSHOT-M11-hammerhead.zip): Allow my phone to boot up.
However, after I found that I could boot onto Android 4.4.4 and CyanogenMod, I realized that I could not get access to the sdcard!
Here are my findings:
When I go to the phone's root folder, I see a FILE called "sdcard"
When I go to \storage, I see a FILE called sdcard0
When I open camera, the app crashes (possibly because it stores pictures on the sdcard).
I tried to delete these files when I had root access with CyanogenMod but the file manager said "can't delete file." When I am in recovery mode (TWRP) however, I can see the sdcard folder and the contents. Just through every system boot, the sdcard is inaccessible.
After I realized that the problem wasn't due to the data on my phone (after flashing many system images), I realized my data partition might be corrupted. Then I went to this site and followed the directions: http://forum.xda-developers.com/goo...o-repairing-corrupted-data-partition-t2577447
The e2fsck command didn't do anything as cmd said "The superblock could not be read or does not describe a correct ext2 filesystem."
Afterwards, my friend told me to try mke2fs /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/userdata
I typed that in adb shell and something happened. I started processing blocks or something. Unfortunately now, I am unable to mount the data partition at all. I am also unable to flash the userdata.img onto my phone through fastboot.
UPDATE: When I open up twrp recovery and look in the log I see the following:
E: Could not mount /data and unable to find crypto footer.
E: Unable to mount '/data'
E: Unable to recreate /data/media folder.
Updating partition details...
E: Unable to mount '/data'
E: Unable to mount '/cache/
E: Unable to mount '/persist'
...done
E: Unalbe to mount storage.
E: Unable to mount /data/media during GUI Startup.
E: Unable to mount '/cache'
Full SELinux support is present.
E: Unable to mount '/cache'
E: Unable to Mount '/cache'
E: Unable to mount /data/media/TWRP .twrps when trying to read settings file.
E: Unable to mount '/data'
MTP Enabled
Anyone know how to fix this? Please help, I owe you so much if you can solve this! Reply to me if you're able to help, I'm also new to xda so I don't really know how messages work. Thanks!
Try taking it out and putting it back in. It happened to me too.

By sdcard I mean the internal sdcard (/storage/emulated/0). Nexus 5 does not have an external sdcard slot anyways.
So you are saying you have no apps, no widgets, nothing... /storage/emulated/0 is your main storage which INCLUDES your system files (unless you have a phone or tablet that has a separate internal SD card - would be /storage/emulated/1 ... I am guessing)
i had a spare sensation i was going to use as a backup.
earlier today it was running 4.4.4 , decided i would try 5.0.x clearly i made a mistake somewhere.
i have no access to /cache + /data
was using twrp 2.8.5.0
if i try and flash i get the following
e: could not mount / data and unable to find crypto footer.
e:unable to mount /cache
e:unable to mount /data
Seen a few simliar threads.... but am going in circles.
i can get phone into Fastboot USB and access if from the pc via adb. they i am lost.
Any suggestions gratefully received.
Hi,
i also have this problem. See my thread "[Q] Partition destroyed after power loss" below.
It looks like a problem with twrp2.8.5.0. on the HTC Sensation.
I've got the idea, to create new partitions on the device, but i haven't the time to do it. If you get any results, tell me please :=)

I started a RUU of stock and it kept sticking a about 45% ......
All i can get phone to do now is switch on with HTC in the centre of the screen with a Triangle in each corner.
Vol up/down make no effect at power on.
If i try and run 4ext install from pc , it reboots phone and fails on "writing recovery" by saying "remote: not allowed"
So im sort of stuck now ...
I am totally new to rooting, not sure what I've done wrong.
I started trying to root my SM-J727P by installing TWRP with Odin. This works fine, then I added the superSU v2.82 file to the device's microSD card. I went to install tab in TWRP recovery mode->select storage->Micro SD card->superSU.
Then when I try to flash it, a red message appears saying "Could not mount /data and unable to find crypto footer. Failed to mount /data (Invalid Argument). At the bottom it says "Failed to mount /system (Device or Resource Busy). Failed to mount /data (Invalid Argument.)
After this I read that I need to format storage.
I went to wipe->format data->typed yes and the same message appears, "Failed to mount /system (device or resource busy).
I'm extremely new to this so I don't really know what I'm talking about but do I need to disable dm-verity?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I now have manually mounted system and no errors showed, after tapping reboot system, the phone entered a bootloop. Not sure if this is supposed to happen or not and if it is, how long does it take?

This happened to me when I was doing my first root with samsung. What I did was completely start over with a new stock ROM and TWRP. Be sure you have all the right things ticked on Odin. What I had to do with my sm-j700p was un-tick auto-restart when done, and when the TWRP was done flashing, I had to remove the battery instead of wait for it to shut down. Then QUICKLY go into recovery mode by pressing the buttons after you turn it back on. Flash ROM. If I remember correctly, I was so good from there, but the timing with samsung when pushing the buttons apparently is EVERYTHING.
And making sure it is the correct TWRP file. I also made the mistake of picking the wrong TWRP file. Same model and carrier...different year of phone. Software version number is where it's at to get the best info.
Good luck!
