hi
at first i have to say my English is not good!!
i have a tf700 and last night i installed CROMBi-kk on it after that because of lots of apps that i installed in past it had lots of lag then i decided to wipe my data so i went to twrp and did a full wipe but in middle of that battery ran out. i install CROMBi-kk again but it stuck on boot logo!!!
i think there is no partition on it!!
UNFORTUNATELY I DON'T HAVE ANY BACKUP!!

Ignore the key driver message - we all get it.
So you /data partition is not in a recognisable format and cannot be mounted. Please format it in TWRP or from adb use this command when in TWRP (make sure MTP is turned off)
Code:
adb shell
killall -19 recovery
make_ext4fs /dev/block/mmcblk0p8
reboot
or in the bootloader use this:
Code:
fastboot erase userdata

In TWRP, go to wipe -> advanced -> format data. This can take more than an hour, so be patient.

I would try to boot a recovery image via ADB and try your luck from inside the recovery
if that doesn't work you should google fixes for "-E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/command " and see what people did to fix the issue on other devices
it's also quite possible your emmc is fried

[Q] make_extf4fs failed on /dev/block/mmcblk0p2

Hello guys
I think i have a partition problem with my internal sd card. If I launch cwm I get messages as follows:
Code:
E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/command
E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/log
E: Can't open /cache/recovery/log
E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/last_log
E: Can't open /cache/recovery/last_log
after i try to wipe the cache partition i get the error:
Code:

Error mounting /data!
Skipping format...
Formatting /cache...
E: format_volume: make_extf4fs failed on /dev/block/mmcblk0p2

E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/log
E: Can't open /cache/recovery/log
E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/last_log
E: Can't open /cache/recovery/last_log
I had the problem before and erased all partitions and reinstalled the stock firmware + cwm with fastboot.
Code:
fastboot erase system
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot erase boot
fastboot erase misc
fastboot erase cache
fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash system blob
fastboot -i 0x0B05 reboot
fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot -i 0x0B05 reboot
it worked fine, but after 2 days of use the device freezed 3 times in a row and won't boot up again.
I have the same errors again in cwm (or they just didn't go away in the first place)
I could do the process all over again, but i think it wont work very long.
(The tablet ran fine during the 2 days)
I'd like to reformat the cache partition to get rid of the errors that cause my tablet to freeze.
Can somebody help my pls?
Thanks

Stuck at fastboot screen, but can't flash ROMs

I've recently received a Mi4i device from a friend who messed it up a little.. This looks hopeless, but I thought I might get some insights from folks around here..
When I hit the power button, I immediately see the fastboot screen. I can still get into recovery mode.
I'm using MiFlash, connecting the phone, and the device is detected. I use "flash all" to flash one of the few mi4i fastboot ROMs I dug up from the web, install successful. Then, the device boots itself immediately back to the fastboot screen each time
I'm out of ideas.. Is there anything else I could try?
Nadav
It seems to be pressing volume keys all the time, hence might be going into fastboot mode

Download TWRP file and flash it via fastboot. Then try a custom ROM. While flashing the file you can try fastboot boot twrp.img to boot into recovery. Then when TWRP opens up it will grant access to the storage, copy the files for flashing a custom ROM, don't forget the firmware zip file too. Try this if it helps.

Is there any other way to flash TWRP via fastboot without using ADB? I had USB Debugging Off in my device, before it got stuck in a boot loop. I can only access FASTBOOT and RECOVERY .

Actually we don't use ADB to flash the recovery. We always use FASTBOOT. The commands are to be ran when booted in fastboot mode. Just make sure that all the required drivers are installed or the phone will reboot at FASTBOOT mode if it is not detected by your computer.

That's what is happening with me I think. I have installed all the ADB drivers required. When I go to Device manager, those drives show little yellow triangles with a !. I proceed to update them, they get updated but error code 10 shows up. Also, now my device isn't getting detected by my computer, and rebooting at FASTBOOT mode continuously. Sometimes, it does get detected by the computer. I enter into FASTBOOT mode and I start the flashing with MiFlash, then the device reboots itself. Please help.

Were you able to solve this problem?. I have the same issue since past week. MiFlash works, tried fastboot commandline flashing, device restarts to fastboot only.
loaded twrp, unfortunately internal memory 0mb.
Hi guys,

I've totally screwed up ferrari.
Scenario: I was on Resurrection Remix 5.8.5 For some reason, I've started storage encryption. Probably it wasn't successful, and on next reboot, I've got error "Decryption unsuccessful, your password is ok, but data partition is corrupted, blah, blah, blah. I've successful rescued my storage files:
Code:
boot into TWRP:
adb pull /dev/block/mmcblk0p36
then, mounted mmcblk0p36 partition file under Linux on my PC (example):
sudo mkdir /mnt/data
sudo mount /home/stiw47/mmcblk0p36 /mnt/data
Whoala, few files was corrupted, but all from android internal storage (my personal files) was rescued.
Ok. After this, I've performed factory reset on phone, but device going to fastboot, not in Android OS. TWRP says that /data cannot be mounted.
I flashed latest MIUI from fastbot
Reboot

You just erase or deleted files on your internal memory. But no biggie, just flash firmware with Odin (on windows) heimdall (on Linux).

Ignore the cpefs error, it's erroneous and will be fixed.
As long as you can mount data you are good.

Bootloader screen showing "Device is LOCKED" even though I've enabled OEM unlock in Android settings

Hi,
I've a Pixel (sailfish) that I'm trying to load TWRP and Magisk, and I'm unable to flash the recovery image as the bootloader page shows "Device is LOCKED", even though I've already enabled OEM unlock in Developer Settings. How do I unlock the bootloader?

Enabling the OEM Unlock option is the first step but it doesn't unlock the phone. It merely enables unlocking the phone. You have to use a specific adb command to unlock the phone. Since the command varies with models and I am not familiar with your phone, please search for the correct command on Google.
Thanks. I'm following this page - https://www.xda-developers.com/how-to-install-twrp/
I managed to unlock it with fastboot, but I can't seem to flash the recovery. I downloaded the TWRP image from https://dl.twrp.me/sailfish/twrp-3.7.0_9-0-sailfish.img.html and renamed it to twrp.img. I then performed the following steps as per the instructions from xda above:
booted to bootloader with adb reboot bootloader
Temporarily booted to TWRP with fastboot boot twrp.img
Copied TWRP image file to device with adb push twrp.img /sdcard
Go to Advanced->Install Recovery Ramdisk, select twrp.img and swipe to install
I get the following error
Updating partition details...

I tried to mount vendor partition, wipe and format the device and retry step 4 and made it a bit further (no more failed to mount '/system_root' and '/vendor' errors, as below, but still fails.

You can download both the .img and the .zip files. After booting using the .img file, instead of step 4 above, you can try Install from the booted TWRP and navigate to where the .zip file is and simply install it. That is what the TWRP page for Pixel recommends:
fastboot boot path/to/twrp.img
This will temporarily boot TWRP on your device. If you are using a lockscreen pin/pattern/password and do not get prompted to enter your passord, reboot to the bootloader and try again. Go to install and browse to the zip and install the zip. The zip will install TWRP to both boot slots. Installing TWRP at this time will remove root if you are currently rooted.

Damn...why did the xda instructions say otherwise?
OK so I managed to reflash to stock image again after the boot loop, and then I followed the TWRP instructions. I was prompted to enter the device password when booting up to TWRP temporarily, and was able to get to TWRP once I entered my device PIN.
After I installed the zip file, I get the following screen:

After this, it reboots to Android fine, but whenever I try to reboot to recovery, it goes to the white screen with the Google logo, then reboots to Android.
I'm using the latest TWRP for sailfish - twrp-installer-3.7.0_9-0-sailfish.zip.
Any ideas why?
