I seem to be having a ton of issues after getting my phone back from my wife. I can't get /data/ to mount unless I format it as FAT, but it won't format as ext4 or anything else. I tried flashing stock, but no dice. I did manage to get PA and CM up and running but I get a message telling me my storage is encrypted, and I definitley don't have a password. Factory resets dont help because if it tries to format /data/ it'll never finish. I let it run for hours even.
Is there any creative ideas I can try? I really can't afford a new phone, so I need to get this fixed, and I was defintley under the impression that if you can get into bootloader/recovery, then it is not bricked .

This sounded genius, I would have never thought to try this. I took it out and rezipped the folder, but it still tried to erase the cache and stopped there. Is there any way to stop it from trying to erase the cache?

When you flash something using fastboot it'll always erase. Try erasing cache without flashing, "fastboot erase cache"

Try locking your bootloader:
fastboot oem lock
Then reboot it with:
fastboot reboot-bootloader
If it still shows as unlocked after the reboot, then your eMMC is dead/damaged and there isn't much you can do other than RMA or motherboard replacement

I tried locked and unlocked and no go. I guess it's actually unfixable. What a waste of time.
I would ask Google for a replacement, but I am guessing that's not going to be free with all the tampering I did, and plus I live in Canada now, after buying it in the States.

If you bought from the Play Store they'll replace it regardless any tampering, if its a real hardware fault. If you know anybody in the US you should be able to send it to them to RMA. Not sure if you can give Google a call from Canada if you bought it in the US, though
Wow. Google was so nice when I called. They're going to replace it for free and do shipping to and from Canada, because I did buy it from the US Play Store. Thanks for your help Lethargy. So glad to not have to try anything anymore.

guess its hard to read.
Today I was facing a 4.4.3 issue so I've thought about doing a factory reset to see if this fixes it. So I've gone into Recovery and run a factory reset. Strangely this was taking so long, so after 2 hours I've decided to stop it. I know that stopping this process is not recommended, but I've considered it was getting out of the reasonable range. I've rerun it and same problem, so after 3 hours I've stopped it. And I've thought about restoring the factory image. Unfortunately the process get stuck in the "erasing cache" step:

Just fastboot flash the cache image manually without erasing it.

Well, as a first step I'd like to at least have the phone functional.
These are all the steps I've followed (the bootloader is unlocked):
Code:
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-hammerhead-hhz11k.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
sleep 5
fastboot flash radio radio-hammerhead-m8974a-2.0.50.1.13.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
sleep 5
fastboot flash system image/system.img
fastboot flash userdata image/userdata.img
fastboot flash boot image/boot.img
fastboot flash recovery image/recovery.img
fastboot flash cache image/cache.img
And then what I said before: select "Recovery" and then press Power Button + Volume UP. And it get stuck on "Formatting /data...".
I don't know what the recovery is doing. Try and flash a custom recovery like philz or twrp. Then fast boot flash it
Then fastboot flash the system, boot, cache and userdata and then see what happens.. If it boots etc

I've been able to recover the phone back to stock with TWRP. You've been really helpful, thank you!
One last question: how does one manage to return to a stock image, stock recovery, locked and untampered device? Following these steps I'm able to do it all except for the recovery.

Those steps are for someone who has returned to stock and forgotten to reset the tamper flag, so the recovery they are flashing is a custom one.

I might be missing something, but on the signature's guide, in the last step (Locking your bootloader+ Resetting the tamper flag) it uses TWRP to install the zip file that resets the temper flag, and this process lockes the bootloader as well. I mean, after doing this you don't end up with the stock recovery but with TWRP.

In the steps he doesn't flash TWRP. He boots to it.
fastboot boot recovery.img
as opposed to
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
That means you have stock recovery already installed at that point and you do not replace it.
There is also an app called BootUnlocker, which resets the taper flag from within android (With root) so you can just use that. I use that and mine is constantly showing as not tampered

You're absolutely right, I took it for granted it was necessary to flash it before using it. My phone is now 100% recovered, thank you so much!

No probs
I flashed a modified 44s ota over a 33r ROM (stock) file to my device and lost the ability to boot. Whenever I try to flash via fastboot I get the error: "FAILED (remote: partition table doesn't exist)"
Does anyone have a way of repairing this? Would love to start using this device again. Thanks in advance :good:

Do this at your own risk:
Go into fastboot and flash 38R. (Available at current time on cygen's site) Flash everything including userdata. Reboot and you should be at the home screen. Then when you are here ota update through settings. Not recommended to modify ota, just do it after the ota if possible. (You might have to unlock the bootloader to follow this guide)

I don't think that's going to work, he's borked his partitions. And the modified OTA wasn't technically the problem. The problem is that he flashed an OTA on top of an incorrect preceding build. It should have gone 33>38>44 but instead went 33>44. Because it was a modified OTA with a modified installer script, the safeguard that would normally stop such a mistake from happening had been disabled. Modified OTA's are perfectly fine, as long as you take them in the right sequence.

He still has access to fastboot which means he can reflash stock firmware.
Not with borked partitions.

Shouldn't it work with the Official signed 44s Fastboot Image that was released yesterday by Cyanogen?
Not if the partitions are borked. It can't flash to a partition table that doesn't exist. It's like trying to serve dinner onto thin air, it has nowhere to go.
Transmitted via Bacon
And there will be no way to repartition? Guess that something like using parted should work on nand, assumed the right partition tables are known...
It's possible, but getting it done can be tricky. I myself have zero experience in trying to repartition.

Note to self: triple check the version numbers before flashing lol
Sorry op I have no constructive feedback

@timmaaa you were correct I attempted that and it failed. I resolved my problem by flashing calkulin's stock mod 44s. I've come across another issue now. Occasionally the devices screen won't come on at all. I'll have to completely reboot the phone for it to work. Is this an issue on 44s or is there another problem under the hood?

I am running CM11 nightlies, and this issue happens to me (and also on my nexus 5 using milestone builds) ONLY when I am using the Ondemand governor. If you're using that, try changing and see what happens.
Ah yes I am using ondemand. I switched it from interactive last night. Didn't think of that thanks I'll test it.

Hello,
I need some help with a Oneplus One that is stuck on the Cyanogen boot image. I bought this for cheap thinking that I could fix it, but 3 hours later still no luck. I have access to TWRP and Fastboot, which made me hopeful, but no access to the storage on the device.
1. TWRP: I can’t mount /data, /cache/ persist (shows E:Unable to mount ‘/data’, etc). I can mount /firmware or /system.
Trying to sideload a bunch of different roms gives me this in the command prompt:
Code:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot>adb sideload cm12.zip
loading: 'cm12.zip'* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *
error: device not found
2. Fastboot: trying to flash individual files with fastboot gives me “remote: flash write failure”. I’ve also gotten a “partition table doesn’t exist” error.

I messed up my One by deleting stuff I should not have... it would not read the internal "sd card" memory at all... so nothing would flash to the phone. I had fastboot and TWRP working. I tried this kit and it only partially worked for me, but did get recovery going. What I did get to work is by connecting an on-the-go cable to it and put the files to flash on a flash drive. The phone will find it in TWRP if you set it up to read the OTG cable. Then flash away something that will boot up... then go from there with the ROM you want to use. Using the Caulkin's ROM mentioned earlier will get it at least running. This worked for me, and may work for you too.

That won't work in this situation, he hasn't merely deleted everything, the partition table is borked.
Thanks for the reply. I'd previously read that, but thought it didn't apply because I have fastboot and recovery. I'm trying it now, but I can't get the device to show up in Device Manager. The phone goes to the charger screen when connected and it shows up as MTP USB Device. I tried seeing if it would show up on the downloadtool.exe he mentions, but no go.
Hi,
A friend asked me to look at his Nexus 5.
It seemed as though his son was trying to flash a custom rom but somewhere along the way things went wrong and it got stuck on the boot animation.
I tried resetting it to factory using this thread.
Followed method 2 and finished it up with "Wipe data/factory data" reset. I did not however relock the boot loader.
I used the factory image 6.0.1 (MMB29S).
Everything went well, no errors, but even after doing all that the phone is still stuck on the boot animation. I tried redoing the "Wipe data/factory data" reset, but the phone is still stuck on boot animation.
I left for around 20 minutes with no change.
All the other threads I have read seem to indicate doing the "wipe data/factory data" reset should correct this issue but it hasn't seemed to help.
I also found this thread. The last post could possibly be another option.
Is there anything I can try? or is there a log I can look?
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers
Boot the phone into fastboot and flash the userdata.img from the stock rom to the phone using the following command: fastboot flash userdata userdata.img. After flashing, boot into stock recovery using the volume and power button, wipe data and cache, reboot.

I was just looking at the contents of the zip I downloaded from the developer site. The data stamps on the images seem old. Most date back to 2009. Perhaps I have downloaded the wrong files?
Did the userdata.img file come from the mmb29s ROM? After flashing, did you immediately boot into recovery and perform a factory wipe?

Yes the userdata.img did come from the mmb29s ROM. I have no other ROM files downloaded.
Yes I did I believe, if I recall correctly, these were my steps:
Booted phone into fastboot by pressing the power and down volume key
flashed the userdata.img using the command provided
Used the volume rocket to select "Recovery"
When the dead Android appeared I pressed the power button and up volume rocker to display the menu
Proceeded to the option to wipe and reset data
Rebooted the phone
I am pretty sure those were the steps I used.
Should I have rebooted first before going directly into Recovery?
Yup, those are the proper steps.
When you wiped in recovery, did you see a line at the bottom that said something like "invalid format" or "could not mount" just before the data and cache partitions were formatted?

No I didn't notice any error messages unfortunately.
And I don't recall seeing any error messages during any of the other steps I have performed.
The commands all seem to successfully execute with no errors.
Does it at all make sense for me to go back and completely redo all the steps from the tutorial in my first post?
I can post the outputs from all the commands if you think that would at all be helpful?
I personally use method 1. Method 1 will cause the phone to reboot after flashing each partition and will probably cause the phone to be stuck at the boot logo. Press and hold the power button to force the phone to shut down. After finishing method 1, boot into fastboot mode and type these fastboot commands:
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot flash userdata userdata.img
Boot into recovery. At the bottom of the screen, you should see the statement "E: failed to mount /cache (Invalid argument)". Choose the wipe data/factory reset option, then select wipe cache partition, and reboot.

Okay perfect. I will give method 1 a try tonight (I am unfortunately at work right now).

Everything seemed to go okay.
Does everything in the output above look okay?
Everything looks fine. Did you boot into recovery and perform a factory wipe after flashing userdata.img?

Yes I did do that and did the clear of the cache as well since it posted that error message like you said it would.
So I did both as you explained.
I took a picture of the phone itself after the userdata wipe.

Hmm, I'm not sure what is wrong because you did exactly what I do every time I need to fix a bootloop.

Well that sucks!
I had read that in some cases this can be caused by a hardware issue. Any chance it could be that?
Btw, the links I provided to the stock Google images, were they the correct images?
These are the stock images: https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images#hammerhead
Did you try flashing a stock 4.4.2 or 5.01 image too?

hi,
sorry for my late reply. I got sick and just didn't have it in me to try anything new.
I tried flashing 5.0.1 tonight and unfortunately wound up in another boot loop. I will have to try the steps again where you manually reflash userdata. Hopefully I will have time tomorrow!
Hi
My phone has the exact same problem as stated by OP. I even tried flashing kitkat and lollipop but the problem persist. The phone still stuck at boot animation screen. PLS help.
Boot into ffastboot, relock the bootloader, and then reboot into fastboot. Does the bootloader remain unlocked?

The bootloader is now locked. Still, I can't boot the phone completely. stuck at Google boot animation.
At this point, I would conclude that something is wrong with the memory chip.
So I decided to flash the latest factory image available for the N5 today. I was running Build MOB30Y. I did it using Nexus Root Toolkit and I chose the 'No Wipe Mode', it says that it failed. Here's the exact error:

Now when I boot up my phone it goes into the black screen with 'Google' on it then it turns off for a second then back to the Google screen and then it boots into custom recover (TWRP). What can I do to fix this? Thanks in advance.
Manually flash the ROM in fastboot.

Is it possible to do that without wiping my data?
Yes, just don't flash userdata.img or wipe.
Before flashing, you might want to use twrp to back up data or copy files to your computer, then flash.

Thanks! Hopefully this works. I've never done anything with fastboot though. I'll look it up later.
I have not used kits to flash stock rom, I always do it manually to learn the process.

Much appreciated! I think I'll start learning how to do things manually now. Thanks again.
