Seeking help to solve an issue with the SM-900H. Most of the time when the phone is booted into recovery by either the button combo or a recovery reboot the partitions (usually cache and data) are not detected in recovery, it will say they cannot mount. The partitions are all correct in the fstab file. Sometimes they will mount properly with no problem. I have not been able to figure out the exact cause of the issue. Happens in both Philz touch recovery and TWRP. Offering $300 for someone who can figure out or may already know the solution.

I had given my phone for service they had to fix the volume buttons..
Now when i got it back, i am able to fast boot and it recognizes but in the recovery (TWRP) i am not able to flash any rom. errors while wiping as well. unable to mount E:\\ system. unable to wipe as well as flash rom.. please help
First things first, I'm a newbie when it comes to all these.
I installed CM11 after much effort, but some things didn't work out well so afterwards, I installed CM12.1* (FXP-cm-11-20150301-UNOFFICIAL-taoshan).* But then I decided that I wanted to change my Gapps Package, so I went to recovery mode once again to wipe my phone and install CM12 all over again.
The thing is that for some reason I just couldn't wipe it (no error message) but I was able to log in back to the system (CM12).
I messed around with a few settings and finally I decided to install twrp 2.8.7.0 through the flashify app. I rebooted to recovery, tried to wipe again my phone and then, all hell broke loose.
I realized that I cannot wipe internal memory of all things, and cannot install any new ROM. Can't flash another recovery either through windows flashtool like CWM 6.0 Philz touch, for example. Well, it does flash but my phone keeps on logging into the twrp recovery. I also can't flash my original fft (obviously). I can't do really anything besides messing around with twrp options (and I've messed a lot with them). I'm all out of ideas, so please someone help. When trying to wipe internal storage, the following message appears:
E:mkdosfs /dev/block/mmcblk0p32 process ended with ERROR=1
E:Unable to wipe '/sdcard'.
E:Unknown MTP message type: 1
E:Unable to wipe '/sdcard'
I have the whole log, for anyone interested.
Please help and remember, I'm a newbie.
Thank you.

Thank you for your answer my friend, but I actually managed to fix my problem just moments before you posted your answer! What I did was to flash the cm12.1 recovery nightly which logged me into this recovery (although it seemed all messed up and.. broken). Nevertheless, I managed to flash the CM12.1 ROM from there and everything worked fine!
Bro #immortalwind.. I'm having the same problem exactly what you had. Seriously fu***d up with all with boot loop @ recovery. Could not able to hard reset / factory reset at neither CWM nor TWRP. Tried all knows possible ways. Please could you help me here. Any1 who can halp me here pls...
P.S: literally not moving from the boot load, so flashing a ROM could not be possible i think. any other suggestions please.....

Just reflash stock ftf. You'll be good to go. If that fails, check drivers and downgrade flashtool. After that, normally, install a boot image with a recovery, install your rom gapps, reboot.
Managed to flash.ftf... Thanks for the help friends.

Hi @all
my TF101g sudenly got into bootloop at Eee logo. I can get into TWRP, get ADB connection to PC, tried everything I could find here in forum (PERI etc), but nothing helped.
At trying to format Data partition with ext2, I get an error. It seems that my Data partition is corrupted in such way that it can't be formated.
Any ideas what could I try?
Can I flash a stock ROM somehow?
I can flash from TWRP, but it does not seems to work. Tried KatKiss 4.4.36 (this one was installed at the moment of sudden bricking) and Android Revolution - none goes passt the Asus logo.
P.S. forgot to say how it happened - it rebooted at connecting it to the power source and after reboot got into loop.
Maybe you can go to twrp wipes, advanced wipe and than only click on data, than on the right "repair or change file system" I dont know why you wanna format to ext2? All my stuff is ext4, but I dont know if I changed it in the past.
TWRP wipes didn't help, and now it is too late to do anything. I tried to flash stock ROM, and I've lost TWRP. Now I have just the boot loop and no ADB, nothing.
weird, can you try to repair it in apx mode? (Volume Up & Power when the tablet is off). Maybe to flash stock rom again, or install twrp.
In 2013 i had the same problem in my tf101g, not did have solution here in xda, and not have. I tried solve the problem with myself. I not remember more. But, you will have to format your partition for ext4, then ext3, then ext2. In adb. Put in recovery, and go to pc. I not remember the codes. I will try to remember.
Hi mendez,
I found that solution too here in the forum, but it didn't work. I always got an error at formating, something about value too large.
Moto G XT1031
Unlocked bootloader
So I have a few dozen Moto Gs. I'm always running into problems with them, but this problem is new. I had originally used CWM on this device for backups and rooting. Phone died and a put it in the drawer for months. I took it back out to mess around with it and see if I could get it going again. However, I can't get TWRP onto it. I've tried erasing recovery via fastboot, it says it worked, but when i boot into recovery it's still CWM. Inside CWM itself, I get lots of "can't mount cache" errors. So when I try to wipe anything inside CWM, it just freezes.
I was able to boot directly to TWRP via "fastboot boot twrp.img". However, none of the wipe tools seem to do anything. Factory reset, format data, advanced wipe... they all go through with no errors, but the file manager still shows that all my original files are still on the phone.
i have same issue with xt1033 but instead of cwm mine is stock recovery no matter what i do with my device everything stays same seems like it went into write protection have u got any fix?
Oh dear - it looks you two have suffered from the read-only eMMC brick. You can try repairing the phone with this tutorial: https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/help/how-to-unbrick-moto-g-falcon-t3394788
If this fails though, your phone needs to have its logic board/motherboard replaced. That said, it does make me want to ask one question: for those who have suffered from the read-only eMMC brick, what eMMC chip do those who have suffered from this bug have? Is it a Samsung or a SanDisk eMMC chip? I think it is about time to do a survey here.
Hello, thanks for your help.
It seems I bricked my galaxy s7 while trying to format the /data partition.
I installed TWRP 3.2 and a custom rom, and everything went smoothly until then.
I tried installing an audio mod which throwed a " can't mount /data" error, searching for solutions I read that formatting the data partition to fat and back to ext4 should solve the problem, I tried formatting it to fat with TWRP, however on the first try I got a message that it suceeded, followed by a message that /data could not be mounted, TWRP seemed to be still working (there was no reboot button or any other buttons, just a "working" bar). After giving the phone 3 hours I decided to restart it, now I can't access TWRP; it stays on it's "splashcreen", and of course the phone won't boot.
I'm having a rough time with this so I will appreciate it a lot if you can help me.
Thank you.
Boot to download mode, flash stock firmware using Odin, then retry the TWRP installation.
For wiping data, you have to make sure you use the wipe option that makes you type out 'yes' to wipe, the other factory wipe methods don't actually properly wipe the partition.
iirc you also then need to flash the dm no verity zip from the TWRP thread.
Bro you didn't have to do anything but just formating the phone in the first place. Aassuming you're on oreo , it happens to a lot of people and myself, after flashing a kernel twrp was unable to munt data, all i had to do is a data format in twrp that fixed the problem .
