[Q] HELP! Stuck in recovery and SD won't mount

Alright, I'm still running 4.1.2, and I used the 1-click method to root, unlock, and flash CWM recovery. Everything was going fine, until I got into recovery and all I'm seeing is
E: Can't mount /cach/recovery/command
E: Can't mount /cach/recovery/log
E: Can't open /cach/recovery/log
E: Can't mount /cach/recovery/last_log
E: Can't open /cach/recovery/last_log
If I try to click "choose zip from sdcard," I get
E: Can't mount /sdcard/
I have tried formatting the sdcard on another phone, but that didn't seem to help.
If I try to reboot, it boots right back into CWM recovery.
EDIT: Ok, I booted into Odin mode, then when it loaded into that I canceled, and it booted into the OS....wow. So, that doesn't explain the SD card not mounting in recovery though. I tried TWRP and it did the same thing. When in the actual OS the SD card mounts fine and can be browsed, etc.
I reflashed TWRP just because I'm more comfortable with it...it doesn't boot loop. Just have to get it to see that damn sd card.
EDIT 2: Alright, it seems I'm just answering all my questions tonight lol. I flashed the modded version of TWRP from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2391616
Everything is great now!

all you had to to was format the cache.
But that's OK, glad you got something working.

[Q] Z5s Mini stuck unable to mount..?

Hiya XDA,
Bit of a problem here at the moment, tried flashing to CM11, then wifi didn't work, so restored back to MIUI. Now I'm unable to flash anything.
I need a bit of help to wipe the phone clean and re-install a rom.
I switched from CWM to TWRP recently.
Positive:
1. TWRP v2.6.3.0 is working.
2. Boots up to logo.
3. Win7 PC sees phone as ROMaster Composite ADB Interface
4. adb devices:
List of devices attached
NX403A recovery
Negative:
1. Factory Reset: Gets stuck (able to power off and return to recovery)
2. Wipe sdcard (internal):
E: Unable to mount '/cache'
E: Unable to mount '/system'
etc.
I'm stuck, can anyone possibly help me please?

put the zip file of firmware to microSD card (can be done with SD-card reader
+ insert SD into your device and flash ("install zip from external SD card")
///CWM or TWRP have to support external SD

[Q] My Internal sdcard is corrupted! Please Help!

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 '/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'

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)

[Completed] How to protect a portion of internal memory during OS install?

So, I have a Sprint HTC One (M7) that I tried to root following this guide:
http://www.xda-developers.com/how-to...-developer-tv/
Custom Recovery was flashed successfully (I tried both TWRP 2.5 and CWM 6.0.4.6), and I immediately got the following errors:
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
E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/last_install
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/last_install
I can't access /cache, in short. So, I tried to find my SD card, but my phone doesn't have a slot for one, and I couldn't figure out how to write to the virtual one inside the phone, so I selected "Install zip" option in CWM and passed SuperSU-v2.46.zip through sideload, and it failed when it couldn't access cache. I was then rather foolish, and tried to just flash a ROM from Android Revolution HD, found on this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2265618 (I used this particular ROM:Android_Revolution_HD-One_92.0_4a9d05.zip).
Again, I passed it using sideload because I don't have an SD card. The install formatted my partitions, then at 30% (when it began to copy files), it failed. Thus, I was left with an empty phone, but an unlocked bootloader. I tried a few more things, to no avail.
I think if I could figure out how to put something in the virtual SD inside, or somehow protect the install files from being overwritten during the install, that might get me there, since I'm guessing that it's formatting over the location of the installer/image. Also, I found that if I use the "Wipe /cache" from CWM, I don't get those access cache errors, but then I can't reboot into the recovery without flashing it again, so I'm guessing that it's saving it in the /cache partition. I use the command "fastboot flash recovery CWM_image.img" to put my recovery in there, which may be a part of the problem.
Anyway, any ideas or help would be nice. I know enough to be dangerous, but clearly not enough to get myself out of this mess. Any help would be appreciated, and at this point, it would just be nice to have any OS on my phone. All HTC recovery software fails because they require a locked bootloader, but my computer won't detect a phone with no OS and a locked bootloader...

Mutlirom Recovery Update---->Bootloop

Hello all
I just updated the multirom recovery after a year of successfully using it with 4 different roms, which 1 of them is ubuntu and now am stuck in a bootloop.
Whatever rom I try to boot it kicks me back to the rom selection screen. It must be something wrong with multirom recovery because even when I select to boot into bootloader or even Shutdown the phone from the multirom menu it just bootloops to the same screen again.
I'd really appreciate any kind of help you can give, it's extremely important I don't lose my roms. I want to save the phone as is.
Any ideas? Would really appreciate it.
-Regards.

I can't install any version of Multirom through twrp recovery. It always gives me error 7.
I also can't install a new rom. It says "Failed to create rom folder(Read only file system)".
I flash the AK kernel succesfully but at the end it gives me these errors:
E: Unable to mount '/data'
Failed to mount /data partition!
Updating partition details...
E: Unable to mount '/data'
...done
E: Unable to mount storage
Click to expand...

Is there something rom with my file system?
Please, any idea would be really appreciated.
