I accidentally formatted and unmounted my system on my N7000 in CWM v6 .0 .5 .0 but i can still access my external storage in installing a zip somehow. I recently successfully installed Lollipop beta 5.0.1 cyanogen based on my Note but then i wanted to go back to slim wizz rom because i missed that tablet feature . After re-installing the slimwizz tablet rom i accidentally formatted and unmounted my system and the slim wizz doesn't boot up. When i turn my phone on it boot loops from the lollipop animation and stays as such. Before i did the Slimwizz i used twrp - installed the kernel for slim wizz , rebooted and from CWM i flashed the Slimwizz then somehow while formatting cache, data and internal storage (cause i really didn't have anything in there anyways) i accidentally unmounted my system in process
What can be done to re-mount my system, various storages and data back? Also i can still access TWRP by installing the kernel zip from my sd card but its not much help since my loads are still unmounted in TWRP

Hi to all. First of all, sorry for my bad english as english is not my native language. I have a rooted ICS stock Android 4.0.4 running on Motorola Razr HD (XT925) (Argentina - Personal). Bootloader unlocked and Custom Recovery installed with no problems. I had full encryption on /sdcard and /data, too.
The problems begins when I try to install CyanogenMod, as Custom Recovery (and TWRP) cannot mount or format /sdcard and /data.
The ROM's anyways installs OK, but the problems begins when the different versions of CyanogenMod try to boot. This is what happened with the versions I tried (I was putting the .zip rom and gapps files on an external sd that is not encrypted (external_sd) ):
cm-10.1-20130723-UNOFFICIAL-epinter-xt925 (Android 4.2)
Installation from Custom Recovery ok. This version skips asking for the internal storage password, and is the only version that works. But the wifi on this version doesn't work and my internal storage is not accesible.
cm-10-20130421-UNOFFICIAL-epinter-xt925 (Android 4.1)
Installation from Custom Recovery ok. This version asks for the internal storage password at boot, but the keyboard crash when I try to type it (so I cannot finish the configuration).
cm-10.2-20130820-UNOFFICIAL-epinter-xt925 (Android 4.3)
Installation from Custom Recovery ok. This version asks for the internal storage password at boot and the keyboard works, but then the CyanogenMod boot logo appears and continue in an infinite loop (so I cannot finish the configuration).
Liquid-JB-v2.9-08142013-xt925 (Android 4.2) (not a CyanogenMod ROM but I tried it anyways)
Installation from Custom Recovery ok. This version doesn't even boot, I turn on the phone (the "M" logo appears) and stays there forever.
The only temporary solution that I'm on right now was to restore the stock rom (I made a backup with Custom Recovery).
It pretty seems that the root of these problems is that the device is encrypted, so the solution would be to "unencrypt" the partitions and format all the data that are there (I made a backup of the internal storage too, so I dont mind of loosing that data); but I searched the whole internet and couldn't find an answer that work. I tried doing a factory reset from the original ROM (Settings - Privacy Settings...) (didn't worked, because it tries to load the stock recovery and now I'm on Custom Recovery), tried using TWRP (some sites says it is capable to handle encrypted devices, but does the exact same that Custom Recovery does, it cannot format or mount /sdcard and /data, and never ask for my password), etc etc ...
Any ideas to format the internal storage or install a ROM that works well with encrypted storage? Any more information you need, I will be glad to tell you.
Thanks to all!
I properly installed CyanogenMod 10.2 at my Galaxy Tab 2 P5110. Tried to go to the Firmware Update at the settings and clicked Kit Kat. Everything was installing just fine, but suddenly it stopped. It said it had failed and I had to reboot the system and reroot or something like that. Accidentally clicking Go Back, the Tablet rebooted and kept going back to the recovery mode. I tried to Wipe Data/ Factory Reset and when it rebooted instead of the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 boot image, a distorted image appeared and took me back to the recovery mode. I installed CyanogenMod again through External SD card, because the Internal SD card showed nothing. It started to install and everything worked normally, except that I had forgotten to install GApps. I went to the Browser and installed it and the Download folder at the internal sd card in theory, but when I got back to the recovery mode, nothing showed up there. I really don't know what happened with the Internal SD card, I just know I can't access it...
Might be you need to format the memory not wipe.

you can found it in recovery > mount and storage if you're using cwm based recovery
do a format /system, format /data, format /cache, and format /data/media
carefully not to format /sdcard
then reflash rom and gapps, enjoy.
Today I flashed a rom and before rebooting, I wiped "internal storage" aka sdcard in twrp to get a completely clean start. After installing a few apps I noticed that the data in sdcard/android/obb and/or data/media/obb was not wiped. Is that a bug in twrp? Is it intended and if so, why? Are those file paths the same? Running latest twrp and cataclysm rom.

Hey there, you can use ADB SideLoad through TWRP to Transfer another custom ROM to your phone internal memory
i had this problem before
Hello,
I'm looking for guidance on how to restore my adopted storage (sdcard) after a TWRP recovery update.
I'm running CM 13.1 on TWRP 3.0.0. I've enabled my sdcard as adopted storage which has worked well so far.
Yesterday I've decided to update to TWRP 3.0.3 (without touching the OS or anything else) and afterwards the OS was complaining that my sd card is corrupt. I've restored TWRP 3.0.0, but I get the same error from the OS.
I can still access the sd card when the phone is in recovery mode, so I'm able to copy my photos and backups, but I'd ideally like to restore sd card functionality as is was before updating TWRP.
Any thoughts on what I've broken and how to fix?
Thanks,
