hello,
I am new to android. I by mistake wiped all data including system and what so ever. SD card was also not mounting so I put rom images in pendrive and tried to install it via OTG it was showing some error "/system and ... are not found or someting". So I again restarted, but it is not starting up. Also recovery is not staring. I tried to flash recovery again it is showing " MISMATCHED partition size (recovery)" Can anybody tell me what to do !!!!!!!!!!!!
:crying:
The mismatched partition size error is not necessarily bad. The custom recovery file size is not the same size as the stock recovery which gives you the error message. The message doesn't mean the custom recovery won't work.
Then what shall I do?? See I tried to flash stock rom via fastboot, but it is showing "<bootloader> Permission denied " as my device is showing UNLOCKED .
What bootloader is on your phone? Downgrading the bootloader version on your phone may not be allowed.

I tried to install xtrasmooth but i got the error: error executing updater binary.. On croma i got an error about the system partition...
Already tried to wipe and reboot to recovery and unmount system partition.
Are there any special instructions for the 16gb variant?
I remenber that on my oneplus i got the same error message about the updater binary, i fixed it flashing a zip that changed the device name...
Update your recovery (TWRP I hope ) and your bootloader to HHZ12h.
So I got a hold of a retail G930x and was successfully able to install TWRP and factory reset with a stock image, only problem was that I never turned off the FRP lock, and when the phone was restarted while updating SuperSU my recovery was blocked. OK, no problem, just flash a stock ROM through Odin mode right? Well for some reason G930AATT1APB5, and G930FXXU1APB4, do not seem to work. At one point I was able to partialy boot into the stock recovery, but at another flash attempt my computer blue screened and I received the error message "An error has occured while updating the device software. Use Emergency recovery function in the smart switch PC software", but Smart Switch returns an error message of "Device Not Supported". I can still boot into Download mode and attempt flashes, but I can't seem to find a working ROM for this phone or a solution to the stock Recovery issue (which is most likely corrupted by now). Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you.
edit:
edit: so I flashed a recovery image file from ROM.G93xF.XXU1DQFM-v18.0.by.ambasadii.zip and was able to get to the stock recover screen. Unfortunately i get an error message saying "Failed to mount E: /system (Invalid Argument)
Update from external storage is disabled.
Tablet: GT-P5100
Recovery: TWRP 2.8.5.0
ROM on tablet: CM 12.1 (at least i think, cannot check)
What happend:
After a failed update (could have been low battery) i got the message in safemode that encryption had failed and i had to factory reset.
What did i do:
Rebooted into recovery and tried to factory reset. That failed. With the error message the /data failed to mount.
Since the data on it was unimportant i followed a fix that suggested changing the partition type to something else then EXT4 and then change it back to EXT4.
This sadly also failed.
Tried flashing the original ROM with Odin, but while it started (could see progress on the computer and tablet) it failed at system.img (upload got stuck after 50% i think and failed after a while)
Any ideas? its an old tablet which i mainly use to fill in web forms while i'm working and check manuals. So if i destroy it now its no big deal and i will get a 2nd hand 3g/4g one for cheap.

Nothing changed. Still same TWRP recovery and encryption failed message. In TWRP its still *****ing about unable to mount data
Updating partition details... Failed to mount vendor (invalid argument)
The error above is one I faced today and I resolved. I decided to share this in case anyone else runs into a similar issue. There are very few ways you could end up unable to correctly boot a partition but the most common is a bad flash. In my particular case, it was my own stupidity, and it could have been a lot worse given that I mistakenly flashed a vendor image file to /vendor/ except it was for a completely different device and not meant for the Moto x4 (basically got confused between files from another project).
The result of this was that my phone could not technically boot on its own. Neither into a GSI/ROM or into Recovery either. I saw the first "Android One" logo, followed by the message warning that my phone was unlocked, followed by the second "Android One" logo, which was all normal up to that point, but I would remain forever stuck at that screen. I could thankfully reach the bootloader screen, but again, since I could not boot at all, I could not even boot into Recovery from the bootloader screen.
Thankfully, because I could still reach bootloader I could temporarily load into TWRP using fastboot
Code:
fastboot boot '/your_path_here/twrp-X.X.X-X-payton.img'
From here I uploaded "Copy Partitions Zip" - courtesy of @filipepferraz https://drive.google.com/file/d/1oiry9UfP2tf-5A6nQBF7pn2t2eSGKt0F/view and installed
Rebooted back to bootloader and while at bootloader, I loaded the Android 8.1 firmware - courtesy @ptn107 https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=890278863836292604
From bootloader, I reloaded the bootloader again
This alone did not resolve my issue. I once used fastboot to temporarily load TWRP
Code:
fastboot boot '/your_path_here/twrp-X.X.X-X-payton.img'
Installed TWRP https://dl.twrp.me/payton/
Installed LineageOS ROM -- It must be a full ROM and not a GSI. It must be specifically made for Moto x4 and not just a generic GSI (stock rom for example)
Reinstalled TWRP
Reboot
During the installs, you may still see the error. Ignore them as they will go away after the reboot. This will resolve such issues should you ever face them.

Hi all,
When installing TWRP on my daughters tablet I have accidentally flashed boot instead of the recovery with the TWRP image on the tablet using fastboot.
After I realised the error I have flashed TWRP to the recovery partition and rebooted the tablet to access TWRP.
When I was in TWRP I have wiped the data partition and flashed the lineage os rom for this tablet.
First error I noticed was E: legacy property environment did not init successfully, properties may not be detected.
Installation appeared to run properly but in the end I got a lot of E:Unable to stat '/data/.........' messages.
When rebooting TWRP asks to install SuperSu which also shows the same kind of error messages.
At startup I get the Lenovo logo and afterwards only a black screen which is turned on (in the dark you can see that it is active)
I am currently unable to access the fastboot environment, when rebooting using power and volume down it looks like the tablet is in fastboot mode, but when connected to the laptop it shows up as MTP device.
Fastboot or adb itself does not show any connected devices.
When rebooting after the Format data option in TWRP and installing an image I get the following errors :
E:Unable to find partition size for '/recovery,
E:Mount: Unable to find partition for path '/emmc'
E:UnMount: Unable to find partition for path '/emmc'
E:Mount: Unable to find partition for path '/emmc'
I have tried to flash the tablet back to stock rom with the Lenovo/Qualcomm downloader tool but that tool hangs at the Sahara stage and does not proceed after detecting the tablet.
Does anyone have an idea I can try or is the tablet bricked ?
TWRP version is 2.8.7.0 and I am able to access the recovery.
ROM's tried are lineage-14.1-20170520-UNOFFICIAL-x103f.zip and RR-N-v5.8.5-20171113-x103f-Unofficial.zip
USB debugging and bootloader were unlocked in the developer options on the tablet.
I ave rebooted to the bootloader from TWRP after trying another flash, still having a black screen.
In device manager I am now showing Lenovo-HS-USB Diagnostics (COM20), Lenovo HS-USB NMEA (COM21) and Lenovo HS-USB Modem Phone.
Still no luck with adb or fastboot.
Hope someone can help,
Kind regards,
Klaas-Jan
To revert to Stock
You could try the method indicated in this post. Please read the post thoroughly before proceeding.
Note that in step 4 you should be looking for the model number of YOUR tablet.
I have not tried this method myself yet, so I don't know if it works. As always you do this at your own risk, but as your tablet is not working, you may wish to give it a try.
Good luck.

The errors look like the ones I got when I installed the TWRP posted here. There's something better available. Have a look on my post
