[Q] Need Help Restoring Partitions - Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi folks,
I've gone and royally f-ed up my wife's phone and she's none too happy. . . . It started with a bad CM12 update and it's just gotten worse.
Somehow my partitions are all messed up. I can get fastboot and get to recovery (had to re-flash TWRP). However, when in recover, I get all sorts of errors like:
E: Unable to mount '/data'
E: Unable to recreate /data/media folder
E: Unable to mount internal storage.
E: Unable to mount /data/media during GUI startup

Does anyone have any thoughts? I'm guessing that the partitions got hosed somehow, but I have no clue how to create them. . . .
Thanks,
Chris

Have you tried flashing the stock firmware yet?

Flashing stock firmware will help
If u r on lollipop bootloader then don't flash 4.4.2 firmware

Can't install new rom

Hey
I already tried to install 3 different version of roms and all of them have the same issue. The problem is "Status 0" .
I have recovery ClockworkMod Recovery v3.2.0.0. When I'm tried to change recovery for 4EXTRecovery v2.1.3 RC2 I recieve error "Status 7".
I tried few guides but with no success.
I tried wipe reset(wipe factory reset) but nothing help me.
Any ideas?
Thanks
After a quick google for "status 7" it seems either the rom you have downloaded is damaged, or its incompatible with your phone.
What roms have you been trying, and are you sure they are compatible with Desire S?

sounds like a fried eMMC chip to me.. there are plenty of threads about this. Did you at any point remove the battery while the phone was on?

Yes I did remove the battery when the device stack.

See my signature Fried eMMC Chip? for a link to a long thread which contains a series of commands that will determine whether you do indeed have fried eMMC chip or not.
From the numbers of users that are currently encountering this problem it does seem to me that you can get these errors without necessary having one, so don't panic just yet.
Although I'll be completely honest I haven't yet discovered how to resolve these errors...but am working on it.
EDIT: hadn't read properly.

[Q] Help will be appreciated.

...Samsung galaxy s 4g.....Long story short i failed at flashing a custom ROM and bricked my phone (my phone kept boot looping..idk if it's considered bricked)...i searched up how to unbrick using odin and it worked. The guide told me to flash this rom to my phone:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1063696
Everything went fine but when i go into the android system recovery <3e> i get this:
E: Can't Mount /dev/block/st1ll
(invalid argument)
E: Can't mount CACHE:recovery/command
#MANUAL MODE#
E:Can't mount /dev/block/st1ll
(invalid argument)
E: Can't mount Cache:log/recovery.log
E: can't open Cache:log/recovery.log
E: Can't mount /dev/block/st1ll
(invalid argument)
The phone starts up and everything but i cant do a factory reset anymore (i would like to revert to un-rooted stock firmware) and any application i try downloading from the market is unsuccessful.
Any fixes/suggestions. Your help will be appreciated.
i'd re-flash again. get 2.3.4 and make sure you wipe cache/factory reset afterwards. use odin 1.85
Can you give me some links reliable downloads? they would be appreciated.
what rom are you trying to flash?
You need to flash The pit file along with the PDA it will fix that

[Q] HELP!! GT-i9100M STUCK IN SAMSUNG SCREEN

Hello!! This is my first post and I was hoping someone will help me. I have a GT-i9100M locked to bell that wont boot. It gets stuck on the SAMSUNG splash screen. I am able to boot into recovery and download mode. But every time i boot into recovery mode i get the following error
#MANUAL MODE #
--Applying Multi-CSC...
E: failed to mount /system (invalid Argument)
can't mount '/system' (invalid Argument)
E: failed to mount /system (Invalid argument)
Im assuming my /system partition got corrupted. After doing lots of research, I have have tried to wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition, and re-install the firmware through Odin but didnt have any luck. One thing i should mention, is that Odin doesnt show me that my device is connected. Should i attempt to reinstall a new ROM with a bootloader? Im completely lost. If anyone got any idea what i could do to revive my phone. Ill greatly appreciated.

bricked a converted Gpe trying to install 4.4.4

hi
phone: moto g xt1032 16gb global gsm, converted to gpe 442
problem
i downloaded the 444 ota from MEGA, installed using an old version of philz, then phone bricked (can´t start the OS)
sure, i know how to restore to stock moto g or gpe via ADB FASTBOOT, and off course i did, but the same happens, stuck at google logo, nothing happens, with both roms
i guess the partition got corrupted, or something very wrong happened with the 444 files, corrupted bootloader or something
i wanted to sideload an update using latest philz, but pc does not detect the phone while in recovery, tried to install the driver but nop, can´t be detected in custom recovery
so........help?

Very similar problem here. I updated to 4.4.4 via official OTA, but I had the glorious idea of restoring it later to a stock image. Now I can only access fastboot and recovery (TWRP in my case). TWRP indicates that my system and data partitions are nonexistent, so my guess is that the OTA changed the partition table. The only solution I can think of is waiting for a 4.4.4 factory image, which will fix the problem since it would have the correct gpt.bin and motoboot.bin
Maybe you guys will know the answer to this:
I'm on 4.4.3 moto firmware right now on my XT1032, but I want to go 4.4.2 GPE. What do you think, will this conclude with a bricked phone or not?

I would advise you to wait for a 4.4.4 GPE image.
That'd be a wise thing to do, but I didn't.
Everything went fine, and I've written all about it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=53798598&postcount=666
still bricked
if only i could install the driver when the phone is in recovery, but i can´t
cannot be detected for some reason
fastboot drivers works fine, but not in recovery

I made a method to recover your phone for use! Sadly, you will only be able to use custom ROMs (at least until there's a 4.4.4 image)
Check it in my thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/help/recover-4-4-4-downgrade-brick-temporal-t2801946
No working fix at the moment.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/mot...4-4-bricked-phone-fixed-t2803869/post53879298
well i tried everything and still bricked
used stock recovery, philz old and new, and twc? recovery,
flashed some partition file some guy posted
used sideload, push,
flashed stock moto room 442 and stock gpe 442
used paranoid android, cyanogen, and even i have a full nandroid backup from a working moto g gpe 444
but no matter what, there is no partition so there is no way to write anything on /DATA
the best i could managed was the booting logo of cyano and paranoid, nothing else
100% brick
i just hope gpe 444 images get out someday and they work
use it here
had the same problem
http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/development/rom-4-4-4-gpe-using-philz-recovery-t2806546
The problem is that it seems impossible to get this backup in the right place. Cwm does not see the files.

[Q] Recover for a bricked Moto G?

Hey guys.
Today I wanted to downgrade my MG from 4.4.4 using a batch file with 4.4.2 files using fastboot.
Everything except gpt.bin and motoboot said Okay. These 2 failed :/
It didn't boot so I tried to flash TWRP and install a custom rom but every recovery says
E: cant mount system
E: cant mount data
E: cant mount cache
E: cant mount sdcard
In short, nothing mounts
When booting it up nothing more than the motorola logo shows up!
Did I **** up?
Yeah, u soft bricked your phone,but you van try wiping all partitions and flashing the stock ROM using the adb.
