[Q] Xoom TWRP/Wingray 4.4.4 no longer boots, won't mount storage

My rooted Xoom seems to be unable to read the internal storage. Does anyone know if there is a way to recover?
Here are the details:
I have been running Wingray on my Xoom for about a year, and everything had been working fine until the last couple of weeks.
It would frequently not wake up after it went to sleep, and I would have to restart with the Power-Vol+ combination.
Yesterday, it finally would not load android at all. It displayed the animated graphic indefinitely.
I booted and started TWRP, which loads successfully. It prompts me to enter my password. Since I didn't use one, I cancel this.
When I look at the log, I see:
E:Unable to mount '/system'
E:Unable to mount '/cache'
E:Unable to mount '/cache'
...
E:Unable to set emmc bootloader message.
I then tried to format.
After typing 'yes', the log shows:
Formatting data using make_ext4fs...
E:Unable to wipe '/data'
E:Unable to format to remove encryption.
Updating partition details...
E:Unable to mount '/system'
E:Unable to mount '/cache'
E:Unable to mount internal storage
When I try to mount storage, I see:
sdcard (12772MB)
Internal Storage (0MB)
My PC does not recognize when it is powered on while connected.
Does anyone have any ideas whether or not I can get this functional again? If so, any suggestions would be appreciated.

[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 '/persist'
...done
E: Unalbe to mount storage.
E: Unable to mount /data/media during GUI Startup.
E: Unable to mount '/cache'
Full SELinux support is present.
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'
MTP Enabled
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)

Nexus 5 turns on but cannot access anything

I have a Nexus 5 rooted and running Catacalysm 5.1.1 Lollipop (Sep 27, 2015 Stable final release)
Yesterday while I was on my phone all of a sudden it froze for a couple of seconds and then restarted.
When it booted it says "To start Android, Enter your Password"
I can type in literally any password and it will go to the next screen and say
"Decryption Unsuccessful"
The password you entered is correct, but unfortunately your data is corrupt.
To resume using your phone, you need to perform a factory reset. When you set up your phone after the reset, you'll have an opportunity to restore any data that was backed up to your google account.

Then the only thing I can select is "reset phone."
The thing is I never encrypted my phone. I don’t want to do a factory reset as I have some things in my phone that I need
When I go into recovery this is what I get:
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’
…done
E:Unable to mount storage.
E:Unable to mount /data/media during GUI startup.
Full SELinux support is present
E:Unable to mount /data/media/TWRP/.twrps when trying to read settings file.
E:Unable to mount ‘/data’
MTP enabled
E:Unable to mount ‘/data’
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Also the internal storage shows 0 MB.
When I go into backup these are the sizes that are shown:
System (882MB)
Data (0MB)
Cache (12MB)
Boot (22MB)
EFS (6MB)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I’m using TWRP
I was wondering if anyone ran into this issue or knew anything about what is going on in my phone.
Is my phone dead? Can I get it to work again? Is there any way I can access the internal storage and retrieve my files?
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you

TWRP Internal Memory 0MB - Samsung S7 Oreo 8.0 ( SM-G930FD)

Hi All,
I am trying to root Samsung S7 Oreo 8.0 with TWRP & Magisk. But, when ever I log into TWRP it's saying "Inernal Memory 0MB)
I've followed below steps :
Installed TWRP and no-verity-opt-encrypt zip, it worked until I reboot to system
After reboot again the internal memory showing as 0MB (may be re-encrypted)
Is there any way that I can remove the encryption permanently?
Error :
Could not mount /data and unable to find crypto footer.
Failed to mount '/data' (Invalid argument)
Unable to recreate /data/media folder.
Updating partition details...
Failed to mount '/data' (Invalid argument)
...done
Unable to mount storage
Failed to mount '/data' (Invalid argument)
Full SELinux support is present
Unable to mount /data/media/TWRP/.twrps
PS : I've gone through the forum to find different solutions, but nothing working to remove the encryption permanently.

yes, it is possible. is use it all the time with my stock android. give me some time to write it...or maybe someone other can tell u. u already used the search in this forum?
an other question, u really need an unencrytped internal memory?

Thank you.. Am not exactly looking for unencrypted partition. Am just confused whether it's expected to format data and no variety everytime or is it just one time for root?
Also I gone through the threads to find fix for this issue. But most of the people are suggesting to format data.
Any other better ways? Can we take backup of existing ROM from TWRP without root?

i am using a stock firmware by telekom, it installs some features after first flash and first reboot (maybe ur firmware does not need step 3, so my second reboot is ur first reboot into download mode)
1. flash stock firmware
2. first reboot
3. install for provider reasons and then
4. second reboot (important: into download mode)
5. flash twrp
6. third reboot (important: into twrp)
7. flash zip-file (attached to this post)
8. reboot and wait....
now u should have an unencrypted system. the only thing is, u need to repeat these steps on firmware updates.
