I give up on life (I tried everything to fix the god forsaken phone and loosing hope)

This is a tangent to the issue I had Situated HERE. I am seriously giving up on hope and want help for the love of god. Semester is approaching and I need a functioning mobile
After "fixing" my isssue and being on Lolipop 5.0.2, I realised that my SU binary wasn't present, So I reboot into recovery to realise that CWM isn't present anymore.
Not a big issue, I plug it in and flash TWRP onto it using fasboot commands.
Now i go into recovery and Install Superuser.zip trough TWRP. Then I decide to make a backup of everything. Afterwards I rebooted
The boot logo (The logo in which it normally mentions that Bootloader is unlocked and blablabla) Apears. But then it closes. Apears again but then closes once more. It keep doing than until I boot it into bootloader and close it once arrived there.
If I try to get into TWRP again it closes and continue the cycle.
So I flashed in CWM recovery with the intention to Flash the Stock lolipop ZIP that I done before (which fixed it).
When I boot CWM however, I am presented with a bunch of command lines at the bottom saying
"E: can't mount cache/logs"
and other lines (If you want the exact command lines say so and I will go get them). I didn't flinched to it (sometimes weird **** happens like that and I got used to it) so I go into the install from sdcard. I get this amazing message:
E: cannot mount sdcard
And all gui is not even present. I close the phone and start panicking
################################################################
In other words I need help. I will be checking this thread all the time looking for any help. I am giving up. faced such a problem in my life. I am scared that I bricked the phone for good.
Here is all I know about said phone:
KITKAT MOTO G 4.4.4 from canada (obtained from WIND mobile) most likely XT1034 (Its a mono sim)
The bootloader is 41.18
I used TWRP 2.8.6.2 for xt1032 (This is probably why everything exploded. I didn't realised it was for xt1032)
And I used CWM touch 6.4.0.7 falcon
MORE INFO WILL BE COMING, But I am extremely stressed right now to the idea that I might killed it.
#######################################################################################
#######################################################################################
Here are the CWM error messages
ClockworkMod Recovery v6.0.4.7
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
- Install ZIP
- Choose zip from /sdcard
E: can't mount /sdcard
-Choose zip from /sdcard
##CWM gui closes## only the command lines are showing.

################
Update 1. I calmed down. I searched the error message and found out that it could either be an issue with CWM being currupted. I will reflash it and bring details. If it doesn't work I will format cache (Wiping the cache seems to not work)
Formatting the cache seems to fix all the cache error messages. But the mounting of /sdcard still present an obstacle

Update 2
I did some research and found out that my sdcard might be on logical and not primary and a way to fix it is to use mini partition tool on it. I am hesitant to do this so I will search for other possible issues

Because I can't find it.
try to find a 4.4.4, xt1034 canada stock firmware, Not easy. I've look for around 3 hours without success.
I however found a flashable zip for it, so I need to make recovery work, Because to my knowledge you can't flash an entire zip from adb/fastboot
The site you provided doesn't contain the right firmware. I highly appreciate the help though.

####################################
update 3
I decided to try and sideload stock rom lolipop. Seems to be working. Will be updating the results.
Here are the result:
ON MOTO G
-Install zip from sideload
nothing unusual happens
ON ADB

Loads.....
Sends.....
"*failed to write data 'protocolt fault <Coudn't read status: invalid argument'* "
BACK TO MOTO G

If you look at the top of the thread you'll see a link pointing to the beggining of the file, The one who helped me told me to flash this exact file and made my moto to boot loop. Trust me, it's not the right one.

Update 4
I tried to restore stock firmware. Back to square 1.
Cache issues.... I fixed it
Can't mount /sdcard.... Can't fix it.
The logo is the only thing I see and whenever I try to close it by pressing the power button, it reboots into the logo screen.
The only way I can truly close it is by opening fastboot menu and closing it there.
WHY IS THIS HAPPENING IM LOOSING MY MIND
I beg someone, anyone, Help me...

Update 5 Final ****ing update ****
I wiped and formatted /sdcard with philz touch recovery.
It seems that I can mount the sdcard now but I can't flash any roms because it
"Failed to set up expected mounts for install"
I am seriously in the most depressed mood ever. I worked for 4 years in computer development and I never had this much trouble ever. I ****ing give up everything. If someone ever encounter this issue:
you are ****ed throw the moto g in the garbage its dead nada done.
If someone thinks the contrary tell me how I am supposed to fix this. I will check it in about 12 hours.

I will do anything that someone thinks is going to fix it.

So - after flashing stock firmware your device still won't boot?
How did you flash stock firmware?
Did you receive any errors while flashing stock firmware?
And you are able to flash a custom recovery (TWRP or similar)?

@lost101 can you help him brother. He is in dire need.....

@thegamerchunk1 - You need to try to relax - you are making things more complicated than necessary.
It's an known issue that making a nandroid backup in certain versions of TWRP will cause all this. You need to start again.
Stop trying random fixes and fastboot flash the firmware image for your phone.

I flashed it using fastboot. here are the commands I used

I recall seeing 3 errors. It was hours ago so I don't remember exactly where but it was before the system flashes. They were all similar error except for the end. Im gonna flash it again and see.
Yes I can flash custom recovery.
However I can't a right TWRP version for the phone. whenever I do flash it (TRWP 2.8.6.0 xt1032) and enter into recovery, the logo boots but closes right after
The only ones I could install were CWM and PHilz touch. But I can't install anything from sdcard because I either miss expected mounts (From formatting /sdcard/) or I can't mount /sdcard/.

Ok - after you retry flashing, please post those errors. May want to try using mfastboot instead of fastboot as well.
Also you could 'adb push ROM.zip' with a custom recovery, bypassing the sd card altogether, but I think you should get your device to boot first.

Moto G 4g bootloop, No O.S. error E: Unable to mount anything...

I have a Moto G 4G, with android 4.4.4 bootloop.
I can enter fastboot mode and TWRP recovery 2.7.0.1 . The recovery tells me I do not have any operating system installed. I get an error E: Unable to mount '/system' when i try to format/wipe, also can´t instal a new os from mfastboot and can not update the TWRP from mfastboot. Using ADB sideload allows me to load zip files but the cellphone is unable to mount any folder so I get an other error.
Any solution ?

Did you tried reflashing stock firmware via fastboot ?

Try to Mount system partition in Ur Recovery then Give a try.

Moto G xt1032 - TWRP Internal storage 0mb

Hi,
I have Moto G (XT1032) with Optimized Stock Rom 5.1 from this topic. It was alright couple of months, but today I woke up with my softbricked phone
It's stuck on Warning Bootloader unlocked, TWRP can't access any folder (although he see folder structure, so i guess it's good sign? :crying: ), all Internal Storage is displayed as 0MB, if I try to do anything I always get
Code:
"Failed to unmount '/system' /* /data etc. */ (Invalid Argument)"
Adb recognize device, but as unauthorized, when I start ADB sideload feature in TWRP, phone is recognized as sideloaded, but when i try to push rom it's say error: closed.
Can I somehow fix this phone, or is it permanent eMMC damage?

You have to give to Wipe/Format Data and Reboot/Recovery. Later go to wipe/avanced wipe and select: Dalvik/ART, cache, data and system.

And Reboot/Recovery just shutdown phone, I have to get to recovery thru Fastboot (Power and Vol down).

Have you tried flashing unoptimized factory fimware through fastboot? To do this, enter fastboot mode and then flash the factory firmware for your device from here.

Do you have TWRP or Stock recovery?

*URGENT* Tablet wont boot and is bricked

Hello my Nvidia Shield Tablet (original WIFI) is dead i think
I can get into fastboot and TWRP recovery.
TWRP shows Internal memory as 0mb and is unable to mount anything
I also tried flashing stock images but no luck as it keeps failing and tablet wont boot
Any solution? please help:fingers-crossed:

what did you do to get it to this state? try format data and wipe data in twrp. might take a few tries. could also try flashing stock in twrp rather then fastboot. I've seen similar on my phone (involves encryption error) but never on my shield.

Try reflashing OTA 5.2 blob as the blob is not just the bootloader but also the GPT partition setup too

Looks like you have corrupted the boot-loader then hence the issue you have, the chances of recovering from that is very slim. Best to speak to nvidia see if they can help.

Is there no way i can fix it? Probably not then aw

Only Nvidia will be able to fix boot loader issues as they have the magic key for lower level access.

Internal memory as 0mb, and failure to mount anything, often are signs that the internal storage has been corrupted.
Try going to TWRP Wipe section, and tap the button to "Format data". Obviously, you will lose your data. But your data is probably beyond that point, anyway.
Formatting the storage, will often fix corruption issues.

Mi4i Always boots to fastboot even after flasing rom. Download mode also not opening.

Hello,
I had Resurrection Remix Android 7.1.2 installed in my Mi4i. The apps were suddendly crashing (was getting app crashed alert) and thought to reboot the phone once.
Once I tried to reboot abnormality started showing up.
Tried flashing the Resurrection Remix again but it stuck at the boot animation screen.
Then tried flashing the official MIUI developer rom and it worked.
Again tried with RR but it did not boot up.
After trying a couple of times, none of the roms did boot up.
After some research found in TWRP logs that it is unable to mount system, cache, dalvik cache etc.
Also I could see that the space/memory is displayed as 0MB.
Some forums said to format the file system as ext4 and even the format failed saying it is unable to mount.
Now whenever I start the phone to goes to the fastboot screen.
The interesting point is that I tried flashing manually the developer rom and it said it falshed successfully.
But i still see the twrp as my recovery and not the stock recovery after flasing.
Also tried manually flashing the recovery like "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" and did not find any errors still the stock recovery was not flashed instead the twrp remained as the recovery even after successful flash.
I am stuck with my phone now and not sure how to proceed.
Any help regarding this would really be helpful.
Help me to recover my phone please. :crying:
Thanks.

So have you format all of your data including internal data from TWRP ? Is it show some error like "unmount /data" types N how you flash rom manually means you tried of ADB slide load ??

1. Tried formating the partitions from TWRP.. Failed with error message saying cant mount
2. Hence thought TWRP was broken.. Tried flashing twrp again from fastboot as follows :
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Fastboot flashed successfully(got OKAY response in terminal).
3. Rebooted into recovery and tried formatting partitions again. Still got the same error saying cant mount partitions.
4. Thought to flash stock recovery. Had miui fastboot room. Picked up recovery.img from it and flashed from fastboot as follows :
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
5. Surprisingly when I rebooted into recovery, the custom recovery was still twrp.. The stock recovery didn't got flashed.
6. To crosscheck, I directly booted the stock recovery fastboot boot recovery.img. But nothing boots up.. Gets stuck at the distorted fastboot screen (Attaching screenshot if possible).
