Hello, I would really appreciate your kind help solving a bit of a problem I have with my Moto G 4G
I had a problem with my google account where it wouldn't sync anymore and play store sopped working (says no connection even though is there).
Since I already encountered this problem before and solved it once by formatting cache, and data I tried to go into Recovery.
Here the oddities begin: TWRP doesn't load and gets stuck on splashscreen;
I searched for it and read that formatting cache and userdata would solve also this problem, so I guessed that formatting them from bootloader would have done the trick.
Unfortunately when I enter the command fastboot format cache or fastboot format userdata I get this:
formatting is not supported for filesystem with type 'raw'
Are some of my partitions corrupted?!
How can I solve this??
BTW I can boot into system and all is fine except the problem with the google account that led me to these findings.

Have you tried reflashing TWRP through fastboot, like this
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recoveryimage.img
You could then wipe, or format these partitions in TWRP.

I tried that already, albeit just reflashig TWRP 3.0 and not other recoveries... it didn't work, still keeps getting stuck at splash screen :crying:
Did you use
Code:
fastboot format cache
or
Code:
fastboot erase cache
Because the format seems to give that error and erase should not.
UPDATE: After reading your post it says you did indeed use format, not erase, so use
Code:
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase userdata
Thanks, unfortunately it worked to solve just the recovery getting stuck, and I f*ed up other things in the process.
I still can't access to Google accounts, or create another, says connection error with google servers.
Since I had the SD card as internal storage before, erasing userdata caused the SD card to not be recognised anymore... I could format it to solve the problem, but I didn't have a recent backup so now I also need to try recovering that data. I know. I'm an idiot.
The strange thing is I even wiped Cache, Dalvik, Data and System and proceeded to flash a new ROM, and google account still doesn't work
There are so many variables that could be causing the Google account issue. Although, did you flash the stock rom or a custom rom?
I flashed 6.0.1 custom rom, Resurrection Remix
Google account issue got solved by simply doing another wipe and ROM flashing.
Now I have to deal with the corrupted microsd card issue I caused when i erased userdata...
I don't want to format the card before I can restore the data that was in there, there's still important stuff there, and last backup is too old.
When I'm in recovery with the phone connected to PC I can see the drive and windows says it has only 590MB of free space from a 7.42GB total; problem is when I open the drive it says it's empty.
When I put the microsd in a card reader instead, it does get a drive letter assigned but when I try to open it windows asks me to insert a disk.
Data is still there, it didn't got wiped with userdata... did it?!
I tried the method described in this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4/general/guide-internal-memory-data-recovery-t3093292 to recover mmcblk1p1 and mmcblk1p1p2 but the recuva scan I did to the generated virtual hard disk reported no deleted files and just the file indexervolumegrid in system volume information folder.
Now I'm going to try to use testdisk to see if i can repair the partition, but i'm no expert so I'm not sure how to do that.

Unfortunaly the erase userdata command will also erase the internal SD card. This is because the shared internal 'SD card' is actually stored under the userdata partition, in /data/media.
Im not a data recovery expert, but i believe that recovering data deleted on solid state media is much more difficult than a magnetic disk. Also, that tutorial appears to be for a Samsung phone, so those are not the correct partitions.
As for repairing the partition, the userdata partition, and the /data/media directory inside it, is recreated when booting into a ROM.

Yeah, I can't find anything even with testdisk.... I am at a loss, fortunatyely the lost data isn't mission critical, nevertheless it forces me to repeat many hours of work.
Going to format the card.
Sorry to hear that. Although I suppose it's a good reminder of the importance of regular backups.

Im having a trouble reflashing a ROM. During my efforts to fix my horrible battery life problem by doing Odin back to stock and reflashing DK ROM something else has gone wrong.
I go to to Recovery and I tried to wipe data and Reset to Factory
it says
Formatting / data......
Formatting / Cache....
Formatting / sd-ext....
E:format_Volume: make_extf4fs failed on on dev/block/mmcblk1p2
Formatting/sdcard/.android_secure....
Data wipe Complete.
It also says, sd-ext.img not found when I restored my Nandroid backup. Not sure whats going on here...
When it restarts, its still the same old rom with everything still there, just with user data wiped like my google login. How do I fix this? I have already Odin back to stock, rerooted and CWM and am still getting this issue. Could this be contributing to my terrible battery drain?
Nothing wrong, that's normal.
ROMs on phones that didn't have enough local space to install any real number of apps, etc (think Nexus One, or HTC Evo 4G) used to create a second partition on the SD card. This partition was formatted to ext4 and mounted in place of stuff like /system/apps or /data, etc..
Nandroid simply tries to format the partition if it's there, and obviously it isn't. I doubt anyone here has that partition. The sd-ext.img would be the image file nandroid would create if you did have the partition and you backed it up.
But the problem is I cant flash another ROM without doing the factory reset, and when I do factory reset I get that error and the new ROM isnt flashed.... I have never had this error before when I flashed DK originally, or on my last Blaze phone. I need to fix this issue so I can flash a different ROM, or next newest update to this ROM.
You've got some other problems then, because I get that error all the time and have for some time on all sorts of phones.
Once the /data partition is formatted, your wipe is complete. The /cache is good stuff too... once you see those two lines, you are all resetted.
If you nandroid restore, you're going back to what you had.
So why wont it factory reset then? Everytime I do factory reset in recovery, it shows all my files and stuff still on the phone. It never completely wipes my phone. I dont know what to do or what the problem is...
Is there a certain way everything is supposed to look in mounts and storage? Whats supposed to be mounted or unmounted? And what should be formatted?
Factory reset doesn't wipe your sd card. For that you have to format it from the settings menu.

Can you explain how to do that?
I beilive he means in CWM, under mounts and storage, format /sdcard
Sent from my SGH-T769
No, I meant in android. I'm sure a quick Google search would turn it up, but here goes: Settings -> Storage... you'll want to unmount first, then format.
SD card = removable card
USB Storage = internal storage
Just remember, this will destroy ALL your data on whichever you choose to format. Everything, your pictures, music, etc...
i had a recent soft brick in which for some reason, i couldnt decrypt, with this, i couldnt load anything on android besides twrp and fastboot.. when i try reformatting and wiping data, it seems to fail.. for example, i go to format with twrp and it hangs, if i try installing anything itll fail to load any data onto that partition.. if i could reformat that partition back to its useful state, without the encryption issue i could reinstall a rom and fix this issue
any ideas?
when i attempt to do anything in twrp.. i get this error

Your partition is probably encrypted. The only way to access to your data is to decrypt it before you can do anything. Do you have a password for it?

when i attempt to format data, format fails, it will not let me touch the /data partition, when it does mount, it mounts as read-only.. the partition itself, possibly partition table or something is damaged because it cannot be formatted and nothing can be written to it
it would seem like the internal storage is screwed.. but the other partitions seem to work fine, even able to use command-line from twrp to check fstab and try to mount manually... im not sure how to completely delete and recreate a partition in fdisk, if possible on here

You could try running "/sbin/make_ext4fs /dev/block/mmcblk0p8" manually from adb shell.

You can't use fdisk on the internal storage - it uses a combination of GPT and a proprietary partition table.

the errors i receive are above..trying different things ive received the error that the partition is write one... are there any tools for redoing the entire internal storage?
maybe this could work.. since the other partitions seem to work just fine, as they were not encrypted, what if i edited fstab to mount partitions on a MicroSD card pre-partitioned to act as /data and /cache, then install a rom... unless there are ROMs designed to utilize an external SD for installation?... either way if i can work around these two partitions i could get into a working android system where i can find more tools to assist in removing and recreating those broken partitions
ive considered trying to use fastboot to replace the twrp recovery with a stock asus recovery partition and try to fix the issue from that, but i doubt that would be of any use

Instead you should try it cause i'm pretty sure it will fix your partition.Just install the stock recovery and do a Wipe Data first. If all goes well you can go ahead and flash a stock rom from MicroSD or install the TWRP again and check if it's working.

If you follow the link i posted previously you will find the stock recovery (from the latest asus firmware) as an attachment to that post.
After you flash it via Fastboot, do a Wipe Data from the bootloader menu (the one with the 3 icons) after that just follow "restore with stock recovery" procedure from my All in One Thread (it's a sticky post under General Forum).
That should fix your issue and get you to a new clean starting point.

well, ill try that as soon as i wake up.. if it doesnt work though i am prepared to install something thatll run those partitions of an external microsd though.. wonder why no roms exist specifically for that?... seems like an ultra-secure rom for the ultra-paranoid to be able to pop out their microsd and hide it with all user data stored on it

Data2SD already exists.
Did you already try to format your data partition from adb shell?
data2sd seems to be something thats applied after a rom is successfully installed, not sure that would help me
anyway, i tried the stock recovery image and it just hangs on an android graphic with a rotating blue wireframe inside its chest and a blue progress bar, but it doesnt actually do anything else
edit: wait a minute.. i see how this goes with the data2sd... i download a data2sd kernal, since i install cleanrom i can add this to the installations list of kernals, the data2sd kernal will mount external SD cards as the /data, cache, and sdcard partitions, allowing me to bypass the issue im having completely and use a 64gb microsd card as my primary storage... very interesting indeed
aah, fantastic, cant even get into fastboot mode to put twrp back on for the data2sd method.. so it would seem now my tablet is COMPLETELY toast

I see, that's forced boot to recovery because of "wipe data" selected from the bootloader menu.
I don't know how long wiping data takes, maybe you are just not patient enough to let it finish?

APX mode is only useful if you have nvflash, the wheelie tool, and the blob file for your device, which you'd have needed to create with firmware 9.4.5.26 or earlier and the hacked bootloader from androidroot.mobi.
Hello,
That last night I wanted to flash a new ROM from 4.4 to 5.0.1.
I had some bugs, like my full SD card, therefore i installed nothing like apps or pictures .
So I try to re-flash the ROM again after a factory reset.
But, i can not reflash since it has wipe my SD card ..
So I managed to reconnect my phone and flash a recovery.
However, when I install a ROM (official google, or custom), it no longer detects my SD card
when the flash rom: E: unknown volume for path / sd-ext.
I try everything, I do not know how to repartition as originally my SD card.
I hope she is not dead as impossible to get out of my phone ...
I manage to mount the SD card, but still the sd-ext partition that does not exist ...
I just followed here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/goo...o-repairing-corrupted-data-partition-t2577447
everything works, but again, the sd-ext partition ..
I manage to get to the bootloader, recovery, I can flash a ROM anyway!
However, when I want to take a picture / install / sms .... I get an error "No SD card" or not avaialble space.
I need your help, since yesterday I have no phone ..

Easiest way to solve is just to flash a factory image - follow ALL the instructions on this page: https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images
Have a read of RootSU's post about file system issues after updating - explains how and why this happens, and how to fix. I would just do the above though, just so you know you're totally back to stock.

Your best bet is to read those threads, find any lost backups and wipe storage via TWRP

Go to /data/media/0. That's where everything should be. When you're in /data/media/0, you shouldn't see any more "0" folders. If you do, take everything out of those "0" folders and put it all in /data/media/0
So for example you should have your photos in /data/media/0/DCIM. If you have /data/media/0/0/0/0/DCIM, obviously that is wrong.
Sometimes its easiest to wipe everything a d start fresh so copy any data you want to keep to PC, then flash the 5.0.1 full factory image, wiping your device back to default completely.

You didn't do the commands I said. The erase was important
You would need to fastboot flash a custom recovery and either flash a custom ROM from that recovery or flash SuperSU from recovery depending if you want a new ROM or just root
i didn't do the command, but as you can see in the screen, just after "fastboot flash system C:/image-hammerhead-krt16m/system.img"
there is : "erasing system.. OKAY"
So i think it's good no ?

Great news. Thanks for letting us know
No SD Card
Sorry if wrong thread but, my problem is:
If I'm in twrp it sees the sdcard and all things on it.
In system it doesn't see the things on the SD card.
Please don't return that I have to do a factory reflash.
If I try to download sth. It gives a toast "No Sd Card" .
I can't take it out because I've got a Nexus 4.
Pls. Help me.
ill keep this simple. tried to advanced wipe data and cache with TWRP which returned an E:/ unable to mount for both data and cache. internal storage is now saying its 0MB after i "fastboot erase" on as many of the partitions it would return success with (ie, what was mounted) flashall is asking me for a specific device.
How do i reset the internal partitions so they become mountable again? i believe in erasing the ones i had, it has deleted them altogether and i need to flash original firmware to get it to auto restructure (im guessing)
EDIT: so i downloaded this (link not allowed) i just dont know how to implement it through adb or fastboot
somewhere i read that the latest moto PQ versions for CWM and TWRP both have some selinux problem when wiping data, causing a force unmount (parroting. i DONT know what im talking about)
the first time i installed with CM11 with twrp (after CMW only allowing me to install 10.2) it worked great, except google play and whisperpush(whatever that is) crashing consistently. i should have used 'fix permissions' instead of going for a wipe+re-install
please help, what commands do i need to use through fastboot to restore the partitions, or where can i get the fxz file to use with RSD?
this is a brand new out of the box Sim-modded and pre-rooted PQ
SOLVED (i think)
god im so ****ing stupid.
due to corrupting the file structure and not being able to mount the cache or data partitions, when i installed CM11 snapshot it picked my external SD as the data storage /android/data/
FIX: unmounting and removing the external SD i rebooted to system, booted back to recovery. -> factory reset.... auto reboot, cant mount messages, then a second time it said SELinux supported message. ->factory reset again and finally no red messages, wipe to system (got an error, but probably cause system = external SD). i then inserted the external SD, installed the ROM and everything looks normal and working right
TWRP will restore file structure with 'factory reset' BUT ONLY IF you remove your external sd
i hope this thread saves time and headaches for someone.
I searched for an answer and noticed it's a common issue. I am trying to flash a kernel on to my already flashed rom. I was wondering if there is a more current fix. More importantly, how can this be avoided in the future. Thank you guys!
Its caused by a bug/error with either the filesystem or encryption.
Did you wipe data after flashing the new ROM? Data from stock usually doesn't work with custom ROMs.
Do you have a PIN/password on Android?
Are you using the latest build of TWRP?
Press the menu button at the bottom of the screen in TWRP and post what the error message is in the red text.
It's caused by no root access

Something is probably wrong with the data partition. TWRP should always have root access.
Try in TWRP:
Wipe > Format Data > Slide to format
This will erase the data partition, so backup everything to a PC in Android first if needed. It should allow TWRP to mount /data again.

I've debated on doing this. I'm not worried about losing pictures texts etc as they're backed up.
I read that it essentially leaves the device with no OS. If that's wrong please let me know!
I have found that if I choose Slot A and reboot system it reboots me in to TWRP. If I choose Slot B it runs the OS like normal (except I still have issues using Facebook and it's services).
The ROM works and I can perform all the custom mods on it. I just want to flash a kernel and the problem persists. 0 mb in storage.
It's trial and error at this point. Fail fast fail forward. I have another phone I can use but I love the OnePlus. Any help will be appreciated!

I'm not willing to risk it until I know how to get the custom ROM on to the storage to flash it.
Yes formating by typing in yes will wipe it all,everything including pictures, with no rom on it at all. If u choose to do that, don't close twrp. Instead you should be able mount after wards, once mounted transfer the magisk zip, twrp, and your custom rom(has to be 1.5gb not 200mb through magisk). Flash magesik, install ram disk twrp, install rom. That was a method I've done before but if u want to keep everything there is other way
fastboot boot twrp.img, that command boots twrp if u have it or don't, installing to ram disk makes it permant...this boot command is just a one time thing each time. It's what I do when new firmware update, I loose root but I regain it each time
Never heard of formating data removing the OS, that would be if you wipe the system and normal wipe is like a factory data reset and therefore will not wipe your phone of the OS

I attempted to format. It said
"failed to mount /data (device or resource busy)
"unable to mount storage"
Try this in recovery, sometimes its known to work.
Wipe > Advanced Wipe > Check Data and press Repair or Change File System > Change File System > Change it to EXT2.
Repeat the same process selecting Ext4
Wipe > Advanced Wipe > Check Data and press Repair or Change File System > Change File System > Change it to back to EXT4.
Try formatting data after this.

Since you dont care about the data on the phone I would just do 1 of 2 things. 1st I would reflash twrp on to you phone if that doesn't work then I would just grab the fastboot ROM and just flash your phone back to full stock reroot and install twrp from scratch. I would not try to start repairing partitions. I wouldn't want to worry about screwing up the EFS partition
Well in an update, I formatted the
Storage and now I'm stuck in bootloader screen. It's unlocked but I'm having a hard time flashing a ROM through adb.
I use the twrp version 3.3.1-2
Best would be to just use fast command to boot it
But it should be under wipe/format data/then type in yes
That was what I was trying to have you avoid. If your can boot to fastboot download the fastboot ROM I told you to and run the flash-all.bat file. If your on 9.5.8 make sure you use the fastboot ROM of the same version. Do not flash azip of a different version firmware like 9.5.7.
It happens to me any time I'm in twrp and flash a rom then reflash twrp. It doesn't matter if I flash Magisk or not the issue always happens. What I do is use a USB C flash drive and plug it in when I want to flash/backup a rom. This way I can always access it. After flashing any rom then booting I'm always able to access my internal storage again. It seems like a bug in twrp.
The strange part is when this bug happens your files are encrypted in a 0 folder but you can still copy from your PC to your internal storage while in twrp.
I essentially soft bricked my device. Called OnePlus and they got me up and running. That's awesome that they have that service!
Are you removing all security? Pattern, pin and fingerprints? Are you decrypted? Never had an issue with flashing a ROM causing these issues which is why I'm asking. Something you've done at some point is causing this
I'm not sure what that was. Ironically enough I am now stuck in TWRP boot loop. Hopefully I can figure this out otherwise I have to call oneplus again.
I will admit I may not know everything but it's trial and error. I don't have anyone to really teach me this so I try to read the forums and learn. You guys have been great!
