Hey there!
I have a problem: My wife's WIKO rainbow 3g suddenly showed this message:
She pressed the button several times, but nothing happened.
I booted the phone into stock recovery and tried to wipe /data, but then it says "mount /data error! Force format /data". It looks like it starts to format, but after a few seconds it ends with no message at all. Tried to reboot afterwards, but now it is stuck in the "Rainbow"-bootscreen.
Tried to update the phone using the WIKO software, but the phone isn't recognized anymore.
It's still on stock recovery, as it isn't rooted yet.
Is it possible to root the phone and install a custom recovery in stock recovery mode? Or is there any other way to make the /data partition accessible again?

hey guys,
today i took upon the task of rooting my first android device and installing cyanogenmod on it. i first installed fastboot and then clockwork for rooting. all went fine then i installed cyanogenmod. after the installation said it completed succesfully i restarted my tablet but now it just stays at the lenovo logo during booting. i still can get into the clockwork mod recovery menu. i already tried wiping data/cache both to no avail. i can also still boot into fastboot when i turn on the tablet and hold the vol+ button but it doesnt do anything.
i really, really hope i didnt brick on my first try, if anybody got ANY clue, i would be more than thankful
ok i fiddled around a little bit more and formatted /cache, /data and /emmc in hope of removing anything that might prevent my tab from booting. after that i got the stock recovery menu again from which i tried a factory reset. however, when the tab tries to install factory data it says it failed. luckily i have an sd card with cwm on it so i can boot into it again.
i think that somehow the files needed for a factory reset are damaged or gone. i will try flashing a new rom when i get myself a cardreader, i just used the a1 as mass storage until now.
I installed CWM on my Mele A1000 and I was able to reboot into recovery mode using adb.
At which point I got the CWM menu where I was able to install files from SD, wipe cache etc...
After installing all the files (Cyanogen) I rebooted, now when the device starts all I see is the
Cyanogen splash screen for a few minutes and then a message indicating:
Encryption Unsuccessful. Encryption was interrupted and can't complete. As a result the data on your tablet is no longer accessible.
To resume using your tablet, you must perform a factory reset. When you set up your tablet after the reset ....
This message looks like it's part of the standard Android system.
Since CWM is installed I should be able to access it in order to install something else,
but I cannot figure out how to reboot in recovery/cwm mode. There is no hardware button other than the power button on the Mele A100
I found an image for a 'rescue system' here: forum.doozan.com/read.php?6,9396,9396#msg-9396
Which boots a version of Linux and allows me to mount the internal storage of the Mele,
but I still have no idea how to force it to boot in to CWM Recovery.
If I could boot in CWM recovery I could restart the entire process and try again.
I am a relatively new android user but do enjoy flashing roms, kernels etc
My problems began when i was trying to flash a new rom on my Nexus 5
I was trying to flash this rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2655722 but despite doing a factory reset and wiping the dalvik cache and cache it refused to boot in to the new rom
I tried to flash the rom multiple times but without success, eventually when trying to boot into recovery to try again i was greeted with an unthemed TWRP recovery asking for a password despite the fact that i had a custom theme and multirom installed I tried to proceed anyways but was greeted with E: unable to mount storage
In desperation i tried to solve this problem and found this

TWRP asking for password
After unboxing my Nexus 5, here's what I did:
1. Booted into bootloader
2. fastboot oem unlock
3. Flashed TWRP v2.6.3.0
4. Booted to recovery
The screen that greeted me says "Please Enter Your Password".
I can hit the cancel button below this which takes me to the normal TWRP screen. I then pushed SuperSU to /sdcard, but when I flash it it fails because it's unable to mount /cache or storage.
When I reboot to the system, it takes an awfully long time (approximately 30s) to progress past the "Google" screen, and then it just seems to sit on the booting animation forever.
Any help?
EDIT: Solved my own problem.
Hit cancel at the password screen, then go into Wipe and then do a factory reset by swiping. Then go back into Wipe and press the 'Format data' button. You have to type 'Yes', and it will take a few seconds. After that everything should work normally.

I now fear that i maybe without both a rom and all my files such as my music that was stored on my phone.
Is there any way for me to undo the damage i may have done to to my phone?
You can't recover the data. But you can push files over with ADB.

hello there, i have a serious problem:
i had my a510 with unlocked bootloader and had the CM11 rom installed...so far, so good: all of a sudden when reading a PDF, it shut down, rebooted, went into a bootloop showing the acer logo.
i had also CWM installed, tried EVERYTHING there to erease cache and stuff like that..nothing worked it started flashing a different rom...no success...
i´ve already installed TWPR 2.7.0.0....worked until the point where i wanted to install a new rom...installing works, saying "successful" but in the lower left corner it says:
E: error opening ' /data/tf '
E: error: I/O error

can anybody help me please?! this is driving me insane!!
EDIT1:
i tried formatting DATA....after 5 minutes still no luck....it keeps "formatting data". could this be the reason for everything?!
EDIT2:
adb shell
recovery --wipe_data
did the trick!!!! i went back to TWRP, wiped DATA, no errors in /data/tf this time...clean installed CM11...and now it works again
Try to flash back CWM, format every partition (via the advanced menu)
and then flash a ROM like CM11

i have tried that...it didn´t work....it was stuck formatting...same went with TWRP....
only moving to ADB and sending the --wipe data helped me.
So, I made a big mistake.
I tried to encrypt my device, but it got stuck at 100%, so i rebooted it and now it's completely messed up.
When i boot it, it asks me for a password, when i enter it, it says decryption unsuccesful and my data is corrupt.
It gives me the option to reset the phone, which is fine, but it reboots the phone into recovery.
But i can't get into recovery, i can't read it properly but as far as i understand it fails to mount /data 5-ish times and then reboots again and tries to boot android again, bringing me to the password screen once again.
I don't care about data, i have backups, but i just want my phone working again.
TL : DR: phone boots, asks password, says data is corrupted, reset phone, goes into recovery, fails to mount partition, reboots, back to ask password.
If i have to do something in ADB let me know, i'm far from good with it but i can at least get it working...
Edit: RECOVERY WORKS! I got that one working again! Problem is that it still can't mount the /data partition so i can't seem to reset/wipe the phone properly.
Edit 2: Device is up and running again. I re-flashed the recovery via the bootloader and ADB, did a full wipe with the recovery because the re-flash fixed it and the wipe fixed the mount problem. After the /data partition could finally be mounted again i just flashed a ROM as usual with gapps and problem solved!
The microSD was broken too but after formatting that with a PC the phone could use it properly again. Did take a few tries tho, no idea why.
