I ran into a problem today when I tried to repair my Z5 Dual, I unplugged my phone in the beginning (NOT EVEN 5 Seconds). Then my phone started showing SOFTWARE UPDATE FAILED PLEASE CONNECT YOUR PHONE TO YOUR COMPUTER. I have a lot of important data in my phone which I need. I thought of just erasing the cache partition. But when I try via fastboot it says that REMOTE: COMMAND NOT ALLOWED HERE. Is there any other way to erase the cache partition? is there any other tool for erasing the cache partition alone? If the above doesn't work us there any way to recover the files in the internal storage. I have also encrypted some files using galleryvault that's why I prefer wiping cache and trying to boot up instead of flashing a new ROM with USERDATA box unchecked. Any help would really be appreciated.
Wipe it in twrp if you have it.

Are you using twrp 2.6.3.4? Go into wipe and then format data. Backup first

He's not able to backup. That's the point of his problem. Still trying wiping dalvik and cache first. Then try data. If that don't work trying flashing cwm or Philz's touch recovery.
I tried to wiping dalvik and cache... the problem remains.
I then tried to wipe data but preserve /data/media, which is the default action. The problem remains...
I really don't want to reset my phone to factory state with internal memory completely wiped... any help, please?

Don't think you have a choice if you want the phone to work. You're going to have to format the data.
Sound like you missed a reboot before installing custom recovery after unlocking boot.

I wanna format my N5, leave it really clean, coz it has the same problem about not mounting storage. But i wanna do it by commands. Can u tell me how can I do that? By adb or fastboot?

I'm not sure but you could try adb shell wipe data. Any reason you don't want to do it through twrp?

I''d like to completely erase the internal memory of the phone. Akin to formatting a HD. It seems when I format all of the available options in recovery it still does not do this (ie full wipe, SD card, cache, system, etc).
How can this be done?
I'm assuming I can do this over adb commands from the PC and then load in a new zip to flash. The reason I'm doing this is that something is corrupt on the phone causing me to have dialer crashes as soon as dialer opens. I've wiped, I've switched ROMS, and nothing has prevented it.

Read the stickies then flash the factory image
Fastboot erase userdata
Fastboot flash userdata userdata.img
Locking then unlocking the bootloader again would wipe it clean...no?
Never relocked....so guessing.

OP wants to wipe everything I think, boot loader unlock only wipes user data
Fastboot erase boot
Fastboot erase cache
Fastboot erase recovery
Fastboot erase system
Fastboot erase userdata
Then flash the factory .IMG files right after
Or just use the flash-all script that's included in the factory images as it uses -w to wipe everything.

Will this only delete user data or every bit and byte on the flash memory?

no, there's 20 or more different partitions on the whole flash memory. This is the only on though that has anything to do with your dialer issue.

userdata.
I've broke touch, screen works but i can't no more reset as my nexus 5 is encrypted and i can't get access on it, any can help?
If the bootloader is unlocked, you could try erasing data, cache, or flashing a new userdata.img file to the phone in fastboot.

I never unlocked it or rooted the phone
Since the bootloader is locked, you won't be able to flash any files to the phone. You could try erasing data and cache partitions from fastboot.

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.

Hi this happened after i flashed 5.1 blob from Optimized Rom thread
Try reflashing OTA 5.2 blob as the blob is not just the bootloader but also the GPT partition setup too

Yep that one exactly, this all happened after i flashed 5.0 blob from an optimized custom rom thread i believe ?
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.

Sorry man but when i try @format data it gaves me the same error ''unable to mount.... storage'' etc
Any other method to fix corrupted bootloader?
Hi there,
So I wanted to resize the system partition so I could install GApps. I accidentally deleted the data partition somehow (deleted not corrupted). I can go into bootloader and recovery, my bootloader is unlocked so I can flash any recovery I need to but I can't boot Android. Any ways to redo the partition table or manually add the userdata partition?
Thanks in advance.
Edit: I was able to fix the partition by creating a partition called "userdata" with parted, but now my phone is constantly rebooting and it cant be the power button because when powered off or in bootloader, it doesnt automatically turn on. Any help?

I would start fresh and flash the last factory image using fastboot
Then follow this guide for repartitioning... https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/recovery-unofficial-twrp-hh-for-nexus-5-hammerhead.4047653/

I have tried to flash the factory image, but as I said, the data partition is deleted so nothing works
I got it to work by manually creating a partition with parted and called it "userdata" After I just flashed the userdata.img file and everything seemed to work!
