Android showing "Cannot mount /system (Invalid Argument)" in recovery - XDA Assist

So, when I was installing a 5.0 KitKat ROM for my Galaxy Ace GT-s5830i, but after installing it, it took forever to boot, so I went into recovery and it said 2 things: "E: Failed to mount /system (Invalid Argument)" and "E: Failed to mount /cache (Invalid Argument)"
Any help?
I can't post the ROM link since I need 10 posts, damn. It was on the DroidThunder website.

[Q] Relay b0rked Tonight

My Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G took a dump tonight. It crashed and rebooted [normal shut off to black screen and turn back on kinda crash]. Not totally unheard of, it's electronic so things happen. Anyway, I sit there holding it while watching tv waiting for it to come back on and it doesn't! It sits at the screen that says "Samsung GALAXY S RELAY 4G exclusively from T-Mobile". I work with computers everyday so I know this a bad sign. I try a full power cycle by removing the battery and that didn't help. I tried just letting it do it's thing while I ate dinner and that didn't help. So I start Googling and just about the only stuff I can find is how to root the phone. I find things about booting to Safe Mode [didn't work, same result], things about rooting [hangs up at the Downloading... screen] and things about factory reset [not my 1st choice but it's already broke]. So I try to boot into the restore mode and it says:
failed to mount /system (invalid argument)
So I'm kinda lost. Basically the phone won't boot up, it won't boot safe mode and I can't get it to boot to recovery. Any help from the wise android community?
This is an official...not a rooted one.
Either emmc is borked or you have a bad battery....Samsung put this special battery feature in them that when the battery goes bad it acts like a brick...I had this happen once and with me battery it booted right back up....also have you tried Odin back to stock yet?
I just tried swapping to a known good battery [GF has the same phone] and that didn't fix it. I tried the Odin reset and that's how I saw the failed to mount /system error
Full error when loading Odin with Vol Up, Home and Power:
E:failed to mount /system (invalid argument)

I fixed it by reflashing to the latest stock ROM with Samsung Kies. I had everything backed up so it was an easy restore of apps after the flash. I hope this helps someone in the future.

galaxy S4 (4.4.4 i337) not fully back after reset following corruted data

noob here. long time reader, first time poster. first off, you have a fantastic site that has educated me immensely, and allowed me to properly root many devices.
now onto my problem. i have a galaxy s4 4.4.4 i337 (NOT rooted at the time) that unfortunately went belly up the other day with the seemingly typical message of "...data corrupted....perform factory reset...". after a number of restart attempts, including pulling the battery, i decided to check out the recovery mode. it had an image of a passed out android with a statement No command right below it. before undertaking the reset, i chose the reboot system now from the menu on the upper left which resulted in No command changing to Error! while the following entries appeared (exactly as shown, including the repeat statements) at the bottom in red:
E:failed to mount /data (Invalid argument)
can't mount '/data' (Invalid argument)
E:failed to mount /data (Invalid argument)
E:failed to mount /data (Invalid argument)
E:Can't mount /data/log/recovery_log.txt (Invalid argument)

E:failed to mount /data (Invalid argument)
E:Can't mount /data/log/emmc_checksum_log.txt (Invalid argument)
E:failed to mount /data (Invalid argument)
i could not find any suggestion other than to reset, so i went ahead with it. everything seemed to be fine afterwards and i was event able to root it. at some point, however, i decided to revisit the system recovery screen, only to be greeted by the passed out android image with No command below it! whatta?! when i selected reboot system now menu, No command once again changed to Error!, but nothing appeared at the bottom this time around, and the phone booted up without a problem. i reset the phone one more time, but it still continues to exhibit the same exact behavior as i have described. the phone itself seems to be functioning properly, yet i cannot let go of the fact that something is still not kosher under the hood, especially since it died on me so suddenly. please help! thank you.

Help can not install root in Huawei P10 lite

I'm spanish speaking so I translate everything with google hehe
You will see I have a Huawei P10 lite WAS-LX3 with EMUI and android 8.0.0
I have opened the bootloader to root with TWRP and even there I guess
use TWRP v. 3.2.1 if I'm not wrong, since it was the only one that Huawei Multi tool accepted, I suppose that by updating recently
download Magisk v16 to root it (I am a new medium in this, some time ago I did it with a much easier j1) to be able to flash it with twrp but I get the following error (it even seems to have errors in previous processes, I get this:

sorry if it was much, but I'm new I do not know if I can upload ss
but that is all the process history that I get when I want to install magisk
something similar I get with super your v2.82
help, I would really like to have the root access but with neither one of them allows me to install them and I really do not know what to do
This is a year old but may still work:

I already try to install the rom.zip but i got stuck in the bootscreen logo. Looking in different blogs and forum i try the "Change file system" method to convert from ext4 to fat and go back to ext4 but it gave me the same error.
Thank you for the time to read me and to the incoming answers that i can get from all of you.
