help unable to mount vendor and product - Honor 6X Questions & Answers

hey guys when i flash wipe or do anything in twrp it says unable to mount vendor product, invalid arguments.
i got this by flashing an vendor.img provided in a rom(eliterom)
after that my devices waas not booting after waiting for an hour i gone to twrp and tried restoring my backup of stock emui 5 but it fails to wipe vendor and product partitions.
what to do now
how to unbrick
i have working fastboot and working fastboot
is there any file which can i flash??
plz help me its so urgent

Why did you flash vendor.img from eliterom nothing such was mentioned in OP there.

I'm actually in the same situation, exactly the same but not "eliterom", I was trying Lineage OS 14 unofficial.
I'm able to see vendor if I do
`dd if=/external_sd/vendor.img of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/vendor`
But after reboot keeps disappearing.

[Q] Nexus 5, internal storage 0Mb

Hi everyone,
I am French and I use a translator to talk to you, sorry for language mistakes.
I just ask for your help because at last my nexus one days is blocked.
When I go into TWRP he asks me a passeword and my internal memory shows 0MB
Unable to flash a rom stock, steps go well but it does not change anything in the nexus.
Unable to update bootloader, the old version back
I focused in fastboot and recovery (TWRP)
Do you have a solution?
Thanking you in advance
Loïc
Sounds like uv messed up the partitions. unsure if theres a fix on this
Try
fastboot flash cache cache.img
Where cache.img is from the factory image

This is happening without any problems but it does not change the problem.
I'm lost ...
in TWRP i have
E:Unable to mount ' /cache'
E:Unable to mount ' /persist'
E:Unable to mount storage
Problems:
Internal-memory found in TWRP (internal storage: 0MB)
-In flash, everything seems to work well but the file does not replace those on the laptop (eg when I erase bootloader and flash I HHZ11K to replace HHZ11D there was the nexus, the ben 11D never deletes
-Unable to wipe dalvik Cache
TWRP-request a password, so I'm Cancel to use the recovery
Impossible to replace the recovery with a stock version everything seems ok but always returns TWRP
Thank you for your help

Try to flash this in fastboot, fastboot flash recovery recovery.img. Where recovery.img is the file below. If it installs, wipe cache within it
http://d-h.st/nbu. It's 2.6.3.4
This very same thing happened to me this morning, and a friends Nexus 5 the other day. Not sure why but the fact that you are the third I have seen in the last few days is making me believe it's a common issue. It happened to me, I watched a movie, fell asleep, and woke up to "Type password to decrypt storage" message, and the same message you have in Recovery as well. To my knowledge, I never set a password, let alone while I slept.
What happened is somehow the "userdata" partition on the phone got corrupt. When this happens, for some reason it thinks the partition was encrypted. You can attempt to fix it with a repair utility, or
Go to the bootloader (Hold Volume Down and Power when turning the phone on) then install and use adb and type this
Code:
adb e2fsck /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/userdata
Or from recovery, run a command and and run
Code:
e2fsck /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/userdata
See if that works. If it does, your data will be fine. I did not find this fix until after I tried a full reset but it worked for my friend.
If that does not work, you will have to factory reset your phone. You will lose all data on the phone. Hopefully you have a backup. This worked for me.
Use tools from here:
https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images#hammerhead
and follow instructions here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2513701
I see you mentioned you tried this, however you may want to try it again, and follow those steps, make sure to go to the Nexus 5's factory recovery after and "Reset to Factory". Likewise it needs to be run from bootloader, not recovery. And you must have unlocked bootloader.
**EDIT** What firmware were you running? CyanogenMod?
N5
1. you unlock it
2. recovery with software.
Thanks

What firmware were you using prior to this happening? I would like to know as me and a friend were on CyanogenMod11 (CM11) and this happened to us as well. If CyanogenMod or TWRP is causing it, it should be reported as a bug.

Why don't you try Clock work mod recovery. Sounds like twrp isn't meshing well with you device. I had issues with all the way to lastest version.Maybe CWM might help.

when I flash a custom-recovery (stock or cwn) TWRP 2.6.3.2 always returns
I had this same issue.
I went into fastboot and erased recovery and userdata, then ran the flashall.bat in the factory image.
TWRP had a Password. It happened after I tried to flash Cataclysm and it bootlooped (Forgot to check MD5's, not sure why a corrupt download flashed).

Can you format data in 2.6.3.2? I'm thinking you have a bigger problem as you've already tried to flash the factory image and it did not work.

partition corrupted. Need help?

This is my friend's phone and when she showed me, it was asking for android's password with the title "Decryption unsuccessful".
I then tried mi-flash and it didn't gave any errors but when it rebooted it went to fastboot screen. It was on latest MIUI7 stable when this happened. I tried formatting again from recovery, I got the below error logs.
/data, /system and /cache - (invalid argument)
Even recovery is gone and it only boots to fastboot screen. I can only go to recovery by doing
fastboot boot recovery.img (recovery is twrp 3.0.2-0) from fastboot.
I think the only possible way is to full format the partitions and bring it to stock but I am not finding any threads to point me to proper directions. Any one here care to help revive this mi4i.

Recovery - twrp 3.0.2-0
Those mounts were not visible when I check the mounts using df command and for the above errors I tried to format as it showed successful operation.
I have the latest fastboot rom for flashing but unless the mounts work, I am hopeless.
Here are the recovery logs
Below output shows that userdata partition is encrypted. I think this is preventing the partitions to be mounted

I'm eager to try the twrp you have linked but just wanted to ask few qs.
1. The version I am using is also listed in the link you've provided. Is there a way to check or after flashing I would find differences in the functionality?
2. Which version you want me to try?
3. Since I updated my above post with the image showing the encryption flag on data partition, can that be fixed in your unofficial TWRP you've linked?

tried the latest in the twrp folder. I was using just the previous of the latest version and got the same result when tried "Format Data" as it said it will also remove the encryption.
I also tried to flash the latest mokee build below are the screen snaps of the logs
Reboot to recovery is also not working and it loads to fastboot screen.
Edit: Previously when i tried flash_all in miflash it gave me error:
0x80004005: FAILED (remote: failed to write partition) at the line where it invokes flash partition command.

I was thinking of trying this unbrick-qualcomm-mobiles/. but again this phone is not entering into "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008" mode.
Tell me which miui version other than 7 I should try? and if possible link me to that.
Edit: Now downloading this: ferrari_global_images_V6.5.6.0.LXIMICD_5.0_global hoping to fix the partitions if this has those files required like
"rawprogram0.xml"
"patch0.xml"

Thank you very much, you are a life saver!!
I was stuck in a TWRP loop.
I tried flashing through TWRP but it didn't work but the fastboot method worked like a charm!
My phone is running again.

For some reason on my unlocked nokia 1 it started to ask password after flash and boot and gkeyboard always crashes on boot. So, I thought flashing fresh userdata might help.

I wrote in the instructions...
If you get a password just enter a random one, then it will ask you to wipe the device, click ok and it will reboot to recovery and then wipe userdata and boot fine.
just make sure you flash the recovery.bin and not twrp before you wipe

Same happened to me. I solved it by a hard reset via the stock recovery.
Make sure you flash the recovery.bin like Sooti said.
Wiping through twrp doesn't work.
Nice, working twrp for Nokia 1.
I buyed this phone today. Waiting for customs
A little warning.
It looks like the recovery.bin I took from another nokia 1 device doesn't match the checksum check which causes a failed during ota updates, please only flash this rom if you soft bricked your device.
If anyone can get me TA-1060 stock recovery image that should solve it. for now you can't update the phone until a fix is found
I have Nokia Ta 1066. Will this rom work on mine? Also I read somewhere Ta 1060 is single sim variant. What about the second sim?
Has anyone with TA 1066 tried it?
Thanks. Both methods work fine. Don't ask how I found out.....
Can you share how you managed to backup stock recovery file. Maybe after all the steps above we can flash our own device recovery to make ota work again...

I don't have stock recovery from our device i have from another variant of Nokia 1
Hey guys i have a TA-1056 and after unlocking bootloader and flashing TWRP it booted to recovery and came up encrypted, after looking around the only solution was to format data, afterwards when rebooting it always boots to recovery, i tried flashing this zip and i get the same issue and i can't find the stock ROM for the 1056 anywhere online, can anyone help me out? i really appreciate it

Does Nokia 1 support DT2W?
Sir, is that possible to get a stock rom of TA 1056 ?
I have searched everywhere but whole thing available over net just left my phone bricked. All i need is a working rom source. Even if that’s a custom rom too to flash via sp flash tool. Thanks in advance
Can any please repost the firmware , the link isn't working

Need help for soft brick (eRecovery not working)

What I have done
I unlocked the bootloader of my Honor 6x using the testpoint method
I installed TWRP and Magisk
I decided that I was not satisfied with the stock OS and wanted to install a custom ROM
I forgot to make a backup using TWRP before flashing
I tried to flash LineageOS but it did not work and caused a bootloop (the boot animation shows for about 5 minutes and then reboots)
Using Huawei eRecovery to restore the device was not possible, and it returns the message of "Getting package info failed".
This is likely due to the website "http://update.hicloud.com/" being down
Cannot download any stock ROMs as the downloads I found are all from "http://update.hicloud.com/"
This is the only thread I found about the website being down: link
After some digging I found an old ROM (EMUI 4) that I can use, and flashed it using TWRP
The system booted up just fine after that, but the system looked really old and I wanted to update it
I found an update file and tried to install it using the dload method, which installed through the Huawei recovery just fine.
The phone rebooted and now bootloops to the Huawei eRecovery everytime.
I thought of flashing TWRP again so that maybe I can flash the old rom again, but it does not work and returns the following errors.
command: fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
error: Writing 'recovery' FAILED (remote: 'image verification error')
fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk twrp.img
error: Writing 'recovery_ramdisk' FAILED (remote: 'partition length get error')
Questions
What can I do in this situation with only have access to fastboot commands and the Huawei eRecovery?
Should I just wait for the update website to come back up so that the eRecovery will work and I can install the latest OS from there? Will that ever happen?
hey i can help ! which version of twrp are you trying to flash ?

error: Writing 'recovery' FAILED (remote: 'image verification error')
fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk twrp.img
error: Writing 'recovery_ramdisk' FAILED (remote: 'partition length get error')
Questions
What can I do in this situation with only have access to fastboot commands and the Huawei eRecovery?
Should I just wait for the update website to come back up so that the eRecovery will work and I can install the latest OS from there? Will that ever happen?

The update website isn't going to come back anytime soon. But if you just don't mind opening your device again(you need to access the test point), there's a fix. this method doesn't just need anything. even if your device is hard bricked, it can get you back running. This was described in a youtube video with working links based on a forum on xda.

I got a similar problem recently but I flashed update.zip of emui 8 - > Bootlooped - > factory reset with twrp - > successfully booted but doesn't get past the setup screen. Fix : flashed a gsi treble image(based on android 10) - > working perfect except for camera and volte.

My bad , I thought the update website to be huawei's official one(something like update.hicloud and all isn't it?). Well, thanks for the information but I still prefer gsi. It's buttery smooth .
And one more thing, if you follow the youtube video I mentioned, you don't need any gsi. You can get your device back on stock EMUI 5.

Hey I have a doubt... Will the recoveries we find in twrp official website / app work on EMUI 8? I wanted to try them but I'm afraid I might brick my device again. Getting it back is a hectic thing and I already had to face it thrice. LOL .

Hi, thanks for trying to help! I am using the website to install the firmware but I am having problems with it currently, and I made a post about it, if you could help me with that it would be greatly appreciated.

Well, just clear these things:
Is your bootloader still unlocked?
Did you try using another recovery image instead of the one you are getting error for?

My bootloader is still unlocked, yes. However, I did not try to flash another recovery image, as I was not sure where I could find one that worked. I forgot which image I used at first but it had worked the first time, so that was why I did not bother finding a different recovery. Do you have a suggestion for a recovery to install?

I'm attaching one that works with emui 8 try using it (Remember you have to flash it to recovery_ramdisk).
Well after reading your post 1 again, I think there's no such partition as recovery_ramdisk(because it will be there only from android 8). So find a recovery in google which works on hi6250 devices with emui 4. That should work. Update me with the result

What I have done
I unlocked the bootloader of my Honor 6x using the testpoint method
I installed TWRP and Magisk
I decided that I was not satisfied with the stock OS and wanted to install a custom ROM
I forgot to make a backup using TWRP before flashing
I tried to flash LineageOS but it did not work and caused a bootloop (the boot animation shows for about 5 minutes and then reboots)
Using Huawei eRecovery to restore the device was not possible, and it returns the message of "Getting package info failed".
This is likely due to the website "http://update.hicloud.com/" being down
Cannot download any stock ROMs as the downloads I found are all from "http://update.hicloud.com/"
This is the only thread I found about the website being down: link
After some digging I found an old ROM (EMUI 4) that I can use, and flashed it using TWRP
The system booted up just fine after that, but the system looked really old and I wanted to update it
I found an update file and tried to install it using the dload method, which installed through the Huawei recovery just fine.
The phone rebooted and now bootloops to the Huawei eRecovery everytime.
I thought of flashing TWRP again so that maybe I can flash the old rom again, but it does not work and returns the following errors.
command: fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
error: Writing 'recovery' FAILED (remote: 'image verification error')
fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk twrp.img

So I have tried many different recoveries, such as ones for EMUI 4 and 5 and flashing directly to recovery, which gave me an error "image verification failed", and flashing an EMUI 8 to ramdisk would give me the same error as before. I think the partitions on this device is really messed up lol. Also, when I type fastboot reboot recovery, it would just get stuck at the loading screen, so does that mean there is no working recovery installed?

Maybe yes. Did you try directly booting the image without flashing?

Well as you said, you partitions must have been really messed up. I have no other ideas except the test point method.
Are you trying anything else?
Ok we have some option that could help you...
Im read in the 4PDA (the russian XDA xD) forum that it should be possible to flash the oeminfo by fastboot command. So just download the HWOTA_BLN_Eng and expand it. Then go to 7 or 8 Folder and there you go to oeminfo folder. There you choose the right one for your Device and local area...for example BLN-L21 (Device) C432 (European Area)
Extract the file to your desktop and rename it to BLN-L21C432.img
--->be sure that you have the right Device driver installed and the right ADB driver for your device to<---
ok now Copy and Paste the BLN-L21C432.img to ADB folder and start command with admin rights
start the phone into fastboot mode
--->bootloader must be unlocked<---
in the command
fastboot flash oeminfo BLN-L21C432.img
wait for the result and it can not hurt to pray a bit in this moment...hihi
if this have success...you type in command
fastboot reboot
wait to the screen you can press 3 seconds Vol+ to go into erecovery....connect to wlan and it should work step by step like it should.
after download and recover the stock rom reboot and go again to erecover by press Vol+ for 3 seconds and now go to the second option...wipe data/factory reset and write yes+enter
in stock recovery wipe Data after that wipe Cache...reboot and wait that system boot the initial boot for first setup.
If this will not working...tell me what honor 6x you have and wich local area you are from and wich firmware you stock had before you doing wronng
good luck bro

Question No OS even after flashing stock

So I've been pulling hair for 2 days. I can flash everything fine recovery boots fastboot. But it consistently says no OS on either slots. Tried flashing stock to both went all the way through loading lineage and same thing. I'm at wits end. Also not a single password I put in decrypts data.
Also Metro/Tmob variant xt2131-1 bootloader unlocked.
Have you tied fastboot -w? It sounds like the partitions are messed up.
I have. I've done all of the above just still a persistent boot loop.

Currently retrying to flash stock firmware with a Motorola flashing program. Will let you know here in about 2 min.

Yep. Again boot loop. Says no OS. Stock recovery says last installation failed. Flashing the service flash package to see if that makes a difference. Hopefully because it says it reflashed my bootloader and stock recovery.

The motorola program formats the partitions before flash unlike an automated fastboot flash. The only issue I can see is a physical issue with the UFS/EMMC 5.1 chip, maybe even the ram(very unlikely). Had there been any warning signs such as the phone rebooting randomly or freezing? Motorola has a one year warranty for all devices.
No nothing of the sort. I did a factory reset because I was gonna try out lineage and this is where I'm at now. Still no OS. Even after flashing 3 times. I did have a remote access trojan that rewrote my partition data and resized one and added one and used the root hidden partition to store the data in while it was being transferred.
This drive folder has the system, system_ext, vandor and product of the xt2131-1 that can be flashed in twrp or orangefox. Make sure you make the partitions rw in twrp or OF using 100 rw zip (search for it) then mount as rw in terminal. Flash these images or image,whichever you believe to be needing. Then try and reboot. If all else fails then download the firmware from LMSA and use tinyfastboot tools to flash it. Always worked for me. Let me know how it goes. Heres the link to the files.
XT2131-1_Denver-Osaka_04-2022_RRE31.60-47-2-2 - Google Drive
drive.google.com
!!!!!Make Sure you have verity and verification disabled before trying to flash these. Hence the 100 rw zip is necessary. And must be flashed correctly. 73 error can be flashed with Ubuntu!!!!!!!!
**Edit**
Make sure you always
Fastboot -w then
Factory reset in recovery then format data for a full clean install. This vendor build is made for the boost mobile variant but it is universal. The firmware is incremental based as well so it knows which build to install or activate on the tmo/metro variant. I have all the apps and files for all carriers that have this model.

If this doesnt work you can try a blankfile flash via edl, if that does not work nothing will.

Not at home. Staying the night at my mom's. Get home early tomorrow and I will try the advised steps. I went through my previous flashing steps and am now just missing the persist partition. I'll report back as for the edl mode and I have 2 blank flash files just cannot get into edl mode. Have qfil rsd and motoflashpro

What have you tried thus far? Have you tried fastboot commands to get into edl, I think it may also also a boot menu option in twrp but I don't remember. Also now that I think about, after flashing the firmware(to both lots as you say) have you tried fastboot set_active a (or) b? Also where did you find the firehose file for it, I could not find one on other forums?
So far im downloading the files and will try what you suggested now. I'll let you know in 30 min. But I've tried factory reset. Flash. Formatting then flashing. Blank flash. Formatting then flashing. I've also used fastboot --force -slot=all flash ***. *****. Etc. Tried flashing. Flashing the copy partitions and tried flashing a gsi an aosp. Got to lineages recovery but still the same issue. Some partition are unmountable. At this point now it refuses to charge while off.. and if I do plug it in while off it continues to boot loop from the battery/charging screen.

Sorry to tell you this but the phone is definitely ****ed on a hardware level, no amount of reflashing the firmware will fix that. The partition issue is likely caused by the EMMC/UFS malfunctioning, however the charging issue is definitely not caused by software as the battery has a separate controller. Your best bet would be to replace the motherboard, your phone's warranty is however void anyways since you unlocked the bootloader so you would have to do it yourself.

How do I disable anti-rollback???? Might be the issue with it not flashing vb* files. Assuming those control vendor persiste etc

You can't, the manufacture prevents you from doing so due to "security issues". Make sure you get the latest firmware at https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/moto/denver/official/. This will restore all partitions including vendor and persist as it generates from the modem partition, also android 11 and up does not use regular persist partitions anymore, it is now in the "super" images so don't worry about it. When you extract the latest firmware from this site there will be an XML file, go to https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...e-with-motorola-devices.4042039/post-82186933 and follow the instructions, before flashing made sure to select slot A, after you are done flashing slot A set it to slot B and flash again, then reboot regularly. To set the slot run the fastboot command before flashing, for example fastboot set_active a, flash firmware, fastboot set_active b, flash firmware, reboot.
