Hello all,
Hopefully you will be able to help me with this problem as I am currently without a phone until I can resolve this.
To run you through the process, I flashed Nitrogen OS, rebooted to recovery, flashed gapps and all was well. I decided to attempt to encrypt the device once I had setup my Google account. The battery was 100% and plugged into the charger. Shortly after the process started, the phone went into a bootloop. Since, I have attempted to wipe system , cache, dalvik and data, then reflashed Nitrogen OS, but it is still in a bootloop.
When I wipe system , cache, dalvik and data, I also get the error "Unable to mount storage" in TWRP.
I have even attempted to restore the backup I took before flashing Nitrogen OS, with no luck.
Any ideas?
SOLVED.
If anyone else has this problem and looking for a solution, you need to completely reflash stock firmware via fastboot. PM me if you need any help or info regarding this.

Hi!
I'm experiencing an annoying problem while updating my XOOM (MZ605) with the latest KitKat ROM.
I followed the instructions to repartition my device, and I tried using both Omnirom and Cyanogenmod roms, but I get the same error everytime.
In the step of wiping everything (but the SD card), I get a couple of messages saying that it was unable to mount cache to E: drive. TWRP recovery system says that the wipe process failed. Anyway, I went further in the steps, and I was able to flash the room and the gapps (it passes the BigPart partition check), but when I boot into system, my xoom stays stuck at the splash screen; it is not booting.
I tried both Omnirom and Cyanogenmod, and I get stuck in the same place. I thought I messed some part, so undone the BigPart, installed stock rom from motorola, and started over. But got the same problem.
I would liek to know if anyone know whats going on with the partiitoning, and if I can get rid of the mounting errors.
Thank you!

In your process of wiping...did you try to wipe just the cache by itself. When I got that error message i would go back to the main menu in recovery and just wipe the cache (or whatever giving me an error message) by itself.
Same problem here

Same problem here... I can't properly do some of the advanced wipes in the process of trying to install omni.
I did as you suggested and tried wiping them individually but to no success.
I am definitely not as fluent in this stuff as a lot of you on here are, but I am competent/confident enough to follow good instructions.
Somebody help please!
Cant install KitKat Roms
I am having the same issue and have done the same thing. Tried installing both CM and OMNI with no success. the recovery is telling me the came thing that it cannot mount E:\ 'cache' and other files i need to wipe.
Some one please help.
i was wondering...
i was wondering if the fact that i used to have a custom rom and then reverted back to stock (relocked the bootloader and unrooted successfully) last year before i attempted the omni install could be a factor?
But it worked before

I'm getting the same "can't mount cache" error when converting to Big Part - I had previously been running several Big Part roms, and had no problem with the conversion at that time - I then reverted back to stock (using VZW OTA's) for awhile, but want to give the Big Part roms another shot - I've tried several methods of reverting to stock, then coming back to install a 10.1 ROM, which is successful, but when I flash the Big Part TWRP and try the conversion, I get the cache mount error every time - I can revert to the "normal" TWRP, reformat, and re-install non-big part roms without a problem - help us Obi Wan! WTF?
I was getting the same thing as you guys. Stuck on splash screen. What I did to fix mine was under TWRP go to wipe, did factory reset wipe, then data wipe. Then mine worked for me. Takes about 3-5 minutes to boot on 1st start after wiping. Hope this helps.

I forgot to mention click the format data tab under wipe and type yes.
I just had this same experience. I think the directions are somehow missing a step or we're misreading it.

A day not spent well
I am having the same issue all of you guys are having. I had 10.1 stingray (4.2.2) running well and thought it was time to try Kit Kat. Both the ROMs wind up the same way, a loooong running splash screen (over an hour before I manually rebooted). Over and over no mater how many ways I tried to wipe the XOOM I kept getting the Can't mount the cache message. I was able to revert back to 10.1 but I can't figure why others can make the install and we cannot. I have asked others on the forum but no one can answer the question?
Anyone? Thanks! Paddy
I was finally able to figure this out last night. I was looking at my cache and data formats and both were formatted as f2fs. I believe it's under wipe in the latest TWRP (2.7.1.0), there's an option on the left that shows you the format type of your drives. On non BigPart TWRP I changed the cache and data to ext4. Rebooted back into recovery, and followed the guide posted here to apply BigPart to my Xoom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2506997 :: Then I was able to load Omni BigPart edition with no issues at all. I'd be happy to give more details if anyone wants. I'm in the office now, otherwise I'd post some snap shots. I'll update this when I get home.
has anyone recovered from the "unable to mount cache" error? I have followed all the information in this thread, checked out the relevant links all to no avail.
The only additional data I can provide is that when I go into the wipe menu (TWRP 2.7.1) / advanced / select cache / and "repair or change" I have all 0's for the cache size MBs. Repairing the cache or changing file system claims to be successful, but it's always 0 MBs. For grins I tried all of the above with TWRP 2.6.3 and had no better results.
Thanks in advance.
Hello fellas,
I had few problems with my Moto G. I was on official Moto lolipop.
I've unlocked bootloader, flashed TWRP, flashed SlimRom from dev thread, but it was hard to boot (bootlooping after phone restart, I was forced to turn down, and then turn on the phone, and sometimes it was booting) and I wanted to flash other rom, without ,,hard boot" problem.
And there is how I bricked my phone.
When I tried to wipe data in TWRP (factory/cache wipe) my phone reboots suddenly. It didn't wipe anything. It just reboot my system. I tried many times - always ending with reboot.
So, I tried to flash AICP rom without wiping anything. I installed it, and I had ,,android.acore has stopped working" error. Phone was rebooting often.
I tried to wipe my data again, without succeed. It was rebooting, and I've seen all my apps I had installed before.
I though it was TWRP fault, so I flashed CM recovery. Same thing occured. Next, I flashed CWM recovery. Same situation (reboot after choosing wipe).
So, I deleted my userdata and cache from fastboot, and tried this to solve my problems :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/general/how-to-to-stock-5-0-2-motorola-lollipop-t3077806
Unfortunetly, it didn't helped me. Now I have one big bootloop.
What to do? Help me, please.
Thank you for your time!
////EDIT
I think I know whats happening. I have deleted my partition accidentally... I have Internal storage 0MB free, and mount errors... Is there a way to fix that, or I am screwed?

First things first, I'm a newbie when it comes to all these.
I installed CM11 after much effort, but some things didn't work out well so afterwards, I installed CM12.1* (FXP-cm-11-20150301-UNOFFICIAL-taoshan).* But then I decided that I wanted to change my Gapps Package, so I went to recovery mode once again to wipe my phone and install CM12 all over again.
The thing is that for some reason I just couldn't wipe it (no error message) but I was able to log in back to the system (CM12).
I messed around with a few settings and finally I decided to install twrp 2.8.7.0 through the flashify app. I rebooted to recovery, tried to wipe again my phone and then, all hell broke loose.
I realized that I cannot wipe internal memory of all things, and cannot install any new ROM. Can't flash another recovery either through windows flashtool like CWM 6.0 Philz touch, for example. Well, it does flash but my phone keeps on logging into the twrp recovery. I also can't flash my original fft (obviously). I can't do really anything besides messing around with twrp options (and I've messed a lot with them). I'm all out of ideas, so please someone help. When trying to wipe internal storage, the following message appears:
E:mkdosfs /dev/block/mmcblk0p32 process ended with ERROR=1
E:Unable to wipe '/sdcard'.
E:Unknown MTP message type: 1
E:Unable to wipe '/sdcard'
I have the whole log, for anyone interested.
Please help and remember, I'm a newbie.
Thank you.

Thank you for your answer my friend, but I actually managed to fix my problem just moments before you posted your answer! What I did was to flash the cm12.1 recovery nightly which logged me into this recovery (although it seemed all messed up and.. broken). Nevertheless, I managed to flash the CM12.1 ROM from there and everything worked fine!
Bro #immortalwind.. I'm having the same problem exactly what you had. Seriously fu***d up with all with boot loop @ recovery. Could not able to hard reset / factory reset at neither CWM nor TWRP. Tried all knows possible ways. Please could you help me here. Any1 who can halp me here pls...
P.S: literally not moving from the boot load, so flashing a ROM could not be possible i think. any other suggestions please.....

Just reflash stock ftf. You'll be good to go. If that fails, check drivers and downgrade flashtool. After that, normally, install a boot image with a recovery, install your rom gapps, reboot.
Managed to flash.ftf... Thanks for the help friends.

So I was trying to install this rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...xtrestolite-deodexed-mod-edition-1-0-t3094423.
on my g920i. Installed recovery, modem and bootloader as described. Instead of doing a factory reset I accidentally wiped data and my phone is completely wiped down.
So I tried mounting my phone through recovery and copy the rom so I can install it but it won't let me transfer anything ("the device has either stopped responding or has been disconnected" message pops up every time I try).
I have no idea what to do. I appreciate any help!

U can try with usb otg.
so i wanted to backup my oneplus one using twrp 3.0 and for some reason i decided to wipe the cache before i backed it up. I went to wipe (just the regular cache) and it kept trying to wipe but it never succeeded so i just forced rebooted it went back to twrp and backed up my phone. Once the backup was done i tried to boot it up and i was met with a boot loop. Then i kept rebooting my phone and no luck. then i tried to completely wipe my phone. well just a factory reset. it didn't work i was greeted with an error saying my cache is not mounted or something like that. so now i cant even wipe anything at all and i think twrp has a feature where you can access files from recovery and that doesn't work for me. adb isnt working either i was trying to push a file. What im trying to do is flash a newer version of twrp or try to adb sideload my same rom. but i dont have access to my same rom cause the links are down. my rom is minimal os btw. any ideas ?
Edit: I've fixed the problem by booting into fastboot and flashing a newer version of twrp 3.0.2. then i wiped the cache and it was successful. then i booted up and it works!
