Please post how you fixed as it may help someone in the future. Thanks
Was installing the wrong version of TWRP so flashed again via adb and is working. The zip file was for the 5g model I think but I've got the non 5g but works ok

Hi there, I seem to have messed up my mounting partitions while trying to deodex Stock JB Central Europe. I basically used xultimate to pull the files and deodex then tried using adb shell to mount the system partition and copy them over. After I rebooted the phone, it would get stuck on unlocked bootloader warning or on the motorola logo. I hard reset into recovery and restored a nandroid backup and once booted into android found so many folders under the Storage folder such as "asec", "obb", rfs0" and so on. Now, when I try to wipe dalvik-cache in recovery, i get the following error: "E: unknown volume for path [/sd-ext]". Also, when i try flashing custom rom's and reboot, it gets stuck on the unlocked bootloader warning and wont load - while in recovery after flashing, i also get another error something like this: "E: cant load /cache/recovery.log" or similar. I also sometimes have issues mounting system, cache partitions, data and internal storage, all depending on which custom recovery i am using. I read on another site that downgrading to ics might solve mounting problems so I forced a downgrade to ics but that didnt work either and am still on ics.
Is there a way to restore the partitions correctly or are they stuck this way? Would mounting and remounting solve this problem? Any help would be much appreciated and would very much appreciate it if someone could upload their mount point info so i could use to try and fix it.
Many thanks in advance.
EDIT: Managed to flash Slim Bean 4.3 Official using OUDHS recovery without wiping cache and dalvik-cache at first. After reboot, it would bootloop so went to recovery and wiped cache and dalvik-cache then it worked. Still no sd-ext and some apps can't write or backup to external memory such as Go Backup & Restore Pro so what remains is to mount/unmount the partitions correctly.
Hello. I seem to have softbricked my nexus 5 with the twrp manager app when flashing new recovery thinking I was taking a shortcut so I didn't have to boot my laptop up for 4.4.3. update. Guess I had to anyway because recovery did not get updated to 2.7.1.1! I was going to update to paranoidandroid 4.4.3rc1, elementalx.44 and also new radio but never got that far because recovery failed to mount /sdcard, and also /data, /cache I have no idea if the path to the recovery partition block (?) from the twrp app was correct but i assumed so because it was mentioned as a preferred way of installing the recovery.
The problem is that there is no sd card detected , no camera, crashes in google play services and general system wobbliness and no identifications and a different wifi mac address, no network signal but wifi is working. /data, /cache and /sdcard is not mountable in recovery.. can't get adb to work in other mode than ptp either but that's probably just my pc.
I was thinking about flashing the images from https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images but I hope there is a chance to backup my sdcard please! Could I perhaps flash the images one by one and see if it gets better? perhaps flashing the kernel again? :silly:

oh well apparently forgot I had to still format /cache. ooops. thread closed?

Try adb to backup your sdcard or flashing the factory images EXCEPT userdata.img should do the trick.
So, I wanted to install a custom ROM, but somewhere along the way something went wrong and I got stuck in a bootloop, I've been reading up on some threads and I followed some steps that were supposed to fix it, but I feel like I'm in even more trouble now (Well, my phone is still alive so I still have hope but yeah..)
Anyways, I'm using Philz custom recovery now, I tried to do a wipe to install a new or stock ROM, at first it said the wipe was succesful, so I tried installing the ROM, but during the install I kept getting:
E: Error mounting /data
It did say the installation was succesful, but after I rebooted it kept trying to wipe eventhough I did not ask for this.
Got another mount error and said Wipe Failed.
Now when I try to sideload stock ROM I get errors like:
Formatting Cache
Formatting /sd-exxt
E: Uknown volume for path /sd-ex
(I also don't know why it's doing that since this phone has no SD card) I got the Falcon edition with the internal storage. Also when my computer recognizes my phone and I want to open the phone folder, there is no longer an Internal Storage folder.
Anyways after those errors it says Data Wipe Complete, Wiping System, Now flash new ROM
But nothing flashes properly it seems due to the mounting error. I've looked for solution, but I can only seem to find threads that involve Samsung
and when I find a solution video it has something to do with either taking your battery out of your phone (which you can't do with this phone) or something
with your SD card (which this phone doesn't have).
So yeah, I'm running out of ideas here and any help would be greatly appreciated!
Cheers.

The phone has a virtual SD card.
I had a similar issue. Try flashing TWRP recovery and go to wipe > format data (THIS WILL DELETE ALL DATA) then reboot recovery. Worth a shot if you're not able to use your phone. You can copy over SD card contents to a computer first via TWRP by mounting MTP, or use USB OTG..
Hello, i am quite panicked about this problem so i will cut to the chase.:crying: I will write down stuff i did in numerical orders.
1. Using TWRP 2.8.6.1, I was curious to try to go to Wipe>Advanced>full wipe (wiping everything). After i did and tried to reboot, it said there is no OS. So i tried flashing my flashable stock rom 4.4.4 in zip form but it didn't boot.
2. So i flashed to stock in fastboot. (For flashing to stock, i used this instructions http://androidforums.com/threads/guide-how-to-flash-a-nexus-factory-image-manually.706533/). After finish flashing, i went to stock recovery and wiped dalvik cache and data.
3. After that, i rebooted and... that when it didn't seem right. Nexus 5 COULD connect to my PC but it only showed "Internal Storage" and nothing else. If i tried to move something to the storage, it would immediately say i can't move it there.
4. So i thought this was because the full wipe i did before and that the system partition got totally wiped. So i used TWRP again but to restore my old nandroid backup.
5. After i flashed my nandroid backup, twrp said this one line that goes in red "unable to mount /firmware. I ignored and rebooted. It still had the problem where i couldn't move anything to my storage by MTP but also adb push. It even couldn't save screenshots and download anything from internet like apk or some sort. When i went into the app called "Zipper", it said 'no sdcard'.
6. I searched through the internet to fix this but i kept failing to solve it. I tried going to TWRP and doing chmod, chmod 755, using these instructions (http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/general/sdcard-problems-upgrading-android-t2938749)
TL;DR : I did a full wipe in TWRP and lost all permissions to read or write. Nandroid backup didn't help. Whatever i flash in twrp, it says "unable to mount /firmware" at the end.

EDIT: alright i did a mess up. When i flashed the stock, i didn't rename the radio from radio-hammerhead-m8974a-2.0.50.1.16 to radio.img.
Hi guys,
so the problem is that i cant flash SuperSu thats located on my phone memory because the TWRP is showing 0 MB,also i am unable to mount the storage in TWRP. I tried different solutions that i found on this forum( set a lock pattern,PIN,wipe/format data, change file system ) but none have worked, TWRP newer even asks for a password. Also when i try to format the data in TWRP i get the "unable to mount data,system..." error. Is there another way to flash SuperSU without TWRP, because i also tried sideloading it but it failed?
I'm betting your device is encrypted. Which is always am issue.
Any solutions i could try ?
bump?
