Now it's my turn. Pressed factory reset by accident in boot loader. Can get to TWRP but it says E: Unable to mount storage
e:Unable to mount /sdcard/TWRP/twps. when trying to read settings file. etc...
Advanced File manager in TWRP shows /sdcard/TWRP
Any ideas???? If I try to mount data in TWRP my Mac wants to initialize.
Thanks
TWRP shows internal storage 0 mb
I flashed the stock recovery, then ran it and somehow it booted right into CM11. Everything was lost, but it's working again.
Factory reset wipe everything! Including SD card.

Possibly, but how come CM11 was still on there? I think that the Boot Loader in Moonshine's factory reset is not compatible with CM11. Luckily the stock recovery fixed things for me.

I had the same issue, pressed by mistake factory reset in bootloader some time ago. I was pressing vol down to reach recovery, there was a slight lag and I pressed it a second time the immediately I've pressed power...so cursor has jumped 2 rows then executed. I've solved it only by flashing stock recovery and resetting to factory settings again, then flashed TWRP.
Now why you still had CM11...well not 100% sure but in TWRP when you wipe to factory the system partition is not formatted. I've paid attention once to the messages during a wipe and it was formatting data, cache, dalvik and android secure but not system. A reason can be that while flashing any ROM, the install script formats system at the beginning so theres no need to do that with factory reset.
Now I can only think that the factory reset from bootloader does the same and system is not wiped. Theoretically it is correct...system is read only especially on a stock non rooted device and resetting it to factory practically means that any trace of personal settings/aps and so on should be erased. And those are not stored on the system partition. There is also no hidden place on the phone where a recovery image of the original android OS is kept so this is not like on the laptops where you reset to factory and Windows is reinstalled from the recovery partition. My guess is that the factory reset just wipes all partitions that contain personal data and settings and leave system intact. So after a wipe and reboot is like you first start it.
You still had CM11 cause the wipe didn't format system...If anyone has a better explanation I would be glad to hear it. So From my point of view nothing went wrong and has nothing to do with the Maximus recovery or it's compatibility with CM11. It would have happen the same if you have used any other stock recovery
Factory reset, resets youre phone to original settings.
Anyway, its good that the phone works.

Yes. And it is not formatting system when doing this. So any os is installed will be kept

I don't want to try it again but I wonder if moonshine's factory reset is incompatible with cm11?
Dont understand what do you mean by "incompatible". The factory reset from bootloader is not the same thing as the one from a custom recovery. You shouldn't do a factory reset from bootloader regardless of the ROM you're using
Moonshine is an S-Off method, I didn't used it myself so I don't know what factory reset option is in there

I never said anything about the custom recovery. If you should never use it, why is it there and why does it make the SD card not available?
Wow, HTC says you can use it here:
http://www.htc.com/us/support/htc-one-x-att/howto/313779.html
I'm sure you know something others like me don't, but I when I mean "incompatible" I mean that I don't believe that it should make the sdcard unavailable and make the phone think it has zero MB. I think what you might have missed is that I used factory reset from the custom boot loader from moonshine. I was wondering if that factory reset was compatible - that's all.
Again, it was a mistake - it's not like I chose it on purpose. Thank you for the help.

The reset to factory from bootloader exists because on stock ROM there's no custom recovery that has that option....so it's in bootloader. For it to work properly though, you must have the stock recovery also. If you have a custom recovery like twrp/cwm and use the wipe from bootloader it'll mess your sd cause phone is not able to perform the wipe properly with that custom recovery. That's why, in order to get back to normal you should flash back stock recovery and perform the wipe from bootloader again.

Thank you for the clarification. It makes sense. Too bad that reset is so close to the recovery command. It's pretty weird that I didn't have to run the wipe from the stock boot loader again. It ran and rebooted the phone into CM11. Anyway, I am glad I am back to running. Thanks.
A week ago, more less, I installed KatKiss-5.0_TF300T_014b.zip on my Asus tf300t and everything was ok until today. When I have turned it on this morning I have noticed that it was staying in a reboot loop.
After that, I tried to reinstall this rom again through TWRP 2.8.0.0 but the reboot was there again. Then I tried to flash CM 11 snapshot m12, but the reboot was earlier. And now i don't know what I should do.
More info: when I flash superSU and gapps, the screen says "E: Unable to mount data" . Perhaps I should do a format data to fix it. What do you think?
Thanks for your answers

I actually got the same problem with it when I flashed that. I did a factory reset from TWRP, then reflashed the ROM and Gapps to make the rebooting stop.
Format data??

I have already tried it (factory reset) and the problem remains. What if i do a "format data"?

The Format data within TWRP will delete all your apps and settings.
Now my tablet is ok after formatting data.
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!
Hi,
I recently tried to install a custom rom (Resurrection Remix) on the latest EMUI version which resulted in my device not booting anymore.
After several tries I gave up and wanted to simply use stock with root.
I installed SuperSU, but that did not show up in the application menu.
After that I recovered system and boot from a recent full backup and installed magisk.
That resulted in the device not booting anymore at all. This condition stays now.
I then reinstalled the stock rom via dload method, with a factory reset after, but it then started to be stuck in the blue screen with the honor logo.
Is there anything I can do? TWRP is gone, I only get the stock EMUI recovery.
This happened to mee too. You should try a wipe data and cache from recovery, then reboot. It worked for me.
P.s i flashed a stock recovery don't know if TWRP will work the same, try.
After the dload update the stock recovery is installed again, I wiped data and cache already, but that didnt make it work too :/
EDIT: Found the error: The /data partition is unusable in it's current state (f2fs). Is F2FS the default filesystem for /data or do I need to change it to ext4 or something?
Hi,
I have an Honor 8 (EMUI 8). I opened the bootloader and flashed TWRP 3.2.0 via Multi-Tool.
Since TWRP asked for a password to the encrypted data partition, I elected to format it (Format Data, type yes) thinking it is empty anyway. However, Android won't boot now. TWRP works fine.
Why is this so?
And is there a quicker solution to the problem than flashing a new ROM?

After many failed attempts I was finally able to revive the phone. I just needed to use Download Latest Version in eRecovery, and a Factory Reset afterwards.
