Hello,
I turned on my Xoom to see "Encryption Unsuccessful" tonight. If i boot into stock recovery and try to factory reset, it cannot mount Cache. If I plug the device into my computer, fastboot can find it but ADB cannot. I have the proper drivers installed. I can't get into my tablet to turn on USB debugging. I just bought an OTG cable to try to fix it, but cannot find the update.zip file that I need. If i try to fastboot oem unlock, it fails. I've tried everything I can find, I've done hours worth of playing/trial and error to no avail. Any help would be fantastic. Truly at a stand still. Please ask with any specifics needed to assist me.
Is it possible to flash to CWM recovery without being able to boot/find it in ADB?
Thank you,
Bradon

Nearly to the point of offering some sort of payment for assisting me. I'd rather not ship it out, but more than glad to work something out paypal or giftcard wise. This tablet is the only thing keeping my wife entertained, and another tablet is not in the budget.
But u can connect with fastboot to device ?
if yes this should help you

Probably you will lose all data on it ... Why u wanted to encrypt u device ...
I did it too but it was missunderstanding specialy when flashing a lot .
Alright so...
I've used fast boot flash user data, system, recovery and boot. Those are all successful, but if I reboot.. Nothing changes.
I've loaded many zips onto a flash drive with an otg cable, boot into the stock recovery and try to update, unable to verify signature.
Adv will not find the device, reinstalled drivers many times
Rsd will not find the device
Factory reset fails, cannot mount cache and about 10 other cache/recovery errors
Fast boot OEM unlock fails, unable to write a certain 3 letter file
I'm at work right now, so I can post specifics/pics later.
I didn't try to encrypt it, it seemed like a virus that my wife got. She clicks on advertisements, downloads sketchy files/apps.
It is unrooted, stock recovery.
20+ hours of research and trial.. No success.
Can u use this ?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1074979
Use 2 method.
Write response what happend and it does flash recovery .
You have to unlock bootloader
look here simillar problem :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1571827
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1952628
And u do not need any special otg cabel - use stock xoom from package. OTG is for host-usb.
Anyway u will have to do it with fastboot , probably /cache partialy encrypted.
Alright, I just followed the CWM recovery guide.
First off, ADB does not find my device, meaning I cannot reboot into the bootloader. I can flash the recovery only after flashing userdata for some reason. After flashing, it says complete though when I reboot nothing changes. The other 2 links, first one I can't use because adb doesn't find my device, and the 2nd one.. I don't think xoom has a "download mode".
Thanks
Ok, so when u push down button in booting u have only recovery ?
U should have fastboot too ... try to press up vol 1 s after booting, then connect to pc, and check in device manager rmb on "My pc"
And ? .... This must working ... Use fastboot.exe in cmd ( in windows 7 ) on Administrator User.
Also, when I first boot up recovery I get
E: failed to mount /cache (invalid argument.)
E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/command
E: Failed to mount /cache (invalid argument)
E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/log
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/log

If i try to factory reset or clear the cache, I get the same message.
U do not understand what u reading, u cant do this from recovery ...
U have partialy crypted storage ... its normal!
1. download fastboot on windows
2. install drivers from
1) Get the Motorola USB drivers MOTODEV > Documentation & Tools > USB Drivers (you need to sign up on their but maybe you can google this and find it as well)
2) Get the Android SDK Android SDK | Android Developers (you only really need the fastboot executable file for your host OS)

3. run fastboot protocol on xoom press down vol "find fastboot" if not press top vol in booting - should fastboot protocol ... in output
4. Use fastboot.exe from android sdk - run in in cmd ( Run ad Administrator , right click on cmd)
4. unlock bootloader
5. flash rom boot recovery in *.img format!
This must working...
When I connect it to my PC in fastboot mode, it comes up as "Mot Single ADB Interface"

Me too
I have this problem too.
Guys, please search the forum before posting, so your issues would get resolved quickly.
OK, Now towards your problem.
A lot of people are getting the same error and the results from corruptioning of /data. First try factory reset from fastboot, then reboot. If it doesn't help then do a factory reset again and reboot your phone. If doesn't seen to help either then the only option left is to flash stock firmware through PC. Search the forum and you will get the desired result. Beaware that you will end up losing all your apps and SD card data.

So here's a detailed instruction for you to follow.
1. In fast boot mode connect phone to PC.
2. In CMD (adb) in PC type the command "fastboot devices" without quotes and post the reply to me.
3. In the CMD, type the command "adb erase userdata","adb erase cache" without quotes. (It will wipe all your data and SD card)
4. Now download the firmware (new firmware download it in case there may be issues with the old one you have downloaded) and also TWRP-2.7.0.0.falcon by dhacker. Copy both the files in the adb folder.
5. Rename the twrp-2.7.0.0.falcon.IMG to recovery.img
6. Connect your phone to PC in fastboot mode and flash the recovery by topping command "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"without quotes.
7. On your phone scroll to recovery option and long press volume up key until the phone vibrates. The phone will boot into recovery.
8. In recovery goto advanced-file manager. And check whether your /datafilleris empty or not (it will be empty)
9. In recovery go to wipe and wipe /system /data /cache. Next reboot your phone to boot loader mode.
10. Flash any firmware from your PC through fastboot. Then reboot your phone.
If it doesn't help either reply to me, there's other workaround too.

This is the same thing a friend told me to do we did it had no luck Did it 2 times just in case I dint do it right the first time
Moto g not booting up.
I hope you have an unlocked boot loader.
The first thing you need to find out is that are your phone's partition writable and readable.
1. Download the latest CM11 nightly to your PC rename it to "CM.zip" and extract the contents to adb folder (adb folder should be in C drive i.e. C:/adb ). You will get boot. img , system (folder), and others.
1. connect your phone to PC in fastboot mode.
2.In adb type the below commands one by one without quotes. And let one command get processed before typing other.
"fastboot devices" (in response it must show you something like TJ9*****)
"fastboot erase userdata"
"fastboot erase cache"
"fastboot push C:/adb\system /system/"
"fastboot flash boot boot.img"
"fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"(flash the philz recovery now)
"fastboot push C:/adb\boot.img /data/"(to verify whether /data is writable or not)
"fastboot push C:/adb\boot.img /cache/"(to verify whether /cache is writable or not)
"fastboot push C:/adb\CM.zip /data/media/0/"(to push the CM11rom to sdcard to flash it through recovery)
Then boot your phone to recovery. And see the logs, it should show
/system mounted
/data mounted
/sd-ext error mounting /sd-ext
/cache mounted
If it shows /data can't be mounted or error mounting /data. Then go to wipe and wipe /data and /sdcard and then again push CM.zip to /data/media/0/. If you don't see this error, then choose to wipe to install a new rom. After this remount /system /data /cache and flash the CM11.zip or you can flash stock firmware through mfastboot.
This method will definitely work since I, myself had this very same issue and got it resolved the very same way.
P.S. Try this method and only of you get some error then reply as I an sure it will solve your issue.

Didn't know why first method didn't worked for you but the second one would definitely work. If you get any error then reply to me, and yes in my second method post by mistake there are some extra space added after full stop (.) e.g. in boot. img (it is boot.img ) do please avoid that.

Don't worry your phone is fine.
Whenever adb shows m mismatched partition it's fine and usual.
I understand your problem now, I just think if I your device now , I would have repaired it within minutes. Never mind, follow the below steps .
Download the philz recovery to your PC, flash it through fastboot on your phone. Then go to recovery on your phone immediately and choose wipe-wipe data and sdcard. And then flash the stock firmware through mfastboot or install any ROM through recovery.
Anyone report which step what must i do to solve this prob

Read post #7 on page 1.
I cant push system to device. What tools must be i have?
If you can't push system to device don't worry , it's of no use at all because you'll format it before flashing the rom. But if you're flashing through recovery then make sure to push CM. zip to /sdcard/.
You need adb tools on your PC, just search Google for adb tools and download it. You need stock firmware of your phone on PC if you'd flash the rom through mfastboot and you need philz recovery ( to flash it on your phone.)
If you can't get anything or don't understand anything then do search the forum for help because all the things are already mentioned and if i had to answer it mostly would be copy-paste. But still if you need help, I am there. Just post your problem.

I'm having similar issues as everyone else here. I unlocked my bootloader following Motorola's instructions on their website, then I used Superboot to root the phone (which I don't think worked as CWM and TWRP kept asking to install SU on reboot). After that I put CM 11 M4 on sdcard and flashed.
This is where it went wrong. I rebooted and got a bootloop, so I looked around online and ended up wiping everything and trying again. It still didn't work so I followed instructions to reflash stock firmware, this didn't work either. By this time the phone had been on ages and went dead. Now it won't turn back on and won't register as charging from USB or from wall plug.
I have no idea what to do as nothing worked before hand and now I can't access it to resolve the issue.
I'm panicking atm because I'm contracted to Virgin Mobile in the UK and this voids the warranty. I just don't know what to do D:

Plug the phone to wall charger and leave it to charge for the whole night, the next when you'd restart the phone it should boot up. Sometimes the phone discharged itself to such a level that it didn't have enough juice left to show the battery charging status even.
After that follow instructions from post #7 on page 1 and paste all output commands you see. Well, the phone should boot up.

Mismatched partition size is usual , no need to worry about that. What do you mean by UBL warning message? And yes, after you flash recovery, enter in recovery mode and wipe data and sdcard and then flash any ROM from fastboot.
And if you get into an error or solution doesn't work then post your problem but detailed so I can get to the main cause of the problem.
Hi all the expert
I having some problem with my phone/screen.
Been using this phone for 6 month. Last night my phone will auto went dark. I have to restart it in order ot turn it on. Today after i press the power button to off the screen, it went dark when i try to make it up. I have to use hard reboot by pressing the power button down for long time in order to restart the phone.
After that, I'm able to go into the android. However, if I turn off the screen again, it went dark again.
The problem now is, after few times of trying that (I mean hard restart the phone), now I cannot log into my android system. After the Google Logo and the 4 colour logo, it just went dark.
I try to plugi in my phone with USB to connect it to my PC, but it show nothing.
I try to wipe all the data by using the factory reset when i press down the volume key and power button, after wiping it, it doesn't work.
What should I do now ?
=============================================
When I do factory reset, it will either stuck here, or gone black. here is the picture:

Download the factory images then use the following command: fastboot flash cache.img
If needed flash the whole factory images.

First off, you have to install and set up adb & fastboot on your PC.
Donwload and extract factory images until you find the cache.img file. Put this file into your platform-tools folder (SDK directory).
Open a cmd from this folder and enter the command. Your phone must be into fastboot mode (hold on Vol down + Power) and plug in to your PC.
You should find more details on the sticky threads.

Hi sir, I'm getting this error message when I execute the "flash-all.bat" file.
Here is the picture:
tinypic.com/r/oid9hf/8
I run it ad administrator from Windows Operating System. I'm using the "4.4.3 (KTU84M)" file. Maybe I should use "4.4.2 (KOT49H)"?
If I right click and choose Open the "flash-all.bat" file it show this message"

as you can see, fastboot does not find the image-hammerhead-ktu84m.zip file and the bootloader image. Are the zip an bootloader image in the same folder as the flash-all.bat?

Is you phone into fastboot mode? Did you already set up Fastboot on your PC? Is your bootloader unlocked? etc...
Check all pre-requisites from your above link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/general/tutorial-how-to-flash-factory-image-t2513701

I have unlock the bootloder and able to do all these step, however once after I turn the phone on, passed the Google and 4 colour logo, I stuck at the Language screen, the screen cannot be touch, i can only power volume up and down and press the power button. Something wrong with my phone ?
★Power off your phone.
★Boot it in fastboot by pressing and holding Power Button + Volume Down at the same time.
★Connect your phone to your PC through your USB cable.
★Execute the flash-all.bat script (for Windows) or flash-all.sh(for MAC and LINUX) in the folder where you extracted the factory images.
**!!** For MAC: You'll have to edit the flash-all.sh, and add "./" before every fastboot command.
★Wait for everything to flash.
★After everything finished, select "Recovery" using the volume buttons.
★When a small Android appears, press Power Button + Volume UP.
★Select "Wipe data/factory data reset"
★Reboot. Your phone should be stock.
So you didn't use fastboot flash cache.img?
BTW after using the factory images the phone reboots itself so it's weird that you reboot manually...

I explained you how to do that:
Download and extract factory images until you find the cache.img file. Put this file into your platform-tools folder (SDK directory).
Open a cmd from this folder and enter the following commands:
fastboot devices (you should see your serial number)
fastboot flash cache.img
Your phone must be into fastboot mode (hold on Vol down + Power) and plug in to your PC.

Thanks for the reply, appreciate it.
Ok I did what you said.
1. I downloaded the 4.4.2 (KOT49H) from: developers.google.com/android/nexus/images#hammerhead
2. I extract the file and copy the "cache.img" and pasted it into C:\Users\NixLeong\AppData\Local\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools. So the directory looks like this: tinypic.com/r/2bvcw7/8
3. I shift+ Right Click to open the CMD from the "platform-tools" directory. I typed the command: fastboot flash cache.img
4. This is the error message I got: tinypic.com/r/2ur6ln9/8

The correct command for flashing cache is..
fastboot flash cache cache.img
Try this and report back.
---------- Post added at 08:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:40 PM ----------
If the problem still persists, flash all the .img files manually like this:
Go to bootloader and fire these commands via cmd opened from the fastboot folder. (All .img files needs to be in the folder as well!)
Code:
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img (File name may be different)
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash radio radio.img (File name may be different)
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash userdata userdata.img (This will wipe the entire /sdcard)
fastboot flash cache cache.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot erase cache
After following this, reboot your phone to the stock recovery and perform a factory reset and finally reboot! Everything should hopefully be fixed by now. If the problem still persists, RMA it.

Thanks, the command works, I followed every step till last. When I try to do the factory reset, I saw this error message:
E:failed to mount / cache (Invalid argument)
E: can't mount /cache/recovery/log

What does it mean ?

This means that the /cache partition is messed up.. Head over to the stock recovery again and format cache a couple of times and I'm sure the messages will go away. (No need to factory reset again)
XDA Friends,
WOULD YOU LIKE TO MAKE A LITTLE MONEY TODAY???
I am calling out to you in DIRE need. I have royally screwed up my brand new Razer phone (US) and as far as I can tell there is only one way back and that is to get one of you gracious souls to do me a very big favor. What I need is a SD Card that has been formatted to work on a Razor phone and that contains, an ENTIRE cheryl-global-3005.zip. One that has not only the boot.img but the system.img. The reason I need to get this from one of you is that while I was in TWRP I accidentally flashed boot.img in System instead of Boot. This overwrote System and so now I cannot boot into the main system, it essentially goes into a boot loop. So that means I cannot get adb to work which means I cannot move files onto the SD Card (that is specially formatted for that phone and cannot be used to move files physically). And I failed to get the entire image onto the sd card prior to this happening so I do not have a system.img file on the phone in any capacity with which to flash to at least get back to factory.
So I'm thinking that if I can get someone to send me a formatted sd card that contains the full cheryl zip then I can put that card in my phone flash the system.img file from it that should get me back.
If you are willing to help me out with this I WILL PAY YOU.
PLEASE send me a private message here so we can arrange this as soon as possible. I'm phoneless without this fix.
You forgot to mention where are you from, my friend.
My advice comes free of charge:
Hold the power key until the device shuts off. Then download the system images from https://developer.razerzone.com/razer-phone-dev-tools/factory-images/
Unzip this file and run the flash_all.bat file. (I assume you have fastboot set up already considering you've flashed TWRP). Once this completes you should see it booting up to a stock system.
You also have the option of manually flashing the system.img from this factory image using fastboot. No SD card required
Unfortunately, I cannot get to the download mode anymore in order to use fastboot. The only thing I can get to is TWRP. Any other attempt just sends it into bootloop.
@Kimbaroth I'm from North Carolina, United States.

OK scratch that I am able to get into download mode now. @Flippy125 thanks for the advice. I'll give that a try.
Ok, I am able to run fastboot devices and I can see that it recognizes the device. However, when i try to run "fastboot flash flash_all.bat" I get the following error message: unknown partition 'flash_all.bat'
error: cannot determine image filename for 'flash_all.bat'
I also tried "fastboot push cheryl-global-3005.zip" and that failed with error: unknown command push
I also tried "fastboot flash system.img" and that failed with error: unknown partition 'system.img'
error: cannot determine image filename for 'system.img'
Not sure what I'm doing wrong here. Any thoughts?

I think you meant "fastboot flash system_a system.img"
And you don't need to do "fastboot flash flash_all.bat", you just double click flash_all.bat that is inside the folder and it should work, as long as you have fastboot correctly installed
EDIT: I'm not sure, but I think "flash_all.bat" would erase all your files. Can anyone confirm this?

fastboot flash system system.img
@el4nimal and @waiflih
What is the difference between system and system_a?
Also, can you explain what slot A and slot B are? I have not run into those terms before when rooting other phones (previous was a Nexus 6p).
Thanks for the help guys! I really appreciate it. I'm at work right now so I will try your suggestions at lunch when I can run home for bit.

I'm not sure, but I think those are partitions like C:/ and D:/ on a PC.
"System_a" would flash system.img only on Slot A, "System_b" on Slot B, I don't know what "system" does....i think it flashes both
IT'S ALIVE!
So "fastboot flash system system.img" is what worked. Appears that running that command updated system_a based on what I could see in the cmd prompt logging. But it worked as I am now able to boot into the operating system. THANK YOU GUYS SO MUCH!!! You saved me $700. What can I do to support you?

Reading this brought a warm feeling to my heart. Have fun with the phone. It's great!
Glad this got sorted. I think I can speak for all of us tinkerers when I say we've all been in this situation before and called upon the forum for advice. Pay it forward ^_^
Hello,
So I've just read this in another thread:
"Open a command window and run the following command from the proper location:
fastboot boot path/to/twrp.img
This will temporarily boot TWRP on your device. Use ADB or MTP to transfer the zip onto your device."
So far, my understanding that I can't install twrp when using android Q, but can I follow the above instructions to temporarily boot into twrp in order to make a backup?
I know Google have changed some partitioning stuff with the pixels so I don't want to screw anything up is all
Many thanks

TWRP Is not *working* on Android 10 ... beside only booting you can also install it on your device but you will not be able to do a backup.
Ah OK, thanks for that, appreciate it. ? I'll stay tuned. I'm coming over from S7 stock oreo so I'm just relearning what's going on currently.
