[Q] Corrupt Data Partition - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi
I just tried flashing ARHD 20.2 coming from rooted stock 4.1.2 via CWM touch. The rom won't install, halfway through the phone just re-starts. Also whenever I try a factory wipe or data re-format from cwm my phone re-starts immediately. So I have recovery but I can't flash a new ROM.
Have I corrupted my data partition somehow? Is there a way around this? Maybe via a new recovery or kernel? My searches on xda haven't come up with much. Any ideas? Thanks.

HI, thanks for the advice although I don't understand what you want me to do. I guessed you might have meant try going back to stock which I just tried but that didn't work. I do not seem to be able to flash any ROM.
I can enter in and out of CWM recovery but that is it. My phone is formatted and wiped (excepting my suspect data partition???). So I am doing all flashing etc by adb and fastboot.
I tried a TRWP flash over the top of CWM but it only briefly flashes the twrp logo and then restarts the phone, so I have gone back to CWM which at least works.
In my CWM log I see this
I: Can't partition non-vfat: datamedia
I: Can't format unknown volume: /emmc
Any attempt to format data still just restarts the phone.

to add more info to my situation: if I choose the wipe data option in the install of ARHD 20.2 the phone immediately restarts on the commencement of the installation.
If I don't choose the wipe data option the installation seems to fail when it has finished unpacking.

I had an older version but used my computer to flash 2.6.0.0, which didnt do anything. i then flashed CWM 6.0.3.3 (touch) using my computer merely out of frustration last night. Here is the process I used for flashing both imgs in case you were curious: shift + right click in the folder with CWM img, fastboot flash recovery "name_of_the_recovery.img," fastboot erase cache.
Once again, this didnt do a thing, I just keep getting the same error when i touch "choose zip from sdcard" ---> E: Can't mount /sdcard/

Recovery problems

Hey,
After updating my HTC one with OTA for latest Hboot I flashed Viperone 2.0. now i try to install a custom kernel ( tried different ones) but i cant get it to install.
Recovery starts aroma, I'm able to check/uncheck all the options, but when it starts to install, my recovery just reboots. I tried TWRP, and CWM touch and non touch. I always wipe cache with fastboot erase cache. Did this like 100 times. Also wiped cache partition and dalvik in recovery. Downloaded the kernels multiple times on phone, and I transferred them from PC. I had the same issue with the xposed patch for xprivacy, but not when I installed the rom. I never had this issue before upgrading my Hboot.
Do I miss something? Anyone familiar with this? Any help appreciated

I had a similar problem with a broken .zip-file. If it goes to Aroma installer it is very unlikely to be the problem but try to redownload the file. What versions of TWRP and CWM are you using?
What Hboot version did you flash? Why didn't you flash the complete 2.24 firmware package?
Tried fastboot erase cache already?

I've downloaded the zips multiple times, on my phone and I also transfered them from my PC. So its unlikely that the zip is broken. I restored a stock nandroid/stock recovery to recieve the OTA 4.2.2, and my Hboot is now 1.54. After that I reflashed recovery and installed viperone.
I used CWM 6.0.3.5 and TWRP 2.6.0.1. Also did fastboot erase cache multiple times.
I'm gonna search for CWM 6.0.3.2, and give that a try.
When i try to flash the kernel through Venom Hub, recovery give the error:
E: Invalid command argument
Finding update package...
E: unknown volume for path [INTERNALSDCARD: 0/venom/kernel/ElementalX-m7-3.4.zip
E: Can't mount INTERNALSDCARD: 0/venom/kernel/ElementalX-m7-3.4.zip
Instalation aborted
When i go to mounts and storage in CWM, there is no option to mount/unmount sdcard. Shouldnt there be a option for this?
Try downloading the kernel directly from flar's thread and leave it in your Downloads folder and then try flashing it from there in recovery

I did a format, re-downloaded the file, and still the same I'm running out of options here lol
I format/wiped everything in recovery, sdcard, factory reset etc. Pushed a rom with adb, and installed. But when i try to install a kernel I've got the same problem....
Ok I checked with a friend in recovery, an he has the option to mount sdcard... I don't have this option in recovery. Something wrong with my sdcard?

Sdcard is actually the same as your internal memory. If something would be wrong with it it would not even boot up. If I got that right you even select the files you want to flash from your SD.

Okay, so i guess that has nothing to do with the problem i cant flash kernels...
I'm having exactly the same problem after flashing ViperOne 2.0.0. I tried redownloading the zip file several times, other kernels and changing recovery but nothing has helped. I was able to flash a custom kernel fine on ViperOne 1.2.1. I wonder if the ROM has something to do with it...

Hmm I'm on viperone 2.0 too, Rom does nothing to recovery right ?
I think I just fix it by going very slowly through aroma on when installing the kernel. Like 5 seconds wait on every step , and now it installs fine....

Ah okay. I would then flash a custom recovery. You can access the bootloader correct? What method did you use to install the rom? Clean flash or wipe is when you erase all the phone's system files, leaving a blank slate for a new rom to be installed on, and should be done before installing a brand new rom to avoid any issues.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2568662
This is the link to the recovery image I used, it's the latest clockwordmod touch recovery. Very easy to flash as long as you have fast boot setup correctly. Once you have a working recovery you should be able to try a re-flash.

Was the recovery still stock or was a custom one flashed? Which process did you follow to root the phone? Since you can't access the recovery at the moment is suggesting it is stock. A failed rom install shouldn't corrupt recovery

I remember I've unlocked the bootloader.
I used the method described on this french website : phonandroid.com/tutoriel-comment-rooter-son-htc-one.html
On the bootloader now, i can do a factory reset. Can it be a solution ? will it or not delete the root ?

I'm not sure, since you have tried to flash another rom, a factory reset might not solve the issue. Trying shouldn't brick the phone but I can't say for sure, sorry!

Could you send me a link to the rom you flashed? Try downloading a different rom. As you can't boot a ROM your only option may be to use ADB to push a new ROM onto your phone's storage.

It may have been a bad download. There isn't really any reason for it to not work, although it does say on the page it "You need TRWP 2.6.3.3 custom recovery!"
Not to worry, you can flash it in no-time. Ok so just as before, just flash a new recovery (again) and use the latest image from here: http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/m7/
This should allow you to install the rom as the developers intend. It is strange though, i've never encountered a rom where a specific recovery was needed.

Try to use CWM recovery from CoCore Kernel and see if you can flash custom ROM's.
But make a backup in CWM of your stock ROM, because that one from TWRP don't work in CWM.

Redownload the ROM. Zip is corrupted, or you renamed the folder zip and name contain spaces.
Try first with redownload. I'm almost sure for corrupted zip.

Hmm, now you have custom recovery.
Enter in recovery, and if choose backup to sdcard1., and wit until finish that operation and receive message "backup complete".
Then, if you already have downloaded ROM and GApps, make wipe cache and dalvik and do a wipe of data/factory reset (be sure you have already backed up your apps with some backup app like Titanium Backup or other), go to install zip, choose zip from external card and proceed to flash, first ROM after that GApps.

How to go back Stock ROM from CM?

How to back from Cyanogenmod to MIUI official global ROM?
Any help?
Factory wipe and flash recovery image of MIUI in TWRP.

If you have encryption enabled, you have to wipe EVERYTHING, including internal storage.

Sorry didn't read the part where you said you got a "No OS installed" message, so you were already able to completely remove cm.
It sounds more like you're using the wrong zip or something, maybe try redownloading the zip ?

Tried with different versions of miui but no luck
Trying unmounting the /system partition before you flash it. Solved it for me anyway.

That's what happens when you wipe system. The issue seems to be that he does not know how to get the ROM zip into internal storage after messing with TWRP wipe.

You might as well just manually wipe data, system and cache in the advanced menu.
Reboot back into TWRP and drag the file into your internal storage to flash. Or you can just adb sideload the rom.
If you're trying to put your ROM in via booting up android, it's not going to work because you've already wiped the system, hence no OS.

So, how can I put the rom via USB in twrp?

It should mount usb by default, at least for me.
If not, go to mount -> mount USB storage to manually mount it.

I used to have a problem with encryption on a MIUI rom, and no matter what I did, flashing only system or anything other than a full wipe including internal storage didn't do anything. Thought he had the same problem

He does have the same problem. However his dilemma now after doing a full wipe is that he does not know how to put stuff in his internal storage without booting into system.
