[Q] [HELP] Error mounting /system & /cache in stock recovery

Guys need your attention & a consoling solution for my bricked phone, that can go in recovery & download mode. But the stock recovery mode says
--Applying multi CSC--
E:failed to mount/system(Invalid arguement)
E:failed to mount/cache(Invalid arguement)
E:cant open /cache/recovery/log
The troubled began when i added internet tweaks to build.prop.
When i reboot, phone got stuck at samsung logo.
Then when i opened cwm their i found error mounting system, & was unable to restore backups but when i used Rafael's "FORMAT ALL EXT4.ZIP" i was able to mount /system in cmw but these errors got shifted to stock recovery
now i'm able to flash zips & restore backups but of no use. still phone stuck at logo
Do i need to take my phone to Service center or any other advices?

The reason you are getting those errors is that stock recovery cannot handle ext4, that's normal.
Probably the simplest thing to do would be to follow the unbrick tutorial:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1840645

thanks for specifying the Ext4 problem...
can i get back to Ext3 by flashing any zip through cmw recovery?

Well rfs is the default file system format, not ext3. If you use this version of CWM then you can go to mounts and storage > format /cache, /system and /data back to rfs. However you will obviously now have no ROM on your phone so will still need to either restore a backup or flash a zip of a ROM that includes the entire /system folder, which is most, if not all. I've never tried this technique by the way, so no guarantees here.
Also try to restore only Nandroid backups made with the same version of CWM that you are using to avoid problems.

Soft Brick pt7310? can't mount /data - /sdcard , bootloop

hi everybody.
yesterday i have flashed my p7310 from stock honeycomp to cm10.1-experimental.
descriped here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2060530
works good, just the strange screen flickering after wakeup from standby.
see here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1989398&highlight=wakeup
because this I tried to reflash it with GT-P7310_XAR_P7310UELA3.
descriped link above.
now I'm in a bad state.
actually cwm 5.5.0.4 is installed.
if I try to boot my rom it loops at samsung logo.
if I select "wipe data/factory reset" in cwm I get:
-- wiping data...
formatting /data
error mounting /data!
skipping format...
formatting /cache
formatting /sd-ext
formatting /sdcard/.android_secure...
error mounting /sdcard/.android_secure!

I have tryed to install stock rom P7310XXLPO_P7310XEULPO_XEU.zip via odin. install works, bootloop
installed ClockworkMod_Recovery_v5.5.0.4.tar via odin. install works
repartitioned via odin (p5_0614.pit) and install stock rom, install works, but still bootloop.
if i connect via adb i can push Clockwork_Recovery_6.0.0.8_GT-P7310.zip to /sdcard, but no access via cwm and "choose zip from sdcard". error: E: can't mount /sdcard/
if i list files via adb shell from /sdcard and /data there are no files.
can somebody help me?

one more info.
in adb shell, if i try to mount /data manually, i get following message:
[email protected]:/ # mount /data
mount /data
mount: mounting /dev/block/mmcblk0p8 on /data failed: Invalid argument
i assume that this blk device has no filesystem. but how can i format it manually?

ok... i solved it.
who want's to know how i solved:
i formated /data with ext4 via adb shell.
[email protected]:/system/bin # /system/bin/make_ext4fs /dev/block/mmcblk0p8
where /dev/block/mmcblk0p8 is my /data (according to the fstab)
after that i was able to mount /data !!!
i flashed cwm 5.5.0.4 again via odin, flashed (odin) stock rom (works now!)

It seems that I have a similar (if not exactly the same problem). Problem is, I'm not exactly tech savvy enough to
understand/execute your solution on my own.

Can you tell us how you go about formatting your SDCARD? I have a similar problem and can't mount E: data/ whenever I try TWRP or CWM recoveries on my p7300. Can you give us step by step or at least a link where to start. Sorry, I am not familiar with ADB.
Thanks for your support with this tab.

Close the terminal window, unplug your phone, and try again with a new terminal window. If that doesn't work restart your computer and start over.

[Q] Having some Big problems on my motorola razr i! please help.

Hey guys.
So i have this razr i with TWRP 2.8.0.0 recovery installed on my phone and my bootloader is unlocked. I have installed several diferent roms on it over time, and this time i tried to install the unofficial Cyanogenmod 11 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/razr-i/development/rom-unofficial-cyanogenmod-11-t2966855) but things went totally wrong when i formated the phone on recovery.
Here's what i did:
1- booted into recovery
2- went to the "wipe" tab
3- taped on "advanced wipe" and selected eveything (Dalvik cache/System/Cache/Data/Internal storage/Micro SDcard), then started formatting
4- after about an hour and a half it was still checking for md5... so i rebooted
5- when i rebooted i realized that everything was gone, including the rom files on the sdcard, so i passed the files from my pc again and tried to install but nothing happend.
6- now for unkown reasons all i see is:
Code:
E: Unable to mount '/data'
E: unable to recreate /data/media folder.
Updating partition details...
E: unable to mount '/data'
E: unable to mount internal storage.
E: unable to mount /data/media during GUI startup
FUll SElinux support is present.
E: unable to mount /data/media/TWRP/.twrps when trying to read settings file
E: unable to mount '/data'
MTP Enabled
So... My PC has the motorola drivers installed and i've also tried on mac (i have a Macbook pro with widows and mac os), but none of the recognize my phone so i can't use adb or anything that could help with this.
Does anyone know what to do? I just want to install stock jellybean again and then try the cm11 rom.

Can you boot into recovery? maybe you can try adb sideload.

Yes i can, bootloader and recovery, but as i said my phone isn't recognized so adb sideload does not work.
I tried using mac because i read somewhere that you don't need drivers on there, but it didn't work either... unless i'm doing something wrong

I've experienced with similar situation getting no adb in TWRP. However, when I chose Advanced/Adb sideload, adb sideload did work for me.
PS: Maybe you can try install aother recovery.

Hey! Apparently, your phone has now all the partitions corrupt, because of that failed format. Have you tried installing a stock ROM through RSD Lite?
I once had a similar issue, solved it with a clean SBF flash.
Also, to install a new ROM, you should:
1.Boot in TWRP
2.Go to 'Settings'
3.Check 'Use rm -rf instead of formatting.'
Then, the wiping process wont take more than a couple of seconds, and should install ROM's without problems.
Hope you solve it, and sorry for my english if I made any mistakes.

Have u read the install instructions? The instructions stated that u needed to use the latest recoverys and u still use the 2.8.0.0 one.
The earlier versions have problems on some phones like the one u have now. Some do have the problem some don't. U can fix it by erasing the userdata through fastboot hopefully or by installing touchcwm (the earliest of recoverys for this device) and formatting it that way. Most of the time this fixes the problem.

EDIT:
By the way, how do you do an SBF flash?

You have to download one from your region. You can make it to the fastboot menu? And it doesn't detect the phone?

Error flashing custom ROM

Hey friends.I have HTC One (m7) HBOOT(1.61.0000) (OS-7.19.401.30) with TWRP 2.6.3.3.
I did a backup and yesterday i tried to restore and my phone wont start.After that i wipe everything (no OS installed now) and try to flash a ROM(CarbonTEAM-LP5.1.1.C1-RELEASE-20150811-1840-m7.zip) and after unsuccesful flash i thy with (cm-Resurrection_Remix_LP_v5.3.4-20150216-m7.zip) and i get everytime this error
could not detect filesystem for /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/system,
assuming ext4 mount: failed to mount /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/system at /system:No such file or directory unmount of /system failed; no such volume could not detect filesystem for /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/system,assuming ext4 mount:failed /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/system at /system:no such file or directory unmount of /system failed; no such volume script succeded:result was[0.2000000].
I get this error either i sideload the ROM.zip file either i put it at sdcard and flash it from recovery.
So how i'm supposed to make it work??To flash a ROM??(tried the above with the CWM too)
THANKS in advance sorry for bad English!!

All roms based on CM must be flashed using TWRP 2.7.1.1 or newer. Update your recovery and flash again.
