I've been playing around with Custom ROMS and would like to go back to MIUI now. Problem is that I cant seem to restore back to stock partition. I searched online and there was a tutorial that teaches how to manually wipe the partitions and rewrite them one by one. Problem is that there's something wrong with my phone. When I type "adb shell" it shows an "error:closed" message. Little bit of searching reveals that it is due to outdated ADB. But I checked my ADB version and it is the latest being 1.0.32 or something like that. I couldnt find a newer version. I thought it was a driver issue so I reinstalled the drivers and even tried it on a Mac (I'm windows) but it shows the same error. To be clear, I can push files via ADB no problem. So it leads me to believe that it might be a recovery issue? I'm on TWRP 2.8.7 which I believe is the latest one too. Could someone advice on how I can restore to stock partition? Script doesnt work because it is not accurate to the byte. Thanks

I cant use miflash because my partition sizes are not stock.
BUMP for help.
Try to use the Cancro's re-partition script zip (you could easily Googled it) with CWM. It works wonky with TWRP.
First, place the script on your internal storage using MTP through TWRP, then flash the CWM through fastboot. Reboot, then run the script.

Hi noir, thanks for the reply. Can you confirm that it works on CWM? I'm asking because according to this miui forum thread, it says that the zip method doesnt really restore it to the BYTE, thus causing miflash(fastboot) methods to not work. That was the result of my own trying but I haven tried with CWM recovery.
The annoying part of all this is that I'm on the 16gb version and I dont have enough space to do a nandroid. Hence, would like to reconfirm before I wipe my system again only to fail the partition restore. Thanks!

TWRP doesn't really detect system2 partition correctly, since it was unmounted. Only CWM, AFAIK, that can detect both system1 and system 2, unmounted or not.
Weird, because I can flash it through MiFlash after using the re-partition script just yesterday. The only problem that I have is that I forgot to format the internal SD too. I simply go to CWM then format the internal SD too. After that, I can flash it through MiFlash just fine.
Can I ask you which re-partition script do you used? Just in case, I attached the script that I used.

Hey Noir,
Just to give you an update. I have managed to successfully flash miui7 using miflash. You must be right regarding TWRP not recognising system2, that's what's causing all the error. Thank you very much for your help. Now I can go back to using MIUI.

My i9305 is routed, and has clockwork mod installed on it, still running the new EE 4.1.2 official rom thought.
Im unable to mount the data partition in clockwork mod which means i cant create any backups of my phone as it fails.
The internal sd card partition wont mount either when i try and intsall a zip from internal sdcard i get cannot mount /emmc.
I think my partitions are messed up and i probably need to reflash a PIT file to get them back in the right place.
Can anyone confirm that this is right?? And if http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1950591 is the corrrect PIT file to use for me?

Thanks for your suggestions; I’ve actually managed to fix it now.
I actually forgot to mention a fact which as it turns out was the reason for my problems.
The device was encrypted and CWM can’t deal with encryption or the encryption would be useless!!
I unencrypted the device and I’m now able to mount both partitions.
Can’t believe I didn’t think of this in the first place and nearly flashed a pit file!!!
Hi all, this is my first post on XDA. I'm having big troubles with my device, a Samsung Galaxy S Plus i 9001 and I'm looking for some advice.
After a clean installation of the rom i had been using for some time I started to get messages of force close for most of the apps installed at every boot. The ROM in question is SmoothieICS v2. I believe that the reason of this issue is the fact that I restored all the apps and the data with Titanium backup. To solve the problem I tried to restore a nandroid backup via CWM (version 6.0.1.0), but when a rebooted, the backup was not installed at all and the force close messages continued. After that I tried to wipe data and cache, reinstall the ROM via CWM and Odin, install the stock ROM, fix permissions, format the partition, but nothing worked. Every time I reboot the device, the old ROM boot up with the same force close messages.
I've read several posts on XDA with similar issues, but usually a clean reinstall worked fine. At the moment I'm out of option.
Find attache a copy of the logcat recorded after rebooting the device.
Any suggestion to save my phone is really appreciated.
Thnaks in advance.
Some tips here:
1: Flash BroodROM RC5 (this is an Gingerbread ROM with all the partitions of our device) via odin
2: flash CWM 5.5.0.4 (this is in my eyes the most stable recovery) and wipe all (system, data, cache,dalvic etc)

First solution,
SmoothieICS is an outdated ROM. Currently there are more stable and bug free releases are available for our device. You can try that.
But, the choice is yours, if you want to continue with it,
Access download mode, install a stable and safe recoveries like CWM 5.5.04, TWRP 2.2.1, or CWM 6.0.3.2 via odin or you can try to flash it via current recovery.
Then do a full data wipe, wipe cache, wipe dalvic cache. If necessary, delete the partition and do a full format
Restore the nandroid backup or do a fresh install
Edit: @mrjraider Haven't seen your reply. Silly me, repeated the same thing you said..

That's strange. How is it possible to show up again after deleting and formatting the partition completely.. Are you sure you formatted the data and system in mounts and storage menu of cwm recovery.?
Anyway, Remove your external sd card, and try all the methods again..
Tried again. Did the following:
- removed the external sd card
- rebooted in recovery
- format system and data
- installed CWM 5.5.0.4
- rebooted in recovery
The recovery version installed is still the 6.0.1.0!!!!
It is like the internal SD card can't be written any more.
One thing I maybe didn't mention is that if I delete a file in the internal SD card and the reboot, the file is still there. it is not deleted.
This is really frustrating.

I recognize those symptoms. The i/o of the sdcard is defect.
What happens is that when you want to format random 0 and 1 are being written to remove the data on the card. If your card is broken and cant be written to you will be unable to format or flash anything. And thus the data on the card remains.

Does this mean that the only way to solve the issue is to replace the internal SD card?
Same Issue, but with SGS GT-I9000
I have pretty much the same problem!
Ive been reading a lot and it really seems to be a problem of the internal SD card!
I tried many times to delete all the files on the internal SD card via USB and via Recovery Mode, installed different OS ...nothing worked and most of my apps crash the whole time, so force close to all!
Im now about to decide to use my external SD as internal!
What do you say?
Any ideas
Thanks
I updated my twrp from 2.7.1 to 2.8.3.0. I haven't flashed a rom in a while, so I don't know for sure that it was working on the old one but I did install CM11 using 2.7.1. Now with 2.8.3 when I go into recovery and wipe is says it worked, but in red there is the error: "E: unable to mount /system".
I tried to repair it with twrp, using format /system as ext4, then wipe and it seems to work and mount correctly, but if I restart, into recovery the /system no longer mounts and gives the same error if I try to wipe it. When I select repair, it says the partition is 0mb. When I format as ext4 it then shows as the correct size (~1.8GB).
So bottom line is that when I try to flash a new rom, it gets stuck at the formating /system step. I think the problem is with twrp but I'm not sure. Any ideas what to do?
I have a T-mobile HTC one M7. It was CM11, but everything is wiped. TWRP 2.8.3. S-off unlocked bootloader.
Thanks!

first of all the most reliable version of TWRP recovery is stil 2.6.3.3 or 2.6.3.4, most of the users on here would agree with me on that, newer is not always better.
Also, have you tried the format data option, select wipe then format data button, be warned though, this will wipe everything including your sdcard (internal) if this option works you will then have to sideload or push a rom to your device before you can flash.

Agree 100% but CM11 require at least 2.7.0.8 to be flashed (block:by-name) and recommended version of twrp to flash CM11 is 2.7.1.2 http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_m7
If not flashing a rom like CM11 still recommend using 2.6.3.3/.4 even if there are newer version.
They are talking about this in ARHD thread.
Seems a updater script problem.

Thanks for the link. I tried to find similar threads, but couldn't. They are having the same problem but with a different rom (I was trying to flash Sky Dragon android L). The solution on that thread was to use TWRP 2.6.3.3, but some people reported having no problems with 2.8.3. The install instructions for Sky Dragon say use the latest twrp but doesn't specify a version. I guess I could try TWRP 2.6.3.3 but I'm not sure if it will work since CM requires 2.7.1.
The other solution was to mount the partition manually before flashing using the terminal in recovery. This command was suggested:
Code:
run_program("/sbin/umount", "/system");
Haven't tried any of these solution myself. After 3 hours and wiping my entire data partition by accident, I USB-OTG copied my nandroid backup to my phone and did a complete recovery. Luckily the restore process didn't care about mounting /system. I may try this again with manual mounting, but likely I will wait for a twrp update. I'm not sure if twrp 2.6 supports usb-otg so it will be a pain in the ass if I wipe /data again by accident.
Random side note for anyone googling this, if you accidently wipe all the data from your sdcard and have to copy the nandroid backup for twrp, the the restore function won't recognize the files unless they are in exactly the right directory. The best way to get this is to copy the entire TWRP directory when saving your backup in the first place so you can just copy it back. If you didn't do that then just run a nandroid backup of the blank sdcard and it will recreate the folder structure for you. Then you copy the files into the correct folder.

Exactly this. I do not know the exact reason CM needs 2.7.1 so therefore I don't know if Sky Dragon needs it as well. The instructions just say use the latest twrp.

I did wipe my entire data partition (by accident), but I did not try to format it as ext4. I did format /system to ext4 (so now the partition was displaying correctly as ~1.8gb). The used the twrp repair, then wipe It seemed to work, but if I restarted right then, without even trying to flash the rom, the /system would not mount on reboot to recovery and would show as 0mb. I used all reasonable combinations and permutations of the wipe, repair and format functions on system, nothing worked.
I finally copied my nandroid backup via usb-otg and recovered back to cm11.
So i tried to install a custom rom, now my storage is encrypted and i can't install apps or anything on my device.
I unlocked the bootloader, install twrp, it didn't ask me for a password however. I then did advanced wipe, system data cache.
I then couldn't copy anything to my internal storage, so reflashed miui using miflash tool.
My device is working fine, but when plugged in, all the folders on my internal storage come up as random numbers and letters (which i assume means its encrypted). I have tried downloading something via chrome and it says "sd card not found".
I really hope someone can help me.
Thanks!
Hi ! Do you can resolve your problem ?
I'm not expert but I think reboot to Twrp and format your data . Advanced format data yes and flash your Rom. But I don't no if you do to flash the DM Verity Encryption remover before flash your Rom ?
Stay for expert help you..

I faced similar issue when flashing custom rom.
I did some research and found out that, I have to wipe data first, reboot to fastboot (in TWRP). Boot into TWRP again using DOS shell prompt.
In this way, your phone will not be encrypted, allowing file transfer and flash from TWRP.
Hope it helps.
Hi, I managed to fix it by flashing the latest miui fastboot ROM again using mi flash tool, and then restoring a backup of my system from Google drive and miui when setting up the phone. I think I will try to flash a ROM again at some point. What do you mean by DOS shell prompt? Thanks
You need flash Forced Encryption Disabler to remove encryption of the folders. In TWRP, flash zip and reboot to recovery.

im facing the same problem now. the files are all jumbled up letters, do i need to format the device before using mi flash tool?
Hello,
As stated in the titled I have tried to root my OP 3T and it horribly wrong. First I got the error message telling me it couldn't mount my /system partition. I googled how to fix it and discovered that I had to wipe the partition as it might be corrupt. Just to be sure that it was indeed corrupt. The size was stated as 2913MB but the used space was stated as 1728265MB. I therefor wiped it and tried to boot. Now I couldn't boot into Oxygen OS...The only thing i can boot into was fastboot and recovery. I then tried to install the LineageOS and it worked. I can finally boot to a OS. However when going in the recovery again and wiping the cache I get a slew of errors. Almost all of them are "Error opening: '/data/local/nhsystem/kali-armhf/dev/xxxx' (Not a directory)". There is also one other error: "Unable to mount storage"
How do I fix this?

System partition is the OS. So from that fact, it should now be obvious that wiping system (and therefore wiping the OS) will result in not being able to boot to OS.
Not being able to mount system is a little odd. What version TWRP? Current version is typically recommended (currently 3.2.3-1).
You can try in TWRP Wipe section, the "Format data" button. This will often fix corruption issues with data partition (format is not the same as wipe), although I'm not sure how the system partition was affected.

Formatting with 3.2.3-1 will remove the encryption footer. It's basically the only build of TWRP you DO NOT want to use! 3.2.3-10 is the latest but that won't reinstate your encryption footer. My advice is this. Flash TWRP 3.2.3-0, format at least /system, /data and /cache from the Wipe/Advanced screen and then Wipe everything for good measure.
Make sure you are in front of your PC when you do this. Back up everything to PC first as formatting will delete everything from Internal Storage. Make sure you have all your Install zips ready to go on your PC. Whn you're done formatting and wiping you can copy the install zips back to Internal Storage and flash OOS full Zip (or Custom ROM).

Remember to reboot Recovery once you have 3.2.3-0 installed so that your format operations are carried out with that version.

So I tried installing it with a OTG adapter and a USB inside TWRP and it worked. OOS is running and working! Thanks for the help
Now I'm just curios as to why I can't sideload...

A few possibilities:
1) OnePlus3TOxygen.zip of course isn't the name of the file as downloaded, so i assume you renamed it to something more sensible before trying to sideload? Do you have 'Hide Extensions of known filetypes' selected in Windows Explorer? Could it be that what you ended up with was 'OnePlus3TOxygen.zip.zip', which of course wouldn't work if you were trying to sideload 'OnePlus3TOxygen.zip'?
2) You didn't move your download to your platform-tools folder in adb?
3) You didn't open a CMD window in your platform-tools folder?
Anyway, good that you're back on your feet.

Here's what I did:
Moved the zip file to the platform-tools folder.
Kept the stock name of the zip file.
opened CMD window in platform-tools folder.
I still get the error.

You wouldn't be the first. It's a common issue. You know you can just move the zip to Internal Storage and flash it with TWRP? The Recovery is MTP enabled. Useful to know for future reference. :good:
