PLEASE HELP ATT note 3 e:unable to mount system

Hi
I have ATT galaxy note 3 first time I installed a rom I did it over the stock rom slot, no biggie, to make a long story short last rom I had was alliance last version, didn’t work for me, so I decided to install (FireNoteDeodexV20XGrandFinale)
So I booted into Safestrap 3.75(TWRP v2.7.1.0) by simply restarting my device and got that recovery or continue buttons.
So I did a factory wipe but I also did an advance wipe and checked (system).
After that I went to install and selected the above ROM zip and installed it and after I hit continue at the safestrap screen where it also says disabled it always has. It stays blank.
So I booted up to SS again and now whenever I select factory wipe or system wipe or try to mount I get the same message E:Unable to mount ‘/system’ and E:Unable to mount ‘/systemorig’
And now im stuck with no phone and cant install any ROM
Theres a lot of threads about this but please oh please masters bare with me I just need step by step, what should I do and what files do I need to download.
Your help is highly appreciated.

If you have a computer. And a sdcard slot on it download and install a kitkat rom of your choice from the att note 3 rom section. Because you most likely are on the newest bootloader you can't flash jb roms. You have to stick to kitkat roms.

Didnt work tried and it failed.

You should look in the general section for att note 3 and find the Odin files for kitkat and Odin restore your phone. Then start over rooting and installing a custom rom. Probably your best bet.

[Q] Stuck in boot screen, even after wiping data and cache

hi, im using 4.4.4, my device is unlocked and rooted.
i was trying to enable the advanced options in Camera+ as mentioned here in the forum, changed the line on build.prop, rebooted the device, and it got stuck at the "bootloader unlocked" screen, not passing that anymore.
so, i got in to recovery > and wiped data and cache. the device rebooted itself and now is stuck again in "bootloader unlocked" screen.
now if i press power button to turn off it gives "2 vibrations", like its doing something (but is in this screen for past 5 minutes)
any help apreciated.

You need to reflash a firmware.. I would flash back to stock firmware and then go from there.

Plug into computer and use adb and/fastboot to flash the firmware. There might be a toolkit in the original moto x forum to help do this.

You could always mount the system partition with twrp and edit the build.prop to put it back to its original state. It is also possible you need to fix the permissions on the build.prop file.

i will look into twrp as i'm not familiar with it. i also thought about the file permissions may be the problem cause i did not edit the file, i modified on the PC and replaced the file on phone. maybe this was the cause? cause i installed a lot of apps and Xposed stuff before that reset, so im not sure if exactly that was the problem. but as i didn't know how to edit the permissions on the file with the phone in that situation, i didn't even consider possible to fix it.
but i flashed with the same ROM and the phone is now fully working (at least this i could do miself )
thanks dobbs3x and Steve-x for the help! :good::good:

how to flash a stock image?

I know that there are some threads over this topic, but there is nowhere a specific answer. I have currently Sokkoban's ROM, and I want to revert to the official build. Can someon provide me with the necessary files in order to flash a stock recovery? I found only this answer, but there are no available links for the files. I would appreciate if anyone could help me. I have ALE L21- dual european edition, running on custom rom based on C432B574.
Thanks in advance.
Edit: tried with the HuaweiUpdateExtractor with the UPDATE.APP file, and flashed the first 3 images (boot, recovery cust) but I get an error while trying to flash the system.img.

It got messy after installing the 4 images. I tried this post and got myself with B052 and emui 4.0. Later I tried our post MEGA-THREAD ALE-L21, ALE-L23, ALE-L02, Converting, Root, Unbrick, Updating, Xposed - chapter 4: Unbricking but nothing.

You are absolutely right. Although Sokkoban's ROM is really very good, you cannot go back to the official easily. Still din't try to flash another rom, like cm 11 and then go back to the official. If anyones does try it, he should let us know.

You need to flash the original recovery(which you already have). Then put dload folder in sdcard and upgrade manually. You might get BALONG bug (because this happened to me) so I recommend you to start from beginning( the very first firmware for your model/country). For me it was B120. It contained two dload folders one was the system and the other was vendor file. You need both files.

Tried everything. Even the files for converting into dual. The only thing I managed to get, was: Sokkoban's ROM, and after a factory reset, I got B052 with EMUI 4. Hopefully someone will find a way and create a guide.

If you are on B052 (official) and did not have balong bug then I think you can update to emui 4.0/Android 6.0 without any issues.

I used MEGA-THREAD ALE-L21, ALE-L23, ALE-L02, Converting, Root, Unbrick, Updating, Xposed - chapter 4: Unbricking but didn't work. Then I tried to revert to B052, but as I wrote before, I had Sokkoban's ROM and after a factory reset, I had B052 with emui 4.0 installed. If you know a working procedure to return to the official build, I suggest you write a guide.

By the way do you have nandroid backup of official rom? If yes restore it via twrp. This could save you a lot of time. The method I used isn't difficult but it takes time.
On sokoban's rom. Flash the original recovery (recommend that you extract it from the firmware you are going to flash).Use the oldest one (link given below) emui 3.1/Android 5.0 for dual sim
Now put dload file in sdcard/internal memory and upgrade the phone.
If you have balong bug put dload2(rename it to dload) folder in sdcard/ internal memory and upgrade.
Now later you may upgrade to Android 6.0/emui 4

No, I used TWRP backup.
When I tried to extract the images from an official ROM (I have done so many attempts that, I cannot remember which ROM I used), I was able to flash 3 out 4 files. The one I couldn't was the system. When I tried through classic (dload etc), It got stuck at 2% and would give me an error.
But that's all in the past. lol
At this moment, my phone is at the service center with no warranty cause my wifi adapter is not working. From what I've heard, such ptoblems, need mainboard replacement and I cannot afford it at this moment. So I am going to stuck with this phone till it's dead, and of course not going to install any ROM, just because I cannot update anything..... cheers!!!

Well tbh, you can simply convert the system.img using simg2img.exe and then make a flashable zip.
then you can install the system.img withing recovery

Stuck in recovery mode

Hey guys I just got an 84 MB update from T-MOBILE, but for some reason when my phone was updating there was an error, and my phone now only boots into recovery mode(the "No Command" screen). Does anyone know where I can find any of the update files so I could try to update through ADB? If not, then my only is to unlock the bootloader and install a Custom ROM, but I wanted to know if I could still use my mobile service (T-MOBILE) if after installing a Custom ROM? Any advice is appreciated!

What phone model?
If it's an L90, you should and you're still able to either download mode, you can flash stock kdz ROM, root, unload bootloader, flash custom recovery then any custom ROM you want.

just wipe all partitions and put a stock lollipop rom but a flashable zip file is needed and put it on a sd card and flash it and there you go you have a working phone in just a minutes

Help installing custom rom

Hey guys,
I am trying to intall a custom rom on my blu vivo xl. My worries are that i either soft-brick the phone or boot the new rom and having no signal due to no imei, or no 4G due to band change if it's even possible. I'll leave you with some reliable data:
-arch64 procesor
-5.1 stock android : BLU_V0030UU_V07_GENERIC 25-01-2016
- 3.10.65+ kernel
- Rooted with kingoroot
- Previously had xposed, but uninstalled due to random reboots.
I was looking to install aospextended rom:

Unfortunately most custom ROMs in this forum were based off Gionee so likely you will get no SIM. Use your stock ROM /etc/firmware folder to replace that in ROM.

Thank you for your response.
I've already got twrp installed for 5.1
So i should just install this MM based ROM i said on the post and replace /etc/firmware folder?
Or i need to install stock MM from ota first?
Thing is, i cant OTA update, it says that the system is corrupted, i even tried from twrp but no luck

I've seen that i need stock mm to be able to install most of the custom rom's in xda
Thing is i can't install any OTA update. Should i flash 5.1 stock rom on top of the modified one i'm running?
By modified i am talking about the root and xposed, which is the cause i cant OTA

Follow my steps exactly then you can do OTA to MM.
The key is to use the 8 files backup to restore stock 5.1, not the backup only includes 4 files.

In my case I have a fully working STOCK but ROOTED Marshmallow Blu Vivo XL with working IMEI, but as soon as I wipe and install say AEX rom, I lose both IMEI functions and also get the dreaded wifi NVRAM error (but working wifi).
I also restored the etc/firmware directory to AEX but it wont help regain IMEI functionality.
MTK Engineering mode does not work on AEX because it complains not being stock rom so it closes.
For the life of me, I can't make a connection to the PC through SP Flash Tool too.
Any pointers?
TIA!

Thanks for the reply Min1968!
Yes, I know how to recover IMEI on the stock ROM and I'm currently running stock MM rooted with working IMEI.
The problem I have is that I can't run custom ROMs even if I try the etc/firmware trick you mentioned.
What is the stock TWRP partition that has the modem and IMEI? Maybe if I flash it back through TWRP once I get AEX rom up and running?
Thanks!
