[HELP] T813 'Failed To Mount' error in TWRP - Galaxy Tab S2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Having some trouble figuring out what's happening here.
I've flashed a MM ROM (SM-T813_1_20161017102153_3nenlutzdf) but when I go to TWRP, I'm getting multiple 'Failed To Mount' errors on all the partitions, and a 0 size on Internal Storage. I've done a 'Format Data' and that shows the internal storage size, but it does not survive a reboot.
I'm sure it's something easy - just can't seem to figure it. Thanks in advance for your help!

TWRP error "E:Unable to mount '/data'"

I have a new LG Optimus L90 (D415) with stock 4.4 ROM, and TWRP 2.8.0.0 (and previously, Philz 6.58.7) for recovery. Obviously, the phone is rooted and now has an unlocked bootloader....
My problem is that neither recovery will back up (or even mount) "/data". Note that I put that in quotes because, without having "/storage/sdcard" or something in front of it, I presume that it's an internal folder and not something to do with the external SDcard.
My first guess would be a problem with encryption, because both the phone and the external SD are using it -- and I never get asked for the password. Either way, the actual error in TWRP says "E: Unable to mount 'data'", while Philz says it can't access /data/philz-touch for the .ini file.
I've made several Google expeditions to find the answer, and have come up empty-handed with all of them. I've seen all kinds of fixes, from claims that I have to run chkdsk against the SDcard, to backing up the entire /data partition with a tar file and reformatting it with command line nightmares.
I'll do what I have to in order to fix this, but I'd rather not embark on an experimental goose chase. Any ideas?
I have this same problem. But only for wiping and flashing.
I have no idea for fix if backup also not working !! (Noob)
1.TWRP click backup. Select all except SDcard.
Finish backup.
2.go to Wipe menu.>advanced wipe>select all except System and Sdcard.
Wipe.
(It will skip the error files)
3.Install menu. Select ROM to flash.
Was what I did.

I'm not flashing anything, yet. First I need to make a backup of the entire phone (not including the SDcard). That way, if something goes wrong, I can just restore my old, working configuration -- all at once -- and start over.
I can back up and restore apps individually, using Titanium Backup. But what I need here is a Nandroid-type backup... and that generally has to be done from the recovery partition. There is one other way to backup everything, using a laptop/PC and ADB. But I've never tried it, and it wouldn't protect against a ROM meltdown.
Solved, somewhat...
So I did some further experimentation concerning this error. I did a test run to install CyanogenMod, and I found that I couldn't even factory reset certain partitions because of these "Unable to mount /data/" type errors.
What was ultimately the problem? The encryption. Once I decrypted everything, TWRP was able to see, mount, and backup, those partitions.
But I was under the impression that TWRP handles encryption, e.g. asking for the password, or some such. I mean, how can you do a Nandroid-type backup on a phone, if no recovery can mount those kinds of partitions?
So, for the record: "E:Unable to mount" was definitely due to the encryption being turned on for my internal storage. Thus the solution (so far) is to decrypt storage. A wretched solution, but at least it works for the time being.
BTW, In furtherance of this research, I formatted my internal SDcard to NTFS, just to make sure it wasn't misaligned or whatever when it was just FAT32. And I discovered that NTFS takes forever to format (32GB on the order of a couple hours)., FWIW.
The plot thickens. It may not be sufficient just to undo encryption, there may be something wrong with the way that partition was created, or otherwise is constructed.
Even though I now am able to mount /data, I'm not able to format it.... in TWRP it says something like "unknown filesystem 'auto'".
But there is a thread here that describes using Philz recovery to unmount and then format this mess, and I'm about to try it, I just have to flash Philz in place of TWRP. Now let's hope this version works without issues, because I'd have little recourse if things go bad there.

Nook hd plus, Cm 10.2 stopped working. It keeps crashing and restarting.

I got nook hd+ and used cm version 10.2 something for a while.
The device keeps crashing and restarting like crazy.
1 out of 10 times, it launches, but before I do anything, it crashes. Hell.
It has been crashing and restarting quite often these days, but since last night, all it does is crashing and restarting.
To make matters worse, I tried to format the device and install cm again. It did not work.
I made booting SD card and chose 'wipe data/ factory reset'. And nook said it wiped /data /cache data wipe complete etc. However, files were still there in internal storage.
On top of that, I had to try 4 times to install newest cm-11. It aborted.
Next, I tried to installnookjdplus factory2.2.0 . It had error. (status 6) to ne specific.
So, I tried newest cwm recovery. It installed, but nook still crashed.
I persevered and tried to install cm 11. It installed, but still crash and restart.
Hell. I literally spent whole day doing this. I am confused and frustrated and angry and experiencing a few other negative emotions English language dows not have in words.
Please, some advice.

CM10.x, CM11, and stock ROM need different versions of CWM recovery.
See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2679899 for info/pointers on flashing CM11.
To go back to stock ROM, see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2062613(item #6).
When switching between CM10, CM11, and stock ROM, you need to do "wipe /data & factory reset".
If none of the above helps the your problem might be due to an unruly app or hardware related.

Ok. At least I got my biggest problem now.
I think my roblem is wipe data/factory reset does not do job it is supposed to do.
I still see folders and files in internal memory after factory reset. I think that is why install aborts and crashes even after successful install.
I think my problem is that wipe data/factory reset does not do its job
It gives me message it is formatting data cache and stuff. And last day they gave me data wipe complete. But the problem is, in internal memory, I can still see old folders and old files.
I think he should be gone if it is formatted. Where do I get the meaning of factory reset wrong?
Its not what is wrong with me. And how can I make factory reset work
And second question is that I tried to install B&N original operating system from cwm-based recovery. I tried a few different versions of
nookHDplus-factory-2.1.1-plain-stock.zip
However it always fail to install. Install aborted for some reason.
Thanks. It seem helpful.

Going back to stock Rom 6 explains error message and aborting of install.
However the problem is where do I get CWM V 60036 or eariler?
Googling does not work.9

You can get v6036 on that same thread digimax referenced above (my CWM thread linked in my signature). And a data wipe does not wipe your media files. To do that, go to mounts and storage and select wipe "data and datamedia".

trying it. hope it works.
did not work
for about deleting internal data, I went to 'mounts and storage'. used 'format /sdcard' and 'format/ data and/ data/media (/sdcard), but still has stuff in internal memory.
and to my surprise , I have been using CWM-6028. so far. I thought its name was 'NookHDplus-bootable'.
hell. stupid me.
Anyhow, CWM-6028 has been giving me troule
so, I would try other versions.
So far, I have done
1. made boot sd by burning image.
2. copy 'NookHDplus-factory-2.1.0-plain-stock' files and other versions.
3. Insert SD in device and boot CWM.
4. choose zip from sdcard.
5. install factory plain stock.
then I get message 'Failed to retouch 'system/lib/libemoji.so' (WTF is libemoji? and it is always this same file.)
E: error in sdard/nookHDplus-factort-2.2.1-plain-stock.zip(status7)
Installation aborted.
hell. And I tried every factory zip.
Am I doing something wrong?
Failed tp retouch '/system/lib/libemoji' is error message I get
Everytime I tried to install factory stock.
I tried every version of stock files. And I tried all CWM. And even tried TWRP, but it is always the same message what the hell is that emoji?
And what can I do with it?
What frustrates me the most is the fact that it installed 99% in a minute without trouble and stays there 410 minutes until it fails to install. It's driving me crazy
Does CM makes Factory reset by power button and home button does not work either.
Because I am getting message factory reset failed.
If CM is not the reason for it, well, something is wrong. Very wrong.
I am suspecting Internal memory corrupted lr something.
I should seriously consider throwing it away now.

It is possible you have a bricked emmc. When bricked it looks like it is writing but is really read only and nothing takes. If you still have media files after a successful format data and datamedia then it is bricked. Probably best to get rid of it. You can buy a refurbished unit very cheaply these days.

Assuming that your EMMC is shot, you can try running off SD card this no-emmc version of CM11 ROM: https://iamafanof.wordpress.com/201...-4-4-4-for-bricked-no-emmc-nook-hd-04nov2014/. It's best to use a card with fast randomized block read/write (which is what Class 4 cards are typically best at).
Thanks guys. By the way, what is emmc?
Is it part of CM software?
Does not sounds like hardware.
If I had factory resetted a day earlier, I would not have had problems.
Well. That is the way it is.
I finally kind of got nook working. I am running it on SD card now.
I got to thank you guys for your good advices.
Problem is that this ecmm free booting shrinks storage space.
No matter what is size of SD card, Internal storage is 900mb and SD card got 100mb. (I mean virtual Internal storage the file made in SD card) Not enough space to hold a movie.
I am happier to have tab working, but also wish to use full space of my SD.
At least I wish I can have a few Gs of storage.

Right after burning the ROM image to SDcard, it should be possible to use a disk partitioning tool such as MiniTool Partition Wizard to examine the SDcard ROM image's partitions and resize the /data partition to fill up the un-allocated space.

See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=49007593&postcount=84 for some pointers on how to create a CM SD card with customized partition sizing for HD+. Although it was written for CM11, you should be able to adapt it for CM10.2 by using the appropriate ROM and GApps zip files corresponding to CM10.2.
Please confirm if my problem has any other solution
my NOOK HD+ I have CMW 10.2.1 with 6.0.4.6 recovery. Nook went to loop while booting. Now I can go to recovery and able to boot SD recovery CMW 6.0.2.8. But issue is:-
1. For any update even for Stock ROM it gives status 7 error.
2. With system recovery 6.0.4.6 when I try factory reset the TAB reboot same happen when i try to format DATA. While factory reset and DATA format happens with 6.0.2.8 position remains same.
3. When I try to make backup on internal storage both with 6.0.4.6 (TAB recovery) or 6.0.2.8 (From SD card) it makes boot,recovery and system image but give error as failed to backup /DATA.
4. I have done every thing right from various and latest ROM's ( error Status 7), Formatting boot,system but 6.0.4.6 on NOOK is intact and is in loop.
Please tell How I can over come this STATUS 7 error or DATA backup error.
thanks.

CWM v6.0.4.6 is not compatible with CM10.x, you need to flash back to the CWM version you previously used.

So i have installed TWRP on nexus 6, i tried installing CM 13 and a couple of other ROMs but i get stuck at 'encryption interrupted' error. i had stock marshmallow rom on it and it was encrypted before started doing all this. I followed the steps listed on a guide on XDA but ended up with this error, at least thats what i think.

What izwan15 is saying is that
GO TO RECOVERY (vol UP + HOME +POWER)
Select mount and storage option
See if sd card0(internal memory card) is mounted if you see it unmount , just click and mount it ,
reboot and see if it fixes the problem .
hope it helps

HI , well i would say that the partition table is screwed for some reason, because the internal storage partition has gone completely gone you are having this issue simple thing to solve this would be flashing stock which will ultimately repart the partitions and format the sdcard0. [Try to backup some important data first].
SOLVED. Give a medal to this man.:laugh: Thank you so much @DaksAnkit.
I installed the Stock Rom via custom recovery (found on another forum by a user called Gargaros) and subsequently by a temporary recovery reinstalled the Rom I wanted (in my case 5.1.1). Now everything works perfectly!:victory:

Many errors when wiping cache partition in TWRP

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.

I have now downgraded TWRP to version 3.2.3-0 and wiped everything. I didn't backup as I don't have anything on there because it's not my main device. After wiping I tried installing OOS again and this time I get the same "Error opening: '/data/local/nhsystem/kali-armhf/dev/xxxx' (Not a directory)" error and now it cant mount the /system partiton again

You're not just wiping, You're formatting. Select each of the partitions (Cache/Data/System) and format in each case. (I recommend EXT4 for Data)

Ok. I tried to format all the partitions with EXT4 and tried to install OOS again with a adb sideload. This didn't work and I got an error "adb sideload cannot read 'OnePlus3TOxygen.zip'". 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:
