Thanks for the reply, but i fixed it, I just formatted the data again, then copied cm12 onto the phone, flashed it, then it booted up!
unable to mount system after deleting os accidentally
pliz help
Even I am having the same problem. When I flash it says " E unable to mount "/system" I gather from googling that it is malformed partition issue. But I am not able to find fixes for it. Please help
I think the problem was with the Cm 12.1 zip. I installed another rom.zip file (Blisspop rom) and it is working fine now.
iam currently using lenovo a7000 turbo on marshmallow and midway on rooting process as i installed twrp2.8.7 through fastboot....but i cannot use usb otg to make backup. so i want to update twrp to 3.0.2 . how can i update twrp .plz help .iam a beginner and i fear bricking my phone..plz help:crying::crying::crying:

When I put TWRP.img on my sdcard and boot into TWRP. it doesn't show up in TWRP.
Good evening from Spain.
I tried to flash Magisk onto my SM-J530F (Samsung Galaxy J5 2017) but not successfully.
Here's the log:

Consider that I did the following:
- Flashed stock rom (J530FXXU2ARB3_J530FPHE2ARB3_PHE.zip content)
- Flashed "CF-Auto-Root-j5y17lte-j5y17ltexx-smj530f.tar" in Download mode via Odin, to root and install SuperSU, since it's needed
for flashing TWRP to avoid any bootloop.
- Flashed TWRP.
- Since I already have TWRP, I tried to uninstall SuperSU from the very app, in Options > Full unroot but gave "Uninstallation error", so then I tried to uninstall SuperSU by flashing "UPDATE-unSU.zip" on TWRP.
- Once that is done, I tried to flash "Magisk-v16.0.zip" and it throwed the log I've above mentioned.
- Since it says: "! Boot image patched by other programs.
! Please restore stock boot image", I rebooted it onto Download Mode, and flashed ONLY the BL (bootloader/boot) slot. Came back to TWRP, I flashed again "Magisk-v16.0.zip" but still have the same problem.
Hope there's any solution to install Magisk onto my SM-J530F. Thank you.
Your issue is that the boot image still is patched by SuperSU. Until you restore the stock boot image you won't be able to install Magisk.

Edit: I don't do Samsung, but from what I remember, you might need to flash AP (or something like that).

Thank you very much.
EDIT: Despite this problem: "Failed to mount '/system' (Device or resource busy)", your solution was correct! Now I have Magisk correctly installed.
Thank you
Nice to hear it worked. Just for the record, the "Failed to mount /system" message is a TWRP thingy. The Magisk installation is done at the "-Done" line.
Hi, I have the same problem of error 1 while trying to install Magisk from TWRP.
I looked everywere and they say that it is related to a boot image that have to be reinstalled. I did that and no luck, I tryed with boot.img, no working, I even restored ALL the ROM Stock from Samsung ( AP, BL, CP and CSC) and it is not working. I dont know what to do anyware...
Regeet the time was easy to root Samsung with CF autoRoot,
I tried that and ask me to restore all thephone, so still no root??
Some can help please??
Thx

The log is just a text file. Did you check the link I posted? In TWRP: Advanced - Copy log, and then post the resulting file.

I got a file "recovery.log" thats why I can not open it, maybe change the extention to "txt" ???

That would work, but you should be able to open it directly with pretty much any text editor as well. If you're going to post the log text directly, please at least use HIDE tags...
So here what I just did:
I wanted to do a last try to get that error 1 msg and get the repport directly to publicate it here...
So I decide to go to a clean basis. So,
1- Install all the stock ROM with odin. I choose the Home_CSC
Was another just CSC without Home, dont know exactly which one I had to choose, I choose Home_CSC.
2- Turn the fone off
3- Turn it back to download mode
4- Install the TWRP recovery, and I did not reboot.
5- Turn off the fone.
6- Turn on to recovery mode.
7- Format the data (yes)
8- Reboot to Recovery mode.
9- Install Magisk!
AT MY BIG SURPRISE I DID NOT GET ANY ERROR MSG!!! The installation finished without error!
So I continued...
10- install No verity
11- install SuperUS 2.82
13- Reboot the phone.
I was thinking that the root was ok, now I have a new pb. When I tryed to verify with Root Checker, it says no root. When I entered the app, it said BINARY OCCUPIED.
So any suggestion?

Say what...? You've misunderstood something, somewhere. Use Magisk OR SuperSU. Magisk is it's own root solution...
Are you by any chance using some old and outdates guides? Previously you could use SuperSU with Magisk, but that has not been the case since v13.0, well over a year ago, and MagiskSU has been around since v11.0, introduced a year and a half ago.

The root management app for Magisk/MagiskSU is the Magisk Manager. SuperSU and it's accompanying app is a whole different root solution (that has been sold by @Chainfire and seemingly abandoned by it's new owners).
Magisk usually takes care of dm-verity itself, so there shouldn't be any need for an extra no-verity zip. Sometimes it is needed, but I would skip it until you've tried using Magisk only. If you don't know, dm-verity is used by Android to determine if your device has been tampered with. If you wan't to root your device (tampering), you usually have to disable dm-verity or the device won't boot at all.
If you want root with Magisk, do your list again, but skip step 10 and 11. If it doesn't boot after that, go back to TWRP and flash the no-verity zip.

I just repeated all the procedure, this time just with Magisk, like you said. its installation finished without any error.
I just tryed ROOT Checker, any I finally have the root on my fone!! Thanx you very much for the support, and the explanation.
Can I use Backup/Restoration with TWRP knowing that I rooted with Magisk??

Great to hear! :good:
You can use TWRP without any issues. Magisk has no impact on it and TWRP has it's own su.

Thx you one more time. Going to install some of my app and configure my new fone then do a backup, for a clean restoration in some months...
I have a problem for the Backup with TWRP. When I want to do a Backup, I get this msg:
failed to mount /data (Invalid argument)
I ve looked on google to fix it, the solution I found is to change data to ext2, then back to ext4.
The pb is that it is removing everything from my phone?
Anyone is having the same issue??

Hi, i am rooting samsung a5 a520w. I am following the steps in the instructions (https://forum.xda-developers.com/sa...w-to/guide-root-install-twrp-samsung-t3747535).
Now I met a problem like this:
! Boot image patched by other programs!
! Please restore stock boot image
Updater process ended with ERROR:1
Error installing zip file '/sdcard/MagiskManager/Magisk-v17.1.zip'
I have no idea where is the boot.img located. All documents in the external card is:

Magisk_17.1
