Hello,
I recently was forced to due an AE swap of my device due to the mic failing on the hardware side. As I was going through the process of unlocking and rooting the new device the recovery flash seemed to error out and not work. After a couple flashes it finally stuck and everything eventually appears to be working after many headaches, however CWM is still acting up. Every time I am in recovery it says.
E: cant mount /cache/recovery/command
E: cant mount /cache/recovery/log
E: cant mount /cache/recovery/last_log
etc...
I have tried everything even to RUU back to full stock and re-do the process but I still have the error. Also when I go to install from SD Card it only sees some random folders that are actually on my internal storage. So even though I placed the SuperSU zip on my SD with my computer I cannot flash it as the recovery doesnt see it. Does anyone have any insight?
Have you tried fastboot erase cache (while in fastboot)
Just throwing it out there not sure if it will do any good.

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.

i tried what you said but i still get this problem:
Code:
E; Unable to mount '/data'
E: unable to mount internal storage.
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?

Hey there!
I got my tablet messed up so I was trying to "un-brick" it using the factory images and the temp recovery. All good, until I try to flash a zip. These errors won't go away:
E: unable to mount /factory
E: unable to mount /cache
This prevents me from doing basically anything. I cannot flash any firmware because of these. Of course, the repair partition fails also...
Any ideas?
I managed to format the /factory and /cache partitions so now I got rid of that error. Still, trying to flash a firmware on it and failing miserably from unknown reasons... Isn't there a firmware flash tool available for this device to write the firmware directly into the nand?
Later Edit: Nope, /factory still not mounting...
Even Later Edit: Still no mounting, I managed to dig deeper in the error and it seems that the main message is "can't format unknown volume /emmc". What shocked me is that after unplugging the tablet from PC (using the tethered recovery trying to fix the stuff), I booted in recovery (volume up and power), and to my surprise, I was met by the ol' American Megatrends UEFI - check the attachment... I guess I messed up the bootloader so bad that the Intel chipset took over?
So it seems that the tablet won't boot up in any way. Every boot procedure (power button, power + vol up, power + vol down) will start the UEFI. Go guys!

Hi, so i was trying to install:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/p9/development/rom-ncs-rom-v1-1-08-16-2016-t3440269
I have unlocked bootloader and i have latest TWRP, i have no idea what went wrong but everytime i try to boot now it says encryption was interrupted and can't continue, and everytime i try to flash image or wipe everything it keeps saying unable to mount /data and /storage. I really have no idea what to do, any help would be appreciated, please.
Did you try to go in the recovery and mount the system from there? Or just format the phone and install the rom through sd card
well i tried flash again the ROM and it worked now, but i had to install TWRP revision 3 guess it fixes some encryption stuff?
I haven't formatted my phone in a while, so rather than delete files while my phone was working. I booted into recovery and selected the format data option in TWRP. Now I am getting all kinds of errors in TWRP. I was on a custom rom when I did all of this and somehow I screwed up. I can't even get a zip on my phone as my phone is only recognized as charging and not a storage device under these circumstances. I have tried adb sideloading a rom, but that is to no avail. I am thinking about flash a stock recovery in hopes that I'll be able to flash a stock rom and fix my phone.
this is what it says when trying to wipe anything:
could not mount /data and unable to find crypto footer.
failed to mount '/data (invalid argument)
without typing out everything the rest of it says failed to mount '/data' (invalid argument)
Boot the phone into fastboot, type fastboot format userdata
fastboot format cache
then fastboot flash recovery <name of twrp recovery>.img (don't put < >)
boot into recovery and go to advanced wipe and wipe everything except internal
everything will be fine now
you can flash any rom now.
If it worked, hit the thanks button
Try unbrick tutorial from XDA to back to new alike!
This is the best option
Well actually I took a different route altogether. I don't know why I didn't think about it initially. You would think after almost 10 years of dealing with custom ROMs and recoveries that I would of been a lot quicker in finding a solution, so I googled it. Came to the conclusion that I needed a stock OP3T recovery, so I downloaded it and fastboot flashed the stock recovery. From recovery I was able to wipe data, cache, dalvik-cache. All was good after that. Now I'm running coltOS.

Glad you fixed it. If you face a similar issue in the future you can download MSMTool for the OnePlus 3T which will restore stock OOS through fastboot
