TWRP - unable to mount /system after restore TWRP backup - Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers

Hi every1
Like in title - I have TWRP 3.3.1.0. Flashed Revenge OS, installed & setuped everything what I need. Done the TWRP backup. Tried other ROMs but want to go back to Revenge. When I try to restore that backup in the end of a process TWRP informs me that "Failed to mount '/system/ (invalid argument)" and ofcoz phone didn't boot. Tried to go back to TWRP 3.2.3.0, change the system partition to ext2 and back to ext4 - no luck. Any suggestions?

Clockwork Recovery Backup Not Working

I had to restore to 1.0.1 from the new 1.1 ROM due to various issues along with a botched nandroid restore. Now I can't run a nandroid in CWM. It starts fine and then I get the following message:
E:failed to mount /recovery (Block device required)
Can't mount /recovery!
Does anyone know how I can fix this? I'd like to have a fresh backup in case I botch things up again.

[Q] Can't mount /data!

When I backup or restore by CWM, I can backup system but data it said "Can't mount /data!"
I'm using cm-9-20120610-NIGHTLY-galaxysmtd
Try to flash many rom but didn't work T_T
Sounds like you could do with installing a stock ROM with.pit as well, hopefully that will sort your partitions out
If you're restoring and get the can't mount /data! message, do the restore again. It usually happens for me especially if I'm restoring to a rom with a different kernel that uses a different cwm recovery

The reason you are getting those errors is that stock recovery cannot handle ext4, that's normal.
Probably the simplest thing to do would be to follow the unbrick tutorial:

thanks for specifying the Ext4 problem...
can i get back to Ext3 by flashing any zip through cmw recovery?
Well rfs is the default file system format, not ext3. If you use this version of CWM then you can go to mounts and storage > format /cache, /system and /data back to rfs. However you will obviously now have no ROM on your phone so will still need to either restore a backup or flash a zip of a ROM that includes the entire /system folder, which is most, if not all. I've never tried this technique by the way, so no guarantees here.
Also try to restore only Nandroid backups made with the same version of CWM that you are using to avoid problems.

Unable to Mount /data Huawei P9 L19c636

After installing twrp i tried flashing liuneage os but somehow messed up. Now i am getting the error Unable to Mount /data. I tried changing file format, repair with no luck. Thanks.
The data partition of the stock rom is different and not usable with lineage (I think because of encryption). You have to reformat it at first.
If TWRP can't mount the data partition, you need to flash the stock recovery, format data from there and then TWRP should be able to mount it again. The stock recovery image is somewhere in this forum.

twrp cannot access/read data partition because it's encrypted. while in TWRP, you have to format the data partition to remove encryption and then you be able to access data. be sure to backup your data/internal storage before formatting, otherwise you'll lose what's stored there it's mentioned in most (if not all) TWRP threads related to Samsung devices.
thanks for the info I actually googled and found the answer however ,I do have another question the no-verity-opt-encrypt-5.1.zip is just for whatever rom you have installed to remove the encryption ?In otherwords if i just want to do a clean install from TWRP and install a custom rom I dont need no-verity-opt-encrypt-5.1.zip ?
