If you're rooted, get Autorec from the G2 Development section, google will turn up the link.

I don't know there, did you use Autorec specific to the VS980? Sounds like your internal storage is hosed up on your phone, can you access it via a rom when it's booted? How did you update your bootstack to 24A also?
There is a file on my xt1068 with path /data/data/com.google.chrome/app_webview/Cache/8f7f69bc88662934_0 .I am unable to delete this file through any method.It is not visible in es file explorer or any other file manager,i have tried deleting the folder but it fails even after providing root permissions.I have tried deleting it by wiping data partition via TWRP and CWM but both failed.I also tried deleting it using aroma file manager and TWRP's flile manager but no luck.Due to this file i can't create or restore nandroid backup.While installing any new ROM i need to go to the TWRP's file manager and i manually delete all the folder's except the one i mentioned above,to perform a clean install.I have also tried restoring to stock firmaware using fastboot but after installation of rom the file still remains there.
My TWRP always shows this message:"E:Unable to stat '/data/data/com.google.chrome/app_webview/Cache/8f7f69bc88662934_0'
Please help me with this.
I would also be interested in a solution as I have a similar / same problem.
If I try and delete it via an adb shell I get : "rm failed for org.mozilla.firefox.old, I/O error"
Some threads have said the problem might be solvable by repairing the partition using tools like fsck.
I've unmounted the /data partition and tried to use fsck.f2fs from the recovery (TWRP) but get this error:
Assertion failed!
[fsck_chk_node_blk: 187] ni.blk_addr >= SM_I(sbi)->main_blkaddr
I'd like to solve this problem so i can again make nandroid backups and play around with my phone.
Thanks for the help

I have the same problem but I think I have all the emmc memory as Read-Only, because I can't change the Recovery (vía fastboot) or flash another ROM or restore a Backup or even format anything.
I can enter to TWRP and Fastboot mode but any change I made is saved..

corrupted emmc memory -- this could be because a set to read only.... or true failure - no cures (yet) for this and tbh the rumoured way is by linux commands to set permissions again and no one seems to have progressed or got results in last 9 months or so.
It magically got solved after flashing radium redefined ROM.
Hi all,
I used the SRK Tool recently to TWRP and Root.
All was going well until I used hisuite to restore my phone.
It failed in restoring one app and it created a cache file in data/data, tried deleting the file in ES File Explorer, SD Maid to no avail.
So I went to format the partitions in TWRP.
The phone won't start (im guessing there is no OS so I am looking for the stock rom as the hisuite recovery doesnt work as well.)
TRWP Factory Reset is still showing the same following error
Updating partition details...
Error opening: '/data/data/renamedeleteapp/app_xwalkcore/Default/Cache/5de9a45e57c756c2_0' (No such file or directory)
...done

Anyone able to shed some light on how I can fix this corrupted partition and reload an OS so my phone works again?
Thanks!!!
the huawei erecovery system doesnt seem to be working either.
Nor does the hisuite recovery. Asking me to bring it to the service center
Managed to flash the new world ROM but the partition error still persisting. Anyone?
I would say probably your best bet is to use the stock rom here ... http://forum.xda-developers.com/p9/development/stock-rom-dload-file-p9-eva-l09-b136-t3382818 to restore completely to stock and then start again from scratch
After unlocking the bootloader, installing TWRP recovery and rooting my phone with SuperSU (v2.82), I was preparing to install a custom ROM (more specifically the Resurrection Remix 7.1.2.) all in all, things ended up going out of hand and I accidentally deleted my internal storage, losing every single bit of my existing ROM, not to mention the RR ROM file as well. Now when I try to wipe, I can't, it usually says "Failed to mount '/data' (Device or resource busy) and "Unable to mount storage".
I tried using ADB sideload but to no success, only the same message. What I can understand is that the previous data is gone, I tried changing the format of data, system and cache to FAT & exFAT but it still did not resolve my issue.
I'm out of options here, I don't want to have to give up this phone because of my stupidity.
I also tried flashing the LineageOS 14.1 ROM to see if anything was different, here is what it said:
Installing zip file '/sideload.package.zip'
Target: HUAWEI/EVA-L09/HWEVA:7.0/HUAWEIEVA-L09/C432B361:user/release-keys
detected filesystem ext4 for /dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/system
detected filesystem exfat for /dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/userdata
mount: failed to mount /dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/userdata at /data: Device or resource busy
unmount of /data failed; no such volume
Patching system image unconditionally...
detected filesystem ext4 for /dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/system
Script succeeded: result was [1.000000]
Although it said succeeded it clearly did not work and I am sitting without a ROM. I'm not smart when it comes to these things please help a guy out.
(Is there a way to going back to completely stock EMUI 5.0?)
Cheers.
EMUI 5.01 requires encryption, which you obviously removed.
Search for DC Unlocker, it can probably fix it for 25 Euros

I know this is awkward to ask and all, but how exactly do I go about this, I'm pretty lost and I have minimal experience with this stuff..
I never had to use it but here is their portal (with download info, prices, instructions, etc)
https://www.dc-unlocker.com/DC-Phoenix-flash-repair-tutorial
If you search on XDA or search on Google for eg XDA Huawei DC Unlocker you will find threads with first hands experience (I've seen them several tines but didn't save to Favorites)

I'm terribly sorry for being THIS stupid. As I'm looking into this even more, I'm conflicted about the credit amount I need, been scrolling through the list and I can't really find my problem involving firmware I suppose.
People usually buy for 15 Euros. It may help you, Chrome will automatically translate from German

I'm not educated about DC Unlocker but that is NOT neccesary here. You can easily repair the /data partition by flashing the stock recovery via fastboot, formatting data with that stock recovery and then flashing TWRP again. After that TWRP should be able to read the data partition again.
You can easily go back to stock completely and even restore your bootloader by doing a "rollback" to Android 6. (dload method). After that you can normally upgrade from there though EMUI to the latest version of stock.

I've tried using eRecovery to format the data but to no success, I can't even use the touch screen for some reason, (I know about the volume keys, but when it comes to selecting the Wi-Fi, there is no success whatsoever). If you do know a fix for this, could you possibly walk me through this?

UPDATE: I flashed the stock recovery image and it showed me the wipe cache partition and factory data and system reset, I tried both, only the cache one succeeded, the other one failed. I saw a post that directed you to flash boot.img, recovery.img, recovery2.img and then system.img, I did that, but I couldn't boot into my phone - the good thing is however! That I can use my touchscreen in the recovery now.
Obviously the second time booting into EMUI recovery it prompts me to 'Download latest version and recovery', I try to connect to my Wi-Fi, seems okay but then it suddenly fails. More specifically it says 'Getting package info failed'. Save me please :crying:
So this "erecovery" never worked in any way for me (the one which offers you to download the latest version).
Instead you need the normal recovery you already used. Formatting failed for me the first time too, try it again and then it will try to format "low-level" which worked for me.
Go directly into fastboot from that, flash TWRP and go directly into TWRP.
After that should be able to use /data in TWRP. As soon as you are able to start TWRP without any error messages (like "Device busy" or something) go to Wipe and then format data.
Important: check which partition type you have! For EMUI you need "f2fs" and for lineage you need "ext4". You can see and change that in TWRP under Wipe -> "change or repair filesystem".
If you have any more questions, just ask.

So what you're saying is, as soon as I get my data sorted and my partition set to the right one I should be able to install the custom ROM. I could use data and even formatted it, tried installing Lineage but I must've had the storage on the wrong type, now I'm back with the same issue, I'll try to fix it and post my results here. Thank you!

Update: It did NOT work, tried flashing LineageOS through ADB sideload, it was going fine before the bar completely filled up around 50% of the way done, it said 'detected filesystem ext4 for /dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/system' and in the next line it said 'script succeeded: result was [1.000000]'
Help me, I'm begging you, at the moment I don't have an access to a microSD that has the capacity to hold the stock files to do the dload method, therefore this is my only hope.

That's what I'm trying to figure out, when I try to boot in it's just stuck on a boot loop. Unfortunate..
Remember that you have to what *a while* for the first boot. Only if you see no change after 5-8 minutes or so something is definitely wrong.
Have you checked in TWRP if your /data partition is ext4?

That just said that /system partition is ext4. That is default even for stock I believe. You need to check for /data.

Can you check in TWRP if it actually says /data is ext4?
Which lineage are you trying to install? Don't you need a vendor.zip for some of them?
/data is indeed on EXT4, and I was installing the one that was on the room section.

You have to format data using the type "yes" to continue method. Then use twrp's menus to reboot back into recovery. Mount /system and /vendor in twrp then flash it. If you still have a problem, then try the 5/21/19 release of the disabler.
@Spaceminer No, that's nonsense! Data is mounted correctly and is fully unencrypted. See screenshot where you can read "Updating partition details... done" There's NO error message.
That's the first thing...
Second, there's no need to mount sth manually, the script itself will do this if necessary!

It doesn't show data as mounted. It shows the external sdcard as being mounted. And there is an error, twrp is giving error 1, and the disabler is also showing an error saying it can't find the boot block location. This means twrp isn't able to modify block devices or mount them properly. What I told him to do will fix the problem. The script doesn't mount anything correctly if twrp is not able to run the script... I know what I'm talking about. I wouldn't steer the guy wrong.
Edit: I'm definitely correct. What I said is actually mentioned in the official twrp thread for this device. It says; "If you format data (Not just factory reset) after decrypting you must reboot into recovery and format again." - direct quote from the instructions, under notes.
I flashed the same .zip with /data, /system and /vendor mounted properly and ran into the same error... (see screenshot)
To mount a device block it's not neccessary to have /data mounted.
The .zip is incompatible with Moto g6 - that's all!

Thanks it worked fine. But for some reason the mobile was struck in boot loop(just warning message on screen saying, you have unlocked bootloader for couple of seconds and then same thing appears again), any idea how to fix it ?

Yes, do it manually. The disabler.zip does two things on your device.
1.) remove dm-verity
2.) disable forceencryption of /data
The magisk.zip also removes dm-verity within the installation process. So you don't need the disabler.zip for this.
To remove forceencryption you have to follow a few simple steps which are given in my instruction below:
preparation:
You have to be on the latest stock firmware with TWRP installed and nothing else.
Boot into TWRP and format /data (do not wipe it! you must use format). Then reboot directly into TWRP!!
Now let's start to remove forceencryption.
1.) place the attached .tar.gz file in your internal storage (/sdcard)
2.) mount /vendor in the options menu and open TWRP's terminal command under advanced settings
3.) type in (or copy it from here)
Code:
tar -xvzf /sdcard/fstab.tar.gz
4.) at next boot your device will be unencrypted
Now don't reboot your device and stay in TWRP to install the magisk.zip v19.3!! That's important to flash v19.3 instead of the latest v20.3 otherwise it causes a bootloop!! I don't know why it does but you can later update Magisk without any problems through the Magisk Manager.
Magisk will now remove the dm-verity during the installation process. That's a part of the installation script of Magisk.
When the installation of Magisk has finished you can boot your device into system. Maybe it reboots one time but don't care. Also the bootanimation will take some time due to unencryption of /data. That's quite normal.

I appreciate your patience, WoKoschekk. I for one appreciate the guide and insight into the reason root must be achieved this way. I was using 20.3 and 18 the whole time. I was successful with your instructions the first time. It became stuck on boot after the initia reboot, so I pushed fstab and magisk again and it was fine. I remember that on one phone, encryption wasn't a problem if you had your pin or password. Could it be the same here provided there was no fingerprint assigned (might be the original pixel)? I'm guessing this TWRP can't decrypt? Just curious, because N/A balogna.
I'm glad to hear that!
TWRP for Moto g6 can't decrypt your data. That's the reason why you must disable forceencryption to use TWRP.

I don't have a SD card, so I put the file into the TWRP folder. I then used,

Was that the right location?
