I am installing a new ROM (phiremod v6.3) and I am trying to format my SYSTEM and DATA under ClockworkMod . But I keep getting an error.
formating SYSTEM
E: format_volume: make_extf4fs failed on /dev/block/mmcblk1p2
ERROR formating SYSTEM
I am using 128mb_CM7_SD_clockwork-0.1-ext4.img
I am using a bootable ext4 sdcard with ClockworkMod Recovery 3.2.0.1 on it.
I can not mount or format /system or /data
Please help !!

Hi guys... i want to ask whether anyone know how to solve this error,....i was succeed to change file system of /system and /data from ext4 to f2fs but i've got this error message after i'm trying to change file system of /cache by using twrp v2.8.70 :
E: mkfs.f2fs -t 1 /dev/block/mmcblk0p4 process ended with ERROR=255
E: Unable to wipe '/cache'
E: Error changing file system.
Thanks in advance for your attention
I have a problem ... i'm trying to install Android MM using TWRP 3.0.2 but i can't because i can't format.
When i'm trying to format it shows this error: E:Unable to wipe '/data' -- unknown file system 'auto'
Unable to format to remove encrytion
Do i need to use another recovery?
Can someone tell me how to solve this?
I had the same problem, for some reason TWRP is unable to format encrypted partitions.
It can be solved using adb shell or using the terminal in TWRP (it's under the advanced tab).
To format the partition you have to know which device it is, to find out type this inside the terminal:
Code:
cat /etc/fstab
In my case the output is:
~ # cat /etc/fstab
/dev/block/mmcblk0p13 /system ext4 rw 0 0
/dev/block/mmcblk0p14 /cache f2fs rw 0 0
/dev/block/mmcblk0p15 /data f2fs rw 0 0
Which means that my /data is on device /dev/block/mmcblk0p15 and uses the f2fs filesystem. If you're on f2fs then you can format the partition using
Code:
mkfs.f2fs /dev/block/mmcblkXXXX
if you're on ext4 then use
Code:
make_ext4fs /dev/block/mmcblkXXXX
Where XXXX is whatever is in your fstab. After this TWRP should be able to mount /data.
It worked,thank you!
Ok, now i have another problem ... every time i'm trying to install(flash) a zip with TWRP it's rebooting again in TWRP and can't install anything ... I had this problem in the past and i solved it but i forgot how i did that .. anyone knows?
Solved: i had to format my sd card.

I did that but I am getting only this
/3rdmodem ext4 rw 0 0
/cache ext4 rw 0 0
/data f2fs rw 0 0
and so on
/dev/block/mmcblkXXXX is missing My TWRP version is 3.1.1-1-frd any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi, I tried this, but it's telling me : "need size of filesystem"
Do you have an idea of what's going wrong ? thanks
BTW : i have : /dev/block/dm-0 /data ext rw 0 0
hi I need help. Tell me "need size of filesystem"
Please help me.

help me please
dont know how i got into this. perhaps its the twrp 3.5.2_9 issue.
my parition names are long. ../soc.0/f9824900.sdhci/by-name/userdata
there is no data partition.
any way to get out of this? i dont have anything on the phone so i just want to get back to clean start.
My device: HTC One M7 Android 4.2.2, S-ON, Root, CWM recovery (years old version)
My ultimate goal was: Get xposed framework. Install via app failed after rebooting due to S-ON, so I wanted to install through recovery. (this is irrelevant to the issue IMO)
What I tried to get there: Decrypting my /data partition in adb (because CWM doesn't support it)
What I found: https : // forumDOTfairphoneDOTcom/t/how-to-mount-encrypted-data-in-recovery/25724
Everything(!) I actually did: (commands after $ means executed on host machine (ubuntu), prefixed by ~ # means run on phone in adb shell)
$ adb shell
~ # setprop ro.crypto.state encrypted
~ # vdc cryptfs checkpw "<wrong password>"
200 0 1
~ # mount /dev/block/dm-0 /data
mount: mounting /dev/block/dm-0 on /data failed: no such file or directory
(( a couple commands like ls and cat to find out what my /data partition should be ))
(( ended up finding out in fstab that it's mmcblk0p37 ))
~ # mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p27 ((accidentally wrong one))
mount: mounting /dev/block/mmcblk0p27 on /data failed: Invalid argument
~ # mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p37
mount: mounting /dev/block/mmcblk0p37 on /data failed: Invalid argument
(( notice i entered wrong password ))
~ # vdc cryptfs checkpw "<right password>"
200 0 2
~ # mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p37
mount: mounting /dev/block/mmcblk0p37 on /data failed: Invalid argument
(( a couple more tried of the previous two commands for no legit reason ))
~ # mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mmcblk0p37
mount: mounting /dev/block/mmcblk0p37 on /data failed: Invalid argument
(( exit adb shell ))
(( execute $ adb remount )) (( as google suggested (on host machine, not in adb shell obv) ))
$ adb shell
~ # mount -t ext2 /dev/block/mmcblk0p37 (( accidentally wrong fstype ))
mount: mounting /dev/block/mmcblk0p37 on /data failed: Invalid argument
~ # mount -t ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p37
mount: mounting /dev/block/mmcblk0p37 on /data failed: Invalid argument
~ # mount -t ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p27 (( why not? ))
mount: mounting /dev/block/mmcblk0p37 on /data failed: Invalid argument
~ # exit (( i got frustrated ))
Before I did all this the phone was working normally (after install xposed via app (which gave me xposed version 3x because I had that one previously installed via receovery. But I wanted the newest (5x) so I went all that way)). After I did all these steps - which to me are readonly things which shouldn't brick anything - I got frustrated and wanted to give up, so I rebooted. Now everytime I enter the - 100% correct - password, it tells me to "try again" (guessing it means wrong password? idk).
The whole xposed stuff is irrelevant in my opinion, because after I've installed it using the xposed installer (APK) I rebooted twice and decryption worked fine both times.
What the hell have I done (I'd say I'm a linux expert and I honestly don't see how I could've possible broken anything by what I did) and how can I fix it?
UPDATE: I got myself the cryptheader from the "extra" partition using the read_emmc vulnerability. That way I got the encrypted key and salt. (cryptheader)
I then used this and a modified bruteforce script to check if my right password is still right. Result: It doesn't seem so.
My password contained special characters and was 15 chars long, bruteforce is not an option.
Is there anyway what I did could've changed the password? If so, can I reproduce and get the new key somehow? The cryptheader is not corrupted and still intact. The /data partition (encrypted) is not corrupted and still intact. (I assume this because the encrypted partition's hexdump starts with "This is an encrypted partition", which is a HTC easter egg.)

I'm far from being a linux expert but the simplest would be to factory reset using htc's recovery to remove /data encryption and start from scratch (unless you have some really important data that must be saved from your /data partition)

I have decided to give up on trying and did a "factory reset" (formatted /data and /data/sdcard through CWM, rebooted, set up device for first use, formatted /data again through CWM to result in clean system).
Fun-fact: Before I did what bricked the system I actually made a backup. The device (µSD-Card) decided to go corrupted filesystem though. I managed to recover most of the files but the /system partition backup (which might have saved me) remained corrupted. I was able to restore all my personal data though, so doing a factory reset wasn't that bad for me.
Hi:
I've messed up my Note 9 pretty bad, such that no partitions mount in TWRP except cache - I'll need to do a data wipe, but I need to save data that I have in the Internal SD.
I've discovered via fdisk in TWRP that the media part - the Internal SD is partition sda25 - however can
t mount it in the terminal through a simple: mount /dev/block/sda25 /mnt
I get an error: mount failed: Invalid argument
I've tried: mount -t sdcardfs /dev/block/sda25 /mnt
This gives me also an error: mount failed: Not a directory
Mounting with -t vfat or exfat gives the Invalid argument error.
Anyone can help me with how to mount it, so that I may copy data off of it manually? I don't want to lose it. Many thanks.

cant you simply wipe the affected partitions(except data of course)? then flash a rom?
have you tried;
mount /sys/block/sda25 /mydata
or
mount /dev/block/sda25 /mydata
or
adb
mount -o rw /dev/block/sda25/data /mydata
in both cases /mydata is just the mount point so I believe it can simply be called what ever you want including just /data
have you read:

edit:
by any chance when you first flashed twrp, did you forget to format data?
if yes then flash back stock AP file(original phone's firmware) in Odin AP slot only and you should be good to go.( you shouldn't loose any files in internal storage)
