[Q] Q: Mounting Problems In CWM - Asus Eee Pad Transformer Prime

Hello,
I just unlocked my rooted prime and flashed the newest CWM via Rom Manager.
Now I can't backup my existing rom. Also I can't install any custom rom.
When I hit backup in CWM, it sais "Can't mount backup path"
When I hit install zip from SD, there is another error "Can't mount /sdcard/
I also tried TWRP Recovery, with no success.
Code:
E:failed to mount /data (Invalid argument)
-- Could not mount: /sdcard.
-- Aborting

Just for info: My device is still running stock rom and is encrypted.
Has anyone a solution for this?
Thank you for your help.
With best regards,
B-Paul

Restore is borked in the latest version of CWM. Push 5.8.2.0 and everything will be OK.

Just tried, still the same error message

You can't mount /sdcard/ (which is a symlink to /data/media/) when device is encrypted, cwm/twrp do not know how to handle this.
edit: Looking at my Nexus, only way to step out of encryption is to use fastboot. It should work like this for the Prime as well.

Internal SD Card is not recognized

Hello,
I ran into some issues after installing the Classic Jewel V0.0.4 Rom that ultimately led to my internal SD card not being recognized or not mounted properly. For the record, I am not blaming the ROM nor am I suggesting that there is anything wrong with the ROM.
Below is the sequence of events:
1. Full wipe of everything except SD card.
2. Flashed the ROM.
3. The Phone booted all the way to the setup wizard but then rebooted.
4. Phone went into a bootloop.
5. Re-flashed the ROM without wiping.
6. The Phone won't get pass the HTC logo screen.
7. I went in recovery and wiped everything and Flashed Fresh's rom / this did not work.
8. I flashed maybe two other ROMS and still not working.
9. I went into bootloader and did a factory reset (I think this may have been my downfall)
10. The internal SD card is not mounted (or not mounted properly) in Recovery. (I can see the SD card, and see the TWRP folder but nothing else.)
11. Flashing any ROM fails. I see several lines of this error: "E:failed to mount /sdcard (invalid argument)"
12. I tried to do a restore but the file is not there (I guess it's because the internal SD card is acting up?)
Any ideas on how I can fix this?
----------------
Edit:
Here are some more errors that I see while in Recovery
E:failed to mount /sdcard (invalid argument)
E:failed to mount /sdcard (invalid argument)
E:failed to mount /sdcard (invalid argument)
E:failed to mount /sdcard (invalid argument)

I think my problem could be fixed by doing something similar to what's discussed in this thread... but I have no clue on what to do.

Stab in the dark but can you get Windows to recognize the sd while in recovery? If so open cmd prompt and type chkdsk /X /F <SD card drive letter> and see if it repairs it......just a thought

The problem is gone!
The strangest thing happened. I kept flashing roms and they kept failing. Eventually, I tried flashing the MeanRom and it flashed successfully.
I am not sure how that was possible but I am happy! I lost some most of files I had in the Internal SD card though but that's okay!
I am going to install the Classic Jewel rom again and see if the same thing happen again.
I know this thread is a little old but i didn't find much else on this issue. I followed these steps to get a ROM loaded back on my phone
ROM update without SDcard
If you don't have an sd card, or your slot is broken you can try this trick, but you will need a custom recovery like Clockwork.
Boot up your phone to recovery. And move your rom file to the adb directory, and start a command line ( cmd )
adb shell
mount data
adb push D:\custom_rom.zip /data/
Wait until the push finised, and restart your device to recovery again with "adb reboot-bootloader"
mount data
mount /data /sdcard ( mount the data folder into your sdcard folder, so your recovery will think that you have an sdcard installed )
Locate the ROM .Zip file you wish to flash.
Confirm the flash by following the on-screen instructions (ie: pressing the trackball, pressing the call button, etc.)
If no errors arise during the flashing process then the ROM flash was successful, Reboot the device.
With some root file explorer, remove the rom file if you don't need it anymore, to free up space.
Or use adb to remove the custom recovery
adb shell rm data/custom_rom.zip
I am still trying to figure out whats going on with my internal SD I will post if i find a solution.
Do not use clockwork recovery.

Nook Tablet Stuck on TWRP

Okay so last night I attempted to root my nook tablet 1.4.3 using this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2037368. I downloaded all the files that were pointed to in that thread, and followed the instructions. Everything went perfect and soon I was setting up my google account, then following the final steps which involved downloading rom manager, and goo manager. All was well, until I decided to reboot the tablet.
After I rebooted the initial loading seemed fine (got the "n" screen"), then cyanobootloader popped up, then the Team B presents XDA logo popped up and then nothing. The tablet stayed frozen on the Team B logo, and rebooting did nothing.
So being the idiot that I am, I tried going into recovery from the cyanobootloder. This took me to TWRP where my dumbass ended up going to advanced and Wiping the system. After that I tried installing Cm-7-Team-B-Beata1-signed.zip and gapps-gb-20110828-signed.zip from TWRP. The log gives several messages that read:
E: Unable to mount /system
E: Unable to mount /data
E: Unable to mount /cache
E: Unable to mount /emmc
E: Unable to mount /emmc
E: failed to mount /emmc (No such File or directory exist)
E: failed to mount /emmc (No such File or directory exist)
E: failed to mount /emmc (No such File or directory exist)
At this point I was freaking out, stopped using my head, and began trying desperately to go back to stock. I tried using this method http://raywaldo.com/2012/06/how-to-un-brick-a-nook-tablet-8gb-or-16gb/, but it didn't change anything.
I decided then to try redoing the rooting guide again to see if that could solve the problem. It did not.
So now the tablet boots into TWRP when I turn it on. I can also enter CWM-based Recovery using the SD card I made from the guide. However, when I enter CWM-based-recovery I get these messages at the bottom:
E: Can't Mount /cache/recovery/command
E: Can't Mount /cache/recovery/log
E: Can't Open /cache/recovery/log
E: Can't Mount /cache/recovery/last_log
E: Can't Open /cache/recovery/last_log
That's pretty much where I'm stuck on at the moment. I figured I should probably stop messing with this tablet before I made a bigger mess.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I'd suggest that you try flashing afresh a CM10 or CM10.1 build using SDcard based CWM recovery, using a method such as described at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2056626.
In case you're considering using one of the so-called "unbricking" tools, read this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=37515697&postcount=31 first before you pick the wrong tool that would permanently wipe out your NT's individual device specific data like WiFi MAC address, security certificate, serial number, etc.
Nook needs a /recovery folder in /cache partition like /cache/recovery.
Somehow that folder is missing
Is so easy to fix that you will laugh
dd zero the cache partition after you make sure cwm/twrp is not have it mounted check by reading mount /cache if it says unmount cache select it first.
Then format cache in cwm/twrp and that's it. Folder will be created by it self and that error print out will stop.
Here it is

[Q] ZOPO C2: can't mount anything except ext sd (system,mmc etc)

I have a ZOPO C2 (http://www.zopomobileshop.com/en/18...tk6589t-5-inch-fhdg-screen-android-phone.html) and it's stuck at the boot image.
I know what went wrong: I tried to move some of the memory of my internal sdcard memory(32GB) to my internal memory(2GB) using this apk: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2240954
After rebooting it just got stuck at the boot image, and the button combination to get into recovery doesn't work (it never did work so no change there)
Through adb I managed to get into TWRP recovery. I cannot wipe anything (except the external sd-card):

I tried installing a custom ROM, which doesn't fail, but I do get a screen full of the same error message:
E:A render request has failed.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
It also gives 1 line of this error message every second while the screen locks due to timeout.
After installing the custom ROM, I try to reboot, but the TWRP warns me "No OS installed, reboot?". After reboot again stuck at boot image.
I tried 2 custom ROM's, both of which worked earlier.
I also cannot use adb shell:
- exec '/system/bin/sh' failed: No such file or directory (2) nRet(-1) -
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
However, I can use the Terminal Command within recovery
Within TWRP recovery I can also use the file manager, where the /system/bin/ folder is empty.
My guess is my filesystem is corrupted. Any idea on how to fix this without adb shell?
Edit: Nevermind, flashed the device using latest stock ROM with manufacturer flasher:

same problem
I have the same problem for the same reason, have tried flashing with the latest stock rom, but does not connect to my phone, how was you able to connect thought adb
thanks

With the flasher I used all I had to do was remove the battery, plug in the usb and let the flasher do its work.

Nabi 2 Flashing trouble with TWRP

Hello, I have a Nabi sitting around and decide to get it out, update it and put it to use. My flashing skills are novice, I do a phone or tablet once in a blue moon and it it usually been with a AIO or relatively trouble free.
I have TWRP 2.3.3.0 and the Kernel is 1.9.3.7 from last year I install custom recovery
I attempted to install Monarch UI Removed/SuperSU & SU Binaries Installed including BusyBox 3.0.13( Fuhu/Nabi/Keenhi Stuff Removed ) - n3wt when that failed I attempted Stock Rom 3.0.13 via TWRP - aicjofs
I did a full Wipe, attempted to install with TWRP and ADB sideload.
The ADB sideload reaches 100% on PC and is marked failed on the Tablet in TWRP sideload UI.
Installing in TWRP I get the following errors in the Terminal
Code:
Updating Partitions details...
E:/Unable to mount '/data'
E:/Unable to mount '/data'
E:/Unable to mount '/system'
E:/Unable to mount '/cache'
E:/Unable to mount '/data'
E:/Unable to mount '/addon'
I also tried installing Stock Version 1.9.37 with similar results.
In the mount menu I can't selec "Using internal storage" or any of the mount options.
Also all wiping options for cash and system fail.
Next I re-installed TWRP 2.3.3.0 through fastboot to make sure everything was clean and it appeared to all take, and I still get the same results trying to flash.
So I am at a loss as what to try next and would appreciate any help.
While posted I've been trying NabiLab here is the error I received on a stock recovery.

Wrong TWRP version is my guess. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=62391871&postcount=2635 There are the 3 versions you need to try.
Thanks, got it fixed.
It was the wrong TWRP. Then I wasn't seeing any recovery files. ADB was giving me an odd generic serial number, I did a back up and then dumped the files in the TWRP created folder and they appeared.

Thanks for the reply.
I tried all 3 versions of TWRP in your post . TWRPv263 for ICS Nothing (cache,data,system, extsdcard etc) will mount. TWRPv285 for JB&KK Everything but /system will mount.
Using all 3 versions of TWRP I tried to install 3013stock.zip and 3013bootloader. No files from the extracted zip show up in TWRP recovery tab.
So I assume the issue I am aiming at is getting /system to mount in either KK or JB version of TWRP. v285?

Phone works but TWRP can't mount /data

Hello, I have this problem where TWRP is not able to mount /data, although the device still works without any other problems. This is preventing me to install XPosed, unfortunately. I have a custom ROM installed, although I can flash stock temporarily if required.
I've done an extensive Google search for this, and all the methods didn't help at all. TWRP can't repair nor reformat the data partition.
Here's the full log:
Code:
[COLOR="Red"]Could not mount /data and unable to find crypto footer.
Failed to mount '/data' (No such device)
Unable to recreate /data/media folder.[/COLOR]
Updating partition details...
[COLOR="red"]Failed to mount '/data' (No such device)
Failed to mount '/preload' (Invalid argument)[/COLOR]
...done
Full SELinux support is present.
[COLOR="Red"]Unable to mount /data/media/TWRP/.twrps[/COLOR]
I'm running TWRP 3.0.2-1.
Thank you for your help.

have you checked your twrp recoverys fstab?

I looked into the TWRP fstab, and noticed that the partition types didn't match, so I formatted the partition with the correct type and reflashed the ROM, and now everything is going smoothly. Thanks!
