Hello All,
I recently came across a rather annoying error on my Galaxy Ace (GT-S5830i), after using it the phone decided to turn itself off without any warning and restarted in recovery mode without any interaction from me. I then told the phone to restart as I had no reason to be in the recovery mode, however it then began "Boot-Looping" and would not turn on, Recovery Mode and Download Mode still function as normal. After an hour of it stuck boot-looping I decided to flash a new ROM (JellyBlast V3.0.3) this completed sucessfully according to Clockworkmod, I then rebooted and it still continued to Boot-Loop. So i then rebooted and selected Wipe Data/reset. The Log showed the error I was waiting for it read as follows.
-- Wiping Data...
Formatting /data
Error mounting /data!
Skipping Format
Formatting /cache..
Formatting /sd-ext..
Formatting /sdcard/.android-secure..
Data Wipe Complete
After Seeing that it was failing to mount the data Partition I went to the Mounts and Storage Option and tried mounting the data partition there "Mount Failed"
Does anybody know why it can't mount that specific partition or how to erase the NAND and manually Re-Partition it? I've tried ODIN to no luck.
Using Linux Ubuntu 12.04LTS
Thank you for taking the time to read this
PS I've attached a photo of the Log given by CWM
Try to format with stock recovery.

Tried stock recovery aswell, as CWM isn't flashed to my device, no luck
Flash stock rom and than go to stock e3 recovery and wipe everything.

Have you use .pit file and tick repartition? If yes than you may have a hardware problem.

The problem isn't with flashing ROMs, its the internal partitions that are corrupt.

I've used the .pit and Selected Repartition, I've read on another page somewhere that you can use adb shell and then use FDISK to repair the partition as I suspect that an application I installed caused the error, howeve I keep getting "Permission Denied" despite being rooted?
U could use Droid explorer. Not sure it has the format command though... But has plenty commands may get u to have root access from adb shell may be...

It all started today when I rooted my stock 2.2 and installed Voodoo.
After I installed Voodoo, my phone wouldn't boot. So I Odin'ed a stock ROM.
The Problem is, I have no internal/external storage on the phone at all!
I've tried flashing milliions of times, but no dice. Anyone know how to fix this?
EDIT:
There was a time where it showed my internal storage and I used the File manager to go in and erase the Voodoo folder and stuff. But still nothing. And everytime I check the "Re-partition" option in Odin, I get an says that Data wipe failed. I'm really stuck here guys!
EDIT2:
Now it says:
"update media, please wait
E:Can't mount /dev/block/stl10
(Invalid argument)
E:copy_dbate_media:Can't mount DBDATA:
your storage not prepared yet, please use UI menu for format and reboot actions"
If I selsect "format internal sd-card" I get the same error.
boot into recovery, clear cache, do a reset and then clear dalvik the reflash 2.1JFD make sure to check repartition box, after it is done then root and then flash a custom rom of your choice

If I'm not mistaken, CWM is the only one with that option. I don't have CWM installed.
AWESOME!
Seems to have worked... I got all my storage space back.
Only problem I have is, low application storage.
I started up my Gtab today (running ICS 4.0.x), and it keeps popping up stating "Encryption unsuccessful
Encryption was interrupted and can't complete. As a result the data on your tablet is no longer accessible.
To resume using your tablet, you must perform a factory reset. When you setup your tablet after the reset, you'll have an opportunity to restore any data that was backed up to your Google Account."
WTF?
I tried booting into recovery mode, but it hangs after stating "Recovery key detected, Booting recovery kernel image"
That's all it does....
Any suggestions on how to correct this?
Thanks ahead of time...

1. As the message says you'll most probably have to do a "wipe data/factory reset" in CWM. Run the command in this post.
2. Which version of CWM do you have?
Im not certain what version CWM is but it was the most up to date at the time. I cant access CWM as it sits now.
Should I try to use NVflash to rerun the Full_Stock_NVFlash_CWM_5504_Touch-1, just as I did before I installed ICS?...then reinstall the rom?
I can not access CWM...it locks up after stating "booting recovery kernel image"

The usual reason for that error message on ICS is a corrupted /data partition. To fix it you'll have to do either a "wipe data/factory reset" or a repartition the internal SD card in CWM.
GunRunner said:

The most common reason for that is
a) using the wrong version of CWM for the bootloader installed on the system--ie. using a recovery containing a 1.2 kernel on a 1.1 bootloader or vice-versa.
OR
b) a corrupted recovery partition.
To fix both on ICS--esp. if you've used the nvflash package in the TeamDRH ICS OP--try reloading only CWM-5.5.0.4Beta15 using nvflash.
Can you tell me what you were doing before all this happened? I can understand the /data partition becoming corrupt, or, the recovery kernel being the wrong one (or the partition being bad), but, I can't figure out how both can happen at the same time without something explicitly being done to cause it.
Not sure if it helps but I am also getting this error, I will update as I attempt to troubleshoot.
ROM: G_Harmony_ICSv1.5(120)(SuperCharged) (4.0.4)
CWM: 2.5.1.1-bekit-0.8
I got both errors but the second was solved by unplugging my computers USB cable from the g-tab.
(I can not access CWM...it locks up after stating "booting recovery kernel image") SOLVED
Steps:
1. From the settings picked factory reset loose all data and SD card data.
2. Reboot to recovery (CWM).
3. Formatted the internal SD card and ExSD card using CWM.
4. Mounted SD card on computer using USB cable connected to the G-Tab.
5. Let windows format the SD card. (Was this bad?)
6. Loaded ROM.zip file over to SD card from computer.
7. wipe data/factory reset.
8. wipe cache partition.
9. install zip from SD card -> coose zip from sdcard -> G_Harmony_ICSv1.5(120)(SuperCharged).zip
10. Install.
11. Reboot.
12. Error screen "Encryption unsuccessful Encryption was interrupted and can't complete. As a result the data on your tablet is no longer accessible...." "Press this button to do a factory reset"
13. Press the button to the same results.

UPDATE 1:
When I did a rewipe i found that when i did the data wipe is said:
-- Wiping data...
Formatting DATA...
E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk3p2
(No such file or directory)
Error mounting /data/!
Skipping format...
Formatting CACHE:...
Formatting SDEXT:...
No app2sd partition found. Skipping format of /sd-ext.
Formatting SDCARD:/android_secure...
Data wipe complete.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Could it be that when I used my computer to format the SD card I did it wrong?
UPDATE 2:
I was browsing around the CWM options and I found:
advanced -> Partition SD Card
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
So I did that and then a data wipe again, and this time it said:
-- Wiping data...
Formatting DATA...
<<NOTE THE LACK OF ERRORS>>
Formatting CACHE:...
Formatting SDEXT:...
No app2sd partition found. Skipping format of /sd-ext.
Formatting SDCARD:/android_secure...
Data wipe complete.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I am hoping things should work now, I picked 2GB with a 0MB swap.
UPDATE 3:
Ok... should have figured that deleted my SD card files including my ROM "G_Harmony_ICSv1.5(120)(SuperCharged).zip" so I mounted it and copied it over again.
(I also did some mounting and unmounted and may have lost it there.)
UPDATE 4:
IT WORKS!! fixed, must have been because I formatted out the data partition, but CWM fixed this for me!
I hope this helps others with the same issue.
Hello guys,
I have a very strange problem that noone else has because i cant find anything about it on the net.
I have a Galaxy s3 with cyanogenmod 10.2 and boeffla 2.1 stabe using twrp as recovery. I´ve set up my system and made a backup of everything. then i´ve wanted to check if the restore is working so i restored my backup. after a reboot my entyre phone was set to factory state. happened 2 times . cyanogenmod was still installed but i had to configure the entire system again. after downloading all apps i decided to install cwm instead of twrp using cwm 6.0.4.5 touch for i9300 flashing via odin 1.85. everything worked fine and i booted into recovery to make a backup. cwm then says: Error cant mount /system so i tried to mount the system via the storage option. still says cant mount /system. then i rebooted my phone and again everything was gone... im really angry because whats the point of using a backup and then everything is gonna be erased.
i hope someone can help me with this. i also would erase everything and start from zero so that everything works.
Edit:
manual factory reset shows this:
formatting data
Error mounting /data.
Error mounting /sdcard/ . android_secure!
Skipping Format
formatting cache is working
cant format sd card.
&
Cant download apps from google play because of server problems...
show log:
mount: mounting /dev/block/mmcb1k0p16 on/data failed: no such file or directory
W: failed to mount /dev/blockmmcb1k0p16 (file exist)
cant wipe dalvik cache
!!!phone gets resetted everytime after cwm says error cant mount /system!!!
regards
Can be closed
I´ve installed original Samsung firmware and then CWM + CM10.2 + Boeffla 2.1 again and now CWM can mount everything and the Backup also works. maybe Twrp ****ed something up. i dont know.
regards
THIS PROCESS WILL ERASE ALL YOUR DATA
I encrypted my HTC ONE MAX last day and because of TWRP error in decrypting my partitions,Like:
Code:
Mount /SYSTEM.error
Mount /DATA error
I decided to decrypte my phone but as I said, TWRP recovery Didn't found any partion on my internal strong.
The solution is simple :
1.Download stock HTC stock recovery :
Stock Recovery Sense 6 - Latest
Stock recovery 3.23.401.1 (Google Drive Download Link) (it's for international version - Find more in other threads)
2.Boot into bootloader -> Fastboot
Use your ADB :
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery_t6ul-3.23.401.1.img
3. Go to your Setting -> Backup & Reset and Reset Your device
your device will reboot and recovery will ERASE ALL YOUR DATA
Now You have Non-encrypted Device
4.in final step you could flash TWRP again Like:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery twrp-2.8.7.0-t6ul.img
Another option is using TWRP...
Go into the Wipe settings,
Select Format Data,
Type Yes when prompt
And when is complete, complete a Factory Reset under the Wipe settings.
Don't forget that it will wipe internal storage so you will need to have a copy of the ROM on the external storage to flash..

When your device is encrypted, TWRP Can't mount your internal storage!
It should decrypt with stock recovery first...

It does when you format the data.. I was encrypted and read this technique in a separate HTC forum.

Hi There,
I am having some serious problem with my galaxy S3 i9300 device.
When ever i try to start my phone it gets stuck on the first brand logo. Doesn't even go to the boot screen. Fortunately TWRP recovery is working. When i tried to format the data it says "E: unable to mount internal storage".
Tried to google on this but couldn't find any solid solution.
Can you please help me out here.
Regards,
Vaibhav Nagariya
@Vckydada: go to TWRP ..Mount: are system and data mounted?
Try another recovery and if that doesn't work flash a stock rom and start over.
I wish I stole my HTC M9.

Nope. Nothing is mounted. Nor data, system neither i am able to mount external SD card.
@Vckydada: as @shivadow said, go back to firmware. After flash with Odin factory reset. If this doesn't help, you've to repartition.
