So I am stuck not being able to boot into any ROM due to this error. I was getting the unable to mount sd/internal card message but have moved on past that by booting into TWRP mounting usb and formatting the internal card. Now I cannot get the phone to mount cache to reflash a ROM. It will flash the ROM then spit out E:Unable to mount /cache....but it will show as Successful but when I boot it just hangs on the boot animation. I've tried TWRP 2.5.0.0 and 2.6.0.0. My phone is S-Off. I've been at this for about 4 hours now...

Not sure if this will help, but I ran across a similar issue with a phone I did some work on awhile back. Try a factory reset from recovery and see if that clears things up.

Hi! I've searched on and off this forum, my husband and I are on the road all week and his phone had been rooted over a year ago by myself, no splashy roms and no problems. His screen froze so he booted, now stuck in bootloop. I have gone into recovrry but its not working. I'm hesitant to wipe data without computer access. He is active military and needs his phone. I will have computer access in the next few days. Please help!

If you can't get out of the boot loop without wiping data or sbf'ing there's nothing you can do but that. If you are in cwr you can try wiping delvik and cache but if not wiping data couldn't hurt since you'll lose everything doing an sbf anyway. Hope this helps

Don't think she was saying that her recovery doesn't work, think she meant that going into didn't help. Although I am not sure what she thought just loading the recovery would accomplish?

This. Seems to always stop those little, alien like happenings regardless of the device.
I'm curious to know what exactly you tried to do in recovery -- did you try to restore a nandroid?

Hi guys,
Last week, I was installing some custom ROMs on my brothers OT-955.
Everything worked fine, I got CWM on there and installed a ROM called PAC (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2088694).
It worked pretty well, but the phone froze a couple of times a day so I decided to try some others yesterday.
When I installed a CM-based ROM, I got a 'status 7' error in CWM and after I rebooted the phone was stuck in a boot loop.
After a while, it showed up when I ran `fastboot devices` and I was able to get it into recovery and install a different ROM.
When that ROM had some trouble I ran into the same 'status 7' error with another one.
I miss-clicked and rebooted instead of installing a working ROM.
Once again, I was able to reboot to recovery using fastboot and everything worked out.
Fast forward 30 minutes, the last ROM had some trouble too and I decided to move back to stock.
CWM reported that stock was installed successfully so I rebooted.
Since then, the phone won't move past the boot screen.
Fastboot doesn't recognize it, `adb` used to recognize it as offline until I replugged it.
I already:
Reinstalled the device driver
Cycled the power (empty, full)
Tried a different host machine
I have no idea what to try next.
Is there someone here with general 'stuck on bootscreen' experience or in-depth OT-995 experience?
Kind Regards,
Tim
Have you wiped cache and dalvik cache before installing a ROM ? You should also format the /system partition for a clean install. Before installing a ROM.

Yes, I wiped the data and cache before installing new ROMs.
I did not format the /system partition, though.
Try wiping cache, dalvik cache and format /system then install the ROM. Hope this works

Oh so the only way to enter CWM is through adb ? Not using any key combinations ? Like volume up or down ?

It's not my own phone so I don't know for sure, but it isn't volume down + power on.
I'm also pretty sure that something is wrong beyond that.
If I had fastboot access I would just directly boot the image (although I did flash it).
EDIT: oh wow, volume up did it.
How stupid of me to not try it.
Okay so you're in recovery ?

I have this same problem with my alcatel ot 995, but my hard reset doesnt do anything. how could i replace this android with new one?
I, m having a serious issue. Was trying to flash a Sense ROM on my EvoLTE and noticed that while in recovery (twrp v. 2.6.3.0) it says unable to mount data. And so the install does not proceed. So now im stuck with phone unable to boot up. Would greatly appreciate some help in getting my phone working again. How do i get around this to be able to flash a rom to get it to boot up.? Also noticed a warning saying that the kernel was not installed. Tried installing slimbean, which is what i had before, but since data wont mount, nothing installs.

Thank you Captain for the advise. I was actually able to find a solution. Googled it and found a similar issue. They advised to go into advance wipe in twrp and wipe the specific partition that wouldnt mount. That fixed it for me.

I am running the Cyanogenmod 11 Nightly from the 11th, and also running crpalmers kernel 5.4.2. I had ART turned on, and was running Gravitybox Xposed Modules. While I was using the phone, while on the charger, it randomly rebooted, and showed the splash screen. The phone was just about dead when it was being used on the charger. While on the charger, the phone repeatedly shows the splash screen, followed by a black screen, and then a vibration like it had just been powered on, and shows the splash screen. This cycles while plugged into the computer. When first plugged into the computer, the computer (Windows 7) makes noises like it is connected and then removed. The phone is not recognized in fastboot or adb. I was able to access the bootloader menu by holding the power and volume down keys. Usually I can not navigate through it by using the volume keys, and it reverts back to the bootloop within 30 seconds. I don't know what is causing this problem, so I tried to give as much info as possible. Any help is appreciated. Thank you in advance.
Hope someone can get you sorted out. Never experienced that particular issue.

When I access the bootloader I am unable to select anything before the phone returns to the bootloop. I can't get to recovery or factory reset. I also believe that running an RUU would be unsuccessful because the phone is in neither ADB and Fastboot mode.

I was able to stop the bootloop somehow. Must have been a combination of attempting to charge it all day and the constant attempts to reboot into recovery. Now I'm in recovery, and there is no partitions. I am unable to factory reset or format data of any kind. I had pushed a ROM to the device in the recovery. I was unable to flash this rom, or the stock splash screen.

So i had a similar problem last evening, left phone over night in bootloop off charger till it died and woke up this morning reconnected bootloop continued for 10 mins then phone booted up, relocked bootloader, flashed stock ruu, unlocked bootloader and installed nusense working fine so far.
Hey guys, I recently attempted to root my old phone using the Amaze All in One Kit v5.2. Well, I was able to get the bootloader unlocked and installed TWRP recovery, but was unable to get any roms to load. I was advised I should relock the bootloader and attempt to do a RUU flash since my phone will no longer boot past the HTC screen. Since I relocked the bootloader, I have lost access to TWRP recovery entirely. I also tried the PH85IMG file on my SD card, but it doesn't seem to do anything different after installing and verifying.
My current bootloader screen displays the following:
***RELOCKED***
***Security Warning***
RUBY PVT SHIP S-ON RL

Flash 4ext recovery and enable smart flash from settings and then flash any ics rom... (4ext has this smart flash feature so even tho you're S-ON you can still flash a rom and the kernel together in twrp recovery only the rom get Flash not the kernel) reason it didn't work for you in the first place..
https://www.dropbox.com/s/ox16mtk02zoi3qf/PH85IMG.zip
If you have a hard time flashing 4ext recovery from all in one kit use it.. (REMOVE EVERY FILE INSIDE IT EXCEPT FOR THE ONE CALLED "recovery.img" and place it in your ext_sd card and go to bootloader and follow instructions) unlock the bootloader 1st if it's locked ...

Gotcha. Well, I just got the bootloader unlocked again, but I am unable to flash 4EXT recovery through the all in one software. The only other option I saw involved installing from the phone, but since I can only get to the bootloader and TWRP recovery screen, I'm unsure of how exactly to install it. You will have to excuse my ignorance on this stuff. I'm pretty computer literate, but this rooting stuff has gotten the best of me thus far...

Well, after installing just that file on my SD card and restarting the phone, it went through a file check and parsing phase then when I clicked on recovery it brought back up TWRP. Obviously I'm misunderstanding something.

Did you do a full wipe before flashing the rom? If there are data of your previous rom in your system partition all the data get overwrite and crashes ... Full wipe = format all (except sd card)
(the one in wipe/format category..)
