I am on an HTC Droid DNA (unlocked bootloader), S-ON, with TWRP recovery (I can also flash CWM). I want to install ANY ROM in order to get my phone back to working order. I have tried installing a ROM.zip through recovery (yes, I flashed respective boot.img) but I get an "unable to mount /data" when attempting. When I go into TWRP -> Mount -> Mount data (checkbox) I cannot select the option. Basically I am at a stale mate. I need to mount the data in order to install a ROM, but I cannot mount the data...
update?

I am having the same problem. Were you ever able to find a solution?
I would suggest trying this in hboot from terminal:
fastboot erase cache
If that doesn't help, then try a different recovery version.
Hopefully you don't have corrupt blocks in your data partition.
You could also try installing an Aosp Rom, as they don't typically mount or install anything to the data partition.
How are partitions created / managed in TWRP recovery?
The "parted" command does not seen to be available in adb shell when using TWRP on my Samsung p6810.
I think I have a corrupt partition and I want to remove and recreate it (e2fsck fixes errors but hangs instead of finishing at a command prompt), but surely I won't need to reinstall CWM recovery to do this? All partitions appear to format OK in TWRP, but ROM installation subsequently hangs when trying to reformat System partition.
Thanks.
Hello everyone, I'm in desperate need; any hint would be highly appreciated:
My GT-I9100 got drenched in a thunderstorm I encountered on my vacation. Unfortunately, I saved all of my pictures to the internal SD which is now inaccessible. :crying:
What the Phone does:
- When I start the phone it gets stuck at the "Samsung-screen"
- When I try to enter Recovery I get the CWM logo and the message "CWM-based Recovery v6.0.3.2". However the phone will restart after a few minutes and not actually go into recovery
- I can go into Odin Mode (Download Mode)
- I can connect on adb while recovery is supposedly loading (before the phone restarts) --> I can't mount the internal SD card (assuming from fstab that it is /dev/block/mmcblk1p1 or /dev/block/mmcblk0p11; both files seem to have a size of 0 KB); "mount -a" via adb shell freezes the phone.
What I tried/hope for:
My primary goal is to recover the pictures from the internal SD, not to get the phone running again.
- I tried to access the files via ADB. However, my understanding of the partitioning/file system is quite limited. The file system I can see via adb does not include the files I was used to find with my file explorer on the phone. From /etc/fstab I assumed, that the internal memory (that contains the DCIM folder with the pictures) is actually mounted from a file in /dev/block/ called mmcblk1p1. Trying to mount it gives me the following error:
"mount: mounting /dev/block/mmcblk1p1 on /sdcard failed: No such file or directory"
Using adb shell (ls -s) I realized that all files in /dev/block seem to have a size of 0.
- I tried to reflash CWM using ODIN --> Odin on my Computer force closed (both v1.85 and v3.x)
Is there any hope to recover my data? Please share your opinion; any help is highly appreciated!

Not even a chance to access the memory chip?
You have tried and the phone has failed you.
I have a Nook Tablet 16GB. It won't even power on to the "n" logo screen unless there is a CWM SD Boot card installed. I get mount errors once inside CWM.
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/
I've tried the Factory Restore (repart.img) and it runs through and tells me the device will shutdown in 5 seconds. (The other times I've used this it sits at a green check mark until I shut it down manually) This doesn't resolve the issue or make any changes at all.
I've tried Adam's Ubuntu method and the device boots to the SD card but sits at a blank screen after a few seconds and does nothing, even when left on over night. This doesn't resolve the issue or make any changes at all either.
I can connect to the device in ADB and the plan was to use parted to fix some partitions using Veronica's methods, but when I run the parted /dev/block/mmcblk0 print command no partitions are found at all on the device. I'm never prompted to fix any partitions either. The only thing it sees in the ext sd card partition. In the past when I've done this it shows 11 partitions with some details. This time it shows nothing. I am unable to find any information anywhere as to what to do next.
It is as though the internal SD Card (memory/hard drive whatever you call it) isn't working or detected by the system any longer.
Does anyone have any recommendations on what to try next? Please help!
I'd suggest burning a CM10.x pre-made SDcard image (e.g., cm_acclaim_10.1_21APR2013_HD_SDC_IMG.7z from Succulent's repo http://iamafanof.wordpress.com/2013/02/18/cm10-1-jellybean-android-4-2-2-for-nook-tablet-0218/) and see if your NT can successfully boot and run a ROM from SDcard. If it does then you can proceed to restoring stock ROM (or flashing CM10) internally on emmc.
Also, refrain from reformatting any partition (other than possibly /cache, /system, /data, if you have good reason to do so and know what you're doing), as you risk making the problem worse -- see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=37515697&postcount=31.

I made an SDCard using Succelent's repo and was able to boot to the Cyanoboot Bootloader but a few seconds later it just went to a blank screen. I rebooted and could get into recovery by holding the "n" button and selecting that. When I select to boot from SDC it just goes to Bootloader and then goes blank. It never boots into the OS.
I never mess around with partitions and I'm not sure how this thing got this way. I purchased it from eBay as a tablet for my daughter. It did say the device was bricked but that the hardware was okay. I've seen bricked devices in the past and the repart.img (Factory Reset) has always resolved the problem. I have a Nook Tablet that my son has been using so I've become pretty familiar with the basics of rooting, loading CWM, TWRP, Cyanogenmod, etc. But I've never seen it were I get mounting errors inside of CWM and am unable to flash anything. It won't even mount the external SDCard once inside CWM.
Not sure what to do and I hate to give up on this. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Assuming that SD-based CWM is functional, you should try flashing flash_kernel_acclaim_30MAR2013_HD_SDC.zip under the heading "Flash this if your NT doesn’t boot newer kernel" in the SDC image section of http://iamafanof.wordpress.com/2013/02/18/cm10-1-jellybean-android-4-2-2-for-nook-tablet-0218/.
Also, you should try "wipe /cache" while in SD-based CWM recovery to see if that would take care of the /cache related mounting errors you encountered.
This happened to me last year. There is a post in development section about fixing partition table by So****e. It's the last resort, but worked for me.Also, Adam Outlers Ubuntu method loses your serial number, gone forever. Good luck

Happened to my first nookT not to long ago....It died but the best advice I can give has already been given try not to erase more stuff. Digimax helped me not to long ago. Make sure you format your sdcards correctly and if you can flash a recovery or boot into it you should be able to use one of Succulents cards. Good luck

I tried to download the file you suggested, but the actual file isn't there any longer. When I click on the download link it takes me to GOO to download it, but said file can't be found. I also tried wiping my cache partition again from inside cwm, but no luck. Still getting the mount errors.
I believe the real issue is that my device doesn't see /dev/block/mmcblk0 (or rather is sees it as the external SD card). there is no /dev/block/mmcblk1 either. I thought perhaps the internal and external were swapped, but that doesn't appear to be the case. So since the device can't recognize the internal SD card I don't think I will be able to get anything to flash until I get that resolved first. I'm certain that is why Adam Ubuntu fix and Meg's reprt.img aren't working.
Probably the only way to do that, if it is even possible, is to do it through ADB. Veronica has a thread that shows how to recreate all of the partitions, but when I attempt to do that it doesn't see the internal storage at all so I can't even get started.
I really hate giving up on anything so I will keep trying as long as it takes if I know it is possible to fix this, but I'm not sure what steps to take next to try and get the internal storage recognized.
For all I know it could be a permission issue.
Do you know any commands I can run from ADB Shell to try and get the internal storage recognized?
When I run a list command from ADB shell I get the following:
~ # ls
ls
boot fstab.acclaim sd-ext
bootdata init sdcard
cache init.rc sys
data internal_sd system
datadata proc tmp
default.prop recovery ueventd.acclaim.rc
dev res ueventd.goldfish.rc
emmc rom ueventd.rc
etc root
external_sd sbin
~ #
So it looks like the internal storage is working after all and I can get into some of these directories and files and CAT or TAIL them. Perhaps the MBR is messed up or something?

You can try one of Succulent's more recent 10.2 builds listed at http://iamafanof.wordpress.com/2013...id-4-3-for-nook-tablet-imgsdc-boot-09aug2013/ which he uploaded onto Media Fire: "cm_acclaim_10.2.0-RC0_13OCT2013_HD_SDC_IMG.7z (mirror)".
You might also want to take a look at Succulent's recovery tools (in particular flash_stock_1.4.2.zip) at https://github.com/succulent/acclaim_recovery_sdcard.
I've attempted to flash a newer version of cyanogenmod on my phone (10.1.3 to 11). I'm using TWRP 2.6.1.0
I can not boot because I've wiped the phone (dalvik, system, data, internal storage, cache), and I suspect the ROM I have is corrupted but I can't connect it to my computer and transfer the file via USB because I have no ROM installed and can not boot. I also can't take the SD card (since there's non) and put the file that way.
My phone is Oppo find 5
My root file flashing was successful, but installation of the ROM cm-11-20140204-NIGHTLY has failed. I assume the file was corrupted, but I have no way to find out what it is.
I now realize my mistakes, like wiping the system unnecessarily.
Is there any way to get another file on the device? any other suggestions?
Also, I'm not sure if this is the correct place to post this, but I was not able to find the right place. I apologize in advance.

Check that thread, set up adb and push a ROM to the internal sd of your phone via adb. You can use adb in recovery mode (I could in CWM, dont know about your recovry) so if you can boot into recovery, you can push the rom. (There is info on the thread about adb pushing/pulling)

Cwm has an option to mount storage to PC in mounts & storage menu
Check if twrp has the option
You can mount it that way:good:
