When I boot on system, there is a message say that:
Security policy restricts use of external sdcard

When I tried to mount sdcard in Recovery mode, it can't mount sdcard. They show this error
mount: mounting /dev/block/mmcblk1p1 on /sdcard failed: No such file or directory
I: failed to mount ext4/vfat/exfat /dev/block/mmcblk1p1 /sdcard (null)

Is my card reader chip on my s2 broken?
Go to Settings/Security/
Device Admins and see if there are any possible restrictions else try wiping cache and dalvik cache (just in case) !
oh i just read it again and i saw you posted EXTERNAL sdcard, haha i thought it was internal sdcard
well do what niku~ said. first go in security and see if there's smth and wipe cache/dalvik.
it happened to some people that flashed a theme to the Rom, and after flashing another theme, the bug disappeared...so if u flashed a theme, try it...
if it doesnt work, try reflashing Rom.
if it doesnt work too, i suggest you do a full wipe and flash another Rom.
this is probably a software issue

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:

Fixed
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.
Hi Guys,
I'm pretty new here and hoping you can all help me with unbricking my phone.
So I have a Samsung S3 I9300, with CM 13.0 installed, I am using CW recovery v2.7.0.0
I've installed many custom ROMS to this device over the past few years without a problem, each time formatting and wiping Dalvik cache etc..
Today my phone randomly rebooted and a message came up that my phone failed to encrypt and it wiped all my data and that I had to reboot into recovery to perform a factory reset.
A bit random I thought.. So I rebooted into recovery and did a "reset to default" in CW.. this was successful, however I noticed some issues on the terminal screen...
Code:
E: Unable to find partition size for /boot
E: Unable to find partition size for /recovery
E: Primary block device /dev/block/mmcblk0p12 for mount point is not present!
E: Unable to mount internal storage
E: Unable to mount /data/media during GUI startup
E: Unable to mount /cache
Full SELinux support is present
E: Unable to mount /cache
E: Unable to mount /cache
E: Unable to mount /data/media/TWRP/.twrps when trying to read settings file
E: Unable to mount /data
Updating Partition details...
E: Unable to mount /efs
E: Unable to mount /data
E: Unable to mount /data
E: Unable to mount /cache
E: Unable to mount /system
E: Unable to mount /data
E: Unable to mount /preload
E: Unable to mount internal storage
I've tried to format but it shows failed.
I cannot install another ROM as both the internal memory and SD card both show 0MB
I've plugged the SD card into my computer and there are still files on the card.
I've had a look online and found that typing in a command into the terminal should fix it, however nothing happens..
I get an error that mmcblk0p12 does not exist.
Code:
mke2fs /dev/block/mmcblk0p12
Any help would be great! Although i'm pretty sure it's bricked
Cheers Guys!
Chris

Did you have any success with this, Chris?
This sounds like what happened to my I9300 on CM12.1. It just froze and only rebooted to Samsung logo and stayed there.
When in TWRP recovery, there's just no access to internal memory or SD card.
The terminal mentions a lot of "E: unable to mount /data", /cache, /system, storage, etc
Most TWRP options fail to do anything, because of not being able to access partitions.
No factory reset, no wipes, no installing img's. When rebooting to system, it warns about no OS being installed.
Downloading a stock firmware now to see if it flashes via ODIN, but I don't have high hopes for it.
Does anybody know what would cause this? Or is it just bricked now?

Ah well, mine seems dead too. The recovery doesn't work anymore, only download mode, but ODIN can't get anything on it...
I think the main storage just died.

Damn, I dunno what happened.. My CM was a nightly though, SO I can only assume it was unstable.
Just bizarre how my phone rebooted and gave the message that it was unable to encrypt the device and needed to be factory reset.

I was running a quite stable CM12.1 version for a couple of months now. Only had two reboots all this time.

I had a few reboots when it was working, then it just suddenly bricked my phone
Sounds like the eMMC brickbug. You need to get the eMMC replaced. All of you that face the problems.
Well, after four years my S3 was getting very slow. It was bearable with CM, but I decided to say farewell now.
Also, my microphone was busted when I dropped it at some point, so I could only call with a headset anyway.
It's not worth replacing I think, time to move on
The same happened to my Beelink GT1 S912 9377 TV-box (after failed OTA update). Will check eMMC brickbug (from TWRP) ...
I have a Nexus 2013 Wifi Tablet.
I found a rooting tutorial specifically for that model. I had installed a version of TWRP from a link included in that tutorial. However, when running recovery mode, the tablet was stuck in the TWRP splash screen for over 5 minutes. I then googled for a new version of TWRP and installed it. However, it displays the following text then continually boots:
Count not mount /data and unable find crypto footer.
Failed to mount '/data' (Invalid argument)
Unable to recreate /data/media folder.

I had found a tutorial to remove TWRP and then reinstall Android but I can't get a ADB connection as it now says:
error: device '(null)' not found
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
The device is connected as I've verified it connection via lsub on Linux and it shows in Device Manager in Windows.
I did some more tinkering. I have the phone in Recovery mode and tried the following
fastboot devices
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I got the following output:
no permissions fastboot

Click to collapse
i also tried

Which twrp version have you installed. And if you can still boot into recovery follow this steps .
1. Wipe dalvik cache and data.
2. Flash android 11 rom it should give error
3. Wipe dalvik data and cache again.
4. Flash rom
5. Format data.
reboot.
