[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):
Updating partition details...
E:Unable to mount '/cache'
E:Unable to mount '/data'

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.

I9300 - Unable to find partition size for /boot

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!

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) ...

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!

internal storage failed to mount Oneplus One

I have an old Oneplus one that I would like to get working to recover some data. The phone is stuck in a bootloop. This happened out of nowhere one day while charging. I was running CM 11. I can still access twrp(version 3.0.2-0) and i can enter fastboot. The various partitions are as follows Boot(16MB), System(733MB), Data(OMB). The 0 MB in data in odd. Also the storage doesnt mount. Whenever i try to format data it says, "Failed to mount '/data'(invalid argument), unable to recreate /data/media folder, unable to mount storage". If i try to repair or change the file system, it says the same thing. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

TWRP on Swift 2x: Failed to mount '/data' (Invalid Argument)

Hi all.
I'm trying to make a last backup of the stock Android of my Swift 2x before flashing LineageOS. But TWRP (version 3.3.0-0) Seems unable to use the /data partition. I got various messages like:
Could not mount /data and unable to find crypto footer.
Failed to mount '/data' (Invalid Argument)
I tried to format the partition: Wipe -> advanced wipe -> repair or change filesystem -> change filesystem -> ext4 but it didn't change anything.
What's wrong? What can I do?
Thanks a lot for any hint.
bumping this thread as I also ran into this issue.
When using TWRP, the data and system partitions can't be mounted. they also show up as being 0mb in size.
Because of this, no backups can be made and a full system wipe also yields errors.
What I did was change the filesystem to ext2 and then change it back again to ext4.
Doing this at least allowed me to flash crdroid, but making backups still doesn't work.
Whenever i go into TWRP again, it's the same thing again: unable to mount and partitions show up as 0 mb in size.
Anyone know what's causing this?
Wileyfox encrypts there data when you factory reset your device or after youve rooted your device .To get around this you need to do a factory reset using stock recovery once thats done then turn off the device. Then using minimum adb and fastboot type (fastboot boot twrp.img) that will boot your already installed twrp now erase data internal storage etc you'll notice you can finally delete stock os youll see internal storage is showing mbs available again etc worked for me perfectly.
