Hey folks,
I think I briked my Phone last night but I dont give up on it.
What happened: I tried to flash a new ROM because my current Custom ROM didnt appeal to me at all. So I went into TWRP and made a normal wipe. Then I tried to install new new ROM.zip. The first odd thing was that I couldnt navigate to the download folder on my external sd card. The good thing was that the old ROM.zip was available for flashing so I decided to flash the old ROM anew. And then...nothing happened. I couldnt intall the ROM. Not even the Gapps.zip was able to be flashed.
Then I thought I could try it via Fastboot on the PC (I have a Motorola x Style/Pure) and googled how to do it. I found a command to install a .zip and tried it. But it didnt work: It said smth like 'Bootloader denied'. So that wasnt the ways to go for me.
After that I went back into TWRP and looked on the command line. And there was smth odd aswell. I said: "Failed to mount '/cache' (Invalid argument). The same with 'data'. The internet said I should format (not wipe) the storage in TWRP. I tried it and although it said that it was successfull nothing was...TWRP is still unable to mount cache and data.
I found out that it has smth to do with the encryption but idk.
So that is my problem: I cant install anything. I cant format anything.
Pls if you have any idea on this pls tell me. I already ordered a new phone but it would be nice if this phone didnt become a paperweight...
And thank you if you read till here. Aaaand sry for my bad english

^^That's what's at the root of my gtab's /sdcard.
Also, there used to be two folders in that that I had created and are no longer there.
Here's what I was doing immediately before I noticed this:
I'm currently using TnT Lite. I need to be able to access wifi at work but my company uses EAP encryption and TnT doesn't have a setting for EAP. I decided that rather than switching roms, I would just switch settings menus (using the files found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=857939).
Stupid me, I downloaded them to /sdcard2 rather than /sdcard. I booted into clockworkmod and tried to install the zip from the sdcard but clockworkmod couldn't find anything. I realized my mistake and rebooted the gtab and hooked up the usb to my pc. That's when I noticed the file corruption.
Everything still seems to work as it did before, I just don't have access to any of the files that were in those folders.
In case it matters, one folder held the TnT Lite rom and the other held several videos.
Does anyone have any idea what could have caused this?
Should I try to delete the corrupted files?
Any help with this is much appreciated.
I don't claim to know why this happens this is just what I did to fix my problem.
I noticed this on my gtab also, to the point my cal program wouldn't open. The only way I could fix it was to do an sd partition to it fix the issue. There are instructions on how to do that with cm8. This is from memory so please double check, go to the advanced options choose sd partition 2048/0. Please note that this wipes the sd card so back up prior.
I still get a few of those weird files buy not like before.
same thing happened to me but hasn't come back after
re-partitioning with cwm ... maybe that is the fix
I would *really* like to know why this happens (that and why
the sdcard2 gets wiped out sometimes).
Basically, you dare not trust android with any important data
and you never know if what's on it will disappear suddenly
Unfortunately, this makes the tablet just a toy
So is the best option really just to re-partition the sd card?
If I end up re-partitioning, will I have to flash the ROM over again? Or does partitioning just remove the user data?
Quote: will I have to flash the ROM over again?
No
I've read a few random Galaxy related topics on the SD card not mounting, but Im worried about using methods from other devices on this device.
In Rom manager premium, Flash ClockworkMod recovery was used, selected Vibrant, it said no official recovery, and asked if I had installed version 2 or 3 of CWM. I selected 2 and it said its using CWM with Rom Manager.
Well now anytime I reboot into recovery, or try to flash a rom from Rom Manager Premium it cannot mount the SD card.
I go into mounts and storage and try and mount the SD, nothing.
Is this something as simple as re-partitioning the SD? Or has something corrupted in my recovery?
BTW, XDA, you guys ROCK!! I dont post usually, cause I dont need to! Except this time
The guides and walk through here are so easy I usually never have troubles. Rooted and rom MANY different android models for work here All thanks to XDA!
***** CHECK OUT THE COOL PACKAGE I JUST RECEIVED!

were you able to solve this?
I don't know its a virus or what but suddenly my phone was not responding. I had a doubt that it was a virus so I decided to wipe everything but my recovery also stopped working.
How can I solve this ?
What ROM are you using?I suggest flashing a new ROM This time wipe everything except SDcard if it fails then wipe SDcard too.
nothing is working :/ i tried adb and tried to mount the system but it is failing. tried to wipe through twrp nothing working.
update twrp to 3.0.0 but still same
Now I have done "fastboot erase system" now my os is not starting and i am unable to flash another through adb
Please Any suggestion ?
anyone ?
if u erased system partition then os wont start as u have erased os files. Now the best thing to do is wipe all partitions from twrp. download a new custom rom and flash it through twrp. if u were using stock rom and want it u may get that from forums too. if u have a working nandroid backup ( which i feel u dont have) of previous rom u may try that
i can't format or wipe or do anything from my twrp.
EDIT: you can see it in the video

Hii there!
I am relatively new to this so I'll explain everything I know and tried so far.
I have a Micromax AQ4501 Android Phone running marshmallow. Recently My phone started acting strange like apps suddenly crashing. Yesterday, My phone ran out of juice. After charging it for a while, I switched it on and it was stuck on a boot loop. It has happened many times before. I usually fix by flashing it with stock ROM available on Micromax website. But now the case seems different. I first unlock the bootloader by going to fast boot and by using "fastboot oem unlock" then "fastboot -w" then when I restart my phone I should get a Micromax boot logo with oem unlocked written below. I then went to recovery to check something out. When I entered recovery, It showed E: cannot mount /cache (Invalid Argument). I tried to factory reset in recovery menu, it still showed the same thing. Even /system couldn't be mounted. I cannot even flash the ROM as I cannot unlock the OEM. I read few forums and many suggested to try it with different recovery. As I couldn't flash it, I used Android One Toolkit and booted into TWRP, CWM and Philz8 recovery. In all those, I got the same error message. In TWRP, the internal memory showed 0MB and in the mount selection, I the system, data and cache option were grayed out( Couldn't select them). I even tried to wipe cache method, still no luck. So From boot loop, now my phone is bricked. I have attached the images regarding this. Images 1 and 2 are of stock recovery. The remaining are from TWRP recovery.
Can someone please suggest or guide me through how to restore my phone. Here is my email just in case [email protected]
Since this is my first post I cannot share the link to my drive. Upon request, I will surely share those images.
Thankyou

So I have this phone Xiaomi Redmi 10X, and I wanted to put Pixel Experience 11.0 in it, after seeing this thread on GitHub.
To my surprise, following steps on that link was not that easy!
I flashed MIUI 22.1.19 manually (not in the correct way), and I ended up with a hard bricked phone.
Yesterday, while Googling about that, I managed to run into a tool called MTKClient v2.0
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
and it solved my problem, by flashing original firmware and got it correctly working with the default MIUI 13 system.
BUT, that wasnt enough for me, because I still wanted to put Pixel Experience in it since I like it so much and think it is so sexy!!! So I, without knowing what I was doing, erased all the partitions in my phone with that tool.
Now, I cant get it to connect to that tool to work or connect with my device. On the cmd behind though, I do get some hope after seeing that device is still recognized in some way, but that's all there is to it, it doesnt go further, only "Phone detected: Reading model info".
I've tried to wait and keep both volume buttons pressed at the same time, but to no avail.
Since this, I've tried several tools but none is working to reset my partition table to original state, since I think that's my problem.
Any idea how to fix it?

No. What is that?

Even if it connects, it shows no partitions to write over.
What it needs, is to first restore the erased partitions, I think, and then writing (flashing) the firmware into it.
