Hi all,
I have Samsung A5 2016 and I tried to update my phone through latest Naugat official firmware using by Odin however it turned out something wrong. My first problem is when I enter the boot screen, ''installing update'' screen pops up and then ''no comment screen'' afterward. Second problem is that boot screen shows an error says E: failed to find /misc partition. I've read tons of post however I couldn't figure this out.
I would greatly appreciate it if you could help me.
Thank you & Best!

Thanks
Anybody know how to deal with the E: failed to find /misc partition? I saw this come up on my SM-J700T after I tried to flash TWRP. The flash passed but TWRP was not successfully installed. Probably because I did not prevent reboot and reboot in a proper way . But now I have been all around the barn trying to recover and eventually get twrp and root. I flashed several stock roms with lots of errors and finally got the phone running with Nougat 7.1.1 but the E: failed to find /misc partition error remained on the phone all the while. I was unable to use Odin to re-partition due to errors and have been trying to figure out how to use adb, also with errors (yesterday I launch "abd devices" and get a listing for my device (I think- it is not properly identified) and it lists the device properly, today it lists the same device as unauthorized. So what I really would like to do is completely wipe the phone and start fresh but I only have access to the stock bootloader which allows cache wipe and data wipe- factory reset, which does not wipe the Missing partition. So 1)completely wipe phone 2)install twrp 3)root

Hi
I've got a SmartQ Q8 for 4 weeks. When I recieved it I updated the firmware to the custom rom by D3BA. Everything has been running smoothly until today. While syncing Google Currents, the system crashed and rebooted. This happens sometimes, but this time it hasn't restarted. It shows SmartDevices logo for a time and then goes blank.
I can boot into CWM, so I have tried to restore D3BA firmware and I've also tried the official firmware, version 3.0. With the official I don't see any problem, but it keep on failing. When I install the custom server, I've seen some errors wiping the data partition and also some installing the zip. This are the messages
/data
E: format_volume: make_extf4fs failed on /dev/block/mmcblk0p9
and
/cache
E: format_volume: make_extf4fs failed on /dev/block/mmcblk0p8
I don't know what has happened. After googling the error, it seems like the partition is corrupted, and some directories are missing?? Is there a way to access a console? Maybe using fdisk this could be solved.
Can anyone help me with this?
Best Regards

You can enter in BOOTLOADER Mode and flash the STOCK ROM.
Best regards from Mr.Indigo!
Hello
I think i've tried that. I put the Stock Rom v1 (SMARTQQ8 file) in the root of my SD Card and then I booted with the Power + Vol+ buttons, so it shows a logo and starts doing something, with a progress bar. Once it finishes, the screen goes blank again. Is that what you meant?
Best Regards
EDIT: After flashing the stock rom, I've enter Recovery again (With Power+Ctrl-) and now I can wipe data. I've install the stock again and now everything seems to be OK. Thank you Mr. Indigo, you save my day.
Best Regards

Hey, would you mind letting me know which method you used to flash stock firmware? I am having a similar case with an S3 (Gt-i9300)
So i've posted pieces of this in other threads assuming i knew what the problem was, but nobody has been able to help me so far so i'm posting the whole saga anew.
First off, my phone:
LazyPanda S-OFF
HBOOT:1.12.111
RADIO-1.12.11.0809
I was running MeanRom 4.8 with TWRP 2.3.0.1
Like so many others i tried to OTA update just to get stuck at the recovery screen on reboot. I then found out that i had no ROM installed. I tried to wipe (cache, dalvik, system, etc) and flash a new ROM but i kept getting FAIL messages in TWRP.
"Formatting and mounting partition...
e:error in /sdcard/meanrom-ics-v49-jewel-ltevo.zip
(status 1)
error flashing zip '/sdcard/meanrom-ics-v49-jewel-ltevo.zip'
updating partition details"
I figured it might be a botched DL so i did it manually, MD5 checked out after copying to the mounted device. Attempted to flash the clean DL and i got the same error message. I nandroid restored an old stock rooted ROM I had and it installed just fine. After booting up to the system ROM for the first time I immediately got an "Internal storage is low" error. Checked and after a clean restore (no apps installed, fresh out of the box...) i only have ~200MB free in the app storage section (out of 1.92GB). I can't fathom what's taking up all the other space, nothing seems to be there. Because of this i can't install Titanium, Rom Toolbox, or anything else that may be remotely useful. I tried fixing permissions and re-wiping, re-restoring and i got the same thing.
I tried to flash the TWRP 2.2.2.0 image from recovery thinking this was the problem and got this message:
"updating partition details
E:unable to open ums lunfile 'sys/class/android_usb/android/f_mass_sto.....
Formatting cache...done
Formatting Data... done
Using rm -rf on .android_secure
Updating partition details
E:unable to open ums lunfile 'sys/class/android_usb/android/f_mass_sto.....
E:unable to open zip file."
And THEN i tried to ABD flash the TWRP image through fastboot with "fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.2.2.0-jewel.img" then 'fastboot flash boot openrecovery-twrp-2.2.2.0-jewel.img' and got this error:
"FAILED (remote partition is not allowed to be flushed!)"
So, i'm stuck with a device that loads a stock ROM, cant flash a new recovery or ROM, and cant' install anything useful because it's full after a restore. Does anyone have any suggestions how to clean/resore my partitions through ADB or a script? Your advice is much appreciated.
I can't help, but I suspect you'd have better luck posting this in the TWRP thread.
I'm wondering if fastboot erase cache would help here. I've seen that command used I think to clean a partition, but it may have been for something else. Sorry, this is a bit over my head. Hope you get help.

You might have to re lock and run the RUU and then unlock and flash twrp, 2.3 has issues with the partitions for some reason so stick to 2.2
Try updating to the latest twrp. The latest is 2.3.1.0 not 2.3.0.1.
2.3.0.1 had issues which you can read about here

It's been updated already? Cool

Yeah, it fixes the mounting of the sdcards and the flashing rom problem
You may also want to get the 1.12.2222 hboot from the unlimited site. It has fastboot commands enabled.
I noticed you tried flashing TWRP to both the recovery and boot partitions...Do you get the same error when you flash to just recovery? TWRP should not be on boot.

Good afternoon, guys.
I'm writing here because I'm completely desperate. Yesterday I tried to update a Galaxy Ace GT-S5830M using a custom ROM. Sadly, I forgot to install the CWM first, and of course, the installation was aborted in the process. After that, each time I entered to the STOCK recovery, it said "E: failed to mount /system (invalid argument)".
I tried to install the CWM, apparently in a successful way but it didn't stay there, I mean, when I reboot the phone I end in the STOCK recovery. The thing is, after "installing" the CWM, I tried to wipe it all, but I got some issues:
1) When doing the dalvik cache wipe I got this: E: unknown volume for path [/sd-ext]
2) Trying format/system I got "Error while mounting /system!" "Skipping format" or something like that.
If I try to reset factory from the STOCK recovery I get "E:format_volume: rfs format failed on /dev/stl11"
I also tried to install a STOCK ROM through ODIN (I used 1.85, 1.87 a 3.07 without any luck) but sometimes I get stuck in "SetupConnection", in other cases the process ends failing while writing the BcmBoot.img (Complete(Write) operation failed), and the likes.
And adb doesn't recognize the cell phone at all.
Do you have any idea or suggestion? I tried it all but I just can't make the cell phone go ahead. By the way, KIES don't recognize the cell phone, don't know if that can change it all.
PS: I can "install" a ROM while playing around in the CWM. It apparently installs correctly but then, after rebooting, I get stuck in the "SAMSUNG GALAXY Ace ..." screen.
Please, help.
Hi guys,
Having a bad time setting up my S7 Edge (international model).
End goal is to have it rooted with a Lineage OS ROM.
Successfully flashed TWRP (3.1.1.0) using Odin3 (v3.12) and had no issues booting into TWRP and looking around.
Issues began when I tried to wipe the internal storage in preparation for a new ROM; I got errors along the lines of "unable to mount /data" invalid directory, "unable to mount /system" etc, and the wipe would fail.
Following another user's guide I formatted my /data partition to ExFat (plan was to then format it back to Fat4, which supposedly fixes the issue), however this froze the phone. I was able to reboot it after leaving it a few hours, however now the phone just freezes on the TWRP logo when I try boot into recovery.
I have reflashed TWRP to no avail.
From what I've read online, flashing a new ROM via Odin might recreate all required partitions (namely /data) ? Issue with this is I can only find .zip, not .tar ROM's as required by Odin.
Have I just turned my phone into a brick ?
Any suggestions on what to do next would be greatly appreciated !
Many thanks,
Pron
Hi All,
Having some issues with my V30 H930.
I've unlocked the bootloader, installed TWRP and had Pixel Experience running nicely.
Last night I decided to change the ROM to Potato Open Sauce Project, so I rebooted to recovery, performed a factory reset and then proceeded to install the latest POSP ROM and OpenGapps Mini.
After installing, I tried to reboot to system but instead, it just booted back into TWRP.
I then attempted to factory reset and install both zip's again. Same result, could only boot back to TWRP (No fastboot or normal boot).
Now nothing will install on the phone.
I found several threads that advise to try repairing Data or to change Data's format to F2Fs then EXT4. When trying this, I get the following messages:
Failed to mount '/system' (No such device)
Failed to mount '/data' (Device or resource busy)
Failed to mount '/cache' (No such device)
Unable to mount storage
I have tried rebooting to recovery multiple times and doesn't help.
Does anyone know what the best way to resolve this is?
I was considering letting the battery die and then try to boot into fastboot and attempted to reinstall stock software with LG UP but not sure if that will work or not. The phone is currently on 100% battery, so it'll be a while before I can test this.
