Hey guys,
I have been having problems with some CyanogenMod roms lately. My I9300 was working perfectly using one of the nightly CM 11 ROM's released in early March, until I installed the latest M Snapshot. From there on in my phone has gone insane.
From time to time, during the day the phone gets blocked without any apparent reason. My first thought was that has something to do with the RAM, maybe its getting low somehow, but no, that wasn't the case. Most of the time I have at least 160-180 free ram, usually more than that.
Anyway, then I thought maybe the problem was the installed ROM, so I did a re-install but still,with no effect. Then I downloaded 17th of march nightly ROM, wiped clean the cache and reset the phone. Still with no effect.
My next solution is: Download the newest nightly, currently 18th of March, install the latest Clockworkmod Recovery, which is 6.0.4.6., reset and wipe the phone again (backing of course) and install the latest ROM. What do you guys think?
Also, does anyone else has this problem after installing the latest M-Snapshot from the CM download page.
I would much appreciate your help. Thanks a lot.

Yes. You definitely should install the latest CWM. And when you wipe, make sure that you (from the CWM menu ofc):
wipe data/factory reset
mounts and storage -> fromat system
mounts and storage -> format /data and /data/media (/sdcard)
advanced -> wipe dalvik cache
then flash the rom etc
If you didn't do this in the first place when you tried flashing the ROMs the flashes were dirty and that may be the reason why they didn't work.
Doing the above will give you a real fresh start with your ROM and problems should not appear.
So, I don't think the problem is in any of the ROMs you tried.. I'm just guessing, so correct me if you did all the above
I have been doing just fine with CM 11 M3 and M4 builds and now I'm on the latest nightly and everything is working perfectly! :highfive:
Hey Man,
I did that, but now the problem is that I cannot install the rom because it has wiped all the data that were there. Now I cannot transfer the rom into the phone. I transfered it into the external sd card but it does not let me to install it, it shows an error.
What to do now???

You should always put roms on ext sd card before you are ready to flash not internal for situations like this! Flash back to stock with odin and start again.
Connect the phone via USB cable, go to recovery, Mounts and Storage, and then click Mount USB Storage. Then, transfer the ROM. Have you thought about having the Cm instaler?

Sorry I think my reply might have confused you..I was suggesting that he should have transferred his rom to ext sd card before he started to flash and wipe system..It looks like he wiped the system in recovery and could not transfer rom to internal sd so he managed to transfer the rom to external sd where it would not let him install please correct me if I am wrong ..
I know there are other options he can try but in this situation I recommend flash to stock to give him a clean system and minimize any errors he might have and then he can try again the correct way.

That was the exact situation I was in. I tried mounting the ext/sdcard and transferred the rom to it, but it didn't let me to install it, it said installation failed.
Dear Friends
After spending too much time searching and encountering many incorrect answers, I finally found a solution on my own and decided to let you guys know
It's really simple, It's not exactly a big crack but we were installing the ROM incorrectly.
Solution 1 : Just Install ROM using the internal memory don't use any other storage option like microSD Card or OTG. It worked for me.
Solution 2 by Pourush Sharan Bhargav
1. Wipe everything from twrp.
2. Download a stock rom of k6 power and flash it with a Qualcomm flash tool.
3. Go to settings check.......phone now will not be encrypted.
4. If it says to encrypt, do not do it.
5. Go to twrp and make changes to data and cache partition to ext4.
6. Wipe everyting again from twrp.
7. Flash your custom rom like RR and gapps.
8. Done, enjoy.....
All the best. Please give me Kudos if this tip is helpful to you.

if i'll wipe internal memory then how i'll install the rom..because it is in internal memory only.

That's not what i meant. Follow below steps
Remove the SD card as it might interfere with the process.
1. Reboot in TWRP
2. Do all the wipes (Data, System, Delvik, Cache Internal storage)
3. Then connect USB and copy ROM and Gapps in Internal Memory
4. Flash both.
Hope it works.
Okay.
Can you tell how to copy the files from pc to phone while in recovery mode?

2. Download a stock rom of k6 power and flash it with a Qualcomm flash tool.

Hey,
recently many are facing the problem to suddenly receive the above error and aren't able to solve it by formatting data (well, it cannot be mounted).
Here are the steps that I suggest in case you find yourself in that situation (obviously all data including internal storage content will be gone afterwards, so make external backups of important stuff if you can before continuing)
- (re-)flash lastest twrp (currently 3.2.1.1) via fastboot
- boot to recovery
- wipe dalvik, cache, vendor, system, data
- format data (the one where you need to type "yes")
- reboot to recovery before flashing anything
- now flash your stuff
This helped a few people already, but please comment if it also does (or doesn't) for you!
Cheers and greetings,
Phil the Thrill
I had this problem, but not always just formatting helps. First time when I install LOS 15.1 I didn't format internal storage then LOS crypt my storage and TWRP couldn't mount it and I can't just format it, I have error when I try to format it in ext4 by default. Then I try to format it to another file system and select ext2. TWRP succesful format data and then I select again to format it to ext4 and install other rom. I don't know why first time TWRP couldn't format data.
I use google translate. Sorry if I have misspellings

I didn't just suggest to format anything...
The important thing is to reflash twrp via fastboot.
The point is that after doing this you might even be able at all again to format data...
If you follow the further steps I think you're good to go and don't need to change any file system.

Thats because maybe on a backup you select another storage that nota the internal storage....maybe you select otg storage ir something....put the selection on Internal storage....and it resolves

Hi, I had the same problem. (Redmi Note 4, Mido)
But after installing RedWolf (Build 27)
with adb/fastboot and everything works fine - without formating everything.
This maybe can help,
first i enter wipe menu on twrp and advanced wipe, mark data partition then repair or change file system, after that change file system, change to what ever except ext4 (i use ext2 one) then change again to ext 4. Done you get data partition back
*this method will wipe your data on that partition
solution about unable to mount data on s7 edge
Hi,
Make sure to do a backup of your data, all data will be erased
after many attempts to find the solution

After messing it up I endend in a situation where I can not mount the data partition.
Follow your steps and now I'm setting up xiaomi.eu 9.5.9 without a problem.
Thank you very much.

Format data solved everything. But before format data, you better backup all your files. Because all of it will be erased like new.
Thank you.

Hey King,
I do not use a Redmi Note 8, yet I had the same problem with my Moto G5 Plus.
Until I read your post and now my phone works.
Thank you!
Hi, i have TWRP 3.6.0 installed on my mi 11 lite (courbet), and then it shows "unable to mount /data". I know, formatting helps, but what to do if i don't want to format it, only i want to update the rom?
Hi, I'm fairly new to XDA, flashing custom roms and rooting, but I'm really desperate right now.
I know many people probably already have had the same issue, but after searching all over the internet i didn't find my exact problem.
I used Nitrogen OS on my Pocofone F1, but after 1 Month of usage I wanted to try MIUI again, an important thing I remember is that i flashed a new kernel,
but I don't know if that makes any difference.
I made a backup of MIUI without any data on it (i made a hard reset before, so nothing would go wrong) and then installed Nitrogen OS the correct way (i wiped dalvik, data, ...) and everything, even installed the decrypter and everything worked fine.
Now I deleted dalvik, data, cache, ... and loaded the Backup of MIUI and as soon as I booted I suddenly got a bootup password, even though i should get nothing at all because it's basically a clean install.
I tried the normal password that i used all the time, but it didn't work, so i decided to get back to twrp.
Now i got a decryption password, that i don't know and the internal memory is 0 bytes large.
I loaded the nitrogen os backup that i also made, but it didn't work.
I read on other forums, that i should format my internal memory and try to flash the disable-force-encryption again, but i don't really know what to do exactly. i know how to format the memory, it's on the bottom when you want to delete data, dalvik, cache,... but still... .
Even if my phone is briked now, can anyone help me? I really don't know what to do

First of all your phone isn't bricked. It's going to be ok.
The bad thing is that you will lose your internal storage.
The procedure to format data is :
(While in twrp) "mount"-> check "data"-> "repair change file system" -> format your data partition.
After that, no password will be asked. Now wipe system davlik cache and data and reboot into recovery again.
If you have sd card installed start flashing. If you don't, you need to plug into a pc and copy what you need inside your internal storage.

Cache
System
Vendor
Firmware
Cust
Persist
USB-OTG
Micro SD card
I use twrp on the version 3.3.0-0
when i go to "wipe" -> "format Data" it says that it will also remove the encryption should i do that?

Yes. That's the solution. After that your device will get encrypted again on reboot, unless you flash encryption disabler. I would suggest keeping the encryption and not flashing anything more

The error 7 occurs due to outdated vendor/firmware. Download latest firmware and flash it before the rom you want (for example if you want to clean flash a rom: wipe system, davlik, cache, data.. flash firmware.. flash rom [you won't get error 7].. flash gapps.. reboot)

Hi, I used multiple roms and almost all have a few issues mostly with VoLTE, although I love the ROMs and the Devs' work but I need to go back to stock for functionality purposes. Please provide reliable links for stock ROM zip files. Thank you.
Found it
Back up your data first
1. Follow this link select your device and download the ozip
https://realmeupdater.com/
2. Put the ozip in an external drive(Pen Drive or Micro SD)
3. Boot into twrp and format the phone then wipe Dalvik, Cache, System
4. Navigate to the ozip throught twrp and flash it
5. The data might get encrypted post a successful flash so Format data again then wipe Dalvik, Cache, System
6. Reboot into system and there you go.
