Please help, I only can use TWRP :( - LeEco Le Max 2 Questions & Answers

I have a LeMax2, I was running the ROM PixelExperience, I updated the rom for the last time in February, and when I tried to update the rom to the latest a few hours ago messages like "unable to find crypto footer" "error:7" showed, and when I tried to wipe cache "failed to mount '/data' (no such process)" and "unable to mount storage". Then I looked in youtube and changed the format first to EXT2 and go back to EXT4, and the only thing I did is to delete the data of my phone without making a backupp (my fault). What can I do now to install any ROM? Thank you so much.

Heyyo, first off, please ensure you have the latest version of TWRP. To install Oreo ROMs you need TWRP 3.2.1-0 or higher.
Next? I'd recommend reformatting your data partition to remove any form of encryption like this:
Wipe > Format Data > yes > reboot to recovery.
Then using a PC or USB flash drive copy and install your ROM of choice. :good:

[Q] Ater Odin, No storage

It all started today when I rooted my stock 2.2 and installed Voodoo.
After I installed Voodoo, my phone wouldn't boot. So I Odin'ed a stock ROM.
The Problem is, I have no internal/external storage on the phone at all!
I've tried flashing milliions of times, but no dice. Anyone know how to fix this?
EDIT:
There was a time where it showed my internal storage and I used the File manager to go in and erase the Voodoo folder and stuff. But still nothing. And everytime I check the "Re-partition" option in Odin, I get an says that Data wipe failed. I'm really stuck here guys!
EDIT2:
Now it says:
"update media, please wait
E:Can't mount /dev/block/stl10
(Invalid argument)
E:copy_dbate_media:Can't mount DBDATA:
your storage not prepared yet, please use UI menu for format and reboot actions"
If I selsect "format internal sd-card" I get the same error.
boot into recovery, clear cache, do a reset and then clear dalvik the reflash 2.1JFD make sure to check repartition box, after it is done then root and then flash a custom rom of your choice

If I'm not mistaken, CWM is the only one with that option. I don't have CWM installed.
AWESOME!
Seems to have worked... I got all my storage space back.
Only problem I have is, low application storage.

Unable to load ROM / formatting /system or /data

Hey guys, I have one quick question here.
Today I updated my Vanilla RB from 2.8 - > 2.9. All went ok until I updated DorimanX from 7.0 -> 7.1.
Now I'm unable to get past the boot animation.
Normally I would just wipe/factory reset and install a fresh rom. But this time I don't have a backup of my recent appdata.
I am nearly at the point of wiping anyway but then I thought if I could format /system or /data without harming my apps and appdata?
TL;DR: Does formatting /system or /data affect application data?

1. /system does not have anything to do with your data, so formatting it wont affect your data. However, if you format /system, then you have to flash a ROM, hence, your device wont boot.
2. /data contains all your application data, settings, messages etc. formatting it will sure delete the same.
I'll advise you to format /system and flash ROM again. Your data will be intact and your device should boot now.
yesyes that was my intention; to format /system and flash the ROM again.
Thank you
edit: not working, guess I'll just wipe

[FIX] How to solve "unable to mount data" error

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

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.

I LOVE YOU!!! U saved me when nothing worked. Ty so much !!
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?

twrp can't mount data.

Everytime I format data or change file format to ext4 then it will mount data/internal storage. But, after the first boot, it is back to square one.
Running Pixel Experience latest.
Twrp version 3.2.3.-2.
Any sort of help will be appreciated because I have to format my phone every time.

Question Orangefox can't wipe data: unable to mount storage

Hi, Orangefox can't wipe data, it gives me this error: unable to mount storage. I think the problem is that the data partition is somehow encrypted, but i haven't encrypted it so now I can't decrypt it because I don't have the password. I've already tried with the unlock password but it fails. I know the easy solution would be to format all data including internal storage but I would like to avoid that possibility. Do you know what can I do?
(The CrDroid rom I was installing before this problem occurred is in bootloop, so I can't access it).
Have you tried other recovery? TWRP, PE, Miui.
TWRP tells me the same thing: Unable to mount storage
I think the only solution is to format data. Is there a way to recover the files? I have no backup.
Data return is possible. Formatting must not be done and you must load the ROM from which the data came. That is, the last working ROM. After running it, then back up the data and only then try a new ROM where the data will be formatted.

How do i load the rom? I can't install it with TWRP, it says:
Devices on super may not mount until rebooting
recovery.
To flash additional zips, please reboot recovery to
switch to the updated slot.
I've tried also with OrangeFox, same error
OK, the problem was relative to the A/B slots: by switching to the other slot I managed to install and access to the rom. Now I can recover the files, so I can format data without problems. Thank you!
