Hi guys, looks like im back with another rom / storage problem, and its really bugging me. PLEASE HELP!!!
Ok, stock sam firmware is fine, cm 9 is fine, anything higher or lower boot loops and / or doesn't have internal storage. I flash recovery 4.x.x.x (CWM) Through rom manager, (Allows me to reboot into it, but volume up power and home gives stock recovery) I flash a rom in this way:
Wipe data
wipe cache
install zip
reboot
sometimes, i will also wipe dalvik / battery stats
In cm 10 recovery it says warning no file contexts
when I format preload in cwm-based recovery v6.0.4.5
E:format_volume: make_extf4fs failed on /devblock/mmcblk0p12
Error formatting preload!
I also get this in cwm-based recovery v6.0.4.5
E:Can't mount /storage/sdcard0
Error mounting /storage /sdcard0!
in earlier versions of recovery, both sd cards show up on my mac after turn on usb storage, but when i flash cwm-based recover v6.0.4.5 it only shows external
when I flash cm10.2 / 10.1 i get bootloop. I flash kitkat rom after, and it boots, but recovery and rom cannot access internal, sometimes external storage. I really dont know why.
i am sorry its all a bit messy, but I just wanted to tell you guys everything
Please help guys

THIS PROCESS WILL ERASE ALL YOUR DATA
I encrypted my HTC ONE MAX last day and because of TWRP error in decrypting my partitions,Like:
Code:
Mount /SYSTEM.error
Mount /DATA error
I decided to decrypte my phone but as I said, TWRP recovery Didn't found any partion on my internal strong.
The solution is simple :
1.Download stock HTC stock recovery :
Stock Recovery Sense 6 - Latest
Stock recovery 3.23.401.1 (Google Drive Download Link) (it's for international version - Find more in other threads)
2.Boot into bootloader -> Fastboot
Use your ADB :
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery_t6ul-3.23.401.1.img
3. Go to your Setting -> Backup & Reset and Reset Your device
your device will reboot and recovery will ERASE ALL YOUR DATA
Now You have Non-encrypted Device
4.in final step you could flash TWRP again Like:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery twrp-2.8.7.0-t6ul.img
Another option is using TWRP...
Go into the Wipe settings,
Select Format Data,
Type Yes when prompt
And when is complete, complete a Factory Reset under the Wipe settings.
Don't forget that it will wipe internal storage so you will need to have a copy of the ROM on the external storage to flash..

When your device is encrypted, TWRP Can't mount your internal storage!
It should decrypt with stock recovery first...

It does when you format the data.. I was encrypted and read this technique in a separate HTC forum.

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

I was in Xiaomi.EU 9.3.28 in a "encrypted storage" situation
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.

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?
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:
