Hello,
I encrypted the phone, but found out in a painfull way (missed) that "wake up on alarm" does not work with encryption.
Have a problem though trying to do a factory wipe/reset via twrp recovery to de-crypt it.
Booting to recover -> Wipe -> Standard wipe (data, cache, dalvik) gives me
Code:
E:Unable to mount '/data'
E:Unable to recreate /data/media folder
Updating partition details...
E:Unable to mount '/data'
E:Unable to mount storage.
E:Unable to mount /data/media during GUI startup.
Finished running boot script.
E:Unable to mount /data/media/TWRP/.twrps when trying to read settings
E:Unable to mount '/data'
Formatting cache using mke2fs...
Done.
E:Unable to mount '/data'
Updating partition details...
E:Unable to mount '/data'
E:Unable to mount storage
... and a big, red FAILED on factory reset. I can't do a backup or restore a backup (shows empty storage), probably for exacly the same reason (can't mount /data). Tried flashing recovery twice already, once manually, once via GooManager.
This is on HTC ONE X+ (Int) running stock ROM, rooted with TWRP 2.6.3.0, hboot 1.72.0000.
Any suggestion would be of great help.

try erasing it from fastboot
Code:
fastboot erase system
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot erase cache
Thanks for a prompt answer. That gives me:
@silver ~/Dropbox/HTC $ sudo ./fastboot erase system
erasing 'system'... FAILED (remote: not allowed)
@silver ~/Dropbox/HTC $ sudo ./fastboot erase userdata
erasing 'userdata'... FAILED (remote: not allowed)
@silver ~/Dropbox/HTC $ sudo ./fastboot erase cache
erasing 'cache'... OKAY

so a no-go unfortunately. In TWRp there's format option for /data, but if he can't mount it, probably won't format either?
Is this problem solved?
if yes, how did you do that?

you need to format data in TWRP which will cause you to lose EVERYTHING on the internal sd too
Format data, it will delete only internal storage
I rooted my phone 1 year ago and no problems until last week. It runs on soak test 5.0.2 Lollipop. Stock ROM.
After normal use I went to sleep and next morning I see twrp recovery was on. I didn't flashed/modified anything.
I tried reflashing recovery, flashing stock rom but no use. Also I have nandroid backup but fails to restore. I was getting these kind of errors in twrp when I try to restore.
E: Unable to mount '/data'
E: Unknown MTP message type: 1
When I try to wipe cache or data, I was getting the below error messages in twrp.
Formatting System using make_ext4fs function.
E : Unable to mount '/system'
Updating partition details...
E : Unable to mount '/system'
E : Unable to mount '/data'
E : Unable to mount '/cache'
E : Unable to mount '/persist'
E : Unable to mount '/firmware'
E : Unable to mount '/fsg'
E : Unable to mount '/pds'
Also tried flashing 4.4.4 stock rom using fastboot but it gives errors.
Please please someone help me.. Many thanks in advance... confused:
After I did a factory data reset in TWRP, every thing looks normal but when I boot the OS and do the first boot setup
and then go back to TWRP the problem appears again.
How do I fix it?
Thanks in advance.
SPECS:
OS: lineage OS 8.1 official.
Phone: Redmi Note 4 snapdragon.
I have the same problem. Did you find a solution yet?
Everytime I try to wipe cache/dalvik I get
Code:
Could not mount /data and unable to find crypto footer.
Failed to mount '/data' (Invalid argument)
Unable to recreate /data/media folder.
Updating partition details...
Failed to mount '/data' (Invalid argument)

Hi all,
I'm very new here and I hope you all can help me unbutton my phone.
So I have a Samsung S3 I9300, with CM 13.0 installed, I'm using CW recovery v2.7.0.0
I have installed many custom ROMs for this device over the last few years without any problem, each time formatting and cleaning the Dalvik cache etc.
Today my phone restarted randomly and a message came that my phone failed to encrypt and cleared all my data and that I had to restart on recovery to perform a factory reset.
A bit random I thought .. So I rebooted in recovery and did a "reset to default" in CW .. this was successful, however I noticed some problems on the terminal screen ...
Code:
E: Can not find partition size for / boot
E: can not find partition size for / recovery
E: Primary block device / dev / block / mmcblk0p12 to the mount point is not present!
E: Internal storage can not be mounted
E: Unable to mount / data / media during GUI initialization
E: can not mount / cache
SELinux full support is present
E: can not mount / cache
E: can not mount / cache
E: Can not mount /data/media/TWRP/.twrps when trying to read the settings file
E: Can not mount / data
Updating partition details ...
E: can not mount / efs
E: Can not mount / data
E: Can not mount / data
E: can not mount / cache
E: Unable to mount / system
E: Can not mount / data
E: Can not mount / pre-load
E: Internal storage can not be mounted
I tried to format but it fails.
I can not install another ROM because both the internal memory and the SD card show 0MB.
I plugged the SD card into my computer and there are still files on the card.
I had a look online and found that typing a command in the terminal should fix it, however, nothing happens ..
I get an error that mmcblk0p12 does not exist.
Code:
mke2fs / dev / block / mmcblk0p12
I'm unable to format my honor 5x completely.
Getting error
E:Unable to wipe '/data' -- unknown file system 'auto
Unable to format to remove encryption.
I have tried changing the file system to exfat and then back to ext4 but it didn't help.
Any suggestions will be helpful.
