Hello all,
I have run in to some issues with my phone today, and have spent several hours trying out different things, and reading through the forums.
My phone is unlocked, s-on, and have had no problem loading multiple different ROMs in the past. The most recent ROM I was using was Carbon 1.7. It had been working well for the most part, periodically the phone would restart itself, but I didn't really consider that an issue.
Today though, I was taking a photo with the phone, and it restarted itself. Upon the restart, it became stuck at the HTC boot logo. Once I got home I investigated it some more, and figured I'd try and just wipe the cache/dalvik, and this is where I came to realize I might be in a big mess than originally thought.
I'm not able to wipe the cache, dalvik, system, or anything. I try to flash a ROM, and it seems to work, and since i'm S-On, I try to load the boot image with Hasoon's All in One Kit, but still stuck at the boot logo. I try to do a full wipe from within the ROM when install, and also tried a full wipe with Super Wipe, but no luck.
This is what I'm seeing (I've tried using TWRP, CWM, EXT, and all come up with something similar):
E: Unable to mount '/cache'
E: Unable to mount '/data'
E: Unable to mount '/system'
E: Unable to mount '/devlog'
E: Unable to mount '/emmc'
E: Unable to mount '/emmc'
E: Unable to mount internal storage
I've racked my brain as much as I possibly can. I consider myself a noob when it comes to most of this stuff still, so any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks so much
I recently sold my amaze to a coworker and over the weekend if started doing the same thing i spent all night trying to figure it out... I did a full wipe except sd and it wouldn't recognize the sd card. It was running cm10.1

S-Off your amaze. Then apply a stock RUU. I had to downgrade to GB to recover my phone. Android 4.1.x and 4.2.x roms tend to have this bug of partition corruption with our phones.
Fix internal storage error
If you wipe or factory reset it from the bootloader, it may kill the internal storage partition. Just connect USB, go into recovery, unmount and remount USB storage, it will recognize the internal storage and say its unformatted. Then format it as fat32. Then you can do a wipe and reimage. Thanks to OM4 from XDA for posting this. Worked for me!!

Hi All
I had my phone on charge overnight (as usual), but when I got up this morning, I had an error "Device memory damaged" on screen, it says "The data partition has been corrupted. You need to reset the device to factory defaults. This will erase all your data" and has a button marked "Reset device"
When I tap the button, it boots to recovery, TWRP scrolls some text on screen, it then reboots back to the same error screen.
If I manually boot into recovery and try to wipe data, I'm told
Code:
E: Could not mount /data and unable to find crypto footer.
E: Unable to mount '/data'
E: Unable to recreate /data/media folder.
Updating partition details...
E: Unable to mount '/data'
E: Unable to mount internal storage.
E: Unable to mount /data/media during GUI startup.
Full SELinux support is present.
E: Unable to mount /data/media/TWRP/. twrps when trying to read settings file.
E: Unable to mount '/data'
E: Unable to mount '/data'
E: Unable to wipe '/data'
Updating partition details...
E: Unable to mount '/data'
E: Unable to mount internal storage.
I tried flashing recovery-clockwork-6.0.4.6-i9300 via heimdall to see if that had any more success, but that failed too (although I'm not sure if that was due to the phone or my heimdall set-up).
I've spent most of the day trying to find a fix, but I'm just going around in circles.
The Phone is an i9300, and it was running UltimaROM 17.1
Any ideas how to get my phone working again?

First flash the latest stock firmware for your country then factory reset in recovery before first boot.
If that fails then try the rescue firmware thread in general forum, use the 4 3 version and pit file that thread contains.
If that also fails then it sounds like your memory is indeed damaged.
I wouldn't advise anyone charge the battery in their phone overnight, the processor and nand memory is then running 24/7 and will obviously fail sooner

I have same problem but phone is s7 edge. Did you found a solution.
Unable to mount is a twrp issue. I've seen it many times before.
I have solved it on a custom rom by flashing an official clockworkmod recovery.
I have solved it on a stock firmware by flashing a stock recovery
I have solved it by flashing back to stock completely.
*I have read that some people cannot recover their phone from that state.*
Hello,
First of all, my english isn't very good.
Ok, I have a huge problem with my lenovo k3 note, I was listening to music yesterday and suddenly it stopped. I tried to unlock, restart itp but nothing. Finally I took off the battery and they restarted the phone, it stopped on Lenovo bootloader, so again battery, restart and this time I went to TWRP recovery. I wanted to restore one of my backups, but there is no backups, internal storage is 0mb, I can't do factory reset, I can't install any zip, nothing. Windows 10 sees just external SD card, no intenal memory.
Entering TWRP makes errors in console like this:
E: Could not mount /data and unable to find crypto footer.
E: Unable to mount '/data'
E: Unable to recreate /data/media folder.
Updating partition details...
E: Unable to mount '/protect_f'
E: Unable to mount '/protect_s'
E: Unable to mount '/cache'
E: Unable to mount '/data'
...done
E: Unable to mount storage.
E: Unable to mount /data/media during GUI startup.
and some more "unable to mount /data".
So I tried to flash original rom with sp flash tool, but on my last rom (MIUI 7 custom) I didn't enable USB debbuging. Every stable ROM or flash tool version I try, every time and the end there is BROM ERROR: S_CHCKSUM_ERROR (1041) and if I boot my phone after such flash it stops on bootloader and in TWRP still internal storage 0mb. I've tried do sth with adb but it doesn't detect my phone, flash tool works though.
I don't know what to do, please guys help me! It's my first android phone and rooting a phone and recovery was a challenge (just installing roms from twrp is very easy) and I really need your help, so please help me.
Thanks in advance and have a good day!
lenovo k3 error 1041
did you solved the problem with lenovo k3? i have the same problem
Hi Guys,
I'm pretty new here and hoping you can all help me with unbricking my phone.
So I have a Samsung S3 I9300, with CM 13.0 installed, I am using CW recovery v2.7.0.0
I've installed many custom ROMS to this device over the past few years without a problem, each time formatting and wiping Dalvik cache etc..
Today my phone randomly rebooted and a message came up that my phone failed to encrypt and it wiped all my data and that I had to reboot into recovery to perform a factory reset.
A bit random I thought.. So I rebooted into recovery and did a "reset to default" in CW.. this was successful, however I noticed some issues on the terminal screen...
Code:
E: Unable to find partition size for /boot
E: Unable to find partition size for /recovery
E: Primary block device /dev/block/mmcblk0p12 for mount point is not present!
E: Unable to mount internal storage
E: Unable to mount /data/media during GUI startup
E: Unable to mount /cache
Full SELinux support is present
E: Unable to mount /cache
E: Unable to mount /cache
E: Unable to mount /data/media/TWRP/.twrps when trying to read settings file
E: Unable to mount /data
Updating Partition details...
E: Unable to mount /efs
E: Unable to mount /data
E: Unable to mount /data
E: Unable to mount /cache
E: Unable to mount /system
E: Unable to mount /data
E: Unable to mount /preload
E: Unable to mount internal storage
I've tried to format but it shows failed.
I cannot install another ROM as both the internal memory and SD card both show 0MB
I've plugged the SD card into my computer and there are still files on the card.
I've had a look online and found that typing in a command into the terminal should fix it, however nothing happens..
I get an error that mmcblk0p12 does not exist.
Code:
mke2fs /dev/block/mmcblk0p12
Any help would be great! Although i'm pretty sure it's bricked
Cheers Guys!
Chris

Did you have any success with this, Chris?
This sounds like what happened to my I9300 on CM12.1. It just froze and only rebooted to Samsung logo and stayed there.
When in TWRP recovery, there's just no access to internal memory or SD card.
The terminal mentions a lot of "E: unable to mount /data", /cache, /system, storage, etc
Most TWRP options fail to do anything, because of not being able to access partitions.
No factory reset, no wipes, no installing img's. When rebooting to system, it warns about no OS being installed.
Downloading a stock firmware now to see if it flashes via ODIN, but I don't have high hopes for it.
Does anybody know what would cause this? Or is it just bricked now?

Ah well, mine seems dead too. The recovery doesn't work anymore, only download mode, but ODIN can't get anything on it...
I think the main storage just died.

Damn, I dunno what happened.. My CM was a nightly though, SO I can only assume it was unstable.
Just bizarre how my phone rebooted and gave the message that it was unable to encrypt the device and needed to be factory reset.

I was running a quite stable CM12.1 version for a couple of months now. Only had two reboots all this time.

I had a few reboots when it was working, then it just suddenly bricked my phone
Sounds like the eMMC brickbug. You need to get the eMMC replaced. All of you that face the problems.
Well, after four years my S3 was getting very slow. It was bearable with CM, but I decided to say farewell now.
Also, my microphone was busted when I dropped it at some point, so I could only call with a headset anyway.
It's not worth replacing I think, time to move on
The same happened to my Beelink GT1 S912 9377 TV-box (after failed OTA update). Will check eMMC brickbug (from TWRP) ...
Hi everyone. I;m Edgard and I have a SGH-I317 Samsung.with DN3 ROM
First: I can not upload screen shots of the phone cause I don't have a way of taking pics.
This is the fourth day I'm searching on internet for a solution and nothing, that's why I'm asking here.
My phone worked fine. It rebooted by its self and got stucked with the Samsung Note 2 logo for ever.
So I rebooted to TWRP 3.0.2.0 and tried to do a Factory Reset
When its done it says:
(Top Legend)
Factory Reset Complete
Successful
(Bottom Legend)
Failed to mount '/efs' (invalid argument)
Failed to mount '/cache' (invalid argument)
Failed to mount '/system' (invalid argument)
Failed to mount '/data' (invalid argument)
...done
Unable to mount storage
If I go to Advanced Wipe and choose ANY of the options and do wiping, Repair or Change File System: I get the same Bottom Legends
If I try to flash stock rom with Odin, it says Write failure.
Tried using a PIT file downloaded here in XDA for SGH-I317 and get the same Write Failure
I tried flashing again DN3 with rom in sdcard and when I go te the sdcard root there's nothing and it is size is 0 (zero) bytes
All the folders I can see all say 0 bytes on the sdcard or phones memory say the same.
I didn't use ADB fastboot soft cause I don't know how to use it.
What I all see is that when I try to charde phones battery it gets stuck in the baterry with the grey circle logo but can't see it's charging.
I more details or info is needed please ask and I;ll try to anwser it.
If I can get camera I'll post pics of the screens I mentioned above.
Thank tou all in advanced for any kind of help
