Personally I would backup the sd-card, format it, put the files back on, and install a fresh ROM.
Sounds like /data/data has a corrupt file.
Can you mount DATADATA in recovery, then on a PC, do a "adb shell ls /data/data" and get me an output?
The same thing happened to me its not fun. I tryed to do what g said, for me it didnt work but TRY his method first. I tryed a bunch of different things i flashed the ruu back to stock 2.1, erased sd and reformatted, reinstalled clockwork and some other things and still nothing. What i ended up doing was useing a different recovery i use ra now and i havint had any problems since.

Motorola Defy Market Issue

Hello!
I had 3.4.2 stock ROM on my Defy and everything worked well.
My mate tried to install the older 2.51 stock ROM, it failed.
I've successfuly instelled the 3.4.2 back, but unfortunately my market does not work. When I try to install an app, it go to a downloading loop.
"Downloading... Paused... Downloading... Download unsuccessful."
It is only 3 seconds.
I've tried to do these things:
Flashed 3 different kind of 3.4.2 - Market does not work.
Flashed with 2.3.3 latest Stock ROM - Market does not work.
I've tried to delete market cache files, tried with different google account.
If anyone could help, please reply!
Thank you!
Have you wiped data/factory reset, wiped cache and dalvik cache before flashing the back the 3.4.2?
Yes, I've tried, but is it normal tthat in CWM Recovery cant mount things:
E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk1p24
(invalid argument)
E:Can't mount CACHE: recovery/command
E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk1p24
E:Can't mount CACHE:recovery/log
E:Can't open CACHE:recovery/log
E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk1p24
When I try to wipe everything the same lines appear, but it says Wipe done!.
Here are the lines:
-- Wiping data...
Formatting DATA: ...
Formatting CACHE:...
E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk1p24
Error mounting /cache/!
Skipping format...
Formatting SDEXT:...
No app2sd partition found. Skipping format of /sd-ext.
Formatting SDCARD:/.android_secure...
Data wipe complete.
E:Can't mount CACHE:recovery/log
E:Can't open CACHE:recovery/log
E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk1p24
It's pretty annoying.

TWRP: "E:failed to mount /sdcard (Invalid argument)"

I formatted my Kindle Fire using my Mac computer as a Mac OS Extended (Journaled) drive. Unfortunately, when I tried installing a ROM on my Kindle, it did not succeed. So, I wiped the cache, Dalvik cache, and system (oops), and performed a factory reset. However, when I attempted to wipe the external storage, it Failed. The error message stated:
Code:
E:failed to mount /sdcard (Invalid Argument)
E:tw_format_rmfr: failed to mount "/sdcard"
* Verifying filesystems...
* Verifying partition sizes...
E:Unable to mount '/sdcard' (tw_mount)
E:Unable to mount '/sdcard' (tw_mount)
E:failed to mount /sdcard (Invalid Argument)
E:failed to mount /sdcard (Invalid Argument)
E:failed to mount /sdcard (Invalid Argument)
Additionally, the Kindle Fire has no OS installed (since I wiped to system), and the ADB shell does not recognize my device. Any ideas on what to do? Thanks to anyone who responds!

Boot freeze and partitions lost

Hi,
my german N7100 one sad day rebooted just to the Samsung logo and froze.
After some research i found Heimdall and jOdin and managed to flash TWRP 3.3.1-0 as recovery.
Booted into that, looked around and found on tapping the menu icon:
Code:
Failed to mount '/cache' (Invalid argument)
E:primary block device '/dev/block/mmcblk0p16' for mount point /data is not present!
Failed to mount '/data' (Invalid argument)
Unable to recreate /data/media folder.
Updating partition details...
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
Failed to mount '/data' (Invalid argument)
Full SELinux support is present
E:
Unable to mount /data/media/TWRP/.twrps
MTP Enabled
ADB was and is enabled.
Flashing a stock ROM with jOdin first complained about a missing PIT file, then proceeded getting one from the phone, then did the flashing and reported PASS.
Didn't change a thing, though, the phone still didn't boot further, and TWRP reported the same as before.
adb shell
works and i looked around in the phone; i found
/dev/block/mmcblk0
and
/dev/block/mmcblk0p1,
both readable by less, but no other mmcblk* were there.
The phone has a MicroSD card inserted, which isn't listed in /dev or /dev/block, although TWRP can write the system logs "successfully" to it.
Right now, i can't check the contents without a MicroSD adapter.
I looked around here and found nothing quite similar, therefore this new thread.
Help, please?
