[HELP!] I can't mount data.

In Clockwork Recovery:
I get an error saying "cant mount dev/block/mmcblk0p1 (file exists)" when I try to wipe, mount, or advance restore the data partition.
In RA:
it says invalid argument
Mount data in adb says:
"mounting /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 on /data failed: Invalid argument"
Is this a hardware problem with my memory.
I was useing CM 6.0.1 and the last thing i did was allow windows to format the internal memory when i plugged it it.
Will using an RUU help or brick?
Any help is appreciated.

Thanks for the help guys!
Anyways, I figured it out on my own. I was afraid of flashing an RUU when DATA cant be mounted, so i decided to restore the stock RECOVERY and turn S-ON so I could call Big Red and say their OTA jacked up my phone.
To do so, I downloaded a stock nandroid backup and started to advance restore the partitions I could (boot, system, cache). Just to see what happens I booted up the phone and to my surprise.. it worked properly. I still dont know what happened or why.
Oh, also , i used Amon Ra Recovery to format the internal storage before I started restoring via nandroid. Hope my little ordeal helps someone if they come across the same problem.

flashing questions but not what you think

I get the tuts and can probably follow them, but. I rooted my desire with unrevoked 3 without any major problems, downloaded titanium and backed up. But not sure about how it pans out. If i flash a rom will titanium be there to restore my apps and such wheb the new rom boots? or do i do it through recovery, how do i make sure i dont loose everything?

Titanium Backup saves backups on your sd card, so just flash and download titanium from the market and you will be fine

nice one cheers, any other snipets of info you think might come in handy?

Hi peeps sorry to butt in here but i'm having problems getting a ROM to flash.I'm in recovery and have factory wiped and cleared dalvic but when i choose to install zip from SD and choose Zip, the flash starts then aborts.Theres a couple of errors, goes something like this.
E:can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p2
(file exists)
deleting files
deleting files
copying files
E:can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p2
(file exists)
E:can't mount SDEXT
E:Failure at line 11
copy_dir PACKAGE:data SDEXT:
Instalation aborted.
Again sorry if its straight outta the blue but i thought i had got my head round it and then BOOM (wrong) lol.Any helps good help,thanx in advance

the rom you are trying to use needs a ext partition on the SD card.
if you dont have ext partition you need to make one. you can use rom manager from market to do this. But back up the sd card before trying this as it formats it, then you can move the data back.
check the site on my signature tells you how to make ext partition for apps2sd

I would normaly follow your advice but i dont get a boot of any kind.just hangs at splash screen so no market available.The only thing i can get to right now is recovery but not sure how to recover and everything i have tried seems to give me errors.My heads goin lol.

Anyone out there? lol.Just wondering how to create the ext partition using recovery so i can flash the ROM and how to restore the stock ROM (which i got before any of my problems started .Any helps good, right now i dont have a phone i can use and i'm pretty scuppered without one.Thanx

If you have amon-ra recovery, you can create it from the recovery. But I think you have clockwork, so you need to flash a stock rom to get your phone back
Or use a gparted live cd and put your SDcard in your pc and then make and ext3 partition.

Yes i have clockwork mod.I flashed it with a stock ROM then installed rom manager from marketplace to create the partition, then flashed the HD ROM.Probably the long way round for anyone who knows what they are doing but hey it worked .Thanx for your help, just gotta figure out now its working why it keeps re-starting

[Q] Cannot backup via nandroid

After I flashed this d2we (v1.5) rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=11860001 , I decided to upgrade my recovery through Rom Manager.
I succeeded, but I cannot nan backup with it.
I flash the update.zip, I start the backup, it gets stuck on "Backing up Data..." (although the bar is full), and after a long waiting it says
"Error in CACHE:recovery/log
(No space left on device)"
I don't know how much space is left in my internal memory, because I'm using d2we, but I think it's supposed to be empty due to the d2we. anyway, is it suppose to interrupt?
Maybe a wipe will help things up?
Thanks!

Recovery info? Phone info? Bootloader version?

CWM 2.5.0.7.
What do u mean by phone info? (if amoled/slcd then it's amoled)
Where can I find the Bootloader version? (is it the HBOOT? if so, then it's 0.75)
Thank you for trying to help!

Maybe your /cache partition is full. Try doing Wipe Cache in recovery.

Clear cache.
If it does not works from recovery, then can try fastboot or ADB.
But it should in 2.5.0.7.

Still the same after I wiped the cache.
Could it be that it says that the cache was wiped, but it actually wasn't?

Try it from fastboot with erase cache command: Guide here.
Just skip the first two and start form getting into fastboot.
It will need the HBoot USB drivers (the same used for Unrevoked).

It did finish the backup; however, now it says
E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p2
(File exists)
Could not mount sd-ext. sd-ext backup may not be supported on this device. Skipping backup of sd-ext.
Is it normal with d2we?
Anyway thank you very much, I can finally backup!

Can't restore TWRP /data backup

Hi,
Hope you guys can help me getting my data back.
I messed around with Substratum in legacy mode on OOS 4.1.0 and ended up with a bootloop (I never saw the boot animation restart, just looping endlessly). To fix, I tried the following things:
Flashed the SubstratumRecovery_legacy.zip in TWRP 3.1.0-0 without any effect.
Dirty-flashed OnePlus3Oxygen_16_OTA_047_all_1703132116_f7372e67 without any effect.
Flashed OnePlus3Oxygen_16_OTA_047_all_1703132116_f7372e67 through ADB sideload without any effect.
Wiped data partition in recovery. System started normally, all data gone (obviously).
Before wiping, I had made a backup of my /data partition (through TWRP backup tool for Mac) and saved the content of /sdcard on the computer as well.
Now when I try to restore the /data backup through the same tool, I get an error:
E:Unable to find file system (first period).
E:Unable to find file system (first period).
E:Unknown restore method for '/data'
ADB Restore failed.
So what can I do to restore my data partition? That's all I care about.
Thanks in advance

Mount data in twrp?..

ASFAIK, /data is mounted rw automatically by TWRP. It also doesn't make a difference.
Moreover, I also cannot restore my boot partition (kernel), same error.
A while ago I changed my filesystem to f2fs. Can that be the culprit?

Nevermind, I've given up and accepted the loss of data. However, it would still be interesting to find out what the problem was

I had the same problem, tried several times. Then I went back and turned of the md5 check and it worked perfect.

Do u still have ur trwp backup or did u delete it
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=53913623&postcount=22

I still have it on the computer and wouldn't mind making use of it (installed official Resurrection Remix after the data loss but that just wiped my /data partition after backing up kernel in TWRP)
@Bradl79: sounds interesting, will give that a go later when I have some time.
