I was copying my SD Card to my computer. At some point I forgot I was transferring files and disconnected the usb cable. I reconnected the cable and all seemed right. So I continued on and rebooted my phone.
After a few minutes I noticed the green notification light blinking and assumed I had a text or mail. When I hit the power button on top to wake the phone the screen never came on. I pulled the battery and tried to reboot the phone. It would just vibrate 5 times and the screen would stay blank. So i tried recovery and it would work only with the USB cord plugged in. But it wouldn't do a nandroid backup or even see the sdcard.
when in recovery I get the error E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk1p1 (or /dev/block/mmcblk1)
I tried getting a adb shell but it says no device connected
I tried using fastboot flash boot boot.img and fastboot flash system system.img
they would error with FAILED (remote: signature verify fail)
anyone have any suggestions?
oh in windows device manager it say ADB bootloader only when I am in HBOOT when in fastboot it says nothing but since it did push the system image I assume it does work.
if i go into recovery though (Windows7 Enterprise 32bit) it asks for a Qualcomm CDMA driver real quick(2 seconds) then goes to Unknown Device

Sounds like you corrupted a partition or two. Just get an RUU PB31IMG.zip, copy it your card (you may have to take it out and fix it in windows first), and let bootloader see it. There are ways to manually NANDroid your phone in ADB/Recovery, but it doesn't sound like you want to go that deep nor do I know how to tell you to do it from the command line.
Good luck!
Thanks for the reply. The phone will not mount or see the SD Card. I put the sd card in my storm and it formatted it I put it into the Incredible but it still will not mount the SD Card.
I did go to the verizon store and my hopes where they had some way to format the partitions and force the OS on it. The guy looked at the phone and said we dont have a recovery console for the Incredible so I will have a new one sent to you probably will be Tuesday.
I thought the Dallas Cowboys boot screen and fastboot screen would tell him something wasnt right but he didnt know or he didnt care. I also thought it was odd he gave me the phone back. Shouldnt he have kept it to send back in?
I have ran into the same issue. Basically my phone was bootlooping after a bad rom install(my guess). Then when I tried my nandroid recovery backup, I got to this black screen and the phone would vibrate 5 times! I have never had this issue before.
I have tried various RUU PB31IMG.zip's to flash back to a stable system and nothing works. I have noticed after flashing different RUU images(stock 2.2, stock 2.1), the phone will either vibrate 3, 4 or 5 times. I believe these could be error code messages of some kind.
Has anyone else gotten this black screen, and the 5 vibrations????? This seems like it should be called the black screen of death because it honestly makes me want pull my hair out in frustration! Any knowledge would be greatly appreciated. thanks.
google this error: E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk1p1 and there should be a link to a cyanogen forums thread and a link to an xda thread. those two will contain the information necessary to repartition your internal storage so you can boot into the OS again

I got the 5 vibration deal when I was trying to boot into recovery.....but was pressing volume up/power, instead of vol down/power......the 5 vibrations are a Qualcomm diagnostic test.

I had googled that before making this post, nothing I found had helped me. I cannot say, for sure, that I found the post you are referring to though. I did finally manage to get the system to see the sdcard and PB31IMG.zip. I took the rom.zip from the Froyo RUU and I renamed it pb31img.zip. It went through and flashed everything but still nothing. When I later tried to do the same thing with the rom.zip from the 2.1 RUU the system said that it was an older version and would not flash it. So this seems to me that the flash went OK. Its like the main OS partition isn't bootable or something the system knows the OS is there it just cannot boot to it.
You said it. The main partition is corrupt, I will try and find the link to the thread about how to restore it just give me a second.
Here is the link Talk to Ciwrl; he is a very smart person when it comes to these problems.

I trashed my internal partitions yesterday and used this method to fix it.....had to end up un-rooting and starting over after I got the partitions back in order....but it did fix the problem.

Thanks a lot. I will work on it after work tonight.
Hey everyone. I know there are already a few threads with boot loop animations, and am having difficulties finding the same situation as what I'm going through. Here is what the phone used to have before it randomly started looping:
Rooted - with Stock rom, using ClockwordMod Recovery 5.5.0.2
Used Go Launcher Theme ( if that even matters )
No additional roms installed or anything, the phone is 3 months old.
Ok here is where I'm stuck. I understand I should reflash somethings like recovery image or something, but I'm stuck with one big problem. My computer and phone don't recognize using the USB mount.
The message I get is called "Unable to open lunfile ( no such file or directory)
Here's what screens I can get to:
1. Hold vol up/down while holding power ( the little android with its belly open, and the options Start - Restart Bootloader - Recovery mode - Power Off )
2. Hold vol down - ODIN mode, with the START option only
I can access WMD recovery and factory reset, Try to install my old backup, nothing works at all in that area, no matter what I do.
Can someone advise me a step by step way of getting my computer to recognize my phone, so that I am able to do fastboot, or reflash, or anything to get my phone working again. I can't access my internal memory at all.
It's even possible that I've read too much, and my frustration is getting in the way, if so I apologize! Some guidance would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance of course! I need my phone for business!
Cheers,
Install the drivers on a computer then use fastboot oem unlock. Or just factory reset it from within recovery.

Try my siggy.
I'm not sure about the exact error:
But the link there will get you the correct drivers.
Also, as stated...try to factory reset.
You'll lose your apps/data that way though =/
Hopefully you can get the driver installed and get your computer to recognize.
If so, follow this to back up your apps:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1420351
Have exactly the same setup as you (rooted/stock/CWM) and had the animation bootloop - animation would just loop until a battery pull.
Only thing that solved it was a factory reset from recovery. Been working fine for the 4 weeks since. No need for any reflashing etc. Titanium recoveries have all worked fine as well. Didn't try my Nandroid backup as I thought that may still have the 'fault' built in.
I had a boot loop for every from I tried to flash...wat fixed it was before flashing u need to wipe system data and wipe the cache in the recovery...ie a clean install...then every rom I tried worked...so I think ur missing that crucial step coz it worked for me

Hey guys, as stated above I've done numerous factory resets, it still seems to boot. I will for sure try to get the drivers installed so my phone is recongised by the computer, but would need step-by-step assistance when doing fastboot, or whatever the next step is.
Looking for more help though! Keep em coming!
?
Any other ideas?
Thanks!
Ok guys, so here's where I'm at now. I've used Jubakuba's sticky link, located here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1529058
Everything is able to be recognized up to the point where it says "Put the su.zip on your phone."
Since I cannot access my phone contents, since I keep getting this "Unable to open lunfile ( no such file or directory), it does not allow me to add anything to my phone.
I re-installed CWD as stated in the list of things to do, and all that went well. But I have the same issue, I tried factory resetting all that. erase cache, and still stuck with the same issue.
What's my next step now peeps? Looking for a quick answer as I have time to do it tonight!
Edit***
Just tried this trick: but it says it does not recognize the device?? what is going on! Please help someone! Thanks!
Panic Section! (Something is Wrong)
Q: My phone won't boot!
A: The easiest option is to get into recovery and restore a nandroid using the above guide (pull battery to put phone in an off-state if needed).
However, more advanced options are available if you don't have a nandroid available (You're naughty).
Do you have another rom .zip available on your SD card? If so, simply use the above guide for installing a rom to get you booting again.
If not, you can download one on your PC. Boot into fastboot (the green Android with open chest menu).
Move the .zip to the C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools folder.
Open ADB.
Change the NAMEOFZIP.zip below to the correct file name...and perform the action.
Surely your computer recognizes your phone. Otherwise how were you able to unlock the bootloader and flash the recovery?
And I've never seen that error message before. It doesn't even make any sense to me. Where are you seeing it? On your phone or on your computer? And in what context? What are you trying to do when it shows up?
If your phone isn't booting I'm not sure that you can copy any files to it yet. (Maybe you can use adb in clockworkmod? I'm not sure) What I do know you can do is flash the stock ROM and start over.
Download the image from Google here:

Here's a instructions for the GSM version:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1366806
For the Verizon version, I can't find the thread at the moment but you just replace the filenames and also there's 2 radios to flash so:
fastboot flash radio *filename*
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash radio-cmda *filename*
"Unable to open lunfile ( no such file or directory) appears on the phone, in CWD mode, when trying to attempt "mount Usb" to be able to access my internal storage .
I am attempting your thoughts right now.
I will post with results
Ok I tried to do this step. This is the outcome I received on the computer after even typing the first step:
'fastboot-windows' is not recognized as aninternal or external command, operable program or batch file.
A thing to stress, I'm not sure how to do step 1: 1) Take a Nandroid Backup if you have CWM installed.
EDIT***
GREAT NEWS!
used this setup!

Thank you everyone! Going to play with my phone and make sure it all works!

the problem is when that happen?? when ur phone is booted and u plug the usb cable to ur pc? or when u are under recovery and want mount the usb mass storage? the second one doesn't work
I just got a note 2 (i317m - canadian carrier model) that got messed up some how. When attempted to boot the phone it said unable to mount efs partition. My research tells me that partition that contains module info such as IMEI, bluetooth, wifi are stored in that partition. Now I realize why the repair guy wanted $350 to fix it.
Is there a way I can tackle this problem on my own and try and fix it? Apparently there is a tool here in XDA that can wipe the partition but I am not sure if that would rebuild it and allow me to mount it so I can create a new data file with the IMEI number in it.
Where should I start to attempt to fix the problem.
Please note, I can still access recovery (currently TWRP installed) and download mode and use ODIN if necessary to flash back a stock rom BUT can't mount to the computer for any file transfers nor can I boot the android device (stays at samsung logo). I have no issue using ADB is neccessary if I am lead in the right direction. This phone is already trashed in the eyes of the owner so its basically a little project for me to tackle when i have time to kill.

Have you tried flashing your official rom? Flash your official firmware by downloading it from sampro.pl or sammobile.com, flash it with PC Odin under PDA tab.
After you done, don't let reboot your phone, goto recovery by pressing vol up+ menu key then power key(continuously hold it until your phone restarts might be 4~8 secs.) Then check 'Wipe Cache Partition', and then reboot phone.
Yup and nothing worked.
Anyone?
So the only solution is a $300 fix?
Hi there, I recently bought an used unlocked LG G PRO E988 (made in korea) version. I rooted it. I tried to flash a custom rom but got stuck in boot loop with a security warning saying "SECURE booting ERROR!! Cause: boot certification verify" But while booting if I kept the volume up and power botton pressed it would give me "SECURE booting ERROR!! Device is unlocked so booting success" , However i could not get into the download mode no matter which ever key combination i tried. Finally pressing the volume up ,home key and power botton at the same time while putting back the battery on i ran into recovery mode and flashed a new rom "sphinx" and it was working fine, though I kept getting the "SECURE booting ERROR!! Device is unlocked so booting success" while booting up. I installed the Philz touch recovery while installing sphinx rom but day before yesterday I wanted to install the default cwm recovery and flash sphinx again with less apps,so from the recovery mode i wiped dev cache,wiped cache partion (and i think i wiped data/factory reset as well ) installed the sphinx rom again and rebooted from sphinx installation screen where i need to check a sqaure box to reboot. but my phone got stuck in boot loop again and with the same security warning "SECURE booting ERROR!! Cause: boot certification verify" but this time pressing the volume up and power button while connecting usb or putting back the battery didn't change the security warning to "SECURE booting ERROR!! Device is unlocked so booting success" neither could i get into my recovery mode. And i have always failed to log into download mode. I read almost all the threads about how to get into g pro download mode but never succeed. The only screen i was getting besides "hard reset" and "boot logo with security warning" was a screen with this message "Recovery mode,Using this mode, service center can back up and recover your data. Press and hold the POWER key more than 8 seconds to reboot and continue using phone." which would eventually take me to the boot loop again if i kept pressing the power button. sigh ! And at this point my phone was not being detected by my pc. I tried "[GUIDE] Optimus G Pro Full Hard Brick fix" by ricanares, but i couldnt get to download mode so the process failed for me After searching for hours and reading tutorials i found out about pdanet drivers and mtk droid tools. which finally detected my phone in pc only when the creen " Recovery mode,Using this mode, service center can back up and recover your data. Press and hold the POWER key more than 8 seconds to reboot and continue using phone." appears. Using mtk droid tools i tried to use a boot image (from an extracted .tot file)and recovery(from same .tot file) but i was getting an error saying no split boot image found.Tried using extracting a .tot file and sideloading the recovery.bin and boot.bin .Tried pushin and sideloading cusom recovery.apk files and all efforts in vein. For any files i send using sideload my phone shows an error "E:footer is wrong ; E: signature verification failed" Using mtk droid tools i could enter into a recovery mode but i dont think it is the cwm recovery mode. it has fewer options. I am so lost at this point ! I need some expert help ...
Things working
1. Boots into stock recovery using mtk tools.
2. Pc recognizes device as LG Android net phone
3.Mtk tools recognizes the device as LG E988
4.Can use adb sideload options to send files to phone in recovery mode (but phone outputs error as 1st attached image )
5.In recovery mode I can see and go into /cache folder using update from cache option.but theres nothing there
THINGS NOT WORKING
1.Doesnt Boot into recovery mode using physical buttons
2.Doesnt Boot into download mode
3.Cant get into fastboot mode with adb commands
4.Doesnt mount sd card .(tried formatting sd card with sdformatter)
5.Don't have a proper backup of my phone.
6.Can't extract downloaded .kdz files to get the boot.img and recovery.img files (tried using lg p970 rom converter, optimus L9 image extractor and lg extract)
HELP
1) Does anyone have extracted .kdz for e988 that has split boot image ?
2)How can i fix E:failed to mount /sdcard error.
3)How do i get to download mode in e988 ? is it possible that i deleted the mode ?

"However i could not get into the download mode no matter which ever key combination i tried."
Have you tried:
1) remove battery
2) hold down both volume buttons and power button
3) insert power cord while keeping buttons held down
4) download mode is yours to cherish??
And for once you get into download mode: your KDZ! (or more here)
From there to go here and do more things. Things cannot be left undone. They hate that.
" SECURE booting ERROR!! Device is unlocked so booting success"
This is normal once you install a custom recovery. As long as your phone works, ignore.

Thanks for your response. Yes i tried that but didn't work. I tried with and without battery both. actually tried numerous times.Only the soft keys keep flashing and nothing else happen. But i will give it a shot again. Plus the secure booting error has changed to "SECURE booting ERROR!! Cause: boot certification verify"-- is it just because I am back to stock recovery ? If only i could get into download mode life would have been a lot easier !! (finger crossed)

Still boned? The LG Support Tool worked for me once, when I was in a similar situation way back last month when I first began smartphoning.
I was in this *exact* same situation after trying to flash my first ROMs and recovery stuff, but I don't remember how I got out of it. :| ACk!
Yupp still stuck . Will try again later tonigh. Didn't get a chance to sit with it the whole day. Hoping for the best !!

Oh! One thing to remember: always plug your USB cable directly into your computers motherboard USB ports, and avoid plugging into USB hub ports (like via a monitor or keyboard). If a desktop: that also means don't use the ports on your computer system. always use the rear ports that plug directly into your motherboard.
(A couple of times I was able to flash a stock TOT/KDZ via the USB hub on my monitor, but that is not a feat that is repeatable for me.)
This makes *all* the difference for me.

The Why: You can't flash that via the stock recovery. You need to use FreeGee to flash CWM or TWRP.
You can get your system into stock recovery: this is good! Does ADB recognize? If not check Windows drivers. If ADB recognizes it, and you can 'adb shell' into it, maybe I could walk you into rooting and installing a custom recovery via the shell?
1) If not already, have ADB at hand. It is your best friend.

Dude, you are so in the wrong program:
LG Flash Tool 1.8 -- this is what handles your TOTs.
Err, wait, you're on E988? Nevermind, no TOTs for you. I've only flashed KDZ a few times, and I don't recall off hand. :| I think it was this one that worked for me: here.

You can get your system into stock recovery: this is good! Does ADB recognize? If not check Windows drivers. If ADB recognizes it, and you can 'adb shell' into it, maybe I could walk you into rooting and installing a custom recovery via the shell?
Yes I can actually get into shell using adb. and my device is recognized as an adb device in device manager. If u can walk me into rooting through adb that would be awesome. specially if i could install a cusom recovery. I spent a bit of time yesterday looking into the files in my phone through adb. tried to change the default.prop file , and push in a custom recovery, but no luck. and i could be wrong but I think for some reason my internal storage (/sdcard) is not being mounted.and same for my external sd card.
But i highly appreciate your response dear Thanks alot for looking into it.

Dude, you are so in the wrong program:
LG Flash Tool 1.8 -- this is what handles your TOTs.
Err, wait, you're on E988? Nevermind, no TOTs for you. I've only flashed KDZ a few times, and I don't recall off hand. :| I think it was this one that worked for me: here.

1) If not already, have ADB at hand. It is your best friend.

Hello,
I'm a bit lost, here is my problem:
I have an international LG G3, I switched to LineageOS from official ROM 10 days ago. Everything was working fine, until yesterday when at some point, whithout doing anything special, my phone froze as I hit the Home button.
It froze for quite some time, so I removed the battery and now I have the pleasure, each time that I start the phone to see the great LG logo that doesn't move...
My phone isn't root (didn't install the su addon) and though I can boot in TWRP recovery mode, I don't see any file and all my reboot options mention "No OS".
I tried to sideload lineage to flash the new version but it doesn't work, push neither (and I have no SD - it kept unmounting itself).
I tried to connect with LGUP to go stock, but I guess since it's not root, it isn't recognized, and I don't know how to root it as I can't access it.
So here I am, stuck, without much idea of what to do next, I would be thankful if someone knew how to fix this issue one way or the other!
EDIT: Any try to solve the issue failed as I get the same prompt : Failed to mount /xxxx, or : Unable to mount storage.
Thanks in advance!
I had the same situation like you. Your data got corrupted. There's no way to actually restore your files, at least I couldn't do that with help of my mates. All you need to do is eject your SDCard, wipe every partition and:
repeat all steps for /system, /data and /cache - select only one partition, click on Repair or Change File System and these click on Repair File System then Change File System to F2FS and immediately change it back to ext4 and Repair File System once again.
And then wipe every partition once again.
If you need more help, message me on telegram.

Hello and thanks for your message,
I tried your procedure but for each partition, I get a bunch of "Failed to mount", "Unable to wipe", "Unable to repair".
I don't care about the data, all I want is to have my phone running, I tried to "Format Data" within TWRP, doesn't work either.

have you tried restoring to Stock ROM using LG Flash Tool? as far as I know it resets all partitions so that might be the fix for you
please try once again with this TWRP: https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/development/recovery-twrp-3-0-0-0-t3309475
maybe just try [Change File System] to ext4 again? It helped me with my data corruption

Yes, I tried with LG Flash Tool, it's the same as LGUP, in both case my phone isn't recognized (I can see my phone on my computer but it contains nothing).
I can't install this TWRP, first technique I can't find the file in my folders (though I could push it with adb), second i can't do "su".
(with the current TWRP - 3.1.1.1 - I can't change the file system)
if you have sdcard, you can put the file here and then flash recovery.img via recovery

I could now get adb to push the img on data and sdcard, but when I try to install I can't find any partition and the process fail as no partition is specified.
I did the push in recovery mode and could find the files, but when I reboot in recovery mode again, I can't find them anymore.

it won't save any data, because partitions are corrupted do this won't work for sure

When I try to flash the recovery img, i get "No partitions selected for flashing.", and in the previous sreen where it ask for the partition, I can't pick anything as the list is empty.

I tried again to FLash it with the tool, no success.
In device manager I don't see the phone, all I see on the port COM is : Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 (COM3), so I guess that's why it never find the phone, anything I can do ?

Thanks for your help,
I tried the 9008 method but it didn't work, I have now som "Kernel crash" error that I don't know how to fix and the the only thing I can do is to access some sort of Download mode (where my screen is black, not with "Firmware Update" written, so the LG Flash Tool doesn't recognize it to flash a rom).

it's probably fastboot mode, what's shown in device manager in windows?

Now I managed to flash something with this qualcomm utility (firmware files extracted from 30B KDZ, all other from 10 version were not responding) and I can have access to either:
- "Firmware Update" screen in DL mode, though I can't flash any stock ROM I found (I tried several DLL and TOT, I get "Model check fail" or some issue with the LAF: my guess is that it may be due to the fact that the recovery I managed to put is 30B and the the TOT I have is 10B so something doesn't work?);
- and on recovery mode I can access to Fastboot mode, but a not very efficient one as for some reason whenever I give a fastboot command it do much, the command run on the computer, then I get the output ". . ." in the command line, and the terminal stay in this state doing nothing...

From the device manager I either can see my phone as LG phone in DL mode, or just as some unknown device in fastboot mode.

You probably missed some steps, with flashing all the partitions, you must flash them in given order, and you must use the same kdz, 10e...try it again from scratch.
Mine g3 is still fully functional, so it's worth a try.
yeah, my phone did fully recover too. where you did you get your stock files? maybe you downloaded wrong files? I mean they're corrupted or something

Yes I followed the order, and finished with sbl1,
Now I can't do it again, I can't connect with the software as my phone is no longer 9008, so I have no idea what to do
