Help, I have no idea what happened. I have a tab pro 10.1 t520. It's rooted with twrp recovery.
Today and game I tried to play kept crashing, so I rebooted into recovery and attempted to wipe the cache figuring might help. Well after it sat on that wipe screen for about 5 min it rebooted, got to the Samsung startup screen, and just hangs there. I'm able to boot into recovery, but now when I go to wipe I get a bunch of errors that it's unable to mount the /cache or the /data.
Help?! I have backups but it says i have 0mb internal storage and fails.
Nevermind got it back.
Bumping this to ask how you got it back? I've got the exact same issue produced almost the same way! Can't find any info on it except for other devices.
Hey I just restored my backup.
Ah crap I don't have one
Well, fixed it as described in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...help-e-unable-to-mount-data-recovery-t3149906
Leaving it incase someone else encounters the same problem and does not have a nandroid backup.
Make sure your recovery is the latest 2.8.7.0 for the future

Ok so I was running MIUI when my phone wouldn't mount my sd card to my laptop. I formatted my card, so it deleted all of my backups.
Now when I power on my phone it gets stuck at the white "htc incredible" screen.
I can get into recovery and have wiped, but I have no backups saved. I downloaded a rom and did a factory reset, flashed the rom, and it still gets stuck at the white screen.
What can I do to actually get my phone to boot?
EDIT:
I didn't notice this the first time, but I did a wipe factory reset again and this is what it says:
-- Wiping data...
Formatting DATA...
E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1
(File exists)
Error mounting /data/!
Skipping format...
Formatting DATADATA...
Formatting CACHE...
Formatting SDEXT...

Copy that PB31IMG file to the root of your SD card, you will be back at 2.2 stock. You can then re-root and go from there.
i agree with the above post, that should definately get you working.
An other thing you could try would be to reflash a kernel.
Sounds like you may not have a kernel to boot from, which is why its hanging at the white screen.
Thanks guys.. Yea, I had unrooted before and was hoping I wouldn't have to take it that far, but it was necessary this time and did the trick.
Thanks again.
Glad you got it working.
Another thing to note too, if you can see the HTC splash, you usually can fix the problem. It's when the phone doesn't turn on you should be worried about it being bricked.
Running MIUI, AmonRa. Phone was totally stable, today I was charging it and it refused to turn on. Pulled battery and when I turn on, its stuck on white htc Evo screen.
I can boot to recovery and see my old nandroid's and make a new one. I can S-OFF in recovery. Restoring the nandroid doesn't seem to help, its still stuck on white boot screen.
A few things to try:
1)Reboot to bootloader and select fastboot and reboot... have had this work before...
or
2)In recovery wipe everything then restore your nandroid.
or
3)Have a copy of the MIUI version you were on? In recovery, wipe system, then flash the ROM
LG optimus LTE WON"T BOOT
My Phone won't boot after try to install CWM. The touch buttons flash couples sec after press power but phone won't turn on. When i plugged in the computer, the computer recognize it but can't do restore. HELP PLEASE!!!
Ok I managed to debug this a little bit more.
Can get to recovery, but trying to restore nandroid's failed. I did this after wiping everything, doing a factory reset, and it still fails. When I tried to mount each partition individually, it failed to mount sd-ext with the error "can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 (File exists)".
I think this was the key, as I was using dta2sd on all my roms. Luckily I had another rom which was not using sd-ext, and I was able to restore that.
Is my sd-ext partition now lost? I can't check its status using the rom I have since it doesn't support sd-ext. Obviously all my apps were installed on it and I'd like to back them up.
The sd card itself seems fine, I can see everything on it.
I was actually going to post about this, thanks for doing it for me man.
Even with sense roms just restarting the phone will get me stuck at the htc evo 4g white screen and I have to wipe all data and factor reset just to get it to boot up again but i loose all my stuff and it really sucks. My phone only has recently started doing this, any ideas on what I can do to fix it?
I tried what imhereoldman said, but that just fixes it till the next time where it does the same thing after restarting the phone and im really getting tired of it :/

I just found this and it sounds like it will be a pain but should solve the issue trying it out now and il let you know how the unroot reroot goes...
You don't have to unroot. Just run the RUU for your phone.
Also, try to do a backup of your SD Card, reformat it (Sorry if you don't have a TB backup), repartition, then restore the backup and reflash the ROM after a thorough and complete wipe.
Thanks hipkat, I should have done more research on it, I did the un-root to. But I did run the RUU file and switched to AMON this time and it seems everything is cleared up and its running fine! thanks
OK, so I have been running DoomKernel on my R800x for ages now and tonight I decided to try out the TurboKernel:
See post # 1234 through 1241
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1817548&page=124
I flashed it and had some issues with GB, so I formatted Cache/data/system partitions as mentioned in CosmicDans FAQ. I then booted from recoveryPLAY.img wiped all three again then ftfd back to a stock VZ ftf. Then wiped all three again via recoveryPLAY, then reflashed DK. Only to find that I despite all the wiping, ftfing, and flashing that I can only restore system & data of my nandroid backup. If I restore cache I get an error of "not enough storage". This being despite the fact that I ftfd and had it clear/erase everything. I have even repaired my sd card via my pc...... still I get the same.
Can anyone offer any ideas/suggestions how to fix this cache partition error? I believe that Turbokernel resizes the cache partition.. but even doing all the above to restore it back its still the same.... any ideas? I hav espent 3 hours trying to repair this to no avail... and I am out of ideas.... thank you in advance.
One thing I forgot to mention is that when I attempt to restore my apps as half are missing from the system drawer TB loads but during restore process it just hangs... anyone have any ideas?
I just FTFd again and tried to restore my cache but it spit back as "error: cache/log/ not enough storage...

Anyone?!?!
OK< somehow I got it to restore the cache without any lack of storage issues, however now my sdcard wont mount when the phone is booted up. Any ideas how to get the card to mount on bootup?
nevermind...
Forgot to mention that yes I did go to the storage menu under settings, everything is greyed out excpet the safe unmount when battery cover is removed.
Flashed the latest stable Carbon rom yesterday and decided it wasn't for me so this morning I rebooted to TWRP and tried to run restore. The restore failed and the only error i see in the console is
Code:
E: error opening '/data/lost+found'
I went ahead and did the standard wipe (which also gave the same error, though it did not say failed) and rebooted, assuming it would just throw me back into carbon, but it got stuck in sort of a slow boot loop. I finally got back into recovery and now I'm at a bit of a loss. I saw only 2 suggestions, one being wipe /data and the other to flash back to stock with Odin. I'm not against wiping /data if someone could could either confirm that it would work or tell me if it's possible to backup some stuff from /data to my external sdcard or pc.
any advice would be appreciated, thanks
also sorry if this is the wrong place to post, I didn't see where else it would fit, says I can't post in the GS3 troubleshooting area.
ATT Galaxy S3
TWRP v2.6.0.0
fixed
Ok, I'm up and running again. I ended up formatting /data through twrp after I found out i could copy files over to external sd through its file manager.
so in case someone else runs into this:
assumes you have a twrp backup on the external sd
1. move important files with twrp's file manager to sd card
2. format /data
3. reboot recovery
3. standard wipe
4. restore backup from external
5. reboot system and cross fingers
So tonight I decided to wipe my tab pro 10.1 wifi (SM-T520) and flash the same ROM I've been using for ages (GraveDs 3.0). I just boot into recovery (TWRP 2.7.0.1) like I always have, start wiping everything except extSD. It hangs during wipe and automatically reboots into a bootloop. I get a mild heartattack and now my tab is bricked. I can still get into recovery but can basically do nothing in it because it can't mount data. At first it couldnt mount cache only, but now it can mount cache but not data.
Is there any manners of ways I can unbrick this? I've never really had any issues before
I've read somewhere that you can use the TWRP Terminal to manually format your partitions, but I wouldn't even know where to begin to find the commands that work with my specific tablet. I've been Googleing all day and can't find anything relevant to SM-T520 I also have no nandroid backup because idiocy.
Any help, anything at all, is greatly appreciated.
Fixed it by flashing newest version of TWRP (v2.8.7.0) using Odin 3.07, then I used the new feature under wipe in TWRP to format my data partition into a different file format then back to the original file format and it was finally mountable and flashable again. Thank the lord for that!
Glad to hear you fixed it quickly
