hi i have a major issue this morning i flashed the dark one viper theme on my m8 i am rooted soff after it installed i hit the reboot button but when it rebooted it hung at boot screen so i hard rebooted and went to recovery which is philz recovery i then wiped cache and dalvic and rebooted but it still got stuck at the boot screen so i reentered recovery it took longer to load than usual and i was greeted with this message at the bottom of the screen
E: could not mount /data to setup /data/media path i tried to restore my nandroid backup but it failed at the data partion i also restored recover settings to default just incase id accidently pressed something i shouldnt have as the touchscreen is quite sensitive but nothing has worked does anybody know how i can fix this issue please i really need my phone any advise on this would be most appreciated thank you
Try to reflash recovery and see if it fixes the mounting problem. If it does restore your nandroid
Edit: or first try to wipe /data, /system, /cache and dalvik and then restore nandroid
thanks
thank you ill give it a try is this a common issue then its had me worried
You're telling that you are rootet. But are you also running the Viper ROM.? Guess you do as you flashed a corresponding theme.
If not the problem could be cause by flashing a Viper theme on a ROM not intended to work with it .

tried wiping data system ect. but its says error mounting data formatting system worked i also tried installing the rom but its says cant mount sd card format cache didnt work either
now when i power down from recovery it says apply root this is getting worse
Are you using twrp? Try to fix permissions. If it doesn't work maybe for some reason you lost root? Try to reflash supersu maybe?
atm im using philz but i was advised to wipe system ,data , and caches and now i have no sofware on the phone and i cant install anything as it cant mount data partion or internal sd card im not sure what to do someone has said to do a full wipe flash via sneakyghosts thread but im kind of lost and i have no idea what i need to do
Philz has fix permissions as well I think. Try it first...or as I suggested try to reflash supersu maybe you lost root
i cant find fix perms anywhere i flashed supersu but im still getting the error thanks but still nothing working
i started to flash viper rom again it failed but it seems to have fixed the su problem but i still cant acess internal sd card or data partition any ides please would be apreciated thanks
Can you try to reflash Philz?
If you have no success can you try and flash TWRP and see if it makes any difference? I'm just trying to eliminate all variables.

thank you im going to have to find them as i sent my phone to a shop to rooted but im sure that wont be too hard
ok got philz from its op as i already made a post in there i will trh that and get back to you thanks
Flash all the things!
i have reflashed philz and it still isnt reading internal sd or my data partition
edit same problem with twrp i tried fixing perms but it failed at data partion
I have your solution ?
Why?
Because I had exact same problem as you have now.
I'm on venom rom. Flashed 2.0.0 rom had not updated firmware however.
After flashing theme Viper dark I got very, very, very long boot time.
After 15 mins or so I hard "button rebooted" device. Resulting in data block being totally corrupted.
As your virtual SD card is a partition on /Data, and data is totally corrupted you won't see or be able to mount your SD card too.
Reflashing recovery, rom or whatever won't help /data stays corrupt.
Now the best part....
I got the tools for you to make your data block fine again, so it again can be mounted and you can see and use the internal sdcard.
You will of course loose anything on the data and virtual sdcard so you must flash a rom after fixing data.
Tools are on my pc, and I'm on my phone right now so I will upload it later and give you link and instructions.
That is if you still have this problem.

Hello,
I think i need some help here....
I have flashed dozens of roms and have not had any problems but i have just tried another there going from LeeDroid to AuraxTSense and now my phone either goes in a boot loop or freezes.
I can get into recovery and have wiped everything and tried to recover my nanadroid backup but it still freezes at bootscreen or loops.
I noticed at the end of the nandroid restore it said MD5 Mismatch.
Can anyone help me out here?
Cheers.
I had the same problem a few weeks ago. The problem came from my sdcard.
After installing a rom try booting without the sdcard/with an other sdcard. You can also try to format the sdcard on your computeur (sd-ext included).
You could also run a logcat when stuck/bootloop, this will give u more information.
Hope this help

i seem to be having the same problems, other sdcard did not help though
Trying to go back to some older ROMS to get another kernel..
EDIT: a little summary:
wiped everything, partitioned the SD card (tried with swap, without swap, with ext3 and ext4 partititons)
-tried both 32.44.00.32U_5.09.05.30_2 and 32.48.00.32U_5.11.05.14 radios
-tried switching back to 7.8.1 (worked) and than to 7.9 again (didn't work)
-with 7.8.1 tried to flash the OC kernel alone (didn't work)
What does didn't work mean:
White HTC BootScreen Loop maybe 10 times .. than just stays there (tried to wait for 2 hours - still nothing)
HBOOT version 0.80
Flashing with Clockworkmod Recovery using ADB (maybe i could try a newer one.... any links plz? couldn't google it down)
T-Mobile HTC Desire - unbranded and rooted
16GB Class 2 Kingston SD
The problem came from your sdcard.
You dont need to change the sdcard.
Take it out, format on your computer (use usb format tool maybe better), copy your ROM to sdcard, install it.

Are you sure about that ? Bcs i don't have an SDCard reader now - would have to buy one ...

Nope any ROM with an overclocked kernel does not work for me - it only boot loops and than freezes at the white htc boot screen.
Wiping didn't help - look up - tried nearly everything....
Sometimes Clockworkmod doesn't format the sdcard properly.
Same problem happenned to some people trying to flash Sense HD rom and getting bootloop.
You can try with adb in recovery :
cd /sd-ext
rm -r *

I have this problem too. And in my opinion - sd card not a reason of phone freeze and reboot. I think here is a problem with kernel. I change 2 sd cards, a lot of rom's and problem did;nt dissapears. After, I flash unroot rom - phone was dead. Now I waiting for the phone , when they will return me from a service. So I think the problem is on kernel, not ROM.
Thanks for the replies.
I formated my card but the only rom that seems to be working for me is Leedroids, nandroid restore is still not working with other backups i saved on my PC.

Did You formatted your EXT3 too ?
"Enter to recovery, do a Wipe Factory reset, Wipe Cache, Wipe Dalvik, format/wipe partition Ext2, 3 or 4."
really seems like some kernels are not compatible with OUR phones ... are your phones branded too ? (unbranded now - my was T-Mobile)
Another question- i've been trying cyanogenmod now - it boots, but repeatedly freezes - can you gyus please try it too ?
thx

tried everything...
Moved to Q&A as not development.
Please do not make a new thread in development to ask a question.
Seems I am able to only flash my last working rom (no matter if 7.7 or 7.8.1 AuraxTsense) ... others don't work...
really weird
unrooting and trying to root again...
So maybe the real question should be - We can't I flash another kernel - please check it too - we than need to create another thread !
P.S. I'm unrooting now and will try to root again than...
So my phone now will only reboot up to the HTC Incredible white screen. I'm not even sure what the issue is, all i did last before it got stuck was erase data on an old sd card i had in the phone. Then I just did a reboot and it froze on the white screen.
I'm running GB evervolv 2.3.2 with 2.6.37.4 incredikernel.
I can get into HBOOT but when i click on recovery it takes me into fastboot everytime.
What can i do to fix this????
Sorry please move this thread to the Q&A section, i thought that's where I was posting it, my bad.
Go to the Clockwork Recovery thread and download the update for a different version and try getting that to flash via bootloader. That way you can at least get into recovery if you need to flash new. Just to clear it up, did you use your phone to delete stuff off the old card, by using Astro or ES file explorer? I know ES file explorer has root access so is there a chance you could've deleted a system file on accident? All it takes is a click of the SD card icon and you're in root instead of SDcard. Also this is probably a thread more for the Q&A subforum, just an fyi
i deleted an old sd card that i don't even use for my phone, i was just putting it in there to clear out whatever was left on it. so i could use it new.
And it still bootloops even when you put your normal SD card back in?
yup, i dunno what it's deal is.
I remember an older version of cm7 on the nook color warned against formating sd cards because it accidentaly formats the boot partition, this may be a bug that exists in the rom your using.
at least you can get into hboot, you should be able to download ruu image and flash it in hboot. this would get you back to stock, then root and install clockwork, and then restore your latest nandroid.
Flash this recovery in hboot
http://downloads.unrevoked.com/forever/recovery/clockworkmod/PB31IMG.ZIP
It should at least give you a working recovery.
i have to rename things as update.zip in order for hboot to flash them right??

NO leave it PB31IMG.ZIP.
hboot can only see that name. if you rename it hboot will not see it at all.
also make sure your card is formatted as FAT32
got it into recovery so i'm just wiping and restoring, thanks for the help!
ok now i'm getting a bootloop on the cm7 boot screen...i just went to flash that new instead of my nandroid because the nandroid was from an older rom.
Did you wipe everything? Davik, Cache, Data, etc?
wiped data and cache...didn't do davik because i've never had to in the past. but i'll give it a try.
would i need to update CMW from version 2.0+ to 3 in order for cm7 to work? because it's still bootlooping
THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT JUST HAPPENED TO ME!
i was on MIUI 1.3.25 (the newest GB release) and i was formatting an sd card and when i restarted my phone i got stuck at the splash screen! i have been able to boot back into cwm recovery but even when i wipe and flash, nothing works.
i booted into recovery and tried to restart from there - failed
i reflashed 3.18 (wiped cache/dalvik) - failed
i wiped all data and reflashed 3.18 - failed
wiped all, flashed 3.25, fixed permissions - stuck at splash screen again
restored an old MIUI (v1.1.15) - stuck at splash screen
pleaseee let me know if you figure this out
edit:
i ran the RUU and got stock to start working. i'm about to root and try flashing something

Are you getting errors when you wipe?like when you wipe data does it say error can't mount or anything like that.... I have a feeling you may have to flash an Ruu and then reroot

no, no errors. but i flashed the RUU and rerooted and everything works just fine. I flashed MIUI again and it worked perfect
thanks!

I always mount my sdcard in a linux and format/fix/repartion, or at least let Clockwork Recovery do it. I have never found a Sense, Vanilla, or AOSP ROM that handled SD partition operations very well, without at least a little tragedy.

This tends to be things go as far as ROMs partitioning my sd, always back it up externally and format/partition before transferring stuck back over to it while in phone.
Was running SlimRom stable 7.8 and wanted to try out the Beta3. Wiped Dalvik Cache and Cache and installed on top. Booted fine, moved some files around and rebooted. Bootlooped once and got stuck on the Samsung screen. Pulled battery, booted into TWRP and wiped everything to restore the backup I made before all of this happened. It wipes, restores system and fails on /data. Can't wipe /data or internal storage because it is "Unable to Mount." No matter what I do I cannot mount, modify or access my internal storage and cannot delete or install anything to /data.
Googled and checked these forums half-hazardly for a solution but can't find anything specific to this phone. What happened to my internal storage? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Obviously the battery pull was where things went wrong, I'm just wondering if it's fixable. I can still boot into TWRP no problem and I successfully sideloaded an updated version of TWRP thinking that might help. Thanks in advance
Also, here is the recovery log I pulled right after I tried all of the above-
http://tinyw.in/3asR
I tried sideloading a ROM as well. It got to about 21% and then this showed up, failed to write data 'protocol fault (no status)'
It is fixable, you just might have to fully restore the stock firmware with Odin. If you can't flash another rom or restore a backup, i would just Odin it back to stock and start over. This will fix any corruption that may have happened to your partitions.

Ok cool, you're on the right track. If all else fails you can.also grab the stock firmware from here: http://samfirmware.com/, typing SPH-L900 in the search box, and flashing the firmware with Odin. Good luck, you'll get it fixed.
Ok Id like to start with the fact that I have searched for this on google and the forums. I did find a modded recovery img but still not much as far as why/what caused this. Heres the details:
decided today was the day I was gonna flash from stock 4.1.2 to PA 3.99. I revisited the thread to make sure on the development, and to see if there was any special instructions. Just to be safe I also stopped by the TWRP thread and found that update info as well and did what was needed in Goo Manager. So with updated recovery a fresh backup, I went forward with flashing. Wiped everything, flash PA then Gapps, then BMS well....no issue. Booted to system like normal setup google and went about my way tweaking with visual preferences. I then had to reboot, because PA_Gapps needed to be flashed in the PA udpater, so I let it do its thing....this is where things turn bad. Rebooting to recovery went fine as it flashed the new gapps....but after the reboot it just STAYED at the samsung logo "booped by BMS"....nothing else. left it for 10 mins, still nothing happened.
I then try to recover with my backup...nope i couldnt see anything in TWRP file manager. It said eMMC, sd-ext, sdcard, root, boot, data, cache, datadata and usb-otg were empty directories. I cant do anything right now. I've really never had to deal with odin or ADB and its lookin more and more like Im gonna have to go that method.
Does anyone have any insight on this issue? Thx
Yes all your backups and your root files gave been moved to the emulated folder. That happens when you flash 4.2 or 4.3 using your recovery your going to have to search your internal storage until you find it. Or you can connect the phone to the computer access your internal storage abd copy everything to the 0 folder directory. But if you go into recovery wipe everything again and search your internal storage you will find the rom and you should be able to reflash. The gapps is what messed you up.
Remember search is your best friend, Have a great day!

Thank you, but i cant flash anything.
I just tried wiping and it said failed. I tried factory reset and a full wipe both failed. I can odin files but i cant flash a damn thing. I cant find clockwork tar to odin for the life of me. Any directory I need, seems to have access cut off to it through recovery.
I actually searched the WHOLE filesystem and did not find folder 0. Same for any of the prior files i had in the internal storage.
As we speak i just reflashed PA 3.99 successfully, when i tried wiping dalvik it failed, still couldnt access most directories and factory wipe failed too.
Any ideas?

ok....redownloading TW 4.1.2.
eMMC, sd-ext, sdcard, root, boot, data, cache, datadata and usb-otg were empty
and going to odin your link
Could this have to do with TWRP asking for a password on recovery boot?
fixed with downgrade to twrp 2.4.4.0 then full wipe then back up to 2.6.1.0. Thanks for your response

Well I really mistaken when I thought it was fixed. I can just format data and it returns to normal boot but only one time. After that boot into system any reboot causes the same bootlock or password request @ twrp start. What am I missing? I haven't formatted every partition, updated and downgraded twrp, defaulted everything and still same issue. Does this have to do with TWRPs new encryption feature? I can't downgrade TWRP right now but that's my next to do. When did they start recovery encryption? pls&thx and yes i search everytime for anyone feeling that this is not worth helping.
I dont try to bother anybody on here unless i have to, and when i have to....well not too often does there seem to be much kindness behind the help. This isn't a stab at anyone, just observations of other peoples requests along with mine.
Again thx.

So my sister recently bought a used phone running 4.1.2 and it started rebooting on its own for some reason or another. I am able to get into twrp 2.3.1.1 recovery and do a factory reset but the reboot loop problem still remains. I tried the other options in the wipe menu like wiping the internal storage but it says its unable to mount /data. Even in the Mount Menu i am unable to check the Mount data box.
I've also got the hurricane v4 rom downloaded but i am unable to install it for some reason. Is it because i am unable to mount the /data? Would a Format data work to install the hurricane rom? I've tried to download the 4.3 stock rom but not successful due to such a crappy internet connection. Luckily the hurricane v4 rom that i got from here supported the resume download function.

I also have note 2 with this strange reboot problem.
The OS doesn't matter at all for me (check that also).
If the problem will still remain, then I must say that it's a hardware malfunction.
Mine has it too, and does some random reboots at any time, specially when it has been used for longer time.

I have philz touch 6.26.6 clockworkmod v 6.0.4.8 installed. I go into the Wipe data/factory reset to do a factory reset but seems like it hangs and reboots. Seems like its unable to mount and format /data still. Can someone shed some light on this?

Go to mounts and storage and click on format/system, format/cache, format/preload , format/data and format/data and data/media (/sdcard)<--- this will format your internal storage,so back up if you have anything saved on it..NOTE: Do NOT format storage/sdcard1 cause this is your external sd card if you accidentally do format it you will lose all the contents on your sd card.If you still want to format your external sd card by this way make sure you have a card reader handy to be able to transfer the downloaded ROM and other contents on your sd card.
Now go back to main menu and click on advanced menu and wipe dalvik cache ,once again go back to main menu and click on wipe cache partition and go ahead and wipe it.At the very end go back to main menu and click on wipe data/factory reset and choose Clean to install a New ROM.Done.You have successfully performed all the wipes.Now you can go ahead and flash the ROM.

Installed the hurricane rom perfectly! Thanks!
One more thing, the phone is not getting service or recognizing the sim card. Is there anything i can do to get service again?

Okay you need to reflash modem I'm in phone so can't link you up with hurricane modem tool but in my signature it says JellyKat FAQ click on that and in there you'll see hurricane modem changer tool link , go visit that thread , download version 5, and flash it recovery , aroma install will open and choose one of the newer modems and see if that fixes your no sim card detected issue *fingers crossed *

Umm I had this issue once and flashing one of the modems solved my issue , you might have to restore efs backup look for Dr.Ketan thread on how to restore efs if modems don't work out

None of the modems worked. I've deleted the /system and /data and all the steps you gave me and restored back to 4.1.2 with twrp and the darnedest thing happened. no reboot loop, only thing is that there still is no service. The GCI screen shows up when booting (my cell phone service) . i was pretty sure the efs was checked when i backed it up a few days ago. I think i dun goofed on this one.
EDIT: Looking at the 4.1.2 backed up rom on my computer, there is a efs.ext4.win.md5 and a efs.ext4.win file on there.

Flashing stock also reflashes the modem, does it not?
So there is still the 4.3 stock ROM which he was not able to download so far, unfortunately.

Yes it does so if he manages to download it ,things should be easier for him.

I would rather try to fix the download issues or to get the file from somebody else instead of wasting time on flashing modem after modem.

So i finally got a premium link download on rapidgator and am downloading this stock rom atm. so its resumable (hooray!).
When done, i use the "PHONE" option in odin right? Im guessing installing the stock rom also re installs the stock recovery? Crossing my fingers (and toes lol) hoping this download finishes. If her phone doesnt work after all this i talked her into letting me buy it. It seems like a really nice phone. If she lets me buy it im thinking to get the Moga controller afterwards and installing some emulators and games, it'll be a nice little portable system.
SOLVED
Finally got the stock 4.3 download and installed and now the phone is working. Thanks everyone who contributed to help.

Great! Enjoy the phone
By the way, tags are usually put in front of a thread's title
Nevermind, the main point is to tag it as solved :good:
