Current Problems:
E:unable to mount storage
E:unable to mount data
Stuck at fastboot oem format
The Story:
I factory reset my Xperia M, then I unlocked Bootloader and also flashed TWRP through FastBoot. After that I flashed "Lollipop 5.1 Cyanogenmod 12.1 Official Nightly Build 20150630" through External Memory Card (TWRP). I rebooted my phone, it was stuck on Sony logo for sometime then it again rebooted itself and TWRP was gone and Cyanogenmod's recovery was there. I again flashed TWRP and tried other ROM but then also the same thing happened. So I again flashed TWRP through FastBoot. I searched and tried the following command in Terminal TWRP:
Code:
mke2fs -T ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p8
But I didn't know which folder to select so I selected the directory which was showing all folders, but it said "not enough space to build proposed file system.................". No matter which folder I selected it always showed that error.
Currently I am using the following command through FastBoot:
Code:
fastboot oem format
and it's been stuck there for 1 hour showing 3 dots. Is it working, does it take hours to format?
P.S.: I also tried ADB sideload but the same thing happened - it rebooted and I got Cyanogen Recovery and then again I flashed TWRP.
Please help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hello,
I was getting an error after flashing exposed framework that would not let me use my device at all. Something along the lines of com.android.something has stopped/crashed/shutdown and stopped the phone from working and prompted to send report to HTC.
I am on an unlocked htc 10 s-on w/ unlocked bootloader FYI. While flashing a new rom in twrp I'm getting 'zip file is corrupt!' or 'Invalid zip file format!' I have flashed this particular rom before. Happens with viper, profusion, stock deodex, elementalx, and so on.
log when flashing a rom:
Updating partition details...
...done
Full SElinux support is present.

or

If you have any idea how to solve this please, then you can roast me after. I've been bricked for nearly 2 weeks. I seriously need help here

Please see my most recent thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-10/help/unable-to-mount-repair-wipe-micro-ext-t3716101
I repaired the /system partition. Now I am able to mount everything but 'Micro SDCard' + 'usb_otg' partitions, and cannot repair anything but cache. Still unable to flash rom. Error - 'Zip file is corrupted'

So you created a thread to point to your recent created thread. Seriously ...... read the forum rules again. This one will be reported to be closed, 1 thread on a subject is enough.
This was a thread I made previously. I didn't make it just to point at my other post.

Hello,
e:I got /system to mount after repair.
I am on an unlocked htc 10 s-on w/ unlocked bootloader FYI. After wiping all of my data(I know) while flashing a new rom in twrp I'm unable to do anything to 'MicroSDCard' or 'usb _otg' partitions and am getting 'zip file corrupted' when flashing any files/roms. Initially I was not able to mount /system either, but I was able to repair+mount it. This is the log now when flashing a rom:

Can you provide a link to the HTC10_DEV.zip you tried to flash?
https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=817906626617945469 from this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-10/development/htc10-stock-deodexed-nougat-wwe-2-41-t3556908
Its not the rom - it does this for all of them, I have already flashed these roms previously. viper, profusion, even stock rom. I think it has to sd card but I'm not positive. tysm for responding.... really
So I failed to mention the reason I was re-flashing my rom. I was getting an error after flashing exposed framework that would not let me use apps at all. com.android.something has stopped/crashed/shutdown and stopped the phone from working and prompted to send report to HTC. I didn't think much of it because I was still able to boot. But I don't think wiping 'data' partition is harmful and I'm thinking this has to be it.
When I boot my phone I get the message "Device storage corrupt" and it prompts me to reboot into recovery. However TWRP doesnt automatically fix the problem. In TWRP most operations terminate with the message "Unable to mount /data". I cannot wipe /data because it gives me that error.
Is it a problem with the partition table? Should I be trying to flash a PIT file using Heimdal? (I am new to Samsung sorry.) If it is a problem which can be sorted out by manually partitioning, I'm a pretty deft hand with the linux shell and maybe the adb shell isnt too different.
TIA
Oh no ! You have updated your phone to an locked bootloader ! You can't flash now something.
Word to the wise: I was able to fix this problem by reformatting the /data partition. For some reason twrp was not able to do this.
0. Reboot into twrp and if necessary disable MTP in the mount menu.
1. Then I found out the name of the partition block device which holds the /data partition. I found this out by trying to wipe the data partition using TWRP and noting the error message. For me that was mmcblk0p24.
2. Run adb shell mke2fs -T ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p24
Problem solved!
So as I just said, by mistake, I installed an image to the firmware partition and suddenly I couldn't install roms anymore, have tried factory resetting, deleting data, some commands that never worked for my device, its shows me the following message: Failed to mount /firmware (invalid argument), what I am thinking to do is flashing the device again starting from zero but how do I do it from the TWRP? Is it really needed or can I do something else to fix my problem?
which partition did you flash? QPST to stock and unlock bootloader
I bought a used OnePlus 7T Pro (256GB). I followed these instructions: https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/hotdog/install
Unlocking the bootloader worked without problems. To install a recovery, I had to replace "recovery" in the command with "boot_b", but then it worked fine. The copy partitions script also seems to have succeeded. But then I can't install LineageOS and many other recovery features do not work, either, both in the LineageOS recovery and in TWRP.
When I start TWRP (and set my usual vibration, brightness etc. settings), I get the log output from the attached image. I wanted to copy it, but writing the log to /data/media fails because of this issue, too, so here it is hand-transcribed, hopefully correctly:
Failed to mount '/system_root' (Block device required)
Failed to mount '/vendor' (Block device required)
E:Unable to open /system_root/system/apex
E:Unable to load apex images from /system_root/system/apex

Failed to mount '/system_ext' (Block device required)
Failed to mount '/product' (Block device required)
Failed to mount '/vendor' (Block device required)
Failed to mount '/odm' (Block device required)
...done

Full SELinux support is present.
Unable to mount /data/media/TWRP/.twrps
Unable to mount /data/media/TWRP/.twrps

Many things I try in both recoveries fail with similar mounting errors. I tried everything wipe related, but none of it helped, most didn't even work. I also cannot install LineageOS from TWRP (instead of ADB sideload), because no files are listed on the internal SD card, likely because of this mounting issue.
How can I fix this? Since the phone is new anyway, I would be willing to reset anything.

It seems to me that you have to flash the super partition, try first using TWRP and if it can't deal with then try through fast boot.

I have never heard of a "super partition". How do I do that?

Sometimes can be an error from TWRP itself, an older version that can't manage to mount those partitions, but sometimes it happens that the super partition is corrupted, you could find it from your stock ROM and then extracted and flash it either through TWRP or using fastboot.

Do you have a link to a tutorial or so for that?
BTW, the preinstalled operating system boots just fine, so I would be surprised if any partitions were corrupted. I'm also using the latest version of TWRP, at least it's the one that I got on their website yesterday.

Super partition is where some logical partitions are grouped like system, vendor, odm, product, etc.; it depends on the device we're talking about.
As you got a used device, it seems that the last owner did some stuff with it, probably unlocked bootloader (then relocked it) and mess with some custom ROMs (maybe). You can totally fix it by flashing the stock ROM and starting from there, being sure first that you can log in without issues in Google Play (that your account is authorized).
To have this partition readable, you may read this https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...-mount-system-rw-super-rw-read-write.4247311/ in case this doesn't solve flashing the super partition it is a part of the process to flash the stock ROM.

You mean it's in some script in that zip file? Because what I found online just tells me to do the same "adb sideload" with the OxygenOS zip. And that doesn't work because of the same access issue. Or is there something else I should do first?
The link you gave says that it requires a rooted ROM, which I don't have yet.

You can update through the stock recovery in case your TWRP have actually some issues, flash the stock recovery through fastboot (get it from your stock ROM) and then do the sideload through stock recovery, it's probable that the stock recovery can mount super partition and made readable again the system files that´s within, or you can simply flash this or that partition using fastboot commands, for this you need an unlocked bootloader, nothing more.
BTW did you try formatting data?.
And this tool should work for you https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...l-to-restore-your-device-to-oxygenos.4217855/
That tool says it only works for Windows. I have gotten rid of my last Windows system last year.
Not sure what you mean with getting the stock recovery from the stock ROM, since the zip only contains "payload.bin" (extension suggests binary file, no idea how to read that one), a small txt file and a small "META-INF", but here is a download at least: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/oos-all-stock-boot-stock-recovery-oxygenos-11-0-0.4251221
There's even a Magisk version, which I'll try first, since I want that anyway. But for now, I'll sleep. I'll comment again once I've tried it.
BTW, can I stop this website from jumping to the category overview after a few seconds, while I'm trying to just read a post? It's really annoying.

The ROM to be flashed through recovery contains a payload.bin file within others one, this file can be unpacked, not sure if it contains a recovery image though, but you should get it from the full ROM that in some variant comes in oplus format and can be decrypted too, this full ROM contains all the images, it's useful to unbrick a OP device.
Linux doesn't have a counterpart of the Windows applications for smartphones and vice versa in regard to Android development, this is one of the reasons why I have a dual boot machine.
As per the last part it could be an issue from your browser, I didn't have this kind of behaviors from the XDA site.
For "boot.img" and "recovery.img" in the "EU" and the "global" section I get "fastboot: error: boot partition is smaller than boot image". The Magisk version can be installed, but then I get a Qualcomm crash screen when I try to actually start it.
Apparently I have a "OnePlus 7 Pro", not a "OnePlus 7T Pro". I bought that accidentally, but the specs are fine. Actually following the instructions for the correct device worked, who would have thought…
