Hi guys, Sorry for the noob questions. But I think I'm about to lose it. I don't know what I'm doing honestly. You guys are awesome for doing this stuff.
I did the steps from the wiki - cyanogen wiki
but didn't backup due to excitement. I try installing from the sdcard but it says: could not detect filesystem for /dev/block/patform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/userdata, assuming ext4 mount: failed to mount /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/userdata at /data: Invalid argument unmount of /data failed. no such volume
Fastboot used to work but now it won't and also adb. Everytime I try pressing the volume up and connecting the usb, its just shows battery charging.
Could anyone please help me. I know this might be like basic stuff to you guys, but this ****s hard man. please help. I'm scared to do anything on the phone anymore.
Anyone?
Help. Anyone? Please.

Get any twrp build for nicki.... Boot to cm recovery .... Put the recovery.img on your phone (place on sdcard )
Then:
adb shell dd if=/storage/sdcard1/recovery.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/FOTAKernel
Then reboot to recovery and try to flash a nicki rom
Sent from my mint using XDA Free mobile app
I would recommend a clean install by flashing an FTF first using flashtool
is there anyway to flash the rom?
coz flashtool have error
"ERROR - Error flashing. Aborted"
how can i fix it?
Flash new factory image or try again installing flashtool on your computer with drivers and then fastboot it with twrp recovery and then flash any ROM you want it will surely boot.

Hi, if you can help me unbrick my phone I'll buy you a beer (or three!)
I have an htc one x which i managed to unlock the bootloader via htcdev as in various tutorials....
I was too lazy to take a backup
I then tried to install cyanogenmod 10 using cwm recovery.... (by flashing a zip file i had downloaded - one of the nightly builds)
I wiped the cache etc in cwm
it got stuck in a boot loop i think as it got to the spinning cyanogen logo then nothing happened...
I've tried to get it working again using lots of different methods - i downloaded some RUU exes which failed because they said they weren't the correct ROM (even though they should be right) - then i read a tutorial about how to use fastboot to flash system.img onto the phone but it fails giving error code 00000006
I can't push any zip files to the phone using ADB as I get permission denied errors
I've also tried to use fastboot to flash various recoveries but I can't apply any zips because I can't get them onto the phone in the first place
I've also flashed various recovery.img files but when they load, I get a red triangle after a few seconds
If someone could tell me how to use ADB to push a zip file to the phone I'd be really grateful - have tried everything but keep getting permission denied errors
Thanks
(oh and if you manage to help me fix it I WILL buy you a beer... or 3)
oh and ....
ALSO I've googled the problem and tried all of the options I can find which could help - please don't just send me a link to a page because i can guarantee I've probably already tried the solution and failed. When I boot into recovery, I can't use adb push to send files to the phone because it says it's not connected even if i try the option for mount data, or mount storage - the only time windows seems to manage to aknowledge it's existence is on the fastboot screen -

Have you flashed the cm boot IMG and then erased fastboot cache?
fastboot flash boot pathtoboot.IMG
fastboot erase cache
For the RUU to work you need to have stock recovery and a relocked boot loader.
if you download the latest clockworkmod mounting as USB storage is fixed.

wow that was a quick reply - yes I've flashed the cm boot img and erased the cache - which version of CWM is the latest? - When you say mounting as USB storage is fixed, do you mean that windows will be able to see the device and write files to it?
(I'm really sorry for asking these questions - the problem is that I know a BIT about how android works but not as much as I should do)

Are you absolutely sure you flashed the boot.img from the rom.zip using fastboot on your computer? Because it really sounds like you didn't
This is a thread I made and it should provide you with a solution if not a starting point if you insist on CM10.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1900127
Good luck!
sorry hope i'm not wasting your time!
I ran the command as follows :-
fastboot flash boot boot_signed.img
(I got the img file from the ruu )
I'm not 100% sure if it worked, but at that stage I didn't see any errors

CWM 5.8.4.0 has the USB mounting fixed. You can go to mounts and storage and mount as USB, then the PC will see it.
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Wipe cache and dalvik cache.
I'm pretty sure you either didn't flash the boot.img or flashed the wrong one, so get it again to make sure it's the right one and
fastboot flash boot boot.img
And
fastboot erase cache
thanks!
I'll give it a go - to be honest i don't insist on using cm10 at all - i just wanted to see what jellbean was like and it seemed like a reasonable way of achieving that.... i'd be quite happy with any decent rom if it can fix the lag problems i have and some of the other issues.....
great tutorial by the way! - once my phone has charged up again I'll try it

I use CM10 myself at the moment because of the aesthetics, but because of the amount of ram and battery it uses I wish I had stuck with ARHD.
Come October we should see Jellybean ARHD which will have great features like USB OTG without a powered hub.

Mount as USB not working on that version, also charging not working either. It was not a great release in terms.of features, but it was updated quickly, that's quite an.old version now.
Do you know which tutorial you followed? It really needs updating, there are a lot of people on this old version struggling more than they need to.
Right, first you're going to flash a recovery which allows you to mount USB storage. Either cwm or TWRP, download the recovery.img and flash through fastboot using fastboot flash recovery rocoveryname.img.
Download a new rom and extract the boot.img from it. Flash that boot.img using the usual fastboot method.
Now boot into the new recovery, connect to your pc and mount USB storage from the option in recovery. Copy over the rom you downloaded. Unmount USB storage. Now do a full wipe through the menu in recovery - format /data, /system and /cache. Now flash the rom and reboot
I have rooted Htc Desire with ClockworkMod Recovery v5.8.0.2 and yasterday i was going to install a new rom.
At first i do backup, all was normally until the recovery find some error with sd-ext and skiped backuping it, when it finished i was going at recovery screen and go to mounts and storage and try to mount sd-ext i got an error (Error mounting /sd-ext) so i tried to mount sdcard but i get the same error (Error mounting /sdcard) and then i pull out battery and give it back and turn on phone but the phone didˇn load my android system then i go beck in recovery and format boot,cache,data and system. Then i click to install ZIP from sdcard but when i click chose zip from sdcard the recovery report: E:Can´t mount /sdcard/. I try another time with other SD-card but the same problem.
So i ask friend what to do and he sey: try to install other version of recovery. But i root and install this version with some program (unrevoked), and this program need ROM on my phone.
So i am asking you, How to install recovery on a desire whitch doesn`t have ROM installed??
P.S.: Sory for my bad english and i hope that anyone know this.
Use fastboot to flash recovery without the use of a sd-card.
Here's a fastboot tool:

So I wanted to install a new ROM to my SM-P600. I had a CryogenMod ROM installed and wanted to go to Hyperdrive. I reboot to recovery and do the Factory Reset in TWRP. Afterward I go install the Hyperdrive ROM. However I notice that i'm getting the message that TWRP is "unable to mount /data" in the logs. The installation of Hyperdrive seems fine but I never boots.
How do I go about repairing the /data partition? I have adb and odin installed and working.
One thing I tried was going in to adb shell but I get this error when I try "could not load library "libc.so" needed by /sbin/sh". :crying:
Thank you for your help.

have you had any luck with your corrupt /data partition? i spent a couple weeks it seemed on my /efs corruption & it just needed to be remounted. i had to use CWM/PHILZ for adb commands. i know TWRP can do it but i had better luck with cwm + i was able to backup my /efs with cwm. if you are still stuck give me a shout
good luck

What is your process?
Hey folks,
I've just unlocked my bootloader and flashed the newest PhilZ Recovery. I've been following THIS tutorial.
Fastboot didn't encounter any issues, so I thought everything went fine. But after flashing the recovery image, my phone got stuck while booting. The Sony logo shows up, the screen turns black and that's where it gets stuck.
Trying to erase userdata, factory reset etc didn't help. While resetting it shows up the following message
Code:
"Error mounting/formatting /data"
So I tried to mount it manually in the recovery, but it shows the same error. Seems like a permission problem?!
Since I don't have a ROM on my SD-card yet I tried to install one via fastboot.
Code:
fastboot update ArchiDroid_V3.0.1.1-nicki.zip
But..
Code:
Archive does not contain 'android-info.txt'
Archive does not contain 'android-product.txt'
error: update package has no android-info.txt or android-product.txt
Now I'm stuck. I don't think installing a new ROM will work if I can't even mount /data. So first thing is to fix this and then I'll be able to install a new ROM. Am I right?
By the way : fastboot has no problem detecting my device, but adb can't find it?! D:
I appreciate any kind of help! Thanks in advice!

I did. Tried 3 different ROMs and everyone gave me the same outcome.
But it seems like I fixed it by returning to stock using FlashTool and a stock ROM. I went all over again and now it's installing the ROM. I hope it's working now.
E: Yup, it's working fine now. But thanks anyway!
Hello,
i just unlocked bootloader and installed twrp and it all went fine..
until i wanted to fully wipe my device, i did this via twrp.
after 20Minuts, nothing happend, the bar was still white and gray (not even a little bit blue)
and it kept stuck on ''twrp formatting data using make_ext4fs function''.
i knew this wasn't a good idea, but i decided to turn off my phone,
and now, everytime when i turn it on on the normal way it just redirrects me to TeamWin in a bootloop.
even if i want to go to recovery mode i keep stuck in that bootloop, so there is nothing i can do right now, i only can stick at Fastboot Mode but nothing else,
Is there any way to fix this problem?
Using ASUS ZENFONE 2 551ML
I hope you did a backup of your system before? Otherwise just download the latest full image:
http://dlcdnet.asus.com/pub/ASUS/ZenFone/ZE551ML/UL-Z00A-WW-2.20.40.174-user.zip
place it on your internal sdcard (via adb push) and then flash it normally with TWRP. Please note that the procedure can take up to 30 minutes, where the formatting is the procedure taking the longest time...

Man, I misread your post, sorry...I thought you could boot only into twrp
If you still have fastboot, why not flashing twrp 2.8.x.x?
Code:
Fastboot flash recovery nameofrecovery.img
Fastboot reboot recovery
Otherwise you could flash stock system with this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone2/general/guide-brick-soft-hard-bricked-zenfone-2-t3284256

wow, that is something really helpfull, there is still hope to revive my phone
i'll let you know how it turnt out xd
thanks alot!!
i fixed recovery mode, so thats already one step further. Oefff @TheSSJ thanks for the help.
But now i get some other problems, when i try to wipe my phone i get the error like ''unable to mount /data'' and ''unable to wipe dalvik''
and all other kinds of these errors, i get the same problem when i was installing rom. isn't there anything or a way to fully wipe all this **** so i can install a fresh rom.
i flashed custom rom and this is error log i get. its all full written down.

Seems you don't have a WW image installed, do you have a CN Software? Then you need another Software of course
what do you mean with ww & cn software?
sorry but im new in this.. but im really interested so can you please explain a little bit?
how can i get this other software! thanks!!!
Where did you buy your Phone? what does the packaging state? WW, CN, TW, etc? These 2 letters must be written in uppercase somewhere, then we will know which software to flash, there is a check where your phone's software is compared to the zip you are trying to flash:
assert failed: getprop ("ro.build.asus.sku") == ''WW''
Which TWRP did you flash?
ohhh yes, i do have CN software Probably, as it is buyed from china.
Where can i find this other type software?
thanks!

I think flashing will still fail though...but pls try first,maybe it'll work
i tryed it, i get the same error :/
Update: i changed from CN to WW.
Because of this i reflashed to twrp 3.0 and it works properly and now wiping shows no problem anymore.
I also got the WW ota zip but dont know how to install that.
Anyway, i tryed to install xaosp rom (even if my ota is still CN)
And it showed no problems at all!
BUT when i tryed to startup my phone it sticks with the asus logo and wont go any further, not a bootloop, it just sticks at the asus logo.
We are Always getting more and more steps further into fixing my phone, thanks for that @TheSSJ were almost there ?

You could try flashing cm13 first and then xosp:
First wipe data/cache
Then flash cm13
Boot up and hope that it works
Reboot to recovery
Wipe data/cache
Flash xosp and maybe a kernel that fits (FlareM?)
Boot to system again
