Encryption Unsuccessful, data and system partition can't be mounted - AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II

I've been running Cyanide L for a while and today I see a message that says "Encryption Unsuccessful" and when I tried to reset, TWRP threw errors about how it couldn't mount the specified folder. Anyone know of any way to fix this?

I'm not sure if you found a solution but I would flash back to stock and start over. Flashing stock will probably require a complete factory wipe which means you'll lose your data.

[Q] UIDs on the system are inconsistent - happened to me :(

Well, to my wife's phone anyhow. I had installed CWM recovery and was fixing permissions because I had had a couple of minor issues, but while it was doing its job the battery fell off (duh...) and now I'm getting the infamous error.
I have searched high and low and all I can do -it would seem- is to do a factory reset? Or is there some pearl of wisdom I've missed?
Thanks!
PS Ah yes, forgot to say I've fixed permissions through CWM several times now, problem persists...
Hey... I had this error too..had to factory reset then it was gone
Yeah, that's what I did, too. Somebody should try and make a tool for this issue...
UIDS errors, factory reset and more
I have flashed the 2.3.6 and I started to get some problems of instability with some programs that where crashing, so I reinstalled again the 2.3.6 but I think without removing the roots rights...
From that time I get the famous sentence "Uids .... I'm feeling lucky"
Now most of the programs are not working and crashing, I cannot use the market, I've been trying to factory reset, but I got this error while rebooting after factory reset:
E:format_volume: rfs format failed on /dev/block/mmcblk0p2
E:format_volume: rfs format failed on /dev/block/stl10
E:format_volume: rfs format failed on /dev/block/stl11
data wipe failed
the the phone rebooted, give same sentence "Uids...." and if I try to connect to the pc and try to delete file from the internal SD card it deletes, but when I reboot the mobile the files are always there.
It seems I have not the rights to modify anything on the partition
Anybody has some clue?
I had the same problems and I had to reset the phone to factory settings.
But after that I fixed this I discovered this app Fix Permissions from Stephen (Stericson). I installed this app just in case.
I think it may be fix the problem without CWM or else a factory reset will do.

I cannot install anything the market is not working and I cannot copy any file on the internal sdcard.
Exactly I can copy files or even format the partition but when I reboot the device the partition, files, directory are always there like I've done nothing.

Q TWRP Cannot wipe data/factory reset due to multiple lost+found folders

Using TWRP 2.6.3.0, I'm unable to wipe data. Every time I try, I get
"wiping data without wiping /data/media
E: error opening '/data/lost+found'
done."
I excluded the nonessential bits, if anyone wants a full log (something something partition details), I can make one.
I using ES File Explorer with root explorer on, I checked out /data and found two lost+found folders, which I think is causing my issue. I've tried deleting just one, but a second one is automatically generated. If I delete them both, then they're automatically recreated as well. If I delete them both and then remake one immediately after, another one will be remade.
I also checked the rest of the /data folder, and I did not find any lost+found files, so I'm pretty sure it's just the folders messing things up
I checked this thread, but I didn't find anything useful

I ended up here after I accidentally wiped my internal storage with TWRP. I went from a 4.3 AOSP rom to 4.1.2 stock (HD RLS16). I wiped the 4.3 rom, but I think I accidentally wiped internal storage then as well, or maybe something was messed up with TWRP because the storage folder for 4.3 isn't in data/media (or at least not for the rom I was using). After that I used hyperdrive, which was super buggy with Gapps and didn't work at all. After adding an account, everything kept force closing, and things were extremely slow and took minutes to open, even after removing the account and wiping cache+dalvik.
I thought it had to do with the rom, so I went and wiped stuff, then went to CM 10.1.3 stable, but that didn't boot at all, so I tried wiping again and going to liquidsmooth 2.9, which is where my problems started again. I attempted to wipe again and go back to cm10.1.3. The wipe failed, but cm10.1.3 worked.
any ideas on how I can fix this? I was unable to find help on google.

Anytime you get that error format data (the one where you type yes) the folder gets corrupted and a format fixes it.

This has happened to me twice and the only solution i have found was to wipe internal storage. unfortunately i wasnt able to backup my internal storage before wiping so eveything i had on my phone was erased. Everything in your external is safe you dont have to worry but if you had important files or anything that you wouldnt erase on your internal storage then that is very unfortunate.
As for me, i now backup everything maybe like once a month or so, just in case something like this happens again.
Its happened to me also and I could not resolve it without the wipe, that was the only viable solution that worked for me.

Although if you're using twrp I just found out you can still save some of your precious files.
How? Simple
You can go into recovery and into the file manager. I think it's in settings or advanced I'm not sure. But I know that is built into twrp. So then just go into your internal storage and select the files and move them to the external storage.
If it's your first time using the file manager then you'll have to get used to it because it's not 100% noob friendly
And remember the bigger the file the longer it'll take to move so just be patient.
Use AromaFM!
search bar will serve you..

Thank you very much, saved my life today!
Can i get some help please. I cant format data via TWRP, it says "E: unable to wipe data, unknow fle system, auto, unable to format to remove encryption". I did not put any encryption. What to do?
Have you tried using different versions of TWRP to wipe?

problems with twrp

i've been breaking my head over this problem for 2 days now, i installed twrp to find out it couldn't make androids because a leftover folder from a deinstalled game prevented it. i tried to remove the folder but failed so i put the phone back to factory settings. now wafter reinstalling everything but the game that prevented it previously it still gives me this error. anyone know how i can get rid of the folder?( see picture)
I cant see how an old folder stops you making backups, it will be an SD card error or a partition error?
You might have to flash back to stock and then bump TWRP again.
As you can read in my op i already tried that also tried rzmoving it with rm -r as su, then i get a I/O error.
How did you restore to stock? The only way to get your desired results is to use cse flash with kdz or use the tot method.
Oh tought it was ok to do it trough pcsuite... Anyway is there a way to solve this trough terminal as well?
Ok so here's an update. I cse flashed a kdz. But the folder is still there, how is thzt even possible?? Any ideas how this can be solved? Could i use twrp to wipe the data partition?
so anyone who knows if i can use tarp to wipe the data partition?

Solved: Play Store app causing a lot of issues. Factory Reset failed.

Update: Using Smart Switch (Kies), I was able to flash the Stock rom. By using the software, I didnt have to know what version to download or where to download. It flashed everything on its own. Just ensure that the cable you are using is proper ( i had a loose cable which was causing a lot of disconnects.
Hi All,
I'm on this abominable 4.3 version (T889UVUCOH4).
I see that after some partial update from Play Store for some games and stuff, the Play Store app stopped working altogether and is frequently showing the message "Unfortunately, Google Play Store has stopped" (pic1.png)
Tried a reboot, cache wipe, dalvik wipe before the dreaded factory reset. At this point I realised its either the factory reset or my phone getting drained to to constant messages from stoppage of the Play Store app.
I backed up all that I needed and decided to get rid of this completely by doing a Factory reset. To my sheer disbelief, factory reset is failing. I am using CWM recovery and Note 2 is rooted.
Code:
ClockworkMod Recovery v6.0.4.3
-- Wiping data...
Formatting /data...
Error mounting /data!
Skipping format...
Formatting /cache...
Formatting /sd-ext...
Formatting /sdcard/.android_secuure...
E:unknown volume "/sdcard/.android_secure"
Data wipe complete...
Rebooting
After this the phone boots up normally and goes on to throw up those "app stopped" messages.
If I do the Factory reset from Settings->Accounts->Backup and Reset -> Factory data reset -> Reset device then the following set of logs appear during the reset
Code:
ClockworkMod Recovery v6.0.4.3
E: Invalid command argument
Formatting /data...
E:format_volume: make_extf4fs failed on /dev/block/mmcblk0pl17
Formatting /cache...
Data wipe failed.
If anyone can guide me to either install a Custom rom at this stage or simply recover to stock rom, I would really appreciate your help.
I feel some guidance at this stage for me would be good as I have flashed roms and tinked a wee little bit performing Rooting and using Rooted apps and SU (maybe its useful or maybe not)
So please help me !
I would try using TWRP Recovery instead of CWM to wipe the device.

If that fails then get a stock ROM you can flash through Odin (this will wipe internal memory)
I was able to flash the stock rom using Kies (Smart Switch).
I still cannot imagine why that error happened when I was doing partial App update.
Marking it as solved. If you have any concerns, please PM me.

[XT1710-06] (ATTMX - 64GB) Is there any way to restore or manually recreate partition

TL;DR of the problem: Can't mount the User Data Partition in TWRP, so I can't wipe it or do anything to it. Stock Recovery and Fastboot mode can't see it or mount it either, it's like it doesn't exists at all.
Is there any way to restore the default partitions?
How I created this mess: I tried to remove the encryption and failed (TWRP recovery and then wiping the data and userdata partition), so I tried flashing it using a Stock rom from another site (I'm not sure if I can link it since it's an external site so I'll just put the file name XT1710-06_ALBUS_ATTMX_8.0.0_OPSS27.76-12-25-15-2-4_cid50_subsidy-IUSMXLA_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip) but the sparsechunk 6 (everything else was successful) failed to flash and I've been stuck on bootloop (it turns on, tries to load the OS and sort of manages but then it restarts itself) since then but now it's like the userdata partition doesn't even exists, it can't be mounted, can't be wiped, can't be restored (from TWRP) nor factory restored (STOCK RECOVERY).
So I am here asking any of you if there's a way to restore the partitions, specially since I don't really know if there's a way or the sizes/formats.
Also I've read about a blankflash but I'm not sure about the results I've found using google (it scares me to screw this even more). Could this fix my situation?
Please let me know if more data is needed (also how to get it so I can post it).
