Encrypted Device - Can't wipe 'data' - ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Well, I decided to flash my phone and forgot that it was encrypted.
Went to TWRP, and wiped everything that it could, but it was stuck in '/data'. This means that my phone got pretty much reseted but the 'data' partition didn't.
The problem now is that I cannot install any ROM. I tried a lot of methods to remove the encryption and some worked, for example:
mke2fs -t ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p19
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
This meant that I could restart TWRP without having to put the PIN to decrypt it. But still, It kept failing on me, when trying to install a new rom, with the error:
unable to wipe 'data' -- unknown filesystem 'auto'
unable to format to remove encryption
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I have no idea of what to do. I tried with DD also, to rewrite the blocks, but it just brought my encryption back.
Can anyone please help me ?

[Q] Lost. SD partition? Can't install ROMs, soft brick

So i'm a noobie. I mean i have some experience (rooted and installed many ROMS like my Nexus One device, i know, ancient) but i got all that information and knowledge on here! So my mom is using this HTC ONE X that she just received and i want to be nice and root it and remove all the bloatware on it and what not. After so many struggles of unlocking the bootloader and all things that fall under rooting the device i was able to FINALLY gain root permission but for some reason i couldn't permanently delete the apps on there like i have in the past with other phones. So, i decided to try flashing a ROM. So i Google'd, YouTube'd and tried to come across the best one i could find. Found a Lollipop Rom somewhere (probably made a mistake on which phone it was for), followed the instructions but didn't backup anything (i know, i know, noob move #1) but it would get stuck on then HTC Quietly Briliant screen (oh and before that, i had a HUGE amount of trouble with the phone using ADB and it being recognized, flashing recoveries and booting into them, it was just a hassle!). I also flashed Clockworkmod at one poit to try and fix things but i was able to get back on TWRP V2.5.0 (tried a higher version but it did not work) so now my phone connects easily to my pc and i pretty much know how to use adb fastboot commands and get into recovery and sideload ROMs but, after many, many attempts at trying to install different ROMs, none work. It'll either stay on the HTC Quietly Briliant screen or won't install and i'll get a message in ADB Sideload:

Here's the solution.
The problem was that I managed to screw up the partitions on my internal storage card, so basically nothing would work properly. I could still get into recovery, though. That's key.
Here's what you'll need:
1 Working recovery, basic knowledge of adb & the shell
2 Parted (download here)
3 stock PB31IMG.zip
Note also that I had run unrevoked forever (so my phone was S-OFF) ... I'm not sure if that's required or not.
So, grab parted from the link above. Now you need to extract the individual binaries from the .zip (the 6 files in the sdparted folder within the zip), ideally to your android-sdk\tools directory. Now push all 6 files (adb push [file] /sbin/). Next, we need to make them useable, so go into the shell (adb shell). Change to your /sbin/ directory, and run: chmod 0755 <file> on each of the 6 files.
Now, we need to fix the partitions. This is assuming that the partitions are there, just the wrong format (which is what happened to me .. I accidentally made them FAT32 instead of ext). So, run the following: parted /dev/block/mmcblk0 mkfs ext2. It will ask if you want to continue, hit yes. When it asks for the partition number, enter 1. Next, when it asks for the format, enter ext2. Let it do its thing. Now, once it's done, run parted again. This time, enter partition 2 (everything else is the same).

So i thought this may be my problem but then as i get to the parted /dev/block/mmcblk0 mkfs ext2 part of the steps I get stuck because it says something like i can't overlap partitions?
So here i am, desperate for help, trying to fix my mothers phone. Sorry, if i'm not clear enough, i tried my best to recall everything i did (kind of hard after hours and hours of trying multiple things for multiple problems) and all that i've come across without being too specific on things that may not matter (hopefully?). So can anyone help? Please, guide me!

When you install some rom are you flash the boot.img with the command fastboot flash boot boot.img where the boot.img is taken from rom archive where you install and puted in your fastboot folder

Initially on the first rom i remember doing so (still didn't work), but after that i did fail to do it for the other roms.

hello babymatrix, i'm wondering if you were able to solve or find a solution to your issue. The reason i'm asking is because i'm on the same boat right now and looking for way to fix a similar issue as yours.
basically, i got a phone with a broken partition like yours. I can still go to recovery but you'll see this message and cannot mount system. I also cannot go into fastboot mode (it hangs when i do a power+vol down)
E: failed to mount block devices /dev/block/mmcblk1p1
E: remount block devices /dev/block/mmcblk1
E: failed to mount /sdcard (No such file or directory)
From searching the net, i figured there's something wrong with the partitioning of the phone. I managed to do adb shell and i could see there's a folder sdcard.
nway, if you've managed to find a solution for your issues, i hope if you could share. thanks.

I messed up the /data partition. "Partition table doesn't exist".

Hi people,
Today I decided to do a fresh start on my Redmi 1S. I erased all partitions (excluding the bootloader) with fastboot to then install CyanogenMod 12.1. For some whatever reason TWRP can't detect my SD card, so I can't flash any .zip from there (this is a problem I had before I had this idea of a fresh start, so it's not related). And, it says error mounting every partition I have erased with fastboot (edit: now it's only /data), so I couldn't store the .zip to flash in internal storage. I attempted to fix the /data partition using TWRP (Repair file system) and an error occurred and completely destroyed my /data partition. I'm glad I didn't do the same for the other partitions (I was testing it first with the /data).
Then I heard about "ADB Sideloading", which would easily solve my problems I guess, since I could flash the original MIUI and it would bring my partitions back (I think). Well, here's what happened:
Code:
Installing '/sideload/package.zip'
Writing image emmc_appsboot.mbn...
[I]blah blah blah[/I]
E:Unable to mount '/data'
With fastboot I can for example erase /system, but I can't erase /data, fastboot gives this error:
Code:
remote: partition table doesn't exist
How can I fix the /data partition? Am I screwed?
Thanks in advance!
Edit: I just fixed the SD card problem not being recognized. I had to use the tool SDFormatter instead of the built-in Windows Formatting Tool.
Edit 2: I tried to restore a nandroid backup, it stops with "Unable to mount /data" too... The other partitions work fine.

I have MIUI here in a .zip file. Can you tell me the command to flash via fastboot? I tried "fastboot update" but it says that there's no android-info.txt in the .zip file.
To sum up, so far I have tried to ADB Sideload, I have tried to flash that MIUI .zip from TWRP and everything fails with "Unable to mount /data".
I probably need to recreate the /data partition. Any ideas?

[solved] TWRP - could not mount /data and unable to find crypto footer

Hi,
Nice to be here after so much years of reading !
My LG G3s (d722) was fine with Cyanogenmod 13 and encryption enabled. I've made a Titanium backup for my apps (& cie...) on the SD card, and reboot in TWRP 3.0.2-0, enter my password to mount storage, and I've wiped all partitions exept the SD card.
Then I've flashed the CM14 zip file, and get these error in the process :
"could not detect filesystem for /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/userdata, assuming ext4 mount: failed to mount /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/userdata at /data: Unkown error 200 unmount of /data failed; no such volume"
"Failed to mount '/data' (No such device)"
Since then :
- if I reboot into recovery, TWRP doesn't ask me the password to decryp the partition
- if I reboot in CyanogenMod ask me the password, but the tells me :
Decryption unsuccessful
The password you entered is correct but unfortunately your data is corrupt.
To resume using your phone, you need to perform a factory reset. When you set up your phone after the reset, you'll have an opportunity to restore any data that was backed up to your Google Account.​Then it reboot into TWRP
Any ideas ?
How could I mount ext4 partition in TWRP ? Or restore stock recovery ?
Thanks a lot for your advices
resolving !
Hi myself and everyone from another time,
I've resolved this mess by :
- installing LG drivers
- downloading kitkat stock-rom D72210d_00.kdz
- open LG Flash Tool 2014 and load D72210d_00.kdz, and start a CSE Flash
Then stard android 4, root it... etc
Best

Installed .img in the wrong partition from TWRP

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

[solved] Recovery: "Unable to mount storage"

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

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.

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…
