Okay so I have been using viper ROM for ages now and got bored so decided to try cyanogenmod. Made a backup in twrp on my external SD card. Flashed resurrection remix, tested it. All went well. Then flashed gapps. Forgot to wipe, then got stuck in a bootloop where it would make me decrypt the phone with my lock code every boot and then it would be continuously stuck on optimizing apps, rebooting then asking for decryption again.
So I restored my back up thinking it would fix it. But it did not fix the issue. Now my HTC 10 is saying your data is corrupt even though pin was successful I need to factory reset. But now twrp will not mount internal SD card so therefor being stuck in a loop of this. It says 0mb on external SD. And I know that's because of the encrpytion but how do I fix this some one please help I'm stuck.

You need to format data in twrp to get rid of the encryption.
TWRP->Wipe->Format Data
I have tried formatting but it won't mount the internal SD card whatsoever, even after unlocking the encrpytion in twrp... Possible dead internal?
I think you might just wiping data/factory reset.. "wipe data" is different from "format data". You must format data.. don't swipe. Tap the format data button

..formatting data kills the encryption...so if you do it right, twrp will be able to mount the internal again and also be able to boot up without the encryption screen.
As said already, you probably just wiped the /data partition....you need to format that. thats an extra button in twrp->wipe
I have tried everything possible in twrp :/
Okay it worked sorry my bad thank you so much guys!!

Hey all,
Recently I tried to format my sd card from my phone to create extra space, as it was getting clogged up. I pressed unmount, expecting to mount it again as the format option was greyed out. However, I was unable to get it mounted again (ie my phone no longer recognises a sd card is inserted).
I tried to perform a factory rest to get my phone back to the settings it should have once had. However it didn't manage to do this properly and now its stuck at the htc logo screen. Formating or partitioning the sd card didnt do a thing.
I can get into the bootloader, and it was rooted beforehand. I was running the official Miui ROM. Now I am unable to start my phone normally, nor get into access my sd card.
Unfortunetly, I have had my phone for quiet a long time now so I doubt the warranty is still valid. I need help urgently.
Thanks in advance.
Try clearing cache and data and then install a new rom for example Jellytime r26.2.
if it dont work the first time try one more time. I had the same issue ones and had to install the rom twice before it worked.

Are you S-OFF? Can you get into recovery? through the bootloader? If so, just flash a new ROM through recovery.
How did you try to do a factory reset? If you can get into the bootloader, go to recovery if you have it. Then see if the sdcard is being recognized or not. If it is getting recognized, put the zip of any ROM on it and flash it after wiping like the guy above me said.
Post what your bootloader screen says here. Your phone is far from being bricked as far as I know.
RESOLVED
I've managed to resolve this issue. For the benefit of others I will explain what I did.
1)I went into fastboot mode and connected my phone to my pc (running windows 7). Using cmd I reflashed the recovery image.
2)Went into recovery and installed a custom ROM.
I hope this helps you as it really saved my life.
P.S Cheers for all the help guys, you've been amazing!

I formated and wiped all the data i could from the phone itself and the from recovery. Lucky you were right about me being far away from bricking it completely.
Since I firstly unmounted my sd card from my phone settings, it didnt get recognised at all. I couldnt mount it again. So i formatted it with windows, then in recovery made a backup image despite the phone being stuck in bootloop. That allowed me to finally access my sd card for some reason.
Then as you all suggested, i just needed to reflash everything, including recovery using fastboot.
Bit of a strange scenario really
Lesson learned ? :
1.) If youre going to start from scratch then start in Recovery;
2.) wipe all partitions (twice)
3.) enable USB drive and transfer new ROM to SD Root
4.) flash new ROM

hi lachy92, by formatted all the data, you mean wipe data/factory reset in the recovery? coz i have same problem with you, i tried to install new rom from the recovery, but the recovery always shows cant open sd card, installation aborted, can you help me pliz
4.2.2 on a rooted, unlocked One X
I was using Minitools Partition, with the device mounted to PC, in CWM, I followed some fairly simple instructions, which called for me to delete the original partition (25GB) which I did, I then set 3GB Ex2 (for apps to sd card) and the rest 22GB FAT32. THat all seemed to work fine.
BUT now I am now being asked to "type encryption password" every time I boot the phone, what format should the SD card be? Have I got the partitions wrong? SD card will no longer mount in recovery, plus I cant get pass this screen (password request) when turned on. The ROM is loading, to request this password, its happening after the X, perhaps my instructions where wrong from the beginning?
These are the ones I used,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/SD_card_partitioning
Things I have tried,
1 changing the format and partitions of sd card, to everything you can think of (eg 2GB FAT, 1GB Ex2, 21GB FAT32)
2 Wipe data/ factory reset, in recovery
3 Flashed boot.img to device, in bootloader.
4 fastboot format userdata, in bootloader (something i read in a thread)
3 Factory reset, in bootloader.
Nothing, the ROM still loads, up until this screen with an option for emergency calls, dialer does appear so ROM is fine? CWM works fine, however as you might expect I cant mount SD card in recovery and needless to say I just cant get passed this password request screen.. I feel like if I try and wipe system and flash the ROM again, ill just come up against the same problem, or worse just brick my device, as I cant load any Zip files.... which has only just dawned on me, any ideas people?
many thanks
Tim.
I have the same issue on my HTC ONE XL ATT ... but my phone randomly rebooted and when it turned on it got to DECRYPT STORAGE, i didnt even do anything... and i really dont feel like re-installing my rom ... idk what to do exactly now. i can boot up into recovery and access all my files but i dont know what happened...
same issue here with galaxy nexus after installing 4.2.2, ive tried odin, fastboot, everything but after the phone reboots loads the same os and it reboots a few seconds later.
So, I have an N7100. I have rooted my phone a few times. The last time was over a year ago and it worked fine. Yesterday, suddenly (I haven't attempted to flash anything) it restarted on its own and won't boot. I tried to go into the TWRP recovery I had installed over a year ago, but TWRP will only load for a second and then disappear and the phone would restart again and go into the bootloop. As a result, I can't wipe cache partition.
I can confirm that I can connect successfully to ODIN and flash a different version of TWRP. I have failed to flash CWM so far... maybe I couldn't find a correct version since my phone has knox???
I tried flashing a different kernel, but that didn't work either. Do I need a specific kernel?
The only thing I need to do is recover my files, whether it is through recovering the phone, or accessing the internal storage.
Can someone please help me? I don't want to do a complete wipe.
And in case this is relevant, my ROM is the custom OMEGA rom, I'm not sure which version though. Either 31, or 26, which is either for android 4.3 or 4.4.2.
Thanks
Hey,
I have the same problem, the phone just restarted on it's own yesterday, restarted again and is now stuck at the bootlogo.
Wiping Cache and Dalvik on it's own doesn't suffice, Wiping the system partition too (TWRP) gets the phone to boot, but it will restart again after a couple of minutes, again stuck at the boot logo.
I'm using the limbean ROM.
shadnixx, wiping the system partition does not mean that you're going to loose your data - you should try that, after the factory reset the phone is usable for a couple of minutes, I will now try to flash a newer ROM and gapps, maybe the problem will go away with that.

Thanks for replying. I can't wipe the partition. That requires that I get into recovery, right? I can't even get into recovery. TWRP loads for just 1 second and then the phone reboots.

have you tried to reinstall TWRP recovery? Maybe yours is corrupted, try to flash the latest version again. If that help you boot in recovery, things will be easier to haddle after.

@shadnixx Well use every possible way to flash and enter custom recovery. Try Philz, TWRP, CWM, everything...
If everything fails you'lll have to reflash Stock ROM using Odin. I've heard is wipes data but not internal storage but I'm not sure and don't balme me if it happens. Search xda a little.
See these threads: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2583588
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1121817
If that fails then the phone has hardware damage I think. Needs to go to service.

Thanks for your reply. That's what I'm trying to do. One question... do I have to have a specific CWM version that is compatible with my ROM?
Progress
OK, while flashing TWRP failed to help, flashing Philz Touch enabled me to get into recovery. I was able to mount the external SD card and browse the files, but the real problem is with the internal storage, since the SD card is removable. I couldn't manage to mount it. Can someone help with that?
Wiping the cache partition didn't help either.
You tried different tar versions of twrp?
What is the error message in Odin when trying to flash twrp?
Tried flashing twrp with different USB cables and USB ports?

I'm sad to report, after I wiped the cache and restarted my phone, Philz would behave like TWRP did, which is to load for 1 second then reboot. Yes, I tried 4 different versions of TWRP, same result. Odin doesn't give any errors. It says that flashing was successful. Tried different cables and ports too, yes.
Possible power button or battery problem?

Don't think so. I just replaced the battery... still same problem. And when I enter Odin "Download" mode, it doesn't keep restarting, so I don't think it's the power button.
I got a small update though...
Flashed another version of philz, which works every time I boot to recovery. A few problems though...
1. I can wipe cache partition, no problem. But When I try to wipe Dalvik, the phone reboots as soon as I try.
2. Aroma file explorer doesn't show any files.
3. I can mount external SD, but I can't mount internal storage
4. When using ADB, it could finally initiate pulling files from the internal storage (or that's what it appears to be doing), but only while on recovery mode. A few seconds after it says "listing files" or something, the phone reboots and the ADB operation aborts. It doesn't behave like this when I access other sections of philz recovery.
Any thoughts?
Another small update...
While using philz, I clicked the "install zip from sdcard" and it showed my folders. I think my files are intact, but I guess I can't be certain.
Small update again...
I flashed Aroma File Explorer from Philz, I managed to enter my internal storage browse around for a bit, but then the phone rebooted again. I tried to repeat so I could copy my internal storage, but now my internal storage says symlink error.

Listen up - Transfer any ROM to your external SD card, touchwiz based to avoid any complications if you can.
When you get into recovery (at least on TWRP 3 on my Galaxy Note 2 LTE this works) you can connect your phone to PC and transfer all the files, it just gets recognised.
If that fails then wipe /data and /cache partition and see if it boots. If that fails/succeeds then try to flash new ROM and wipe /data and see if it will boot. Data is not the same as internalSD. Data is your apps and settings, you can reinstall that later. InternalSD is your pictures and all. You want your pictures, not your apps, right? It is different.
But who knows what happened here. Malware? Corrupt partition? Hardware failure of some kind? Don't blame me if flashing a new ROM breakes everything even more.

I'll try that, thanks.
Guys, here's my problem:
I tried to install LineageOS and GApps, everything went fine. Before that I wiped System/data/cache/dalvik, kept internal storage (cause I don't have any SD cards) But then I tried to boot to system, and it just boots to HTC logo and back to TWRP. But now TWRP asks me about decryption, and there are none backups/ROMs in internal storage for some reason (I didn't wipe it)
So, what can I do now? How can I place ROM/Backup on my phone?
Thank you in advance.

To get a rom back on your phone, you're gonna need to use the adb sideload whilst in twrp.
Hello everyone,
i just got a 7105 from a friend to try and fix it, and i'm must say i'm amazed, internal storage/ data/ cache/ reads 0mb, it fails to mount everything, but i can access twrp recovery.
tried pit reformatting trough Odin, no success.
can i get some light on how to Reformat every partition something like forced formatting?
i'm willing to try everything, since the phone is as good as a brick now
Thanks
Is it the sudden death problem? mine Note 2 have this too it cant read anything and cannot install roms. Only boot to recovery and bootloader

The same happened to me once. Just go to twrp recovery >wipe>advanced wipe>select internal storage>repair partition>change file system>ext4 .
Do the file change for every single partition there (not every partition will get file system changed)
And done .. Now flash a rom and you are good to go. (Also dont mess with ext sdcard)
Press thanks if helped

Nope mine is confirmed dead by a technician and the people on XDA that my motherboard is broken so it reads 0mb and needs replacement, anyway i had moved on to Note 4 and huawei p9 plus now, fixing the note 2 is just not worth it.
