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?

Can't install iron rom 3.1 because of
"Failed mount /system(invalid argument)". After clicking install in AROMA, there is failed mount /system and formatting system...
After I see formatting system tablet boots only to recovery and dw mode.
Tried to reinstall firmware and TWRP. Nothing
Solved! Just changed to F2FS then to ext4 via twrp
TLDR; I have a twrp backup of my zenfone2 at a working state, but sim cards are not detected or unable to unlock after restore
Hi all,
I was trying to restore a TWRP backup (twrp-3.1.1-0-Z00A.img) of my lineageos install (lineage-14.1-20170721-nightly-Z00A-signed.zip) and /config was not restoring (error: "Unable to wipe config."),
so I ended up doing "fastboot erase config" to force the restore, which didn't help and might have been a mistake ...
(the real error after looking at the twrp logs is: "error: build_default_directory_structure: cannot lookup security context for /config/lost+found" / "Unable to wipe config.")
At first I restored /config by hand extracting the backup file (config.ext4.win) on my computer and using cp in twrp terminal, but android was crashing as soon as I inserted a sim card (permissions / selinux problems I guess)
I tried some chown / chmod / restorecon but no luck
I then reflashed stock rom (tried multiple recent versions, Android L and M, using adb sideload) but no luck
I used the "Unlock Device App" but my bootlooder was not locked while reflashing stock rom.
I'm now running lineageos again, I was able to restore /config using "rm -rf" option in twrp, but I either don't see the sim cards, or the phone is unable to unlock them
looking at logcat, the phone is looping trying to flash the modem (https://pastebin.com/zBnjtW1v)
I haven't try Asus Flash Tool and "raw" firmware, would it help ? (I don't have a windows machine handy, only linux / mac)
Any recommended stock version I should try?
To sum up I have a TWRP backup at a know good state (but don't know if the backup is good as it's the first time I try a restore ...),
a zenfone with non working sim cards (working in an other phone), and I would like to make it work again
Thanks
Etienne
Now flashed WW_ZE551ML_4.21.40.223_20161216.raw using Asus Flash Tool (https://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone2/general/z008-z00a-z00d-z00x-raw-fw-collection-t3448966)
but still no sim cards
Can someone share a dd dump of /config partition of a Z00AD?
Thanks
Etienne
Found some errors in the logcat:
08-06 21:02:21.683 263 1603 D : (NVM_1) OpenNvmBinFiles - NOTICE: Error in opening /config/telephony/1//calib.nvm
08-06 21:02:21.683 263 1603 D : (NVM_1) InitNvmModule - Error opening the NVM file
If someone can share /config permissions on their zenfone2 (permissions / owner / group / selinux)
Thanks

kindly PM me your serial number i will send you config files
Same problem hefe !!!!
Hi,
it took me a lot of flashing and tries, but what fixed it was (I think):
0) make a full backup of your phone with TWRP (all partitions)
1) flash latest stock version (UL-Z00A-WW-4.21.40.352-user.zip)
at this point sim card where not working, I was seeing selinux error (avc: denied ...) for process mmgr (looking with adb logcat)
2) reunlock the phone if needed and install latest TWRP
3) in TWRP, mount all partitions, then go to the terminal
4) list selinux permissions for everything in /config
ls -RZ /config
take notes on a paper, we need to restore them later
5) change selinux permissions using
chcon -R -t config_file /config
(found this looking at /file_contexts file, line "/config(/.*)? ubject_r:config_file:s0")
6) reboot in the stock rom and wait (looking at logcat it seemed to recalibrate itself),
at some point (maybe 5min) it asked me for sim pin \o/
7) reinstall lineageos (in my case restore backup except /config)
8) change the selinux permissions of /config back to what they were (step 4)
9) reboot in lineage os and wait again (it took maybe 5 min for the phone to ask the sim card pin)
Hope this work for you
Fastboot erase config....
After that I stucked at boot logo
Used xfstk then aft but stucked at boot used fastboot commands for flashing system all gonna smooth but stucked at boot...
Used recovery to sideload marshmallow ... succeed. But also stucked at boot ..unlock boot loader flash TWRP flashing custom rom also stucked at boot logo... PLZZ help me guyzzz
And it shows error in TWRP
Unable:to mount Config(invalid argument)
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!
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
Updating partition details...
Failed to mount '/system_root' (Block device required)
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
Unable to mount storage
Failed to mount '/system_root' (Block device required)
E:Unable to open /system_root
Full SELinux support is present.
Unable to mount /data/media/TWRP/.twrps
Unable to mount /data/media/TWRP/.twrps
Failed to mount '/system_root' (Block device required)
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…
