I was trying to flash a new ROM so i tried to wipe data and cache and delvik cache but each time i try to wipe the phone i says E:Can't mount '/preload'
but i didn't notice the error and installed custom ROM anyway.and now i am stuck at boot screen.
i can still access TWRP manager and download mode but still can't mount '/preload'. I have searched a lot online but no satisfactory thread found.
Detailed help on this topic will be much appreciated.:good:
thanks
I am not sure what would cause the error but the simplest solution may be to flash back to stock, flash TWRP, and re-flash the custom ROM.
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...

but i cant use twrp on my phone because its stuck in bootloop, or what do you mean? (english not my main language)
please give me some proper step by step instructions, i would really apreciate that!
thanks anyway your awesome!
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
It's a lot to read
wow, that is something really helpfull, there is still hope to revive my phone

i fixed recovery mode, so thats already one step further. Oefff @TheSSJ thanks for the help.

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

I need your help please
my phone sometimes reboot automatic, the last get bootloop, and then the phone won't work properly.
Error on /system , /data , / cache, /storage (all of them get message "Invalid argument" but on system "No such file or directory"). Can't take picture of it because that's only my phone.
already doing anything from Google, Youtube, and MI forum. But all of them not work for my phone.
I tried to flash from MI flash and get error "remote: failed to write partition"
what I need to try :
1. Send your TWRP, PBRP, OrangeFox, Batik Recovery . Backup all of them and fresh (just like a new from factory reset) so i just only restore that
2. i need your suggestion what should i do
if all of them doesn't work too, well my last thing is buy a new phone
sorry for my bad English

Redmi 5A (RIVA) Installed CUSROM "Syberia OS 3x" trying to flash Stock ROM via MI FLASH but can't, error like the screenshot
Hi, so I tried to unlock my bootloader and flash twrp, I successfully done those things but after I try to flash a custom rom I had this issue where It keeps giving me this message everytime I try to flash a rom or delete the cache
Failed to mount /cache no such device
I tried to go to mount cache but I can't select cache
I also even try using both twrp and orange fox and they have the same problem.
Now I'm stuck in the recovery and can't even flash a rom because it keeps failing. Can somebody please help me.
I wanted to revert my mi 10t pro back to stock miui, but as I wanted to wipe the data, but I got errors like "E:Unable to decrypt FBE device. Code: 1000" or "Failed to mount '/metadata' (invalid argument) and some more. I was told to change the file system to EXT2 but this got me into a bootloop, where I land in fastboot every time I restart. I can navigate to recovery again tho.
Please help me. Im a bit desperate right now.
Edit: My recovery is twrp.

Just simply download and flash the Apollo's stock Fastboot ROM in fastboot mode
I tried flashing with with this: "apollo_global_images_V13.0.5.0.SJDMIXM_20220704.0000.00_12.0_global_3391fe8ef8"
is that the right version for my phone (bought in Germany)? I dont get an error while flashing but i just is not finishing. Its running for an hour now and still nothing happended. Ill update this if it finishes.
Edit: False alarm: After restarting the pc, i can connect again. But I still dont know what to do now.
I stopped the process after 2 hours and it got worse. In the recovery, i get the same issues as before, but my fastboot menu got replaced by onother one (I just see orange text that says fastboot). With that new fastboot menu I can not connect to my computer anymore.
Solved: I will never touch these Xiaomi tools again. platform-tools is just better and works
How did you solve the problem with the phone that cant connect to pc?
