While installing anything from TWRP I'm always getting
"Failed to mount /system root /vendor /product (no such file or directory)" message
Already tried too fix it by changing the file system to EXT2 and back. Seems like it has sth to do with "section super" access rights or sth like that.
I'm not really sharp with stuff like that so I'm hoping someone bright minded could help. Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the answer!
Don't wanna sound stupid but what does it mean exactly. What should i do?
Is there such an option in TWRP that i don't know of? Is it the "Disable MTP" button? If so i can't mark these exact 3 to change them
PROBLEM SOLVED!
I reinstalled vanilla ROM and tried again with OrangeFox Recovery in which i had unmount options. It worked!

Hello everyone, I'm sure that this has been asked quite a few times but after trying for hours & hours I finally decided that I'll get some help
I'm using a Rogers GS3.
So I have the Rogers Stock ROM installed, which is: root66_RWC_I747MVLDLK4 (That's JB4.1).
& the latest CWM flashed(recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.3.0-d2tmo) which works quite great!
CWM mounts & shows the files on my external sd without a hitch but what it doesn't mount is the internal sd, it's the common error (When I try to view files to install it says; E: Can't mount /sdcard & when I try to manually mount it; Error mounting /sdcard).
Please, any help is appreciated.
Thanks a lot in advance!
Cheers!
so when you go to "install zip from sdcard" -> "choose zip from sdcard" you dont see any of your sd cards contents?
the "mount /sdcard" option under Mounts and Storage is for external sdcard

Yeah that's right, when I go to "install zip from sdcard" it doesn't show me any files & instead it gives me the error; E: Can't mount /sdacrd.
& well actually there are 2 options under Mounts & Storage, one Mount /sdacrd & the other Mount /ext_sdcard; the latter doesn't give me an error but the Mount /sdacrd does give me the error; Error Mounting /sdcard

Same think happened to me I was using twcr so I tried using cwm and its working fine. Downloaded through ROM manager, fixed the issue but I would rather have twcr

Haha I think I figured out what's wrong, quite dumb, but thanks to TWRP is how I figured it out.
What was happening was CWM was not able to even access my sdcard because I had encrypted it lol but luckily TWRP has an option to decrypt it & then access it so it got mounted & everything but for some reason I couldn't install any custom ROM from TWRP itself(tried 3 but none of them worked for me;CM,AOKP & Liquid). But now since that I know the problem, I'm just reinstalling the Rogers stock ROM & then going to try CWM again to flash a custom ROM.
Will update soon!

Crap!! The worst ever thing just happened! When I reinstalled the stock Rogers ROM & restarted the phone, the password screen before the phone boots is still there BUT now it's not the password that I've set before, I'm guessing the factory reset reset that as well!! Ahhhhhh!!!
Any ideas on the default S3 encryption password lol? I tried the obvious one(i.e; 12345, 1234, 000, 00000, 1111, 11111, samsung) But no luck! Omg! This is bad lol!
Please if anyone knows a work around this, let me know because this is messed up! :/
Phew, fixed it, lol, just another factory reset through the built in recovery mode fixed it! That was close! I was scared to death haha!
Alright so I finally managed to install CyanogenMod 10.1 on the Rogers I747M! Woohoo!
Why it wasn't installing earlier was because the CyanogenMod is made for d2att devices but the I747M is d2mtr so it was failing that test & wouldn't go any further. Fo rfuture reference for anyone I guess:
1. Make sure that your sdacrd is not encrypted before trying to install any ROM except when using Odin.
2. There is a line on CryanogenMod that needs to be deleted for it to be installed on any I747M device, open the CyanogenMod zip file & go to /META-INF/com/google/android/ & open the updater script using a text editing software (i.e. Notepad) & delete all the lines before the first mount line.
& with that CyanogenMod will work without a hitch on the I747M!
Thanks & cheers Cyanogen team!

The unable to mount usb storage bit has nothing to do with it - you can safely ignore that message (unless you are trying to mount some sort of usb storage to your phone, which most people aren't trying to do). As for the failed flash - perhaps redownload the zip? It could have been a bad download - I would start there anyway

Thanks for the help. I was just curious on if it meant the wiping etc was not working. I downloaded another ROM an it worked flawlessly.
Hey guys, I had a similar problem, my sd card mounts and shows as active but I can't download anything through aptoide and I've stayed getting read write errors from evernote. I've tried formating the card unmounting it. And can't get it to work. Any idea?
Guys im really stuck in this problem and need help ASAP
Hi there!
A year ago, I messed up in installing Omnirom and LVM on my Find 7a and I've been left with 2.95GB of internal storage since. The rest of my internal storage is corrupt and is now called SD Card/lvm2pv. See attached screenshot..
So I detailed what I did on post 1325 here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/fi...ilds-7a-7s-t3237065/post66783345#post66783345
But basically, when installing it looks like I wiped something by accident as I followed a ROM guide that said to wipe Dalvik Cache, System, Data, Cache.
Here's what it says in TWRP when installing a zip/backing up:
Creating Android Secure: /internal_sd/.android_secure
Failed to mount '/internal_sd' (No such device)
I:Actual block device: '/dev/block/mmcblk0p29', current file system: 'LVM2_member'
Unable to recreate and-sec folder.
Failed to mount '/internal_sd' (No such device)
I:Actual block device: '/dev/block/mmcblk0p29', current file system: 'LVM2_member'
I:Unable to mount '/internal_sd'
I want to get my 12GB of storage back but I'm not sure what's wrong or what I need to do to solve the problem.
I've looked extensively online and it seems some people have had similar problems:
(such as post 8 in here https://forum.xda-developers.com/fi...rom-dirty-unicorns-6-0-1-7s-08-05-16-t3434120 )
but no sure solutions.
I found this guide: http://community.oppo.com/en/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=44896
But people were commenting under it saying it had bricked their phones so I'm going to give that one a miss I think.
I've spent all day looking for a solution to this but to no avail. I swear I've trawled!!
Does anybody know what's wrong or what I could do to fix it?
I could run the unbricker tool but that seems overkill.
Try this Omni Patch first:
https://mega.nz/#!Iw5FHJID!tAbrqXIkgxNqiPO0yQDsJnXeYYOlHFxM6BK5CqumFzI
If it doesnt work, try this Second:
https://mega.nz/#!NsAz1DxJ!vtO22hWN_r_gcjP_abeiRhoBcHoJ2W8Mopq2Q0aE03E
If all fail, go here and start it over:
http://community.oppo.com/en/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=23067&extra=
Then go to Settings -> Storage -> Erase.
Side note: Stay away from Omni Rom, they give the Find 7a BSOD here and there

What is this unified-storage-patch you link to? Is it... uhhh.. safe?
And if that doesn't work it looks like I'll be rolling the dice with the unbricker tool.. oh well..

No, it is not safe. It triggers some self destruct IC inside the Find 7a, and makes it explode just like the Note 7, hahaha :laugh:
Oh, I almost forgot, before using the unbricker, this LVM setup and LVM remover may help:

I hear all phones with the number 7 in the name have that curious IC that spontaneously combusts alright!
But flashing that omni-6.0.1-find7-unified-storage-patch .zip file won't brick the phone will it?
Or am I at the stage where I need to throw crap at the wall enough times to see what sticks? :silly:
And isn't the omni-6.0.1-find7-unified-storage-patch something to do with Chinese partition? I'm trying to understand it but I'm struggling....

No, you're at the stage where you need to trust someone, flashing some craps onto the phone until it's fixed

Thanks for all the help. I'll post a guide/what I did, in the next few days when I get time.
What ROM do you recommend though if not Omni? I'm looking for simplicity with good battery life!
Guys, I'm having a tough time deleting a file or two that were recently installed in the root's /product folder and I guess I don't understand what I am doing wrong, or what security is in place to prevent me from doing this. I would greatly appreciate any help or suggestions here. I cannot change permissions to make the folder recursively rw. I first started with Root Explorer and Solid Explorer. Both are capable of changing permissions but failed saying it was a "system folder". I used terminal to setenforce to 0, and tried with su from terminal and could not manually change folder permissions using chmod either. I thought maybe TWRP would be the answer, so I booted recovery and tried mounting the data partition (I think it's on data) and used file manager to browse to the folder, but I cannot see the contents of the folder nor can I delete it. What am I missing here? Is the TWRP mount function busted atm? Last night I reflashed November's update with the -w thinking it might "overwrite" the folder, but there was no joy there either. I do have a couple of TWRP backups of the data folder and that is my next step. Before I apply the December image tonight, I'm going to restore the most recent /data partition backup. There has to be a way to get control of that folder and it's contents but so far it has eluded me.
Cheers and TIA.
As far as I'm aware, the only way currently to write to the product partition is to fastboot flash it. I've went as far as to modify TWRP fstab to mount it in recovery and use the file manager to replace the bootanimation only to have it either never write properly or for it to "correct" itself. Not sure which happened.

I appreciate the response... anything helps. Product is a folder in root also and that is what I am trying to access. Unless there is some kind of symlink linking that product folder to the product partition. I don't know. When I flashed the full image yesterday I would have thought that partition.img (nested in the zipfile) would have been flashed, too. Maybe I can try fastboot formating the product partition. Can't hurt. Thanks again!
Edit: Just found this thread where you also contributed. I'll try to flash that partition with the partition.img and see what happens. I just want to reset it to stock.

I flashed product.img first and it rendered the phone unbootable... corrupt. I then went back into TWRP and wiped system and ran the flash-all script in fastboot and re-rooted. The net result is the product folder is unchanged. Everything is up and running just fine. That folder is just untouchable for me so far. Next I will format data and re-flash. I didn't fully understand what you meant about the custom kernel being the solution but so far EX is not working. May reach out to flar2 and see if he can make some kind of change to his kernel to support mounting this partition? Thanks again.

Yeah I have yet to be able to mount the product image to modify it, but I haven't tried all that much lately. I'm pretty sure it's fixable with a kernel edit but that's beyond my ability, and even if I could I have a 8 year old laptop that wouldn't be able to build it.
What are you trying to accomplish? The bootanimation?

No, I see boot animation in that folder, and yes we all used to use it, but this time it's just an apk from apkmirror that wrote to that system partition (don't ask me how) and now I can't uninstall or update it. com. breel.wallpapers18. I tried to uninstall it using pm uninstall, but it uninstalled it for user 0 so it remains as a system app, and not available to me. I can't uninstall it completely or upgrade... or even use it! It's just a fk'in set of Google live wallpapers I like, but now want to re-set. Waay too much time spent on this so I'm (just about) ready to flush and start over. Every year Google makes it harder for us (fans) to customize our own phones. wtf? Pissed.
As the title says, I can't get TWRP to mount any useful partitions like /system and /data. It seems to be a common problem according to the issues page on GitHub, but does anyone have any kind of workaround for this?

Are you on Android 10? There is no TWRP yet, period. Lots of threads and comments in the actual TWRP thread. Besides that, /system is locked down in 10.
