I was trying to flash ecliptic ROM from PACMAN Rom and got a status 7 error during installation, the problem is that I had already erased my cache, data, and system before flashing. I cannot flash any roms without error messages now and whenever I try to format my system,cache, or data I get the error:
E:Unable to mount 'system'
E:Unable to mount '/cache'
Can anyone help me please? I have tried using clockworkmod recovery and every time I attempt to format it just freezes indefinitely.
Reboot recovery when you get in to recovery. There are some ROMs that the only way to flash them is to reboot the recovery.

Did you just recently flash your current recovery? Sounds like you need to reflash your recovery, and make sure your using the correct one for the m7. Which recovery and version are you currently on?
Status 7 refers to either an error in the rom zips updater-script, or the rom zips updater-binary is not compatibe with your current recovery.
boot into recovery mode.

So , I was helping my buddy out with his Roger branded HTC One M8... He had the latest OTA, unlocked the bootloader, installed a custom recovery, and finally tried to flash ARHD 10.2.....
ARHD won't flash because it says it's a corrupt .ZIP.....
The Backup we made before flashing, recovers, then reboots back into recovery ( fails )
Any other ROM also says corrupt .ZIP...
Have never had an issue like this before, and I have no idea what to do from this point on....
Already tried recovering the backup & flashing a different ROM.
I can't find the RUU for the latest rogers ROM ( Firmware 2.23.631.2 ) so I haven't tried to flash a stock ROM.... Can you install a stock ROM from before the OTA, if you did the OTA? Or will that just lead to more issues?
Any help would be greatly appreciated! ( PHONE MODEL M8_UL )
What recovery and what version?
My first hunch would be fastboot erase cache, and re-flash recovery using fastboot. Often clears up lots of flashing issues like this. Also make sure you are using an up to date version of recovery.
Also, you can try to put the ROM on a different location such as the removeable SD and flash from there.

Rogers often does not issue RUUs, so I would not be surprised if this is the case for the M8 as well. Although I personally can't say, as its not my carrier.

That version is 2 iterations old.
But just might be a bad recovery install, it happens (and as you mentioned, or works on your phone, so why not your buddy's?). adb erase cache and install newest TWRP (2.7.1.0).

Did you fastboot erase cache before installing TWRP, as I suggested?

the log got me thinking, after updating TWRP and then clearing the cache the mounting issue seemed wierd, so I tried sideloading to sdcard0 after clearing the cache once more then installing from sideload.zip on sdcard0, which entered the ARHD install GUI. so now I just need a confirmation on whether installing from sdcard0 is dangerous as a reformat mid install will erase the zip im trying to install from. soft brick is bad enough, really want to avoid an expensive paperweight.
I'm still in the menu, waiting for more seasoned minds to respond before I go through with it.

Dear All,
Looking for help with upgrading SM-N900T to Android 10
This is what is done
1. Installed twrp-3.4.0-1-hlte.img.tar using Odin3_v3.13.1
2. Copied Havoc-OS-v3.7-20200717-hltetmo-Official.zip to SD card
3. Using TWRP wiped out Dalvik/ART Cache, Data, System, Cache
4. Using TWRP tryied to install Havoc-OS-v3.7-20200717-hltetmo-Official.zip
5. Receive the following:
... Patching system image unconditionally...
E1001: Failed to update system image.
Updater process ended with ERROR: 7
Error installing zip file ... Havoc-OS-v3.7-20200717-hltetmo-Official.zip
Updating partition details...
... done
Before I wiped out the phone, I realized that fastboot does not see the device, however adb does. Now the device is seen by the PC only with Odin. The phone does not appear in Windows Explorer.
I would greatly appreciate any help.
Long story short, read the previous thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...-product-vendor-odm-invalid-argument.4431903/
After succesfully installing the fastboot rom via Mi Flash, the phone is still in a bootloop. Tried flashing TWRP via fastboot command (fastboot boot twrp.img) but it can't decrypt the /data partition with the correct passcode anymore. after a reboot in recovery, the /cust partition also can't be mounted anymore, with error "Structure needs cleaning".
I do not have a backup of my system nor data partition, nor internal storage, so i absolutely need it to work again without wiping/formatting the data partition
EDIT: after flashing the fastboot rom again via mi flash and twrp via fastboot command, the cust error disappears but twrp still can't decrypt /data
EDIT: i decided to do a full wipe of my internal memory and the phone works again. this thread should be closed.
