[Q] Mount Internal Storage in Recovery? topic

Hey guys, I am running Philz Touch Recovery on my i9507 and was wondering if there was a way to mount internal storage while inside recovery? I tried going to the Mounts and Storage menu but the only option there is for External SD Card and I don't have an microSD card in my device, only using the internal storage.
Thanks

Unable to mount /data and storage topic

I'm having a bit of an issue with my SM-P900. I rooted using Odin 3.9, installed TWRP 2.7, and then tried to install custom rom. The custom room (Link Here) But, I noticed something a bit strange while it was installing, it was unable to mount cache, data, etc, but it showed to be successful so I didn't think anything of it. I tried to boot into it, got past the initial Samsung screen, but then afterwards it was just black. I reflashed TWRP 2.7 but nothing happened. I also tried reflashing a stock rom I found using Odin 3.9 which let my device go past the initial samsung screen and into the second one(the one with the sound) but it just hung there. I booted back into TWRP and found that now only data and storage are unable to mount.

I've been searching all day, and I'm stuck. Does anyone have any idea how to fix this?

[Q] Cannot mount /sd-ext at boot topic

Hi,

I have managed to root my E3 Dual D2212, upgraded to KK 4.4.4, installed BusyBox, Universal init.d and everything works fine. Now I am attempting to expand internal storage on external SD card, but so far I could no manage to mount /sd-ext at boot.

I am able to remount / as rw, manually mkdir /sd-ext, mannually mount /dev/block/mmcblk1p2 there, but no way to make it happen on boot. Nandroid Backup Manager says my device is S-ON, but I had to unlock bootloader to root, so this makes no sense.

I have tried all init.d scripts I have found, all apps from PlayStore (I am looking to Mounts2SD, but anything would do!) but none really helped me.

Has anybody managed to use adittional sd-card partitions to expand internal memory? Any hint?:confused:

[Q] Magnetic car mount causes screen to turn off topic

I have the Logitech [+] drive magnetic mount in my truck. When I attach the Nexus 6 to the mount, the screen turns off. If I try to turn the screen on while the phone is magnetically attached to the mount, the screen will immediately turn off. As soon as I remove the phone from the mount, the screen will come on. Does anybody know if there is a setting that controls this behavior or any kind of work around (i.e. Tasker, etc) so the screen will stay on when attached to the mount? I would like to use the phone for navigation, but that is obviously out of the question unless I use a non-magnetic mount or just leave the phone loose in the console, which neither option is preferable to the ease of the magnetic mount. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks

After mtkrepartition - phone stuck boot logo - PLZ help!! Cant mount errs CWM topic

Hi all, so my haipai mtk6589 phone had terrible internal storage.. I made a cm backup (using v 5.5 <- is that an issue?), ran the app, selected 2.5gb because I have 780 phone and internal sd was app 2gb..

anyway - after that i tried wiping the data and cache partitions, fact reset and then when tried to restore my backup, i got cant mount cache errors etc. Ive been trying to crack this all day and my brain hurts.

thankfully i can still get into cwm.. I followed this guide https://www.google.co.za/url?sa=t&rc...85076809,d.d24

and after getting countless errors, finally managed to get my mmcblk0 setup like his. I kept getting no disk label errors, and stuff like "you cant have a partition outside the disk" etc -whats odd is when using parted - the partition show as 3.8gb, which is odd because i always only had about 780mb internal and 1.9 on internal sd card -

ANyway - im still getting the errors:

E: cant mount /cache/recovery/command
E: cant mount /cache/recovery/log
E: cant mount /cache/recovery/log
E: cant mount /cache/recovery/last_log

im not totally sussed on exactly how the android fs works, but i am able to access phone via adb..

Parted shows this:

Welcome to GNU Parted! Type 'help' to view a list of com
(parted) print
print
print
Model: MMC MMC04G (sd/mmc)
Disk /dev/block/mmcblk0: 3780MB

2 3230MB 3730MB 500MB primary ext4
3 3730MB 3780MB 50.2MB primary linux-swap(v1)


Any ideas? im stuck and can go no further, ive tried countless things but going in circles..

fyi the backup rom i have installed/worked fine 2 days ago when i tested another rom - so im sure i dont have external sdcard issues or corruption...


thanks guy

TWRP does not mount encrypted storage: Password failed topic

Hi there,

I recently installed XZDualRecovery on my device and activated the encrytion of internal storage. Unfortunately, TWRP is unable to mount the encrypted internal storage. It always fails with the error message "Password failed, please try again". The password is correct though.
Has anyone experienced the same problem and solved it? I couldn't find any solution for this.

Thanks in advance!

[Q] Gnex Brick Mount Fastbood Write Fail help :'( topic

Hi everybody,
ok I will try to make this short :)

I have an experienced user level ROM, recovery, boot, ..
My phone is BRICKED! Is it?

AT THE MOMENT:
- I get into fastboot mode
- I get into odin downloading mode
- I can't start in recovery mode
- I can't start bootloader mode
- I have a connection with a laptop (win XP, as win8.1 didnt work for me)
- The computer can communicate with the phone in fastboot mode
- The computer cant communicate with the phone in Odin mode (at the moment Odin PC SoftWare doesn't recognize the phone)
- I am sure the drivers are installed correctly now. Thanks to the guide with fully stripped drivers.

- Using different, multiple different, no thousand different methods I tried flashing the stock OS (Yakju 4.3)
- I like SkipSoft Android ToolKit (Although I used fastboot and adb commands, I find the toolkit to do the same thing..)
- I always get an Error, when the process of flashing starts.
> PC says : Error
> Phone (in fastboot mode) says: FAILWrite Fail

INTERESTING:
- While I still was able to get into Recovery, the phone couldnt mount the sdcard (=> the internal drive)
- Some of the methods I use make the phone CRASH
> means the screen stops at its position and slowly turns completely purple
- The phone power button doesnt start the phone, to get the phone doing something at all I have to trick it:
..> I plug it into the wall charger
..> I take the battery out
..> I put the battery back in
..> I wait
..> I can get into 3 routines:
^Normal starting routine (of course stuck at google start up, since no Rom is installed)
^fastboot mode (VOL + & - & Power)
^odin mode (VOL - & Power)
..> Then I can just plug the USB cable into the PC
- 2 days ago I had (every single version) of Odin PC Software recognizing the phone (phone was in Odin mode), but it also failed after trying the recommended and unrecommended settings. Ended with an error message.

HOW:
I left my phone overnight in the car (Temp: -2 deg C), while Im sure spotify and maybe other consuming apps were playing.
Next day, my phone battery was empty and I couldnt start my normal ROM. (I had Slim Rom installed)
It was stuck at the "Google" start up display.
First intentions showed that it might be more than just the Software :/
Many days and so many hours of work, research and reading in forums, I decided to take a shot and ask here.
I appreciate everything xda-members have done for me already. Though I never needed to register for my earlier questions.

[Q] unable to mount + internal storage 0mb + stuck in hboot topic

Background :
Rooted phone and installed Cyanogen rom, then installed PackMan rom then HTC Google Edition rom. Everything was working perfect for a year.
The phone was always in protective silicon case and didn't give me any problems.

Problem :
Without installing any new application or change any settings or anything other then normal daily use. One day, out of the blue (didnt fell or anything), the screen wouldn’t turn on, but the screen touch buttons at bottom would lite up.
Did hard reset but then it kept getting stuck or screen again and again, the screen wouldn’t turn on, kept doing more and more and more hard resets. Sometimes after hard reset it would get to the “slide to unlock” screen and once i would unlock it would get stuck, so more hard resets.
Then after the 10th ~ hard reset it seemed to rollback on its own to the factory rom without my apps and contacts. But still get stuck and more hard resets. After the 13th ~ hard reset it got stuck on the green HTC logo with white background.

TWRP shows E: Unable to mount '/cache'
E: Unable to mount '/data'
E: Unable to mount '/system'
E: Unable to mount '/cache'
E: Unable to mount internal storage
and Internal Storage 0MB

Current status:
Booting directly to hboot menu and nothing else.
Fastboot is working
ADB and ADB Shell is working
Booting into TWRP command : fastboot boot openrecovery-twrp-2.8.3.0-m7.img
Booting into philz command : fastboot boot philz_touch_6.15.4-m7ul.img
I’m not able to get to the RUU mode (black screen with silver HTC logo) !

flashing recovery twrp and then selecting recovery at the hboot menu will not get into twrp. only
fastboot boot openrecovery-twrp-2.8.3.0-m7.img
will get me into twrp

[Q] can't mount system, data, cache problem topic

Hi

I'm a Sensation user in Korea and I have a big problem with it.
I tried to change a ROM so I rebooted my phone into recovery mode. It had no problem before but suddenly my Sensation couldn't flash ROM's since it cannot mount system,data,and cache.
I tried to use RUU because I thought it could solve that problem, but it couldn't solve my problem either. The RUU stops at 23 percent for more than 10 minutes and thanks for that, my phone cannot go into recovery mode or
bootloader mode.

Is there any solutions for fixing this phone? In my country not many people uses HTC so I couldn't have the answer.
Plz help me

Mount warning topic

Anyone having issues with links2sd on cm 12 , every time I boot tab up I have to do a quick reboot because the 2nd partition on the sdcard doesn't mount, but after the quick reboot it does.

Is there a fix for this, wonder is it problem with linkss2sd app or what?

[Q] oops! I've made a mess ...... topic

M7 was badly misbehaving. Couldn't install apps from the drawer (to the home page) or from the home page directly. I get the vibration feedback and that's it.
There have been other issues as well.
I'd been on the OTA 4.4.3, but some app must have poisoned the phone.
In any case formatted data and wiped caches.
Have TWRP 2.8.02 installed. Unlocked and rooted.
I can get to TWRP or Fastboot with no issues.
But Sideload, push nor fastboot will take my OTArom.zip.

FAILED (remote: 24 parsing android-info fail) was the error from Fastboot flash zip rom.zip
sideload seemed to pass the rom but got "' error in binary update"' in a couple secs after the sideload is done.

I'd rather install OEM instead of a TWRP back-up that is loaded with apps that might have caused the issues. But so far ......

I'm on a Mac so I can't run .exe.

thanks.

[Q] Why Doesn't USB otg Mount in TWRP? topic

I have a sandisk USB thumb drive going to a USB OTG cable to my Note 3, and it works fine. However, When I boot to TWRP it doesn't work. The USB OTG option isn't there, and if I click on the 'USB' option the box next to it remains unchecked. I am on the latest version of TWRP, and running CM11.


Any ideas would be great.

Recovery can't mount /system S5 bricked topic

TWRP can't mount /system. Phone is a SM-G900T 16GB
- Running the latest version of TWRP I tried:
- Wiping, repairing, and reformatting from TWRP, also tried formatting data. I get a unable to mount '/system' error message every time.
- Using Odin and Heimdall to reformat using a downloaded .pit, neither works. I ran Heimdall in Windows and Linux (ran as sudo and admin). I re-downloaded the .pit multiple times and tried a couple different sources.
- Installing CWM using Heimdall, and ADB. In ADB and Heimdall I still have TWRP and in Odin it removes the recovery completely.
- Fix permissions gives the unable to mount '/system' error message.
- Installing ROM from Heimdall and TWRM
- Mounting /system with or without MTP

How it happened:
I was running Cyanogenmod 11 with encryption and updated to 12. CM12 was running great, flashed GApps, still running good. I signed in to my Google account and downloaded IPcamera. While running IPcamera I got an email, the screen started going crazy flashing between the alert and IPcamera screen, I couldn't do anything so I pulled the battery. When I rebooted it was stuck in a boot loop. I booted into recovery, it asked for my encryption password as usual. The password didn't work. I tried several times. I rebooted and tried again, still nothing. I rebooted again and this time hit cancel when asked for the password. I wiped everything and got the can't mount /system error. I tried everything above, nothing works.

I can't download my .pit so there is more wrong than just the data partition.

Any ideas? I would love this thing to no longer be a really expensive paperweight. I really can't afford to replace this thing right now :(

Thanks for your help.
