My nexus s is going through some random bootloop. It won't boot to startup, but it'll only boot to the bootloader/recovery. So, i can't really put anything in my internal memory and flash it. can anyone help me please?

any idea how you got in this state? That might help find the least painful way out of it.
Anyways, if you can get into the bootloader, then you should be able to flash or boot to Clockwork Recovery with the fastboot commands.
Once in Clockwork, you should be okay. ADB is active in Clockwork, so you can push things to the phone that way.
To put something on the sdcard, from within clockwork, go to the mounts menu, then mount the sdcard.
After that adb push whatever it is you want to flash to the sdcard.
I'm guessing you don't have your own nandroid tucked away, but there's a stock GRH78 one in the Development section.
If you did some odd tweak or something, you could possibly just adb commands to undo it. Dalvik and cache wipes wouldn't be a bad idea either.
when i try wiping Dalvik Cache i get this "E: Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 (invalid argument) and also when i try to mount USB storage it doesnt really mount it just takes me back to the recovery page D:. <- thus if i can't mount usb storage i can't really push things in my phone. i think i might've bricked my phone. ;/
If you have an unlocked bootloader you can use this.

This should return you to stock as if nothing ever happened.
Thanks so much. It works now! Woot happy man.
What did you end up doing?

You can mount usb from recovery and just copy and paste whatever you want to your phone.
Guys, need help. I used this way way back (genokolar partition) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1112857 Im planning to go for ICS yesterday, i flash back the official partition, now my phone stuck at IDEOS logo. I tried wiping everything and reflash (tried MIUI,CM7,Elite SX still no luck). I use Miui before flashing the official partition. Im pretty sure i did what the step asked. Flash, no clear/wipe. Stuck at Ideos screen. Then i clear and wipe still the same. Then i go to the pink screen, restore back the original recovery and BOOT files, and flash back the official froyo, error at 2/2 update. I cant mount data in cmw. Tried factory reset in recovery but no luck, got error msg ( Mount data error ) using 4.0.0.5. I cant delete/wipe data.Keep giving me error mount data. Even in official recovery cant mount, got msg ( no such directories,Can't Mount @(or/dev/block/mmcblk0p13 ). Is this the problem ? How can i mount the data back?

Can't mount sd? Go to recovery, take your sd out, and put it back in. If that works, you try flahing the custom partition again (not the original partition). After that, try flashing a rom.
Edit: but try to flash the original again first. Make sure you flash it, reboot recovery, flash it again, reboot recovery, and then flash your rom.

Hey guys,
I recently encrypted my phone for my work e-mails (the Exchange server required it). I made a complete Nandroid backup and also entire Titanium backup before encrypting, just in case something went wrong. But the encryption went beautifully.
However, I've noticed that I cannot mount /sdcard or flash anything from recovery. I can't update my Franco kernel or CM nightlies... It's a bit annoying because I want to keep flashing! lol.
My phone asks for my password everytime I reboot (in order to decrypt sdmount and mount the ROM), so I'm assuming this is the reason I can't mount it in CWM recovery.
Anyone know of a bypass or fix for this?
I don't really feel like restoring nandroid backup or doing a factory reset everytime I want to flash a new nightly, it just doesn't make any sense (besides I haven't even tried to see if I can restore from nandroid or factory resetting, they might not even work because it can't mount /sdcard?...)
I've searched around the forums for some complex solutions such as using ADB or Odin but I'm not interested in that.
Thank you!
UPDATED:
Ok guys so basically restoring from nandroid did not work because of the sdcard mount error.
I did a factory reset, erased all data and format system. But I couldn't format sdcard or even user data as it didn't have access... Basically the phone got bricked from then on and I had to completely restore back to stock bootloader/recovery/stock rom with adb/fastboot. Instructions are found here:
http://forums.androidcentral.com/nex...e-restore.html
Hopefully this will come to use to someone else. I've heard that TWRP does not have this sdcard mount problem with encryption as does CWM, so that's what I installed this second time around.
Why don't you just transfer the files regularly without entering recovery mode?
The recovery doesn't allow mounting to the PC. It just doesn't work.

I've never mounted to PC in recovery. My files are backed up on my computer and nandroid as well.
My issue here is that I can't regularly flash new nightlies (and thus mount internal /sdcard to do so) following the phone encryption.
Since my internal /sdcard path is encrypted with a password, CWM recovery can't bypass this and it gives me the error "cannot mount /sdcard".
bump?
Any help would be highly appreciated!
Is this a lacking feature in CWM Recovery? Have the developers looked in it? Or is there already a fix for this without doing an entire factory reset?
Daily bump.
Anyone there? (echo...)

If you want to recover the data from SD card, you do not use the SD card.
You can try to recover the data from the card with some specific software.
I will try to fin one I used before.
It will take few minutes... do not use the card.

Many thanks, this link helped me restoring my Nexus 4. I enabled "encrypted storage" and wanted to root the phone and almost bricked it.
It's also possible to flash the stock recovery with odin, then do a real factory data reset and be able to install a custom rom, after (or before) which you can reinstall a custom recovery.
So guys, I downloaded the latest CM nightly through the CMupdater app, I rebooted into recovery TWRP 2.6.3.0 at that moment I think, when I tried to flash my update it said "Unable to mount /system" and just stood there, I rebooted into recovery again and tried to mount it from the mounts menu without result.
Next I updated to the latest TWRP but the problem persisted, changed to the latest CWM and that too, is unable to mount /system displaying the message "Error mounting /system!"
I seriously don't want to lose my data as this was a simple update so I didn't make a backup but I don't know what the hell else I'm supposed to do.
Oh and BTW, trying to boot to system leaves me at the Google screen for an indefinite amount of time.
Thanks in advance
Edit:Turns out formatting system doesn't delete my data, I got impatient and did that, problem solved.

So, i just started getting this same error after updating to TWRP 2.8.2.0, I tried wiping the system and still got the error? I downgraded to TWRP 2.8.1.0 and wiped system again, and that seemed to fix the issue. Not sure if it was my own bug or 2.8.2.0 but just wanted to leave feedback for the next person who may be searching for help.
[Q] TWRP backup fails on data partition "E: Unable to stat /data/data/../cache/ .. "
Whenever I try a full nandroid backup in TWRP it always fails once it gets a few hundred files into the data partition. However, it does complete the backup when the data partition isn't selected.
When I first start the backup a bunch of different red error messages come up for various cache files in the data partition.
"E: Unable to stat '/data/data/[variousapp]/cache/[stuff]/[hashvalue?]' "
I've got a rooted T-Mobile Note 3 with Jedi Elite ROM and TWRP 2.8.1.0, however I'm not completely sure that my phone is legitimately rooted. If I try to open the SuperSU app it says "There is no SuperSU binary installed,...", and applications constantly achieve root access then get denied it moments later. Or sometimes the applications achieve root access with no further issues, it's quite random.
Does anyone have any idea what could be going on?
EDIT: It also should be noted that the files in the error messages can be found when using the TWRP file manager, but when using any file manager application with the OS booted the "/data" folder appears empty.
Anyone have any idea?
Thanks
Well.... from the top of my head I would try to do these things:
1) install one of those "check to see if I am rooted" apps and run it.
2) flash a kernel that has been prerooted, i.e.:that it installs the SU binary to the appropriate location.
3) flash one of those .zip packages in twrp that root your phone.
4) check to see if you can make twrp install root for you ( i think when it doesn't detect root binary it offers to do that).
5) reinstall rom only part as a last resort?
Once you restore proper root access you might need to restore proper SELinux labels to /cache /system /data.
Let me know if you get to this part and need specific instructions.
Best of luck

I flashed the latest SuperSU.zip and that ended up fixing root access. The Root Checker app verifies it as well as other applications being granted root access.
I tried flashing CF-Auto-Root in TWRP and it fails.
How do I restore the SELinux labels for those directories?
You caught me on my way to bed but here are the instructions:
From terminal or adb shell
su
ll -Z
(check for any "unlabeled" text for /data /cache /system)
restorecon -Rv /cache
restorecon -Rv /data
mount -o remount,rw /system
restorecon -Rv /system
mount -o remount,ro /system
ll -Z (you should not find any "unlabeled" /cache /data /system)
Let me know how it goes
I tried all those commands from the terminal and it still shows all of the same "Unable to stat" error messages when backing up
The "ll -Z" command, is that supposed to be double pipe or double L? I'd never seen a double L command before so I couldn't get it to work if that's what it is.
Sorry to budge in but I have the same problem too on my oneplus one. Everytime I do something in twrp it saids unable to stat /data/data/com.android.chrome/something I wiped /data and it still does that. I tried to install custom rom and when it starts it saids something is wrong with my system udi and com.android.phone keeps on crashing. So I don't know how I am suppose to fix this. If I format /data I will lose all my pictures,music,apps,etc. since it will wipe /data/media? Any help?
Edit: Upon reading the first post again, I also can't perform nandroid backup because it fails at /data. Which was why I wanted to try different rom and wipe /data to see if it would be fixed.

alright i said screw it and wiped internal storage and it fixed the issue. i had to push ROM onto the new storage through ADB but it seemed to fix the issue.
For anyone who is wondering you need to do a FULL wipe (ie in recovery wipe EVERYTHING including internal storage), then push or mount devices through recovery and put ROM back onto SD card.

I unzipped the 44s Stock ROM and manually flashed each file via adb to it, that cleared up all my problems. I did lose some data, at least at had my apps, messages, and pictures backed up.

I have this same problem with my OPO and I tried a full wipe including internal storage, but the "unable to stat..." problem still persists. Should I try using the "Format Data" option on TWRP instead of just the "Advanced Wipe"? I tried searching online for the difference but I can't really find any information.

So I had my issue on my OPO also, still never confirmed what the actual issue was but after some googling I saw this thread and maybe one more with the same error description.
From TWRP I went Wipe->Advanced Wipe->Clicked ALL boxes.
From what I could tell the issue is actually on the "internal storage" partition which is your emulated SD Card.
I'm not actually sure what the "Format Data" option does tbh I never had to go that far.
Word of warning, make sure you have ADB working and you know how to push files to your phone. You can in theory use the "mount" option from TWRP and connect to a PC as an extendable drive but this functionality is super flaky and is known to not work on occasion.
you don't have to!!!!!!!!!!!
actually i formated it and i was looking for a way to transfer my zip file to internal storage ........... but when i clicked on backup/restore it started to install and booted normally !!!!!!!!!!!!! (by temp boot file)
Sad I am also facing this problem too. At last I have to format everything to get my phone working again, wiping /data does not work, must wipe /data including media.
Internal Storage failure?
This happens to me all the time all of a sudden. I did not change anything at all, except for flashing a new CM version.
I also get a strange stat error, something with google.photo cache.
Yesterday, I have then flashed the new 2.8.6(7) and that gave my phone the rest. It might be because I flashed through TWRP itself into the recovery partition, but now additional to the backup error above when I want to erase dalvik cache, the recovery just hangs. I also can't restore a backup atm.
Now I have reflashed the real 2.8.6.0 recovery and it still hangs when I want to wipe dalvik... wtf is going on here?
And oh yea, my phone does not boot anymore either, it just loops at the flash screen...
UPDATE:
After I found some info on this thread about similar issues, I factory reset my phone with stock recovery (TWRP was not reliable anymore, even the 2.8.6.0 version that was running perfectly before) and then reflashed the latest CM on a wiped internal storage. Now I am up and running again with minimal loss of data due to my TB backups that are scheduled and save to the SD.
But this leaves a very weird feeling back, basically my phone was rendered useless out of nowhere (I was running the previous CM for 2 weeks already), making TWRP backups impossible and forcing me to wipe the internal storage with all media on it without giving me the chance to back it up (MTP in TWPR was also very flaky and died several times half in copy operations). Something is going very wrong with this phone, never ever had that on any of my 5 previous htc devices and the fact that the OnePlusOne users are among the main ones that reported similar issues, I have a feeling it is linked to cheap storage quality. Motorola is a Chinese company now after all... :-/
Hello,
I had the same issue with my Galaxy s4 GT-I9500, it said "E: Unable to stat /data/...", wiping didn't fix, but after I run "format data", it fixed the issue for me.
I have been going through the same issue. I can fix it for 'a while' (by wiping and formatting data) before it comes back again. Anyone knows how to get rid of this once and for all?
