error mounting /data- brick? LOL

I tried reflashing a sense 3.0 2.3.3 rom because of some minor issues. Now I may have nuked my /data partition. first it wouldn't format so I pulled battery numerous times. and Mounted it through mounts and storage menu, then I hit format, and it formatted, so I hit mount again and flashed the rom. and when I restarted the phone after splash screen the phone restarted and went into recovery
Tried everything including mounting /data again and it keeps saying error mounting /data. am I screwed?
I have .2007 eng bootloader btw. shoud I try the pd15img?

I don't think you need to do that. You could do a fastboot erase, then go back into recovery and wipe data to reformat it /data, effectively starting from nothing.

Now I am getting mount /cache errors. aww man I think my phone is done....
edit: used the pd15img and I am back on stock :| s= off but I have the stock bootloader wtf.... how do I get my eng bootloader back?
this is how I fixed it:
I was on eng bootloader, but then I got reverted back to the stock bootloader.
This is how I encountered the problem. first of all I was having issues with raffy's fusion 3.0 rom, so I decided to reflash it, but it wouldn't flash or format /data, then I mounted it to through mounts and storage on the latest cwm 3.0.2.4 and hit format.
After that I tried reflashing his rom, it flashed but, after splashscreen I was redirected to my recovery instead. that's when I freaked because when I tried mounting data it said error cannot mount /data. so I fired up adb and did fastboot erase system -w and it erased it including cache.
then I popped up into recovery and BOOM started having cache mount errors experienced by a lot of people lately.
I thought I was SOL, but nope I downloaded the pd15img from http://www.megaupload.com/?d=V4NAODYZ
and put it on the root of my sd card and it worked....
so if anyone of you dudes are having similar problems try that ^

[Q] Bricked SGS

I have a SGS that does boot, only thing is i flashed the phone like 20 times with KIES and Odin, also re-partitioned the thing, still its leaving al the apps and setting.
When its done booting and going into the wizzard is give the error "UIDs are inconsistend" and shows the "I'm feeling lucky" button.
i have tried everything, but i cant fix the problem.. i also flashed the phone to 2.3.3 and than flashed a pre-root kernel with cLW recovery and formated everything, still everything is still on the phone, even when i connect the phone trough usb and format the internal SD and disconnect the phone, everything is still there!
Any ideas to fix this or is it just a hardware failure?

try damian gto kernel
and use wipe system setting erases every thing include sd

Boot into recovery and wipe your data partition.

@djdeeles

Soft brick but common fixes not working

Hi,
I got my N7000 stuck in a bootloop. i did NOT flash any other rom not for the N7000. i was planning to flash the paranoidandroid rom and while shifting from ICS to GB [as it suggested] this happened.
I still have download and recovery modes. Flashing different stock roms is going through, and some custom kernels too [the yellow triangle appears after and the flash count increases]
trying to recovery from my nandroid backups gives the same result as the stock flashing
i.e. its goes through then get stuck in the boot screen before the animation [the screen which says Samsung Galaxy bla bla, the screen where the yellow triangle shows up to be clear]
What can i do now please??
thanks
edit: should i try to format /system /data /preload /emmc fom CWM recovery 5 becuase i can do that

So you flashed successfully gb? If you are on a gb and you have used a safe kernel to revert. Did you try to Wipe data and cache from recovery? Try it, it should bring you out of the boot loop.

Hi,
I don't know on what rom i am at the moment. it should be GB since i flashed SGN_XX_OXA_KJ1_FACTORYFS.tar
wiping data on the CWM worked before but this time it got stuck with out any progress in the blue bar for like 20min.
i was suggested to flash a wipe rom, but i dont know where to find one exactly

Like Baxos said. Try wipe all since you r at old GB. Its worked 4 for me. I've been at your stage then wipe all then root and flashed paranoidandroid. Try Get back to recovery and wipe all then reboot.
n7000 paranoid android v2
Will update to v3 when got time

wipe all = also formatting /system /data /preload /emmc fom CWM recovery 5?
because i did many of the restore to factory and clearing cache

the problem seems to be due to the fact that /data is not being wiped. the progress bar gets stuck and then reboots
any idea how i can wipe this partition?

Did you first install a safe gb kernel when you were on ics before downgrading the rom to gb? If not then you will have performed a wipe under ics kernel and it sounds like brick bug symptoms.

Maybe your /data is corrupted. You can make a new /data with adb.

hi,
sorry for the late reply. i was busy with uni work
i will try the adb method.
thanks

all partitons were wiped on a different rom version.
the boot loop seems to be irreparable and i will have to send it abroad to get it fixed. hopefully i dont have any of my data on it

[Q] Can't mount /data after Quarx's CM 10.2

After installing Quarx's CM 10.2 october 30th nightly (defy, not plus) the device seemed to be working normal but I then soon noticed that no internal storage is detected. (meaning I also could not install apps from the play store) Upon restarting, I go through the entire 'first time' sequence again and any thing I did before I restarted was not saved. I think this is because, when entering TWRP and going to mount, data is the only partition that it will not allow me to mount. Attempting to wipe the data partition yields the result 'unable to mount /data'. Is it possible to mount somehow in adb or terminal? Is anyone else having this issue? And is there any known fix?

Well , I had this problem too , but not with this ROM , enter in Motorola stock recovery , and make a wipe , after that , you should flash again a SBF , and put it again.. , or if you can still flash something , try to flash the 10.2 CM again.

But it won't let me. :/ Like I said before, attempting to wipe the data partition just gives me 'Unable to mount /data'. Does that mean the partition is corrupted, or can it be mounted somehow in the terminal? This has really become a headache...
As an update, I actually was able to wipe in the stock recovery, but going back to TWRP now shows that both my data and cache partitions cannot be mounted (or still corrupted). Would flashing a new sbf fix that? I can still access cyanogen if I boot normally but it is the same as before, no internal storage and nothing is saved after reboot.

Did you try to wipe data and cache in stock recovery ? I don't know if you will flash a SBF will fix that , try to wipe data and cache too , and after that if you can't boot , flash a SBF.

Razr M E:UNABLE TO Mount Data , System , Cache 0MB

Hi All , So recently ive been out of a phone and my cousin was nice enough to give me a broken android which he said , If i can repair it i can keep it . So i think its easy enough to fix its just a boot loop ill just flash CM As it has TWRP Already
Not So easy... I go to TWRP with some ROM's Pre-Downloaded onto a SD Card and go to flash them when i notice when i try selecting a partintion it says 0mb , Think maybe its just a weired temp bug and flash or atleast try to flash a new rom and keep on saying the same sadly
E; Unable to Mount Data
E; Unable to Mount System
E; Unable to Mount Cache This has been going for about a few weeks now with no avail and think this would be a nice forum to ask for some help , Other things to add are...
When its on normal boot its a boot loop
When i try using RSD To Flash Stock its still on the CM 13 Boot Logo loop
I also tried Upgrading the TWRP Version and Flashing CWM But still no luck
Any and all help is apreciated thank you all !!!

Anybody!!!?
