NEED HELP PLEASE deleted partitions off emmc

Been semi bricked for hours... I messed up the emmc partitions using adb gparted dev/block/mmcbkl0 and now nook won't boot.. not even off SD card
the only thing i can get to boot off sd card image is rootpack which boots me into recovery.. i tried everything but no matter what I do in recovery i always get errors regarding the mounting of my cache and data, which obviously is because i deleted the partitions...
when i try to edit the partition table from adb parted denies me permission
please help... i'm very new to the nook and everything I just said I learned in the past 4 hours that i have been reading through forums trying to fix it..
thank you

In this very forum..

Besides, what makes you think you deleted the partitions? Did you?

on adb parted i went through every single one of the partitions and deleted them... only left one intact.. so i'm pretty sure i deleted them..
I have already tried flashing this and it flashed just fine however when I go back into the recovery menu I get the same error
E:\ something something can't mount data/recoverylog.log
E:\ something something can't mount cache/recoverylog.log
and four others just like it..

if anyone is willingto help the errors i get in clockwork recovery are
E: Can't Mount /cache/recovery/command
E: Can't Mount /cache/recovery/log

And why in gods name did you do that?
Anyway, get the repartition/fix tool that's in these forums.. I think in Development, might be in General. It just works.

A500 inexplicably bricked

Dear Experts,
Happy New Year
This is my first actual post on xda-developers but I rooted my beloved A500 with the advice on here just over a year ago.
The other night I plugged my device in to charge, all was well. When I woke in the morning the device was off, booting it would only take me to the first screen which shows the Skrilax_CZ ROM welcome screen. I tried booting it a few times, as you do, and each time I got the same result.
I was able to enter the boot recovery menu fine.
In green text I got the following:
E: can't mount cache/recovery/command
Under that it said:
E: Can't mount /sdcard/
E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/command
E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/log
E: Can't open /cache/recovery/log
E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/last_log
E: Can't open /cache/recovery/last_log
I am able to get into APX mode, I only know this because the 'blackthund3r A500 Manager' is able to see the device when I try to manually put it into APX mode. I don't know if it helps at all...
I am now unable to get into the boot recovery mode since playing with the A500 Manager ion APX mode.
I found a similar thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1953751
This suggests it is proper broken.
Does anyone have any advice on what I can try? If the device is dead then is there any way to retrieve my data which is not on the SD card?
Many thanks to you all,
Robbie

All i can suggest is you power down tablet , remove sdcard and put it in a card reader to save any data on it / format it / put it back in n see if u can do recovery ? or use different sdcard ?

Hi Brysie.
I have had the SD card removed while I tried working on it so that I wouldn't risk affecting my data on it. I seem to get the same results now whether I have the SD card inserted or not. Although I just had another try and it is now allowing me to enter the recovery mode again which it wasn't a couple of hours ago.
I am north east of the Shetland Islands on an oil rig just now and I didn't bring my card reader with me. I will try what you suggest when I get home which will hopefully be within a couple of weeks.

Hey RoverP4,
I was wondering if you manage to find a fix to this? I have had an extremely similar bricking. My message is a little different.
Code:
E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/command
Kernel: thor-kernel_v1.16mini
Updates on TegraOwners.com
Setting CPUO & CPU1 to 1GHz...
Done!
Fixing A500 Boot/Recovery Chechsums...
Running itsmagic
Done!
E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/log
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/log
E:Can't mount /cache/reovery/last_log
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/lazy_log
Thanks for any help.

You can try running babsector (search on the forum), that will attempt to repartition and format.
If that doesn't work then it is most likely due to hardware failure of the eMMC chip, so a motherboard replacement is the only real solution. Same thing happened to me, cannot install anything on it as nvflash cannot write to the device. Haven't gotten around to replacing the motherboard.

Install Skrillax_CZ's bootloader.
Install TWRP (I use version 2.4.0.0).
Wipe System and Cache partitions.
Install a compatible ROM. If you want something fairly vanilla, give Lightspeed a try.

Thanks for the suggestion. But Im almost sure the mother board was fried. It wouldn't let me mount the SD or flash drive. So I couldnt install anything. Replacing the MoB wasnt that hard. Heck I took it out 3-4 times.

Nexus 5 (32gb) Mobile Internal Memory Storage 0mb

Hello,
Today I woke up to my phone boot-looping after leaving it to charge overnight, despite it having run fine for close to a month (I have been running Cayanogen Mod ROM and TWRP 2.6.4.3 since I got my Nexus 5).
After a long wait at the Google and Nexus logos, there's a system popup of 'Cayanogen logo" present on the screen. However, right after completing the 'updating of apps', the system popup 'Media Storage has stopped working' appears and the phone immediately restarts again.
Upon booting into TWRP, it presents me with a password screen, which I have never encountered before. After pressing 'Cancel' though, I'm directed to the TWRP main menu.
Attempts to factory reset the phone resulted in:
Formatting cache using make_ext4fs function.
E: Unable to mount '/cache'
Updating partition details...
E: Unable to mount '/cache'
E: Unable to mount '/persist'
E: Unable to mount storage.
Then i am using Nexus Root Toolkit and all are option i am going but nothing to do..
So please Watch this Video and Solved My Problem Please.. Please...
All are Process i am apply...Please developer help me......

S7390L slowly corrupted itself to death, need to recover files inside internal memory

My phone was slowly corrupting some files inside the external sd card, but I thought it might have been because I had named a file with a $ sign and it had some problems when I plugged the usb.
After I had taken the file out and deleted the corrupted files (Some of my game saves died too :crying, I thought it was going to be okay, but the corruption did go on after some time.
One day, when I was using the phone, suddenly, I got a white line accross the screen and the phone rebooted, then every time it turned on, it worked for 1~3 seconds then, again, white line and reboot.
Tried to fix it in various ways, turning off wi-fi, changing the brightness and things like that in the moment before it rebooted, but I couldn't make it work.
After some tries/time, it gave me an error saying it needed to be wiped and reseted, but I really need some files inside of it, so I didn't wipe it, and now it just stops at the samsung logo.
I can get it into recovery mode or that "custom rom" screen, by using the volume buttons when booting up, and I could even get it to show in adb when in recovery mode, but I can't mount the sd card with it (It always tells me I can't do it, something about privileges, I think).
I just wanted to get some files from the internal memory, after that, I think I'll be flashing it with CyanogenMod so it'll be a Android 4.4
But, for now, what can I do to recover those files?
Thanks in advance
Edit: Recovery menu says:
--init-recovery...
E: failed to mount /data (invalid argument)
can't mount /data (invalid argument)
Then it tries to apply "multi-csc" and after it "successfully applies" it, then it shows the "failed to moun /data" error again

Well the easiest way would be to flash TWRP recovery and use the file manager to copy the files that you need to your mem card... if u couldn't access the internal memory just mount it manually either from the option "mount sdcard" or use the a shell command.. I believe there is a terminal emulator there

Can't flash custom rom

So, my mom's P8 lite was running low so i offered to "make it faster" I succeeded in unlocking the bootloader and flashing SuperSU at first. Now the next issue at hand was thus a custom rom. I've settled on https://forum.xda-developers.com/p8lite/development/rom-t3649258
In accordance with instructions i flashed the b895. Everything went fine until the last possible second
twrp "errored" with something like error [] errno. That's it. I rebooted and everything seemed fine. However in about the phone is now listed as hi6210sft and initially did at first too in windows explorer. I enabled developer options and usb debugging and suddenly windows was seeing it as an ALE-L21 again about phone still lists ALE-B895.
I can copy files over to internal storage "fine" but that's where everything stops. When i reboot to twrp the rom recommended one https://forum.xda-developers.com/p8lite/orig-development/twrp-t3583180 it fails to mount /data
When i try the twrp sideload way i get this (Red: red line of text, wht: white line of text)
Red: Failed to mount '/data' (invalid argument)
Red: Unable to recreate /data/media folder
Wht: ..Done
Red: Unable to mount /storage
Red: Failed to mount '/data' (invalid argument)
Wht: Full SELinux support is present.
Red: Unable to mount /data/media/TWRP/.twrps
When i go to mount i cant mount data, when i go to wipe > advanded internal storage is shown as 0 size. When i go to Wipe > advanced > Change file system to FAT that works and storage sizes are now reported (in MB), but i still can't see anything on the internal storage. Can't install anything as that damn basic EMUI doesn't even have a file manager.
Right now i'm at a catch 22 as with Huawei removing all downloads, i can't even download the stock firmware
This phone is an "old" P8 Lite, ALE-L21 european (belgian) model.
Right now the status is as follows
* fastboot & adb work
* phone boots
* twrp installed but can't mount any storage, thus can't do a damn thing
Any assistance is welcome.
I'm used to working with Nexus devices so i'm unused to all these problems

Format data in twrp

Ah that seems to have worked. Apparantly wipe data is different from format. Learned something new. after formatting i was able to adb push the custom rom and install via twrp. Files place on internal storage are now properly seen by TWRP. Device is up and running. Many thanks
Never too old to learn something new
Oh anyone know where i can grab the latest stock firmware for the ALE-L21 Eu model "just in case"?
