Do you mean that you did a data wipe?
If so, I'm not sure how much there is you can do. That is one of those "cannot undo" unless you performed a nandroid backup.

Encrypted 9505 won't boot

Good morning XDA fellows,
I am encountering a slight issue: I have encrypted my i9505 two days ago and I went blindly into installing the latest 5.0.2 CM 12 build. I have done a wipe and went into installing from zip which booted the CM setup but stopped at the Encryption Unsuccessful message. If I reboot, it starts the CM setup and stops at the same message.
If I try to mount the sdcard ( the phone's main memory ) it gives me an error and therefore I've put all the files on an external sd ( sdcard1 ).
What is the safest thing I should do in order to avoid a hard brick? Would you recommend me to flash a stock firmware with odin via download mode? Would the encrypted volume mess with odin ?
Yours sincerely,

Hello,
if you point to use CM don't encrypt your device, at least for now. You don't need to flash with Odin now, just go in recovery and format internal memory (/data and /data/media), then flash CM zip

Hi Antares, I receive an error when I try to format anything that has to do with the internal memory: E: Error mounting /data E: Error formatting /data . The same thing applies when I want to install any zip from the internal memoryE: Can't mount /sdcard. I suspect it has something to do with the encryption. I am not interested in recovering anything because I have already backed up before copying the setup files on both the internal and the external sd ( before it crashed ).
Thank you in advance,
EDIT: I have tried to flash it with jodin3 on a Macbook Pro and it didn't end up successfully. I have flashed using Odin 3.10 and the system booted up so that I could remove the encryption. Once done, I have flashed AntaresOne's CM12 build and everything works flawlessly. Thank you for your support!

You might not know this, but every device has its own different system partitions. The thread you were referring to is for Asus Transformer Pad. Following that might make the problem worse.

But this is ASus phone it works on lenovo a6000

In that tutorial mmcblk0p8 is being formatted because that memory location has the /data directory on Asus Transformer. But, in our device the /data can be in any other partition, and doing that might brick the device permanently

Delete the recovery log from twrp folder and flash another twrp from flashtool or rash..what version are you using? If it is indeed a corrupted partition, you can reflash your phone using qfill

Try using the Fix Permissions in TWRP recovery...
It may help.
:fingers-crossed:

@nikhil7870 do you solve this problems?

Best way is install the latest twrp I.e 3.0.2 and do the format everything instead of advanced wipe. Your problem will be solved. I too faced the same problem and I did what I have advised you. It worked.

Is the problem resolved??

I have solution
Bro don't take so much tension , thats not hardware problem its only your Recovery's reading cache error . you can simply fix this by flashing old version of recovery and from that old recovery again wipe what you want to remove but man don't touch your mount section column , after wiping data and anything else simply flash new twrp.img then simply reboot recovery . wollllaaa you got your partion cache back now again you can simply flash you favorite roms. I hope you understand what you have to do now . But please follow these steps carefully :good: .
Remember don't flash KitKat recovery over lolipop recovery otherwise you got bootloop. Old recovery means suppose if you have now twrp v 3.1 just simply flash v2.8 then after wiping things you want , then simply flash twrp v 3.1 .
If you still have any doubt you can contact me via WhatsApp - +91 9205097520 (indian no. ) or simply reply me on xda or simply mail me at - [email protected] . And at last don't forget to tell me about your device problem .

S8 TWRP Error

Hi all,
Yesterday I managed to root my phone all fine with TWRP and SuperSU. Then after incorrectly uninstalling the security log agent and getting a million errors I foolishly deleted the stock OS.
I have download the correct version for my phone and location but now TWRP fails to launch.
I get the follows errors when booting to the recovery.
Failed to mount /data (invalid argument)
Unable to recreate /data/media folder
Unable to mount storage
Unable to mount /data/media/TWRP/.twrps
I have googled a millions things and am still stuck.
Interestingly tho, If i install the Indian version of the OS, it loads and roots no problems (I'm from New Zealand).
Any help greatly appreciated.

Hi
Your internal memory now corrupt you have to format it.
Use twrp wipe option select internal memory then format to fat32 after that again do same thing. This time choose its original format type.

Hi, thanks for the fast reply.
Iv'e tried this option, I installed the Indian OS which works with TWRP, formatted the Data drive to FAT (Fat32 isn't an option) and then back to EXT4. I then used Odin to Install the carrier firmware I want to run and the same errors occurred. Could it be a problem with the actual OS?
Edit** When I install the Carrier firmware I can't get TWRP to open, these errors occur as soon as it opens, and then it crashes and reboots

Hi hi, tried that several times. Would still like to find out what is causing the issue but have now installed Nemisis and all is working perfrctly which makes me think it's the OS as opposed to my file system, considering I have installed multiple other versions and ran TWRP no problems.

Got same problem here. Installed TWRP to flash a custom rom, TWRP can't mount /data.
Google doesn't give me any solutions
This fixed it for me:
- download stock firmware from sammobile & flash with Odin
- go into stock recovery
- wipe data and cache partitions
- flash twrp using odin
After that, TWRP was able to mount /data and function normally again

Phone not accessable after trying to install Custom Rom

Hi,
so i've tried to root my phone and then to install a custom rom. the root went without any problem. After the root, i tried to install lineage OS 16.0 and followed this guide:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-7/development/rom-lineageos-16-0-t3923203
i downloaded the rom and gapps, put them on my root directory of my phone and then i wiped System,Cache ,Data, Internal Storage and Format Data. After wiping, the roms were gone, so i rebooted and transfered them again into the root directory. Then, i went onto installing (just like i did with magisk) but an error occurred saying:
E: String resource 'zip_compatible_err' not found. Using default value.
Zip Treble compatibility error!
Invalid zip file format!
Error installing zip file '....'
Updating partition details...
...done
Ok. So then, i tried to install another Custom Rom so i went for Oxygen OS, it actually did install but then i couldn't boot into it because it was telling me there was an 'Android System Error'. Ok, back in TWRP, i wiped everything and then i tried to install the Original ROM but i got the same error as above.
For now i tried to download the miFlasher tool but it only wants to download some driver and it literally takes forever.
Hope you can help me...

Those recoveries are old.. Use orange fox recovery 10.0-2 it will work and format data then install rom.

title?
@BlackGarnett
Thanks, that help me on a quick one!
@loseyourself
Also thank you for this advice, i'm new to rooting smartphones and install cfw since i was using iPhone for the past few years.
But now i got another new question: if i use orange fox recovery and i run a backup with it (i think there will be an option to do a backup), then i format all data and internal storage, can i still recover from the backup or will it be deleted?
thanks again!
