E:/ Can't Mount sd card

AT&T G2
I'm trying to update to the latest CM11 nightly. Typically, I download the latest via the CM updater in the About Phone section and then I flash it manually via ClockworkMod 6.0.4.4. However, this time around, after wiping the cache, I tried to wipe the dalvik and also flash the rom all i get is "E:/ Can't Mount sd card"... Any suggestions on how to fix this?
I encountered this once before a couple of weeks ago and I had to format the internal sd card via CWM. I'm hoping to avoid that this time around by seeking help here.

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!

[SOLVED] Internal storage only recognized in recovery, but not within ROM

The title says it all.
I tried to wipe everything, reinstall the rom. But within the ROM the internal storage is not rocognized, also not on the computer.
But in TWRP everything is accessable, even transfering files.
any recommendation how to proceed? thx
SOLVED: installing another ROM has solved the issue

Unable to flash TWRP Backup from OTG and adb sideload too. please help

Hi, i am a novice. I am using potter with the latest PE+ ANDROID 10. I was not getting VoLTE and someone suggested revert to stock ROM and flash PE again. I took a backup and wiped everything (system, data, dalvik, cache). it was successful and when i tried to restore the stock backup i have based on android 8.1 (last update by Motorola) I ran into errors like unable to mount system and i wiped the internal storage in the process by mistake and i tried to RESTORE the same 8.1 file through OTG but the same error came. I tried changing storage type in wipe --advanced wipe and it didn't help. I am unable to use ADB sideload too. I am just stuck at TWRP with no data in internal storage. when i try to put the backup into the internal storage thpurh PC it throws a error saying the file is larger than the device limit (specifically while copying system file that is 1.5 GB). what should i do now, what happened to my potter? please help me come out of this.:crying::crying:
