Use fastboot to flash the stock images and you should be fine

This is a rewritten version of an earlier post.
I haven't been able to boot my TPT for about two weeks now. At first it was stuck on the spinning "CyanogenMod" logo, and would go no further; now it's stuck on the Lenovo logo. If I boot into CWM recovery (which usually takes several attempts; the first few times result in a black screen), first I get a list of errors:
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 can't apply any of the format zip files, as any attempts to apply a zip file from either the sd card or the external sd card results in an error:
E:Can't mount /sdcard
or
E:Can't mount /external_sd/
I've tried wiping the cache and the Dalvik cache, but so far nothing has allowed me to reformat the system and boot into it. This is all very frustrating. I don't mind wiping the entire system and starting from scratch - but I would like my tablet back!
Is there any way of overcoming these "Can't mount" errors?
(I read somewhere that one option is to reformat the SD card with FAT32 and install the ROM from there; dunno if that will work through.) Anyway, suggestions are very welcome!
Hi guys,
Pretty much new to Android. But, I'm pretty sane at following instructions.
Some how this makes me want to give up! Been at this for 5 hours and over but still can't find a solution :crying:
So I'm sitting here with an S4 i9505
I rooted the phone.
Root: Check!
Somehow tried installing TWRP using odin for the phone. It showed a success but I'm not able to boot to that.
Now I'm trying to unlock the bootloader to get TWRP to work.
I install Android Studio, get the google USB drive update ( deleted android studio later after looking at a million threads)
The phone is by default always installing as Samsung ADB interface on my computer. Looking at the device manager.
I launch ADB, I check my devices - adb devices - seems to work fine. Identifies my device.
2. abd reboot bootloader - works fine - i end up with the ODIN screen on my phone( download mode) - Press Volume up to continue - Ok, ready
3. fastboot devices - doesn't return anything
I check the device manager for any exclamation marks on any new driver. It's completely fine. Collapsed all the tabs and expanded to check one by one. I don't find any unknown device to which I can update the driver to the ADB Composite USB interface.
There is absolutely nothing in the Device manager even after me being in download mode.
Please help this is driving me nuts! I need to figure this out. After trying out possibly everything. I'm here for help.
I need to know how to fix this. I have this awesome CM13 rom that I want to flash onto my phone
Looking forward to whatever I can get. TIA
There's absolutely nothing to unlock.
Untick auto reboot in Odin and try again.
If all else fails, try installing it with the app method (requires root). In fact, TeamWin themselves recommend using the app method. So there you go.
Now there's a mount issue! Will this ever end XD

[UPDATE]
Figured it out.
Erased the data which helped me get rid of the encryption.
Then I was able to go ahead and perform a proper wipe.
Installed LineageOS on the phone.
Haven't found any issues yet.
Android N
Thanks for your help. Special cheers to Pwnycorn for helping me not waste my time further!

Is/was your data encrypted?

Yup it was encrypted. I had to do a complete wipe to remove the encryption.
Post the wipe, I was able to install the OS and perform a factory reset.

TWRP cannot decrypt encrypted data, that is why it failed.
A complete wipe was recommended anyway, since you came from a completely different kind of ROM.
The problem is my phone unexpectedly shutted down when it was connected to computer and was running 3 apps that didn´t need much resource. And now if I try to start the device, I get the bootloop error.
Also when I go to CWM, I get these errors:
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
E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/last_install
E: Can't open /cache/recovery/last_install
I also can´t mount data (I get the "Error mounting data!") and cache too. I only can mount system and format cache, but not format data.
I already tried adb pull command, but as I can not mount data, I am not able to pull anything from there. I already took my SD-card out and got most of the pictures and songs. But most of the data is stored on the internal memory as in CM11, you can not move apps to SD-card. So my question is that, is it possible to restore data from internal memory in my case? I mean SMS-messages, app data and bookmarks from AOSP Browser and UC Browser that are all stored on internal memory.
Sadly I haven´t done any Titanium backup and also Nandroid backup before this happened.
