I tried that also stil facing the same errors.

Try this steps carefully :
1. Wipe cache, dalvic cache, system, data and internal storage.
2. After wiping press format data and then type "yes" .
3. After formating data, now go to install and flash the ROM you want with gapps.
4. After flashing rom and gapps now reboot system.
5. First boot will take some time.
(Note: keep in mind that after wiping cache,dalvik,system,data,internal you have to do format data (which you will see in bottom right corner of wipe section) )
Whenever I install new custom rom, i use only these steps. I never encounter these problems as i always format my data.
Try this things,hope you will use your device.

Okay.
First check weather its mounted or not.
To do this go to twrp recovery mode, select Mount and check [√] every option. After that try to flash the rom again. It seems like your system,data and cache is not mounted. See if that helps or not.

Do one thing just revert back to stock ROM. After that root it again, unlock bootloader and install latest twrp and flash the custom ROM again.

I cant even revert to stock rom because when i flash fastboot.img and recovery.img then i try to enter recovery it leads me to twrp not the stock. Btw im the one your helping in the RR Nougat thread of tank

In twrp go to advanced -> select data -> change filesystem type and change it to f2fs and then ext4 after that. Do that with all the partitions

Gt i9506 10 gb used by system after flashing.

hello there!
some months ago i tried a custom firmware on my 9506 (i think that was the first version of arya mod) but i didnt kinda like it so i downloaded again the stock fw and flashed it back.
i did my typicall "download the basic apps" routine and on the 4th app an "insufficient storage available" message appeared on my screen and i was like "lol whats wrong?" i checked on and i found that 10.6Gb was used by system.
Well i thought that i downloaded maybe a bugged stock rom and i didnt have the free time at the time to check whats wrong so i decided to live with it till i find some spare time to check it again.
Yesterday i downloaded and flashed the lineage os fw and i was sure that this would fix the problem...but...well it didnt..still 10.6 used by system.
i tried wipe EVERYTHING (dalvik/cache/system/internal) and reflashed again but still nothing,i flashed again the stock rom,still nothing, i searched online but i didnt find a solution, i downloaded diskusage app to see where are those 10gbs but i couldnt figure out where they where.
So if anyone knows anything or had the same or similar problem it would be great if he/she write here and give a solution or some tips.
Thanks in advance

Try flashing the stock ROM together with a PIT file

i fixed it guys
i flashed again cwm recovery and i formated EVERYTHING from there and then reflashed again the rom and gapps and that fixed the problem.
Thanks for your help !

For the record, CWM's incremental backup feature was what I believe was stealing your space. If you still have CWM on that device, make sure to set the default nandroid backup format to ".tar" instead of ".dup", clear out your nandroid backups, clear all the allocated space, and then upgrade to the latest version of TWRP.
CWM hasn't been updated in a few years now and has difficulty installing modern ROMs.

you are right i think.
if i recall corectly when i flashed that rom back then before the problem appeared, i used cwm recovery so yeah maybe thats the main reason that this happened.
i allready set the default backup to .tar and cleared out all the nandroid backups and i allready use TWRP now.
thanks for the tip mate!

Can't mount Data Partition.

These last days have been catastrophic for me and my p9 Lite.
A thousand and one operations I have done ... I have had to reinstall everything via fastboot ... (cust, recovery, boot, cache, recovery, recovery2, syste m)
And still, I do not get it to boot ... I still have hopes, because being in Revolution Nougat Recovery B.9 (or something like that) shows me the 3 partitions of the P9 Lite. (CUST, EXTERNAL SD and INTERNAL MEMORY) this last, says to be totally empty ... (0 MB) But when I give wipe - internal memory - repair partition, it tells me that there are 16 gs free.
When I want to change the format, to repair it ... it gives me error. Both F2sF and ExT4 ...
I think it may have been deleted in the internal configuration of the cell, the route to the DATA partition. Because I can not repair it in any way ... it always throws me wrong ...
If you like the challenges, here's a big one.
I have googled the possibility of re writing the path to the data partition via fastboot, I only get examples of Google Nexus 7 (which apparently in nexus 7 if it can be done), but none of P9 Lite.
Later I will upload screenshots about the errors that the revolution recovery throw me ... (if anyone is willing to help)
At the moment, I am without an operating system. I have access to huawei recovery, also to revolution recovery and I also have fastboot access.
In the eRecovery, when I try to download the complete package ... it throws me "error in the package", putting the UPDATE.APP of the B371 in the dload folder, the update goes up to 50% and then I throw "error in the package".
I hope they help me and that together we can find a solution to my problem.
From already thank you very much.

Try to flash stock recovery and do a factory reset, maybe it will work
Otherwise buy dc; phoenix (it costs 15€ i think) and it will write nougat firmware b370
---------- Post added at 01:35 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:19 AM ----------
If flashing recovery via fastboot isn't working,
Download whatever version of revolution recovery
Extract it, remove file_context , replace recovery.img by the recovery that you have downloaded,
Archive meta-inf and recovery.img
Flash it through recovery
Hope it will works

I am stuck with a similar issue, but Meticulus TWRO 2.8.7.0:
I get Failed to mount '/data' (Invalid argument) and Unable to open '' to wipe crypto key
I can neither wipe /data, nor format it, nor do anything else with it.
I tried flashing stock ROM and tried factory reset over there: it failed
I went back to stock B160 from CM13, recently.
Somehow I did wipe /system in order to run an update, which did not work.
So I got deeper and deeper into this trouble.
At the moment, there is CM13 without /data und unable to wipe /data in any ways.
I do not have a SD at the moment.
Would it help to put a complete stock onto SD and install it via update mode?
edit:
I could install an old system backup, which did boot and after flashing stock recovery I could factory reset /data

Nexus 6P Failed to mount '/vendor' (Invalid argument)

I'm really desperate for help and am hoping someone can help me please.
Background :
I am having issue with my Nexus 6P where I would get "no service" (network/SIM) following a factory reset of the phone which is still under warranty. Same as here https://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6p/help/nexus-6p-service-message-t3539100
Following advice on forums, I successfully rooted and installed TWRP and SuperSU before trying flashing the Chroma ROM to change bands etc, but to no avail as the problem persists.
Current issue:
Something has consequently gone wrong when playing around in TWRP as installing ROMs as I seem to have stuffed up the "mount" and partition.
The phone is currently ROM-less and I can no longer factory reset nor flash any RAM as I get the error :
"Failed to mount '/vendor' (Invalid argument). "
http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=97la9x&s=9
Internal memory now shows as 25566MB not 32GB.
http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=23li3py&s=9
Intended outcome:
Please help me restore the settings and memory mounts to default, so I can return the phone to factory defaults with original ROM before sending off for warranty repairs

First thing is try to flash the latest vendor image for your device that matches the roms version. That should let the vendor mount so you can do stuff again.

Manually (fastboot) format your partitions and then load a (stock) image normally.

I'm only seeing one partition of 25GB. Can't see the missing 7GB as a separate partition
Also would appreciate if you could step me through the fastboot format process.

25 GB is normal, after formatting and the installed OS, that is all that is left. You will never have 32GB. Use fastboot from the bootloader to format your partitions. Then flash a full image using flash-all.bat.
fastboot format system
fastboot format cache
fastboot format userdata

[Possibly bricked] "Failed to mount /data" & no internal storage

Hello everyone!
I have a P9 lite VNS-L31 running 7.0.1. on EMUI 5.0.2..
However during a factory wipe, it stopped booting correctly and I can't get passed from neither bootloader nor recovery.
I have TWRP Revolution v.260317 (TWRP 3.1.0-0) installed and my main problem is that for some reason the phone says that I have no internal storage whatsoever and if I try to wipe the /data partition it fails to mount it (error: Failed to mount /data (Invalid argument)).
I tried any of the methods in videos titled "how to fix unable to mount /data" (sorry, I cannot post links :/ ) but with no luck.
I can't seem to repair nor resize nor change file system of the /data partition. When trying to repair data using e2fsck it gives out the message:
" /sbin/e2fsck -fp process ended with ERROR: 16"
Any ideas?
I can use recovery and fastboot if necessary.
Regards

Well, more or less, but I managed to solve it!
I found out that the reason why it said there was 0mb of internal storage was because the bootloader that was previously unlocked turned itself locked, that's why it couldn't mount the /data partition. I just used SKR Tool to unlock the bootloader and after that yes, I installed that version of TWRP that you linked.
I also found out that the Revolution TWRP installed in the eRecovery partition (/recovery2 ?) instead of the normal recovery partition. What image is supposed to be installed in that partition?

That is the second recovery partition (another recovery) aka huaweis last ditch attempt to fix a broken phone. There's no actually problem if u don't have it-as most of the time (in my experience) its utter garbage, but there's no harm in flashing it if u want.
U can extract it from ur update.app file using huawei update extractor.

Yeah, I tried to install the RECOVERY2.img that I extracted from the UPDATE.app and it didn't work so I just didn't bother and installed the TWRP again.
But at least everything is solved!
