Hey guys I need your help.
Today I tried to factory reset my S4 (9505) via cyanogenmod but when the phone restarted it kept staying in the loadingscreen.
I waited like an hour but nothing happened so I restarted the phone.. same thing over and over again.
After a few attempts I booted into recovery mode (ClockworkMod Recovery v6.0.3.2), I wiped the cache and tried to "wipe data/ factory reset" here.
But this is all I got:
Code:
-- Wiping data. . .
Formating /data. . .
Error mounting /data!
Skipping format. . .
Formating /cache. . .
Formatting /sd-ext. . .
Formatting /sdcard/.android_secure. . .
Error mounting /sdcard/.android_secure!
Skipping format. . .
Data wipe complete.
Needlessly to to say that my phone still didn't start.
Next I installed cyanogenmod via sideload (cm-11-20140210-SNAPSHOT-M3-jfltexx.zip) and had no troubles but unfortunately nothing changed.
I hope someone can give me an advice how to fix this. Thx in advance

- Are you encrypted?
- You are using an old recovery. Update to the latest TWRP. Just flash the file in the recovery.

1st of all do full wiped and format data,system,internal etc.Then flash rom(asus UI) ,it get error so again full wiped and format data,system,internal etc. Then reboot into recovery.Then format Wipe cache only and flashed the rom(asus ui).
Its work for me....:good:
I keep getting this message on TWRP (Unable to mount Cache)
When I try to wip dalvik cache/cache.
Then the device freeze and reboot into bootloop so I have to flash a new firmware via Odin all over again!
This happen too when I flash the xposed framework even if I didn't Wipe dalvik cache/cache.
I'm facing this problem on both kitkat and lollipop
HELP ME PLEASE!
Do you we need to wipe vendor before installing custom rom?
I always wipe system,dalvik,cache and data.
You should not wipe data folder. You will lose your app data. Wipe system, cache, dalvik and vendor.
So yes, you need to wipe vendor before instaling.
Also, do you have to start a new thread for this question? It will just spam people.

Wiping vender might give into bootloops some times. And wiping data is always a good practice when ur switching ROMs.
So I'd say , take back up , wipe syst, caches , dalvik , data !
I know the topic is old, but it might help somebody in the future.
I have a Xiaomi Mi6, and in Miui 10, I got microphone bug, sometimes microphone worked, sometimes not, and also hang up sometimes out of nowhere.
I was pointed out that the reason may have been to just have given a wype system, dalvik, and date chache, but have not given a wype vendor.
So in doubt, because of bug, good give a wipe vendor.
i always suggest to wipe vendor, I've never faced any problem
What is reason ppl wipe vendor anyways?
Last time when I wiped vendor, it only start in download mode and forgot how to get out. It wasn't fun. And I never wipe vendor before flashing ROM, so I would say no don't wipe vendor.
Hey. I've got a error in twrp while before flashing a rom we wipe all data dalvik chache and system, so it says that cannot unmount system device or resource busy. And that is the reason i cannot switch to any other rom. Anybody knows the fix ??
