E: Could not mount /data and unable to find crypto footer - Galaxy Grand Prime Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

HI everyone
I bought a grand prime SM-G530H from Mexico apparently stucked at boot logo. Thought that was only just a bad firmware-update but.....everytime that I try to flash any cROM it can not mount any partition and internal storage size marks "0Mb" in TWRP.
I can enter to Download Mode, Recovery, even flash every stock Rom(different Odin versions) with xxu baseband but it is impossible for the device to mount or wipe any partition.
Is the motherboard fully-bricked??
Can I change mount points with any command??
Should I throw it to recycling truck?
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tell me if my english sucks

I will answer myself and wait for an admin. to delete this unuseful thread......
I just installed TWRP over 5.0.2 stock firmware and do a f**ckn FORMAT DATA in "Wipe Section"; not wipe, but, Format.
Sorry for this noob

No problem. Thanks to your self-answered question I've solved my problem too. Thanks!

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

[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!
Thanks

Depending on twrp version you could try this
In twrp
Wipe menu
Advanced wipe menu
Select preload
Swipe to wipe

Yes
If you have issues then under mount menu select preload then repeat the process.
From what I can gather I think the preload section contains Samsung smart switch programs.
Note: If interested there new twrp version

¿lo pudiste arregla? / could you fix it?
How is the problem solved then I go to wipe and look for where it says preload, but if I don't see that option then what do I wipe everything?
How can I solve it, can you explain step by step please, I am a beginner in the custom rom and yesterday I got screwed when I was trying to install magisk and a multi nose file, I had to press the other one because I saw a video installing it, it seems that it was not compatible
I also have this error, any solution?
