Bricked my Mate 8 and TWRP can't mount data!

Hi, i was trying to change from c432 to al10 to install the latest firmware but in the process i bricked my mate 8.. i tried flashing the twisted mate rom but it stays in the boot screen and doesnt finish to boot... and when i try to format the system TWRP says 'unable to mount storage' 'Failed to mount '/data' (invalid argument)
...is there a way to format my data partition and have it again????

Ok, i managed to get the C432B320 stock working, after reading a lot i found that TWRP doesn't mount the data partition unless we finish the initial setup of the rom, so i went and flashed the al10 b361 and could boot and use it for a while... i noticed that i couldn't read my external sd card and neither had network, the phone said 'no service'.. does anybody knows??
After using the al10 b361 for a while i reunlocked (even saying that it was unlocked i had to unlock it again) the bootloader and TWRP and installed the stock c432b320 and rooted it, i still didnt have external sd card or network, they started working again after changing back my oeminfo to c432 again, weird.. for the sdcard i would say that it was encrypted somehow but not sure why the network wouldn't work.
What do you think @Ephemera?? i love your Twisted Mated Rom but i've been having trouble with the original huawei camera app and wanted to have the latest version of the chinese region.

Huawei P8 Lite

Hi guys so i made a huge mistake i rooted my phone without backup and now i have no os so i made my own
And everything went fine until i wanted to flash it but there is an error E:Unknown Command F[firmware]
Can anyone help me?
Thank you in advance

Can you flash TWRP recovery, then Clear your data/cache partition, if that does not work download a stable rom from the forum and flash that instead.

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.

I think the only solution is to flash firmware via dc-phoenix

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

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

[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?
