Factory Reset Failure - Samsung Galaxy Core Prime Questions & Answers

I installed TWRP on my device. It worked nicely and I booted into twrp recovery. I thought of doing a factory reset. So, I selected the format option on TWRP. It showed something like "Formatting Data using make_extfs". I left it there. My brother came and pulled out the battery from the mobile. I booted up the phone thinking the process was over. I was stuck in a bootloop. I then booted into twrp again. I tried to wipe cache, but a error message came up showing something like "Failed to mount /data". I tried recovery option on TWRP. There it is showing, 0 MB internal storage. I think the storage got corrupted. Any solutions to this?

Try wiping your all partitions. All at once

[Q] is my galaxy s4 soft bricked or hard bricked? can I fix it? help please

so I tried to install a custom "rom negalite-s4-r41" I installed it all fine, when I was at boot screen it keeps repeating boot screen. I tried to wipe data/cache. It didn't do anything. it says my sd card is not mounted and when I try to mount it, it just says error. I can boot into download and I plan to try to install a stock non rooted everything with odin. I can boot into system recovery, but the ittle droid falls over with the red exclamation point. I can choose the follow options "Reboot system, Apply update from ADB, apply update from external storage, wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition, apply update from cache" I have tried reboot system just repeats reboot like I said, I have no clue what ADB is, apply update from external storage says it fails to mount sd, I have wiped data/factory reset, I did do the cache partition, my update from cache is all empty. Please help, I'm sitting in panera bread off their wifi because i have no internet at my house, this really sucks.
You are soft bricked. Odin to a stock ROM. Then re root.

I had a similar situation. I was able to Odin crawrj's Stock/Rooted/Deodexed/Stock Recovery ROM. Factory reset from stock recovery after you Odin the ROM.

TWRP won't factory reset after backup

Hello,
I recently did a backup (NucleaROM, 7.1) in TWRP and it strangely went to 101%. Stuck on "generating md5" for a minute.
Then, when I restarted my phone, it acted like 2 times slower than usual, from the boot animation, and didn't stop.
I then did a factory reset and tried flashing the ROM and Gapps again. Open GApps project couldn't finish, TWRP rebooted.
I received the "swipe to allow modifications" slide and actually slided it the second time, because I wasn't able to restore the first time, when I clicked on read only.
I now am stuck in the recovery, I have backups on my external card, TWRP won't read Internal card, I can't factory reset due to mount error and therefore can't restore any backup.
Everything went wrong just after trying to do a normal backup. What did I miss ?
Thx
Well good thing you have a backup on your external card. I'll suggest you perform a "Format Data" in the Advanced Wipe section of TWRP. It should be able to solve it. Looks like a minor corrupted storage problem.

TWRP/G6 not mounting system

Hi
I unlocked the bootloader and installed TWRP as described in the tutorials here. I then also flashed SuperSU. Afterwards I booted into stock Android and it worked. I wanted to do a factory reset so that after reinitializing I could install all my apps automatically. I went into TWRP --> Wipe --> Slide to Wipe. After rebooting it asked me for the pincode to decrypt. Since that didn't work I wiped everything except the SD Card and flashed lineage. Since then, my G6 keeps booting into TWRP. I even tried AquariOS (randomls chosen ROM) and I have the same results. I checked into "backup" in TWRP and the system partition is about 1GB. I then wiped it, and it went down to almost 0 I think. I then reflashed lineage and it was again at almost 1GB. So as it seems it is writing something. I then went into "mount" and system was not selected. I checked it and "mount system partition as read only", rebooted into the system, and it booted into TWRP again, system was unchecked under mount, but the read-only option was still checked. tried the same without the read-only option, same result. So now my G6 keeps mounting into TWRP instead of the ROM.
Any ideas what I can do?
Format data in recovery, don't wipe. It will disable encryption. Flash stock 14a again and see if you can get it to boot
I fixed it, somehow TWRP was messed up. I redownloaded it and reflashed it and then it worked

TWRP problem on S7 edge SM-G935F.

So I flashed the latest version of TWRP on my s7 edge SM-G935F
And I got the error "failed to mount data" I formatted my phone and I didn't see the error again, I rebooted my phone and everything was working fine then when I wanted to root my phone with Magisk, i went back to TWRP recovery and I got the error again, so I formatted my phone again and rooted it, then I rebooted my phone and I said that the data is corrupted that I should reset my phone to factory reset, I went back to TWRP recovery and still get the same error.
It's like the TWRP recovery is not stable and it also reset immediately you leave so that when you come back you must format your data or factory reset it before you can use the recovery.
Can Anyone help fix this problem, I don't want to wipe/factory reset my phone every time I go to recovery. What if I make a mistake and go to recovery? That means I must wipe/factory reset my phone before using.
Please help!

If it's telling you "failed to mount /data", go to wipe > format data and type yes. Factory reset, do your things and then reboot back and install what you want, you shouldn't get the error anymore.
But later if I want to flash another thing like a mod, I have to wipe data again

Nono. Wipe data once, factory reset in twrp, and you don't need to wipe data again after that. Only wipe it once after you format data.

Okay, thanks for the help

OrangeFox Error: "Fox addons unavailable, can't access it's files, try mount /data or reinstall OrangeFox if /data was wiped."

This error always happens and stays forever after I reboot into the rom the first time. I turn on OTA updates for the ROM all the time, and currently on crDroid 6.11. Error makes it so I cannot flash other things on top of the rom like ANXCamera.
Tried to repair the /data partition, but it also comes out with an error:
/sbin/e2fsck -fp /dev/block/mmcblk0p66 process ended with ERROR: 1
Unable to repair data. I rebooted to system, then rebooted back to the recovery, and repaired the /data partition again, but this time it was successful. but it did not solve the issue, the "Have you lost something?" prompt stayed there.
Decryption works fine, I have a pattern lock and fingerprint, and when booting into recovery and OrangeFox asking for the pattern to decrypt the drive, it works fine and I can see the files, so I don't think its an encryption issue.
I also flashed Magisk by rebooting to recovery a second time after flashing the rom then flashing Magisk.zip
The only way I worked around this issue before was by wiping system, cache, dalvik and formatting data partition, and reinstalling OrangeFox. but it still comes back after flashing crDroid again and booting into the ROM, I don't have any idea how to fix the error.
Every time you install a new ROM, the internal storage in wiped . Internal storage contains a folder "Fox" which contains OrangeFox addons. When it gets deleted , you get that message in recovery.
