Phone wipe with TWRP not possible - failed to mount /data - encryption problem? - Honor 5C Questions & Answers

Hi,
I've maybe bricked my phone. I've to enter the encryption key after reboot, but the phone tells me that I have to make a factory reset even the password is correct. I tried to wipe it with TWRP (twrp-3.0.2-0-nemo.img) but it failed because /data cannot be mounted.
How can I wipe the phone? Help please!

Solved: I've extracted the recovery image from the stock rom and flashed it via fastboot.

Go to bootloader menu, and do factory reset. Then go back to recovery and see if it worked. It always works for me

I never had to mount those partitions when installing that ROM when I bricked mine. I just wiped all caches and installed from zip. Are you doing this?

I'm a idiot http://forum.xda-developers.com/memo-pad-7/general/5-0-brick-solution-asus-memo-pad-7-t3134814,
I didn't read this "This package is for "K013" devices; this is a "K013_1"." I was bricked for a week because of a random device "name change?" Well here are the steps I took to make a flashable lollipop that wouldnt brick me. What you are doing here is telling the script that does the update that it does not need to verify your tablet model since it is wrong anyways.
Now i follow the steps and my tablet is boot, i'm waiting.
EDIT: Still bricked, now i can enter in fastboot mode but when i power on the tablet, after the logo, the screen is black
I have the same problem and can't find any solution yet :crying::crying:

try to format all partitions and shutdown, then boot into bootloader and load temp recovery and reflash .33 then boot android normally if still doesnt work, then reinstall once more but without wiping any partitions, if it decides to boot to bootanimation but its stuck there you need to simply make a reboot and then it should boot.

phone not passing twrp splashscreen

I was running Freedom OS CE 2.5 and I dirty flashed official OOS 4.1.0 and got into a bootloop.
I restarted the phone into twrp and it told me that it was read only so I wasn't seeing any zip files. I tried to use repair in the Wipe section by changing file format. I think I chose FAT...I honestly can't remember. But when I swipe to repair and I got stock on updating partition. So I restarted the device into twrp again but this time I'm stock on just the splash screen....won't start.
All I'm getting into is bootloader mode.
Help please
Use fastboot to wipe recovery and flash TWRP again. Alternatively, directly sideload your ROM.

Thank you so much. But what about how I tried changing the format from what it was originally? Should I be worried or that's a minor issue?

You should reformat those partitions that you've changed. Ext4 or f2fs for /data and ext4 for all other partitions. This can be done through either fastboot or TWRP.

Are these the commands I should use?
c:\adb>fastboot erase recovery
c:\adb>fastboot flash recovery twrp
Well as you said, after this I can reenter recovery and reformat the partitions and I should be fine right?
Thanks for all your help man...

3.0.4-1 has proven to be the most stable so far.
I've also been using 3.1.0-1 for a while and haven't noticed any issues.
Avoid 3.1.0.0 though, as there has been many reports of issues with it.

MY PHONE IS RUNNING AGAIN! thanks for your help man.
Btw! Seeing that the positions were somewhat corrupted, I actually had to use stock recovery to sideload the stock ROM then flash TWRP and finally on freedom is 2.6.1
Thanks again, mate. :highfive:

I faced a similar issue with twrp , just try to flash twrp again using fastboot mode , in case it does not work again then try to flash it a few more times , it would surely work , I have already tried it , but before that try to factory reset ur phone using twrp and reboot to twrp and only use the first method if the problem exists after that

Wipe Data, seen in above screenshot, of course it deletes all your apps and data, but it's the only way.

P9 Lite boot loop - Phone and FRP Unlocked

Hey there!
I am opening this thread because my phone cannot turn on. It tries to turn, it shows the screen cannot be trusted and the it goes to erecovery. I have not done anything recently, but I noticed a few days ago that there was an update to a Huawei's app and probably that one was the cause.
I can access to TWRP recovery, my phone and FRP is unlocked. How can I bring again the phone to work (without deleting anything if possible)?
Thank you!

what is your phone model and what is the EMUI version?
Btw, the Recovery.img you can extract from fullOTA-MF firmware - first extract UPDATE.APP , then use "Huawei update extractor".
