TWRP can't flash anything. - Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I recently dusted off my Nexus 6 to test a few projects on and wanted to update everything. But no matter what I try within TWRP, every zip/img fails. Any guidance on how to repair the filesystem would be helpful. The attached images is the error. For now it seems shamu has been beached:crying:
Running TWP 3.1.1.0
ROM: LineageOS, not sure which version
Android version: 7.1.1
Bootloader is unlocked

Update to the latest TWRP and see if that helps. You want version 3.2.1-0.

Thanks, I just tried that. I was able to flash the recovery img through adb, but any attempt to flash a zip through fails with the same errors

format data on twrp you will lose everything so do backup
belive ihave the same problen but when i formated data with twrp the problem is gone so got to twrp - wipe -format data Type yes

Your safest bet would be going for a factory image, and then reflash twrp and then try again to see if everything is allright.
Or try formatting data from TWRP, like person above me mentioned. USB Drive+otg adapter might come in handy to keep stuff you want to flash there

I'll give this a shot, seems likely it will rebuild the corrupted bits.

but when you format your data you need to reboot to recovery again the copy your rom zip and gapps to your phone with pc or otg and flash

Ive been using a custom rom for some time all working fine, today I thought Id try another so I booted to recovery, full wiped and flashed another rom & gapps package.
It seemed to install and TWRP promted to reboot system which I did.
Now the problem begins, it only booted to the black google screen. I hard reset to get into recovery and everything had gone including internal storage.
I was able to push my rom and gapps zips to data but when I try to install TWRP throws up errors about unable to mount storage data etc...
I tried flashing latest TWRP and erasing cache, but still same problem.
So I have no idea how to turn this paperweight back into a phone!
Try
fastboot format cache
fastboot format userdata

Thank you very much rootSU
I was trying to find the adb help guide you posted before, thought I had it bookmarked but I didn't and now I remember the name rootSU.
You helped me out once before when I had problems with my DHD.
Thanks again, very much appreciated.

Stuck in bootloader & TWRP recovery is just blinking

Hi Anyone please help me. My Moto G model is XT1068
Before flashing new Titan Prime ROM, I wiped data, cache, dalvik cache, internal storage. But i got this Error : E:unable to mount data
Even unable to mount data manually using TWRP.
So finally tried to flash Moto G stock from Auto Restore Script, but it shows device not found,
now even recovery is not working, when i select recovery from boot mode selection menu by pressing volume+ key, TWRP just blinks everytime.
Anyone please help me.
You don't wipe Internal Storage! Its System you are supposed to wipe. You are going to have to reflash Titan Prime or Stock via adb. If you flash stock you will have to root your phone again and reinstall TWRP. TP has TWRP bundled with the ROM and is prerooted so you won't need to. Make sure you have the usb drivers for the device installed on the pc, otherwise you'll get 'cannot find device' errors.

Ignore duck guy.
Do this:
1. Reboot to bootloader.
2. Execute "fastboot -w".
3. Boot TWRP.
4. Change filesystem of /data to EXT4 and then change it back to F2FS.
5. Change filesystem of /cache to EXT4.
6. You're done :3

But your solution requires too much time. Downloading those factory images takes 2h since filefactory aka the worst hosting has DL capped to 100KB/s xD

Still recovery was blinking.
Finally my PC recognized device from bootloader,
flashed, stock lollipop Auto Restore Script, which i had already downloaded from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/mot...dows-tool-moto-g-2014-xt1064-restore-t2957167
then once again flashed recovery,
now everything is fine.
It was my mistake, i wiped internal storage.

I need help. My 3T has no OS and won't mount data partition in twrp.

I guess I wasn't paying close enough attention and I tried installing the 7.0 update from this thread.
I can now only get to TWRP recovery and fastboot. When I'm in TWRP my internal storage says 0MB and it won't let me mount the data partition. Flashing anything fails.
Fastboot format userdata

Flash the stock recovery through fastboot. You can use the toolkit found here on xda forums.
Also you can format data in TWRP and then it should work, but you lose everything in internal storage, pics, music, all your own stuff.
Thanks guys. I got the stock recovery installed and it wiped everything, which was fine. I already backed up important stuff. It seems the update went through because I have Nougat now. But I'm having trouble installing any other roms. It wants to decrypt but it doesn't work. I read on the TWRP post that you can set a boot password and it would update the crypto key type or something and it should work after that. Well I did that, but twrp still won't accept my password and let me flash anything.

I had the same problem. I used the 3T toolkit to force decrypt (Option 14). This worked for me.

I just did this and it worked in TWRP: I was able to create a backup (which is not possbible in password-bugged state) and then I noticed I still was not able to mount the USB partition and thought I had to boot in to OOS once, so I did it, set up the bare minimum and then checked back at TWRP and voilĂ : Locked again.
The OOS said "encrypted" as well after I booted it.
I was (am) running 7.0, TWRP, non rooted (because I freaking can't)
Anynone can help here?

Did you flash SuperSU before booting into OOS? Not sure what to tell you I did the Force Decrypt then went into TWRP and immediately flashed SuperSU.

,Using the toolkit take the option 14....To push decryption..,
DONT boot to your ROM...With the toolkit push the SuperSU and then flash it...
Now you can boot to your ROM....
If you boot without SuperSU will reenforse encryption.....

Push with adb sideload? Because I was not able to get that going for me. ADB is installed on my PC. Also is there a way to backup my apps and data without root? I just set everything up. Thanks for the help

Nice haha, Ill try it later. Thank you really much
So there is currently no way to root and use TWRP without completely disabling encryption?
I'm having the same issues as the OP here. Whenever I go to use the toolkit it says "the system cannot find the path specified." Any ideas? I've tried within Android and in TWRP..

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.

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?

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

Phone keeps booting into twrp

I tried flashing evolution x 11 today, after wiping i realized i forgot to update the vendor, so i tried restoring thr backup but that didnt work so i downloaded the latest vendor and flashed it followed by the rom but it still didnt work. So i flashed an old android 10 rom but that didnt work either. Anything i do, it just keeps booting into recovery.
is formatting data gonna help?

Yes. Also read this thread, mainly posts 2 & 3. It has very useful info about backup, restore, etc for encrypted phones.
format first, download latest vendor for your phone https://downloads.akhilnarang.dev/MIUI/raphael/ from here. flash vendor, reboot recovery, then flash everything else.
