Hello All,
I have a Samsung Galaxy I9070.
I have rooted the device from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2087424 and it worked fine.
After that i tried to Flash a CWM 5 XX version,
1. I wiped all the data/reset
2. While flashing it from "Apply update from external storage" the device got powered off.
3, I did a hard restart to enter recovery mode and then CWM showed up and stared to blink.
4. Now i got a error as E: Failed to mount / efs(invalid argument).
5. i have restarted the device.
6. i am getting a error as Unfortunately,the processcom.google.process.gapps has stopped.
Now i thought to flash a new rom from SD card and then it may work.
1. i flashed cynogen Mod 11.0
2. after that it is just stuck at the starting screen of Cynogen Mod logo.
Now i have restored the Jellybean from Odin and still i get the same error as Unfortunately,the processcom.google.process.gapps has stopped.
and also in the recovery mode E: Failed to mount / efs(invalid argument). this error stayed.
Please help me to get the device back to working.
Just an update-
1. i have used ODIN and installed Ginger bread on it.
2. The phone got turned on and working.
3. I am not able to connect to Wifi.
4. But when i go to recovery mode, it still shows that error as E: Failed to mount / efs(invalid argument).
5. I think this this EFS file is corrupted and so Mac address of the device is corrupted.
How do i fix this error. Please help. i have not taken a backup of this efs.
Thanks All.

Try this maybe.
I have the same problem.
I wanted to flash a new rom and and deleted some unnecessary folders and I deleted some hidden folders.
I can enter on recovery/downloading but I can't flash any rom.
I've flashed a stock rom (JB) via Odin and it restart the device on setup screen but it gives 2 errors (I'll post the images).
I've flashed another stock rom (GB) via Odin and it restart the device on the home screen but whenever I go to recovery it shows me the the message E: Failed to mount / efs (Invalid argument)
I've tried some methods I've found on the forum but they didn't work.
The link posted don't work for me.
My phone connect to 3G and don't shows the error "Baseband and IMEI unknown / Baseband unchangeable".
I didn't find any thread on the forum with the answer for my problem.
I've bought a used Moto G 2014 XT1068 with a software bug trusting that i can get it to work again.
It shows the message "Warning Bootloader Unlocked". So i activated AP fastboot mode by holding PowerButton and VolDown. Then I flashed TWRP_2.8.0.1_Titan_v2, TWRP2.7.1.1-titan-motog-2014 and twrp-2.8.6.0-titan via ADB but it none of them is starting when i select the recovery button in fastboot mode. Instead of Teamwin logo it goes to the laying android with red triangle.
Then i tried to boot the recovery.img via ADB with "fastboot boot XXX.img" and then the Teamwin logo arises but it stucked with any TWRP i used.
Then i tried to use CWM_Touch_Titan_v2.img in the same way and it worked (only with ADB command again). So i wanted to wipe all to install a new ROM but then it stucked while it says: Formatting /data...
When i try to install a ROM by choosing the .zip-file form /external_sd it seems to work but a few seconds later the message is:

Try flashing using twrp. Some roms don't flash properly with cwm , connect ur phone to ur PC, enter bootloader mode, and open command window(shift + right click) from ur adb folder (place twrp 2.8.6 img in that folder, rename it as twrp ,remove the 2.8.6 n img ) and enter, adb devices (in cmd window) , if it shows connected, enter fastboot flash recovery twrp.img , then unplug and select recovery from bootloader menu. Take backup of rom, n wipe system, data and cache and flash rom, gapps n supersu.
Hope this helps, pm me if u need help.
Sent from my Moto G 2014 using Tapatalk
This is true, i had this same problem ,i rename as twrp , no 2.8.6 .img etc.. twrp flashed.
It worked now. I couldn't start twrp by selecting recovery from bootloader menu but i started twrp with ADB via "fastboot boot twrp". It showed just the teamwin logo first for about 15 minutes but then it started twrp. So i pressed the log button to see why it took so long. There were hundreds of red messages.
The Message is always like: "E: Unable to stat '/data/..."
I tried to wipe my data and cache. Dalvik cache und cache worked fine but when it comes to data there are always the messages "E: Unable to stat '/data/..."
I get the the same messages when i try to install a ROM.
Is it possible that my internal storage is broken? :crying:
Hello everyone,

I already firgued it out, but tnx for the response.
I bought sd card(didnt have one), did dload method, since normal one approach didnt work i used force update approach(dload moved to sd card, power off, hold vol+ + vol- + power button and it installed) also i needed to flash stock recovery beforehand(so it removes twrp, used fastboot to do it, phone was unlocked, power off connect to PC via usb cable and hold down vol- right away, then flash it through fastboot), it cant do force update with twrp still installed.Once it was done i normally booted to stock rom, phone was no longer unlocked, now i unlocked it flashed twrp and rooted it, everything works just fine.Hope it helps some1 with the same problem.
source: https://forum.xda-developers.com/p10-lite/help/original-service-rom-huawei-p10-lite-t3688097 , there is guide thing for both normal and force update
Thank for the help. It gives me a clue but I am still struggling as the force update approach get stuck at 5%. Thanks anyway.
This thread outlines the exact steps in installing a custom ROM on your Huawei Honor Note 10 device with either EMUI 8 or EMUI 9. You can install and run TWRP on both EMUI and or EMUI 9.
Make sure to follow this guide precisely, as order matters. At the end, I will post an explanation of why we need to execute these steps. I spent an entire weekend of trial and error on my Huawei Honor Note 10, and now I have figured out the ins and outs so you don't have to. You're welcome
Prerequisites
Huawei Honor Note 10 device, either on stock ROM or rooted (doesn't matter)
MicroSD card (formatted exFAT or FAT, doesn't matter)
Bootloader unlock code for Huawei Honor Note 10 (follows a format like my own HBP38K14DBK2RNB4)
Computer with admin privileges
Before You Flash Anything
Back up, back up, back up! I am not responsible if you lose valuable or sensitive data. Your Huawei Honor Note 10 will factory reset a number of times (probably more) before you can get back up and running again. Either use TWRP to do this, or use HiSuite (not recommended but will work on a locked bootloader).
Remove your SIM card! Your carrier may get charged ridiculous amounts of fees if you have a limited data plan, such as 256MB (Canada has notoriously expensive phone plans, so Canadians beware). When you reboot, expect Huawei's stock ROM to use copious amounts of data on retrieving the latest version of bloatware and spyware.
Ensure you have stock recovery installed. If you don't, download the stock recovery image, place it in your Minimal ADB and Fastboot folder, then boot to download mode by holding the VOLUME DOWN button and simultaneously plug in in your Huawei Honor Note 10 device, then open Minimal ADB and Fastboot on your computer and run this command:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk RECOVERY_RAMDIS.img
Steps to Install Custom ROM on Huawei Honor Note 10
Download the EMUI 9 stock ROM and place the dload folder on your MicroSD card
Boot to (stock) recovery by holding down the VOLUME UP, VOLUME DOWN, and POWER buttons at the same time. The update should begin immediately. Wait patiently for your phone to reboot
Fill out the bloatware questionnaire by Huawei and download any and all updates under Settings. This will ensure you have the latest boot image. You will reboot at least once.
Once you have completed all the updates, reboot to download mode; press and hold the VOLUME DOWN button while you plug in your Huawei Honor Note 10 device to your computer
On your computer, download and open Minimal ADB and Fastboot
Run the following command:
Code:
fastboot oem unlock <code>
(where code corresponds to a format that looks like this: HBP38K14DBK2RNB4)
Confirm unlocking your bootloader by using the VOLUME keys, selecting yes, and pressing the POWER button. The Huawei Honor Note 10 device will now perform a factory reset
IMPORTANT step. DO NOT let the Huawei Honor Note 10 reboot. DO NOT. Impatiently wait for the low-level factory reset to complete and as soon as it does, enter download mode again by pressing the VOLUME DOWN key and plugging in the device again
Flash this TWRP recovery:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk HN10_Twrp.img
Reboot to recovery by holding the VOLUME UP and POWER buttons for over 5 seconds. You should see the TWRP logo, and it should boot up. It should boot up right away, so if TWRP hangs here on the TWRP logo, you need to skip back to step 2
IMPORTANT: wipe to factory reset. Wipe /system again via advanced wipe just to be safe
Install any custom ROM you wish via selecting a system image
IMPORTANT: disable_Dm-Verity_ForceEncrypt by installing this zip. If you don't do this, you won't be able to enter TWRP again
Optionally install magisk, titanium backup, and other magisk mods
Reboot system and profit
Update: 2021-04-06
Reboot to recovery by holding the VOLUME UP and POWER buttons for over 5 seconds. This should boot you to stock RECOVERY.
Wipe to factory reset. Confirm by typing "yes" (WARNING: this wipes your device)
Plug in your Huawei Honor Note 10 to your PC with ADB
Boot to DOWNLOAD mode by holding down the VOLUME DOWN button as soon as your Huawei Honor Note 10 reboots
Flash this TWRP recovery:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk HN10_Twrp.img
Reboot to recovery by holding the VOLUME UP and POWER buttons for over 5 seconds. You should see the TWRP logo, and it should boot up. It should boot up right away, so if TWRP hangs here on the TWRP logo, you need to skip back to step 2
Install any custom ROM you wish via selecting a system image (or zip file if you have EMUI 8)
Install magisk, titanium backup, and other magisk mods (note that you will NOT be able to boot to recovery after this; consider this you last chance to install any mods)
Reboot system and profit
Background and Explanation
When you first flash a ROM, even in EMUI 8, your Huawei Honor Note 10 encrypts /system to prevent third parties such as TWRP from mounting it. Hence, you may successfully boot to TWRP, but /system will be mounted as read-only. This is problematic, as it means you can't install any new ROMs (however, you can make a backup, which can be useful for backing up stock, encrypted /system partitions)
Because /system gets encrypted, it means you have to wipe /system completely. Doing a factory reset (low-level) does this, once you unlock your bootloader. However, if you were to let your Huawei Honor Note 10 boot, then the stock ROM would, by default, encrypt /system, forcing you to start this process all over again (as TWRP will, in most cases, not even boot with an encrypted /system). If your TWRP hangs on the TWRP logo, your /system partition is likely encrypted. You need to factory reset, install TWRP again, and then wipe /system, followed by installing the Disable_Dm-Verity_ForceEncrypt_01.15.2020.zip script.

I hope this guide helps other fellow Huawei Honor Note 10 owners. If you have any questions, please also make sure to include your EMUI version and steps taken so that I can best help you. I hope that I have saved some of you trouble when updating to EMUI 9 and also helped to explain why updating can become so tedious.
Thank you for the instructions! I've got some questions...

Yep, so it sounds like you have an encrypted /data.
Make sure you can safely wipe the entire device, then try the following in download mode:
Bash:
fastboot erase userdata
(Note: this will erase everything on /data)
Then boot to TWRP again. Check the logs and try again.

How do I wipe the entire device? I have done step 8 properly (get into fastboot immediately after low-level factory reset completes) and wiped system in TWRP, but still get the error messages.

That will wipe /data.
Since you can also boot to TWRP, then try wiping /system, cache, and dalvik (factory reset). If you can also wipe /data, then that might also work in TWRP, depending on which version you're using.

After reinstalling the stock ROM and unlock bootloader and flash TWRP again, I performed "fastboot erase system" and "fastboot erase userdata" in fastboot, then wiped Dalvik, cache, Cust, Data, system, Product and Version in TWRP. However, I am still getting the "Failed to mount '/odm' (Invalid argument)" error message
I can't wipe odm in TWRP since there is no such option, and I can't perform "fastboot erase odm" as it shows up an error message saying "FAILED (remote: Command not allowed)". What should I do now?

If you roll back to stock and unlock your bootloader again, then you don't need to do fastboot erase userdata because "factory reset low-level" will perform that once you unlock your bootloader again. So you should be able to flash TWRP, boot fine (only that one time), install whatever ROM you want, flash magisk, and boot (note: on EMUI9, you must reboot to recovery, as boot_ramdisk only exists in EMUI8).
In the past, I have ignored the message "failed to mount '/odm'" and still had success; just pay attention to the status code at the end when you install /system. Don't bother wiping odm, as we really care about mounting /system. Perform a factory reset just to be safe, and feel free to wipe /data, but it won't matter if you already performed a factory-reset (low-level) from unlocking your bootloader again.
Try installing your ROM of choice from TWRP despite this error, flashing magisk, and confirm if that works.

I second that. Magisk installed in boot.img but ROM doesn't recognize root, installing SuperSU says done but no result. Once I got SuperSU to get into stage where it said that boot might take longer and it was recognized but I can't replicate that anymore.

so I open Magisk app and patch RECOVERY_RAMDIS.img, then flash RECOVERY_RAMDIS.img and after that flash TWRP ? TWRP won't overwrite RECOVERY_RAMDIS.img ?

@Darj , did you manage to sort out rooting your Huawei Honor Note 10? I've updated the installation steps to reflect the shortened steps I last took to get Magisk running (downgraded to EMUI8 on my Huawei Honor Note 10 to try to preserve TWRP).
Hopefully, we'll see more ROMS from the OpenKirin project, as the latest security patch is almost a year old on EMUI8.
@ForgottenSolstace not yet. I want to make sure I have all the informations I need before spending money to unlock the bootloader
@Darj , it only costs 15USD to unlock your Huawei Honor Note 10. Why not go ahead and try?
I assure you that the effort is much worth it; Stock ROM is bloated with all kinds of spyware from the Chinese government. When you install AOSP, you can actually secure your phone following the updated instructions which encrypts /data.
Let me know if you have any questions. Happy to help
