Hello.
I am getting an error that says "not enough space in /data, found 4G" when flashing Ubuntu Touch preview on my Nexus 4. It is running 4.2.
Any ideas? Thanks!

Same - and fixed

I had the same thing happen on my Nexus 7. Try restoring to factory settings by entering Fastboot ~ Recovery ~ Factory Reset.
Good luck!

Hello,
This is often caused by the device not having enough space in the /data/ mount for the initial adb image push. If the initial image cannot fit on the Internal SD Card, this error will happen. A factory reset is the fastest way to resolve this, you can also search for old nandroid backups or roms that could also be on the phone/tablet.

[Q] G Tab encrytion unsuccessful...what now?

I started up my Gtab today (running ICS 4.0.x), and it keeps popping up stating "Encryption unsuccessful
Encryption was interrupted and can't complete. As a result the data on your tablet is no longer accessible.
To resume using your tablet, you must perform a factory reset. When you setup your tablet after the reset, you'll have an opportunity to restore any data that was backed up to your Google Account."
WTF?
I tried booting into recovery mode, but it hangs after stating "Recovery key detected, Booting recovery kernel image"
That's all it does....
Any suggestions on how to correct this?
Thanks ahead of time...

1. As the message says you'll most probably have to do a "wipe data/factory reset" in CWM. Run the command in this post.
2. Which version of CWM do you have?
Im not certain what version CWM is but it was the most up to date at the time. I cant access CWM as it sits now.
Should I try to use NVflash to rerun the Full_Stock_NVFlash_CWM_5504_Touch-1, just as I did before I installed ICS?...then reinstall the rom?
I can not access CWM...it locks up after stating "booting recovery kernel image"

The usual reason for that error message on ICS is a corrupted /data partition. To fix it you'll have to do either a "wipe data/factory reset" or a repartition the internal SD card in CWM.
GunRunner said:

The most common reason for that is
a) using the wrong version of CWM for the bootloader installed on the system--ie. using a recovery containing a 1.2 kernel on a 1.1 bootloader or vice-versa.
OR
b) a corrupted recovery partition.
To fix both on ICS--esp. if you've used the nvflash package in the TeamDRH ICS OP--try reloading only CWM-5.5.0.4Beta15 using nvflash.
Can you tell me what you were doing before all this happened? I can understand the /data partition becoming corrupt, or, the recovery kernel being the wrong one (or the partition being bad), but, I can't figure out how both can happen at the same time without something explicitly being done to cause it.
Not sure if it helps but I am also getting this error, I will update as I attempt to troubleshoot.
ROM: G_Harmony_ICSv1.5(120)(SuperCharged) (4.0.4)
CWM: 2.5.1.1-bekit-0.8
I got both errors but the second was solved by unplugging my computers USB cable from the g-tab.
(I can not access CWM...it locks up after stating "booting recovery kernel image") SOLVED
Steps:
1. From the settings picked factory reset loose all data and SD card data.
2. Reboot to recovery (CWM).
3. Formatted the internal SD card and ExSD card using CWM.
4. Mounted SD card on computer using USB cable connected to the G-Tab.
5. Let windows format the SD card. (Was this bad?)
6. Loaded ROM.zip file over to SD card from computer.
7. wipe data/factory reset.
8. wipe cache partition.
9. install zip from SD card -> coose zip from sdcard -> G_Harmony_ICSv1.5(120)(SuperCharged).zip
10. Install.
11. Reboot.
12. Error screen "Encryption unsuccessful Encryption was interrupted and can't complete. As a result the data on your tablet is no longer accessible...." "Press this button to do a factory reset"
13. Press the button to the same results.

UPDATE 1:
When I did a rewipe i found that when i did the data wipe is said:
-- Wiping data...
Formatting DATA...
E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk3p2
(No such file or directory)
Error mounting /data/!
Skipping format...
Formatting CACHE:...
Formatting SDEXT:...

Could it be that when I used my computer to format the SD card I did it wrong?
UPDATE 2:
I was browsing around the CWM options and I found:
advanced -> Partition SD Card
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
So I did that and then a data wipe again, and this time it said:
-- Wiping data...
Formatting DATA...
<<NOTE THE LACK OF ERRORS>>
Formatting CACHE:...
Formatting SDEXT:...
No app2sd partition found. Skipping format of /sd-ext.
Formatting SDCARD:/android_secure...
Data wipe complete.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I am hoping things should work now, I picked 2GB with a 0MB swap.
UPDATE 3:
Ok... should have figured that deleted my SD card files including my ROM "G_Harmony_ICSv1.5(120)(SuperCharged).zip" so I mounted it and copied it over again.
(I also did some mounting and unmounted and may have lost it there.)
UPDATE 4:
IT WORKS!! fixed, must have been because I formatted out the data partition, but CWM fixed this for me!
I hope this helps others with the same issue.

[Q] Can't wipe data / factory reset

Ok, I have been searching for my exact issue for the greater part of today trying to solve my issue and I haven't come across anything so far.
I am on running gingerbread 2.3.4 with the UnOriginal 1.4.6 minimalist edition rom.
Basically, whenever I reboot my phone, it reverts back to its state on Sept. 27. For instance If I send a text, upload some music from my computer to the phone, and take a picture, all of that data will be missing when I reboot. All of the texts I sent, pictures I took, numbers I've added, etc. are gone. I can't put files on my phone anymore because as soon as I take it out of USB storage mode, the files are gone.
Things I have tried:
1. A factory reset / wipe data from the phone's settings menu and from CWM
2. formatting /system, /data, and /cache in the "mounts and storage" menu in CWM
3. formatting the phone from my computer
4. flashing a stock rom and PIT file from Odin
5. flashing a rom from CWM
No matter what I do, it always boots up the same as always with the same boot animation, the same text convos, same address book, pictures, etc.
I can't mount anything in CWM's "mount and storage" menu. It just gives an error: "unable to write to ums lunfile"
Does anybody have any ideas? I'm completely stumped at this point.

Thanks for the quick reply. should I format /emmc? I formatted system, data, and cache and when I rebooted, it still booted up to it's sept. 27th state. Should I format system, data, cache, and emmc and then try to get into download mode for odin? Could it be a faulty internal SD?

Mount storage to your pc and delete everything (make a backup if you want). And just put one rom in there and see if the problem persists after flash

I mounted the phone to my computer via the in phone prompt instead of CWM and deleted everything off of the internal sd card. As soon as I disconnected the phone from usb storage mode, I used the file browser on the phone and all of the files were still there. Wiping and formatting everything and flashing a new rom in CWM yielded no results as well.
This is really strange behavior to me. Any other suggestions?
You're Making this waaaaaaay to complicated. Just flash another rom. Unless you used rom manager to get into recovery. In which case you didn't read enough. But if not yeah just flash a rom.

Alright so when I go into "mounts and storage" in CWM, I can mount/unmount everything except /sdcard and USB storage.
When I try to mount /sdcard it just says: "Error mounting /sdcard"
When I try to mount USB storage, it says: "E:Unable to write to ums lunfile (No such file or directory)"
What's up with that?

When it says mount USB storage it means external sd card. How do you have your sd card currently formatted? (fat32)?

Ok, well that explains why I can't mount USB storage as I don't have an external sd card, only the internal one.
I tried to reformat the internal sd card from my computer to fat32 (it was already fat32), but it didn't actually wipe anything. I'l try unchecking "quick format".
I tried wiping and flashing a few more roms, but still nothing changes.
Thanks for all the help so far guys, but I still can't figure out what's going on and why I can't seem to modify data on the sdcard long-term.
Galaxy y Duos bricked phone!
My Galaxy y duos is bricked! It stays on Galaxy Logo, I have already tried to flash stock rom and kernel with odin, but it says "Status 7 Can´t mount system Intallation aborted (invalid argument)" so i flashed the kernel and now says " Status 0 intallation aborted (invalid argument)!! I can´t wipe data/factory or cache too when i do that it says "failed to wipe on......."
It started when i tried to intall a custom rom, them i tried to flash with Odin, but i got the wrong files! after that it got White screen, i flashed with odin again (with t:crying::crying:he correct files) then it stays on galaxy Y LOGO!!
I dont Know what to do anymore! Please HELP!! :crying:

U posted in the wrong q & a.
This forum is for the sgh-i777.
this problem has been solved? or not yet? cause this my problem too. Cant wipe data. The rom and data are still there.
Why did you necro a 2 year old thread? It would be better to post a new thread stating your issues and information.
I do not remember this issue ever being solved. This may be the only person that has posted with an issue like this, as far as I can remember, until you posted.
What are your symptoms exactly; What firmware is on the phone; What can you do with the phone; What have you tried? Give as much information about your phone as you can think of.
For instance, have you tried flashing the full stock distribution with Odin?
How do you perform this step? mounting the device on your pc. I've tried to do this via terminal on the device itself but it can't get to mount the partitions i need to wipe.

[Q] Talk, Trebuchet errors. Explain cm10 boot menu? iamafan's build

Hi all, I built my sdcard per: http://iamafanof.wordpress.com/2012/...r-nook-tablet/ (built by"Succulent")
My kids have two NT's. With two 16GB Sdcards, one class4 the other class 10. I know class4 is recommended, but one poster in forums said he's taken images of CM built on class4's and applied this image to class 10's in several cases and has had no problems. So I thought what the heck, can't hurt to try, so that's what I did (using Winimage). It booted fine 5 or 6 times for me, and I installed several APK's of games from Humble Bundle . I turned over the Nook to my little girl and she brought it back to me later showing she gets errors on boot, after swiping the lock symbol to unlock it. One is "Unfortunately, Talk has stopped". If you click OK on this, you get ""Unfortunately, Trebuchet has stopped". Clicking OK on this does nothing, it keeps popping up indefinitely. I don't know if the sdcard is hot pluggable (can be removed with power to the tablet), but she did admit to doing this. So I'm wondering if some corruption occurred to the CM build on the sdcard. Has anyone seen these errors? I could reflash it from the image I made off the class 4, but want to understand what happened so we don't run into it again. The funny thing is, I don't recall the startup wizard off the 1st class4 card prompting me with several screens regarding Google crap like it did on the 2nd card which was flashed from the same image. That was even after telling it I had no Google acct hoping it would leave me alone.
can anyone explain the boot menu you get when you press the N button? (I'm not including the faded selections) I'm wondering especially about the recovery options. Here's my menu:
INT BOOT ( I assume will boot to B&N native OS?)
INT RECOVERY ?
SDC RECOVERY ?
SDC BOOT (Iassume, boot to CM10 off sdcard?)
SDC ALTBOOT ?
START FASTBOOT ?

Yes,
internal boot - boots Rom in emmc
Internal recovery - recovery in emmc
Sdcard boot - boots your sdcard Rom.
Sdcard recovery - boots sd card recovery ( keep recovery.img in root of sdcard for it to load recovery)
Sdcard altboot - alternate recovery ( not necessary, unless you want both cwm and twrp at same time)
Fastboot - fastboot mode , fastboot commands to flash .img file etc with this method .
As for your problem, try entering recovery, wipe cache and dalvik cache partition (I've done this on emmc version, never tried sdcard version of any Rom) this may solve the issue. If not try factory reset.
And removing sdcard while device is switched on is called hot swapping , hot plug is a CPU governor. Not sure if sdcard roms are hot swappable, but I think not.

emmc=internal nook memory I assume?
Oh, and...just to clarify, I haven't modified (rooted) my tablet. (you mention factory reset). I should mention that with the sdcard out, it boots B&N OS just fine.
And the part you say about wiping the two caches, so I should go into SD Card Recovery to do that? Once you get into it, you have various choices like the ones you mention? (I'd read that this choice was to backup your NT to sdcard). And please, I want to be very, very careful not to wipe out the B&N stock OS, so please, any detailed instructions you can give so I don't make that mistake, I'd greatly appreciate it. (I see so many posts on these forums about people bricking their Nook tablets it worries me.)

Um I don't know much about how it works for sdcard Rom. I've always only used emmc version. I guess if you were to enter recovery, it would access the stock cache partition by default , and we aren't trying to clear that.
Try this - use titanium backup (only talking about your sdcard Rom here, nothing to do with your stock) and in options, you may be able to wipe your cache or dalvik cache.
Or,
boot into your sdcard Rom, in settings > backup and restore > factory reset. This will delete all user data and return Rom to original Cm10 that you flashed on sdcard.
Or if it's only google talk and trebuchet launcher issue, install a new launcher (go launcher, adw etc) , then use titanium backup to uninstall trebuchet and talk.
Sent from my ST27i
From what I see, titanium backup is an android app. If I can't boot to Android (Trebuchet error loops as I said) I don't know how I can install this to do anything? Nor can I install another launcher or go into Settings as the error doesn't let you get any further.
I guess if there was a way to browse files/folders on the sdcard partitions on the sd to manually delete the cache files.....but if they're linux partitions (ext3 or4) you can't do that under windows...

In cwm, enter mounts and backup, then (if) you see /sdcard /cache, mount that and format that ONLY.
Do not format anything else as some options can brick device (Rom, bootdata, factory etc)
Wiping cache is safe (99%)
Again, I have never used sdcard Rom so I don't know what will show up in your recovery. But if you see something like sdcard cache, it can be cleared. If it doesn't specify sdcard, let us assume it refers to stock emmc.

Why backing up now when it's not working? Fix your issue, then make a backup. So the next time there's a problem you can restore to working condition.

Well, backing up, I think, was a good suggestion by Digimax. So I'm glad I did it. and now i know how to do it for future. Just in case anything EVER goes wrong, I'll always have that image now on my pc. Bad thing was, apparently B&N nook OS apparently keeps lots of APKs around after installing them. I had to make my 1st fat32 partition over 2GB for the entire backup to process without running out of space. backup size=1.6gb
I ran into lost chains - convert to cluster msgs trying to delete the folder of the first failed backup, but it never would delete even after a chkdsk, so I formatted the card and put the original image back onto it, adjusted the partitions, and then ran into a new probem.....the Cyanomod spinning logo never stopping spinning so it won't boot up. So I give up. I don't know if it's that it's a class 10 card that all these problems are happening. barring any other suggestions, I guess I'll make sure the other NT we have runs stable for a few weeks and if so I'll order another class 4 like that one has.

I don't know about your bootloop issue, but I don't think it's a sdcard class issue.
Anyhow, now that you have stock backup, aren't you going to consider flashing cm10 internally? Do you actually use stock?
Sent from my ST27i
I'm a little leery of it, at least while it's under warranty. I don't know how reliable recovery is.? Besides, my daughter wasn't thrilled with it being down for several days with me fussing with it and asked if she could have her "B&N boot" back I admit It is a bit of a pain having to pull it out of it's case, lift the flap, pop-in or out the sdcard to switch between them. (& also to have to remember to always turn it off b4 removing/inserting)
I may do it in the future though. Thanks for the help
FWIW, you don't have to actually remove the card to boot into stock. Just reboot, hold "n" to get into Cyaonoboot menu and choos "int boot" or something like that, and it will boot to stock with the sd-card still inserted.
Great, thanks for that tip!
Card died
I think many of these symptoms could have been caused by a dying card. It did have a corruption error once, and then it finally completely died. Just for anyone else that runs into these.

FWIW, /cache does not need to be backed up, which should help reduce the backup space requirement.

Wiped Everything Under CWM --> Boot Loop?

Hi, I was having some issues on my Nook Tablet 16gb, so I thought I would format everything (actually format every single item 3x) with the goal of having a fresh boot without issues. But then when I installed Slim Rom or any other ROM it installs them and when I hit "reboot system now" on CWM after installing the NEW Rom, it tries to load and goes to the Big N shape boot animation and then back to CWM.
What would you suggest I do?
Thanks a lot!

Don't press "reboot system now" when you want to exit recovery. Power down system then power it on again. It should boot just fine.

Your boot-loop problem might be due to invalid or missing data in /bootdata resulted from your having wiped this partition, see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=21381141&postcount=1. You can try restoring the data by flashing flashable_fix_bootloop.zip from http://goo.im/devs/succulent/acclaim/recovery.

Wiping ROM seems to have the effect of triggering a recovery every boot, which if you had the stock recovery should recover all the device info stored there. I had to use a repart.img sdcard which loaded stock 1.4.2 or 1.4.3 (Search for files and guides). Then I used a CWM sdcard and put custom recovery and ROM back on.

Your boot-loop problem might be due to invalid or missing data in /bootdata resulted from your having wiped this partition, see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=21381141&postcount=1. You can try restoring the data by flashing flashable_fix_bootloop.zip from http://goo.im/devs/succulent/acclaim/recovery.

The next likely cause of your problem is missing factory-installed device data (e.g., WiFi MAC address, security encryption keys, etc.) that are stored in /rom and /factory partitions which you stated in the OP you had wiped. Unfortunately I am not aware of any way to recover this original set of individual device specific data.
Did you try the stock files like I said before? That got my info back

Yeah I was able to use the thread by Adam to redo my tablet with the normal files for Rom through a SD card boot since the touch was not working.
Thank you, this was a great learning experience in my 5 years of playing around first time to cause a brick...

CWM Bootloop...
Hello all!
It seems I've gotten myself into a bit of trouble with my Nook Tablet. I had been running CM7 for quite some time and finally upgraded to CM10. Very nice! However I landed myself in a CWM boot loop after about a week and have not been able to recover.
First, I attempted to recover back to BN Stock, not knowing that it would not replace CWM with stock recovery. I still have CWM and half of a stock installation (repart.img from bn_142_factory_recovery.zip). From what I understand, the stock BN software is trying to boot to recovery to complete the install, although it was in bootloop before that attempt was made.
Since then, I have tried flashable_fix_bootloop.zip as well as cwm_6.0.2.9_acclaim_recovery_sdcard.img to no avail. I fear that I may have made the mistake of formatting too many things as mentioned at the top of this thread to get into myself here in the first place. What is my next step?
Much appreciated!

You could try what I tell the poster in the topic "At wits end". In the beginning of the topic I described an easy way to make a notable COM card. You can then jump to the end of the topic and try to use my backup file. I will remove access to that file later today and I don't know if it will work at all but at least it's worth a try.

Thank you for your reply, asawi!
I've begun the download. From what I understand, this will give me a bootable MicroSD into CM10. If that is correct and it boots as it should, I can then install this image as firmware in some fashion or at least be able to repair the damage done so that I can reinstall CM10?
[Warranty is of no concern. I bought this Nook Tablet in used condition quite some time ago with intent to use CM as primary OS, hence the use of CM7 for well over a year.]

If, this works (and that's a HUGE IF), twill leave you with a tablet running CM 1O from internal memory.
It is a two step thing though with two big downloads. The one from Iamafanof will make you a bootable CM10 card. Either you can use it as it's intended, or just use it to get into CWM recovery where you can go to backup and restore and try to restore the backup I made. Unzip my file first, like I tell the other poster.
Edit:I realized I had goofed up when posting the first backup. I have now put up another download of the whole "clockworkmod" folder in my Dropbox. Link in the "at wits end" topic. but I will only leave it up for a very limited time.

Using Cyanoboot from the bootable card, I am able to boot into SDC RECOVERY. From there I swap the SD card for another containing your your backup folder, navigate to 'backup and restore'/'restore'/'2013-09-17.16.18.21'. Restore process begins okay, but fails with "Error while restoring /system!"
I then went to 'advanced restore' and attempted restoring /boot, /system, /data, /cache, and /sd-ext individually with these results:
/boot = Restore Complete
/system = Error
/data = Error
/cache = Error
/sd-ext = sd-ext.img not found, Skipping restore...

If /boot was successfully restored, that's what matters the most (please, tell me you did NOT erase /rom, because if you did, you're in a really bad situation). You don't need to restore asawi's FULL backup. If the /boot partition is functioning normally now, you should be able to boot into your internally flashed CWM, wipe data/factory reset, wipe dalvik cache, and wipe system, then FLASH the ROM and gapps. You should not be experiencing the bootloops anymore (make sure to take out the SD card BEFORE rebooting to internal CWM).

How do I recover internal storage errors on Motorola Xoom MZ604.

Hi, I’m new so please be gentle….
How do I recover internal storage errors on Motorola Xoom MZ604.
Trying to upgrade Xoom to Omni 5.1.1 wingray, It installs but just blinks and antennae twitch - no access (even after sitting overnight) also tried Omni 4.4.4 no difference.
Went back to check TWRP3SD and found errors when wiping. Searched the internet (XDADevelop and elsewhere) for days and could find nothing for a fix. (BTW - I never have used a password on my Xoom)
Mounting internal storage (which has 0MB) indicates “Unable to mount storage”. Also, fails to mount /data and /cache, both with (Invalid argument)
Data and Cache have 0MB size and when trying to repair them, e2fsck gives error 8. System has size of 1007MB and e2fsck returns an error 4 when attempting repair. Also can’t wipe dalvik. Tried changing system from ext4 to FAT - error changing file system
Tried 3 versions of TWRP - 2.4.4.0-wingray/2.6.3.0-wingray/twrp3sd - no change in errors.
Funny - tried to fastboot flash recovery with multiple versions of CWM and all images error and can’t be sent.
In the beginning TWRP couldn’t see/mount the SD card and I believe at that time it mounted internal storage and had a value for Mbs (tho I can remember the amount). I went through the process of wiping and didn’t pay any attention if it worked or not. Sometime after (don’t ask me how) it could see the SDcard and I could install the ZIPs
Also, before this process when Xoom was in Cynogen, when I connected to windows PC (via USB) I could see internal storage and SDcard - now in TWRP, I just see SDcard. When OMNI come up there is no USB connection.
I must have tried factory reset, format data, repair or change file system about 50 times with no change (bordering on insanity maybe?)
I can supply a recovery.log if it will help.
Any pointers would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
Solved!
A big THANK YOU to everyone that helped.
I used the instructions at https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1052644 (thanks Eric Dabbs)
And found the xoom software downloads at http://www.xoomforums.com/forum/motorola-xoom-faq/11756-xoom-software-downloads.html (xoomforums)
This allowed entry into the initial rudimentary recovery whereby cache was deleted and a factory reset was performed. This version (3.0.1?) had about 3-4 updates. After applying all the updates, internal and external storage could be seen.
Then, upgraded TWRP to 2.7.1.0 big part. Internal storage was available and wiped all partitions (finally success) and installed a homemade Omni 4.4.4. Then, cleaned everything up in TWRP and installed a homemade OMNI 5.1.1. All working fine!
I see that there is a 6.0.1 Marshmallow for wingray….wish me luck!
