UNIX for Beginners Questions & Answers

I have tried with 3.1 mako which is the latest for this phone,
I was actually able to delete and re create directories, files and do all other operations except the mount which has that super block issue.

Are you holding both volume up and volume down buttons when powering up?

Have you tried Clockwork Mod recovery instead? (See the link that I posted previously)

At the moment once the device is powered on it default loads to the fastboot screen, power and volume up loads a blank screen, have to reboot it.
Clockwork mod or any other recovery is not flashable, could load the twrp also with nexus root tool only

Code:

target didn't report max-download-size
sending 'recovery' (7008 KB)...
OKAY [  0.422s]
writing 'recovery'...
FAILED (remote: flash write failure)
finished. total time: 0.438s

this is the error i get

using twrp, i went into logs, and found the below

Code:

E: failed to write /dev/block/mmcblk0p19: I/O error
could not mount /data and unable to find crypto footer
failed to mount /data invalid argument
unable to recreate /data/media folder
failed to mount /cache invalid argument

also when i used the file manager i could see all the directories but nothing is there in them

please help ...

It seems that the flashing of TWRP recovery to the phone has failed.

In order for this to work you must have:
1. Unlocked the bootloader
2. Rooted the phone
3. Have adb running on your PC
4. Have USB debug enabled on the phone

Then:

Code:

 
 fastboot flash recovery <TWRPxxxxx.img>

should succeed.

If you hold the required buttons (vol dwn or perhaps vol dwn+vol up) when you power up, which recovery do you get???? If it's the original recovery that the phone comes with then you should be able to flash a stock ROM onto it and then start again from there.

cannot enable the debug on the phone as it does not boot at all...

i am able to flash the twrp recovery and did all the flashing via nexus tool kit as per the previus guide shared, dint show any error but after everything it rebooted to boot loader again, and i tried to start it and it stays on the balck screen....

Can you boot into TWRP Recovery? Do you get a TWRP menu?

Please post the full name of the TWRPxxxxxx.img file you are using.
