[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jackaros:
Yes and as was previously suggested don't do it yourself you will just ruin the device of you are not an electronics engineer to put it back together as you found it. Its a tough job to reverse engineer electronic devices even those who are easily accessible imagine doing the same thing to your compact phone
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Braxley1:
The only way would be to disassemble the phone. The front digitiser is not glued to the LCD on this model as it is with other phones so it's not as hard as it may seem to get the dust out. Although you will need to completely disassemble the phone to get to the dust.

I was trying to get 4.4.2 (Omnirom / CM11.1) on my Xoom.

The only problem I facing is TWRP is asking for password or else it will have problem mounting to cache.

This lead to cannot wipe cache and cannot wipe cache\dalvik.

I search the forum up and down and people comment that the partition is corrupt that TWRP trying to recover it.

So my question is how can I repair or recreate the partition.

What tool should I use?

Even if it is using adb shell, what kind of program I need to push into the phone.

Hope someone can help me out.

I did try to play around like 5 hours.

At first TWRP complaint that cannot mount /cache

Then I try use CWM recovery to wipe cache and dalvik. Then only install TWRP (without big part). Again I wipe cache and dalvik.

Then when I install TWRP (with big part) and no longer complaint cannot mount cache.

But it keep showing update partition details.

When I try to wipe data it will be unsuccessful.

Hope experience people can guide me. Really want to see my motorola xoom (everest) to be on kit kat.

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] webeougher:
As far as I can tell, you didn't follow the directions. Re-start the BigPart process from the beginning, and when TWRP asks you for a password, just ignore that and press the Home icon at the top. Tap the Wipe tab, and there will be two options, Advanced and Format Data, along with the slider at the bottom for a Factory Reset. Tap the Format Data tab, type yes when prompted, and hit enter/return. Then follow the rest of the steps in the BigPart process.

And, please, if you're going to BigPart, just pretend CWM doesn't exist, because all it's going to do is mess things up for you.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kblade29m:
Thanks webeougher. I revisit the steps and this time successfully to make it work.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2506997

Step 1 - Preparation

Format MicroSD to Fat32 and copied the following files

- R.A.H._TWRPv2.6.3_BigPart_selinux.zip

- cm-11-20140216-UNOFFICIAL-1501+0100-everest.zip

- pa_gapps-modular-full-4.4.2-20131230-signed.zip

Step 2 - Flash Recovery to TWRP

- Has Android SDK

- Extract R.A.H._TWRPv2.6.3.zip to get recovery.img

- Set Xoom to Fastboot mode by press vol down before dual core logo appeared.

- In command line, type fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

Step 3 - Boot into Recovery

- Set Xoom to Recovery mode by press vol down after dual core logo appeared for 3 seconds.

- Notice at this step you will not have problem mounting to /cache partition.

Step 4 - Create BigPart

Refer to http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2506997

Go through step by step.

- Use Install to flash R.A.H._TWRPv2.6.3_BigPart_selinux.zip (No Reboot)

- Home - Wipe - Advanced Wipe -> Wipe Dalvik Cache, System, Cache, Data, Internal Storage. Exclude sdcard. (No Reboot)

- Home - Reboot - Recovery -> Don't Install SuperSU (Rebooted into Recovery)

- Home - Wipe - Format Data - Type yes (No Reboot)

- Home - Wipe - Advanced Wipe -> Wipe system and cache (No Reboot)

- Home - Reboot - Recovery -> Don't Install SuperSu (Rebooted into Recovery)

- Home - Mount - Check System and Uncheck System (Just testing only. No Reboot)

Step 5 - Install Rom and Gapps

- Home - Install - cm-11-20140216-UNOFFICIAL-1501+0100-everest.zip and pa_gapps-modular-full-4.4.2-20131230-signed.zip

- Swipe to Flash

- Wipe Dalvik and Cache

- Home - Mount - Reboot - System

- Give 5 - 10 minutes for the installation to complete. Not a boot loop. Just take longer time to finish installation.

Enjoy the CM11 (4.4.2) on Xoom :)

Troubleshooting:

Just incase if you have problem with partition (Step 3), where you notice TWRP already have with partition

- Flash Clockworkmod Recovery

- Remove SDcard

- Reboot into CWM recovery

- Mount and Storage - Format system, cache, data

- Advanced - Fix Permission

- Flash TWRP Recovery (Back to step 2)

There is almost the same problem with my "UMTS_Everest". I tried to follow all these instructions (includin the "troubleshooting part". But I'm not able to flash another recovery anymore with fastboot nor with TRWP (CWM e.g.) :crying:

I tried also everything, but there is (has never been) no /data-partition anymore and it says "unable to mount /cache" all the time in TWRP

There is no /data-partition visible to mount in TRWP. :eek:
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kblade29m:
Try again. Hope you still can enter fastboot mode.

If you use adb and fastboot, I sure you can get it work.

If you using Windows, make sure usb installed with right driver.

Make device in fastboot mode.

Power + Vol down (hold before motorola logo appear).

Screen will show some text related to fastboot.

When you type "fastboot devices" you able to see your device.

fastboot flash recovery clockwork-recovery.img

fastboot reboot

If you can enter clockworkmod recovery u can format all the mount. To enter recovery.

Power + Vol down (hold after Motorola logo appear for 3 second). When recovery text appeared press Vol up.

How I fixed mine

Hi,

I had the same Problem some weeks ago. After trying to install a newer custom Rom which did not boot I neither was able to wipe dalvik nore had a System Partition anymore.

With big help from HDwally I was able to fix it. The first Thing I did was to install a stock Rom.

For this you have to install the Motorola USB Driver

https://motorola-global-portal-de.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/91819

and RSD lite.

Got mine to work

I know this is a dead thread, but just in case someone comes here looking for help...

I tried all the directions, and couldn't get stuff to mount. always fails. I finally got it. Not sure why this worked...

Flashed TWRP through fastboot.

Then flashed recovery-Tiamat-R4c-100611-1150-cwm.img

formatted each partition and then mounted them

then flashed the R.A.H._TWRPv2.6.3_BigPart_selinux.zip

Then rebooted recovery

Then in TWRP it actually let me format each individual partition one at a time.

Then it let me flash Omni

Not sure why TWRP (regardless of version) would not let me mount. Only CW would. anyways, hope this helps.

No go on any of the suggested fixes.

I'm experiencing same issues.

Specifically, I am unable to mount /data & /cache partitions in TWRP v2.8.6.0 Bigpart Recovery.

I am unable to recover them both through the repair function and Change File System function in TWRP.

Tried all configurations of file system type and sequence of changing the file system types of system, ,data, cache.

The error that appears after attempting to change file system of data, system,cache, all of them is as follows

ERROR: sbin/e2fsk -p /dev/block/mmcblk1p10 process ended with ERROR=8

unable to repair '/data'.

error repairing file system.

I can successfully erase system, boot, userdata, recovery partitions and flash any .img to according partitions with fastboot commands (i.e. fastboot erase cache fastboot flash recovery recovery.img) Although this does not successfully flash anything. Fastboot says it does but recovery remains the same as well as the boot animation which im assuming is in the boot.img file.

I believe im looking for the next viable option which is to rebuild the systems internal data? I dont know via fastboot?

Can anyone help? Could someone explain how to what actually is missing here?

battery life is determined by your personal usage, your person setup, your personal method of app management, and most importantly battery life is determined by the quality of your personal data/phone signal. everything else, including undervolting, only provides negligible results. thats why no matter what rom you are running, no matter what kernel you are running, no matter if you are using dalvik or ART, there are people that will say that it gives them great battery life while others say it doesnt give them great battery life.

Hello,

I posted this same question over at androidforums.com.

I rooted my phone and installed the rooted stock 4.3 from Beanstown " [Rom][I605VRUEMJ9][4.3] Stock Root Odex/Deodex [12/08/13]★ - xda-developers "

I installed the deodexed version.

I then followed the rest of the directions to fix the wifi, and also loaded the framework to gain wifi tether.

The phone was working fine for a few days.

Then I got the system UID error after the battery drained all the way over night.

I could no longer run / install certain apps and I would get random reboots. I tried deleting those apps from data/data. this did help with most of the apps but not all. Regardless the UID error would not go away.

SO I wiped the data . Factory reset. I wiped 3 or more times. Loaded the rom back. This time I didn't load the framework or the wifi fix. I believe those were still in effect because the wifi still worked and the wireless thether still worked.

Now a whole bunch of apps still would not install. Very frustrating. A few days later I got the system UID error again,

SO this morning I wiped the phone like 8 times. loaded the rom again. I still cant install certain apps.

I am so fed up with this phone right now. I used to love this phone before 4.3 . Now this phone is wasting my time. Im way too busy to be working on my phone every few days. This phone is supposed to assist me with work, not cause more work for me.

Can someone please please advise me what to do?

I think I need to re format. But I have no idea how to do that.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
Basically you can't. The best way to do 'clean up' would be to run an RUU and format the sd card (backing up important files first). Yes, running an RUU causes you to lose root, but contrary to popular belief root isn't the most important factor. Your unlocked bootloader (which is far more important) survives the RUU process, which means all you do afterwards is flash TWRP and flash root (or a rooted ROM), and voila.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
The first thing you want to do is backup anything that's on your sd card that's important to you. Just mount it to your PC and copy important files across. Next is the RUU, but you'll need s-off for this so if you don't already have it, get it now. If you have s-off just download the 3.18 RUU, connect your phone in fastboot mode, and run the RUU exe program in Windows, simple as that. You just need to make sure no other programs are running, make sure HTC Sync Manager is uninstalled (leave drivers installed though), and make sure screen saver/hibernation is turned off. Once the RUU is complete it's just a matter of flashing TWRP recovery again, if you need directions for that just click the How-To Guide For Beginners link in my signature.
