My ASUS Transfrmer TF300T tab is dead

opamx · May 10, 2014

Hello friends, I bought the ASUS Transformer Pad 300T and just a week later I had the great idea of instal TWRP for installing my appreciate CM11, but when I installed TWRP and I was abut to install the CM11, I see:

E:Unable to mount '/data' (tw_mount)
E:failed to mount /data (no such file or directory)

When I saw that messages I entered in panic and I wiped all
I'm afraid I'll have to send it to repair, and the fill will hurt. So I hope somebody help me. I'll upload a photo soon.
Thanks.

In what way did you wipe it? From the bootloader or from TWRP?

I wiped the rom, in the site I downloaded the TWRP the instructions were to install the rom after cleaning cache, next I wiped the rom I searched for another recovery and I read this version is dangerous becouse it dont have any security advisements in the old posts, and if I wipe with that recovery y couldnt repair it becuse it dont have ADB or other methods for flashing another recvery.

So does the TWRP still work? You can put a ROM on the SDcard and flash it from there.

I think I'm in a similar boat with the OP. I'm getting rid of this intensely disappointing tablet in the next day or two. I booted into TWRP and selected the "Wipe Data" option, figuring that it'd be a good move to hand it over to new owner without any traces of my personal data on it. Well, since formatting it, I can't get Android to fully boot up. I installed PACman and Gapps from a microSD card, but it never gets past the splash screen where it says "LOADING". I really need to get this POS up and running ASAP, preferably with the least possible amount of downloading involved. My connection just got throttled down, so I'm hoping I don't have to download any huge programs. Any ideas?

But...

But the recovery can't mount /data folder and I can't install anything.

What bootloader version do you have and what twrp version?

Did you try umounting everything and remounting everything in the twrp settings?

The option mount /Data is blocked, I can`t do anything, maybe with a backup will work. And my TWRP version is 2.2.1.5.

Hi

This may be a long shot but I encountered a similar problem and resolved it by flashing the recovery and kernel from here - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2625580. See the second post.

In my case I flashed the recovery from the above post, formatted data to f2fs from recovery, then installed the crombi-kk rom with the ”Don't install a kernel” option, then flashed the kernel from the above post.

Like I said, long shot, and this assumes you can run the format data option in twrp, but may be worth a crack...

Good luck.

I can't do anything with the /Data partition becouse the file is empty... maybe if somebody can upload the content of that file, maybe I'll be able to put a rom into the tablet.

Well if you cant mount it how are you going to write to it ?

Do you have a linux PC ?

Thx Josh

I have Windows 8.1 PRO and if someone give me the files, maybe I'll be able to put them into the /Data file wih the file manager of the TWRP
