Are you using twrp 2.6.3.4? Go into wipe and then format data. Backup first

He's not able to backup. That's the point of his problem. Still trying wiping dalvik and cache first. Then try data. If that don't work trying flashing cwm or Philz's touch recovery.

I tried to wiping dalvik and cache... the problem remains.
I then tried to wipe data but preserve /data/media, which is the default action. The problem remains...

I really don't want to reset my phone to factory state with internal memory completely wiped... any help, please?

Don't think you have a choice if you want the phone to work. You're going to have to format the data.

Sound like you missed a reboot before installing custom recovery after unlocking boot.

I wanna format my N5, leave it really clean, coz it has the same problem about not mounting storage. But i wanna do it by commands. Can u tell me how can I do that? By adb or fastboot?

I'm not sure but you could try adb shell wipe data. Any reason you don't want to do it through twrp?
