Root is the only solution, till
then use adb sideload.
Flash CWM or any other custom recovery in fastboot mode using adb and then try formatting cache (not wiping cache). Then try flashing again.I cant flash any ROM.... same error appears....failed to mount and blah blah:crying:
After I upgrade to Marshmallow, I'd like to format my sd card, but suddenly i hit the "FORGET" button. can i restore the setting without any root or any methods?
The first time you boot up your marshmallow device, you will receive a notification asking if you want to use your SD card as Internal or Storage. If you use storage its like any other external storage. But if you choose Internal, it will format your SD card to ext4 just like you would if you were to use Link2SD.
Now most of the apps will be stored on this SD card. However some won't and that's when you'll start running out of space. But that's not the case. Hidden inside is the option to move these apps to the SD card as well (along with the entire data and obb files). This is what you gotta do:
- Go to Storage & USB
- Go to Internal Storage
- Go to Apps
- Select the app
- Select the option 'Change' and select your SD Card and then select Move from the 'Move Authenticator' and it's done!
Mind you, that the pre installed apps and the bloatware cannot be shifted this way. However it won't matter. you will still have around 900 MB free and even if the pre installed apps take up cache space there is plenty of space.
Enjoy!
Edit: Restart your phone after that otherwise the partition won't show up if you connect your phone to the PC.

Nope, haven't faced a restart yet. However I moved WhatsApp to SD and after it got an update it was automatically moved back to internal causing it to lose its chat history. Moving it back to SD let me restore my last backup though.
QUESTION:
after making 'Adopt SD as Internal Storage' in Marshmallow. my SD card wont work on Laptop and PC with SD Card readers directly??
Converting the SD to use internally formats it as an EXT4 partition and encrypts the contents. Windows PC don't natively mount EXT4 partitions (without 3rd party software). As well, the contents are encrypted so only the original phone can read it.
When you boot into the recovery to flash a file and only see 1 folder named TWRP And can't find ur file Do the following
1.Boot into CM13
2.Install any file explorer with root permissions(FX With root add-on preferably)
3.NAVIGATE TO SYSTEM ROOT
4.Click the search button and type in TWRP

6.copy your ZIP Flies in that folder
7.Boot into Recovery
8.open the TWRP Folder and you will see you files there
9.Happy Flashing!
