[Q] Corrupted /Data w/ Working Note 2 -- What to do?

[ForgottenSolstace]

Currently running stock 4.1.1 on kernel 3.0.31 - 260018, but I will get the same error "unable to mount /data" as in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1966105&page=9. I want to install jellybomb rom.

The problem is that if I try to flash to stock, I will have no backup of my data. I cannot backup because my /data partition is not accessible. But my device is fine and functional with stock. And I'm really quite new to the android modding business. I'm not sure if there's an exact copy of the pda and pit shipped with my carrier.

Can anyone advise me what to do at this point? I don't want to brick my phone, and I read online that a corrupted PIT file means even after recovering from stock, that corrupted part will always be there, and limit the storage on the internal SD.

Thanks.

I have the same problem but don't know what causes it. You can use Titanium Backup for your apps at least. You can use ADB to backup everything to your PC. Haven't bothered to fix the issue with my phone because I've been happy so far.

Yes, like you say, Titanium Backup is a great way to back up data. Also, I noticed that an app called "Root Uninstaller" does the same thing (but doesn't contain system data).

After tinkering around with different apps, I noticed that ES File Explorer was able to access /data on the internal card. Is there anything I can try to do to resolve this issue in this way (note that TeamWin can't mount /data, so we can't do terminal commands this way)?
