Run the command "mke2fs -t ext4 /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/persist"

I get an error message at this point . "mke2fs not recognized as internal or external command. Any idea how to get thru this?

I had twrp2.8.7.0. As long as you have a custom recovery i think it should work. Boot into recovery. Then connect to pc w usb cable. Make sure you have adb and drivers installed on your pc. In windows cmd type:

adb usb

Then

adb devices


Make sure it displays your device, and then type


adb root

adb shell

mke2fs -t ext4 /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/persist
