Stuck when performing factory reset TWRP

[razor26]

Hi, I swiped factory reset in the advanced menu of TWRP. It seems stuck at “Formatting Data using make_ext4fs function” for about 30 minutes now. Any idea on what I should do? Should I wait longer? Thank you!

Edit: So I removed the battery without finishing it but now the recovery says "unable to mount /data". I can't flash any ROM now because it can't mount data. I tried the "mke2fs -T ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p23" solution both in the twrp terminal and adb but the problem still persists. Please help. Thank you.

Hi, where did you get your TWRP recovery from?
Have you tried mkfs.ext4

Thanks for the reply, I got my TWRP recovery, I think, at the TW
RP website by searching google for Sensation. Anyway, my phone is working now by using my external sdcard as /data but I wish there's a way to recover the corrupted internal sdcard.

I think that's the bad TWRP that breaks data, everyone is using ivanich's TWRP recovery from here.
Flash ivanich's latest TWRP, boot into recovery and use adb and try with mkfs.ext4 or even mkfs.ext2

mkfs.ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p23

Edit: I just sent TeamWin a message explaining this and to remove download link from their site.

TWRP broken partition table

TWRP has broken my partition table. I cannot format via parted due to the fact it now has 'overlapping partitions'. No recovery can fix this including 4ext. Completely stuck at the minute. I don't want to use a microsd card as storage when I have internal storage available. Is there anyone that can help or has had any success? I am S-OFF and bootloader UNLOCKED.

Tried stock RUU via P58..zip and get's stuck part way through (I think at system or SD)

Help! I'm sure there's someone that can fix the partition table. The format of the internal storage sd is fat32 - which I believe is where the problem started from. I don't want to let this problem defeat me although I have spent an age trying to sort it...too late to give up

Any help is highly appreciated.

Cheers

I have managed to dump the partition info:

Have you tried hinxnz suggestion regarding mkfs? I can't try it myself , fearing that I might brick my Sensation again. I have tried the command "mke2fs -T ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p23" inside ivanich's twrp before , but there's still error. Don't know if the command is the same.

Unfortunatley it has got worse, I was in abd mode, and I was looking at partitions. I finished using adb, but ejected the usb cable to quickly so I don't think it finished doing what it was doing, and now I am in QHUSB_DLOAD mode with S-OFF so I think I have fully bricked it now. Time to throw it away.

Tried the first link but no joy as I'm S-OFF. Also tried the unlimited.io s-off fix and still no joy.
