Phone is the VS995 variant.
Did the dirtysanta root when it came out. Made a backup after I flashed the konverged kernel. Tried doing the DAC mod to enable high impedance always on. Audio quit working and stock music app wouldn't play music even after I reverted the files back. Did a restore of that backup. Tried using root explorer after the restore and now I cannot get my device to enable r/w permissions. I also cannot get my device to mount the system in recovery, only as read only.
Has anyone else had this issue or does anyone know of a fix for it?
I have tried reinstalling supersu in recovery and still have the issues. It is a minor problem but I am unable to flash any .zips as it will not mount /system.
Thanks in advance!
Fixed my problem.
Dinked around with a few ideas and got my problem fixed! Heres what I did.
1. Made a backup of system in twrp just in case.
2. Formatted system in wipe > advanced > and only checked system.
Panicked because I thought I bricked my device, wouldnt boot farther than the lg logo,
(next steps might be unnecessary but I panicked and tried them lol)
3. still had fastboot access so I repeated step 3 in the root method.
4. Reflashed boot2.img
5. Rebooted to recovery with volume- power, release power while keeping volume- at lg for a second then repress and hold power. Yes twice to get to recovery.
6. Restored system backup. (was able to fully boot now but with lag)
7. Reflashed konverged kernel.
And everything is working perfect now and I have my r/w ability and can mount system in recovery without having to select mount as read only.

I rooted my Nexus S a couple of weeks back and installed Clockworkmod. Not problems there.
But today I rebooted the phone via adb (issuing the "reboot" command), and now the phone is stuck in Clockworkmod recovery. I'm able to connect with adb, and I'm able to go to the stock recovery (home + volume up), but I'm not able to boot into Android at all
What can I do to get my phone to boot again?
Did u do a nandroid Backup?
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App
Factory wipe and reboot.
Does usb mount work?
Thanks for the answers!
I found a nandroid backup on these forums, and that solved it.
I think the reason must be that I did a command line reboot while /system was mounted read-write, and that borked the file system somehow. Which is weird, because I'm able to mount /system from CWM.
USB mount works as well.
The nandroid backup was 2.3, though, and the OTA didn't work on it. Will a factory wipe reset my phone to a state where the OTA will work?
Hello
I formatted /sdcard on recovery mode by mistake, was going to format /data, /system and /cache
now I lost all of my backup and ROM files and my N7 stuck at Google icon when reboot.
recovery and bootloader can still access....if that help.
Any way i can get my baby to boot up like it used to be? or How to put files back to N7? (maybe I can install the ROM if it's there?)
Thanks in advance >___<
First make sure you have the Nexus 7 plugged into a PC while attempting to start bootloader and choosing recovery. You might be able to do a factory reset from there. Wipe data, cache and dalvik. You may want to hit 'Fix Permissions' last just in case, then reboot. If you're familiar with ADB and fastboot you can find info on flashing stock images here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1907796. If neither of those helps you'll need to go to this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1766475, download and install the toolkit and choose 'Flash Stock + Unroot' with the option 'Soft-Bricked, Bootloop' (assuming that is still the case) checked. It will ask which image to download, pick the latest (4.1.2). You shouldn't have to relock the bootloader. From there it's just like stock so play with it as you like, just watch what you're wiping, lol.
Thank you very much!!!!
everything work now.
Many thanks in advance for any help...
What Happened:
I usually load recovery (TWRP) updates though Goo Manager or Toolkit. For the first time I used 'fastboot flash recovery xxxxx.img' method, and though it showed successful load, my phone is now stuck on Google logo boot screen.
What Do I Need:
Recover Internal Memory data from phone
What All Tried:
- Changed recovery to TWRP old version that I know was working fine
- Changed recovery to stock
- Changed recovery to CWM
- Nandroid restore of a perfectly working state
- Factory Reset (except internal memory - I need that data)
- Bootloader locked again (stupid move, I know)
Now the only hope left is to restore a complete stock state. Stock ROM, recovery et al. But I'll lose all data on phone.
My question is - Is there ANY way to copy the internal memory (/sdcard/) to computer? I can see all those folders in TWRP's File Manager, any way to mount it on PC to make a backup?
Please help....
After rooting my Nexus 7 wifi 2012 tablet and trying several back ups and restores I started to notice the size of memory has gone from 13gig to 6gig.
I have done a factory reset from boot up recovery mode using TWRP. I also tried other options in TWRP wipe option, clearing internal cache, many other options to mention, not sure what most did, tinkering
I have also restored to a factory image using Nexus root toolkit option flash stock + unroot (forced flash mode) and restored from a downloaded image.
I thought restoring to factory image was suppose to put everythng back as it was! where has all the memory gone! 13gig before rooting and now 6 gig :crying:
EDIT
Well, I got the size to show back correctly with the factory image restored (13.36gb). I booted to recovery and selected "wipe data/factory reset" and also did the "wipe cache partition" just to be sure.
Why none of this work when I was doing the same from TWRP recovery mode rooted? I have to root again now, bet the same thing will happen and left with lower memory and no way to fix? time............................
Usually, it's TWRP I've always had partition formatting issues with it. Use the CWM recovery meant for your device instead.

RealPariah,
Thanks for the reply.
Have it sorted now. Turns out NRK buggy. Would not put nandroid backup to destination on hard drive. Not even with a reboot. Hence memory on Nexus tablet shrinking. I should have clocked on earlier. will check out CWM.
I was thinking of keeping NRK. Just read about CWM. Would it be o.k to download CWM from Googleplay and run it or would that interfere with NRK?
I've got the same issue. This weekend I just sideloaded 5.1.1 on mine (it's a 2012 model), and I'm looking at 6Gb only now (it's a 16GB N7).
I also have TWRP on it.
I used the Wugnet Nexus Root Toolkit for everything, which also supports CWM.. but why is that the one "meant" for the device? It's a custom recovery. Or is it more closely based on the stock recovery than TWRP is?
What's NRK?
I did a wipe on the cache partition already, so that clearly didn't work. I guess I could wipe data and start all over again.
PS. Using ES File explorer, I've found a number of what appears to be actual copies of my emulated sdcard data, not just symlinks:
1) /sdcard -symlink (to /storage/emulated/0 I think?)
2) /storage/emulated/0 (not a symlink)
3) /storage/emulated/legacy (not a symlink, but data is in there too.. a copy?)
4)/storage/sdcard0 (symlink)
5) /mnt/sdcard (symlink)
6) /data/media/0 (not a symlink, another copy?) Also, weirdly, the only directory I could change permissions on if I wanted to..
I'd have thought that would have been /Storage/emulated/0 .
I think /storage/emulated/0 is the main actual repository, and I get that there are symlinks, but /storage/emulated/legacy and /data/media/0 look like full on duplications to me.
Found the answer - I've got my space back.
1) Restore stock recovery,
2) boot into it and
3) do a factory reset from there.

So apologies is this is done to death, but I've screwed something up.
My phone is rooted/unlocked and I had twrp installed.
I tried to install a lineageos rom but it didnt work, and it would get stuck booting.
I can still get into fastboot and twrp, but I don't know what to do from there. I have tried install the stock recovery and then installing the stock emui rom but it doesn't seem to be working, and I can't seem to find a thorough walkthrough of what I need to do.
I have the Japanese version of the phone (WAS-LX2J) if that helps.
So I can force into TWRP using adb reboot recovery
When I get into TWRP the UI is all red - it used to be blue? I might have just installed a different version but seems strange to have gone red now.
Whenever I try to wipe data, or format data, I get a bunch of errors:
unable to recreate /data/media folder
unable to mount storage
unable to mount /data/media/twrp/.twrps
unable to open '/dev/block/dm-0' to wipe crypto key
etc
I am also unable to repair, resize or change the file system apparently.
Okay I reinstalled twrp (from here) and that problem seems to be solved. (in red)
I would basically just like to restore my phone to factory but I don't know how, any help would be hugely appreciated.
I can provide any more info if required, I just dont have a way to screenshot my phone atm
