Device Storage Hardware Failure

[Alex Cowley]

Hey,

Today I could not get my tablet to start up or charge and any attempt to turn it off restarted the table immediately.
I first tried disconnected the battery and then reconnecting since it seemed a common issue and an easy fix however this did not work.
So I then started in the the system recovery by holding down the volume + button to which I saw the following errors:

E: failed to mount /efs (No such file or directory)
E: failed to mount /system

# MANUAL MODE #
-- Applying Mulit-CSC . . .
E: failed to mount /system (No such file or directory)
E: can't mount '/system' (No such file or directory)
E: failed to mount /cache (No such file or directory)
E: can't mount '/cache' (No such file or directory)
E: failed to mount /cache (No such file or directory)
E: can't mount /cache/recovery/last_recovery (No such file or directory)
E: failed to mount /data (No such file or directory)
E: can't mount /data/log/recovery_log.txt
E: failed to mount /system (No such file or directory)
E: failed to mount /cache (No such file or directory)
E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/log
E: Can't open /cache/recovery/log
E: failed to mount /cache (No such file or directory)
E: can't mount /cache /recovery/last_log
E: can't open /cache /recovery/last_log
E: failed to mount /cache (No such file or directory)
E: can't mount /cache /recovery/last_install
E: can't open /cache/recovery/last_install
E: failed to mount /cache (No such file or directory)

I'm presuming that all of these errors point towards it being unable to read the storage or the storage has become corrupted.
are there any fixes other than a factory rest? (if that will even fix it) Since it would be a pain to loose all my data.


Thanks

If it's a hardware failure (it's difficult for normal software to destroy the partition structure), even a factory reset won't fix anything, only a new motherboard will.

If you can plug it into a computer, and adb can see it, you might try Recovering files via adb (Post #22).
