Now, since 2 days I can't open my phone.</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>Two days ago, I thought of doing a factory reset on my phone and while it was on the process, maybe the battery was low or something but it shut itself down. Now, whenever I switch on my phone it shows "To start android, enter your password". I had not given any password to it but still I entered my Google account password and it worked but it showed "Decryption failed" and then tells me to clear the data of the mobile. After that I thought thought that I will be able to clear the data from the "Recovery" menu which is the Cyanogen Default recovery but whenever I try to do it, it says</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>"E: failed to mount /data (invalid argument)</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>E: format_volume failed to mount/data, formatting instead</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>E: format_volume: failed to open/persist/footer</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>Formatting /cache...</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>Data Wipe Complete"</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>What should I do? Please help.</SPAN></P> Mon, 16 Mar 2020 20:00:15 GMT TheBatThatCantF 2020-03-16T20:00:15Z https://community.sony.ba/t5/m-series/messed-up-my-phone/m-p/3650445#M21379 <P><SPAN>My phone might've got messed up pretty bad so need help.</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>Let's start from the start--</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>It has been 6 months since I've been using Cyanogen Mod 12.1 and I've been quite enjoying it except the regular force stops and power downs.
