Root Issue in Wiping

[jujumane]

Today I was motivated enough to try to install CM 12 Beta 1. I got the flashable ZIP file and all, and I was ready to get it done in haste.

I booted to recovery, clicked wipe, advanced wipe, and selected "dalvik-cache", "data", "cache" and "system". Slid the bar to have the process be done, which unexpectedly only lasted about 5 seconds.

In red, it ended up telling me that the /system could not be mounted. Without minding it, I had rebooted to recovery from there, but instead of giving me an option to install SuperSU, it had instead booted the system and the wiping of everything but the /system was successful.

So, how would I be able to fix this problem with the mounting of the system folder?

If you're using masterchiefs zips you need to flash the boot restore zip. That's one reason I know of it would say system couldn't be mounted.

Wow, silly me. I didn't come to realize till now. But just wondering, even after flashing the restore.zip, is seeing it again as the last line normal?

Don't worry I actually did the same thing. Completely forgot to flash the restore zip. Anyways I think it said that for me aswell but after I rebooted recovery everything worked. Try rebooting recovery and report back to me of it fixed anything.

Got the entire process done with, and I've got CM12 as well. Thank you so much, buddy. That earns you a follow.

you also have to make sure that after flashing restore ..
you mount system in mounts....
it's probably already been said...but, the switcher moves system...you can't mount it without restoring..
but, it doesn't automatically remount...

After you flash the twrp & boot restore zip you have to reboot recovery before the change takes effect. I explained all this on my thread but sometimes I'm not that good at explaining things.

Got a quick question Master, do I gotta worry about doing anything with Xposed that I have installed on my metro 4.4.4 before I install Rc2?

No. When you install another rom all of that stuff will get erased.

Thanks man, not really a total noob, just has been awhile since I've played with Android/Roms

LOL 1 more, what gapps are you using?

 

[Masterchief87]

I'd advise using a minimal gapps package that comes with just the bare minimum and then installing the rest of your gapps from the play store. I tried using a larger gapps package that installed most gapps to /system and it caused problems.

Cool TY

I reccomend using THESE GAPPS
These are the official gapps for cm12.1 for arm devices like the zmax
