Here’s the breakdown.
Started with my S-OFF, SuperCID M8 Unlocked WWE which was running the Skydragon 6.0 GPE ROM with associated firmware.
I decided I wanted to try the latest 6.0 Sense rom, so downloaded the 6.0 Firmware zip and Maximus 12 ROM.
From a bit of reading I saw that to get my Sense partition back and be able to install the relevant ROM to go with it, I’d need to flash the Sense firmware, which I did, and that seemed to go OK.
I rebooted into TWRP and went to do a wipe, and was greeted with the following error:
"could not mount /data and unable to find crypto footer"
Followed by lots of
"Unable to mount /data" error messages.
If I leave the phone to boot, it asks me for my password and says that the data is no longer there and I need to reset, but I’m hesitant to do that as I expect I would be left completely shafted then.
I tried reflashing the GPE Firmware but it looks like the damage has been done.
Desperately need some help in getting myself back to working. Any ideas please?
