Failed to Mount ‘/preload’ (invalid argument)

What is the problem here ?

I have TWPR 3.2.2-0 installed and working.

[Linux User]

Can you wipe the corresponding partitions (/data, /system etc) and see if the problem gets solved?

CAUTION:
You may have to take a backup of the partitions (/efs, /persist etc.) before wiping anything from that partition.

[Anonymous]

No, the problem is not solved after wipe.
I have FORMAT the system partition and it did not helped.

Is it possible to make a PRINT-SCREEN in TWPR?
