I successfully rooted my phone but
1) I can t find a way to extend my RAM using the SD card second partition (Link2SD does not recognize the ext2 second partition on my SD CARD)
2) I don't know how to install the right recovery for my phone
3) I can''t find a custom ROM that won'' t make my phone freeze every time I install a new app and, if I finally find any, I don'' t know how to correctly flash it.
I am completely lost. Can anyone help me to find a solution and explain me what do I have to do?
A photo of my phone
Original ROM, CMW recovery and a file the use of which I don' t know that I have recently found.
Thank you for your lights!

Link2SD does not increase ram, there's another app for that. Link2D is for increasing ROM ( internal space). I cannot help you with the custom rom but here's the recovery image for your device http://www.mediafire.com/download/6xn977jjsuusjan/cwm-recovery-N9300.img.7z.
I'm unable to delete files or create new ones in my internal storage/sd.
I can read files that are already there.
I'm also able to read/write from a PC
It seems that permissions are not set properly for this partition?
I want to add that this happened after I updated my S4 GT-I9500 to 5.0.1 lollipop (don't really know if it matters) then tried to fix permission to be able to write to external SD card .
after searching the forum for a solution and trying different "fixes", this is what the situation is like:
I can only write/delete when I access (/data/media/0) but not( /sdcard) , (/storage/sdcard0) , (/storage/emulated/0) or (/storage/emulated/legacy). I'm sorry if I'm being kinda noob.
thanks

you don't need to fix permissions or anything of that kind. Lollipop already allows 3rd party apps to write on SD card..
If I was you I'd just wipe everything from recovery and reflash with Odin.

The only reson I did the External storage permission fix is because some apps didn't have access to it, but now all apps have access but not to the internal memory.
I know the most obvious solution is to try to reflash a stock Rom, but I don't currently have my laptop, I'll get it back at the end of the week. So I was looking for an actual troubleshooting/fix?? Plus I kinda want to know what went wrong cuz I want to learn xD
Thanks for trying to help anyway.
Hello!
I am in a bad position.I deleted my android os while trying to root my phone(dont know why). I have installed twrp recovery and tried to flash custom rom but it couldnt be installed succesfully. I found a video guide about installing cm12 and while i was trying to follow the steps i realized that my internal storage is only 47MB , so i cant install anything... My device is htc one x+ with 64gb internal memory. I dont know what i am supposed to do to solve the memory problem.
Thank you in advance.

The internal storage partiton (/sdcard) is NOT where you install the ROM. The roms are installed on /system partiton.
If you don't need anything on your phone then just wipe /system /data and /cache to free more memory.
Now install the ROM again.
last night i just rooted my device because i want to change the emoji.ttf file. The .ttf file that i just downloaded are so big, so the storage of the root explorer cant store that. so i DELETED some files in the root directory that leads me to the bigger problem. I cant access the internal storage!! I've read the solution about it but most of it need the twrp recovery. i didnt install that on my phone. Now its too late to install because the chrome cant access my storage. pls help meeee.
i am using samsung galaxy alpha
p/s pardon my grammar
bro, just backup all ur phone contents, then after you format your phone , go to settings and just do factory reset, if the problem is solve then ok, either you should flash your phone with custom rom of same version which android version you are using, you will get your internal storage back. reply pls
I wanted to update my rooted Android Nougat to Oreo and also go from SuperSU to Magisk. During that process I discovered that TWRP recovery couldn't mount my internal storage.
I quickly saw on a lot of sites that it's a well-known issue, and I solved it by converting from ext4 to ext2 and back again. Now my phone is running perfect. All apps are installed, data and settings are restored with Titanium and root with Magisk is working fine. But then I remembered about the issue with TWRP and booted into recovery - just to discover the problem is back again. I can't mount my internal storage. So I can't flash zip files, I can't do a backup etc.
When I search xda or the web in general, I can't figure out why the problem has occured again. Also I can't find out how to fix it without losing all my data. Can anybody answer these two questions? Why is this happening again and how do I permanently fix it? And can it be with all my data on my phone - because I'm not able to do a backup.

The problem occurs when you use a ROM which encrypts the software or the ROM your flashing has an encrypted kernal. The only way out is to flash a ROM which doesn't encrypt. It is a known problem with TWRP and we have to wait for the TWRP team to update TWRP to handle quota allocation.
It seems the problem is solved for me. I flashed the TWRP version from this link: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=77296102&postcount=1243
First I tried from Odin but it didn't work. Then I installed the TWRP app from Google Play and flashed the other file, rebooted to recovery, and it seems to work. I can mount my internal storage, make a backup etc. So this is the solution for me.
I had also similar problem of internal storage 0mb and i was not be able to mount my data
so when i flash color recovery by nobody
It's gone because it's allready patch by him
I think it's issue of encrypt data so just flash this recovery from nobody post

I'll re flash later and try a different file manager. Otherwise I'll install treble or re flash stock and start over

same problem, have you found solution ? please help me
TWRP sometimes can't mount the storage, the storage is encrypted, but don't worry. You can still flash your files and rewrite system partion. But in order to show the Storage, you have to use a different version of TWRP. Why am I saying this is mentioned following:
I installed the latest version of twrp, It didn't ask for any password patter to decrypt my storage. So , different XDA posts made me understand that , formatting everything, factory reset will decrypt my storage. And trust me, I have done it several time, several times my brother but it didn't decrypt my storage. I couldn't backup my ROM and without backing up my ROM, I didn't take the risk of flashing new ROM. I waited. This twrp couldn't even mount my system partion. So I seeked knowledge from different person. It took a lot of effort.
Then I learned that, I should change this version of TWRP. I changed to an older version and it didn't decrypt my internal storage after formatting, but it mounted my system partion. Since, it couldn't decrypt my internal storage, I couldn't take backup of my rom and save it to internal storage. so I inserted a pendrive in my phone, and saved the backup of my rom there.
Permanent Solution
Flashing DM Verity Force Encryption Disabler will decrypt your storage instantly. But in my case, it aroused another problem, None of the security measures of my phone worked afterwards. FOD, pin, password, pattern none of them worked. I don't know the reason but I don't suggest it with my little knowledge. but almost every rom flasher use them, so I thing I have to study about them to know how they work.
second and best option: start trying older version of TWRP, the good one will be the one to ask the password the recovery in the beginning. It will decrypt your internal storage.
I was brief here, if anyone doesn't understand these things, let me know, I will explain them step by step because I know the pain of being NEWB.
