[Q] Disrupted storage partition in my Xiaomi Mi2s - HELP, please - General Questions and Answers

Hello,
I flashed the latest MIUI fastboot dev rom (V6 Lollipop 5.0.2) (aries_images_5.4.24_5.0_cn_05157b373b) on my Xiaomi Mi2s on Friday. However, as I found out later, this ROM is somewhat special, because it merges internal storage and partition for the installed apps together. I didn't know it then and wanted to return back to the previous rom, so with the use of MiFlash, I tried to flash one of the earlier V6 L5 fastboot roms, but this error occured:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Meantime, my Mi2s fell to the floor from approximately 40 cm, but nothing happened, no obvious hardware damage or functional issues so far.
The issues that started after flashing the fastboot rom are following:
- it is not possible to flash any of the previous MIUI fastboot roms via MiFlash and with the use of "flash all" script, except for the latest rom (aries_images_5.4.24_5.0_cn_05157b373b), othwerwise the same error 0x80004005 occurs
- I can flash any of the previous fastboot roms with the use of "flash except storage" or "flash except data storage", but if I do so, there is no free space in the internal storage as demonstrated below (the partition remains merged), thus I cannot update the system with multilanguage MIUI
- the only rom I am able to use and successfully flash is that latest fastboot one (aries_images_5.4.24_5.0_cn_05157b373b), that allows me to copy the multilanguage MIUI rom to my internal storage and flash it via updater up
- however, I cannot flash this particular rom from the MiRecovery as an update.zip file ("Failed" error)
- "Wipe SD Card" in MiRecovery is not functioning as well ("Failed" error)
- the info about the capacity of internal storage indexed in my MIUI system are off too (image below)
It is clear something went wrong. There is something with the storage partition and I don't know how to solve it. Is there any way or anything I could try to return the system to its previous functioning state, please?
Thank you in advance for your answer and guidance.

Bricked?! SGS6 920F can't mount "/data" or internal Storage after flashing Bootloader

Bricked?! SGS6 920F can't mount "/data" or internal Storage after flashing Bootloader
I was running XtrestoLite DeoMod Edition 2.4 on 5.1.1 on my German Galaxy S6 64GB when i decided i want to upgrade to 6.0.1.
So i downloaded all needed files here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...xtrestolite-deodexed-mod-edition-1-3-t3119968
After i had flashed the 6.0.1 Bootloader, Modem and TWRP 3.0.0.0 (which i also found in the thread above), i was stuck in TWRP, as i couldnt perform a Wipe anymore. For some reason it won't mount my internal Storage and some other partitions anymore, for instance "/data". So basically i can't flash any 6.0.1 Rom but i also can't do a FULL WIPE.
I have already downloaded the 6.0.1 Stock ROM from SamMobile and i am ready to flash it via Odin, but i'm worried it will Wipe all my data! As already mentioned, TWRP wouldn't show me my internal Storage and mark it as "(0MB)", so it seems like it's already deleted, which is the worst thing that could have happened to me, as i lost crucial data.
My Question is: Why will TWRP NOT show me my Internal Storage and say it can't mount "/data" and all the other folders. Is it Softbricked? Why would Flashing a Bootloader and Modem literally destroy my internal SD Memory?
I want to Flash the Stock ROM, hoping it will fix the Problem but i want to see if you guys can help me Get my Data from Internal Memory first! Please help me!
Thanks alot

flashing a rom in odin should not erase your internal storage as long you dont select wipe in odin. in your case you must flash the latest stock rom in odin. if your storage seems deleted after flashing stock rom. it happened earlier while messing around with twrp. also you should try twrp 3.0.2. viel glück

Help please
What zip did you flash?
How did upgarade? with incremental?
Contain only changes. DOES NOT CONTAIN FULL ROM
You should not wipe system.
The most secure method is to fastboot latest cos img.
And upgrade from OTA
I flashed a zip from the OnePlus forum, the Untouched Version of the COS13. I cannot post links, sorry.
And it was not a incremental, was the full ROM. I manually wiped the system partition. Is my fault right?
I think the only solution is to backup all my data & completely return to stock via OnePlus Toolbox

unable to flash anything in TWRP, SD card wont mount or show contents

Hi!
I picked up a Mate 8 from a local service provider and would love to flash a new ROM to get rid of the ugly stock one, but I am stuck when trying to flash anything from TWRP.
The phone boots fine, I unlocked the bootloader, and has TWRP Mate 8 version...I can't locate any files from the internal storage though. I understand this is due to the system being encrypted. I cant seem to get around that though. I tried the format data option, hit yes, then go back but that obviously has deleted what I had stored (the SU zip). I can't mount the SD either afterwards, to load it in recovery.
I tried using the Italian knife tool, and used the Root option, and option 3, but get an error: error: cannot load '.\rec\boot.img
I am not a pro on this so it might be something farely stupid. I would love if anyone could help me with this...

Edit:
I was able to solve myself. It was a rookie mistake. Perhaps the internal storage is encrypted, however I was able to flash SU using TWRP by inserting an external SD, which I had not done before. I was able to view contents from that location and did not need to use the Italian knife tool.

To delete system apps, download system app uninstaller from play store and grand it superuser permission.

[Discussion] Need Help in Unbricking redmi note 3 Snapdragon

Here is the short story. I followed the unofficial method of unlocking bootloader. I did that and managed to install twrp then i flashed CM14. However, it proved to be not working (Stuck at CM Logo). I also noticed that in TWRP it has an error which is E: Failed to mount /persist. So yeah, i revert back to MIUI and relock it. I managed to reflash to 7.1.8.0 global beta but the problem is there are so many bugs like No wifi detected and no sim data making it unusable to do any internet plus brightness isn't working.
So, this is the true problem came. I followed Raaj52's instruction and want to flash the latest Fastboot rom Developer (which is 6.7.29 global) but i got stuck with Unspecified error when i follow Raaj's instruction. When i do miflash and flash in EDL mode, it got stuck with Not enough storage is available to continue. Please help me, i have redmi phone just and want to use it again.
In addition, can someone please explain to me about:
1. Why E: Failed to mount /persist in TWRP happens?
2. Why Wifi cant detect any hotspot and sim card has no service at all?
3. Why do i have Unspecified error when flashing in Fastboot mode?
4. Why do i have Not storage is available to continue error in EDL mode?
Thank you and hope someone can help me.
PS: I use Miflash 20151028, Anz Folder, Unlocked Bootloader folder and Fastboot_edl folder as well as fastboot ROM downloaded. I also post similar thread in http://en.miui.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=433772&page=1&extra=#pid8058468 in hoping that someone can help me.
P.S: The Device codename is Kenzo (Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Pro Snapdragon Version) and here is the picture needed for you guys to help me figuring this out.

How to install gapps on stock rom F3113

Hi, I think my problem is easy to solve, but I want to try others solutions. Well the thing is that I erased all gapps from my phone via rootExplorer (gms.apk, gmail.apk, sky...something.apk, etc) because I don't like those services; Until there, all works great (almost 4 months). I had problems with the internal storage (it was 99% but I didn't have many apps or big files) then, I erased the partition 'data' via TWRP, restarted the phone and all ok (the phone restored), but after set language, choose a name and last name and select a pin I can't go to the next step (in the section 'Google services' a dialog says: "unfortunately Google Play services has stopped") I guess it is because I don't have gapps installed...
I tried to flash gapps via recovery but I think it is not for stock roms...I know that the best solution is download the stock rom and flash it, but I don't have the capacity to download 2.7 GB...
So, someone who has idea about this problem??
sorry for my english, I'm still learning...
