HELP. I can not restore or flash from USB in TWRP - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5

I have done something very stupid. I had my phone rooted and running a custom ROM and TWRP. I was going to try a new ROM and did something dumb instead. I went into TWRP and made a nandroid backup. Then I copied that backup to my USB drive. Next I wiped ALL. I even wiped internal, so now my phone is empty. I figured I could just FLASH now via the USB which has both my ROM and my TWRP backup. But it will not allow me to mount my USB drive now !!?? It shows the option to mount it, but it wont do it. It only is mounting my internal and that is empty. No ROM or BACKUP'S on my internal.
What can I do now ?? I have a phone with nothing on and can not boot. I have a USB stick with my nandroid backup and a custom ROM but can not seem to mount it to use it in TWRP.
HELP !! I am very nervous .. I just paid $700 dollars for this phone .... help please.
Thanks

You need to go into twrp and setup and
convert your file system to f2fs if you want to
use external USB storage.
Below is a link that tells you how to do it:

Thank you very much for the info friend : ) I am on it now.

Worse case scenario, start from scratch then transfer your backup to your phone's internal memory so you can flash it.

Do you have ADB setup? You can try and push a ROM file to the internal storage.
For Easy Flasher, you did put it in APX mode and you have APX driver install?

Hi
I'm having some problems before super wipe:
I used Super Wipe Full to erase everything because I was facing some problems on it.
I used a lot of rooms before.
Now I can just access CWM and when I try to install the room, it says: "no files found". I think is isnt reading the external sd.
I tried to send the from via cable, but my computer don't install the driver for it. I also tried to install the driver via asus page.
Any solution?
Thank you

Oh, I know what happen...
The default "Backup" function change from ext-sdcard to int-sdcard,
so no space for it to create a backup file...
Therefore backup need choose the function of Backup to external sdcard.
Tested, backup & restore function are fine! Thanks!!! :good:
Thanks, about time we got some recovery love
Any bugs we should be aware of in this build?
seems to working perfect, thanks a lot
I cant backup to my sd card or flash zips from it. It says my external sd isnt mounted, and i get an error when i try to mount it in the recovery. Other than that everything works.

I can backup and restore without any problem's on my ExternalSd.
Please check if your sd card is formated as exFAT.
Official Clockworkmod doesn't support exFAT formated sdcard's.
what does silence mean here? does it mean it is so stable and all working good? does it flash themes and wiping properly?
as long as wiping, backup and restore works great on this I think it this is good news. Trying this out.

As I said in the other thread, you're using exFAT which isn't supported.
Also, there is an official CWM 6.0.2.8 now, look here. (his tar has the wrong version number in its filename, it actually is 6.0.2.8)

Sorry, I don't want to come across as annoying but I really am not using exFAT, as I have explained on the other thread. FAT32 was used with a cluster size of 32kb.

my phone GT I9100. I formatted by my phone under ics on my 64gb cl10 card was fat32 about year ago. Recently I upgraded to jb due to boot loop peoblem, I wipe my phone including formatting msd card. This time it formatted to exfat and many problems I had encountered cwm and mobile odin no recognised it. So I should said for 64gb msd, under ics format by phone was fat32. Under jb it will be exfat.
Send via i9100 using XDA premium,
ROM: Stock XWLSD
Kernel: Phil XWLSD V4.35
superSU 1.04
Can you re-upload recovery Odin version (link is broken on the fist page) ?
Or how change cwr version to odin version ?
Thanks in advance.
Thanks for port. The recovery won't mount sdcard though so cannot sideload anything. Why is that?

Deleted Everything off my Moto g.... Now What?

Hi all, i played around with my Moto G a while back, got the bootloader unlocked, put a new ROM on. Did a backup which i wanted to delete but couldnt... everytime i did a fresh install it was still there eating my memory so i wiped everything off my phone using TWRP (internal the lot!) now ive got nothing on my phone, no operating system nothing.
anybody got a tutorial to get it back up and running again? or at least some ideas on how to dispose of it haha.
thanks in advance.
*EDIT*
This post can be deleted now thanks! I have resolved this matter very easily with a very imaginative way that i never thought of. i couldnt reinstall another rom as my computer wouldnt reconise my phone in ADB. but using this method below i was able to very easily...
*QUOTE*
Alternate Method : Noob Friendly.
First of all backup your sd card (i.e data/media)
Flash Philz Touch 6.26.6 Recovery
Hope you have OTG cable and a pendrive.
Copy the rom which you want to install on pendrive. Attach pendrive through OTG.
(backup your current rom on usbdisk. For this goto Backup and Storage. Find option backup on storage/usbdisk )
Now, select Wipe Data/Factory Reset. It will ask Wipe to install new rom,tap on it. Say Yes.
After that goto Mounts and Storage and format /data and /data/media (/sdcard). Say Yes.
Done.
Now flash your favorite custom rom.
Select the option install from sdcard. Then select usbdisk. Select your custom rom and install it
*END QUOTE*
so hats off to "amit.lohar"
For future:
If delete info of internal storage, you can recover it with DiskDigger. Root required.

1)if you've made a backup that can be restored in twrp ,do it.
2)download a Custom ROM and flash It through twrp .only data ,cache and dalvik need to be cleared .you won't lose stuffs in internal storage including photos ,music.
3) if you cant find any custom roms then connect your phone to pc then,in twrp ->mount ->enable mtp.now you can access your storage, backup your files on PC ,then flash stock ROM and later restore .
Hope this helped.

Download that and a gapps for android 6 and also a supersu.zip. enable mtp like earlier and put them on your phone storage .now do a normal wipe in twrp wiping only data ,cache and dalvik(which is a normal factory reset)
And then install the ROM followed by gapps and supersu.
If you didnt wiped your internal storage you won't lose your files.
After booting up in file manager delete the folder called "0"(make sure none of your files that are personal are in there first) and your phone storage should be normal.

Looks like flashing that twrp messed up your default storage.
Just so you know you're the 8th person I ran into who had trouble with flashify. Looks like the only way is flashing stock ROM .but don't do it yet we'll look together for a less destructive option.
Can you try to flashing through Odin to see if it works.

You can either flash your stock ROM and be done with it or try and wait for a solution but since your device won't boot and you can't even copy your ROM files to phone I don't think there is much you can do(I did try some searching). Normally when this happens there a new folder called "0" (that behaves as a storage)from where you can transfer your rom file to flash but you say you can't do that here. And since after flashing twrp your phone didn't boot your system and directly booted recovery one would think your whole memory partition including system and internal storage got effed up.
So what you're trying to save may already be gone.you should be mad at your self for putting your trust in an app that has resulted in bricks for many users and flash the stock ROM IMO.
Sorry.
You should always make a backup when doing something that has anything to do with root /customization etc..

Yeah, I have only small bits backed up.
The problem i have with twrp is that it needs to format my device for it to work, the same as the last time i did it. I used my other phone as a security measure but my brother managed to format that one 20 minutes before I screwed this one up, and he did that without my knowledge. So the situation is pretty bad here
Thanks
When you have TWRP open on your device and you are connected to your PC, does your PC recognize the device? If so, what does the device manager say it recognizes the device as? Also, do you have a USB-OTG? If so, you can try to mount OTG in TWRP, select OTG as your storage and perform a backup to your USB-OTG. If it works it.can save your butt.

It recognizes it as portable device, samsung galaxy s7 edge, as it should i think. I can't find a storage device right now to connect it to my phone
See if you can round up a USB-OTG device. That may be the obly thing that saves you for any type of backup. Hope it works

Fully Wipe internal Storage and flash new Rom from Pc

Hey guys, I just wanted to know if there is any way by which I could completely wipe the internal memory and flash a rom, kernel etc straight from the PC through USB? Also If someone could recommend a Rom and gapps (xposed user) it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Sent from my A0001 using XDA-Developers mobile app
Well yes that would happen, you'd delete the files you put on the internal storage so, when you do the "full" wipe in TWRP using the Advanced wipe option, select everything except the internal storage which will leave those files located there intact.

I understand but I want to wipe the internal storage too , is there a way for me to flash the files from the PC through recovery?
Sent from my A0001 using XDA-Developers mobile app
No, there's not really much you can do at that point since you'd be cleaning out any content there you'd need to redo the phone back to a functional state. The only types of ROMs you can flash directly in fastboot mode are pretty much the factory CyanogenOS ones from what I can tell, those are the only ones provided as actual partition images, the rest are designed to be installed through recovery, even OxygenOS comes in a recovery flashable form (the last one for the OPO, 2.1.4).
Well there's one possible way: using an OTG USB stick with the ROM files on that, it might work but I can't say for certain it will. You could do the full wipe including the internal storage, use the file manager in TWRP to copy the ROM from the OTG USB stick back to internal storage then flash, maybe.
Just put all the files you need on pen drive, wipe all partitions including internal storage, plug pen drive through otg cable and flash everything you need

I just wipe and transfer the ROM/Gapps/addons from my PC while still in recovery.

I don't use a tool at all. I plug in the USB cable, computer goes "pling", I drag and drop files from my computer into the phone's folder and done.
If you can't do this I'm not really even sure where to begin to find out why I can and you can't. Try just, going into recovery, plugging your phone into your computer and seeing what happens?

You could always just format everything through recovery and then either push or sideload the new rom through adb.

this is the right answer
I'm surprised people haven't come up with ADB push yet.
Before wiping everything ADB pull the required files.
Wipe everything from the recovery, and while in recovery, ADB push everything you pulled back to the device.
Profit!
