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.

Are you using SuperSU ??
To delete system apps, download system app uninstaller from play store and grand it superuser permission.

Hi, now I caused a pretty good problem on my phone. I have Zopo ZP980 32GB version .
I installed from Google Play app Root Explorer .
2 Watch this video and stop time to 00:49 . https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RI08wNsanLY Everything I ticked there .
3 After a few seconds I started coming same error messages that can not run the application etc google.com, provider.......
4 Mobile I rebooted , but it dont start. It show me only logo Zopo and that is everything.
5 I can go to Recovery menu through Android Commander .
6 I have access to the internal storage only if I turn on the phone in recovery mode and then selecting the following line
{
"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"
}
and then the MMC .
Otherwise not get to it or through Android Commander . Then I can via Android Commander write data , otherwise it shows me as an empty space . Than I cant write anything data to my phone.
7 Then I copy to phone Rom.zip, I also tried twrm .
8 I leave this recovery menu and then get into recovery via Android Commander , where I can find update.zip, than i try install it, but still it write me: installation aborted , something like it was impossible to write anything on the internal space or card.
9 I tried it throught ADB . All the commands I have written well , it loadet my upda.zip (ROM) file in my pc to 100 % and then when it should start installing on your phone again wrote only installation aborted .
10 Mobile have root and USB Debugging is turned on. And yes i did factory reset, wipe data and cache.
THANKS
Now I was trying update some img files, but it write me in Adnroid Commander, that i dont have root access.
I deleted everything from my sd card, but nothing change.
Hello to everyone.
I have phone LG g pro 2 D838 made in Korea, that has strange symptoms. When it boots, appear screen with keyboard and input box with text ''Enter PIN/password to decrypt 30/30 attempts remaining". After I entered some code, it shows "29/30 attempts remaining, and no matter how many times wrong code is entered, still remains 29/30. Download mode working, and I try to flash latest stock rom 10f, but nothing happened. Then I try stock roms 10a, 10b and 10d, but still nothing. Next to the download mode, I have a recovery mode, in which there is no menu. In this mode, it is possible to access phone with ADB, but everything is read only, and system is not mounted. I can list folder contents, but I can't push or pull, and when i try to use shell, I get a message " -exec '/system/bin/sh' failed: No such file or directory", because system partition is not mounted. ADB Remount generate error " remount failed: Success ". I forgot to mention that every time when i try to flash stock rom, in box on phone display was written, in red letters, 'ROOTED'. I guess that unroot is not succeeded . Also suppose that possible solution is to flash some custom rom with recovery, but i can do that only if I have it in KDZ format. Does anyone know how to make a custom rom in KDZ format, or someone already has it? Does anyone know some other solution?

From what it looks like, you've encrypted your phone. That explains the password on startup and the unmounted system.
If you don't know your encryption password, you have a bit of a problem on your hands.
From what I know, there's no way to hack into or change your phone when it's encrypted.

In first, thank you on reply ,Turtle_Cookies.
If the phone is encrypted, it should be possible to reset it to factory settings. The user data is encrypted, so it would delete them and set to the default settings, and that should recover the phone. On the other hand, I can access to certain directories by ADB (like etc,sys), but can't change it. Am I right?
Same Issue
Did you found solution to this?
I recently rooted my tablet and I would like to get Xposed Framework but I'm getting this error
"Xposed is not (yet) compatible with Android SDK version 23 or your processor architecture (armeabi-v7a).
CANNOT LINK EXECUTABLE: library "libdvm.so" not found."
Can anyone help??
You're trying to use an old version of Xposed.
http://dl-xda.xposed.info/framework/sdk23/arm/
Grab the latest (v85) zip from here and flash it.
Xposed Framework
Can this be done without a computer? (I have twrp) And also how safe is this
Help would be highly appreciated
I am on a OnePlusOne running CM13 (6.0.1) and got the same error after flashing the latest xposed-v86-sdk23-arm.zip
Where can I find the apk

Yes just download the zip on the tablet then boot to recovery and flash it worked fine for me in fact when I was doing my tablet all I did with the pc was the OEM unlock and the pushing of twrp after that is just used twrp to do root and xposed.
I'm having trouble flashing the zip file. Everytime I try I get this:

}
After this all hell breaks loose while trying to boot. Running the uninstaller partially fix the problems but then I get no system partition free space.
In the end I must revert to the backup I did before.
Anyone having the same issue? I'm using twrp 3.0.2-2-shieldtablet
I also tried different versions (85, 84, 83, 82) but they all had the same error.
First you need to uninstall some apps from system partition using "System app remover" (root needed), then you can install xposed (official). It worked with me
Hi!
That's precisely how I eventually solved the issue I noticed that the system partition only had around 4MB of free space and xposed is bigger than that.
But thanks for the reply anyway and it will tip anyone that have the same issue in the future.
I got the same error message as above attempting to install v87 on my original shield tablet and I have 20gb free on the internal memory so that's not the issue for me.
Any suggestions?
Yesterday I got all my root set up and working fine on my Redmi Note 9 Pro using Magisk (albeit without TWRP installed as I didn't know anything about it at the time) then I decided to install the Smali Patcher module with Magisk so that I could Spoof Pokemon Go with my son in the evenings. I created the module no problem, but when Magisk flashed it, my phone bricked and got stuck in a bootloop to fastboot. I eventually got TWRP installed and factory reset my phone in the "WIPE" menu, I used the standard Wipe that deletes user data etc then factory resets the phone. Everything seemed fine, I was able to set up the phone as per normal until after about half an hour I noticed none of my apps had installed yet. I went into the Play Store and most of had a "couldn't restore" error on them and clicking on one and trying to force it to install would come up with an error about insufficient storage space.
I plugged my phone into my PC to have a look and to be amazement, Internal Storage doesn't show up at all, only the SD Card shows. After over an hour, only one or two apps have successfully installed so I assume they are installing onto the SD card and that's why they are taking an absolute age to install. Most of the apps just flat out won't install so I can pretty much just make a phone call, that's it. Am i right in thinking I have corrupted my Internal Storage somehow and the OS is now isntalled onto the SD card? Maybe the Internal Storage has been formatted and not reallocated or something? How do I go about restoring my phone to how it should be ie 64gb Internal Storage.
I have tried restoring to factory settings again and it made no difference,

Hello!
How to unmount an old android 4.4.2 data partition?
Update: phone model if that makes any difference is Sony Xperia E1 dual
Not sure where to put this question, so I guess a general??
I have no knowledge of linux, android. But I got a programming background on windows systems and web.
I want to unmount an old android 4.4.2 data partition to run file system check because after deleting some files in data directory I am unable to write anything.
Could anyone please help me to get an idea how to do this? I searched the threads but they are more about flashing, TWRP and so on. Would not a simple file system check be enough in this case? As I noticed possibly it might be some sort of inode error? So checkdisk or something should fix it, shouldn't it?
I tried clearing the cache, it helped, but after few hours could not write anything again.
Now even the cache cleaning does not help.

It's always a good idea to set filepointer to begin of filesystem if you mount / unmount a partition: doing so you'll never run into error "Device or resource busy"

thanks for the tip!
However, I am a noob in linux/android, and the mount was done by android or KINGO rooter. So should I something like restart in recovery mode? Update:
Code:
adb reboot recovery
-> just rebooted to the regular interface
Update: phone is Sony Xperia E1 dual
I thought fixing a disk would be something like very basic task, like one liner or one parameter I did not add...
The mounting is just a way how I think I might solve the problem. That might be absolutely wrong way, not sure, now trying to move in the darkness by intuition only ...
Main problem: can not write anything with free space avaliable. Appeared since I deleted some files from /data using adb and rm command.
I also tried all the devices, but none of them was checked with two types of error:
