Well long story short I bought an OTG adapter and a USB 64gb 3.1... Was fed up of slow read write speed on my s6.. So I kind of have 2 problems originating from 1..
My original issue was with my USB 3.0 drive write speeds of 2mb/'s So I formatted my USB using a "genius" app....
.....
***UPDATE***
WENT IN TO SHOW GUY FOR REPAIR HE BELIEVES I CORRUPTED/DAMAGED MY PHONES MEMORY..
ALL TO SAY I ENDED UP FORMATTING MY SDA1 PARTITION THINKING IT WAS MY USB!!!!!
No mount points found, apparently partitions aren't removable, but not present..
missing dev/block...userdata along with like many more (pic of my /dev contents below)

DEC 4TH UPDATE
Of course this wasn't enough already, but but now when I go to format data in TWRP, it says:
"Unable to update " " to wipe crypto key"
I only tried encrypting my phone 3 days before I wrote this thread was created.. And it did not work.. It would do encryption procedure but it let me use swipe, pattern, etc as passcode options... Usually it's like password with numbers n letters no??
So it didn't ask for decrypt passcode on boot and it didn't give an error message.. So I'm asking if there is a correlation or not..
-_____- simplest fix I had to flash pit via Odin like I stayed a week in this state of 0mb storage lol everything back to regular state no idea why I suddenly got encrypted with no password but whatever lets pray it behaves this time

Unfortunately there is not much to do.
Try to back up the sdcard folder on the PC.
Then format the entire device to a new format (EXT3 for example) and then switch back to EXT4.
Then just install another rom by the same TWRP.
_____________
Maybe you can't backup any files because you won't mount to do that.
So I don't have any other option without being FORMAT AND LOSE all files.
And you still won't have a system/rom to install. Only using another phone to download some.

Fat fingers the touch recovery......I just killed the internal SD,
Can I just reinstall ROM ? or do I need to do something else, first...
I tried to reinstall rom from external but stuck on boot animation, but not boot looping.
Thanks
Ignore!
Its almost like it cant find the internal card.
I tried to instal from internal SD...just to see if I can see any directories
and say no files found, and kicks me out.
When I do mount USB storage, only my EXT shows up, no internal no longer pops up.....am I screwed ?
How can I confirm my internal SD card is mounted/unmounted properly.
Thanks for any help
Can you get into recovery or download mode?
If you can get into download mode I would probably just reflash stock firmware and start over.
I tried that, I did ODIN to stock, it loaded the bootloader, but was stuck on boot loops again.
As far as I can tell, phone isnt seeing the internal SD card. Or I am missing the steps to make the phone see it via clock work.
I can access CWM, and DL mode.... in CWM, I can do mount USB, only my EXT shows up.
I format the internal sd(emmc) before every rom flash. Just install rom from external sd card. There is nothing left on the emmc, you wiped it
I think I m hosed....
I think something went wrong with format.
I tried to reinstall ROM, and during install
error: cant mount csdard.adnoird.secure etc...
what version of cwm?
It touch clock work mod recovery. v.5.8.1.3
Error message is
Formatting /sdcard/.andoird_secure...
Error mounting /sdcard/.android_secure!
Question, are able to mount and see internal SD, after the format emmc via usb storage on PC ? Right now only the EXT shows up for me if I USB mount

I don't use that recovery. I use 5.8. I don't use internal to do anything, I always use external to flash from and store my important stuff. After a while of flashing things the emmc gets jammed up with nonsense.
Just use 5.8 touch, the have to mount and put hidden process folders in that version you have sucks.
Any chance you can link me to the recovery you use, I want to make sure I have the same one.
Thanks you again for the help. Its very appriciated

Good to see a potential train wreck that I'm not part of, get fixed so quickly & expertly!!
Just curious, what's the difference between the two versions of CWM Touch, I'm wondering because I am also using 5.1.8.3? Is it the recovery image, or is this Touch the one developed on xda?

The 5.8 is actually a hercules version for the tmo variant. The sk8er 5.5 or whatever it is, is a version adapted specifically for the rocket, and supposedly it performs the wipe and fix functions correctly. As long as you set it up right and put the hiddenprocess folder and mount sd every time you use it. Last I knew it still won't see both sd cards at the same time. I just don't like dicking around with all that stuff.
Sk8er could probably give you a better explanation of them, I think it even mentions it throughout his thread. I have no problems with the 5.8 version and I couldn't recommend the OP on how to navigate the version he had because I don't use it. So I just moved him to the version I use. Lol
i used 5.8.1.3 and have never had any problems.... i even wipe emmc between flashes. should i not be using this one? how can i get the other?

It's decent. I get around 30mb/s most of the time
P6800 running Zeta
I was browsing facebook the other night when... shaboom - everything froze. No biggie I thought, I'll just do a little reset (I was getting a few FCs here and there anyway lately) and I'll be good to go...
NOPE. It started bootlooping at the initial Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7 screen. I'm able to enter CWM recovery and even wipe the cache and flash ZIP files, but when I try to wipe data/factory reset, wipe the Dalvik cache or restore a Nandroid backupI get a System Error. It doesn't look good.
Is there a way to fix my seemingly funked /system without losing all my internal SD card data (where my Titanium backups reside) or to recover it before a full Odin flash?
Just tried again - it reboots and goes into a loop when I try to wipe data and dalvik, and when I try to restore a previous backup it gives me "Error while restoring /system!"
Any help greatly appreciated before it becomes a $600 door stop
Do you dare to wipe the system folder and follow by flashing another ROM?

Do you mean via Odin? Will I lose the data on my internal SD card by doing that? Is there any way of mounting the device in its current state as external storage on my PC to copy all data before a wipe?
ZhenMing: I'm not sure what you mean, but as I wrote above I am not able to wipe the system folder.
yes you will loose your data... i can give you another advice... but do this one carefully... the reason why your device cant wipe any /system or /data is because the corrupted partition... you need to check it... follow the guide in this thread...
USE ONLY PART 3... follow the guide start from this para to check your device...
Code:
Now we are going to use e2fsck to check our new partitions for errors, but not only, it also fixes some erros and it will even for example create lost & found in /data
So let's go, we'll begin with /system. If you're still in the (parted) shell, use ctrl+c and type "adb shell", then issue the following :

But won't it downsize the int sd size, if OP tab still under warranty, better to get it fix by samsung for free and not lost any space.
Just reading the 1st post of the ZETA rom thread.
He says he is using stock Kernel.
He says every 5 lines, that you should full wipe...
without giving any sort of warning that it will eventually brick your device.

Tried that one, but it won't mount unfortunately. The external will no problem, but when I try with the internal it just... well it does nothing. It's a bummer cause all my most recent backups are on the internal. Any other way of retrieving my data short of extracting the chip?
Giving it back to Samsung sounds like the best option, but I'm worried cause it has a custom ROM and it's rooted. Anyone has experience doing that?
Also I thought full wipes were good, but you're saying they eventually brick the device? How come? I thought having a custom recovery meant it would be virtually impossible to brick my device... and the weird thing is that it happened during normal usage, not while flashing.
Anyway, my priority is obviously to get my tab working again, but retrieving my internal data is second highest. Isn't there a flashable ZIP that would copy the contents of the internal SD into an external SD card? Surely this has happened to someone before me?
Thanks for all the answers, really appreciated!

Gotcha! Will try that one and post result - thanks!
how did your partition check go?
i'm annoyed that some partitions can be corrupted randomly even doing some mundane stuffs
even on stock ICS fw, i encountered DATA corruption by just deleting a contact
i guess you have softbrick..
here is what i did:
-flash stock Honeycomb firmware using Odin
-forced tablet into stock recovery mode
-wipe Cache/Data/Factory Reset
- reboot
when your tab is working again you could backup files from your internal EMMC and you could flash ROMS from there

Thanks for that. I haven't tried anything yet as I'm away till Weds, but I will then and let you know. So you're saying by flashing stock HC via Odin and wiping/resetting everything through stock recovery I won't lose my internal storage data?
that's what i experienced..but i could not guarantee that it will be the same for your device
i noticed that because old folder are not deleted when i rebooted, but i haven't checked if the system folders are cleared
to have a clean reflash i also format/sdcard on recovery..but don't do this on stocl ICS recovery since you might risk increasing the damage
try to format via odin the Honeycomb fw first [don't put PIT file neither enable Repartion, just normal flash]
then force it to enter recovery mode when it bootloops after reset
you might fix your device this way if it has softbrick
just resort to using PIT/repartition as your last option
Again I would not recommend repartition when tab still under warranty. Repartition the last resort only if the tab is without warranty after failing all other alternatives.

Ok I'm gonna do it. There are dozens of versions of HC for the 6800 though, can I just pick any or do I need to find out what it was running out of the box? Mine came from Singapore.
I can get into recovery but I deleted my system files... so must I use odin and a custom recovry (will i looose root?)
Or how does this work
if i could trasfer files onto it I be fine? anyway to force it open I can get into recovry still so there must be a way to force phone on to put files on it or to run a file from computer using twrp
mount usb storage.
mounted in twrp love this recovry problem solved.. note to self ... never delete alll data again
In recovery do your wipes and flash a ROM too easy. No ROM on phone like said mount storage and drop a ROM there.

Thanks. lol I'm getting my PhD in internet jibberish. It helps if you never really make sense yourself.
its not really considered a brick if you wiped your "system", you just dont have a rom installed to boot from, you can just flash a backup in recovery, you did create a backup right, or just flash a rom from your sdcard
I used Flashify to isntall twrp like i did dozen of times before but this time something went wrong, and my phone only boots in twrp. I do not want to flash the a stock rom because I need my music and my photos on my phone!

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.

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.

When i try to put files to my phone from pc it says"the device has either stopped responding or has been disconnected"
Factory reset doesn't work, it fails every time with a lot of red messages saying "failed to mount '/data' (invalid argument)" and "unable to mount storage"

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.

There is nothing for me to do except to cry and be mad hahahahahah :crying: :crying: :laugh:
Do you think there is a solution or should i just accept the fate?
I would just bite the bullet, enter download mode and Odin the stock firmware. Get it over with and start fresh.

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..

Are you sure you don't have your music and images backed up somewhere in the cloud or to your PC? Maybe backed up with Samsung Kies?

Are you 100% familiar with what you can attempt to do with TWRP and your device connected to your PC? When you select "MOUNT" in TWRP what boxes are checked?

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

Hi! So I have that Iphone 8 clone .. running on android 4.2.2 and I've been trying to install twrp.. yet I can't find any good twrp for this.. also I tried porting but I somehow can't manage to get it working .. tbh I don't really get it, It's like, the twrp size is too big or something in comparison to stock one.. as far I can only install cwm.. but I can't really use it xd.. cause this clone has no sd card slot.. oof..
so what I am asking for is, Can someone help me port / find good recovery for it ? or at least explain what should I do.. etc.. ?? ^^' .. I'd be grateful.

You don't have to have an SD card slot to use CWM. If you can get CWM installed, use it, it can flash files from your internal storage, it doesn't require an external SD card.

Apparently I can't seem to find any other option than " flash from SD card"

That is what CWM labels the internal storage, if you had an external sdcard in, it would be called sdcard1 and would show an option to flash from sdcard1.
It gets confusing sometimes but not all android software labels internal and extetnal sdcards the same. Some label internal memory as "sdcard", some label external memory as "sdcard".

No, not weird. It would say that because it can't mount your internal storage. And that would mean that it isn't working correctly and would not allow flashing from internal even if you had stuff stored on it that could be flashed.
See, you aren't understanding that the term "sdcard" does not always refer to an external sd card. Android devives use solid state storage, the internal storage on android IS a sdcard, it's just a permanent one instead of a removeable one.

Keep trying to port TWRP. Have you tried the tool that automates the process to port TWRP for MTK devices? Or have you been manually trying to port TWRP?

Somhow.. That tool gives me an error that, I don't remember exactly ( I'm away from home atm) that twrp is too big in comparison to my stock recovery and I can't simply use that tool -_- and yes, I also tried manually

I'm not real familiar with the process because I'm not an MTK user, but that can be fixed by changing a few parameters during the build/port process.
It involves adjusting the size of your recovery partition to fit the size of the file.
Similar to what is discussed in the thread linked below, it might not explain it well but it gives you the idea of the issue and how to fix it, you might need to look for other threads that discuss the solution in order to get it working for you. I'm just trying to get you pointed in the right direction, whether I can find your specific answer or not.
