[Q] Unable to mount data or internal storage - Samsung Galaxy J7 Questions & Answers

Hello.
Whenever I format my internal storage, I am able to mount data in TWRP, and I can flash whatever I want. However, after booting up OS and going back to TWRP, it is no longer able to mount data.
Is the internal storage having some encryption added to it automatically after bootup? How to solve this?
I am using J710F, currently rooted with Magisk 13.1
Thanks for the help and sorry if this is asked before

Did not decrypt internal storage prior to installing TWRP

I installed TWRP successfully, but because I'm an idiot, I didn't decrypt my internal storage first. This has put me in a situation where TWRP cannot access or mount internal storage, and the tablet won't boot to OS so I can decrypt it from the GUI. Can someone suggest something please? Thanks!

[HELP NEEDED] Cannot access internal storage from Recovery

Here's what I have done so far:
1. Set up MIUI with a pattern lock. Haven't done anything explicitly that will encrypt internal storage.
2. Applied for bootloader unlock.
3. Unlocked bootloader.
4. Flashed TWRP to recovery from Fastboot, then booted into TWRP
5. Formatted /data from TWRP
6. Rebooted to TWRP
7. Wiped /data, /internal, /dalvik, /cache
8. Flashed crDroid (A10).
Here is where the problem begins. I set up crDroid without any passcode or screen lock. But the internal storage is still encrypted. Now when I boot into TWRP, the internal storage is not accessible. Same with PBRP. Trying to wipe Internal Storage from PBRP makes it reboot. The log from PBRP is attached here.
How do I decrypt the internal memory so that I can access it via TWRP/PBRP? Formatting /data doesn't seem to solve anything at all.
The reason I want to decrypt internal memory is because I want an absolutely clean crDroid install with no prior data hanging around anywhere in the system.

Damaged Internal Storage Partition (Need Recovery)

I have flashed my phone using qcom flasher its a snapdragon 800 device elife e7. Now the problem is I can access internal storage but phone storage is not available means can't save any photo content etc. I tried formatting with twrp but no help. It shows sdcard0 as vfat on adb shell but nothing works. Any help pls. Would be really grateful. Thanks
Formatting always deletes / wipes all data on chosen partition.
I can't format it I don't care about the data . Tried it with twrp but it fails to even mount the storage every other partition is working flawlessly except the Storage/internal SD
Is there any way to partition internal storage through root?
IMO far easier is to reflash phone's Stock ROM.
that didn't fix it

Question Orange Fox Decrypting Data

Today I unlocked my bootloader and installed orange fox recovery, I tried to install TWRP but it wasn't being permanent, it was just disappearing after once I boot the device to system. Whatever, after I installed Orange Fox, it was permanent but I faced another problem, I couldn't mount my data, my internal storage couldn't be selected so I wasn't able to flash anything, usb otg option was also showing nothing but the device was connected to a PC and my data was encrypted which requires a password or pin to decrypt. Though I didn't have any screen lock, but I tried out many pins and passwords to decrypt, but it all went in vein. I tried formatting data and enabling a screen lock and tried that screen lock too but it didn't work out.
Now what can I do to Decrypt and mount my data so that my internal storage shows up with the data I have?
NB: My battery backup also dropped hugely for some unknown reasons, how do I fix that too?

Custom recoveries like TWRP and OrangeFox cannot decrypt Android 12 ROMs, which means if you are on MIUI 13 you have Android 12, you cannot decrypt internal storage yet.
USB OTG means to connect to an external hard drive or flash drive, not connect to PC.
2 ways to deal with: 1) put ROM in microSD card and put the microSD card into the phone, TWRP and OrangeFox should be able to read microSD cards. 2) use ADB sideload in TWRP/OrangeFox to flash ROMs/Zips files. You need PC to do this. Look up on Google how to flash with ADB sideload.
Hi Guys! I Found a new Method how to Decrypt the Storage.
1. Go to Wipe and wipe the Internal Storage (First make a Backup to Your PC)
2. Go to Backup and Backup Something, like Cache
3. Go to Menu>Mount, uncheck the Data and Check it.
4. Format the Data with Typing yes and Reboot
4. You're done and Enjoy!
TRWP beta can decrypt internal storage of A12.1, I am using it and it works fine.
OrangeFox beta builds are able to decrypt a12 data no probs. Even unoffical twrp beta can.
