problem-Twrp didn't show sdcard (internal storage) - Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers

Hi
After i install twrp v3.2.1-1 (herolte) on my galaxy s7 (sm-G930F) then i boot to twrp and ask me to swipe (right to allow modification)
And i swipe, after that i click the install button and then.. There is no sdcard (internal storage) it shows sdcard 0 mb while the external card shows normally but when i flash anything the twrp told me in red font (can't mount data) even i try to format but even that it says the same thing.
Please help me to to install the twrp recovery on my device correctly.
Note that I'm on android nougat 7.0
Thanks in advance.

Your device is still encrypted.
In TWRP go to wipe>format data that will delete the encryption.(But it will also delete ALL DATA.)
Then restart and swipe right to allow modification.
After that you should be good to go.

what do i do next

i recently bought a galaxy tab s2 8inch tablet (sm-t719). i want to root it
i am following:-
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W7JjDfeIyRI and http://forum.xda-developers.com/tab-s2/development/twrp-3-0-2-1-galaxy-tab-s22016-sm-t713-t3390627
this is what i did until now:-
1) i copied the supersu zip file to the tablet
2) i ran odin on my laptop and i installed twerp on the tablet
3) i tried to do backup of boot, system and data. it said failed and cannot mount /data
4) it failed because:-
At the moment TWRP isn't working with encryption, this means the DATA Partition and internal storage cannot be mounted.
To mount the Data partition encryption needs to be removed and the boot image patcher needs to be flashed below.
This can be done via the FORMAT DATA button under the WIPE option in TWRP.
5) i did the format data and i got stuck. i dont know what to do next
i am unable to find the supersu zip file that i copied to the tablet. also if i say reboot then the tablet is not booting up and this is because of:-
After formatting DATA the boot image patcher can be flashed with TWRP. The boot image patcher MUST be flashed before booting the device to system.
what do i do next?
should i get an external sd card, put card in my laptop and copy on it the supersu zip file and the boot image patcher, put the sd card in the tablet then install the supersu and flash the image boot patcher? is this the only way?
@cns00 your status for now??? Did you able to boot or it won't turn on ????
i can turn on but i cant boot. it said i need to flash the image boot patcher so i can boot and i didnt do that
i put tablet in download mode. can i install the UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.76-20160630161323.zip by using odin instead of doing it in twerp? if yes how?
can i flash the no-verity-no-encrypt_ashyx.zip by using odin instead of doing it in twerp? if yes how?
or do i need to get an external sd card and put both zip files on it and do it in twerp?

HELP! wrong sdcard size after flashing rom

I have flashed a new rom on my phone with twrp 3.4.0.0
When I got to the new UI I had no free space (both internal and sdcard)
Back to twrp I took these steps:
1. Boot into TWRP recovery.
2. Select Wipe » Advanced Wipe.
3. Tick/check the Data partition.
4. Select Repair or Change File System button.
5. And lastly select Resize File System button.
that solved the internal storage size, but the storage of sdcard shows 80MB when it should read 128GB.
I tryed the same method for sdcard but it cant be done on sdcard selection.
Is there any solution without formating sdcard?
if not please provide a solution with formating on twrp.
I have searched for a solution but no result...
Please help! i have no time to search right now!

Problem solved by replacing twrp with pitchblack ver.3 and repeating the procedure mentioned.

[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.

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.

Question: After TWRP install and /data format can't access encrypted SD card data anymore, is this normal?

Thanks for this great site, I followed the instructions in this thread to install TWRP on a Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) running Android 7 with encryption enabled on the Phone: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...axy-j3-2017-sm-j330f-j330fn-j330g-ds.3709056/
Since encryption was enabled on the Phone (including the SD card) TWRP could not mount the /data partition which was fine (I could load a zip from USB OTG instead). But the Phone complained on normal boot about "Integrity check failure" and that it would reboot to recover/restore, but the same message appeared on reboot. To get out of this endless loop I booted into TWRP and formatted the /data partition (without encryption) since all important data is stored on the encrypted SD card. Now the Samsung Galaxy J3 was able to boot normally without any integrity warnings but with all data/settings gone (as expected). The problem now is I can't access the encrypted data on the SD card anymore, I have the option to decrypt it but it stays on the verification stage and never ends (it has been now more than 48h stuck trying to decrypt the data which is more than enough time). I can't encrypt the /data partition either, it reboots unencrypted as nothing has been done. Is this normal? Is there a way to recover the data on the SD card? I no longer want to do any experiments and increase the damage and any help would be appreciated!
Steps done so far:
1 - Put Samsung Galaxy J2 (2017) with enabled encryption (on both Phone and SD card) in Download mode
2 - Flash TWRP with ODIN and auto reboot disabled
3 - Reboot directly into recovery mode / TWRP - /data can't be mounted, expected since the Phone is encrypted
4 - Reboot normally, Phone is still encrypted but error "Integrity check failed" appears all tells the Phone is going to reboot to recover/restore
5 - Since the Phone keeps showing this integrity error all the time and is not able to boot normally I boot to recovery / TWRP again and format /data which can now be mounted since it has no encryption
6 - Phone boots again normally with settings/data gone (expected) but decrypting SD Card doesn't work (stuck in "decrypting SD card" for more then 48h) and Phone encryption does no longer work either (reboots unencrypted nothing is done)
I also tried installing no-verity-no-encrypt_ashyx.zip on TWRP but it didn't help. At this point I wish I could restore the old state even if it means no TWRP / rooting, the data on the SD card and having working encryption is more important. Sadly since I couldn't mount /data with TWRP at the beginning when it was still encrypted I couldn't make a backup
Thanks for any help, information or feedback. Maybe everything is working as expected and I should have kept my fingers away from TWRP!
PS: "Encryption" refers to the OS/Android encryption in Settings > Security
