Hi. I accidentally wiped my phone's Internal Storage.
After which I tried to flash AOSP Oreo 8.1 based ROM and GAPPS.
I have flashed the ROM successfully.
But when I flash the GAPPS, it throws Error code: 70.
I did a bit of googling and found that this is storage related issue and several posts insisted to use a smaller package of GAPPS.
I used FULL package when I hit the issue. But when i used PICO, the GAPPS was installed successfully.
But I am facing issues while installing apps.
Looks like the storage is formatted and I am not able to see the Data, Android, DCIM, and all the other usual folders.
Due to this several apps like Camera, Uber, Whatsapp backup, Google Chrome etc are not getting downloaded/not working fine.
Please help me to recover this.
Thanks,
Bala

Hi guys, have been reading a lot on rooting for my Samsung Galaxy SII GTI9100 for quite a while and since yesterday have rooted and flashed Paranoid Android 3.50 ROM with 4.2.2 Jelly Bean, along with Gapps. Everything seemed fine, I did a clean wipe (factory, cache, dalvik) and everything was successful, however when booted up I realised that the wipe wasn't exactly "clean" as I still had most of my data still in my Internal Memory. Along with that, I realised that my Paranoid Android Halo Features were non existent (the reason I chose PA), so I decided to do another clean wipe + flash.
Now I can't exactly remember the turn of events that follows but what happened is that my EXTERNAL sd card seemed to be unmounted after I formatted it thinking that they meant to format the INTERNAL sd card. From this point forward, neither my phone nor my PC is able to detect the EXTERNAL sd card.
I have done multiple wipes, re-flashes, read MANY of threads on xda and other sites, but it seems that with every solution I find, I get another problem. I have tried flashing other PA ROMS, even Stock ROM, but they all give me some kind of error (Status 7 I believe). I tried to do a recovery, but I recieved a md5sum error. Tried to fix that with the various methods including adb but I get "cannot find file/directory" or something along those lines. Some other errors include Signature Verification: Fail, and when I used adb to push the ROM onto my EXTERNAL sd card (surprisingly it managed to be pushed through but I can't see it on my pc/phone) and tried to install zip from there using CWM, it says something like the zip file is (bad).
Currently I'm now stuck on PA 3.50 with Gapps not installed (tried installing many times but it doesn't appear, only worked the first time). Tried with two different Gapps file but I get the usual installation error. Can't install Google Play via any external apk either.
The PA ROM that I currently have is:
pa_i9100-3.50-10MAJ2013-030547.zip
and the Gapps that ORIGINALLY worked on the first try was:
pa_gapps-full-4.2-20130603-signed.zip
Would really appreciate help, it's been more than 12 hours since I've been doing this and I haven't stopped trying except for a couple hours of sleep. Not the first time I'm rooting (have a rooted Touchpad running CM9), but didn't expect things to get so bad.
Sorry for the long post and thank you in advance.
So I have had CM10 on my phone for probably 8 months now (almost since I got the phone) and have had no issues with the ROM whatsoever.
I got a notification about an updated version of CM10 today and went ahead and downloaded and installed it, but when I finished the update, I had no personal data left on the phone, could not set up accounts to recover the data, could not (and still can't) recover backups through ROM Manager, and cannot recover backups through CWM. I get an error message which I can't remember at the moment and leads to a bricked phone upon reboot until I do a fresh install of CM10.0.
I read after I started having the issues that I wasn't supposed to directly upgrade from the CM Updater with an S3, but it was already too late. Supposedly the issue is something along the lines of an emulated version of my phone's internal storage? If that makes sense. So whenever it's pulling a piece of information it's looking in the spot it should be in, but on a non-physically-existent SD card, essentially. That's what I gathered anyways.
I have a 32gb external SD Card that is also in use with my S3. I have tried moving my ROM Backups to there and recovering from the External SD Card, but the same error message occurred, although ROM Manager was at least able to find the backups after they were moved (I also had to change the setting and request that it prefer to look through an external SD Card).
So I have a usable ROM as far as the software itself, but I no longer can use any accounts or information that is stored with them or any of the same widgets (not a game-breaker) as I was able to previously. Is there a way to fix this? I've never just been completely stuck before >.<

Just to be clear, you're saying to try and flash CM10.0 and then do not update when prompted from the notification? The other part was clear enough lol.
Edit: Tried the above and did not fix the problem, but I didn't use fastboot specifically because I have a Samsung phone.
The error I'm getting is "unable to mount /system" when I try and restore a backup.
Bump. Still haven't figured this out.
Problem solved.
Re-flashed CM10.1; doing full data, cache, and dalvik wipes before and after the flash; and the problem was corrected.
Hi guys
I recently installed the latest omnirom (v4.4 / Kitkat), which can be found in the post below.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2488986
After following all instructions and what seemed to be a successful installation, my phone seem to be unable to access it's internal storage. This leads to the camera, galary and other aps not working.
Note that I have tried the following:
1. Reformatted internal storage using gparted. I reformated it to fat32.
2. Installed supersu and tried using different aps to fix internal storage. I did not find any aps that actually helped.
3. Tried SlimKat rom instead of Omnirom. Same issue still prevails.
Can anyone give me some information on solving this problem?
Thanks
TJ
Hello,
I have managed to take my tablet from KitKat to Lollipop and then Marshmallow using cm-13.0-20160802. Everything was working fine up to a point when I was in Japan and then I started experiencing problems with Wi-Fi connections. Following the boot, I was getting a message stating that "Process system isn't responding...". Restarting the tablet was some sort of a solution to be able to use Wi-Fi.
Back to home, I was determined to obtain the most recent version of cm-13.0 hoping to solve the issue but I was not simple. First, let me say that I have a micro SD of 32 Gig, which was integrated as internal memory. My recovery program was TWRP 3.0.0-0. I have tried to follow the steps as explained on Android-Andi FAQ page. I might have made an error somewhere but anyhow, the end result was an empty tablet. Everything was gone including backups saved on the external SD.
To fix this, I have restored my tablet to 4.2.2, rerouted it, went to Lollipop with cm-12.1 and finally to Marshmallow cm-13.0-20161007. Again, my external SD card is now integrated and viewed as internal memory using the feature that comes with cm-13. I have just found out that 2 other releases of cm-13 have been made available since. TWRP is now 3.0.2-7 and was used to back up Lollipop as well as EFS.
I would like to proceed with the update but I would prefer to take an easy way, not the long one as I was forced to. Here is my question: considering that my external SD is viewed as being internal storage, what should I do in order to update my current version of cm-13 to a more recent version?
Regards
You have two options
a.) Doing a dirty flash. Install the rom then wipe cache and dalvik. Then reboot
b.) Clean flash. Wipe /system, /data, dalvik, and cache then install the rom. Then wipe cache and dalvik again and reboot.
Wiping Data (Internal storage not /data) is usually not needed unless you want to encrypt the device.
Don't forget to use the latest recovery.
Cheers
Thanks Lightracer for your reply.
By the time I received your reply, I had figured out my problem. I can now update my rom with my external sd card has being viewed as internal storage without loosing everything.
For your information, I do use the latest recovery tool. By the way, I prefer the clean approach.
Thanks again for your involvement.
Hey.....so i have twrp and after installing my lineage of choice i go to flash gapps
it flashes successfully (i install immediately after lineage)
But upon setup and boot up....i cant download even a single app from the PLAY STORE as it displays an error.
Its quite random as i find that the error disappears when i flash again but also it might not and so am confused on what to do and what am doing right to skip that error
Summary: I have just done a clean install of lineage and gapps but when i want to download an app it shows an insufficient storage error....when i still have like the whole phone storage to use. (no restore from backup was done so phone is empty)
Help....
Thanks
Edit: i made it clear its an issue in playstore not in twrp...as i can handle up until stock gapps.
The error gets triggered if not enough free storage space in partition /system and/or /vendor. Just try with micro version of GApps.

i use pico and i can even use stock if i want, device is quite capable ...im saying that i cant download an app in play store as it shows an insufficient storage error hence am confused as i have storage cause i just finished a clean install of lineage
Then storage space in /data and/or /cache partition isn't sufficient. Take note that when downloading an app from Google Play Store in addition to APK's download-size extra ~500MB are needed.

Have you tried going to system settings>applications then finding and selecting the Playstore on the list of apps then tap "storage" then wiping cache and storage for the Playstore app, then reboot the device?
Or
Have you tried booting into recovery and wiping cache and dalvik cache then reboot the device?

ye i tried the second one and the first one( i didnt restart though) but its not a playstore issue as even in the device file explorer it does not show the internal storage hence the files are not even accessible but the storage size is still seen in settings but i just cant access them....its weird
When in Android's Settings menu tap Storage, tap Advanced, wait for seconds the internal storage gets loaded, tap on internal storage: you'll be shown all the categories in your phone's internal storage. From this you can attain which storage folder or category is taking up huge amount of space in your phone internal storage.

Try another clean install of your ROM and a different gapps package, there may be something wrong with your gapps file, it has been known to happen.
Or, try a clean install of your ROM but do not install gapps, then, reboot into system but do not sign in yet, then power off and boot back into recovery and flash your gapps then reboot. This has been known to fix many issues with flashing ROMs and gapps.

Simplest way to fix your problem is too head back into Twrp recovery and perform a Factory Reset.

your solution seems as the most likely to work so i have marked it as the solution but what i did was just flash stock rom and mounted system in the stock recovery and cleared cache and did a factory reset and boot into the stock rom then i reflashed twrp and flashed the lineage and gapps
that worked
On second thought... im marking this as the solution cause i feel its assured to work cause you are going back to the stock rom and its default system partition and i never had issues flashing when i came from the stock rom.
i even flashed the aroma gapps
Thanks for the help guys...i appreciate it

this did not work....i cleared everything and even formatted data
I don’t know if you found the solution but if didn’t format data clean your phone
Download the version you want make sure both the lineage and gaps are the same in my case I got lineage-18.1 and mindTheGapps 11
Because lineage 18.1 is 11 I tried other gapps but most didn’t work
Then after copy the both files directly in phone internal storage or if your phone supports SDcard put them in there
1st install the gapps.zip then the lineage.zip then reboot system and vwala Insufficient storage gone everything should work including all google apps if chrome or Gmail is missing download in playstore or use browser to download The apk
On mine, I just wiped cache and dalvik cache, then did a dirty flash of opengapps (which was what I'd already been using prior to the TWRP restore), and that fixed it, so that might be a less destructive option for some people.

The problem is lack of space in the system.
The gapps is not supported in many LineageOSes:
Google apps | LineageOS Wiki
wiki.lineageos.org
This worked for me on two One Plus One phones:
Further down in the page they recommend MindTheGapps (not gapps) with Lineage 18.1 (Android 11) .

The ‘resize’ action should really be called something else since it doesn’t do anything unless there’s unallocated partitions lying around....
If you actually want to resize, you’ll have to download a version of TWRP that has hh_repart. A version that worked for me is described here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...h-for-nexus-5-hammerhead-discontinued.4047653 .. I used this custom TWRP: https://sourceforge.net/projects/hammerhead-twrp/ which successfully bumped my Nexus 5 from a 1GB to 1.44GB, enough to put on Lineage 18.1 and OpenGapps Arm 11.0 Pico.
