Need help! Phone crashed

So i have no idea what my OPO happened so i tried to do advanced wipe on TWRP page.
Now my system is gone, and my SD card is empty I couldn't flash a rom into my device.
Is there anyway I able to flash a rom file in zip format and flash it into my devices with fastboot mode and use android-sdk/platform-tools.. I need help my phone is not working at all!

So you had a problem and thought wiping everything would fix it or you don't know why wiping everything would cause a problem?

So when doing the advanced wipe you wiped everything? Surely it was obvious that wiping 'system' and 'internal storage' would result in this. Use adb to push a ROM zip to your phone so you can flash it.

Failed to mount /data in twrp?

I have flashed android 8.0 with odin then flashed twrp with odin (making sure to disable auto reboot) and rebooted straight into twrp. I then flashed dm verity disabler and now i was able to boot back into my os. The problem is i am now unable to mount my data partition. I have tried formatting my data and this works, but whenever i boot back into my os and set up android, tge problem comes back. Can anyone help with this?

This Worked for me too. It's a simple trick but it's working. Via TWRP, modify EXT4 to EXT2, then again to EXT4 ;-)

Thanks guys
I'm sure it will be useful to many who are going through the same issue

It works only 1 time... and after you lose all data the error come back next boot...

I am planning to install a custom ROM on my S7 and now looking for a way to backup the /data/ partition, which is encrypted.
My preferred solution would be to create a full backup of the old system using twrp, but that doesn't seem to be feasible due to encryption. As the device is not rooted, I cannot pull /data over adb, remove encryption, then restore /data. Any ideas how to solve this?

Galaxy S7 930f can't access twrp

Hello, thanks for your help.
It seems I bricked my galaxy s7 while trying to format the /data partition.
I installed TWRP 3.2 and a custom rom, and everything went smoothly until then.
I tried installing an audio mod which throwed a " can't mount /data" error, searching for solutions I read that formatting the data partition to fat and back to ext4 should solve the problem, I tried formatting it to fat with TWRP, however on the first try I got a message that it suceeded, followed by a message that /data could not be mounted, TWRP seemed to be still working (there was no reboot button or any other buttons, just a "working" bar). After giving the phone 3 hours I decided to restart it, now I can't access TWRP; it stays on it's "splashcreen", and of course the phone won't boot.
I'm having a rough time with this so I will appreciate it a lot if you can help me.
Thank you.

Boot to download mode, flash stock firmware using Odin, then retry the TWRP installation.
For wiping data, you have to make sure you use the wipe option that makes you type out 'yes' to wipe, the other factory wipe methods don't actually properly wipe the partition.
iirc you also then need to flash the dm no verity zip from the TWRP thread.

Bro you didn't have to do anything but just formating the phone in the first place. Aassuming you're on oreo , it happens to a lot of people and myself, after flashing a kernel twrp was unable to munt data, all i had to do is a data format in twrp that fixed the problem .

Format Data partition \ No boot!

Hi
I've recently rooted my xz p , installed TWRP and faced the notorious encryption issue (can't mount data partition because it is encrypted). I searched around and found that formatting data partition will solve the issue. Tried it and TWRP was able to read the partition and mount it. After restart however, the phone can no longer boot (stuck at Xperia screen)… Tried this about three times:
flash rom with wiping partitions from flashtool => flash recovery =>TWRP ok => first boot ok => restart => TWRP can't read data => format EXT4 (can't repair) => reboot => stuck
I add that normal rom flashing won't solve the issue, must wipe userdata partition and flash it again

What version of twrp are you using?

twrp-3.3.0-0-maple

I would try the previous version of twrp. Because I just upgraded to 3.3.0 and could not mount my data partition. So I went back to my previous version (don't remember exact version) and then everything worked again.

in my phone in recovery mode

Hey. Help. I formatted the date section, the PC does not detect the device in any modes.

Cant upgrade because of faulty TWRP, need help removing TWRP

Hi,
I accidently flashed TWRP, but i was already on emui9 so twrp doesent work there.
Now i can update the EMUI anymore because when the phone restarts during the install process it goes into recovery (twrp) which causes the update to fail
My question is: Can i remove twrp, maybe by flashing the orignal ramdisk image? pls help

You would have to reflash the recovery partition... Which we don't have, and since TWRP is kind of broken on EMUI 9.... well...
Can you just wipe caches and reboot to get the phone working? The update is stored in the cache partition, if you wipe cache it should boot normally.

Not if you are on EMUI 9... I don't believe so as we don't have the factory image for it, and to my knowledge we can't just dd it or make a backup of it right now. Although you might be able try the downgrade to 8.1 in another thread here, then upgrade via OTA again, but that's your choice.
I haven't installed TWRP on this devices, but basically go to the wipes menu, advanced wipes, and tick anything that says cache in it's name (often Dalvik cache and cache) and swipe to wipe them. This will not harm any of your data or applications, only the cache space. Then reboot.

Just flash your stock RECOVERY_RAMDIS.img*from your firmware. This will repair your recovery.
To extract images from*UPDATE.APP*in the zip, you have to use*Huawei Update Extractor.
