Phone got stuck

i was trying to root my phone and install twrp in it. Then twrp came on screen then i wiped the data and copied one rom in internal storage and tried to flash it but it got into error. I tried again but result is same. so i tried to reboot phone into recovery so that twrp must reload again but it went to default oneplus recovery which it must not go(correct me if i am wrong). now as i know that no os is installed in my phone and i am in recovery so then i tried to soft unbrick my phone when i connect my phone to computer but device is not showing in device manager which it should(correct me if i am wrong). Now i don't knw what to do. Please help
Thanks in advance.

Have you enable mtp ?
Twrp recovery is best recovery use it
Download twrp.img from official site
Flash it through your present recovery.
After it format everything data, internal storage,dalvik, cache.
Reboot twrp
Install any custom ROM.
Enjoy

You got a option in recovery to enable mtp
If you select keep read only partition them you can only read you can't format or write anything.
When TWRP starts it shows this option Keep read only partition. Many of guys check this and swipe.so they have problems to flash and wipe anything.
Connect a mmc using card reader with PC.
Copy custom ROM
Select install
Select mmc
Select file
Wait for process done
Wipe dalvik,cache
Reboot phone.
Done
?

Of course!

In need of help! TWRP!

first some back story:
it's been a long time since i did a lot of rooting so i lost a lot of knowledge.
I got the phone close to release in the EU.
There was only BETA stage twrp at the time.
So i flashed this unstable twrp and rooted with magisk.
And i run stock Oxy Rom.
But the main problem is, whenever i boot into recovery, twrp ask me for a password. (i have none) so i press continue.
And it then ask for unmodified system partition. (not sure what to select here)
But when i swipe to allow modification, i can't find the root of the phone? i cannot find the download folder where i flash updates or other modified apk's.
It's all just numbers and random letter. i have no idea on how to proceed or how to update twrp safely without falling into boot loop and other problems.
Some help would be appriciated. Thank you.

and which of my problems does this solve?

First of all flash official TWRP now. Makes no sense to use the unofficial version because its not stable.
Enter PW -> decrypt data for TWRP
No PW -> hieroglyphs

I successfully used official twrp, version 3.2.2 and then did a "format data" and then used fastboot again to install the full rom.

U have corrupted u r data partation u have to factory reset along with wiping internal storage and then transfer u r rom File through MTP in sd card of phone and then flash rom.
Or u can flash fastboot flashable rom via fastboot mode.
Then install your official twrp via fastboot mide after installing rom.
Now twrp will detect all data from sd card

Thank you, all i did was add a four digit code when twrp asked me for a password. now the folders are showing up correctly. not just random numbers and letters.
still need to update twrp safely. can i flash a new twrp within twrp or do i need to update via computer?

All of your problems i presume

Can Anyone help me, please? I have somehow the same problem. The phone literally itself without doing anything started doing a download(odin) mode loop. So I deleted data, dalvik, cache, system partitions without internal storage since it has very very important files for me and a lot of projects for the university!!! and before and after the folders in internal storage in twrp shows as random numbers and letters. I don't know why since when the phone was working normally I was protecting it by fingerprint and a password. And when I installed a stock ROM after it without wiping the internal storage. The storage is showing in negative. If anyone can help me this would be super appreciated and helpful. Thank you!

If it is already showing folders with random file names in the internal storage it means it needs to format data (to remove file encryption) which deletes all files in the internal storage.
Don't wipe system because it removes your OS.
Always secure backup before messing your device.

You may try this boot.img just rename to boot.img only.

Sorry I thought you are also literally same issues with OP but then it's not. Are you able to reboot to twrp? And what is the whole story of you device? I mean if you are rooted, what ROM you came from and all that you did before the issues occur. And did you tried to switch slot? Since you wiped everything with system included then you have no OS installed. Did you tried to flash OS via OTG? Or flash via fastboot.

I flashed another os without deleting the internal storage but the storage is now showing in negative values. Story is The phone literally itself without doing anything started doing a download(odin) mode loop. So I deleted data, dalvik, cache, system partitions without internal storage since it has very very important files for me and a lot of projects for the university!!! and before and after the folders in internal storage in twrp shows as random numbers and letters. I don't know why since when the phone was working normally I was protecting it by fingerprint and a password. And when I installed a stock ROM after it without wiping the internal storage. The storage is showing in negative and yes I can still boot into twrp

I know that but it seems incomplete. It did not mention what I ask recently. It is always a need for detailed story.

twrp's giving me that unable to mount or 0mb internal storage..

soo... i have a fully functional working samsung s7 rooted with the latest magisk and twrp recovery. after all the installation of apps and the root itself, i hopped into twrp recovery just to see if it was also working - turns out it's not reading any partition; leaving me with 0mb internal storage or unable to mount. i would also try rebooting but as soon as i enter "recovery" on twrp, it would automatically boot itself. i've tried researching for the problem but i don't think my research is good enough. i've looked out for multiple solutions, but i couldn't trust any. just wondering if any professionals on xda are able to fix this flaw. thanks!
tldr? working rooted s7, twrp recovery 0mb, automatically rebooting itself, couldn't find solution.
update: it's all gucci, i've managed to figure it out.

Have you tried the patched twrp version? There is a link in google camera port thread. I havent tried but that could work.

not a professional but coincidentally this happened to me today while rooting and installing twrp on my s7 sm-g930L 8.0, i installed twrp 1st and was just using a supersu.zip to root it, booted straight into twrp after flashing and had the same problem you have and couldnt install the zip as it wasnt showing up and also saying 0mb, i couldnt even send the zip to it from my computer either until i pressed format in the wipe menu next to advanced wipe button , it was in a bootloop so i hit format cause i was just gonna reinstall stock firmware but i noticed all the correct mb's appeared in system data etc and i could copy/paste n install the zip, flashed it rebooted and it all works, rooted and twrp on official fw 8.0, you might have to reinstall apps and stuff after but hopefully this helps, goodluck

INSTRUCTIONS BELOW WILL DESTROY ALL DATA ON PHONE GET BACKUPS IF YOU CAN'T IM NOT RESPONSIBLE
Get rid of encryption if you can then try
If you can't get rid of encryption or it didn't work then
Goto wipe and press format data
Type yes and press the tick at bottom left
Then once you see success or error messages go back to wipe
Swipe it to wipe internal memory
After success or error message shows you are most likely to be able to see and mount to internal storage.

Try using superman rom and use option called disable encryption that might work,
If you just wanna root then install magisk because it works with encryption

Need help regaining acess to internal storage without custom recovery on OP6

So today I flashed the official OOS rom downloaded from official OP website.
After I flashed it I tried to connect the phone to the PC to load magisk into it but the folder was empty and locked, meaning I cannot load anything into it.
To "help" the situation my TWRP custom recovery is gone. I only have acess the OP recovery I guess.
So I need help to change this bugged or corrupted ROM into a bugless one, but I have no clue on how to do it without internal storage acess and no custom recovery!
Thanks in advance

The only other ways i can think of are:
SDcard
Download Mode which is this case is fastboot, you could flash a new recovery\rom with that AFAIK and did.

Correct. I later found out that I could flash a new ROM by fastboot. I think it complety wiped my encripted partition and fixed it.

Download a ROM, put it on a USB drive, use an adapter to convert USB to microUSB or USBC(whichever your device uses), connect the USB to your device, boot into TWRP, choose the Install option, when you get to where you choose your files, find the USB drive and flash your ROM.

Hi
Thanks for the suggestion.
I just want to know something.
I transferred the rom zip file to my phone as u said and i can also see it in internal storage.Am also able to flash it
The whole story is like i first unlocked my bootloader and then installed the custom recovery...I have heard thatto install a custom rom, u require root
But in the case i did not perform any root.So is it ok to flash the rom+it shows failed to clear cache and failed to mount /product errors highlighted in red colour.
Pls advice <3

No, root is not required to flash a ROM, all that is required is an unlocked bootloader and a custom recovery.
I suggest you start over by flashing the exact same stock firmware version that you had before modified the device to fix the errors, then unlock the bootloader again(if flashing the firmware locks the bootloader again), then flash TWRP again, download your ROM and place it in your internal storage, flash the ROM but do not wipe anything until after you have flashed the ROM, after flashing the ROM, factory reset the device and wipe cache and dalvik cache(but not system and not internal storage) then reboot the device.
