Try removing the existing device unlock PIN/password and restart TWRP. If that doesn't work, set a PIN based password and reboot TWRP. It will ask for password and then all folders should be visible in TWRP

[q] oneplus one urgent!!!! Help

Hello.
during this evening i wanted to flash my ONEPLUS One and to do this i downloaded a new ROM (BlissPop) as well as rooted my phone (unlock bootloader, installed TWRP and root the phone). Then i put the Rom.zip on a folder in the SD card (internal). I boot the phone into recovery and then i make a factory reset, wipe cache and dalvick and when i search for the zip to flash it i couldn´t find it anywere. So now i receive the message that i dont have any OS in my phone. I still have the bootloader unlock and i stil have access to recovery i only don't know how i put the zip file in sdcard (internal) because my computer dont recognise my phone when i connect it.
Could you help me to resolve this problem? it´s very urgent because i dont have phone now.
Thanks in advance

Looks like you wipe your internal storage accidentally. Do you have MTP enabled in the Mount menu in TWRP?

Yes i have.
When I touch in the middle button in TWRP Navbar I could see the following information:
Updating partition details...
...done
Full SELinux support is present.
MTP Enabled
However the mount appears not working because when i touch in Disable MTP button i could see the same message.
I already try ADB sideload too but it fails.
Its quite strange because when I access the Wipe Menu, i have the following message:
" Factory Reset
Wipes data, Cache, and Dalvick (not including internal storage)"
then i have two buttons 1- Advanced Wipe and 2- Format Data
I touch the second. In the sdcard partition i still have the TWRP folder but whe don´t see the other folders. I have in the same partition a folder named ROMs where i put my new ROM but it dont appear to me.
many thanks man for your help.

Right now it's probably best just to use fastboot to flash the stock images to get your phone booting again. Go to section 8 of my guide:

you´re the one. Thanks a lot man my OPO is booting again .
I realise that I were very nooby here because TWRP has a slide button that says wipe for factory reset. I should to touch in this button regard the Format data button, its my fault and a very lack of attention. Fortunately there are guys like you.
Once agais, thaks a lot.

Great news. When wiping, it's probably safer to go into the Mount menu in TWRP, then select Advanced Wipe, and then you can select exactly which partitions you want to wipe.

Only one more thing. What is the folder that i should use to put my Rooms for flash? Now I´m a little afraid that when i perform a full wipe i dont see the folder with the rooms again. So what is you suggestion?
Thanks a lot once again.

It doesn't really matter where you put them, I have a dedicated folder for ROMs so they're easy for me to find. But as long as you use the Advanced Wipe menu and only select system, data, cache, and dalvik cache (not internal storage) you'll be fine.

Disable encryption protection?

Hi Guys
Im having trouble flashing new Roms to my S7. When I enter TWRP recovery, it shows my device as 0MB and it doesnt picK up any files. I looked into this and read that Encryption should be disabled on the handset. I followed instructions to do this and noticed that there is no option for Encryption Protection. Its not there!
I disabled any passwords and Pin numbers to erase decryption and it still didnt work!
last resort was to try a factory reset and the device restarted to recovery and failed as TWRP recovery cant find any mounted devices due to the encryption crap.
Any help appreciated.

Hi mate
Seems like you did not format your data partition during TWRP installation.........
Try flashing your custom rom from the External SD card......your data partition has all your app , files , passwords, photos...there is still a chance that there it may be a incompatibility issue between your apps and the new rom....that is why they recommend a factory reset when flashing a new custom rom

Hi
TWRP can not handle Samsung encryption . if you wish to use TWRP and have access to the Data partition ( internal SD card) you need to format it so the encryption is disabled ( you lose all your apps , data and user configuration AKA factory reset) , you can have TWRP and data encryption but mods and roms have to be flashed from external memories also you will not have available MTP in recovery or factory reset from it.
There is no way to disable data encryption without format data.....
Ok, I got a friends SD card and placed the Rom on there. I can now see the Rom but the trouble is, TWRP wont let me wipe Dalvik / data / system / cache as it wont mount the storage....
can I still apply the ROM?
Unable to restart your device. The integrity verification has failed. You need to reset your device to factory default settings. This will erase all of your data.

That is why I point it out " factory reset is recommended when flashing custom rom" if you wish to flash a custom rom you will have to format your data partition and flash the data verify file........

I have tried to format/wipe data. TWRP keeps saying it failed as it cant mount the storage.
I tried flashing the stock rom via odin and it also failed as it goes to recovery to wipe data and it fails again as it cant mount storage.

How did you flash the stock rom...which files did you use?
Wipe data is not enough you have to Wipe / FORMAT DATA and type yes....
1 To get rid of encryption, go to "wipe", format data (TWRP) (keyboard will pop up) then type "yes" and format it, then reboot to recovery
2. After flashing this, hit wipe, full wipe (this will clean all internal memory and your data will be lost
3 you can test if encryption is still enabled, if TWRP shows error about not mounting data your phone is still encrypted

MiNote3 Unable to mount data

Basically I screw up last night, trying to flash a file that was not supposed to work on minote 3, android 7.
After some tries(flashing pixel experience and appearing the encrypted phone), I was able to flash miuiPro 8.9.20.
The phone works perfectly, but I have some errors, that I need some help:
-when I go to twrp, there is 0 zips in folder, I' can't find them anywhere
-basically when I try to flash magisk, it appears Installation failed
-I can't repair data, error: failed to mount /data
Thanks for all the help I receive.
Try mounting /data manually or format data.

Internal storage won't decrypt

So guys yesterday I flashed miui fastboot rom through TWRP recovery. It went successfully but the problem is now I can't decrypt my internal storage. I wiped it several times but after reboot it gets encrypted again. Idk what to do now! I'm stuck with encrypted internal storage.

I've done that several times already. After reboot it gets encrypted again. When I reboot into Twrp recovery it ask for a password to decrypt data.

When you're asked for Password press "Cancel"
Are you sure you've read right, not just wipe Partitions but Format it (the right Button)
It may be that MIUI encrypts Data again while reboot, do you have a MIUI Account activated on your Device? Maybe you first need to deactivate this.
Also, when asked for Password and cancelled that, are you able to mount i.e. System and/or install something like Magisk?
Format Data before flashing custom ROM always works, I never tried that in the other Direction.

Yes I'm sure I've format data by typing "yes". It shows the internal storage RIGHT AFTER formatting data but after a reboot it doesn't show internal storage.
Miui account is activated in my device.
It shows internal storage as 0MB & I can't access it.
I can't take a backup but I did manage to flash Aroma bloatware removal zip.
I never flashed Custom Rom. I flashed the official MIUI fastboot rom.

Okay, just booted mine into Recovery and internal Storage is there. I'm using latest Xiaomi.eu weekly with no Mi Account set up (don't need it right now)
I'm using the TWRP from this Thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/re...guide-how-to-root-install-twrp-redmi-t3867146
Sorry, that's all I can tell you :/
Can you restore only DATA from TWRP backup after Decrypting internal storage? Or it'll decrypt storage again?

I'm already on stable rom 10.2 with pitch-black recovery.
Sorry, I have started so many attempts that I do not remember what was successful. Now I have at least 'PitchBlack' and StableRom 10.2 ... on the run, backups via PitchBlack are also possible, so I can describe the internal memory, in the recovery mode, the internal memory is not displayed 0

Ok, I'm trying to describe my path again:

- I wipe data, cache and dalvik
- I format the data partition
- I restart in the recovery status

- I wipe data, cache and dalvik
- I flash Magisk 18
I start the device, and do not restore, but a new device.
I hope it will help.

0 mb in TWRP internal storage

I searched for an answer and noticed it's a common issue. I am trying to flash a kernel on to my already flashed rom. I was wondering if there is a more current fix. More importantly, how can this be avoided in the future. Thank you guys!
Its caused by a bug/error with either the filesystem or encryption.
Did you wipe data after flashing the new ROM? Data from stock usually doesn't work with custom ROMs.
Do you have a PIN/password on Android?
Are you using the latest build of TWRP?
Press the menu button at the bottom of the screen in TWRP and post what the error message is in the red text.
It's caused by no root access

Something is probably wrong with the data partition. TWRP should always have root access.
Try in TWRP:
Wipe > Format Data > Slide to format
This will erase the data partition, so backup everything to a PC in Android first if needed. It should allow TWRP to mount /data again.

I've debated on doing this. I'm not worried about losing pictures texts etc as they're backed up.
I read that it essentially leaves the device with no OS. If that's wrong please let me know!
I have found that if I choose Slot A and reboot system it reboots me in to TWRP. If I choose Slot B it runs the OS like normal (except I still have issues using Facebook and it's services).
The ROM works and I can perform all the custom mods on it. I just want to flash a kernel and the problem persists. 0 mb in storage.
It's trial and error at this point. Fail fast fail forward. I have another phone I can use but I love the OnePlus. Any help will be appreciated!

I'm not willing to risk it until I know how to get the custom ROM on to the storage to flash it.
Yes formating by typing in yes will wipe it all,everything including pictures, with no rom on it at all. If u choose to do that, don't close twrp. Instead you should be able mount after wards, once mounted transfer the magisk zip, twrp, and your custom rom(has to be 1.5gb not 200mb through magisk). Flash magesik, install ram disk twrp, install rom. That was a method I've done before but if u want to keep everything there is other way
fastboot boot twrp.img, that command boots twrp if u have it or don't, installing to ram disk makes it permant...this boot command is just a one time thing each time. It's what I do when new firmware update, I loose root but I regain it each time
Never heard of formating data removing the OS, that would be if you wipe the system and normal wipe is like a factory data reset and therefore will not wipe your phone of the OS

I attempted to format. It said
"failed to mount /data (device or resource busy)
"unable to mount storage"
Try this in recovery, sometimes its known to work.
Wipe > Advanced Wipe > Check Data and press Repair or Change File System > Change File System > Change it to EXT2.
Repeat the same process selecting Ext4
Wipe > Advanced Wipe > Check Data and press Repair or Change File System > Change File System > Change it to back to EXT4.
Try formatting data after this.

Since you dont care about the data on the phone I would just do 1 of 2 things. 1st I would reflash twrp on to you phone if that doesn't work then I would just grab the fastboot ROM and just flash your phone back to full stock reroot and install twrp from scratch. I would not try to start repairing partitions. I wouldn't want to worry about screwing up the EFS partition
Well in an update, I formatted the
Storage and now I'm stuck in bootloader screen. It's unlocked but I'm having a hard time flashing a ROM through adb.
I use the twrp version 3.3.1-2
Best would be to just use fast command to boot it
But it should be under wipe/format data/then type in yes
That was what I was trying to have you avoid. If your can boot to fastboot download the fastboot ROM I told you to and run the flash-all.bat file. If your on 9.5.8 make sure you use the fastboot ROM of the same version. Do not flash azip of a different version firmware like 9.5.7.
It happens to me any time I'm in twrp and flash a rom then reflash twrp. It doesn't matter if I flash Magisk or not the issue always happens. What I do is use a USB C flash drive and plug it in when I want to flash/backup a rom. This way I can always access it. After flashing any rom then booting I'm always able to access my internal storage again. It seems like a bug in twrp.
The strange part is when this bug happens your files are encrypted in a 0 folder but you can still copy from your PC to your internal storage while in twrp.
I essentially soft bricked my device. Called OnePlus and they got me up and running. That's awesome that they have that service!
Are you removing all security? Pattern, pin and fingerprints? Are you decrypted? Never had an issue with flashing a ROM causing these issues which is why I'm asking. Something you've done at some point is causing this
I'm not sure what that was. Ironically enough I am now stuck in TWRP boot loop. Hopefully I can figure this out otherwise I have to call oneplus again.
I will admit I may not know everything but it's trial and error. I don't have anyone to really teach me this so I try to read the forums and learn. You guys have been great!
