Hello. I would like to install a different custom rom. I know I should erase device in the recovery, but from what I remember, that erases the internal sd storage as well. Is there any work around? coming from one custom rom and I want to install a different custom rom. I also remember having a hard time to install this custom rom since a full erase erased the rom I had in the storage so I had nothing to install. I cant remember how I got it on the storage again to flash the device, since accessing the internal memory from the recovery was impossible.
Hi @liquidzorch, use ADB side load method to copy your rom to device from recovery and flash the rom. dont wipe internal storage next time

I read that after using rooting Odin method, the rom is place in internal memory (internal sdcard) of the android phone, while in superone click the rom is place in external SD card.
I'm kinda confuse which one is the correct placement for flashing rom?
It's always best to place it in the internal memory of your phone, no matter how you root it. c:
Anything you want to flash via clockworkmod recovery, place it in your internal memory.

some users recommend me to wipe data and format system before flashing a new rom.
if i place my new rom in the internal memory, wouldnt that delete the rom file?

Wipe data/factory reset is recommended.
It only wipes the actual android OS information, not your internal memory.
Hi All,
For some reason I am unable to format sd card. I still able to flash roms via recovery and odin but internal storage remains the same. Any Ideas>

huh?
Dude be more descriptive, how are you trying to format, how is it not letting you, what does it say?
when installing new rom, i try doing full wipe and it says cant mount external storage then skips the format part. Same with odin, usually when i flash a stock rom with odin it always wipes storage but it doesnt no more. Not causing problems at moment, just thought it may cause potential problems when flashing roms in future

if you are using custom recovery, go in to mount & storage then format the sdcard.
This is what I am getting
Can't mount /dev/block/mmcb1k1p1
I believe when we do a full wipe/ factory reset, not everything will be deleted, there must be somewhere not wiped. For example, to store the recovery.
So where it is? Can I place my custom rom there so I can flash it without computers using CWM or TWRP? My device is nexus 5 and it doesn't have external memory card slot.
I tried to place it at the very beginning path when you open your device from the windows explorer. I guess it'son 'sdcard' and it got wiped.
Hi XDA,
I used to try out every new ROMs out there and today I just did the same. I downloaded and installed Dot OS and now the device's internal storage is not accessible. When I try to wipe the data it says unable to mount storage.
Nothing is found on the file manager.
I can't download anything from the internet since there is no internal storage available.
But it is available from Red Wolf a recovery mode. I can see all the files from the recovery but not able to see or access it from the file manager.
please help. Now I can't install new ROM since I can't download new one.
I haven't tried factory reset yet. Please help me if I can do something on the device or inside the recovery.
please help
Wipe everything through Recovery EXCEPT internal storage. Then there are three things you can do:
1. Try flashing any ROM you have saved in your internal storage.
2. If you have saved some ROMs on your PC (good habit), you can flash one using Adb side load.
3. Download a ROM using someone else's phone and use either a microSD or USB-OTG to flash it.
Found any fix for this issue
Because I'm also facing same problem
security
Flash any custom rom before remove all password (fp, pattern, pin, etc)
This is just an encryption problem you have to decrpt your phone. If your phone is encrypted your twrp will ask your password to decrpt and you have to remove password or pattern from twrp go-to youtube and search for how to remove pattern or password from twrp watch vj mehta's video and do it and enjoy but all file in internal storage will deleted so you must copy everything before you doing this ok
Hello guys,
i wanted to use a custom rom, so i unlocked the bootloader and installed a custom rom (i could access the internal memory from windows while in recovery). Now i wanted to use another rom, so i boot in orange fox, do format data, wipe and reboot to recovery. But now, i cant access the internal storage anymore. Windows explorer shows me the device, but i cant acess it. I have the global version Redmi Note 9 pro. I tried pitch black recovery as well as Mauronofrio's TWRP. I also tried to flash the Stock Rom from https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com with the official mi flash tool and followed this instruction (https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/unable-to-decrypt-fbe-device.4206579/page-3#post-84370443). But then again, i could not access the internal storage from windows and the moved files from step 4 where not there anymore.
When i boot to the original stock rom, run all the setup and stuff and then boot again to recovery, i am able to access the internal storage. but then again, after format data i cant access it anymore and cant copy any custom rom on the phone. What to do?
Use adb sideload to install the ROM directly from your PC.
Not all recoveries support it though.
LineageOS recovery does so that's the reason why I use it.

Just few alternate method without adb/PC:
1. Use an sdcard to store roms, recovery backups...
2. Few days ago forget to copy the rom to sdcard (and already formatted the data), used an otg cable and installed the rom from usb-stick without any problem.
3. Flash the rom from internal storage, format data and boot to system.
Always use latest recovery (now ofox 11.0.1).
