Hello,
I just wiped my phone including data and installed the latest TWRP on my Le max 2. Now it won't mount anymore so I have no way of putting the new OS on the phone...
Can someone help me fix this problem please?
A little bit more info will help; is the phone still recognised by your computer? Can you still launch TWRP on the phone?
If it is fully bricked this info will help: https://www.gizmochina.com/2016/11/20/leeco-x820-max-2-super-unbrick-guide/
Or this one https://forum.xda-developers.com/le-max-2/how-to/guide-hard-brick-fix-qualcomm-hs-usb-t3492949. Both explain how to use the flash tool to recover (I had a hard time to get the drivers on Windows to work).
If you still can launch TWRP, copy the .zip file on the phone with 'adb' -for example on /SDCARD. And instruct TWRP to install the new ROM.

Ps: main issue is I don't know what you mean with 'not mounting. You mean you don't see the phone as a drive on the computer? Or you don't see the partitions mounted on TWRP?
For me it's not clear what's exactly your problem.
The last time I tried installing the TWRP's last version, it didn't work. It seems to be smaller than the previous one, which works smoothly. Maybe it might be your case.
Edit:
In case you simply can't find the phone when connected, there's a command to transfer files and install them using adb fastboot.

I would also try the "Format data" option under "Wipe". That solved my "cannot mount" issue.
Today, i had the same error
"Can't mount /system"
For me helped in TWRP, under erase -repair partition (to ext3).
After that I could install a new image.
Heyyo, is it giving you encryption errors?
By wiping data did you mean format data or only wiped data?

The smaller TWRP has nothing to do with it working or not. The old 50MB ones are actually bloated and with what I'm not sure. Look at other devices such as the OnePlus 3 which hover around 20MB like the latest TWRP-3.2.1-0 does for x2.
I'd also recommend the latest test version if you're trying an Oreo ROM or having decryption issues as in my testing it successfully decrypts EUI ROM 19s Indian partitions same with custom ROMs.

Just got the phone today, and right away I rooted it and loaded the Google Play Edition ROM. Everything went smoothly. Then I decided to move the backup I made of the stock ROM to my computer because it is so huge and just keep a Google backup on the device. So I deleted the files in the folder /TWRP/BACKUPS/8e0b378a/1969-12-31--19-11-41. But when I then went to try to backup my Google it kept failing. I tried deleting folders, and then later adding everything back, but nothing helped. It looks like the problems are:
E: Storage partition "//TWRP/backups/8e0b378a' not found
Updating partition details…
E: Unable to locate storage device.
So... now what? Other than the user error, things are going great!
Assuming the backup of your stock rom is still intact and now on your computer I would try flashing a new recovery like clockwork mod, clockwork mod touch are just re flash your team win recovery and and try to backup your current google rom again through your recovery "nandroid" hope it works for ya.

May also be a sd card issue? Try removing in re installing your sd card. I am pretty sure the default save location for backups are in the internal. Memory but it might help...

Success! It turns out I didn't try replacing the entire TWRP folder with the one I had copied to my computer. That's a relief.
Cool!
I'm having this problem too, now. It looks like if I delete any backup by hand (not with the TWRP interface), TWRP will no longer backup or restore? Crazy! Is my recent backup garbage, just because TWRP refuses to install it?
I had this issue too. here's my current back up path /storage/extSdCard/TWRP/BACKUPS/94937798/"name of your backup". I deleted the numbered part just to have shorter file path but it didn't work. So then i Deleted everything but the main TWRP folder and my Backup of course. then used TWRP to make a nandroid backup and doing that restored the correct full file path. Maybe try it and then place your old nandroid backup in the folder.
Twrp/backup/######/your nandroid backup.
Also your old backup does it display the file path it used to belong to? If so remake that path of folders in the TWRP folder

I just read your post again.
Try moving your backup on external SD. Not in a folder then try to restore using Twrp you have find your backup location and select it and try checking the skip md5 verification. Make a nandroid backup 1st just to be safe

I just got the same error today. I tried to make a backup with TWRP 2.6.0.0 on my Nexus 4 and it couldn't locate the storage device, even though I had other backups already that I could see! So I flashed TWRP to 2.5.0.0 and could back things up again!
Is this a bug with TWRP 2.6.0.0 ?

I just had the same problems after upgrading from 2.5 to 2.6. Can't make a backup "E: Unable to locate storage device.". Can't see backups (list is just empty, but "E: Storage partition "//TWRP/BACKUPS/HT25ZW308588' not found" is in the console). I downgraded to 2.5 and everything started working again.

TWRP 2.6 is a bit buggy - there is some evidence that installing HyperDrive Rom with 2.6 will bootloop the device, whereas 2.5.0.2 will not. I'd steer clear of 2.6.

Installed hyperdrive with 2.6 TWRP with out any problem. I will say from using a TWRP recovery on a different device that it does not like having the back up path altered

Does anyone know what the /sdcard/TWRP/.twrps file is for? Is it general settings that I can safely delete? (without affecting my ability to restore ?)
I had this problem too, I deleted entire folder /sdcard/TWRP/ and then it works again. I think you just need to delete the .twrps file, this is the config file of twrp.
Why aren't we using CWM? ^_^
Thanks

I had the same problem, and this solved it. It does seem your assumption is correct. I just deleted the.twrps file and it started working again.

Sorted.
TWRP Recovery works well. The other day I noticed that on the list of backups I was missing my initial "clean sense rom w/ root" that I made the day I installed custom recovery. I had made 3 other backups and they had vanished. I figured they were accidently deleted. I backed up my device twice within two days. I went to manage my back ups and noticed that my two recent backups were missing and the 3 original backups were on the restore list. I also notice that my storage was low. I had 15 gigs used up. I don't have much media on my phone so I assume its the phantom backups. The TWRP file only has 3 backups on it. those 3 files do not add up to 15 gbs. I can only surmise that I have 6 or so back ups on my phone and only 3 are showing up.
My questions: (1) Does TWRP backup to another folder other than the TWRP file? 2) Can I delete all of them and start all over again?
Thank you for all of your help.
TWRP Not Recognizing Nandroid Backups
Sorry for my characterization of the problem. Essentially TWRP is not recognizing past Nandroid backups. These past nandroid backups are taking up needed space. I downloaded ROM Toolkit and found that I have 7 nandroid back ups, but the TWRP folder only shows 3. Where are these nandroids located on my device? How can I delete them?
Thank you

I'm sorry to hijack your thread but I have the same dilemma. I made a new backup today and I can't find the files. I browse the phone using ES browser but nothing. I copied my original backups to my computer. In TWRP recovery, I see the two files that I created today. What is the actual process of restoring my phone without copying today backup. Please any suggestion will be gladly appreciated.
Thank you.

I checked under the path you recommended but the recent files are not there. I see the old backup only. I can see the files under the Recovery>twrp>restore.

Nevermind, I found the solution. The problem is that the ES file explorer does not have root access to /data folder. I enable root access in ES file and there was the following folder: /data/media/twrp.
Hello guys, long time lurker, first time poster.
After my phone (gt i9100) drained out its battery, it got stuck in a bootloop.
Normally I think I would have to factory reset or flash the same rom again (SlimBean 4.3) and that would take care of the issue.
This time around, however I need to restore some information from the machine before tampering with flashing in any way.
I have not attempted flashing anything in the last couple of months, which is why the bootloop is kinda weird.
Would any of you guys be able to suggest anything?
EDIT 1: I've managed to extract the recovery image made by CWM, from the internal storage. Need to research whether I'd be able to restore information from it using Titanium Backup or a similar app.
The device boots into recovery / download mode no problem.
I have made 2 backups from CWM, though they're both on the internal storage, as the device has a problem mounting/ writing the backup onto the external SD card.
1. Can I export the backup in some way, to be able to flash a new rom and then restore the data?
2. Would flashing a different kernel help? If so, I'm not sure which kernel would be prefered for the SlimBean 4.3 rom.
3. Would flashing the rom once again get rid of my data (I suspect it would, though I don't have much experience with this)
I will be very grateful for you guys' feedback.
Thank you very much for any help.
@Sahagin
Two things you could do.
1. In recovery, go to mounts and storage and mount usb storage. From here you can connect to your pc and copy whatever files you need over to the pc.
2. Try flashing just the rom .zip and rebooting. This will not touch your data partition, where all your app data, pictures, saved files are.
To add to the above, Titanium Backup can extract some of the data from nandroid backups......it just depends what you want to recover.....

I am mainly interested in restoring text messages and some unsynchronized google keep data.
I have purchased and installed the Pro version of Titanium Backup which has this functionality. Tested in an emulator, seems to work for google keep, however not so much for the text messages themselves.
Gonna fiddle around with it for a couple more hours, if it doesn't work I guess it's my fault for not keeping a backup. Had to learn that the hard way.

Hi guys, i have a big Problem.
I have googled it and searchedd some threads, but I found nothing...
I was running cm13 on my honor 5x and made use of the "adoptable storage" Feature. Well, it worked great.... then I dirty flashed VANIR cm13 via Flashr tool by chainfire (without wiping data!) - and you guessed it: I can't Access my sd Card anymore... all photos, Music and Videos are gone.
Is there ANY way to recover the data? Via pc, Android, Linux, or whatever?
I've read there is an 128bit encryption, so this might be a Problem
Thank you!
Have you tried https://www.piriform.com/recuva ?
yeah man, I have already tried with the "deep Screen" Option.... 0 files found @ my 29gb sd Card.... Windows doesn't even recognize it.
does windows make a noise when plugged in, or ANYTHING to show its in?

If updating to TWRP 3.0.2 doesn´t work, just backup to sd card and then copy the folder to PC. It´s not ideal but might work.
