Ok so I messed it up and I need some help on this ASAP, Please.
So I was running the Latest MIUIPro 8.3.8 on my Redmi Note 4 (mido). Then for some stupidreasons, I decided to switch to the oldest ROM my phone came with, MIUI 8.1.10.0. (I have a habit of switching between ROMs every other day). So I put the zip file on my storage and went to flash it. Though I had flashed that same firmware few more times in the past and nothing as such had happened but this time I think I ran out of luck. After it flashed, it seems it replaced my recovery which was latest TWRP and rebooted abruptly (After the flash was over). On the first attempt, it was stuck on MI logo, then I manually rebooted it. This time it shows me "Encryption Unsuccessful". For some reason, it was encrypting the phone and no, I had no encryption on my phone. Just a simple pattern lock.
I do not want to lose my data, so I didnt pressed the 'Erase' button. Since I was now on the stock recovery, I flashed TWRP again. I thought I could extract my data from recovery but TWRP is also asking for encryption password. (Which I didnt had 'cause I never set it). I skipped it and went into the recovery but now TWRP could not mount any partitions. It shows all the partition as 0 MB in size. Even my Internal Storage (/data) partition. (Which I'm trying to save and dont wanna lose at any cost.)
However, after little research I found a default password for TWRP as "default_password" (Without quotes). After I enter it, it shows as storage mounted to "/dev/block/dm-0" But still I cannot find my files in the Internal storage. Even MTP shows no files. I can't mount /dev/block/dm-0 to /data as it says resource busy.
Can someone please help me?? I dont want to lose my data, is there any way to preserve it and decrypt it? Any help will save my life and the million dollar data on my phone.
Can't help yourself
see i am new here and i dont have much of the knowledge to solve your problem but i have face this 0mb internal storage but truth is we can do nothin you have to hit up the nearest service centre and tell them truth that how you ****ed this **** up in first place and tell them to get you back to your stock rom and they will eventually get your phone back runnin but the simple truth is that you now no where gonna get your data back :good:
Change your recovery to orangefox and then flash e stock android rom.now backup your all data then erase device and flash miui pro

Hi all
Dad's I9300 (international) started making problems booting up a week ago (sometimes it did and sometimes it didn't for a few hours). Begged him to bring it in for me to backup. Of course he didn't and today the device refused to boot permanently. It simply gets stuck on the logo screen.
When boot into recovery I got lots of E: failed to mount /cache. After wiping the cache and rebooting into recovery I now get only E: failed to mount /system (see attached image).
Download mode also seems to be working.
Device is 4.1.2 with stock ROM and stock recovery.
The main concern here is to recover all personal data. After that, I don't care if the device gets bricked. I searched the web and came up with two possible solutions:
1) Reflashing the same stock ROM I flashed a while ago (hoping that what I have stored on my PC is what is actually flashed on the device.....), and not wiping the data. As I understand, flashing a stock ROM without wiping data shouldn't cause the device not to boot.
2) Flash PhilZ Touch 6 Recovery using Odin and use Aroma file browsing to copy internal memory files (pics, mp3, WhatsApp data, etc.) to an external SD and then start messing around with the phone. (as described here)
What's my best option here? It sounds to me that the second one is better, but I'm not familiar with flashing a recovery and possible consequences.
Can someone kindly advise? I'll greatly appreciate any word of wisdom...
Solved.
Hey guys.
So last night I was trying to update the rom on my Nexus 9 from a 5.02 release of AICP to the latest one. I boot into TWRP and it asks me for my pass code, then I take a backup, clear the caches and try to install the rom (from the internal storage). I don't think it gave any error messages, but when I rebooted and it got to the screen where you enter the password (I'm guessing where it decrypts or something), it said something about an internal error and that I should contact the manufacturer - when I tried to put the password in it just says that settings crashed over and over.
I tried to restore the backup; as well as factory reset and install the new rom fresh; I keep getting /vendor mount issues, etc. I even tried deleting the system partition and installing the new one, still no dice.
So I'm basically dead in the water at the moment (with no OS at all haha), does anyone have experience with this or any ideas for what to do? All ideas appreciated and thanks in advance.
There may be other ways, but I would suggest booting into bootloader and fastboot flash the stock 5.1.1, factory image. Tutorial here > http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-9/general/guide-how-to-unlock-bootloader-flash-t3035153
Hey all,
I've got a N7105 (Galaxy Note II LTE) running CM12.1 and TWRP which I was planning to change shortly as it's old and the USB port has issues (charges but doesn't pass data; luckily it has a microsd slot). As it happens, the other day I left it discharge fully and turning it back on left it stuck at Samsung logo (not boot animation, the splash screen before it) forever.
I am: not a noob, I've rooted and flashed plenty of devices before.
I tried: removing battery for a while, charging fully, removing microsd and sim, clearing Cache and Dalvik. Nothing works.
I can: get into ODIN mode (but it's useless as USB data is not working); get into TWRP recovery; explore the Data partition in TWRP
I cannot: mount the System partition in TWRP, not even manually. It just does not let me select it, and gives an error whenever it needs to access it (e.g. if I try to backup it is says Error: unable to mount System)
I want: if possible to solve the issue without formatting Data. I had a TB backup but kinda old, so I got a Nandroid of Data and Boot out from TWRP and I suppose I could then recover stuff extracting from Nandroid through TB, but I've never done it and would rather be able to get a fresh TB backup and move on from there.
A few questions I have: any idea on why I am not able to mount System in TWRP? Could it help to reflash Boot or System, and if so how do I go to do that considering what I have is the whole CM rom package? (I remember being able to fastboot flash single partitions on Nexus devices but that's because the stock rom comes packaged in separate images).
Any input would be greatly appreciated!

The note 2 has this issue that makes it unable to be recognized by PC, so this isn't your phone problem, the only way to solve it is replacing the usb socket in your phone, anyway i can recommend dirty flashing your rom first, just flash the rom in recovery and wipe cache and Dalvik cache only then reboot.
If that didn't work, I'm afraid you might have to...... clear data ?

Thanks for the input, I was thinking something along those lines but I wasn't totally sure, I always avoided dirty flashing as I heard of people having issues. Happily, it worked! Weirdest think I saw in a while, it gave me a bunch of errors with System partition (unable to mount, unmount, find), then it gave a "proceeding to patch system partition unconditionally", then it completed. The whole thing took less than 20secs so I do not think it even actually flashed the ROM. Now I am just getting some Play Services error, likely need to reinstall gapps, but phone boots just fine!
Hi,
My current problems are: my internal storage is completely deleted somehow and when I try to start the device it's bootlooping.
What happened before that was:
1. I was in MIUI 10 globe rom and had the regular TWRP (before treble thing I think)
2. I installed orangefox recovery so I could install a treble RR rom.
3. I backed up my MIUI rom and installed the RR rom without problems
4. Then I wanted to go back to MIUI rom
5. First I installed normal TWRP img into my recovery, because I couldn't recover the MIUI rom in orangefox (couldn't find the file)
6. Then I tried to recover the MIUI rom, but I didn't factory reset before i recovered. I thought that would happen anyway if i recovered a rom. But my recovery file didn't include bootloader and firmware. I had 2 recovery files in my internal storage. One of everything except the bootloader and firmware and the other recovery file was of the bootloader and firmware (i forgot to include them the first time i backed up)
7. So anyway, I recovered the first file and everytrhing was fine, but then immediately i also recovered the second file (the bootloader and firmware only). But the second file failed to recover.
8. I tried to boot the device, but it bootlooped at the MI globe image, then went back to MI logo, then mi globe image, etc. And finally it goes back to TWRP automatically.
9. Went back to recovery to see what's wrong. First I did a normal factory reset (only system, cache and dalvik, no internal storage) so I could install the RR rom I still had in my storage
10. Suddenly I see NOTHING in my internal storage in TWRP. Shows 0 gb.
So can anyone tell me what went wrong??? I never touched the 'format internal storage/data' thing in TWRP, but somehow it deleted it??? Wth happened?
And more importantly, what do I do now? Do I treat this as a bootloop or a bricked device? I know I have to use ADB and stuff to reset the device, right? Or Do I have to do something else?
Anyway, thanks in advance!
Edit: wait, i formatted /data now in TWRP and it booted into MIUI 10 after but with internal storage gone now of course. But I'd still like to know what went wrong.
Hi
A couple of months ago i decided to change my battery because it was draining for nothing, before that i tried to downgrade to miui 9 and 10, and it didn't change anything, so i thought that the battery was the problem.
But even after changing the battery, i still had this drain issue, so i thought " Miui 11 and kernel?" , so i downgraded again, flashed the optimusdrunk kernel and nothing !
So this morning i decided to tried another rom, the pixel experience, i didn't wanted to do that in the first place because i wanted to keep features such as native call recorder or screen recorder. But i've rather loose thoses features if that can help with my battery issues.
I follow the steps of this tutorial : https://forum.xda-developers.com/poco-f1/development/rom-pixel-experience-t3967593
And after i wiped dalvik, cache, system, data in TWRP, flashed the rom then factory reset, the rom was succesfully installed, i booted the phone, google logo appeared quite fast, then gave me this " Enable Encryption, please wait a while blablabla" , so i wait, at least 15min , so i figured something was wrong right?
So i rebooted the phone after flashing the twrp recovery again (it always dissapeared when i flash a rom i don't know why..), boot into TWRP and i wanted to see if i did something wrong, but i realized that my sd card didn't show up, and all of my roms was not there anymore , and TWRP says that there is no space available (0mb) (because of the factory reset), so i plug my phone into my computer, but i can't transfer anything to it!!
Now i'm stuck with a phone with no system, and no ability to transfer a simple zip file to flash another rom/firmware
Is there any other way to transfer files or flash a rom with adb command ?
Does that have to do with the encyption thing ?
Cheers
