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

I am a complete noob and got my lesson for messing up with my phone. I have an already rooted SGH i777 and was trying to flash OMNI Rom for 4.4. I wiped emmc by mistake. Although I did back my stuff up, they are no where to be found.I get cannot mount SD card error through CWM v6. I read somewhere that this is resultant of having no operating system in my phone anymore.
My phone is not recognised by computer. But I can access an external microSD card while booting recovery using CWM. Please help me as I am completely lost without my phone. You patience is deeply appreciated.

If that's the case, you should be able to put a rom on the micro SD card and simply flash it in recovery. You may have lost your backups, but if you can flash a rom via the SD card you ought to be fine.
Let us know if you need any more help,

I'm not clear what you mean by "I wiped EMMC." Can you please describe exactly what you did, and describe the options you used if it was through recovery, which I assume it would have been.
If you put the phone into download mode while Odin3 is open on the desktop, does Odin3 recognize the phone?
FYI: TWRP file browser sees internal memory as "emmc". From the advanced wipe menu of TWRP, exists the option to wipe internal memory.
edit: really annoyed that I am limited to eight thanks at a PC, which has a much more comfortable interface than the XDA app, where I have unlimited thanks to offer my peers.
This is what happened
Dear all,
Thank you for your help. This is what I did. I tried to install Omni ROM for 4.4. I I downloaded the .zip file for the ROM and Gapps package zip and SuperUser zip. I went to CWM based recovery mode and wiped data/factory reset and wipe cache partition and in advanced wipe dalvik cache.( I did not run any wipe script as mentioned in this forum. I would have avoided all this if i actually paid attention and read the correct way of flashing here.)
I then went on to mounts and storage and did format/cache , system, data and preload. But also format /emmc
After that no ROM could be flashed and I could not access any recoveries. I realised my error when I saw the log that No files are found and couldnt open directory.
Update :
My phone is not recognized by Odin v1.85 and I also put a SAMSUNG_UCLE5.zip for SGHi777 given by a friend on to a microSD card and tried flashing that ROM from external microSD.
The log says:
I:Can't partition unsafe device: /dev/block/mmcblk1p1
I tried to partition just to see if it works. This time the log says
I:Can't format unknown volume :/external_sd. I never had an external sd card, but I gather that the system was partitioned in such a way that one chunk is considered external_sd.
Odin doesnt recognise it in download mode. I tried every USB port, changed data cables, tried different drivers available on Samsung website.
Please tell me I didn't ruin my phone. Any help is deeply appreciated.

This is beyond my level of understanding. I'm not sure what block 1p1 is. All of the partitions are designated as 0px where x is a number 1-15~.
I assume you've tried all the variables to get Odin to recognize the phone in download mode. Since Odin doesn't recognize download mode, I don't know of anything else to do but send it to someone with jtag equipement. It'll cost you maybe 40 or 50 bucks, but at least you can get your phone back. The person most trusted in the forums here for this sort of repair is Josh at Mobile Tech Videos.
I've attempted to flash a newer version of cyanogenmod on my phone (10.1.3 to 11). I'm using TWRP 2.6.1.0
I can not boot because I've wiped the phone (dalvik, system, data, internal storage, cache), and I suspect the ROM I have is corrupted but I can't connect it to my computer and transfer the file via USB because I have no ROM installed and can not boot. I also can't take the SD card (since there's non) and put the file that way.
My phone is Oppo find 5
My root file flashing was successful, but installation of the ROM cm-11-20140204-NIGHTLY has failed. I assume the file was corrupted, but I have no way to find out what it is.
I now realize my mistakes, like wiping the system unnecessarily.
Is there any way to get another file on the device? any other suggestions?
Also, I'm not sure if this is the correct place to post this, but I was not able to find the right place. I apologize in advance.

Check that thread, set up adb and push a ROM to the internal sd of your phone via adb. You can use adb in recovery mode (I could in CWM, dont know about your recovry) so if you can boot into recovery, you can push the rom. (There is info on the thread about adb pushing/pulling)

Cwm has an option to mount storage to PC in mounts & storage menu
Check if twrp has the option
You can mount it that way:good:

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 tried to flash a custom Rom in my Samsung J5 prime J500H. I am new to this and I followed along with a few youtube video. After I installed TWRP recovery. I tried to install the custom ROM that I copied in my external SD card.
Firstly, I wiped all the data along with the system data too in the TWRP recovery and didn't realize it. Then I went to external storage to install the ROM but it was not there even though I didn't wipe the external storage.
Now after I reboot, my phone loops in the start screen only. I try to enter in the download mode but I can't get there as the boot screen again starts up and goes on a loop.
However, I can go into recovery mode.
I tried copying the custom ROM into my sd card from my computer but the sd card won't show that file whenever I go to install in TWRP recovery. It only shows the file which was already in it.
Basically, now my phone doesn't start up and only I can go to recovery mode where I can do nothing but just click the icons I see.
Please help me through this.

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).
