I'm using TWRP recovery and decided to take a nandroid backup but to my surprise I found it doesn't detect data and/or internal storage partition. I then flashed another recovery but the problem remains there. Now after searching for this fix the result end up with formatting the partitions. Is there any other way to fix this before I take the highway?
Just came to know it's a recovery problem and another recovery called Orange Fox can fix this issue. Let's see.
tried orange fox recovery but still same prob do you find another solution ?
Try this,

Had the same thing occuring with treble recovery. It seems that the password is the same as the one u input after u had installed a ROM. Maybe if you had kept a pin/password for your ROM, keep the same one in the recovery. It shows up as decrypting and allows you to enter the Recovery.

*figured it out myself. Data format in teamwin recovery did the trick
Hi Guys,
After trying to fix my i9300 that was having radom freezes with Fstrim and the Dummy File Generator my phone died.
It doesn't boot past the sgs3 logo, but i am still able to boot recovery. I recovery i can see that /data cannot be mounted. Does that mean that my internal memory is now completely broken?
with regards,
Joost

I think he means he formatted is data partition with Twrp recovery (you can do this with any recovery)....Basicly a factory reset which wipes your data partition (so if you don't want to lose anything back it up).

That is indeed what I meant. The weird thing was that I was not able to do a factory reset and was not able to mount the data partition. Only going into your recovery and selecting format -> data partition worked. I can add that the phone is also not experiencing any of the freezes I experienced prior to this incident.
Maybe someone can help me here. Using TWRP 2.8.0.1 I am unable to fully install any rom.
I had slimkat on my phone and decided I wanted to try regular CM 11. So I wiped everything in advanced wipe so I could start fresh.
Put the Rom and Gapps on my phone then tried to flash.
However while installing CM, it just goes about its business until the progress bar hangs at updating partition details.
It also appears I cannot move files to the internal memory from the sd card.
Are my partitions messed up?
All that happens now is getting stuck at the samsung boot logo or rebooting into TWRP...
Any help?

Yes partitions could be mixed up but my first port of call would be to return to stock with odin and if that boots and works then start again and don't use twrp try PhilZ recovery.
If partitions are corrupt there are things you can try but I would first try to get your phone to boot then report back.

Thanks for your help! Because of you I tried PhilZ, which then told me it couldn't successfully open/read the rom from the SD card. (Something twrp didn't tell me).
I then changed my SD card for another one I had laying around and it worked. (Strange the old one failed since I formatted it atleast a few times)
Once again, thanks for your tip!
This is now solved!
Hi, im stuck in a boot loop. i can only boot into recovery (TWRP)
I'm trying to reflash my rom and I'm unable to mount my efs partition..
there is many solution on how to fix this, but all of them involve flashing something to the phone via the data pins... which is my other issue
the data pins on my S3 are damaged so I can not flash anything to it!..
anyone know of a way I can fix this???
EDIT: i think i solved it, i realized i had backed up the EFS in one of the TWRP backups on my SD.. it restored and i was able to flash my rom without errors.
thanks

Since you have got it sorted I suggest you go and get the micro usb fixed.
So, where to start.. I just got my redmi note 5 to test all sorts of things on, and my first goal was to successfully unlock it, install TWRP, and root through Magisk.
For this, I've used the 'Flashing TWRP on Redmi 5 Plus (and Root)' guide on the miui blog (can't post the link, unfortunately.)
I unfortunately keep running into a strange problem, which I'm going to explain briefly, because this is the second time that it happened, and I have no idea what to do, to be completely honest.
So, I successfully unlocked my redmi 5 plus, enabled USB debugging, installed ADB Fastboot on my PC, and went on to flash TWRP 3.3.0.0. This worked, the recovery image was properly read, although I could only boot it from fastboot into recovery, by holding the button combination. When trying to reboot after flashing, going into recovery from the system via the console on my pc put me in the normal MIUI recovery. So, I had to flash TWRP again, and do it the way I described. I forgot to mention, but I also copied both Magisk and no-verity to the root folder of my internal storage before installing TWRP, but, when going into TWRP to install, I could not find those zip files.
The internal storage showed as 0MB, and I read that you're supposed to wipe the data, with TWRP, which did in fact let me see the amount of MB on my internal storage, but unfortunately it did not let me find those files either. The sad part is, now my phone is stuck on a bootloop, again, and I can only run either recovery or fastboot, the latter of which I'm going to use to flash stock recovery and do a factory reset, once again.
At this point I'm lost as to what I should do, I'm following the advice from many different sources, and nothing seems to work. Maybe I'm missing something obvious, but being the noob I am, I cannot figure it out .
Give it a shot by trying orange fox recovery
Also I might be wrong but I think there is a fix for 0mb problem
Try OrangeFox Recovery, for me its better than twrp. Internal storage is 0mb because its encrypted, OragneFox can decrypt that partition and make it accessible.
Good luck!

Thanks for the advice! I did try one last thing by just installing magisk on my phone normally, and.. well, it actually worked! I don't have a custom recovery, but I was able to root the phone without any issue, so I think this will suffice for now? In the future though, I'll keep the OrangeFox Recovery in mind.

Nice to see that your problem has been solved! You can thank by hitting "Thanks!" button
Flash twrp
Format data
Then flash twrp in twrp
Flash no variety
Reboot to recovery..
Now you will have your twrp permanently installed as recovery
Now do whatever u like with twrp
TWRP recovery used to ask for a password to decrypt/mount my storage.
I flashed a new image to update the recovery and wiped my data too as I wanted to flash another rom,
but now when I'm opening the recovery with my password, it shows "Wrong Password"
and I can't mount storage and that's why I can't flash another rom.
Please help.

Did you do data partition format? Not only wipe, format is needed
Hello, to delete the encrypted partition if you don't know the password, you have to format it, but if you don't want to lose something of what there is, install Orangefox recovery, the same thing happened to me and this recovery mounts the partition even if it is encrypted. ...
Mine's worst, despite the efforts of wiping and formatting I still can't install a rom due to unable to mount storage problem. I hope anyone help me, this will speed up my nonstop search for a fix -_-

Dear i am facing the same problem. This is what happens when we install a rom without logging out our passwords and accounts from the device. The Lockscreen password is the one which encrypts the storage. And when we try to flash another rom without decrypting our storage on the first hand.. It stucks.... TWRP will never be able to decrypt it. The only one solution which i have in my mind is to relock the bootloader through Stock Rom and then unlocking the bootloader might have the chances to resolve the issue. Just thinking to do so.......... Its an idea rather........

I see but for some reasons I can't flash the exactly same firmware stock rom, it always says corrupted file, I dunno what will I do now, I tried every versions of my phone's stock roms all with the same error corrupted file. I'm using orange fox recovery cause I can't seem to find a compatible TWRP since I updated to latest firmware, by the way my phone is RMX2061_11_C23. I tried using adb sideload but with no luck. I'm still stuck...
