TWRP 0MB Internal Storage? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey so I followed a guide here on installing TWRP, but I can't flash(?) the SuperSU zip file because TWRP always shows 0MB internal storage, I have wiped my data and restarted my phone so I can put in SuperSU zip again, but again, TWRP shows 0MB internal storage, I have also tried adding a password and it won't work.
I seem to have hit a roadblock, any help? Thanks.
I am using Samsung Galaxy J7 (2016) on 6.0.2 and flashed the latest TWRP using Odin.

Sounds like your Internal Storage is encrypted. - Try decrypt it...[emoji1303]

I don't have this device but, your best bet is to post this question within the following Official TWRP thread for your device.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3437659
There's various threads with members experiencing the same issue as well.
Good Luck!

And how am I supposed to do that? Sorry I just can't find the setting
Whenever I want to flash something I have to wipe my data first.

Unable to find Custom ROM Zip

I'm looking for a little assistance trying to flash the girlfriends mobile with a new custom ROM - cyanogenmod to be exact!
I was recommend the following kernel (PhilZ) in order to go ahead and install new ROM. Anyway, I managed to get the CWM interface up in order for me to locate and install the .zip file stored on the SD Card. Now this is where the trouble lies. For one reason or another, I'm unable to locate the exact location of the files. I've tried looking in almost all the locations specified using PhilZ with no luck at all
Can anyone see if I'm doing anything wrong? If so, can you please help me out since she needs her phone back up and running asap.
Thanks everyone! Your help is always much appreciated :good:
PhilZ is a stock based kernel. I see no benefit in flashing it before flashing CM. But it shouldn't be a problem since CM comes with its own kernel which will replace your PhilZ. Again: PhilZ is not compatible with CM because it's for Samsung ROMs only.
Look for folders called "storage" or "sdcard". Should be there somewhere :b

MWD59 stock system, boot, and recovery (newest firmware as of 06/22/16)

Hello,
After much time and effort I was able to restore my watch to stock to get the newest OTA. Here is everything for those of you who have TWRP and are rooted, so you don't have to bother restoring to stock just to re-root and replace the recovery!
https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B1My3ELWb01vM29HbTZvQ3ZaTU0
Thanks to other users and posts who helped point me in the right direction to get this. Pulling the stock recovery was the hardest part for a n00b like me!!

I also don't know how to update the system using your images. I know how to sideload and I also have twrp working. Never flashed an img to a wearable so if you don't mind explain how to would be great.

You flash the stock recovery using fastboot.
Fastboot flash recovery /location/of/stock_recovery.img
This isn't necessary unless you want stock recovery flashed or to be able to take future official OTAs directly from Google/asus
The system and boot are in twrpon backup format. Make a small backup on your watch of the cache partition, just so the twrp backuo folder gets created (which is unique to your device). Then adb push the folder you downloaded from this thread (with the build number and date I backed it up, not the parent folder that contains the stock recovery) to /sdcard/TWRP/<your_serial_number>/
Then, on your watch, use to to restore the system and boot. Wipe the cache on your watch and restart. You will not be updated without have to factory reset/wiping data partition.
If you try to flash stock recovery and get error BC your bootloader is locked. You will have to wipe data partition when you unlock bootloader by issuing command
fastboot oem unlock
Please let me know if you have any other questions

Download the files, place them in the TWRP/Backups/(RandomHASH) directory using the directory name he has in his Drive folder, remount System RW (that one threw me off for a few), then run a TWRP restore. You don't have to sideload anything, since TWRP will let you see the watch as a drive (at least under WIN7, haven't tried anything else).

I'm glad you were able to pull this.
I woke up this morning to find my watch sitting in TWRP because it had tried to update. I just flashed this, and so far, so good.
Fair warning to everyone: TWRP will restore the boot in the recovery, even if you tell it not to(TWRP bug?)! If you use a different kernel just reflash it after you restore this backup.
do i just put everything on a folder named 2016-06-22--20-06-49_mwd59 and then just flash via twrp?

You have to make a twrp backup just so a backup folder with your unique hash has been created (just backup cache partition to do this). Then push the 2016-06-22--20-06-49_mwd59 folder into /sdcard/TWRP//
(You'll see a similarly named folder in that directory from the backup you did yourself)
Then use the restore function of twrp to restore the system and boot from the backup folder you got from this thread.
Then wipe your cache partition and you should be good to go!

I can confirm that this steps are working:
Backup anything from TWRP (just to create the folder).
Inside the newly created folder (sdcard/TWRP/BACKUP/XXXXXXXXXXXXX --> XXXXXXX folder is one created by TWRP ) place the folder from Drive (the folder itself, no need to change the name).
Then from TWRP perform a Restore and select the one with the name from Drive.
Also note that I lose root, and dunno how to recover it. With this update UI is way faster and connects to BT and WIFI better too.

You'll have to reflash SuperSU wear BC its overwritten when your restore the boot partition. Busybox will also have to be reinstalled if you need it BC that is overwritten when you restore the system partition

I forgot to restore boot, now my battery life is being sucked dry! I'm guessing it's stock recovery, though, even though I unticked that option. Someone in here said it was a bug in TWRP. So I guess I could just fastboot flash twrp, then push the zip and flash it?

Mokiee NIGHTLY Rom - Update file Corrupted Error...

Hello
I installed MK71.2-le_x2-201710060929-NIGHTLY rom to my Le Max 2 phone.
Clock is not opening and zoom option is not working on camera. I have 2 bugs but these are not imported for me right now.
I saw a update notification on my phone at Saturday night and I downloaded it. But I can not install this update package (MK71.2-le_x2-201710070930-NIGHTLY.zip - 647MB)
I saw second update information next day. But I can not install second update package again (MK71.2-le_x2-201710081057-NIGHTLY.zip - 647MB)
Phone is restarting and "File Corrupted" error appears.
Should I install whole package (647MB) ?
I want to install only updates and corrections.
How can I do this process?
I tried in Recovery mode or Fastboot mode but I failed. I got always "File Corrupted" error.
Please help me about this problem

Maybe you changed some system files. Anyway just download the rom from official website and try to flash it after wiping the dalvik and cache. Also if that still doesnt then do a clean flash by wiping data, system and cache. This should solve your problem

Dont wipe internal storage, clean install means wipe everything except storage and usb option. Yes you will lose your apps, but all the other files like pics, videos and music will stay. If that is also a problem for you then download es file manager, open it you will see apps option. Click on apps then select all your apps and then you will see a backup option, choose the backup option. All of your apps' apk files will be created in your storage which will be inside the folder named backups. So free your mind and do it. Its better to lose some data rather than having a problematic device. Best of luck, i wish clean install solves your previous problems with mokee

Ota updates are about just installing the changes, not the whole rom again. Usually, custom roms are updated through a dirty flash where you don't wipe data. But if you start getting stuff corrupted or not working properly, a clean flash in recommended. It should be just this time when you need to use titanium backup. I think you can make a zip with all the apps and just flash it. Tho always have a backup of your rom

Should I copy to the root and flash from TWRP this file.

Yeah you're right. You were also talking about some 600+ MB zip files. You can download them from their site and install through twrp. Anytime you install something it's recommended that you wipe Cache and Dalvik cache. You won't lose anything if you wipe just this. Just remember to make a backup

Help, my Letv max2 x821's part of the storage is blocked after installing custom rom

I tried to install a custom ROM from XDA forum and my phone got bricked, then I unbricked my phone and after that I installed a bunch of ROM one after another and I don't know at which point but my phone is only showing only 9 GB available out of 32 GB but there is nothing in the storage
I think you have to format the data partition before re-installing a rom. This should re-establish the full storage.

Heyyo, format data in TWRP like this.
Please note you will need a PC to transfer your ROM and Gapps back onto the device as it does format the data partition in its entirety.
https://i1.wp.com/www.99mediasector.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/twrp-format-data-min.jpg
You can either try regular usb MTP file transfer or if that doesn't work?
Adb push nameofthefile.zip /sdcard
Which will put the file into the root sdcard folder. Then from there flash.
I had to do this on my x829 otherwise I only had about 30GB of data storage instead of 54GB which I achieved after format data and copying ROM and Gapps from my pc

Could be a matter of permission

Do not know this rom but from rather old date could be a non isorec kernel.
In this case you have to flash an isorec kernel and the allready flashed isorec twrp should turn up.

I think it doen't make sense to unstall a isorec for android 5.1 ?!
2.) No. It was a matter of format. The TeslaRom (or maybe 5.1 generell?) can't read exFat. With Fat no problems.

Hi
I think there was some problems with your posts.
Got e-mail notification but could not see the post.
Anyway good to hear you solved the problem with sd card/format.
And no, you do not need isorec for your present rom.
But when upgrading to nougat roms you really need it for 2 reasons:
Otherwise you will not have a working recovery
and
you can easily increase system and data partition (is a must for nougat) by using the isorec twrp to do this.
Regards!

Does anyone have any method that recognizes the sdcard without changing from exfat to fat?
Exfat for me is important because it offers higher transfer rate
@arnab or someone who knows could give me support so that this rom recognizes exfat?
