I tried all that. Won't work. Every time I start to system and go back to TWRP later, Data is not mounted anymore. I tried al lot. Always went back to TWRP right after, without bootin to system. At first, Data is mounted. But when I start to System, it seems to unmount Data again.
I flashed stock rom, went to TWRP right after, allowed modifications, flashed magisk, then rebooted, Data is mounted, booted to stock, reooted to TWRP, Mount is gone.

I used different DM-verities. Unmountable Data comes back in any case.
It helps to format Data or change file system and the change back. BUt after bootin to system, Data is unable to be mounted again.

Hi, did you find a working solution to have moutned data in twarp und magisk installed?
I am having the exact same issue. If anyone could shed some light on how to get magisk on this phone it would be very appreciated.
To all the people with the problem of TWRP losing /data mount after reboot:
I've had the exact same issue, didn't matter which version of TWRP I've been using or how often I've been trying to reformat/repair /data.. The solution was to use an modified recovery. One of these will do:
Orangefox: works well, the only thing that bugs me with R11.0 is that it won't remember the current time setting (it always boots with the time set to around 9 am)
Pitch Black Recovery: will mount data, nice styling, however it's still not perfectly adjusted to the a3 (first release). Progress bars & counters might overlap with other displayed items, flashlight won't work.
Skyhawk: The one that I'm currently using. Doesn't seem to have any apparent bugs and can be styled to ones liking.
All of these gave me access to the /data partition, hope they will work for y'all as well.

Thanks a lot.
Do these recoveries need all repartition for vendor support before flash them ?

I successfully rooted my Samsung Galaxy A320FL using the procedure linked below. I also managed to fix fingerprint feature and banking apps and to move whatsapp media folder to SD card.
Here is how I did:

I recently formatted my internal storage because I felt like I needed a clean wipe. After doing so, flashing anything and rebooting into it will make it hang on the Samsung logo. I flash everything through TWRP v2.5.0.2 and I never had problems until I formatted. Now to get anything to work, I have to "format data" through TWRP and flash after that in order to boot into anything (every single time). And even after booting into it, I can't flash anything (or even simply reboot) without having to see the stuck screen again. Any ideas? My phone is MDK.
You need to update TWRP. Latest is 2.6.3.1. Older twrp doesn't use the proper symlinks for the internal data partition that changed in 4.3.

Thanks! I think that worked
hello. i was going to install resurrection remix 6.0.1 rom on crater. i have installed lastest version from twrp official website on device list page. it was 2.8 as i remember.
i have moved files on sdcard and plugged to phone and wrote imei numbers on a notepad
EVERYTHING IS OK UNTIL HERE.
i rebooted to twrp. touched wipe and swiped to wipe
it was successfull. then i clicked format data, wrote yes and entered.
IT TOOK TOO LONG TIME.
i have forced to reboot by pulling put the battery
then i plugged it back, rebooted to recovery mode.
mounting of efs, preboot, system, dalvik, cache and data partitions were failed.
i tried to repair these partitions by formatting as fat, exfat, ext3 and ext4 filesystems. it didnt work.
i have downloaded orginal firmware from sammobile. when i try to flash it stucks on system image and there is an emmc version unknown warning
when i try to reboot to twrp, i see its logo. it stays for 1 min and screen goes to fully black.
THE THINGS WORK:
download mode. but doesnt flash system image, only recovery and pit file
THE THINGS DOESNT WORK BUT WEIRD:
can boot into twrp but it doesnt launch after twrp logo
I SERIOUSLY NEED HELP. THANKS for READING.
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.
So i installed Pixel E as said in the forum post and videos and it was working fine, TWRP was fine and installed with no problems, then i went back to MIUI for the L1 certificate update and decided that i wanna try oxygen OS
i install TWRP like i did the first time but this time i didnt get the menu that says swipe to allow modifications, after that i went and mounted vendor and system like i did the first time, and i went to wipe the data i didnt find the vendor option there, it was weird and i thought there`s something wrong with the phone
i go back to the install, i install the disable force encyption file and try to install the rom, i get the success thingy
i restart and it says encrypting your phone and i boots back to recovery
can anyone help with that please? i tried 4 different roms all are the same
and how can i show the vendor option again?
OxygenOS Comes With A Modified Vendor So When You Flashing OOS You Need To Flash DFE Due To Encryption Problem.
Decrypt Your Data By Formatting internal Storage.
Go To Wipe format Data Type Yes Reboot to system.
Just Allow that modification when you decrypt your phone and flashing a Rom that TWRP modification sign comes.
When you wipe data system , Vendor Partition will be Automatically Wiped.
Flash Orange Fox Recovery You Will Also Get that Vendor Partition.

That Sign Comes Only One Time.
Swipe To Allow Modification Means You will not getting any error while Flashing.
Check in Mount Partition System Keep Read Only If It's Enabled Simply Remove that Mark or Tick Reboot To System.
hey guys just looking for some help. ive been modding and flashing phones from 2014, but its always gone really smoothly, so my diagnostic ability is lacking.
it started with flashing twrp. my bootloader is unlocked, usb debugging on, device is showing in adb and fastboot, and i can flash twrp without any issues. hoowever when i go to boot twrp, only the stock recovery boots. i tried to flash twrp using the XiaoMiTool v2, but the same thing happened. i eventually got around this by just booting twrp instead of trying to flash it. so i got in, took a full back-up and started installing a custom rom.
the first one i tried was ParanoidAndroid Quartz. i wiped cache, dalvik and storage then transferred it to my phone, tried to flash and got "zip verification failed". so i turn off zip verification and tried again. it flashed perfectly with zero errors. however, when i reboot the phone it would only boot to stock recovery and not twrp (expected) or the new rom. i tried that a few times, then tried LineageOS, and MSM Xtended 10. all of them had the same issue, the flashed without a hitch, then wouldnt boot.
i also tried flashing a new fw-vendor and it just straight up failed. Then i decided to cut my losses and restore my twrp backup, and that came back with the error, "extractTarFork() process ended with error: 255"
Software before i began these attempts was completely stock, so i dont know what is going wrong, but as of now, my phone is bricked, i cant install a new rom or restore my back-up.
any help is appreciated guys. thanks
You can figure out this problem with
1 Copy backup folder to computer
2- Format Data - Yes , Wipe Everything
3- Install ROM that you have installed before and boot
4- Go to TWRP, format data yes reboot recovery
5- Paste backup folder to internal storage and restore
