So I have a Asus Zenfone 3 Max 5.5 ZC553KL that has 32GB of storage. I decided to root it, I had to unlock bootloader, install Twrp t o flash SuperSU. Anyway, when flashing SuperSu, something went wrong, or I did something wrong when wiping data/factory reset, because the phone coudln't start the OS anymore, it only boot to fastboot or recovery.
So I ended up having to flash a new ROM. I wiped everything, I had to repair and format some partitions to fix Twrp errors. I flashed the new rom through adb fastboot. Then I found a more*recent Rom, and did it all again.
Right now I have a december 2017 Nougat with Magisk root. But I just noticed when connecting the phone to PC that it shows "Shared Internal Storage" of 6.40GB total space only... I checked on the phone, same thing:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
So I went and installed a diskinfo app:
Why is my Data folder so full? This is a fresh ROM...
I found a Quora thread saying that showing "shared internal storage" instead of Internal Storage is as TWRP bug, and to fix it, a user advised to get stock recovery and wipe data/factory reset, maybe it is related to my issue? ShouldI try to fix it that way?
Updated
Guys I eventually fixed that. It was a TWRP bug.
Now I have another problem. After flashing roms and updating the phone and root, I noticed that I have IMEI 0 Null and Unknown serial number... But even with a imei null I can make calls and send sms... is that normal? I thought imei null would prevent that. Also there seems to be very hard to fix this issue on this phone since it's not mediatek...

Hey people.
So I bricked my F600 smartphone today (chinese phone with quad core MTK6589). Was rooted a while back using some one click root, had SuperSU.
When I turn it on its stuck at the android screen, But I can get into recovery mode.
in recovery mode, when I press wipe data/factory reset - it gives everything as usual except the 3rd line: mount /system failed...
I can comunicate with phone trough adb
MTK droid Root& Tools shows almost nothing:

"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

I have (If I my russian is right) a CWM backup of a T600 smartphone(the same phone, only different name) in a zip file.
basiscally - can anyone tell me what to do, to unbrick the damn phone and maybe get TWRP or CWM on it.. - I have basically tried everything and Im out of thoughts.
It was easier with Windows Mobile phones
Ok - let me update myself:
got to install the CWM backup with SP Flashtool - now I have CWM, but I cant get to anything - when I insert sdcard it says it cant mount sdcard.It cant mount anything
when I mount the phone as usb storage to pc - the pc shows 2 removable disk with insert disk into removable...
any suggestions.
EDIT: changed sdcard and got some response - trying to install a rom
got the phone working.
Good after noon every one,
Please forgive me if Iam posting in wrong section. I bought lenova tab 2 10 70F -couple of days ago with Android kitkat. Iam a newbie in flasing ROMs and rooting.
Despite my friends advice to use ODIN to root, I used kingo app to root it and it was fine rooting by checked with check root app.
Then wanted to install TWRP recovery when flashing it with flashr app when rebooting the problem started like keeps on rebooting till the Lenovo logo name and the switching it off again and again like a cycle.
I can go to the recovery mode by pressing volume up and poer button though. I did wipe cache and factory reset but nothing works.
Still on loop. Since it is keep on rebooting not sure how to connect it to the computer and install the driver and worried because of constant reboot whether I can flash a new STOCK ROM( Ive downloaded it and kept in the computer).
I was thinking to flash this downloaded ROM into SD card and Ufla**** , but not sure whether things will get worse.
Attached is the pic of how my recovery page looks. Though in recovery mode it keeps on constantly and not rebooting.
Please advise.

Hi! I'm posting here because of the low grade (xda doesn't allow me to post in the developing section).
I was running Lineage OS (2018-01-02) when I got an update notification (version 2018-01-23).
I tapped on "Flash" and it automatically rebooted into recovery (twrp-3.2.1-0).
Something went wrong, so I had to manually select the zip file from the lineageos_update directory (/data/lineageos_update).
The flashing process ended without any errors, but when it automatically rebooted it couldn't load boot: it rebooted into recovery.
I manually selected "Reboot into system" from the main menu, but it booted into recovery again.
Then I decided to restore my previous complete nandroid backup (Fulmics Rom, Stock based) but I got a bootloop.
I tried to full wipe the device using LGUP Store (version 1.14.3) combined with Uppercut (version 1.0.0.0) and the proper DLL extracted by the KDZ using a tool called LGFirmwareExtract-1.2.6.1, but the REFURBISH option gives me that error:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
so that the only thing I've been able to do was choose the UPGRADE function in LGUP, but bootloop didn't solved and twrp recovery have been replaced with the stock one.
The KDZ files I tried to flash were:
H85020s_00_OPEN_EU_OP_1114.kdz
H85020a_00_OPEN_EU_OP_1030.kdz
H85010C_00_OPEN_EU_OP_0415.kdz
Can somebody please help me?
You already posted in the LOS thread, so why make a new one?
It may be that Lineage messed up your misc partition, think I've read about something like that before.
Yes and it has been answered in there a few times as well, the last time just yesterday: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=75324443&postcount=2881
Hi,
Maybe, this could help: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=71797169&postcount=2
I had the same problem with the stock ROM. My phone only booted to twrp.
I can not find a way to avoid errors in the flash process or wipe process, I attach some of the different errors that I get, the last image is the last error.

a bit of context and history of the things I did:
This is an Honor 8 FRD-AL00 from China, in 2017 I unlocked the bootloader, I rebrand the phone into its Europe version FRD-AL09, then I updated to Emu5, then in my first vacation on Europe (I am from Argentina), the phone ask me for an update. As I knew that I used an Europe ROM, full rebrand, I did not saw nothing nothing wrong with that (if I wanted an update on Argentina, I have to forced), so I accept the official update there.
Results: I bricked.
I buy a new phone there, I kinda forget over some years, now I want to fix it, but seem that it is quite hard.
First I had problems installing TWRP, the only way was using the Multi-Tool8 from @teammT flashing the TWRP 3.1.1 as Erecovery.
I tried to do flash a ROM from a similar year than my last correct update, fail using commands, fail using the tool, fail using an extra SD on dload, fail using TWRP.
I tried the same thing with the stock firmware for FRD-AL09 (the multi-tool8 always recognize the phone as FRD-AL09, until I made a full wipe with TWRP of cust, system, vendor, etc).
I tried to format system or other partitions as FAT and Ext4, but nothing happen.
The errors continue when I try to flash the ROM.
I even had a backup made with TWRP when the phone was working fine, I tried to restore that backup with TWRP and I receive error.
What can I do to save the phone?
This used to be possible on the previous update, but now the option is gone. This is what the formatting page looks like now:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
The following link was the old way of allowing the SD Card to be formatted as internal storage.
https://www.reddit.com/r/oneplus/comments/s6od0a
Doing this on OOS12 doesn't change anything in the settings as far as I'm aware of though. Is there anyway to do this or is my best bet to downgrade?
IF downgrading is the only option, I tried following the guide on this link: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...l-to-restore-your-device-to-oxygenos.4324431/,
but driver download link no longer works and the ones I found online resulted in a Code 52 error so I would need help with that too.
In the end I was able to successfully downgrade, but then a new problem showed up. The SD Card was working as intended for a few hours, but suddenly stopped. Now, even when it says it is formatted, it stays unsupported. Neither formatting as internal or external change this. Any idea why? Restarting the phone does not help.
Edit: Sorry for the extra post in the reply. I wasn't aware of an edit feature for the post.
More context, this happened as I was downloading some apps from google play. When I tried to open it, it just flashed and went back to the home screen and eventually resulted in a phone reboot.
Afterwards, I tried formatting on my PC with:
-Disk Manager (all options are greyed out except delete volume)
-Minitool (Says format successful, but doesn't change. Has 'other' as the format)
-AOMEI (Same problem as Minitool)
-SD Card Formatter (From the sandisk website: Says formatting failed)
Starting to think the SD Card is just dead. Can someone confirm? A simple yes or no is good enough.
