Hey everyone!
In the process of rooting my Nokia 7.2 (TA-1178) and installing the excellent Evolution ROM, the partition table seems to be incorrect. The phone is reporting only 16GB of total space. Moreover, I wasn't as successful as I would have liked to have been in getting TWRP installed - the phone does boot into the Daredevil recovery system, but when I had TWRP on there, it would load, but not accept touch commands.
I can't seem to find an app that does partition resizing, and the adb commands I saw seemed a bit daunting. I don't have any data on the phone I care about yet, so if I need to do a reinstall, that's fine.
Thank you for the assist!

Somehow I managed to really mess something up.
The other day my TWRP was working just fine, I was doing some fiddling and backing up and everything was working fine.
Then I encrypted my device.
Now TWRP cannot mount /data or any internal storage and talks about being unable to find /TWRP/.twrp
I've been reading a few threads where other people have been able to fix this but none of them seem to apply or work in this situation.
If anyone has a stock 4.4.3 ATT Desire 610 kernel, rom, and especially a stock recovery I would be forever grateful. I've tried reinstalling different versions of TWRP using fastboot/adb which didn't help. I've tried to advance wipe the data partition, which didn't work. The only thing I haven't done is format because I haven't got an OS to replace it yet. I tried to use the TWRP repair disk function on /data, that too did not work. I'm not sure what else I can try.
HTC says they cannot send me those things and that the only thing I can do is send them my phone for 10 days.
Right now it will still boot into stock 4.4.3 and everything works but I cannot initiate a factory reset from there as it simply calls open TWRP and I'm back to the same problem.
Please if anyone has any advice, I'm all ears. I'm comfortable with the terminal and am a linux guy so I can understand various different aspects of the Android operating system.
Thanks in advance for the help here, I'm really in a bind.
I own an i9500 (Galaxy S IV). Recently, it dropped. I was lucky enough to install RomSwitcher (a multi-boot app) on it before, so I could still access an Android version.
However, in order to fix the problem, I decided to format the whole device. That didn't work out, and now I'm always stuck on bootloader screen( if it boots at all) and data partitions give I/O errors in recovery.
Now I would be glad if I could install another ROM on my sdcard, probably that'll have to go via RomSwitcher(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2417600). I would be glad if someone could send me the kernel and recovery images.
Kind Regards,

p.s. Logcats give the issue of Constantly being in wakelock because of the GPS.

I am having a problem that I am hoping someone can help me figure out. It is almost a problem I have found several people have, but my situation does not match any of the solutions that work for others with similar issues. Here it is:
I have two tablets, both are Nextbook Ares 8 tablets but one has android 5.0 and the other has 5.1 on it. I wanted to put android 5.1 on both, so I looked it up and found vampirefo's guide to rooting and putting twrp on the 5.0 tablets and figured I would start there to get to where I could put 5.1 on it. Problem is, I put TWRP on both tablets and neither one can mount the data partition so I can't get anywhere with it. I screwed up the 5.0 with a borked 5.1 but I cannot restore it because I can't put my backup on it where twrp can see it.
I, of course, looked up the issue of not being able to load /data and found several solutions. The only thing that sort of works is to format data through twrp on the data partition. This makes it so that while in twrp I can mount the partition, but since I cannot access it to put things on it while the tablet is in TWRP I cannot put the backup on the partition while the tablet can mount the partition. If I reboot the tablet in order to put data on it(or even reboot the tablet straight from TWRP after a reformat and mount to TWRP again) I am no longer able to mount the partition until I again format it(which wipes out any data I have put on it). This is not related to having data on the partition, it is not related to having booted to another mode or connected to any device, and this is not related to anything I have done because the only thing I did after getting the tablets was boot them all up and check the OS version and that the tablets were both the same model number and then I rebooted to bootloader and flashed TWRP on and booted to that. The 5.1 tab has the same issue with not mounting /data, but I am most concerned with it on the 5.0 tablet.
Both tablets are model NXA8QC116
One came with 5.1 on it stock, the other 5.0
TWRP I flashed to both was 2.8.6.0 from vampirefo's post here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/and...overy-t3133165
The tablets both see the data partition when booted normally, but not when in TWRP. That's all the information I know to provide, if anyone can help me figure this out I would appreciate being able to learn why and how this is an issue for me specifically in addition to just solving the problem. After all, I cannot find anyone else having this issue with Ares 8 tablets...they all seem to have no issue with this TWRP being put on this tablet.
Is there a TWRP for the honor 9 that actually works? I've tried the ones you can find in this forum, they all force me to wipe data because of encryption, yet if I reboot, it gets encrypted again. So I bought an SD card against my I initial intend just to get error 255 while backing up.. I'd really like to get some advice (and really hope this subforum is the right one)

after trying every Version of TWRP I could find, the following did it for me (of course it was the last one I tried...)
STF_EMUI5.1_TWRP V2 with Dual Recovery Support (Stock and TWRP)
It only worked well installed via the app on my rooted phone though.
If this thread redundant feel free to delete it, I hope this helps if anybody faces similar issues though.
I´ve tried to find any specific info on the subject for this phone but found none.
Maybe someone can help.
All was good on my phone when using Havoc custom rom. Yesterday I tested an android 11 custom rom on the device but decided to go back to 10. Orange Fox recovery restore gets stuck in the boot process. When using TWRP it can´t acess Data partition, so I´m unable to make any backups of data partition with it.
I´ve tried two diferent versions of either, and on TWRP after formating data the partition is once again acessible, but as soon as I flash a custom rom (tried two diferent one´s), boot to it and then reboot to recovery the Data partition is once again unacessible (encrypted) showing "0 MB".
Orange Fox recovery allows to access the data partition and so allows for backups to be created, but the restore process always ends up suck at boot (odly enough when enabling MTP on Orange Fox and connecting the phone to my Windows 10 machine two internal storage partitions appear in Explorer along side the SDCard one - all with the same content exactly). Something weird is going on here.
I´ve tried the steps on this post regarding DM verify (I do not know if it has got something to do with it) but it did not work (the fstab file already shows decryption on its entries):
[Deprecated] Universal DM-Verity, ForceEncrypt, Disk Quota Disabler [11/2/2020]
Hi all! For the past couple of months, I've been looking into making a more universal solution to disable dm-verity and forceencrypt. Needing to take different zips, modify them for different devices, and then cross your fingers when you switch...

Has anyone had similar problems or knows what might be going on on my device?
Is the internal flash memory going bad maybe? I´m at a dead end here.
Apreciate any idea.
Thank you.
