Accidentally wiped internal storage before installing a rom - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello, I was trying to install pixel experience on my Redmi Note 7 (lavender) but when it came time to wipe the stuff that I was required to wipe I chose all the boxes like an idiot. Now I can boot to recovery (I have orange fox) but when I install a rom it shows that it succeeds but it isnt actually installed. When I connected the phone to my pc I noticed that I have 49.2 free memory out of 49.8 in the internal storage.
I have reinstalled orange fox
I have used the "adb sideload" method to install a rom but it doesnt actually install it
Any help is appreciated

For anyone in the future looking for a solution for the same problem
I did these 2 things that appear to have fixed it:
Installed the official Xiaomi ROM for my phone
Installed the ROM that I wanted using orange fox AFTER having moved the zip file in the internal storage (the adb sideload method although it appeared to work fine it didn't actually do anything)

[q] help to run my phone

I have Samsung galaxy Y handset. I just rooted it for trying new ROM. I installed the zip file of klerks and also the custom ROMs cyanocream v3 and paranoid. I switched the phone to recovery mode and clicked 'apply the custom rom' option. And since it wasn't showing the wiping and the other formatting option, I clicked 'reboot' option. And from then the phone isn't running, I see only the Samsung logo it shows on switching. I tried everything, the recovery mode is also not running, took the battery out but still same problem. Can you please crack this problem? I need my phone!
I dont own this device so Im not sure what's the process (although im familiar with the whole galaxy family), but I do wonder, did you install custom recovery (like CWM)? Did you make a backup before applying the ROM?
Can you still access the recovery mode? Whenever i mess up an installation, i usually search for an stock rom and flash it via the external SD card.
Perhaps this might come helpful

i am still not able to run the custom rom.
I rooted my phone.
Opened up the CWM v5, and wiped-data,cache partition, format data, format cache, mounted all drives,---
went into advance to wipe dalvik cache and the other data.
Installed the custom rom by opening the zip file through install zip from sd.
I installed the custom rom (tried all, jellybean, cyanocream v3, paranoid, icecream).....
BUT EACH TIME EITHER IT STOPED WITH Samsung Galaxy Y logo screen OR at logo of cyanocream (when installing cyanocream).
SO I HAD TO FLASH MY PHONE EACH TIME WITH STOCK ROAM THROUGH ODIN. Then it works on its standard android.
I tried many times. Checked all steps. Checked all videoes.
I CANT MAKE OUT WHERE AM I MAKING MISTAKE EXACTLY ?????? Can any one please tell me the most accurate and effective correct method to do this successfully?

I don't own this phone too but my mother has . Did you flash the kernel for custom rom such as 'white xp kernel' for cynocream before flashing the rom? You can download it from the same post you download the rom and you can backup your stock rom in cwm so if anything happen you can boot to cwm and restore it back.

Try this if you are using CM based roms.
Go to CWM. Wipe data, wipe cache, go to mounts and storage mount all (except SD card) install kernel zip(not ROM zip, use kernel zip) go to advanced NEVER WIPE DALVIK CACHE AND BATTERY STATS WHEN INSTALLING ROM, reboot recocery, you will get mounting error. Ignore it. format all (except SD card). Install rom zip reboot. I have used this many times and no fail yet.
I own this device and if you have any problem feel free to ask.
If you want instructions for any ROM, reply here with Rom's link.

Accidentally formated sdcard currently in TWRP with no rom.

I am trying to install an AOSP rom and stuffed it up. Here's what I did so far. I normally format the internal sdcard when I flash a new daily driver but forgot I haven't put in an external sdcard.
I am currently now in TWRP with no OS. I want to turn the phone off and put in an exernal sdcard to flash a rom. I am just afraid if I turn it off now I won't be able to get back into recovery.
Just wanted to check if this is possible, otherwise I'll leave it on and attempt a sideload and flash a rom that way (still reading up on this if anyone is familiar would appreciate any advice.)
With Windroid
i) Flashed TWRP
ii) Installed SU
With TWRP
formatted dlavik cache etc etc and, very unfortunately, sdcard as well.
Where I am at with sideload
Trying to follow a tutorial (can't link)
Currently I am at the part where I am installing the sdk bundle to get the adb executable.
change to usb storage mode in twrp, and plug to your pc, copy rom to phone, unmount usb storage mode, flash the rom

Sweet much easier than I thought, what a time to be alive...
ROM currently installing, hope all is good.
Thanks again!
Edit: Also, is it weird that when I press reboot system in TWRP (after the ROM installed) nothing happens? It just stays there. This also happened when I installed SU, I had to take my battery out to reset it and SU was there when it booted back on.
I previously used CWM so a bit new to TWRP.

[Semi-fixed] Internal storage accidentally deleted after trying to restore backup rom

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.

Your first mistake was to flash a Treble ROM with a recovery which doesn't support Treble (Error 7, asks for a password and internal storage is empty).
Update your TWRP. OrangeFox recovery works fine. Just make sure you are using the latest version.
If you flash a custom ROM, just following the instructions:
Make the necessary wipes, format Data (format and not only wipe) and flash things in the correct order.
It's working for everyone else, so it will also work for you
u tell mi.

Redmi note & pro Stuck on TWRP Recovery

Need Help.
I tried to install a global rom version of a Redmi note 7 pro and the first time i installed it succeeded.
but during*the first boot, it was on the redmi logo for a while,*after it*restarted, it*went straight to twrp recovery.
when i check the internal storage, all i can see was a bunch folders with randon names.
the thing is i forgot to make a backup before installing the rom on twrp.
now i did a format data, installed the ROM again*and this time it just went straight into twrp.
when i checked the internal storage all i can see was the rom i tried to install
is there a way i could fix this? Thanks in advance
