My device is on miui v6.6.2.0 global stable.I wanted to root it,so gave twrp recovery a go.I installed & booted into twrp,but I am unable to reach the next step(install the 'super su' zip file located on the phone storage) because the phone storage is not listed there.As a corrective measure I wiped the 'dalvik cache',but after that, the play store app is missing, & I don't know how to recover it. If anyone could help, it would be great.
Also I would like to know if there is a way to revert back to the stock recovery from the twrp.

I've got a 2013 tablet that I upgraded twrp to latest version 2.8.2 from 2.7.0 using Twrp manager app. It upgraded all right but now it can't see my sdcard from within recovery and I can't even factory reset. It says it will reset not when I reboot it just boots like normal. Obviously my sdcard is still there when I reboot into my system. But from within twrp recovery program it can't see it. Anyone have any suggestions on why that could be?
Thanks for any advice anyone might have ... I'm stumped.
Same problem for me. The sdcard is not mounts. Also I cant wipe cause TWRP can't wipe some partitions, like 'cache'. Think it's just a bug and we need to downgrade. Maybe the fix it in further updates.
Yeah I read that this is a probable bug in twrp 2.8.2 and to flash latest 2.8.2.2 instead. Problem is where can I place an image file that twrp is able to see? I can't even seem to MTP mount.
Actually I got it upgraded just using the twrp store app to install 2.8.2.2. The image Wagner available on the spot yet but there's another thread here where someone posted the zips for 2.8.2.2 so twrp app would recognize it for install.

Hi, I have a problem with OP5, I decided to install OOS 8.0 (Beta), I had OOS on 7.1.1 (Root) (TWRP), I made full wipe in TWRP and installed OOS 4.5.14 (7.1.1), after that i get Stock Recovery and Iupgraded OOS to 8.0 (According to the OnePlus manual) -> Bootloop. I decided to go back to 7.1.1 -> Error, I uploaded TWRP and another attempt to download 7.1.1 -> The system got up but I can not do anything because I have an error "Udecrypting the device. (Write to do "Factory reset"), so again to TWRP -> Full Wipe and here is interesting, I get my error "Wrong argument", the phone does not see my built in memory (I write that I have 0mb), what can I do in this situation? Anyone know?
ERROR in TWRP: "Unable to mount storage"
Please help me.
Go to recovery -wipe-advanced wipe-data-repair or change file system- change file system. First select EXT2 and after that EXT4 and now you should be able to use your storage but you need to flash new TWRP (try this one https://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/dl/?id=27442)

Thank you for that link. I was having another issue - the TWRP downloaded from the official site didn't work on the latest Oreo beta build and didn't overwrite the stock recovery and couldn't mount /data. This one did.
yeah im having major issues with mine, im now stuck in a download mode i cant get out of !
The first question is, you want to go Oreo or return nougat? In the first case, go to the dedicated thread, download the black TWRP and format data (if you can't read anything) reboot to TWRP again now copy the Oreo firmware and install it from the same recovery, reboot to recovery again if you don't have the stock one automatically installed, just flash it via TWRP. So once you're in stock recovery format EVERYTHING, reboot to system, and after you've configured the initial setup of your device if you want reboot to bootloader and reinstall the black TWRP and flash magisk 14.56 for root.. I've done this for getting this Oreo rom works
Exactly happened with me too. I even accidentally deleted all the contents of my storage. Tried to sideload via adb but got unknown device error. This thread worked for me
https://thedroidguru.com/how-to-unbrick-oneplus-5-phone-with-official-tool/
ive just restored the latest nougat firmware/radios and jumped back onto an aosp build until op5 gets official Oreo build
Guys this is help less.
After rooting my device I followed some instructions to get the Lineage 14. I flashed a BootLoader and a Modem as instructed and went forth to mount USB in order to transfer the custom rom into the device. But this is where the problem is.
It says E: Cant find partition to mount storage. I've tried to reboot, wide, data, storage, system and cache and repair the partition I don't know what else to do.
Anyone else can help? Btw I am fairly new to this stuff so please dumb it down for me.
Another thing, when I go to reboot my recovery it says my device isn't rooted and asks to install superSu, however it was rooted before I entered download mode and started installing bootloader and modem.
Now I have no operating system in the device so i can literally only use Recovery or download mode.
Is my device bricked? I don't know. :crying: :crying:

If you can boot recovery, all is not lost.
First, are you sure that you flashed the correct bootloader/modem for your s5 model (G900 T, P, V, F, etc? Odin should not let you flash the wrong one, but anything is possible.
If Bl/modem is correct, them the next thing is to get the custom rom onto the phone.
-make sure you have downloaded everything you need (rom, root method(pref Magisk), gapps if wanted)
- boot into recovery, I'm recommending and assuming that you are using the latest Twrp, if not, d/l official Twrp for your model, and flash that with Odin
-In twrp select wipe, format data, just in case.
-now you should be able to mount usb storage, using the option in twrp
- now you should be able to mount your phone to your PC and transfer the rom, put it somewhere easy to find on the phone. also copy gapps and Magisk zips
-now, still in twrp, select install, select rom zip, select add more, select Magisk zip, also flash gapps at this time if you want to use them.
-click the button to flash
-click wipe cache/dalvik
-click reboot
-pray ?

Hey man! Thank you so much for your reply. I installed CPE1 bootloader and modem driver, honestly I don't even know what they do. Was this a wrong thing to do?
I rooted my device using cf auto root, then flashed the bootloader and modem using Odin. After that I (stupidly) tried to boot my stock OS and it was stuck in a bootloop.
Unfortunately I won't be able to try your instructions this till tomorrow evening but I'll keep you posted!! do you mind if I pm?
Edit: I was using twrp 2.8.7 I believe, could this have been the problem? Also I updated twrp to latest and tried micro sd as storage and flashed a Rom but the phone is still bootlooping

Ok I see you have S5 plus. I'm not familiar with that device to know which baseband it should be.
One thing you might try is to boot recovery and clear cache/dalvik and then try booting the custom rom.
If all else fails, you might try Samfirm
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-s/general/tool-samfirm-samsung-firmware-t2988647
That should give you a stock firmware file to flash with odin.
You can pm if you need to, I don't own an S5+, nor am I a veteran flasher but I will try to help if I can.

Ive tried the suggestion you gave me, no success. However I honestly dont know if it could be my fault. I'm gonna flash the stock firmware and restart the whole root process.
Thanks for your help man!

Ok sorry I couldn't be more help
Oh, you don't need to use of cfautoroot anymore, you can just flash Magisk after the rom, and then use Magisk manager to manage all your root permissions.
So if you are going back to stock, I would:
-Flash stock in Odin
-probably boot stock once to verify (first boot takes long)
-odin flash latest twrp(uncheck auto-reboot, just battery pull after it says pass)
-power on phone with key combo to boot recovery
- format data
-flash rom/gapps?/Magisk
-wipe cache/dalvik
-reboot system (first boot will take long)
Hope you get your phone working again

Good News! Phone is back in full working order after flashing stock firmware. It was kinda scary though, I had to fix an error in Odin and then the phone wouldn't even boot up! Left it over night, booted it again and it worked fine Thanks a lot for your help, I'll try not to soft brick my device again
Hey there, I hope I'm right here.
I want to reboot Android to a custom IMG file that is saved on my internal storage - without PC. It's TWRP, to be more precise and I'd like to get back to stock recovery because I don't use twrp regularly.
Is that possible?
It's been a year already since I checked this sub and I am still using the TWRP that flickers and is chinese. Is there like an upgraded version for our device? Specifically for the non elite variant US version?
I think I might have screwed my phone because after I flashed a new rom(RR) my internal storage won't mount on recovery and when I connect it to pc. But I can see it in my phone when I'm on system(thank god) This is weird because I have not put any security lock on my phone before backing it up. So I am assuming that I need to update my TWRP to something latest to solve this issue, but I haven't been keeping up to this sub, i don't know if there's a newer compatible of TWRP.
And I also forgot why I did not went with the official one from TWRP. Maybe because it messes up the bootloader? or something like that, forgot since it's been a year already and I remember reading into a guide to use the chinese twrp.
[Solved]
If this happens to your device and you happen to use the chinese screen flicker fest TWRP, just go on and flash the latest official TWRP for our device. And you're going to be able to see your internal storage again.
you can either flash it ADB or from your recovery, but I flashed mine through TWRP

Stop reading out of date articles, and use the latest Twrp here: https://twrp.me/leeco/leecolepro3.html
The Chinese bootloader issue is no longer an issue
* So to be clear about you issue you cannot boot to recovery.
* You do see you phone when you connect it to the computer...Right?
* BTW, I also have an X727
Your issue is most likely due to corruption and encryption
Backup whatever data you can and then use the All in One ( "AIT " ) tool to remove encryption ( NOTE: this is going to erase your data.
Next Using AIT install Twrp and magisk 17.1 or the easier way to resolve this may be to temporarily go back to stock.
Option 1
Try flashing the latest Twrp and magisk 17.1, using either ADB or AIT
After flashing boot into TWRP recovery
1. Go to "Wipe" and then to "Advanced Wipe".
2. Mark "Dalvik / ART Cache", "System", "Data" and "Cache".
3. "Swipe to Wipe" and proceed back the main menu.
4. Go to "Install".
5. Select the ROM zip file and then press "Add more Zips" and select the Gapps zip file, and then the Magisk file.
6. "Swipe to confirm Flash" and wait for some time.
7. After the flashing is finished, just reboot to recovery, check boxes to keep Twrp installed
8. Boot to system go through setup.
Option 2
You could flash my Recovery which includes Twrp and Root. ( Instructions at Link Below)
Afterwards you will be able to update the Twrp, and Root, then Flash whatever you want.
Le Eco Pro 3 X727 Twrp Backup : Clean Full Stock X727 recovery EUI 5.8.21s
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=75021582
Option 3
Use All in One tool to restore my recovery, Flash a Stock Rom , or simply Flash TWRP/ROOT and then your Rom> Gapps> Magisk once again > Reboot to Recovery ( Check Boxes, for Twrp manager installation) Reboot to recovery > do not choose to make you drive read only! Clear Cache ( Not Dalvik) Reboot to system > Finished.
However, there is a faster way: @mauronofrio created a tool called: "TOOL ALL IN ONE"" and its great!
https://forum.xda-developers.com/and...ctory-t3358711
Its an excellent tool for keeping your drivers and adb up to date. Plus it will give ADB system wide privileges.
Mauronofrio's tool can also unencrypt your storage
After install the All in One Tool
Make sure to check for the AIT program for updates, to the tool itself and to ADB.
Next, click button to allow ADB privileges system wide.
Get more information here:*https://toolaio.tk**
XDA page for Le pro 3 : https://forum.xda-developers.com/le-...1#post71627491
* The all is one tool is excellent and you can use it to install everything you want.
* You can use it to unlock the bootloader.
* Remove Encryption
* Install TWRP,
* Install your Rom, Gapps and Magisk etc.
* The tool will also update your existing installation of ADB, Android Drivers, and provide system wide ADB privileges.
Of course use ADB or AIT once the phone is restored but you would be better off buying an OTG adapter and a USB 3.0 USB Flash drive. This way you can quickly make changes on the fly. I recommend buying at least 32GB usb 3.0 drive. Absolutely, the OTG adapter is the best method, because you will have all of your files available for quick installation and you can make numerous nandroid backups of your favorite rom installations. So If you get bored with one Rom, you can quickly restore another Rom in 5 to 10 minutes.
Again , if you do not use an OTG drive. Just use ADB or AIT for flashing your files, the steps are same as with any other phone.
Finally, look past any typos, I don't have time to proofread after spending so much time on a single post.
Thanks for the detailed response!
my issue was, I can go to recovery but it is not mounting my internal storage. It was showing as 0mb. I am aware that this is usually happens when you encrypt your device and back it up in the recovery and try to restore. But I never put any encryption on my device let alone it doesn't even ask me for a password when I am on the recovery. Anyway, I solved it by just flashing the latest official TWRP on our device. And I'm glad that I am finally away from the buggy chinese twrp.
I was just worried if there was any dangers on flashing the official latest twrp because I am seeing a lot of people getting bricked. So much for the halfassed allowing us to unlock our bootloader in this device by leeco.
Anyway, I really appreciate all that detailed guide. I will keep them in reference in the future.

That's great!
In the future
If you have an encryption issue again, and you have latest tarp and magisk.
Just format storage and reboot to recovery, then wipe and issue will be resolved.
