Hey all, for whatever reason my TWRP wont read my internal SD. I also get a a lot of red flags while flashing, yet things seem to flash fine through the external SD....
Is this common?
Did you format data according to OP?

It could possibly be a corrupted card, have you tried formatting it? You can unmount and format it via Android OS to ensure best compatibility. If you're going to do it via Windows, ensure it is formatted to exFAT.

Today I rooted my U8800, I installed Clockworkmod, made a backup, and tried installing a Honeycomb ROM, I put the zip file in my SD card, and booted in recovery mode.
I did the following things: wipe data/factory reset; wipe cache partition, wipe dalvik cache, and tried installing the rom from my SD card, however clockworkmod didn't see the .zip file in my SD card, so I rebooted my phone and it didn't start. Then I chose recovery (from my backup) in Clockworkmod, still didn't work.
I can see the booting screen (it says IDEOS), it stays there for a while and then it just goes black and boots itself again.
Is there any way to fix this issue?
What do you mean by a honeycomb rom? You need CM7, MIUI or Oxygen for your phone which are all gingerbread based and available in the development section of this forum. Honeycomb is for tablets only.
What phone do you have? a regular u8800 or a u8800pro?
Which recovery do you have?
What does the recovery do when you select restore from backup?
Lastly, does the recovery see anything else on the sd card?

Right, I thought I could get Honeycomb, I completely screwed up...
I have a regular u8800, Clockworkmod Recovery 4
When I select restore from backup, it just does exactly what it's supposed to do, at the end it says that the recovery was succesful, but I'm still stuck in bootloop.
Yes, the recovery can see different things on my SD card.
If I downloaded CM7, put it on my SD card, and then installed it via CWM, would it work?
Oh and is there a way to access my SD card without my phone actually being turned on?
If it is an external card, use a sd card reader to put files onto it. If not, get an external card and card reader!
You can try wipe userdata, cache and dalvic cache then restore backup, otherwise I would definitely get hold of CM7 from here:

Oxygen from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1149150
MIUI:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1354680
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1362963
Install one of them and hopefully you should be back up and working.
I did try wiping userdata, cache, and dalvik cache, however it still doesn't boot...
I'm going to get an SD card reader later today, but I'm not very optimistic since it doesn't boot even with the backup I had from CWM, so I don't think it'll bot with CM7 or something..
So I figured out what my problem was, I didn't put the .zip file in my phone memory, I put it in an external micro-SD card, because I thought that's what I was supposed to do.. so now I'm pretty much screwed.
Is there any way to make CWM search for the .zip on my external SD, or is there any way to access my phone memory without actually booting it?

Since you have ClockworkMod Recovery, I'll assume your bootloader isn't useless: Download {L,X}Ubuntu and burn it on a CD or make a bootable USB. Boot it and put your phone into the pink screen mode: you'll be able to mount the internal SD card. For me, I find Genokolar's CWM to be weird with the external card: the only time I can get it to see the card is if I boot into Android, unmount the card and then do an "adb reboot bootloader" from my computer

I'm going to try this, currently downloading Ubuntu, although I've never used it before, so I'm really scared of just messing everything up.
Thank you SO much guys, especially qwerty12.
I installed Ubuntu and put the CM7 .zip file on my internal memory, and succesfully installed CM7, now my phone booted normally, and I have CM7 installed!
Great stuff,glad you got it sorted
Hi,
After I install any rom and boot back into recovery, I keep getting asked for a TWRP password. I've never entered a password before, and when I hit cancel, it locks my internal sd card. I can't boot back into the rom, nor restore a nandroid from my ext sd card because it "can't mount /data." How can I get around this?

Are you formatting data as opposed to wiping data? I think that might be the culprit.

I initially formatted my internal sd card so I could free up some space... Now I see the only work around is to format data and reboot recovery for it to load up my nandroid. Everytime I restart the phone it boot loops and I have to go to recovery where it asks me for a password again. It's an ongoing cycle lol...
Try installing another recovery like cwm or ouhds (tar or tar.md5) via odin and if that doesn't work, ur gonna have to start from scratch man.

Another recovery did not help at all.. I might have to ODIN factory reset unless there is another method?
Is it correct that a full wipe with stock recovery will wipe the internal card as well, while the full wipe made with a custom recovery will not?
Yep, had to experience that myslef
Luckyly i had a one week old backup of my internal sd

i wiped data on stock recovery and wiped data on cwm, all gone
hehehe. only folders are being left with empty files in it
On stock, it does wiped all the content on internal sd but on a custom cwm it depends. Im using chenglu's and it doesn't wiped my internal sd when doing a restore facotry reset on cwm.

What about the aroma installer ? Does it wipe the ext sd card ?

Well your internal storage is mounted at data/media so if you format data, i can only assume that media will go with it.

That Is weird indeed. Custom recoveries don't/shouldn't wipe internal sdcard while wiping data. Twrp used to but it doesn't anymore. And cwm has never wiped it AFAIK.

No. Most of the roms updater scripts are set wipe system partition and/or data and some have the option in aroma for the users to choose. But internal/external sdcards don't get wiped.

That is true for stock recovery but custome recoveries make sure to not wipe the contents of data/media.

I think it is a yes when we try to wipe it on stock recovery it will wipe all our data, when im in Philz Cwm, surprisingly it didnt. Maybe some CWM offer full wipe and some are not. i did try it long time ago while because im kinda flashaholic. Sorry if im wrong.
Hello everyone,
I am running 3.0.2-2 on the SM-G935FD and for whatever reason TWRP won't wipe the encryption, thus I cant read the internal SD card. I am getting the " /data mount" error.
I have done the advanced wipe and cleared everything except the external SD, am I using the wrong TWRP? any ideas?
You must wipe data! Wipe it all internal storage!

I had same issue on G935F. Try advanced and format data in twrp. The option where you have to type yes. If not then flash stock recovery, factory reset and boot into download and flash twrp before booting into system to flash dm-verity zip.

...have you tried cursing/threatening/random acts of violence on inanimate objects? no? well BEFORE you do, advance wipe, wipe system/data/etc, reboot, or there are ways to reformat as ExFat with a PC too.
hello!
i'm running android 7.1.1 rom in my device ,and I formatted my sd as internal . but this partition inaccessible from my cwm recovery ..is there any way i can make recovery to access the sd card while using it as internal .. It will make system updates easy !!
Thank you :good:
If you use the official LinOS 14.1, then yes you can.
You should be using TWRP.
