You need to FORMAT DATA, It's in wipe, put format data (IT WILL WIPE EVERYTHING), and woah, there will be the main memory.

Well thnx for the reply I will give this a try but I don't think it will work because when I install the twrp the data value becomes 0, quick question before I try this by wipe everything you mean the phone right not the sd card am I right?

Alright, so final question before I give it a try, the only thing that I click to format is the data right or should I choose something else with it?

You can't now. We always advise the people for read before do something. You can read in the guide:
"- Users are recommended to back-up all data before rooting the device."
*EDIT: You will have to wipe all (data/factory reset, cache and dalvik cache) and flash new stock firmware :highfive:

At first I forgot to tell you that my s4 is encrypted and i used the default encrypted from android.
In the past few days i doing some things could serve me in my case and I need help from everyone
1. i change the recovery to TWRP 2.7.0.1 using odin and i try to mount the storage but i do not find my data is't the data is removed ? but when the s4 boot before black screen he ask me my password for encryption and he knows is't wrong or not, Is this indicates my data is not removed ?
2.i try to find my data over using adb shell but i can not find anything.
My question is: Is my files still exist or not.
Can't you just try to wipe from the TWRP recovery.
1. Boot into the recovery. Then select Wipe. Then "Swipe to factory reset". This won't wipe your internal storage.
2. Flash a custom rom.
3. Boot.
You probably need an external sd card to put the rom on.
My guess is that it should work.

You need to be more specific. What data? You mean phonenumbers, text and apps? Those are lost.
Data on your internal storage like pictures, video and music are not going to be wiped.
Sorry to say, but you don't have any option execpt flashing firmware.
If you want to try other tricks etc so please be careful, your phone can be brick with single wrong step.

In last 3 days I flashed 4 different 4.4.2 firmwares on i9505 with ODIN. But I was surprised to see that after successful flashing I find everything same in sattings (Wallpaper, KK Launcher etc...) then I checked *ABOUT PHONE* to make sure that phone is flashed or not. But I was flashed, after that I went to recovery mode and factory reset to wipe everything. All I want to say that is it possible that after flashing my all settings remain same on newly flashed firmware...?

You don't need to format data,just flash other rom which doesn't have this problem using sideload,and data will be saved

Cannot access files unless in TWRP

Hello!
I tried to do a clean install of MIUI Global (10.3.11, which came with the phone). I didn't install any other ROM before in this device. Wiped eveything (data, system, dalvik etc.), then flashed the ROM and Magisk.
Now, when I connect the phone via USB I cannot access my files. It only shows "internal shared storage" on Windows, and it's all empty. When I try to transfer a file it shows nothing, the file just don't go. While in recovery I can access the storage and transfer files.
*I did activate USB depuration in developer mode.
*I did change de USB mode to "transfer files"
*I reinstalled the ROM several times.
Maybe it's something to do with the format type of the storage?
I'd try to do a ROM fastboot but I cannot find the fastboot version of MIUI Global for MI 9T.
Please, help
Did you format data? I think you forgot this part, format data then you can wipe it if you want.(formatting will delete everything from your internal storage ofc)

Thanks for the reply! Yes, I did.
It seems like the "/storage/emulated/0/........." is broken. I cannot do nothing on this folder. I tried to create a file/folder in it with Solid Explorer and it says that the directory wasn't found.
Any idea?

Noticed that when I try to wipe data after formatting it an error appears on TWRP: "error opening '/data/media' (No such file or directory". Is it normal?
Seems like the ROM isn't properly creating the directory, that's why I can't access it.

If u unlocked your bootloader and your data is decrypted, your phone won't boot with ur data partition unless u completely format it or u flash dfe which in simple terms disables encryption verification
Try it..
U have to flash it everytime u flash a rom zip file which modifies your boot image or your system

I have bootloader unlocked and a custom rom (corvus) I just wanted to test all others roms with no formating data, because its a very boring way to flash roms...
I will test ur zip file,thanks.
Titanium Backup in the PlayStore is what you want.
A new rom should always be installed with a clean wipe to prevent issues.
Titanium allows yo to back up all your data and reinstall it to any rom

Hello I think you're wrong I don't care about application data, we are talking about personal data like music on the phone and others.
When you must backup data you have to transfer ALL on your computer or by otg but when you want to install a rom you don't even want to tranfert your 100go of data and back it up again lol.
