Hey, so I rooted my Galaxy S7 edge exynos, and everything was great. However, when I boot into recovery, TWRP can't do anything. It can't backup, install images, nothing. It says my memory is 0mb, and if I try to backup it says "cannot mount /data and unable to find crypto footer". I can restart my phone to system and everything works perfectly. Is there a way to fix this? I'm using latest version of TWRP (3.0.2)
Thanks guys!

FORMAT DATA, it's explicitly stated in the instructions. You must format data to wipe encryption.

Is there no way around this at all? It's really a hassle having to reset my phone every time.
Is there at least a way to install xposed without formatting?
Thanks!

You only do this once, use flashfire or titanium backup to backup your stuff.
did you flash this after TWRP?
"If you only want a bootable system partition or writable data in TWRP:
Download dm-verity and force encryption disabler.
Without exiting TWRP, transfer no-verity-opt-encrypt.zip to your device over MTP* and flash it using [Install] in TWRP."
https://idlekernel.com/fun-stuff-trust-me/no-verity-opt-encrypt.zip
same here !:<
Same problem a few days ago. Caused by secure startup or encrypt device obviously lol. Only fix for read/write on data/internal storage is factory reset in stock recovery. Unfortunately this was the only fix for my fussy G935F.
TWRP couldn't mount data to wipe anyway I tried and the only way to flash was through selecting extSD.
i dont have escription enabled though ._.

I find a solution, just go in wipe and format data , it will removes encryption on internal storage. if not works try a factory reset in stock recovery them try again, S7 is encrypted out of the box and Twrp can't read or mount data. Works for me in G935F.
how long does it take to format? i chose exfat and it's taking ages... am i doing something wrong?

i unlocked a nexus 5 and got the same problem, formatted data, all seems good now
is there a way to save my data? my phone is oneplusone
if you use twrp to flash xposed, it'll still work. But your data is still encrypted.
Should I do anything else after the Formating data (install TWRP again, root again...)?
I remember that I did format data in my last phone and it completely deleted everything including OS, so now im little afraid.
Currently I can't do nothing in TWRP, not wipe and not backup...

Just format data and you will be able to use twrp.

Thanks, it worked! Too bad that the only way to get this is by loosing all the data .
Hi all,
I followed instruction on installing TWRP and also have root. I also installed the no-verity-opt-encrypt.zip file, but I still can't access internal SD. It says 0mb. Also after installing the zip it similar stated 'unable to mount'.
When I try to format data it can't mount it.
am i missing a step??
ideas?
Thanks in advance...
PS: not sure if this is relevant, but it keep coming up with the same flash screen message: "keep system read only?"
I tick the box says don't display this, and swipe to allow modifications, but get this message every time.

You have to format the data after you installed twrp. And then you can flash supersu and no verity opt thingie.
Thanks for the reply... It wont let me format it. 'says can not mount'
I'm having the same issue here. Although I can root, I cannot wipe data, so no way to install a custom ROM
hello there!
some months ago i tried a custom firmware on my 9506 (i think that was the first version of arya mod) but i didnt kinda like it so i downloaded again the stock fw and flashed it back.
i did my typicall "download the basic apps" routine and on the 4th app an "insufficient storage available" message appeared on my screen and i was like "lol whats wrong?" i checked on and i found that 10.6Gb was used by system.
Well i thought that i downloaded maybe a bugged stock rom and i didnt have the free time at the time to check whats wrong so i decided to live with it till i find some spare time to check it again.
Yesterday i downloaded and flashed the lineage os fw and i was sure that this would fix the problem...but...well it didnt..still 10.6 used by system.
i tried wipe EVERYTHING (dalvik/cache/system/internal) and reflashed again but still nothing,i flashed again the stock rom,still nothing, i searched online but i didnt find a solution, i downloaded diskusage app to see where are those 10gbs but i couldnt figure out where they where.
So if anyone knows anything or had the same or similar problem it would be great if he/she write here and give a solution or some tips.
Thanks in advance

Try flashing the stock ROM together with a PIT file
i fixed it guys
i flashed again cwm recovery and i formated EVERYTHING from there and then reflashed again the rom and gapps and that fixed the problem.
Thanks for your help !
For the record, CWM's incremental backup feature was what I believe was stealing your space. If you still have CWM on that device, make sure to set the default nandroid backup format to ".tar" instead of ".dup", clear out your nandroid backups, clear all the allocated space, and then upgrade to the latest version of TWRP.
CWM hasn't been updated in a few years now and has difficulty installing modern ROMs.
you are right i think.
if i recall corectly when i flashed that rom back then before the problem appeared, i used cwm recovery so yeah maybe thats the main reason that this happened.
i allready set the default backup to .tar and cleared out all the nandroid backups and i allready use TWRP now.
thanks for the tip mate!
I tried creating a system backup through TWRP just now for the first time ever. Throughout the process, it gave me multiple messages saying "unable to mount data" and the same for some other folders, and when the backup supposedly finished, it just said failed.
Is there anything I can try without actually wiping either of the partitions? This obviously because I'm trying to create a backup so I can wipe afterwards.

In twrp main menu screen select ' Mount ' menu and make sure mount data is ticked then go back and try backing up again.

Thanks for your reply, it doesn't actually let me tick that box. Nothing happens when I tick it. It also says that the data partition is 0mb. Any idea what that might mean?

Which version of twrp are you using
Latest is 3.2.3.0 which should fix the data issue ( it"s a known issue).

That's the TWRP version that I've got installed.
I just reinstalled both stock firmware and reflashed TWRP but the exact same issue persists. At first I was able to mount data though, I could flash zips such as Magisk etc. But after having set everything up again on my phone, I couldn't mount data anymore.

Maybe I wasn't very clear.
I flash the stock firmware, set that up to enable OEM unlock. Then flash TWRP, wipe /data, flash magisk and other required zips (at this point, data is mounted). I then set that all up however I want, install apps etc.
If I want to create a backup after all that, it doesn't work cause of the unable to mount /data and /storage.

Sounds like your device is still encrypted
Did you flash the no Verity encrypt zip file
Also I said to format data not wipe.
In the mount menu these are the options I have enabled.

You're right, I formatted data, not wipe.
I did flash the no verity zip, does the order in which I flash Magisk, no-verity and RMM state unlock matter?

The instructions I followed to install twrp
Flash twrp (which you have done)
Format data
When finished reboot back into twrp(use twrp reboot menu option)
Flash no-verity zip via twrp ( have to make sure you have it on internal storage or SD card)
Then flash everything else
Not sure if you need RMM state unlock if your bootloader(OEM) is already unlocked in developer options though.

Just as matter of curiosity I use FX file explorer (root) in the menu filesystem it should tell you what format your data partition is mine or ext4. I have read that some people through twrp have changed it to something like ext3 and then back to ext4
Also this is the thread I used to install my twrp

I think that second thread you linked may have done the trick.
At first it didn't seem to help, but when I tried it again after reflashing everything, I am now able to mount /data.
I'm still in the dark as to why this happened and hasn't happened to anyone else other than the person who created that file, but either way, thank you very much for your help.

Try the modded twrp from nx thread
Hi, I am trying to make a nandroid backup using twrp on my LG G6 H870, but I am unable to do so as the data fails to be mounted. I have tried to repair the partition using twrp but I just get an error 8 and I don't know what that means. If someone could help, that would be great. I am doing this so that I can safely restore to the stock rom from HavocOS.
Thanks

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)
Ohk Let Me Help You .
Have You Advance Swipe the internal storage..then rebooted to twrp Before flashing the ROM !!

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.
