[Q] [i9505] Possibly bricked or TWRP messed it up [SOLVED!]

I've had problems with my phone for a while now, no stable roms or mods, phone doesn't wake up from deep sleep, lagg....
So I got in to recovery mode (latest TWRP) a few hours ago and I got asked for a password? :S didn't know that TWRP had a protection function.. I pressed BACK and that was that, I got in to the menu and pressed INSTALL but the SDCARD was empty?
Using the filemanager in TWRP the internal SDCARD was still empty, but the microsd worked fine.
After rebooting the phone I got stuck on the sgs4 screen, so the rom didn't boot.
I went back to recovery and wiped everything possible and formatted the sdcard, afterward I installed a rom and rebooted.
Still the same problem, got stuck on the sgs4 screen.
In TWRP the sdcard was still empty. So I downloaded a odin flashable rom and flashed the phone through odin but got stuck at the same place.
I now have the stock recovery and when selecting "apply update from external storage", I get the error message:
"E:failed to mount /sdcard (No such file or directory)"
Is there any function in a TWRP/CWM or modded recovery that can fix the internal sdcard?
Or perhaps repartition everything?
Just to let everyone know, the flashing in odin and TWRP worked as usual, so the system/data etc partition as fine.
Guess it's the sdcard partition that's corrupted OR if TWRP somehow locked the sdcard because I didn't enter a password?
I could be wrong but then I'm completely clueless.
Appreciate some help, thanks!
EDIT: [SOLUTION]
Since there is no way to use adb in recoverymode or downloadmode (I wasn't able to), you need to use odin.
1. Enter download mode and flash a clean rom through odin.
2. Enter download mode again and flash TWRP through odin.
3. Wipe DATA through TWRP and reboot.
4. Factory Reset through TWRP and reboot.
5. Done.

Seems like this is the wrong place to ask, but I think I found the problem.
It was TWRP with their "password protection" that cause the problem.
Downgrading to other versions wont help as it did for others with the transformer pad.
I did a search for "TWRP PASSWORD" and it looks like TWRP has a bug.
This is what I get in TWRP:
E:Mount: Unable to find partition for path '/sdcard'
EUnMount: Unable to find partition for path '/sdcard'
This is definitely the last time I'll use TWRP.
When flashing CWM, I'm unable to boot into recovery, only works with TWRP..

I'll keep posting here until I solve this if anyone get the same problem.

In the link above, someone manage to fix their phone with the same problem I have, even though it's the nexus7.
So what I've learned is that I shouldn't let TWRP root my phone.
I need a system.img file, could it be just the system parititon? Don't know how to get that file, so could use some help.
EDIT:
I'm going to unpack a odin package, found a system.img.ext4 in there, guess that wont help so have to find one with stock filesystem.

Cant flash Cyanogenmod with twrp ??

I have an S5 '900I' which recently stopped booting after I installed a custom cyanogenmod theme.
I flashed CWM with odin but I couldnt boot into recovery after so I tried TWRP, which worked fine.
Im attempting to flash cyanogenmod 13 but it just sits at 'flashing file 1 of 1' indefinitely
So far ive tried,
1) Downloading a different version of cyanogenmod
2) verifying the hash
3) formatting, Dalvick, cache, system prior to the flash
4) unchecking zip file verification
5) making sure system IS mounted prior to the flash
6) moving the cyanogenmod.zip from the SD card to internal storage
7) moving the cyanogenmod.zip from root to subfolder (some people said this worked for them ?)
After attempting each and all of the above I have the exact same issue ?
It gets to 'Patching system file unconditionally' then sits there at ''flashing file 1 of 1' 'forever' i.e 1 hour plus
Is there anything I might be missing ?

Do a fresh start , flash back stock rom then root install twrp and flash CM13.

Interrupt internal storage

Hello everyone,
I have moto xt1572, it unlockbootloader and rooted. I am using TruPureXMM rom.
Yesterday I flash Dual Stock rom using ADB/Fastboot. After flashed, my phone's internal storage was interrupted. When I boot into TWRP, it show 0 MB, it look like the patition not fomat yet. And I can't flash any rom.zip.
I found there are topic: Restore to stock tool.
So is that work for my XT1572 case
Please help me to fix that.
Thank you so much

Were you using the sd card as internally adopted? That can cause the issue you got when you change rom's. I don't think there is a solution to this.

I've never had a similar problem with this phone, but on some other devices I've had no amount of wiping in TWRP was as effective as a full wipe in the stock recovery. Wiping with stock recovery would fix the internal file system, encryption issues, etc. You might try fastboot flashing the stock recovery and giving it a try, if TWRP isn't working for you.

I fixed this problem by follow guide from this page Rootjunky.
1st
I use RSD lite but it fails
2nd
I use fastboot/adb follow guide
- download file MotoXPureClarkbatchfiles.zip.
- Download stock firmware of moto XT1572
- Extract MotoXPureClarkbatchfiles.zip and stock firmware in same folder
- Boot my phone in bootloader mode, then connect to PC
- And run file FullRestore.bat
It's worked.

upgrading to nougat

Hello people of P9 lite, I have a few questions regarding the upgrade process
i'm currently on MM with unlocked bootloader so according to what i have read
i need to flash meticulus recovery first then flash the nougat zip files with it
but when i flash the first file, it breaks and i'm unable to flash the second file (data full) so i'm left with many missing aps in the OS
and when i try to flash revolution recovery it is unable to mount data, but i read on a thread here that if i format it to f2fs then to ext4 again it will mount data
but even when i do that i'm unable to flash zips
also if i try dload method i'm missing apps like the first method
can someone point me to what i am doing wrong, please?
thanks.

[Q] Please help me fix my issue

Hi.
My phone is not bricked, but I stuck with a "test build" rom on my phone, I have no idea how to install anything else now.
First of all, I have to tell: I previously always used telephones with stock android interface, so this is why I wanted to mess with my phone, and try some other rom (for example: carbon), emui wasn't so friendly for me...
I had fully stock P10 lite dual sim version with 3gb ram WAS-LX1C432B206 (or maybe an ota update newer) when I opened up the bootloader.
Installed twrp_p10_lite_0.4.img from fastboot, and installed supersu on the phone. With the stock rom and root was everything working well.
The only thing, I noticed, the TWRP did not see normall the data partition, if i wanted to browse, i just saw directories with strange caracters in their names.
One week later i wanted to try Carbon rom. The next problem came up here, I wanted to back up my system and data from twrp, Of course the data partition always was failed. I tried different twrp versions what I have find here on XDA
- EliteTWRP-3.2.1-0_2018-01-19.img
- Huawei P10 Lite-RecoveryTwrp EMUI 8.0.0.zip
- Twrp P10 Lite Nougat By KingOfMezi.zip
...and different versions of these twrp recoveries..
Elite and KingOfMezi twrp version was working the best for me, however also not good with the data partition. Because of this i made no backup from my data partition. (honestly nothing important on my phone yet) These recoveries allowed me to Format data, then wipe dalvik, cache, data etc..
So on this way i was able to install another rom, with no any error messagesm but with no any luck...
Any Rom I tried with no emui, was failing to boot, even not starting the boot sequence..
After this I flashed Elite_Rom_v7.7_for_P9-Lite_Honor_5C_6X_8-Lite_10-Lite_by_HassanMirza01
which was booting up, but my simcard was not working in the phone..
I fixed this problem by flashing and Huawei P10 Lite-OemInfoC432DualSim.zip and using 3 button method with dload folder on an empty sdcard with update_WAS-L21_hw_eu.app and update.app (Warsaw-L21_C432B182_EU_SERVICE_androidhost.ru)
After this, Android boots up, everything works fine, simcards too, imei numbers are okay. but the build version is NRD90M test-keys (and a year old version of emui rom)
It also closes back the bootloader, which i can open up any time, and flash twrp again, almost any version i want, some of them gives me error messagesm like not enough space on the pertition(sorry i dont remember exactly for the massage) espacially when i want to flash recovery ramdisk, always fails... With the flashable twrps the old problem still presistant with the data partition: i can't read/mount. Or after a restart, i can mount, and format, but no matters what i try to flash on the phone, nothing boots up.
If i use the 3 button method, and the sd card, the phone sets back itself to this test build rom, and works just fine, But i even can't install supersu on this system because it makes fail to boot...
I thought i'm technical enough to root a phone and install some different roms just like before in the previous few years, but i screwed up something very much, and honestly i already don't understand the whole methods, i dont see thel logic behind the procedures, I lost the clue...
In my opinion the main problem must be around the data partition because its not visible from the twrp recoveries...
If anyone have any Idea how to fix my issue, i appreciate, and thanks in advance.

if the rom number version is test keys you did the step oeminfo bad, copied more or insufficient files than you need and boom the restore made incorrectly.
Obviously make a copy to the important data qnd enable oem unlock.
1- you need a sdcard, ds orr ss oeminfo and b182 or 183 depending on your system
2- insert sdcard on the phone slot and boot in twrp backup only oeminfo(copy to safe place before nothing) then replace oeminfo, restore and dont make anything more.
3- Copy b182 or b183 service rom files inside of dload folder to dload created in sdcard. 182 for ds, 183 for ss.
4- finished copy seitch the phone disconnect the microusb from phone and just do the dload method.

Hey! I have a P10 Lite WAS-LX3 dual sim. I was trying to flash a custom ROM with android Pie, I have a lot of experience doing it with a lot of cellphones, but this time I don't know what is not working, I did a complete clean installation like you did in the first part of you tread, the problem is that the Custom ROMs don't boot I tried a lot of them also tried lineageOS 15.1 just like it happened to you, the only one that works is stock ROM, When I flash the Custom ROM without errors then I reboot to system, but, I cannot pass the screen of: You device is booting now. I really want use customs ROM in my cellphone, to give to it another year. Thank you.
