Boot and recovery are on different partitions, and recovery had its own kernel.
You can wipe boot and still enter recovery -- that's what it's designed for.

Hi,
I tried installing a lineageos 15.1 ROM, but didn't work for me. I loaded the 7.1 ROM on the system, I wiped for a clean install, but could not find the storage path in the root. So I loaded it onto a usb drive and connected to my phone, tried installing, but I'm getting an error saying "Can't install this package on top of incompatible data." I have installed many ROMs from a usb before, don't know why I'm getting this. If anybody can help me, thank you.
Performed a full wipe of system, data, and cache before flashing?

Yes, but I didn't wipe internal storage. For some reason I cannot find the storage path in the root.
You could use twrp to wipe as well.
Are you flashing over a stock ROM?

No, as I said, lineageos 15.1. I did use twrp to wipe specifically System, Dalvik, Cache, and Data.
Only other possible solution I can think of would be to flash the latest stock ROM and start over.

Hi, do you know where I can download that?
Try sammobile.com, updato.com, or Samsung-firmware.org for the stock ROM.

Hi, the stock ROM is loaded! Thanks! But...I'm getting a problem where the T-mobile splash screen is just there, the OS isn't loading. The brightness is at the lowest but flashes to the highest every 14 or so seconds. How can I fix this porblem?
Did you flash the latest stock ROM?
Did you perform a factory reset from recovery?

I flashed the latest firmware from updato, I didn't factory reset. Do I do that from twrp or the stock, because I already have twrp on it.
Try twrp first. If that doesn't fix it, use stock recovery.

Good to hear it

I have flashed a ROM that requires firmware update, and my phone cannot boot

I tried to flash PE-CAF at first, but it appears Error 7.
I look up at the thread, and error 7 means require firmware update
So I proceed to update the firmware to 339 and flash the ROM.
Well, PE-CAF is successfully flashed, but it stuck at the Google Logo screen forever.
I tried to flash other ROM as well, and all of them successfully flashed but also cannot boot at all.
Anyone can help with my issue?

Welcome bro

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)
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?

I already tried this. I'll try once more to format data, wipe, reboot to TWRP and flash the ROM.

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.
