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?
I was flashing a new ROM and accidentally ticked the option to wipe "Internal Storage." Now, I cannot access any files because they have obviously been deleted. I am stuck in TWRP with nothing to flash and no OS installed. Is there some way I can fix this?

Unroot your phone to factory image then root again.
OR flash clockmod revoir to access storage (haven't tried b4 thou)
Reboot into the boot loader (Hold down power and volume down) and and then fast boot the factory image.
Google "how to restore nexus 4 to stock, fast boot"

Just ADB Push your files connecting your phone to the PC while TWRP is on.
i also want to wipe internal storage using twrp in my nexus 5. i have my rom in flash drive. can i flash the rom that I have in my flash drive if I mount it after I wiped internal storage?
Current TWRPs support MTP, all you need to do is wipe the storage and plug your phone into the PC. Just make sure that MTP is checked in the "mount" menu of TWRP. You can then proceed to put the ROM's zip onto the internal storage and flash like you normally would.
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.

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
Hi I have a problem with TWRP l, every time I try to make a backup or try to flash anything, it comes up with a error saying "failed to mount system device or resource busy"

Only option is to format data and type 'yes'
Then flash ROM and restore backup.

No you want to go to format and ask you to type yes. Do this. Then flash the ROM you want. Fulmics, stock, etc.
Ok doing that
Fulmics installed correctly but it still asks me to enter a password in twrp

Have you set up your fingerprint or code/pattern to unlock?
Yes and it's a pattern

Do the following:
1. Put Fulmics rom or any other rom on the SD Card and put it in your phone.
2. Format your system, don't wipe because your phone needs to be configured again.
3. Install TWRP on your phone with ADB.
4. Install the Fulmics rom.
5. Now it should be all okay.
TWRP is working properly now I can now make backups with TWRP, thanks
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

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.
