Hi. After instaling TWRP and some custom roms, i got one big problem. my samsung a5 2016, showing only 4 gb of internal storage. this phone should have 16gb. I download official firmware from samsung site and flash with odin also, and i still have same problem. i cant install any app cuz system use 80% of space. Does anyone know how to fix this?
Back up all the files first. then enter twrp and select wipe, advanced wipe. Choose everything else except for usb otg and shift to wipe.
the phone will be completely erased. install official firmware with odin. Or if you have twrp backup, restore from backup.

Hello people my phone getting old i think 1.5 year so far my phone started to freeze having lags getting too hot while browsing. And bootloops started without flashing anything. First bootloop happened 2 weeks ago. Today happened again twice i wiped dalvik cache and everything is fine how can i fix it? I thought rom cause it i flashed stock firmware rooted it and removed bloatware. Still happens lags,freeze,getting too hot and bootloop. Is it lollipop update? I never had this issues with kitkat. How can fix this and keep my alive?

Try a full factory reset. Be careful as this will wipe your internal storage.

Thank you for your answer but I did it after flash stock rom via odin. Wiped data / factory reset , cache partition , mounted cache , system , data , wiped dalvik cache..
Wiping data does not equal a factory reset. Wiping data does just that, wipes user installed apps. But generally leaves the internal storage alone.
A factory reset returns the phone to the settings it came out of the factory with, including a clean internal storage(If you have the stock rom). I heard that changing roms and just wiping data, dalvik and cache will still leave behind some files.
But it could also be untrue.

Flashing stock rom is same with factory reset i think clears everything.
I don't know. Haven't flashed stock on this device yet.
But don't most guys recommend doing a wipe before going back to stock?
I dont know i'll try that when i have free time. I did research some guys saying lollipop causing these problems. I'll try wipe before flash stock rom again , if issues keep happen i'll use lates 4.4.2 custom rom. Thank you for your answers i'll report back.
Real reset
This method will wipe everything, including operating system and efs files. Before you do this:
you must root
Download twrp recovery
Install the recovery using the app from the play store
Boot into recovery mode and have twrp backup everything
save your backup to an SD card and the computer (can't hurt to have two backups)
Doing the above will preserve your phone important data like your imei and efs
in case something goes wrong.
NOW
after you have backed everything up use twrp recovery to wipe data. Have twrp wipe everything except for your SD card (don't won't to lose the backup)
After everything has been obliterated have twrp boot you into download mode.
Download Odin from XDA preferably 3.09 (most stable release) and then grab an official stock firmware from a trusted source. The latest stock firmware should be at least 4.4.2
If you have carriers other than t-mobile you will also need to find a PIT file for partitioning.
When you have all of this open up Odin with your phone connected in download mode and make sure repartitioning, clear efs and nand-erase is checked along with the defaults.
Select pda button and choose your firmware (unzipped tar.md5 format.) Then select repartitioning PIT file button and direct to where you have the PIT file downloaded.
now click start (be sure that the Com port is recognized by Odin: will be highlighted in blue or yellow.)
This will take a while depending on your computer.
when it finishes your phone should reboot with a fresh os and filesystem. If you get stuck in a bootloop reboot into recovery mode and do a wipe data and wipe cache. Reboot and your phone should be good as new.
IMPORTANT!!! It is vital you keep your TWRP backups for as long as you have your phone if you lose them and something goes wrong while flashing your phone you will lose important things such as IMEI baseband which will prevent you from connecting to your network and Sim card recognition.
Thank you so much i'll try this now.

Is that another custom recovery?
If so then yes just make sure you have all of your system files and most importantly your efs backed up.
Run odin as administrator if that doesnt work, try using another version of Odin.

Doesnt work another versions both twrp and odin. I'll keep my custom recovery and try it.

What carrier are you using, model number of the phone, etc.
Have you backed everything up? And can you flash the custom recovery through Odin if it fails?
Try it without wiping efs first just to be safe
Look here for your device you will be able to find standalone flash able versions of twrp that should work through odin.

Using i9500. And i did what you said and works fine thank you! Mods close thread please.
Hey guys
I basically did a full wipe of my S4 I9505 because I wanted to change roms the new rom is the Dirty Unicorn in the i9505 thread. Everything has gone the last thing TWRP said before I turned it off was my phone wasn't rooted and to install SU then it went off. I tried to restart the phone in download mode which works then tried to reboot normally it wouldn't go past the start screen. I am assuming I need to flash TWRP the Dirty Unicorn Rom through Odin? Is what I'm thinking right or is there alternatives?
TWRP doesn't care if your phone is rooted or not.
Can you boot into TWRP?
If not, try flashing TWRP again through Odin then flash Dirty Unicorns with TWRP.
Thanks for that GDReaper it doesn't boot into TWRP now. I'll try that as soon as possible.
With the Dirty Unicorns rom it said do a full wipe I'm assuming that's the standard TWRP wipe even though it said do internal and external sd card wipe?

you never have to wipe external, if you did and also wiped internal as well you'd be deleting all your user files including the new rom you intended to flash. that would leave you needing to download the rom and gapps again on a computer and then transferring them to your external SDcard before you could continue.
click on wipe, then advanced wipe and tick
dalvik/art
cache
data
preload
and system... then swipe to start the process
actually there is a time when you might wipe all your memory including internal and external memory but it should be telling you that you have to backup all your files somewhere first I'm such cases...
Thanks for that 3mel!
That's what happened. I'm assuming I need to put my sd card in a card reader and transfer that way?
yes or if you have an adaptor for it, it might go into an SD slot if your laptop has one...
It's booting up now I can't thank you guys enough for your quick responses and sound advice!
Installation:
You must have flashed a Android 7.0 Samsung Firmware with Odin.
TWRP recovery
Format data in recovery
First installation needs a full wipe! (Updating to newer releases a dirty flash will do)...

There is no way to flash Android 7.0 to this phone with Odin.
Dear forum members,
Im having issues with writing to my internal sd card, here the descripption of what i did:
I installed the rom Phronesis v6.2, everything was working perfectly until I realized that xposed was missing, I decided to install it by flashing the xposed-v80-sdk22-arm, unfortunately I got a boot loop so i decided to go back to my original stock rom (4.4.2) restoring a nondroid backup.
The problem is that after restoring it seems that I lost writing privileges to my internal sd card, using es file explorer shows that the storage/emulated/0 folder is empty, but it displays that is using 16 gb from 26. Using the stock “my files” the folders are displayed but I cannot copy anything to it (failed to copy). Applications in general work (some force closes) but I cannot save any settings
If I connect the phone to a pc, i cannot copy any files from the computer to the internal or external sd cards, however I can copy from the external sd to the computer.
I tried to format clear cache etc and restore again but the issue persists.
Can anyone be so kind and try to help me figure out a possible solution?
Thanks in advance

1. Go to your custom recovery and wipe all (system, data, dalvik).
2. Reboot in DOWNLOAD MODE and flash the ORIGINAL STOCK android 4.4.2 firmware via ODIN.
3. Root your device and flash via ODIN the custom recovery again.
4. Restore your nandroid backup.
5. Done. Good luck :highfive:
Hello Joku,
Thanks a lot for the reply, i fixed the issue by formatting the internal sd, wiping all (system, data, dalvik) and then restoring the nandroid backup, now all works.
Thanks again!

Hello,
since one week my device, a samsung galaxy s4 i9505, is software bricked and stuck on bootlogo and I've been tryin to save my internal storage, but I'm close to giving up. I hope someone here can help me.
My situation:
1. Updated my TWRP to version 3.0.1-0-jfltexx with odin 3.10.0
2. Flashed new ROM "OMEGA ROM", that worked good.
3. Backup with TWRP, successfull, reboot, galaxy logo appears, flash, again -> bootloop
4. Flashed firmware "i9505XXUHOB8" BL and modem, with odin 3.10.0 in BL and CP
5. No bootloop anymore, but stuck on ROM Logo with normal start and with recovery start blue text "recovery booting..." on galaxy screen but nothing happens.
6. Saw that TWRP 2.8.7.0-i9500 is the recommended TWRP for the i9505, flashed the .img.tar with odin 3.09 in AP (is the .img a problem?) but still same problem, with TWRP 2.8.6.0-i9500.tar too.
6. Tried different firmwares: i9505XXUHOB7, i9505XXUHOF2, i9505XXUHOJ4 -> I thought the problem is the bootloader -> odin error: complete (write) operation failed or NAND write error (->problem was usb port)
7. Tried different odin versions: 1.85, 3.10.6, 3.09
8. Tried different usb cables
9. Flashed cf-auto-root to mount the data partition, but theres no option. Recovery mode is now working, but the samsung recovery, not TWRP.
10. Tried to copy internal storage with ADB, can navigate the directory but can't pull or cd /storage/sdcard0 -> no such file or directory, same with /mnt/sdcard (ADB only works during the ROM logo)
11. Flashed stock samsung firmware "i9505XXUHOJ2_i9505AUTHXXUHOJ1_i9505XXUHOJ2" with odin 3.09 -> now stuck on samsung boot logo. My ROM is now deleted, right?
12. Wipe cache don't help
13. Could wipe data/factory reset or repartition with odin but then I will lost my internal storage.....
I have a backup from the successfull backup with TWRP, but can't open the data.ext4.win001 after rename it (the .win000 is ok)....
Can anyone help me or have an idea how can I save my data and repair the system?
-Mr.Tea
use TWRP to copy files from internal storage over to external SDcard for stuff you wanna keep.
if you manage to backup the data partition you're supposed to be able to extract apps and data from a nandroid with titanium backup pro (never tried it though).
this data you wanna save, if it wasn't created while running omega rom then it wasn't likely to work with it anyway. that could be the source of your bootloops. if that data came from a previous custom rom then try to go back to it, and if successful backup apps with titanium and files to SDcard. you can't keep your data partition and go into a new rom with it.
if the data came from a stock rom you'll loose it trying to go back so extracting from a nandroid is probably your best bet there or restoring once back to stock.

TWRP is not working anymore -> blue text "Recovery booting..." on galaxy logo
In many forums they mean TWRP backup not includes the internal storage (/sdcard partition)?!
Can extract my "data.ext4.win000" and "data.ext4.win001" but not find the /sdcard location or my userdata.

try TWRP 3.0.0 by JDCteam, hundreds of happy users there. if it works first time make sure to try backing up your data partition and then wiping it. you can copy your media storage with the built-in file browser as mentioned.
you've got bigger problems if it's not data causing your problems...
Hello everyone.
I am new owner of an S7 Edge and so I root it is ok!
I have installed a recovery version 3.0.2.4 this is ok too but I have a concern to make a full backup.
1 - When starting recovery I have a screen that says "Installing zips or operations via adb may change the system partition".
2 - When I want to do a backup I have these 03 options that are checked.
Booting
System
Data
But when I drag to make this backup I have error messages
Here are the images to better understand.
I think I have forgotten something, could you orient me please?
Thank you for your help.
encrypted data...... so if you want do a backup try out flashfire......
Working fine with flashfire !!
But there is still the solution of real recovery?
How to decrypt the data?
To make a backup?
Thanx !
1. Reboot to TWRP, Wipe > Format Data > Type 'yes'. This will wipe all the data on your phone including internal storage.
2. Don't reboot, and flash either SuperSU or one of the zips from here (latest version would be preferred). Since you have to wipe your internal storage in the previous step, put the zip in your external sdcard beforehand or flash it through adb sideload if you know how to.
Be careful when flashing stock firmware with odin, as it will automatically encrypt your device again. After you flash stock firmware, reboot directly into download mode again, flash TWRP, reboot to TWRP, and then follow step 2.
Hi !
I will download a stock rom in case of problem and I come back to give the results.
Big thanks !!! :good: :good:
