Only 2 gb internal space, after bricked my phone

Short long story. I tried to intall a custom room. in the end was stuck at the bootloader. So after hours, i downloaded my UPDATE.APP , extract system, restore, boot.. did with fastboot. And it was alive again. Now, he acts weird, i cant make any theme changes, for example. And the BIG problem is that now i have only 2 GB internal space and im unable to copy a update.app and make a clean update. i deleted a partition or smth? please help me
UPDATE: It seems that when i booted system.img , was just a bridge to acces my phone. (I didnt do smth right). So, i just reboot in recovery and did a factory reset. Simple as that xD . Now, furthure Q: Anyone know how to install a custom room? i dont have a sd card.

Do you have TWRP? If yes then wipe everything and flash all the images again.
There are two ways to install a custom ROM (via fastboot or custom recovery) can you specify which rom do you want to install?

Something is wrong...

Hi guys i have a problem with my P9 Lite so i'll cut to the chase:
I installed Resurrection Remix and everything was fine. I decided to restore the dump and TWRP backup that i made of stock before hand because meh i could.
Now when i open TWRP and press the Backup button the /data partion doesn't show up. I press the "3 horizontal line" button and right on the top it says: "Failed to mount '/data' (Mounted without encryption...)"
I tried restoring the dump and TWRP backup again and it did not get fixed. I Factory reset the phone and it does not fix it. I format data and it does not fix it. I tried different formats like FAT, EXT4 and exFAT but it still does not get fixed. I tried factory reset from within the phone's settings menu and still does not get fixed.
Nothing is wrong with the phone, it's not bricked, but i cant install any ROM (like Meticulus' CM 13 for example) anymore as i get "ERROR 7" and neither can i mount or make TWRP backup of /data.
I must've screwed up along the way of installing Resurrection Remix and now i don't really know what to do about it. Pls help :crying:

You just screw up your phone...
Backup from twrp works, but at restore appears problems because of encryption of data partition...
Reparation works in that way: have prepared in dload folder a B130 stock firmware, flash oeminfo, phone get corrupted
and need a low level reset (with the help of emui and dload folder). After that your phone should be clean and via 3 key combination start fresh setup.

Hi gtdaniel thanks for the reply ?. I'm a newbie when it comes to these things mentioned so i have no idea where to start. I was hoping that you could link me to a step by step or maybe some screenshots to show me what to do exactly. Thank you, you are a life saver!

Localisation---> not sure what this is
Firmware---> i have VNS-L31C02B123
Bootloader---> unlocked
Twrp---> works fine except for that "unable to mount data" error from above
Root---> Root enable, SuperSu works

Ok!
What i do if i was you is:
1. unlock bootloader - is already done
2. twrp - is already done
3. root - is already done
4. flash C432 oeminfo
5. repair firmware from dload folder with stock firmware C432B130 (update.app put in dload folder and power on with 3 keys combination)
Are you ready to do it?

Step 1-3 done.
Step 4 should be done in twrp right?
Step 5 i need to download the update.app thing, put it in dload on SD card then power on with 3 button combo?
Yes bro thank you! I'm 100% ready to do it and will get back to you when i do.?

Yes, step 4 could be done in twrp if you have oeminfo flashable zip. I do it with a tool from arround here (in fact i do with that tool all: unlock, twrp, root, debrand etc).
Step 5 is ok to do it like you said.

Stuck in recovery with no image to flash

First of all, I read this thread, but no luck.
Situation:
* I unlocked bootloader, installed TWRP 3.1.1-1 and flashed Freedom OS, succeding.
* Then I decided to try the Oreo open beta, but had a problem (error 7 flashing it), so I wanted to get back to Freedom OS
* After flashing Freedom OS again (with success) I rebooted but I was stuck at boot logo.
* I decided to flash again OOS 4.5.14, but I misclicked something and I found my self in TWRP with no ROM to flash on SDcard (I think I have checked also internal storage while wiping).
* PANIC!
So, 3 questions:
1) given that I want to stay encrypted (if still possible at this point) should I decrypt data or not at TWRP boot?
2) if I chose decrypt with the unlock code (read that I did) I have to go with decrypt or formatting is enough to keep crypt?
3) MORE IMPORTANT: how do I get a ROM to flash into the phone. Reeboting in TWRP sometimes I see the internal storage, but when I drop a firmware in it I get the transfer windows stuck at 0% and it disappear after a few seconds.
Thanks in advance to who will help me!

Thanks for the suggestion and... it's a beginning.
The problem is that if I sideload a small file like Magisk upload is ok, even if (obviously) it can't install.
When it comes to Oxygen OS I get I cannot read file error.
I doubleclicked the file and it opens in PC, so it isn't corrupted.

I'd be tempted to try another USB cable and maybe another computer if you have one. Failing that, if it's a problem with TWRP your last resort may be a complete low level flash. A good guide is here - https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-5/how-to/unbrick-tool-oneplus-5-t3648169
Edit: I should say be careful if you do have connectivity problems, as flashing using unbrick tools while your connection is bad would not be a good idea at all since it could make things even worse (maybe even hard brick)

I finally got it working. I am a bit ashamed of what the problem was, but I share in case someone else does this stupid error.
The point is: I was formatting /data inside Advanced wipe instead of using "Format Data", so ( I think) I was not rebuilding the sd card allocation table.
After formatting with "Format data" I was able to put the firmware with drag and drop from the PC and I could finally have mu OP5 working again.

Can't you press reboot to recovery and decrypt with your code so your device gets mounted on a PC? Otherwise you can adb sideload the oxygenos file. I had the same error, but Google gave me this:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=69648733&postcount=47
Use the program on all the files in the adb directory and reboot.

No; i couldn't. But I solved simply by using "Format data".

Format data is necessary on the OP5 when moving between Nougat and Oreo. I hope you flashed the Oreo Open Beta rather than Freedom. It's far superior.

I didn't at the moment, but I did right now, reverting to stock recovery. Do you now if an Oreo-ready TWRP is around yet?

There are two with download links included in the instructions thread for flashing Oreo. I recommend the Blu Spark TWRP over the Chinese TWRP. It will be updated more often.

VNS-L31 softbricked and bootlooping... HELP PLS!

I was trying to restore to stock firmware my vns-l31...
After many hours and many attempts i was able to update to an older rom, but it was giving me a lot of errrors (like the fingerprint magically disappeared after a while and so on...).
And everytime i witched it on it gave me the error "your device has failed verification and may not work properly" in red.
So I've decided to try again.
But now I am once again stuck.
Phone keeps bootloping.
It can go into fastboot, i have every driver possible installed, and I've tried a bunch of stock roms, each one giving me different errors.
Phone is unlocked (Bootloader unlocked, FRP unlock), but i really don't know what to do now.
Any help would be much appreciated.
P.s.
The last rom i had working was a VNS-L31C40B368
I tried to upgrade to a C432B414 and downgrade to a C432B130, neither working.
I had previously installed EliteROM 7.7 and EliteKernel by HassanMirza.
When the phone was working it didn't show the proper version installed but it said Elite ROM v7.7.
While using P9 lite Toolkit today, i saw that custom.bin and oeminfo were non existent.
I tried flashing this rom C432B414 but it has no CUST.img
The c432B130 has the cust.img but i wont flash.
pls send help
Also I am from Italy, if that's of any help.
dload method won't work with the updates i've donwloaded
Phone won't boot in recovery, only eRecovery. I've tried installing twrp, but only elite twrp worked and it was password locked...

OK siamo a cavallo !!
Leggi bene prima di fare...
..oops devo scrivere in inglese ...
Let's start with your latest working OS (VNS-L31C40B368 (as i see into a CUST lists, it's a kind of czeck republic/weird vodafone firmware version)).
Are you ready ?
From your PC download those three files..
1 - update.zip
2 - update_data_full_public.zip
3 - update_full_VNS-L11_tef_normal.zip
Rename file 2 from update_data_full_public TO update_data_public.
Rename file 3 from update_full_VNS-L11_tef_normal TO update_all_hw.
Let file 1 the same name...
Download THIS SCRIPT (HuRUpdater0.4zip file).
Create a folder and rename it VNSL31C40B368.
Copy all 4 file you downloaded into the folder you created (VNSL31C40B386)
If you want keep TWRP (now recommended), copy the .img file of the recovery into that folder, otherwise proceed with instruction...
Copy your VNSL31C40B368 folder into the SD card of the phone..
You should have something like THIS.
Reboot into recovery and format DATA.
Reboot again recovery and wipe everything except SD.
Go in main menu of twrp, hit install, find out your folder (VNSL31C40B368), choose HuRUpdater0.4.zip file and let it flash.
You may have to follow some instructions on screen if needed, flashing could take many minutes, keep calm...
When rebooting, device could go in a bootloop !!!
If after 20 minutes it hadn't booted, press vol+ and power till it reboot into recovery.
Make a factory reset and everything should be good. Good luck... :fingers-crossed:
I would recommend to read at least a couple of times before do... take your time...
P.S.: All this may not work because as you wrote oeminfo file are missed.
We will look then for another way, maybe making a rebrand into european nobrand firmware....

Update
Data partition was in ext4, i tried setting it to ext4 and it gave a bunch of errors.
I rebooted and it showed that the data partition was now in f2fs. So i set it to ext4 and formatted data.
After rebooting i tried flashing the OS using your guide and it all went smootly with no errors.
But now the phone keeps bootlooping even after factory reset.

Ok dude i found the european L31C432OEMinfo single sim file and
L31C432B417 firmware (three files), it's latest security January 2020 patch...
Links for download are those...
1 - OEMinfo file ;
2 - update.zip ;
3 - update_data_full_public.zip ;
4 - update_full_VNS-L11_hw_eu.zip ;
Let file 2 the same name, rename file 3 from update_data_full_public TO update_data_public,
rename file 4 from update_full_VNS-L11_hw_eu TO update_all_hw.
Names must mandatory match the ones I wrote to you, otherwise it won't work.
You already downloaded HuRUpdater04.zip file... if not tap HERE
This is the procedure:
Make a folder and rename L31C432B417.
Copy into that folder files 2-3-4 (renamed) and HuRUpdater04.zip file.
(if you want you can keep the TWRP copying the .img file into that folder....)
Copy the folder into the SD.
Copy the OEMinfo file wherever you want into the SD.
Put the SD into the device...
Reboot into recovery and format DATA.
Reboot again recovery and wipe everything except SD.
Go in main menu, tap install, find and select OEMinfo file, let it flash...
When finished go in main menu and select REBOOT then Bootloader.
Connect the phone to your PC and unlock again the bootloader. (disconnect from PC)
Device should automatically reboot into the recovery otherwise you can do
holding vol + and power button.
Now tap install, find your L31C432B417 folder, select HuRUpdater04.zip file
and let it flash...
Dude you should be ok, take your time... your device should reboot into the system correctly,
if not reboot into the recovery and do a factory reset + wipe cache.
Let me know :fingers-crossed:

Ok dude i found the european L31C432OEMinfo single sim file and
L31C432B417 firmware (three files), it's latest security January 2020 patch...
Links for download are those...
1 - OEMinfo file ;
2 - update.zip ;
3 - update_data_full_public.zip ;
4 - update_full_VNS-L11_hw_eu.zip ;
Let file 2 the same name, rename file 3 from update_data_full_public TO update_data_public,
rename file 4 from update_full_VNS-L11_hw_eu TO update_all_hw.
Names must mandatory match the ones I wrote to you, otherwise it won't work.
You already downloaded HuRUpdater04.zip file...
This is the procedure:
Make a folder and rename L31C432B417.
Copy into that folder files 2-3-4 (renamed) and HuRUpdater04.zip file.
(if you want you can keep the TWRP copying the .img file into that folder....)
Copy the folder into the SD.
Copy the OEMinfo file wherever you want into the SD.
Put the SD into the device...
Reboot into recovery and format DATA.
Reboot again recovery and wipe everything except SD.
Go in main menu, tap install, find and select OEMinfo file, let it flash...
When finished go in main menu and select REBOOT then Bootloader.
Connect the phone to your PC and unlock again the bootloader. (disconnect from PC)
Device should automatically reboot into the recovery otherwise you can do
holding vol + and power button.
Now tap install, find your L31C432B417 folder, select HuRUpdater04.zip file
and let it flash...
Dude you should be ok, take your time... your device should reboot into the system correctly,
if not reboot into the recovery and do a factory reset + wipe cache.
Let me know :fingers-crossed:

Whenever i try to install the software via HuRupdater it says
mountencrypt: failed to mount /data: Success
After that the phone booted but it had a screen that said "Insert password to decrypt data"
Any password was correct but it said data was corrupted.
Even after factory reset no luck...

As far as i know, this is only be happened because you forgot to remove security
before attempt changes...
Damn, all people here would recommend to rollback to android 6, remove
the fingerprints/password/pattern then re-update to android 7....
Wait just a bit, i will PM you between a couple hours...

*pls delete*

Damaged File System - Need Fastboot Help

Unlocked Mediapad M3 wifi 713, damaged file system showing 0 storage, managed to get TWRP installed via fastboot, but TWRP is unable to change/repair any partition. I've tried to use "fastboot format:ext4 userdata" but I get the "remote: command not allowed" error.
Is there some way to use fastboot commands? Or some terminal command from TWRP?
thanks, jf

Bro have you unlocked the bootloader and it would be very helpfull to know how you corrupted the data partion,it could be solved maybe if you enter the second recovery (erecovery) and click on download lastest firmware install or so , then after its done with the installition it will probably not boot click power and volume down wait, do it some times until you get to the bootloader and unlock it, after factory reset it should boot but first explain a little more about your issue we dont want to srew your device up

Not sure how things got corrupted, had installed Linage on it, but was not able to download files from any installed program. Reinstalled Linage and it blew up. Erecovery fails to download anything, don't know why. I followed the instructions here https://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-sp/help/format-data-using-twrp-3-0-2-t3371137 to format all partitions, and still TWRP only sees 0 space, can't do anything with it..
In short - can't see how anything could screw it up more!

which version of twrp is currently installed and normally for format matters only data partition is used, have you formated the system partition too,
maybe we can try to force install the update zip / you were on nougat then lineage oreo and then in the current state right?

TWRP is 3.0.3-0 It is failing to mount /data (Invalid argument) nor can it mount any other partition.
Yes, was on stock nougat, then Linage oreo, then reinstalled Linage and got current state.
When I try to install zip from PC, it appears to be successful - but apparently is not.

can you intall the twrp 3.3.1-0 which is at the lineage oreo thread and then try to install los zip https://forum.xda-developers.com/mediapad-m3/development/rom-t4085115

The good news is... I did that, got in unbricked, installed ROM, GAPPS... installed apps - and I'm back to the same problem I had before. I can install apps, I can download from Google Drive, but programs such as Gmail cannot download attachments. even though permission to access storage is turned on. This is all to internal storage - no external chip at this time.
thoughts?
thanks, jf

For gmail you must install the micro version of the gapps not the pico one after that it should work

It's not working for Aquamail either. Also, can't download from the web, using Brave browser.

I'm having the same issue basically storage is off limits to my apps.

The developer of the Linux 15 ROM is aware of the issue, it's on the list to be fixed.
