So I successfully Flashed TWRP on my Galaxy Tab A SMT580. Two issues I'm experiencing tho....
1.) TWRP is unable to mount my internal storage which shows as 0MB. Thus I obviously have no ROM I can boot into. It reads and mounts my SD card and the correct size shows up. Unfortunately I have nothing on my SD card and I can't get ADB Sideload to work.
2.) Which brings me to my next issue whenever I do attempt to boot it says failure to verify. Which is fixed by flashing that DM-Verity zip file. But I can't since it's not on my SD card and, ADB Sideload won't work.
Any thoughts on how to fix these two issues.
I feel stupid having forgotten to put the file on my SD Card prior to flashing TWRP

By default, the data partition on the T580 is encrypted. In order to install a custom ROM, you must first format that partition. Click wipe then format data, type in "yes" and when it finishes, reboot to recovery. Your internal storage should no longer show 0mb.
ok that worked, my internal storage is now mounted, but my SD Card is not. Now I just need to figure out how to get the custom ROM files and the DM Verity file onto my internal storage.
how can I just flash the tablet back to stock recovery and ROM
so I got everything working, I didn't need to flash a rom, it booted to the stock rom, ony issue that remains, is for some reason the WIFI will no longer turn on. When I tap on it in settings to turn it on, it just says its turning on, but never actually turns on. Just hangs there. I can't figure out what to do
anyone ? I really need to get this fixed...should I reflash the stock rom using ODIN, maybe a fresh install will fix it ?
Also, when I plug my tablet into the laptop, it says connected device cannot access data, and the tablet doesn't show up on the laptop, so I have no way to transfer files or anything. It does show up on ADB, I thought about trying to push the files that way, but not sure if thats possible, been a long time since I used ADB.

Today I rooted my U8800, I installed Clockworkmod, made a backup, and tried installing a Honeycomb ROM, I put the zip file in my SD card, and booted in recovery mode.
I did the following things: wipe data/factory reset; wipe cache partition, wipe dalvik cache, and tried installing the rom from my SD card, however clockworkmod didn't see the .zip file in my SD card, so I rebooted my phone and it didn't start. Then I chose recovery (from my backup) in Clockworkmod, still didn't work.
I can see the booting screen (it says IDEOS), it stays there for a while and then it just goes black and boots itself again.
Is there any way to fix this issue?
What do you mean by a honeycomb rom? You need CM7, MIUI or Oxygen for your phone which are all gingerbread based and available in the development section of this forum. Honeycomb is for tablets only.
What phone do you have? a regular u8800 or a u8800pro?
Which recovery do you have?
What does the recovery do when you select restore from backup?
Lastly, does the recovery see anything else on the sd card?

Right, I thought I could get Honeycomb, I completely screwed up...
I have a regular u8800, Clockworkmod Recovery 4
When I select restore from backup, it just does exactly what it's supposed to do, at the end it says that the recovery was succesful, but I'm still stuck in bootloop.
Yes, the recovery can see different things on my SD card.
If I downloaded CM7, put it on my SD card, and then installed it via CWM, would it work?
Oh and is there a way to access my SD card without my phone actually being turned on?
If it is an external card, use a sd card reader to put files onto it. If not, get an external card and card reader!
You can try wipe userdata, cache and dalvic cache then restore backup, otherwise I would definitely get hold of CM7 from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1068766
Oxygen from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1149150
MIUI:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1354680
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1362963
Install one of them and hopefully you should be back up and working.
I did try wiping userdata, cache, and dalvik cache, however it still doesn't boot...
I'm going to get an SD card reader later today, but I'm not very optimistic since it doesn't boot even with the backup I had from CWM, so I don't think it'll bot with CM7 or something..
So I figured out what my problem was, I didn't put the .zip file in my phone memory, I put it in an external micro-SD card, because I thought that's what I was supposed to do.. so now I'm pretty much screwed.
Is there any way to make CWM search for the .zip on my external SD, or is there any way to access my phone memory without actually booting it?

Since you have ClockworkMod Recovery, I'll assume your bootloader isn't useless: Download {L,X}Ubuntu and burn it on a CD or make a bootable USB. Boot it and put your phone into the pink screen mode: you'll be able to mount the internal SD card. For me, I find Genokolar's CWM to be weird with the external card: the only time I can get it to see the card is if I boot into Android, unmount the card and then do an "adb reboot bootloader" from my computer

I'm going to try this, currently downloading Ubuntu, although I've never used it before, so I'm really scared of just messing everything up.
Thank you SO much guys, especially qwerty12.
I installed Ubuntu and put the CM7 .zip file on my internal memory, and succesfully installed CM7, now my phone booted normally, and I have CM7 installed!
Great stuff,glad you got it sorted
i THINK i know what i did wrong:
i flashed firmware that i found from another site (not filefactory) with mobile odin. i had done a few backups, but did a fresh one anyway from cwm, and moved it to the "external" sd card. i unchecked everroot--i dunno why, i was going to root with the zip file... this may have been my mistake. but i also checked, "factory reset/wipe data/wipe cache etc" from within odin. THIS may have been my mistake... well, when it rebooted, mobile odin went to it, said everything went fine, then rebooted. now i'm stuck on the gTab start-up screen. it doesn't load the boot animation even. i can get into download mode, and i can get into recovery. tried flashing a rom and a kernel on top of whatever is on the device. that didn't work. mobile odin DID take away root. so i rerooted it thinking that cwm may require root to work.
the problem from within cwm is that it isn't seeing the "internal" sd card, or it thinks the external is the internal... that's how i was able to root again, by applying zip from sd card. it worked. so it IS still seeing internal storage.
this may have already been fixed had i not LOST the USB cable.... another one is on order and en route. i can see no solutions with it as is, i'm going to need desktop odin to reflash...
so the problem as i see it: i can't just restore because i erased the "internal" sd card. i moved my cwm folder to the "external" so even though it's on there, and cwm is reading my "external" as "internal" it's still unable to access the cwm folder with my backups available.
so the solution still requires the usb cable, even if i were to just move the cwm folder BACK to the internal card once i get it plugged in. in the mean time i'm dead in the water...
thanks for any help!!!
I'm having trouble with my nexus7. When booting, it shows the android and a START. The only thing it lets me to is RESTART BOOTLOADER.
START or RECOVERY gives a message BOOTING FAILED.
Cannot re flash the stock recovery (doesn't work in adb, nexus7 toolkit)
I can flash a temp recovery and they tell me that nothing will mount. sdcard, system, cache, nothing. They also say INTERNAL SPACE 0MB.
I was changing kernels and it bootlooped. Then trying to restore in recovery, the whole internet storage has gone missing.
Is there any way to remount the storage? Maybe it's dead... I have a spare parts nexus 7.. is there any way to take the storage out and place it in this one?
Thank you. ahhh.
So, in an earlier post, i mentioned the problems caused by converting my SD card to internal storage. In trying to fix that, i ended up not being able to boot my device, so i went to restore a backup and realized that since TWRP doesn't see the sdcard, i'm in some trouble. I have a stock image that i'm trying to restore to, but no matter where i put it on my phone, TWRP is not seeing it when i try to 'restore'. I've put it in /TWRP/BACKUP and in /sdcard/TWRP/BACKUP (which isn't really my actual SD card). neither shows in the selection list while in TWRP.
Where do i need to move this so i can restore the file? Again, i can't select 'MicroSDcard' from TWRP. If there is a way to convert the card back to portable storage from recovery, i'm fine formatting it and doing that.
Hi Guys,
It's all in the title really, I have tried rolling back from the latest MIUI stable rom 20.1.9_v11-10 to my previously run V11.0.2.0 , this got my phone (mi9t) stuck in a bootloop. After going into recovery mode, I have realized the internal storage folders are all messed up, with the folders names showing in an odd combination of number and letters (Something like: 9KJJGDKJ).
The phone still mounts via USB to the laptop, by I'm unable to transfer any files to the internal storage. And as such, I'm currently unable to flash it with a ROM.
I'd appreciate any advice on this, hopefully one that would also help me salvage the files and data I have on my internal storage.

For backup have you tried running adb command "adb pull /sdcard _(here specify any location in your pc such as C:\x\) from CMD when in TWRP? And for flashing ROM you can use "adb push (ROM zip location and destination such as C:\x\anyrom.zip /sdcard/)" and flash ROM .zip from your sdcard root in TWRP AFTER factory reset and wipe system from TWRP. Remember factory reset will erase your internal storage. Hope it helps. Good luck.

Well, it looks like you phone is encrypted and the only way is to format data, and did you format data before doing the downgrade?
Do you have TWRP?
You need to format data, internal memory encrypted.
Boot to TWRP
Format DATA
Reboot to TWRP
Transfer xiaomi.eu rom and flash
Reboot

I would try another recovery, sounds like something is corrupt with the twrp version. Have you tried Orangefox?
I had the same problem. Only thing that works is formatting data. A different twrp wont work. I tried 3 different versions all the same.
Thanks guys, already formatted my sd card yesterday and then I was able to re-flash the Android Q update.
My data is lost tho. Thank you all for your input here.
