Hello,
I have an Galaxy S4 (GT-I9505) and last week I thought lets install some ported S5 apps. Well some of them were working but unfortenely most of them weren't. Had alot of crashes and my phone was unusable, so I decided to restore back to the original software.
Before I installed all those S5 apps I made an complete backup using CWM Recovery (Version 6.0.4.7). Now when I the restore completed without errors I constant get errors:
The process com.google.process.gapps has stopped.
Google Play-services has stopped.
Google Partner Setup has stopped.
Those errors return in 1 second after clicking away......
Also after some minutes the phone kinda reboots.. The Samsung Boot Logo shows up but that "reboot" is done after 5-10 seconds. And without any need of entering SIM-Code.
I've tried many options:
Clean install the firmware (works but then i've lost all my data
Advanced restore of sd-ext but then it won't restore anything...... Because when I wipe data/factory reset the following error shows up:
-- Wiping data...
Formatting /data...
Formatting /cache...
Formatting /sd-ext...
E: unknown volume for path [/sd-ext]
Formatting /sdcard/.android_secure...
Data wipe complete.
Tried wipe Dalviks Cache
Tried mounting sd_ext (also mounted any other option just to be sure) and used AROMA FileManager to acces my files but no acces to sd_ext....
If I trie to restore again the following error shows u:
.android_secure.img not found. Skipping restore of sd/card/.android_secure
The issue is that I can get my phone working without errors, but then I've lost ALL my data like photos/videos etc...
A clean install isn't a problem as long I can get my data back, app data like data from games isn't an issue.
Extra info:
OS KitKat 4.4.2 (I9505XXUFNB8_I9505PHNFNB3_PHN)
Rooted with: CF Auto Root jflte
Thanks in advance for your help!
What I would do is to save the data from your internal and external sd that you want to keep.
Then format them both.
So in your case, export your photos and videos to your pc. Format both sd and then try to restore your backup after fully wiping. My guess is that would fix it.

Yeah that's my plan but one problem...
I can't access my internal storage, even not when I try connecting it with USB... It keeps saying installing samsung mobile driver. (usb drivers is already installed, tried it with 4 different computers)
That's strange. Can't you just copy it to your external sd or use something like Airdroid to copy the files over wifi.
Unfortunaly not... My phone while android is loaded is unusable, the errors come back immediatly after clicking away.... I think the problem is that my all my backups are corrupted... I have 3 backup which I am 100% sure of that my phone worked 100% correctly when I made these backups. All of them give the same errors now, and none of them place my files back.
What I don't understand is why your data on your internal sd would be lost when you wipe your device.
Normally wiping in the recovery doesn't touch your internal sd. Why does it in your case? It only wipes your internal sd when you select that option which is hidden in the recovery.
I have the same issue

Do you wipe before restoring?
as already mentioned, copy your important stuff and then do a full wipe including system, data, cache, dalvik, internal and external storage

In 99% of the casus there is no need to wipe internal/external storage. He would probably not have to do it.

it worked in the end by wiping everything!
Same Issue
I'm having exactly the same issue. I've tried wiping everything and it still doesn't seem to work. Could you please tell me how you exactly got this to work? Thanks
Hi, I'm new to the android world. I read some tutorials about rooting switching custom roms and stuff, but one thing is not clear enogh.
If I'm using teamwin recovery and backing up the phone, where the backup is actually saved? How is that when I'm wiping the device the backup is not deleted with the other files on the device?
If I'm checking the data box and cache box what it saves?
Sorry for bad english..
Thanks!!
In recovery mode you will see " backup " and restore " , backup will create a save of your phone , in case you brick it or had a bad flash you can restore everything ( data , system... )
Sent from my GT-I9505 using XDA Free mobile app
/system is where the ROM is installed. You want to wipe that when installing ROMs.
/data if where apps you install from the Play Store are kept, and where your apps keep their data and settings and whatnot. If you don't wipe this when installing a newer version of the same ROM, then all your apps and data are kept. This is called a "dirty flash".
/cache is where apps and the Dalvik VM keep things temporarily to speed things up later. You can wipe this at any time without causing issues.
/sdcard is the "internal storage" for the user. This is where your camera stores it's pictures, where your media player stores music, where your downloads are kept. This is your storage. When installing ROMs, do *NOT* wipe this! If you do wipe it, you won't be able to install anything as there will be no files to read from!
/ext-sd is s folder that represents an external Micro SD card, if your phone supports that feature. Works similar to /sdcard.
So, to do a "clean install" or a "full wipe", you format /system, /data, and /cache.
To do a "dirty flash" you format just /system and /cache.

All,
I have a SM-G35FD which is in a bad state. My phone started boot looping one morning after it was fine the night prior (3 days ago now) and I believe an auto-update may be the root cause. I am trying to find any way to access the internal memory to recover data, however I am not able to mount /data or /sdcard. I have not done much with my phone besides adding root, no CFWs ever, and no custom recoveries (prior to today). Also, I lock my phone with my thumbprint. I did not go through any encryption setup on my device.
Details about the initial problem:
It started boot looping several times and at some point it shows a black screen with red text. after letting the battery drain (because I could not force reboot) i was able to get into stock recovery and wipe the cache and reboot; this led to occasionally getting to the security screen which would freeze 1-2 seconds after logging in.
Things I have tried (19mar2017)
got into stock recovery, wiped cache, rebooted. Freezes at security login screen
Installed TWRP to get more functionatity. Was able to install TWRP
used TWRP to try to mount Data, but it will not mount (only System, Cache, EFS, and USB OTG will mount)
used TWRP to wipe Dalvik and Cache only. Errors show "cannot mount /data"
used TWRP to install CWF, freezes during extraction (4-5%)
can use ADB to run shell
UPDATE 20mar2017: Ran "Wipe -> Advanced Wipe -> *Select System Partition -> Repair or Change File System" on /system. I think this was a bad move as now I can access the /sdcard folder and its missing all data. I didn't think it would matter since the options under Wipe show "System" and "Internal Storage" separately.
Perhaps data does not mount because it needs my thumbprint? Is there anything I can try to backup the internal user memory partition and my fingerprint signatures? any way to access the user data?
Thanks to all for their time!
I found a video ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VJRKuQf0puE ) which suggest that I can use TWRP to "change the filesystem" for the /System (and other) mounts in order to fix the /data mount. This can be accessed using Recovery(TWRP) -> Wipe -> Advanced Wipe -> *Select System Partition -> Repair or Change File System -> Change File System -> Options { EXT2, EXT3, EXT4, FAT, exFAT, F2FS }. Since my goal is to recover the "User Data" partition, I would not perform this on "Internal Memory" but would on the other partitions. Hopefully this would allow me to reinstall the Stock FW and allow me to login to the Internal Memory to access my files.
Does anyone know if using "Repair or Change File System" will impact the Internal Storage?
Try to reinstall the Stock Firmware Through Odin, I had this problem also when I used to own a J5... All I did was just Reinstall the stock firmware... if you want to find the stock firmware.. just go to sammobile.com
Hello.
I was recently updating from the stock oxygen os (5.0.1) from an android 7.1.1 version of oxygen OS (23 OTA) to the newer android version 8.0.0 , from which I received an error 7. I have a custom recovery and an unlocked bootloader. I used the zip file I downloaded through the stock oxygen os rom, and got an error. My recovery files are encrypted, so I can't flash/restore anything from the phone. I'm trying to install either the xXx_No_Limits rom or the oxygen os android 8.0.0 rom through my usb OTG. The toolkit installs recoveries properly, but the xXx_no_limits file doesn't exit the aroma installer. I can force it to reboot after it attempts to exit the aroma installer, but then it gets stuck in a bootloop.
I can still see my phone in the fastboot devices list. The fastboot menu has productname: QC_reference_phone, my serial number, secure boot = yes, and device state = unlocked. Using the all in one tool kit I can boot into twrp. When I boot into twrp all my system files are encrypted, but my USB otg is not. I have a backup of my 7.1.1 version of android I can restore, but I can't restore it without decrypting.
I have been trying to adb sideload through twrp and the stock oneplus recovery, but regardless of which rom I try I get the following error. I can flash smaller zips like the no verity file, but I don't think that will help this late into the problem.
cannot read 'filename.zip'
Pretty lost as to what options are left.
Thanks in advance
" I have a custom recovery "
Error 7, The problem is that, your Recovery is compatible with Oreo? You must use TWRP compatible, the best is [RECOVERY][cheeseburger] TWRP 3.2.1-0 for Oreo (8.0 and 8.1) by codeworkx
because this TWRP version is universal 5/5T and also can decrypt 8.0/8.1 Oreo versions
Ok, I downloaded the universal version provided by codeworks. I then run this command:
"fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.2.1-0-universal-codeworkx-cheeseburger.img"
I get a confirmation. And then i proceed to boot into the recovery with:
"fastboot boot twrp-3.2.1-0-universal-codeworkx-cheeseburger.img"
Here is a link to my cmd commands: https://pastebin.com/ARGP6yqw
I accept the allow system modification on twrp 3.2.1-0.
My data is still encrypted throughout, so my recovery file names and file folders are unrecognizable. I then select source, and switch to my usb otg with the OnePlus5Oxygen_23_OTA_028.1.zip (1.6gb)
I get a successful installation message, install the twrp app, and reboot.
I don't think I need to flash gapps on an official OTA. I then leave my phone plugged in and charging for a while while the dots are spinning in the boot up process.
It's been about 75 minutes, and it's still doing the whole dots spinning. When I did this yesterday, it sat on the boot process for 35+ minutes and didn't get further.
Even after I do flashed the recovery file, it occasionally boots into oneplus recovery
I think everything you can do is to format all partitions including internal storage and start from scratch by flashing codeworkX TWRP, stock OxygenOS or any ROM you want, then wiping internal storage again and proceeding. Some1 correct me if I'm wrong.
Do you know if I can do that with, the all in one tool kit?
I can get into the adb sideload parts of the phone not sure if I can do anything with that.
Whenever i try to flash something from my usb otg through twrp, I get ERROR: 7. "Failed to mount '/data' (invalid argument)"
So I can go into twrp >wipe > advanced wipe> select Data > repair or change file system.
Here it tells me that mount point: /data, file system: ext4, present: yes, removable: no, size:0mb, used:0mb, free:0mb, backup size: 0mb.
Should I repair file system, resize file system, or change file system?

You must:
1/ Connect your OP5 to your computer
2/ Make a backup of your data on your desktop (Pictures, DCIM, Download, etc)
3/ In TWRP > WIPE > "Format" Data partition, you will have a warning message (all your date will be erased), confirm with tape "yes"
4/ Reboot directly in TWRP (> Reboot > Recovery)
5/ Now wipe all partitions (Dalvik/Cache - Cache - System)
6/ Put your Rom on your internal storage and flash it !
Depend if you want a official stock rom or xXx (custom rom) you must flash Magisk for keep your Custom Recovery and allow root permissions
Just wipe internal storage, don't touch file system.
When i goto wipe the internal storage it says:
"Failed to mount '/data' (invalid argument)
Updating partition details....
Failed to mount '/data' (invalid argument)
...done"
and it says "Wipe complete: failed"
I don't think it can wipe /data because there's nothing in it.
My phone now shows up through the mtp protocol in recovery through the computer. The only file in the internal storage is the TWRP folder
Hello.
I did this, but skipped the first two steps (I already have my data backed up) and it gives me an error 7.
In bootloader my system reads out:
"Product Name: QC_reference phone
Variant: MSM UFS
Bootloader version:
Serial number: (my serial number)
Secure boot: ues
Device State: unlocked"
TWRP prints out:
"Installing zip file /usbstorage/oneplus5oxygen_23_OTA_028.1.zip
Checking for digest file....
Skipping digest check: no digest file found
Warning: No file_contexts
E3005: This devices is unlocked; bootstate: ""; sdk version "25".
Updater process ended with Error: 7
Error installing zip file '/usbstorage/oneplus5oxygen_23_OTA_028.1.zip'
Updating partition details....
...done"
Is there anything else I could try?
My phone now shows up through the mtp protocol in recovery through the computer. The only file in the internal storage is the TWRP folder
You don't understand:
1/ You have FORMAT data partion or just Wipe?
2/ Your rom is where? On internal storage or on a usb key?
3/ Verify your ROM file, your rom seem to be corrupted, check MD5? Where have you downloaded this rom, it's not the legit name
1) Ok. so i goto wipe > format Data > type in "yes", and then reboot directly into recovery.
2) I have my rom on an external usb drive. I can move it onto the phone through the twrp mtp.
3) I downloaded the file from here http://downloads.oneplus.net/oneplus-5/oneplus_5_oxygenos_5.0.1/
I just renamed it. I will download it again. My new file is named "OnePlus5Oxygen_23_OTA_028_all_1801031502_109fde3709984ec8.zip"
This gives me this error:
"E3005: This devices is unlocked; bootstate: ""; sdk version "25".
Updater process ended with Error: 7
Error installing zip file '/sdcard/OnePlus5Oxygen_23_OTA_028_all_1801031502_109fde3709984ec8.zip'
Updating partition details....
...done"
I found this thread which may solve my problem: https://forums.oneplus.net/threads/how-can-i-fix-this-twrp-update-process-ended-with-error-7.501934
My phone doesn't have a build.prop file on it, so it might not be able to read the ro.display.series causing it to abort?
Will this work?
3. The rom from oneplus MD5 matches exactly with my file's md5.
So the problem is caused by your external drive, YOU MUST PUT your rom directly on your internal storage.
TWRP sees the oxygen23OTA location as: /sdcard/OnePlus5Oxygen_23_OTA_028_all_1801031502_109fde3709984ec8.zip
I can use the twrp file manager to move it to the storage folder on the root. I currently have copies of the zip in /usbstorage, /sdcard, /storage. Is there a specific folder I should move it into? (my options are: acct, boot, cache, config, data, dev, etc, firmware, license, mnt, oem, proc, recovery, res, root, sbin, sdcard, sideload, storage, sys, system, tmp, twres, usbstorage, and vendor.
Installing off the sdcard, usbstorage, and storage folders. All give the following error:
E3005: This devices is unlocked; bootstate: ""; sdk version "25".
Updater process ended with Error: 7
Error installing zip file '/sdcard/OnePlus5Oxygen_23_OTA_028_all_1801031502_109fde3709984ec8.zip'
My computer see's the file in Oneplus A5000>Internal Storage> OnePlus5Oxygen_23_OTA_028_all_1801031502_109fde3709984ec8.zip
Could the problem be that that the bootloader shows the phone as QC_reference_phone?
I downloaded the xXx no limits rom, to check if it was an error with my download file from oneplus. The xXx no limits rom didn't give me any errors when installing, except for:
I rewiped again. Formatted my storage and flashed the xXx.
It worked.
Just flash the no Verity zip and you would be ready to go
I have the same problem as you do.. thanks for putting it out there...
Hi,
Brand new T510. I followed [GUIDE][SM-T510/T515]Unlock/TWRP/Odin HowTo/Root - Tab A 10.1 (2019) and successfully rooted the device with stock ROM and Magisk.
Then something strange happened. When I open My Files app, the internal storage showed about 10 folders with weird names, all empty. I deleted all those folders and it showed an empty folder. I then went on to install some apps.
However, I then realized that the internal storage is really not available in most of cases. My Files showed (17.56GB / 128GB) but when I tried to create a folder it will say "there is not enough space in internal storage. Delete some files and try again."
All the normal folders are not there, like Download etc.
What can I try to fix this?
Thanks

The data partition is encrypted and TWRP can't handle it. After flashing TWRP, you need to format the data partition by clicking Wipe and then Format data. When asked to verify, type "yes" and NOT just "y". After doing this, reboot to recovery and you'll see Internal Storage is no longer a "0".
Before doing any of this, be aware that formatting the data partition will erase EVERYTHING on it, including any saved pictures, movies, music and all apps. So be sure to back you data up to another device or the external SD card before you start.
Worked. Thanks
