Is there any way to access the Internal SD without having the phone fully working? eg. if you're stuck in a boot loop and you have to format anything, is there any way to access the internal SD and get your pics or info you want out of there and then format it?
Or do you have no choice but leave it?
Thanks in advance
If you have a custom recovery then yes. don't worry about formatting everything, all you have to format is the system files and your app data(factory reset)

I finally deleted everything. Via PC lol
I would not suggest you to play with EMMC (internal sd) since there is a brick bug. Not sure it will cause only by the script format or plain formatting. Just delete all the files IMO

1. Which CWM version are you using
2. What ROM are you trying to flash
The first thing you should realize, is that formatting the /system means that Android no longer exist in your phone. Therefore you can no longer boot into your phone; boot into Recovery instead.
The second thing: Are you sure you're trying to flash a ROM explicitly made for the W? ROM from different devices most likely will not be able to run on the W. In fact, the error message "No space on this device" might very well mean that CWM tried to flash the ROM onto the wrong partition.

Ok guys, long story short my cell phone stays on a loop while booting, I'm running JB 4.2 (AOKP).
I need to get some information from the internal storage before wiping the device, so far I've tried to mount the USB storage from CWM and it only shows my external SD on my computer. I tried mounting/unmounting "emmc" and "sdcard" (and pretty much every other mount point) whithout success so as a last resource I'm trying to pull the data using ADB, however when I start the adb server it doen't show any device (the device is on recovery mode at the time, CWM v5.0.2.7).
So I guess my question is, how can I get ADB to detect my cell phone in order to pull data from it while on recovery mode?
Of course, if you have any other suggestions as to how to get the data from it please let me know.
just mount the internal sd card
First an easier method would be to just flash the latest twrp via odin and then mount the internal sd card from there because the cwm your using is way outdated and has alot of problems. also i said twrp beacuse its easier to use than cwm and the layout is better
Hi
how can i format my Xperia SL internal storage with pc?
rom : official jelly bean 4.1.2
kernel : doom kernel
rootde, busy box and super su installed
try this
if you want to format your internal storage just go to storage in settings then click the clear internal storage
to format via pc , you need a sdcard mounter to mount as usb then you can format (note it can break your sdcard

thanks
and many thanks for the warning :" note it can break your sdcard "
is clearing internal storage with the phone is as effective as formating with pc?
info
formatting using your phone settings is more effective that formatting any other way,
phone
its more safer
it formats only /sdcard
using pc
possible chance of wipe your entire phone memory meaning your phone might as well be a dead usb stick
posibility for formatting in the wrong format, rendering your phone semi useless
writing issues if format was sucsessful
recovery format
quick but a tiny bit more unstable then phone formatting

I used the Marshmallow feature to merge the external SD card with the internal memory.
I decided to flash SuperSU but when I rebooted into TWRP I could only see the root directory and I'm not sure how to get to the internal storage. Looking at it in Solid Explorer it appears that the internal storage should be at:
/storage/emulated/0
but the storage folder doesn't seem to be in the root directory when I look at it in TWRP.
Any ideas?
Internal storage is mounted under /DATA and /SDCARD in TWRP.

Tested this on Marshmallow with the external sdcard mounted as internal storage, but it isn't mounted there.
Same here.
How to mount Internal storage or SDCard formatted as Internal storage in TWRP ?
it may have something to do with the new way of handling sd cards in marshmallow
(I know this thread is old but have seen the question asked many times but not solved).
Have been using sideload for the last month - thought there must be an easier way. There is!!
Access /data via a file manager (as root) and copy the zip to /data . You can then access it via recovery.

Don't mean to be a jackass... But, what zip file should I move to /data?
---------- Post added at 03:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:22 PM ----------
Wait, you mean whatever I wanna flash?
Yes, the CM rom zip, supersu zip or whatever it is you want to flash. Just remember to delete it after you've flashed it (or before you copy the next update there) so you don't fill up that partition.
Hey. If there is someone who can reply to this thread?
It seems there isn't any workaround yet to solve this problem
moving to /data works! thanks!
Wondering if TWRP will solve this file reading problem in the future. Also are there other folders that can be read in TWRP besides /data? Just wondering. Thanks.
hi guys,
i figured out this problem
1. reboot to your recovery (twrp)
2. click mount
3. enable mtp and click on usb (which is at the down left corner)
4. connect your device to your pc with a usb cable and load the files which you wanna flash .

that worked! thanks! after mounting the system and enabling MTP my computer could see both the internal storage and Micro SD as separate entities. I just put the zip file in the TWRP folder on my computer and I navigated into external_sd in TWRP on my phone to see the zip.

None of these solutions worked for me, I formatted sd as internal and cannot access it in recovery, and get error message using computer that file could not be copied.

What directory are you looking at in TWRP?

Turns out in recovery my phone was ONLY able to access internal storage and not the sd card which was formatted as internal storage.
To fix this I simply re formatted the sd card as external, unfortunately losing the data on the sd card.

What you described is normal.
When you activate adoptable storage the internal and external storage become combined. There is no separate external sd card as it's all treated as internal.
In recovery internal would have also been external storage.

Ummm, if I had root there would be no need to flash supersu. And without root, I can't flash SuperSU. Wonderful.
@ahmed rashid, thanks for pointing out that the device can be mounted via MTP when in recovery! That saved the day.
If u have rooted device & Su then the path of internal storage in recovery must have, Select data/media/get into internal storage files & folder
I'm using OS 5.0.2 with twrp 3.0.2, this method working fine for me check it & thanks me later
