Help with Rebooting wiping storage

Hello everyone,
I would post this in the development thread but I can't since I am a ne user. Anyway..
I am currently on InFamous switching between the 2.4 TW version and the Google Edition v2.0.
My problem is every time I reboot my phone, it gets stuck on the Samsung Galaxy S4 boot image. Then when I go to recovery the Internal storage shows 0 MB available, and I can't fix permissions or wipe anything without having to format data first. The only way to boot my phone again, is to format data, wipe everything, and reinstall the ROM which is very annoying and time consuming.
PLEASE HELP!!
Thanks in advance

Have you tried this:
Before doing anything, be sure to back up the internal sdcard to a folder on your computer if you have anything you
want to save on the internal sdcard. Also be sure that the Google Edition zip file rom is on your "external" sdcard.
When the phone is flashed and ready to use go into settings>accounts tab>backup and reset>"Factory data reset".
Click on the factory data reset.
After doing that reboot into cwm or twrp which ever you are using and do a full wipe as you usually do but don't
forget to include "Factory reset".
Then flash the Google Edition rom as you normally have done and it should fix the problem you are having hopefully.
Good luck!

Unfortunately, this did not work =(. Again, as soon s I reboot, I get stuck on the Samsung screen and have to pull out the battery. Then, in recovery my Internal storage has 0 MB aeven though the folders are empty.

Have you tried holding the power button, home key and the volume up key all at the same time to boot in recovery? If not do a battery pull and do it when turning the phone back on

If you already tried to Odin flash the STOCK rom and formatted your internal sdcard and you still find "0 MB"
in your internal storage then it must be a hardware issue and if I were you I would return/exchange the phone.
Good luck!

It's not a hardware issue. It's a bug in twrp. Whenever you do "format data" it corrupts the data partition. Use PhilZ Touch recovery. His recovery includes the fix. Try it.

Thanks, I'll try that. How do I get rid of the bug after writing the new recovery? Format data?
Thanks!

Hello, any progress please? I have exactly the same issue.

I found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2265588&page=23 this solution:
I wanted to clean my internal SD card before flashing Omega ROM, so I used Format Data option from Wipe section in TWRP.
After that I lost almost two days trying to fix my phone. Flashed stock ROM, TWRP and Omega ROM endless times without success after that.
My phone became randomly unbootable on reboot or power on! It was stuck on i9505 logo that is shown before boot animation forever. It was same for both stock and Omega ROM, with or without external micro SD.
After endless tries, I figured out that my phone works fine if I do factory reset and wipe from original recovery. Worked fine before and after flashing TWRP.
I tired to Format Data from TWRP again and my phone again was stuck on boot.
So I did everything once more. Flashed stock, did factory reset and wipe from original recovery and then installed TWRP and in the end I flashed Omega without wiping anything.
Everything works just fine now and I will not try to use Format data option from TWRP on this device in near time! Please fix this.
First I used TWRP 2.5.0.1 and then 2.5.0.2, but it is same in both of them.

Now I'm downloading stock rom so I'll try it in next 2 hours.

bet you guys previously flashed a aosp rom, I could be wrong, but it sounds as if you did.

It says so in the OP... going between TW and Google Edition 2.0.. Out of curiosity though, what difference would that make? I have flashed and have backups of two versions of TW and quite a few AOSP variants... I can move between them seamlessly and haven't encountered any such problems as the OP. I use TWRP as well.

It was TWRP problem. I have flashed the stock ROM with stock recovery. I have done full wipe and my phone works well again. This is bug in TWRP. Don't push "format data" button!

Boot loop after trying to encrypt a rooted Galaxy Note 2 running on Marshmallow 6.01

I rooted this Samsung galaxy note 2 (SGT889), flashed TWRP and installed Remix Marshmallow 6.01. Everything was working smoothly until when I was trying to encrypt device. After "Encrypt device" started, it asked for a password, and very soon it enter the boot loop of "Samsung Galaxy Note II". Hours (over night!) later I have to remove the battery to stop it.
I booted to TWRP. But before the TWRP interface shows up, I was asked to enter a password, which is different from before doing encryption.
From TWRP, I wiped cache, and rebooted system. It got nowhere but the same boot loop.
With TWRP, I did a factory reset wipe of (data/cache/dalvik). Then I did a recovery to a previously saved Recovery (of Marshmallow 6). TWRP showed 100% successful, but when I reboot, it still get to the same boot loop.
Please help!! Thank you very much!

i assumed you did your backup in ext sd.
try format your phone by using twrp. wipe and then format data. this will ERASE all your data in your phone. then reboot to recovery and try restore backup / install new rom.
hope this can help you

You can try flashing back to a stock rom but you'll probably lose all of your data and apps.

Problem solved! You are right! Format data is the key. It was scary at first, with all those warnings! But after that, I restored my backup and everything is back.
Thank you very much!

Phone Requests Passwort after setting security to none from pattern

Hello!
Yesterday I installed Resurrection Remix Rom and it worked great. So I configured everything to my needs including setting the security to ask for a pattern on Restart. So everything is encrypted.
After a reboot the phone kept crashing and I tried to go back to my old system. Somehow I managed to set the security to none so I can revert to my old system. I then rebooted to Recovery but in Recovery it asked me for a password. I never set a password so I don’t know what to insert in here. I tried various stuff but nothing worked. I also can’t reboot back into the system without a password. It looks like my phone is still encrypted.
Is there any way how I can decrypt my files?
Can i "convert" my old pattern into a password and this will decrypt everything?
And if I am ok with losing my data, how can I just wipe everything and install a new rom?
Thank you for your help!

easiest way to delete all your data is via twrp, select everything in twrp wipe section and execute. your phone will be completely empty now. reconnect your phone to your pc and copy paste the rom and gapps and flash.

I was in TWRP and tried to Wipe just the Data and Cache partitions but it told me that it was unable to mount storage.
I thinkt that since don't know the password i don't have permission to mount partitions.

Have you reflashing the stock recovery and doing a factory reset? After that you can reflash twrp and delete data. You can try if that works.

So you think i can mount the data partition again after a factory reset from the stock recovery?
I will try to flash the stock recovery when i get home.
I suppose i have to flash it via fastboot?

I read it on xda that this process resolves the issue and yes it has to be done via fastboot in bootloader mode. Stock recovery is available on oneplus's website.

I just flased the stock recovery via fastboot and made a factory reset.
After that I could reboot back into the system without any security question.
Sadly, all data are gone, meaning it did also wipe the internal storage partition. This is a pity but I'm really glad to have my phone back.
Thank you for your support

TWRP asks for a password even if you set a PIN.
enter your PIN - it should work.
my phone is encrypted running sultan's CM and TWRP asks me for a password when I go in, and my PIN works

H815 Bootloop after battery died

Hey,
So im currently on holiday and dont get back home until the 13th aug.
I was on my phone last night until i ran out of battery and the phone inevitably died. I charge it this morning and the phone is stuck on the boot animation and has a slowly flashing blue led. I do get past the lg bootloader unlocked screen too and the android boot animation runs fine, just never completes. My phone is running bootloader unlocked, twrp recovery and the imperium rom. My model is h815 and s/n is 512 prefix. The battery was running pretty bad so it might be that. Either way it is stuck in bootloop and i am not sure how to approach it. I also have some internal storage that would need backing up if possible.
Cheers for any help

That's a common issue with Imperium ROM, check post #3341 in this thread for example. Just do a clean flash and your system is back again, but sadly you will lose the apps and settings.

Thats interesting, never thought of that. I should be able to backup any files etc from the internal storage using adb right?

Simply dont wipe internal storage, only wipe data, cache, dalvik and system. THe files on your Internal storages not gonna' deleted, just reinstall the apps you had.

Another problem is that i cant boot into twrp recovery using the buttons. It brings me to the stock recovery asking to factory reset. I guess i could just wait until im home and use adb to boot into the twrp recovery.

Yep. That's what it looks like for me too. When you select factory reset, the phone actually restarts into TWRP.
Make sure you actually do have TWRP installed otherwise it will wipe your phone.
You have a custom ROM installed so I assume competence, but there's always a chance

Yeah i saw that post and was reluctant to do so as im on my holiday. Dont want to lose my pics either, even when im very sure twrp is installed correctly as i use the quick boot app to go into recovery quite often.

Think I borked my 5t

Here's where I am. Have twrp. tried to go back to stock. I messed something up. Now when I reboot to bootloader it says something about a script and "running open recovery script" is at the top. It instantly reboots to 1plus logo and back to twrp. I can get to bootloader but not recovery. Any advice before I rma it? Thanks if you can help.

Do not try to re lock bootloader

So can you get to TWRP or not? You state you can't get to recovery? Can you useADB?

I flashed blue twrp now and i can get to recovery. But now any rom I load, even stock oos, I can't get any wifi. The codex twrp was messing things up. But like I said, now wifi won't connect no matter what I try. What a mess.

Have you tried Formatting the data partition? You might try that then do a system reset and then reinstall whatever ROM you want. Note, it will wipe all the data on your internal sd card, so you should transfer important files to a pc. You will also have to reinstall recovery via ADB.

What is the process to do this? I will definitely try it. What does formatting do? Thanks for your help

Formatting will completely ERASE your internal storage partition, so you will LOSE all personal files that are stored here. You need to backup your data first to your pc, etc.
Boot into TWRP and select 'WIPE'. Then select the button on the lower right, 'Format Data'. You will be presented with a warning screen where you will have to type 'Yes' to confirm you understand that you are deleting all personal files. Type 'Yes' and it will format this partition. Personally, I then go back and perform a factory reset after formatting the Data partition. I then reboot back into recovery and transfer over the files that I need from my PC.
Hopefully this will fix the issue for you.

Notta. I think something is messed up with it.

The way I fix the wifi bug. Flash oos And codeworks universal twrp. Then flash stock boot.Img in twrp then flash mgsik 15.2 then flash a custom kernel (I'm currently on new kernel v1.08. That's how I fixed my wifi bug. )
Don't know of that helps but that's how I fixed it.
