can transfer files from Android phone to OP3 in twrp rovery? - OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers

My OP3 unlocked and TWRP flashed , internal storage formated to f2fs, when I tried to connect with PC not connected, adb devices - no response. Unable to connect with computer. No files in internal storage, Any other way to transfer files to internal memory?
OTG also not working.

You should be able to transfer files to the device with TWRP booted. It's how I clean flash my device. I booted into TWRP, wipe everything, reboot the device back into TWRP, then transfer the fresh files and flash.
I'm also pretty sure internal storage isn't one of the partitions you should format to f2fs. Last time I heard it's only data and cache you should do it for.

Try connecting the phone in bootloader mode.
If your phone is identified, you can flash recovery once again and proceed further.
Another option if phone is connected in fastboot would be to flash the image files with fastboot flash *** commands
As the previous poster said, internal storage would not be in f2fs. This is just a wild guess, but may be this is the reason it is not showing in windows? if you do not have anything stored, perhaps you can change the file system back to ext4 and check ?
Updating the drivers might also help....

Also did you mount the partition and enable mtp within TWRP?

Are the Adb drivers properly installed on your pc. If not than just search the threads for one plus drivers and then try to connect through ADB.
Do you have USB OTG cable.. You can connect that to device and transfer the files using TWRP file manager in Advanced options.

I just connected my op3 via USB cable and then adapter and to my Nexus 6 then I transferred files from there. No computer needed.

Copying internal storage's data from CWM

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

[Q] HTC ONE X 4.2.2 Recovery

I have lost all my files in Phone storage, by mistake i have don a factory reset enabling format phone storage
Tried almost all post to recover data files. since my phone is loading as MTP in windows no recovery software is recogonising it.
Need help on this.
Is there an option to re enable USB mass storage ?. i tried almost all posts regarding this from XDA and other forum which didn't work for me.
is there any software which recognize MTP devices and recover data files?
All posts have suggestion like enable something. I need a real solution which work on HTC one X JB 4.2.2.
Somebody please help.
Are you able to use custom recovery?
Are you able to use fastboot/adb commands?
I suggest you download Phil'z recovery, and flash it through fastboot, then mount USB storage, copy your ROM to sd card, and then flash it, as you would ususally do.

[Q] Corrupt Internal Partitions? Won't Mount or ADB.

In TWRP, it reads "E: Unknown File System: 'datamedia'" - It's referring to data/media but it's missing the /. I can't load ADB or download mode because it wont mount. At first, i thought it was the micro USB port, so I changed it. Nope. I did get Cyanogenmod installed (It was blank) because USB worked ONCE. I can't get it to work again......
All I need to do is restore my EFS partition because I cant get Wifi right now but without USB, I can't... I have the backup EFS on my computer. Anyone know what I can do?
(It's not activated on sprint btw - that's why Im not concerned about the network)

Did you try wiping everything including internal storage? I am not sure where that option is in twrp, maybe under advanced?
Also, when you replaced the usb port, did anything get crossed? Does the phone charge?

The phone charges. I tried wiping internal storage in the first place, but now i'm afraid to wipe it again because ADB doesnt work to get everything back.

I see, what about a reset via bootloader?
Then again I think that would cause the same result. A bootloader factory reset would wipe everything.
Have you tried using a different computer? Sometimes if you're on windows it has different drivers for each mode and can't always install them correct if there is a conflict. Try a computer that you never hooked the phone up to to see if anything registers.
Are you able to get into download mode on the phone? or just recovery?
Just found this, thought since it was the same problem you have that it might help.

[Q] Bricked Ascend P6-U06

Hello there,
I made the mistake of wiping the internal storage using TWRP.
I am unable to enter recovery mode with the button hold options (tried all variations). The only way I was able to get into TWRP was adb reboot recovery. adb connection is now gone and the phone is stuck at the boot screen.
I can get a fastboot connection and the bootloader is unlocked. So I flashed the boot partition with a stock boot.img and the recovery partition with a stock recovery.img (even though I can't enter the recovery partition).
the phone never gets past the boot logo. Is there a way to directly flash a system.img vie fastboot, so that the device can be used? I am kind of stuck here.. read several threads for the past 2-3 hours, tried to reinstall TWRP as recovery but cant boot into it, etc.
I downloaded the B510.zip and was wondering if there is a way to burn an .img out of that and flash the system partition. But maybe that doesn't make sense at all.
Any help is greatly appreciated
update
Alright then, I managed to boot into TWRP!! a previous version worked.
it shows: Custom storage (498MB), Internal Storage (0MB), External Storage (0MB)
i am now proceding to install the zipped 510 rom from huawei. unfortunately i must have lost my microSD so i am lefti with sideload and otg.
sideload doesn't work because i can't find my device with adb. only fastboot seems to work, i dont know the reason but i understand its normal for my situation.
i only have an unpowered otg cable. from what i read that won't work, but I'm giving it a try and currently load the zip on a usb flashdrive.
do i understand correctly that the overall storage just appears to be 498MB? my partition table must be fairly messed up if that is the case. are there other partitions not shown by TWRP?
what do you recommend besides/instead of getting a microsd?
kind regards
update #2
I managed to mount the internal storage as mtp and copied the zip into the pictures folder, because i had no writing permission for the parent dir.
i tried to install, but the first time i got an error that cache could not be mounted. i cleared the dalvik cache and retried.
this time i had another error message as you can see in the screenshot.
adb still does not work, so sideload is not an option. i can also mount the custom partition but it is just under 500mb while the rom zip is 7xx mb
any help would be greatly appreciated
Resolved
I managed to solve it. Installed the paranoid android rom from the pictures dir. it was under 500mb and worked fine.

Can't find internal storage in TWRP once external SD card is merged with internal

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.

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
