Can't Find Any Partitions On TWRP

Hey guys, i think i messed up my internal storage partitions. Big story though. I have TWRP 2.8.6.0 but i can't flash/do anything, it won't find any partitions...not even sd cards. The phone can boot and works fine. Is there any way to fix the internal partition through the terminal? Or my only option is to flash stock rom and then flash again?
Greetings.

Hi Chrizz,
I think you have the same problem as me. Still no luck on solving.

i installed a new rom with ace2nutzer's kernel (20150821 build) and my device became really laggy too. Then i flashed chrono kernel, it was working fine. But when i went to the recovery again it flashed twrp 2.8.6.0, probably from the chorono kernel but i used to have cwm recovery. Now the only thing i can see in TWRP is some systems files like efs,ramdisk, etc.

From the zip of twrp recovery (use twrp_2.8.7.0_280815.zip download it from developer section) Extract the file tmp/twrp.fstab and copy it to /ramdisk manually, you could use root Browser for doing that.
I solved the problem with this procedure

TWRP Can't Decrypt

I haven't had any software update for about 1.5 months. I was on Resurrect Remix ROM Nougat, firmware 3.2.6, and on TWRP 3.0.1 (or 3.0.0 I'm not too sure). Today I tried updating. Things went wrong. Here are my steps:
1. Wiped everything except internal storage.
2. Updated recovery to twrp-3.0.2-1.28 within recovery itself. Used the file given on the ROM thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-3/development/rom-resurrection-remix-m-t3399960?nocache=1.
3. TWRP couldn't decrypt my phone even with the right password.
4. Downgraded TWRP back to 3.0.1. Decryption worked.
5. Updated firmware & modem to version 4 within recovery. Used the files given on the same ROM thread.
6. Updated recovery again to twrp-3.0.2-1.28, this time via fastboot.
7. TWRP couldn't decrypt. Tried trwp 3.0.3 from the official twrp site as well. Same problem.
8. Downgraded TWRP back to 3.0.1. Recovery didn't even start. Phone freezes.
I have two questions. What is causing this problem? And second, any way I can use fastboot to downgrade firmware 3.2.6, so that I can at least access my internal storage and back it up. I got loads of data in there.

Hi I made that too with this rom! (https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-3/development/rom-resurrection-remix-5-8-0-oms-t3527344) I think it is that 3.0.3 TWRP that did it! I hawe to wipe everything but i got it working! with these instruction https://forums.oneplus.net/threads/guide-mega-unbrick-guide-for-a-hard-bricked-oneplus-3.452634/ Method 2 worked for me but it wipes all! there seemed to be instructions for not loosing all but i cant test it

I have found a solution. Even without decrypting /data, you can still get into recovery (except you can't read your data partition). This is key. What I did is simply use recovery sideload to flash the old 3.2.6 firmware (apparently flashing works even without decryption), use fastboot to flash twrp 3.0.1, and backup all my data to the computer via mtp. Then I completely wiped everything, flashed the new firmware and recovery, and decryption worked.

Oneplus 5T remotedly wiped -- now only with TWRP and no ROM

I tought of having lost my phone so I did a remote wipe through google my devices... the phone was rooted with TWRP recovery.
After the remote wipe now has no rom... at boot first shows the oem unlock warning, then TWRP starts, and that's it... since the remote wipe deleted everything including storage I can't restore a backup.
I downloaded the latest signed flashable zip from here, copied it on a USB stick, and connected it to the OP5T. Then from TWRP mounted the USB Storage, and did a rom install from it. Problem is... nothing changed. Still at boot it return in TWRP instead of booting the OS :crying:
Any idea how to solve this?

Did that already -- didn't succeed.
In the end I tollowed this guide -- took a couple of hours just because I could't see the "unknown device" when connecting it in Qualcomm download mode. Turns out for some reason I already had the driver installed on my pc and didn't need to install anything.

In TWRP go to wipe, then format data and type in yes. Then download, transfer and flash dm-verity zip for the oneplus 5 (it's the same for both phones). Then reboot recovery and try installing the rom again.

This unbrick tool is your best friend
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-5t/how-to/oneplus-5t-unbricking-tool-confirmation-t3733012

Just flash latest firmware zip then flash a custom rom lol. With twrp, theres always a way around a soft brick.

I had this problem too. Everytime when i installed the rom and rebooted the phone, there was a message no os installed. This did it work.
1- wipe everything. Then use format data (not wipe).
2- install the rom.
3- select reboot from receovery menu and select reboot to recovery.
4- install the rom again.
5- reboot the device normally.
Hope this will help.

twrp has a bug and cant decrypt your data. before using twrp please format your userdata partition in fastboot by using this command: fastboot format userdata

I have the same issue, it asks me for a password when accessing TWRP because it couldn't decrypt. I've tried both the command above (fastboot format userdata & format data from TWRP directly) and I can access TWRP but when I restart the phone, I have boot loop on the loading screen.
If I don't use the command, and restart the phone directly (not going into TWRP first), the flashed recovery is automatically replaced with the MIUI recovery.
Anyone managed to actually boot the phone with the TWRP recovery installed with no decrypt error?
Thanks

What did you install afterwards? did you clean install xiaomi.eu from twrp or updated china rom?

Hi,
I didn't install xiaomi.eu afterwards neither updated the china rom. I'm using china rom (I live in China so there's some stuff on the chinese rom I can use and the updates are more swift), but it's the latest chinese miui rom with the update that came out a few days ago. I had the mi max 2 before and never had to update or re-install a rom after flashing TWRP. With the mi max 2 there were no issues after flashing TWRP in fastboot and then go to TWRP and flash super su. Do you reckon if I flash TWRP then flash the china rom through TWRP it won't give a boot loop (won't it re-write the TWRP bootloader with the miui one?)? If so, should I run the erase data command from fastboot or erase the data partition on TWRP recovery?
There's also a zip file to be installed in TWRP to avoid boot loop (can't recall the name right now), but didn't work either.
If someone has any ideas I'm willing to try on my end to figure this out
Thanks

Flashed TWRP again, did a userdata format from fastboot, then went to the recovery, deleted dalvik/cache and re-installed China ROM... Still stuck on boot loop.

same for me......... please help

Come on! Guys!
It is so simple to bypass this Internal Storage(0MB) problem on official China rom (Stable and Beta) of TWRP!
DO NOT use the "Install" option in TWRP to install Magisk.zip/Superusr.zip as TWRP cannot read your Internal Storage at all!
Just activate the adb sideload in TWRP and use the adb sideload command on your PC to push the magisk.zip/Superusr.zip or any zippies into your internal storage especially so if you are rooting the official China rom!
After that. Reboot to system from TWRP and Bingo! Your official China rom/MIUI pops up nicely in no time! :fingers-crossed:
...and the best part of it. You don't need to format data at all! All your data remained intact!!!
I'm running the official China rom 9.6.11.0 with Magisk 16.0 now! All work perfectly including the ever-most-impoartant's Titanium backup! :fingers-crossed::victory:

Please, make and example, how can we use adb sideload on PC. Thank

Nah!
I will not spoon feed. Go Google on how to use adb sideload with twrp.
In that way, you learn.

Would you like to share the solution?

You have to be aware to flash a rom after you wipe data partition you need to change data partition to EXT4 for example to prepare to flash a Rom). All of this has to be done while in Recovery before you reboot. It happened to my device when it warned me that i have No OS.
If recovery cannot be flashed correctly, try the TRWP CN version mentioned on page 6 in the AOSiP thread, and if anyone has trouble after changing to EXT4 which is required to flash Custom Rom, just change the data partition (EXT 2 for example) on the advanced wipe/ change partition option, and then change back to EXT 4. And follow the instructions on AOSiP on how to flash properly.
That TWRP worked on first try in case the others don't work.
After boot to the rom... you can go back to Revovery, and flash Nigel's TWRP, and you will not have anymore problems with wiping data and doing OTA manually. (Whenever there's an update)
