[Q] Odd TWRP Issue

Hi all. I am a serious noob to certain rooting stuff so sorry if this post sounds weird. I have a HTC one M8 rooted with Cyanogenmod. Its a great phone, but one thing i noticed after making a nandroid backup of my CM rom was that apparently in recovery mode my TWRP install, and restore does not see zip files. I later found out that TWRP is defaulting on the install and recover screens to my root folder which has none of my backups. Essentially, I can't get into the traditional internal storage folder which has all my zip files and downloads. Is there any way I can get around it and access my traditional internal storage again? I should note that there is nothing really wrong with the phone, I can boot into it and it works fine. I simply cannot access my traditional storage though in recovery.

Wait. Are you using TWRP to try to restore a CWM backup? You can't do that. They are non-compatible.
EDIT: sorry I misread what you posted. You can direct TWRP to either internal or external sd by cliucking wher it says "storage: internal/external" at the top when you are in recovery.

thanks but..
thanks but the issue is twrp says my internal storage is 0mb. I will double check, but i should note that i am not having a deleted OS issue that other people with 0mb storage problems have. My phone is fine its just the storage that acts works ok TWRP recovery

TWRP has some bug where it can't mount internal storage. Try to re-install TWRP, and the latest version, and see if that helps.

Its seems your right about TWRP having a bug as I just went into recovery and I could freely access all the internal storage files and see all my backups.

[Q] Marshmallow Merged Internal storage and TWRP.

Hi XDA colleagues,
I am writing this post because I have installed Marshmallow GPE ROM on my M8 and I would like to install the Sense 7 HTC A9 Camera and gallery.
As I have selected my sdcard as Internal Memory, I can't find anymore it under TWRP (2.8.7.0).
And I have see that the /system partition is only 22MB free.
Previously I had a Sense ROM and I don't have used the GPE RUU so my /system partition should not have been resized?
Someone is knowing how is the behavior of TWRP with MM? or maybe a new version is needed?
Many thanks in advance!

Seriously? No reply? Well I'm in the same boat as you, except I have a Moto X pure 2015

Hello,
I have found more details here:
https://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/3oz7eu/guidelines_for_marshmallow_users_formatting/
So, formatting SDCard as Internal Memory will crypt it and TWRP will not be able to read it anymore.
You have to rollback to External Memory to gain access again (do a backup of the content before).

Starting with version 3.0.0-0, TWRP has gained the ability to decrypt and mount SD cards that have been migrated to Internal storage under Marshmallow. Of course, the SD card has to be inserted in the device where it was originally encrypted, and I strongly suspect that you would lose the decryption keys if you ever wipe the device.
Your mileage may vary, because there may be some individual devices for which the feature doesn't work perfectly yet. But I can confirm that it appears to work as expected with TWRP 3.0.2-0 on my Galaxy S4.

Storage problem : Internal storage detect as external SD.

I used oppo find 7 and used TWRP custom recovery. I have these problem after I flashed to lineage 14.1. My storage split into 3 partitions which is 1. Internal Shared storage(ISS) 2. Sdcard0 and 3. Sdcard1. The problem is when I install apps from play store and will saved in Internal shared storage but the system in ISS almost full.
For your information, after I flashed to lineage the system that used are nearly 22 gig. Is it normal? I already wiped all in recovery mode. So why is this happening. It will cause me a problem when i want to downloas a lot of app but because of insufficient storage I cannot do that. Below is the screenshot prove. I hope someone will solve this problem.

Can't install any Customs Roms - Error 255 in TWRP

Any ideas? I've tried TWRP 3.1.1.0 and 3.2.1.0 but it just reports back "updater process ended with error 255" and terminates?
Please help.

You are using the 32bit twrp to try and install a 64bit rom
My official twrp does not support 64bit roms - if you read the faqs in my twrp thread you would know this
Read the instructions in the 64bit rom thread & use the unofficial 64bit twrp
https://androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=236353
Note - I do not support the unofficial 64bit twrp as I did not build it

Select internal storage and it will show all folders in internal memory.

Thanks.
I did that. I see the root folders but nothing in internal storage. And the size of internal storage shows as 0MB

Thanks

Scroll down
Select storage folder
Select something like emulated then 0
If you don't see emulated than 0 or the folder is empty then internal storage isn't mounted - check the mount section of twrp or try using a different twrp
To check external storage it's the same as above but you select emulated then the folder with the sdcard hex value as its name which is different with every sdcard

Unfortunately no luck. I cant see anything in the storage folder.
I have tried to mount internal storage also with no luck. Internal storage shows as 0MB
I have tried all 64 bit versions of twrp from the link in this post (https://androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=236353)

Looking at your phone it doesn't look like a moto g5
It looks more like a g5 plus or g5s
What is your device xt name eg xt1676 - if it's not a moto g5 codename cedric you are in the wrong device forum and using the wrong twrp

Yes it is a G5. Here's a photo from bootloader
FYI... when i flash 32bit TWRP i can see internal storage. But, of course, i cant flash custom roms from there because they are 64bit. Tried with lineage and Res remix. Error255 results

Try this twrp
https://drive.google.com/open?id=1MLlljM7BzMj9Da57LeyBHyg81cHdW1cB
If you can't mount internal storage your only option might be to format it
This will delete everything in the internal user data - pictures music documents etc - backup first!
Wipe - format data (option on the right)
Restart back to recovery
If it's not mountable wipe advanced wipe data and internal storage
Note if you didn't decrypt data (if asked) when launching twrp you need to format data anyway to remove encryption in order to be able to mount it
Also some 64bit twrp don't support encryption so it might not even ask for decrypt - the one I posted above should support encryption but you still need to format data if flashing a new rom

Thanks, those steps worked.
Interesting on first install i didnt get a question about decrypting.
After reformat the only folder i saw in /sdcard was TWRP. So i dropped the rom and gapps zips in there. No problem flashing from there
Thanks for the help

Unless you set a lock screen pin and enabled encryption you won't
64bit twrp has encryption issues - I think the one I provided allows you to decrypt data on 64bit roms if you do encrypt it (depending on rom)
I don't have this device anymore so I only built the 32bit official twrp when I had it
Also you won't have any other files/folder in internal storage until you boot android for the first time which is why you only had the twrp folder there

You device is encrypted, so you need to format the device to gain access to the internal storage, so format the device.
Format<format<yes.
Take a back up of internal storage, so you don't lose Data.

Question Moto g40 fusion internal storage problem help me please

when first time I flashed PE 12 rom, Twrp showed the internal storage after wiping and the storage was like 53GB after that I found Aosp 13 rom and wanna flash that to try, after booting into twrp the problem has started the internal storage shown 0mb and tried to format, successful but it only showing 48GB storage only not 53GB some part are missing and in the windows explorer it wont show up with MTP enabled and I tried to repair it showing some error while doing it system ext error, vendor error. I think the partition got some issue with it I dont know how to fix it. I flashed the rom using adb sideload only and that it also not worked properly for me, I lost some storage space in my internal storage now only 48gb available and can't able to flash properly, mount internal storage not working when connected to the computer now I can't able to fully wipe the interanl storage to flash the rom properly. Is there any way to fully format and repair to fix the partition error and to get the full max internal storage capacity.

Where does it show 0MB? In TWRP or the OS itself? If it's in TWRP, I think the problem is your storage is encrypted. So...it can't be read. Which is normal.
It shows the same on my G60. I wouldn't worry about it. I don't think there's anything wrong with your internal storage.
If you want, you can go to TWRP > Wipe > Advanced Wipe, select Internal Storage. You might need to reflash the ROM after that, so you can boot back into the OS.
Personally, I wouldn't mess with these options too much. If it's not a real problem, I wouldn't worry about it.
You can also try a "Repair or Change File System".
I don't know about the MTP thing... Sounds like a driver issue.

in Twrp 0MB,
My internal storage is now only 48gb free after wiping everything was there more like 53gb something I remember.
MTP is media transfer portability to PC didn't work while in Twrp, was working before not now ,
I have tried repair, file system change.
I just wanna know one thing that how much free space left in the 64gb variant after wiping everything in the internal storage.

I don't know man... Some ROMs can take more space than others, which means you will have less space available for you. But I'm not sure I understand where you're getting that information from. Where is that displayed.
Also, I don't know about using MTP (Media Transfer Protocol) from Recovery. If you know it used to work before...then I don't know. I never tried it from Recovery.
