After flashing TWRP when i reboot into recovery the twrp doesn't see my internal storage content. how to solve it?
You don't, you can't access your internal storage from TWRP.
If remember correctly OnePlus implemented the encryption incorrectly or something along these lines.
Needs otg USBC flash drive if you don't want to sideload via pc

Hi, I did factory reset, installed nAOSP 5.1 by TWRP and restart device, I forgot to install GAPS so I reboot again in recovery but I can see only TWRP folder on /sdcard, on computer when conntected through usb still can`t see nothing except TWRP folder on internal storage and it said 1,77GB free of 1,96GB, I guess TWRP somehow deleted my internal storage, ****.
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.
Hello, some time ago i posted something about my bricked phone, i did it again but not so badly.
So basically i tried to flash a GSI, and i kind of succeeded, the Phone starts and it asks me to put the password to start android, when i put it works but it says that the password i put was correct but the data was corrupt, i can go to TWRP and go in the files of an SD Card i have but, i cannot put anything in my internal storage via pc but luckily i have a chromebook, it also doesn't transfer to the internal storage, i tried to connect to my pc multiple times but it didn't work, so i want to know if i can re-install the Stock Rom via sd card with the help of my chromebook (it has 4gb)
If you are coming from Stock to GSI, you may encounter this encryption problem. The easiest way is to flash stock recovery after flashing GSI. Then boot, and when it asks you to enter password, and it fails, it tells you to reboot and the stock recovery will format your internal storage (TWRP can't).
If you want to get back to stock, just flash some stock firmware in fastboot (wiping data)
TWRP actually CAN format encrypted storage. It justs happens it won't work at the first try. You have to format two to three times, and on each format you need to reboot to TWRP until you format again and the red letters (errors) stops appearing. I do this all the time with 64-bit Treble TWRP and has never failed after doing this process.
Hello was wondering if someone could help with a few questions.
1. -What is the safe way to factory reset a rooted firestick? I don't want to lose root (magisk) and just want to wipe out everything to get a clean start.
2. I am wanting to expand the internal storage via OTG cable. I installed root/custom kernel and the mod for it to recognize FAT32/NTFS. It shows some apps with the USB icon in the management apps but doesn't show the space. I'm also unable to open via ES file explorer. I did one microsd before root with the method to use a USB via sm commands on a drive and can't see that that through ES file explorer. After root I formatted another microSD with fat32 and i can browse through that without a problem. Shouldn't it show the amount of space used on the USB before root or after if it's updated?

1.adb reboot recovery
2.make sure you have your chosen firmware and magisk 21.1 on firetv sdcard. adb push or download it to a USB drive and mount in twrp.
3 once you're in twrp recovery :
twrp wipe /system, data, dalvik, cache
4. twrp install nameofyourrom, twrp install magisk
5. Once they've installed, wipe cache, wipe dalvik
6. Reboot
7. Go through the setup process and navigate to settings, then enable adb debugging/unknown sources and disable OTA updates:
adb shell
pm disable com.amazon.device.software.ota
pm clear com.amazon.device.software.ota

For a guide to USB storage
Android/FireTV recognize FAT32 naturally but you won't see NTFS (Windows Format) within android. The MicroSd cards aren't great coupled with USB card reader on OTG... Best use a normal USB flash drive
Hope this helps

Thanks. So this effectively removes operating system completely unlike doing from the os itself. Curious What happens if it's factory reset there? Bootloops and loss of root?

Yes a full "advanced wipe" wipes everything /system (os) data , dalvik , cache ..
Factory reset (default mode when you select "wipe") only wipes data , dalvik and cache leaving /system Amazon (os) intact. Ultimately restoring factory defaults
When you boot to recovery always make sure you have replacement firmware at hand to adb push to Firetv /sdcard or otg usb (incase you cant connect through adb somehow).
You should always do the entire process within twrp hitting the "home" button after each task is complete.
when youve done your wipe/reset and installed your new firnware.zip along with magisk , only then do you reboot (and hope )
If somehow it boot loops then you can get back to twrp by plugging otg cable in to access recovery menu , or if it comes to it just short again only takes a few minutes
Is there a way to backup internal storage via fastboot/recovery? Or if I can boot into OOS to the lockscreen, but cannot get past that or accept debugging requests from the computer? About to have OnePlus do a remote flash for a bricked phone, which I think may wipe my internal storage if I'm not mistaken. Absolutely cannot have that gone.
If we had TWRP recovery, I could do all of this no problem via adb, but for some reason, we still don't have TWRP for our device and this is a huge problem for me at the moment after what was supposed to be a simple OTA update resulted in my device being bricked.
