help! i am running out of storage space after messing up with twrp partitions - Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers

helo buddies!!
i am using RN3 snapdragon version.
i unlocked bootloader and installed TWRP and flashed CM13
after rebooting , i observed it was unstable, so i did "factory reset in twrp".
thats what created everything..then there was no OS to reboot!! somehow
i installed AOSP ROM and rebooted it, But soon after rebooting within minutes storage space is going to kilobytes!!!
i rebooted many times and there was no change.
everytime after wiping cache and data in twrp, storage space is reaching to 25gb and in minutes it is falling to kilobytes.
should i repair system storage to FAT ?
help me

Some images would be very nice. Plus give some more detailed description as to what is happening. What do you see in twrp, device etc.

First of all, clean flash a miui rom via miflash and select format data and storage....
After you're done, check if the problem persist and unlock your bootloader again....

Alright. First install and flash twrp from official site.
Then go to wipe, advance wipe, and then click on repair file system. Give me snapshot of data cache and system from it.

Your data partition seems to be fine in twrp. Try some partition info apps to check whether its system problem or something else.
But i can tell you, your partition table is fine. If you can try flashing a fastboot rom via miflash in edl mode.

I have encountered this problem last week, what I did was by formatting /data via TWRP (the one which including internal storage) and it gets fixed!

[SOLVED] my HDX 7(unlocked) stuck in bootanimation

I did unlock thor's bootloader, flash SlimLP, and it booted successfully.
But now, *any* ROM stuck in bootanimation(over 5 hours!) since "Settings" app crashed in SlimLP. Of course I tried wipe system, data, cache before flash ROMs.
Do you have any ideas for solve this problem?

Try Nexus v4 as it has different roots than the CM variants. If looping persists you may need to reapply the 3.2.3.2 bootloader update (which may relock the bootloader) and/or do more serious remedial work from fastboot. I have limited experience in this area; hopefully another member of the community can help if it comes to that.

Did you also tried repair filesystem in twrp? Seems to me like corrupted internal storage... Beware - you will loose data, so double check what you are clicking to in twrp... Look for repair or change file system under wipe/advanced wipe... Choose desired partition and try to repair it.
*Solved*
thanks jeryll and Davey126, Finally my HDX was fixed!

I hadn't tried repair filesystem before your post, so I did it to /system and /data. after that, I tried wipe Internal Storage, but it failed.
And then I did [Wipe]->[Format Data], it successed. Finally I flashed SilmLP again, it booted successfully!
Great

help! i lost imei data and internal memory partition on redmi note 3 (SD)

I officially unlocked my RN3 , installed TWRP and flashed cynogenmod 13.0
I made mess and did factory reset in twrp .
then I flashed AOSP5.1.1 rom, after rebooting, here comes the issue, i lost internal memory partition
it is showing that user available is 16mb!!! i even lost imei data so, it is not ditecting simcards.
PLZ help me guys!!
Flash MIUI 7.1.8.0 Fastboot ROM via EDL mode & select "Flash All" option.
You can't restore imei without EFS partition backup, and clean flashing og 7.1.8.0 is not the solution for me. It can probably fix the problem with the storage.
When I lost my imei I've successfully restored the first one with this: http://en.miui.com/thread-245598-1-1.html

Check this guide for restoring efs and imei. As for internal partition, send me some picks from twrp recovery. In twrp goto wipe, advance wipe, wipe cache, data, internal, dalvik, system, cust... After that select data and click on repair, same with system, and internal. Then click on data and select resize option. Send me a picture of this screen. Do the same with system and internal, and send me the pics.
I am working on a project that will help other users reflash their partition table using the edl mode. if nothing works, then you can reflash the partition table using this new project. But it is yet to be completed.

flash cm13 without rooting.. can i ????..

hellow everyone i have le max 2 x821 indian version, thats highly encrypted,..
i tried to root and unlocked the bootloader..
installed twrp successfully, but the encryptions not allowing to twrp to mount internal storage data,
i tried installing supersu through sideload but didnt worked the rooting is being prevented by encryptions as it shows there..
so , i cant root but i badly want to inatall cm13 on my device can i do that by using sideload without rooting as bootloader is opened.... will it affect my device if i try doing that.... please people help...:crying::crying::crying:
You need to erase the internal storage to have it decrypted. After installation of indian ROM, the phone's internal storage becomes encrypted. In order to decrypt it back, make sure you save everything from your phone inside a computer, then in TWRP, erase/format the internal storage, copy the new ROM that you want to flash via TWRP (you won't have any system installed so you can't reboot otherwise you'll endup in some bootloop). You can Enable MTP to see the device in computer. After you have copied the new ROM, flash it and enjoy. This is my experience on X820 after flashing indian ROM, so I'm not very sure if all described above will work on X821 but you can give it a try. If you brick your device, there is a fix for hard brick as well, so, no worries.
problem decrypting..
I tried it by doing format system.. but it didn't got decrypted... N everything remained same...

In TWRP you need to press "Wipe", then "Advanced Wipe" and select "Inernal Storage", then swipe to wipe. Do note that everything on your phone will be erased, contacts, photos, music, etc. Wiping only system won't decrypt anything.
not working..

i booted into twrp then selected wipe->advanse wipe-> internal storage and then swiped to wipe,..
then it showed wipe failed unable to mount something...
Try to check in Mount and see if you can change something that can help.
Also someone with X821 maybe can help in this matter.
i tried that didn't help..
Can anyone give me link to stock recovery, this twrp is not functioning n hindering my upgrade to 19s also... I want to have my stock recovery back anyone please give me img file of that...

If u got into bootloop with a blue dot and phone restarting again and again, simply go into twrp and flash any of the official eui 15s 16s 19s Roms by wipe and install zip.

Cannot Flash Rom / Restore - Error 7, Error 1001, Cannot mount System

Hey everybody,
I was on LOS 15.1 for a rather long time and I wanted to try RR, so as usual I backed up my system and tried to flash the RR-rom.
It did not work at all and I got several errors among which error 7 and the unability to mount system partition were the most prominent.
The device got bricked several times but I got it back to life with MiFlashTool, running either MIUI 8.5 or MIUI 9.
The strange thing is that even after flashing the MIUI-img - and basically bringing the device back to its factory firmware - I could not flash a rom.
I tried several recoverys; the latest TWRP, the TWRP linked in the LOS15.1 thread and OrangeFoxRecovery. None of them would work. I wiped all partition, nothing worked. I got different errors shown, most of them were error 7 or not being ablke to mount system, as stated before.
Right now I am back to MIUI and rooted it, which worked from OrangeFox, but I actually would like tzo run a custom rom again.
Any idea what I could do?
Cheers!
Noone who has an idea why it would not work?
I thought that after flashing via Flashtool the phone would be as good as new and all prioir changes would be gone? Wha can I not flash anything via recovery and get erros?
Or are there different versions of Orange Fox Recovery? RR would be treble, so I would need a treble recovery.
Cheers!
Have you tried to format internal storage?
If not backup data in sdcard or pc and format it using recovery.
Are you using trble supported recoveries?
Did you encrypted your data while using Lineage OS?
Hey,
well, yes, I encrypted data but since reinstalling MIUI via Flashtool this is gone. And I thought that this should be enough and reflashing it via MiFlash is like a factory reset? Is there anything I did not consider?
After Flashtool did not do the trick, wiped everything but External memory in TWRP, no kelp either.
I also did the normal wipe (where you dont have to choose which partition), this did not help.
As I said, I am currently on the latest OrangeFox Recovery but I also tried the latest TWRP and the TWRP in the LOS 15.1-Thread, which did not help.
To my knowledge all of the are treble recoverys?
I also tried to restore a vackup of LOS which did not work...
I flashed

When you reply quote, I didn't get notifications for your reply.
Your bootloader is unlocked and you installed Twrp recovery.
Try copying Rom zip to SD card and wipe system, data, cache, dalviks cache, internal storage (exclude sd card off course). Then install it.
It should work
As I said, I did all of this, yet it does not work.
After wiping I tried to flash RR rom...
I get "Patching system image unconditionally...
Then I get E1001: Failed to update system image. (in white)
Updater process ended with: ERROR 7 (in red)
Error installing zip file 'patch...' (in red)
Updating partition details (in white)
Failed to mount '/system' (Invalid Argument) (in red).
As I said, that happens with different recoverys and different roms (treble and non treble)

Are you sure the Rom you installating is for your device because error 7 occured if the rom you are trying install is not for your device.
Yes, of course, it was the correct ROM. Before error 7 I got error 1001 and I guess this was the initial problem.
My guess it that the problem was the decrypted partition which I did not format in twrp in my first go. Every wipe and format afterwards somehow did not help...
Now after having flashed recovery and different roms 10 times and using miflash 10 times it worked and now I am on RR. Don't ask me what eventually did the trick.

Great to know
I hated MIUI because of the bloatware and ads. Have fun using RR. If you want you can use Liquid Remix Pie its a great ROM.
Yes. I also did not like MIUI that much, that's why I was using Lineage before I wanted to try RR: Thanks for the advice for anothe rom.
i fix this issue by format data, not only wipe then restart the recovery and install the ROM, then finally it works !

If I format data, then I have to reboot into the recovery menu to be able to use data again. But this is impossible, because it gets stuck into the bootloop every time I try to reboot. Any other option to fix this error?
EDIT:
I could fix it myself:
1. MIUI latest version; flash with MiFlash.
2. flash TWRP with e.g. YUware
3. flash latest fw_vendor in TWRP
4. full update pixel expierence (NOT incremental) rom flash
5. Partitions/Data/Format
6. Reboot and ready to use

[SOLVED] My Mi9 Is bricked, need help because

Hello everyone,
Having a series of bug that I did not like, I tried to flash my mi9 with an older version of the EU rom.
Since, my phone reboots constantly on TWRP and if I go in the files of the SD card, it is big anything in it.
Basically my phone is bricked.
I need your help to get by because the only thing that starts is TWRP ..
Someone could he save me?
Based on ny previous experience with another Android devices, I think your Mi 9 is far from beying bricked. All you need is to flash a stock image through fastboot.

Uhh yeah! You need to reboot to recovery to see if TWRP is still on there. Formatting means EVERYTHING gets yeeted out the back door. When you format data, always, and I mean ALWAYS reboot to recovery, and then you can flash your vendor image following your rom.
well, i flashed the android 10 version from "mi dot com/global/androidqbeta" , then i wanted to go back to the pixel experience rom and it didn't boot, it boot loped to twrp, so, I wiped all the partitions, and tried to flash the global version that came with the phone and it gives me the error "vendor error flashing" and then on another try after flashing the vender through twrp "system error flashing", then I formated all the partitions and then tried with the miflash tool version 2018-5-28, and it says device mismatch, but I am sure I have the mi 9 cepheus, 64gb 6gb ram, do i try flashing it with the European version ? i remember it came with the global version ...
[edit]
well, i solved it by making sure i had the same name on the folder that i had on the decompressed folder .. i've never encountered such an error
hope this helps someone ahah
