Hi
I have a problem with my Mi5s plus.
I have updated my rom.
I can boot with my custom rom I just installed. It is ok. I can browse the directories with the file manager. I can use the stock browser, SMS...ok
But when I want to install GAPPS (That I downloaded before)(I know it's no longer called that) with TWRP, I no longer see the installation file, the ZIP. The directories are empty with TWRP but accessible and with files with the Android file manager.
So I can't install applications without open apps.
Of course, when I want, by example, to delete cache I have theses messages : unable to mount /data (invalid argument), error 8 etc.
Help me?
I hope to be able to recover the data so that when I reinstall my applications. I have the data.
Thank you again.

In TWRP, go to mount and see if data is mounted.
No, it is not mounted in TWRP (But, in Android, it is OK, il see my datas)
But, I can just check :
DSP
System
Cache
Cust
Persist
But I am not able to check
Data
USB OTG.

I have flashed things that did not properly unmount a partition afterwards so I could not mount it in twrp. Try flashing something that mounts data, if not mounted, then unmounts data properly.
Maybe my TWRP is deprecated ?
I have flashed a ROM 8.x then, my TWRP is old : 3.0.2.x By XM maybe ?

Hi,
My TWRP was too old, deprecated. It is OK now.
Thanks.

I'll appreciate if someone could help me here as I'm new to ROM flashing etc.
I have the stock ROM atm and want to install CyanogenMod 10.1.
I have read the guide but there are a few points that I'd like to clarify,which are not really explained in the guide.
I understand that I have to wipe everything to install the new ROM.
I have TWRP and have just made a full backup, after installing the new ROM,can I get all my stuff back, eg. messages,contacts,apps settings and messages(e.g viber messages) and so on?
if yes, how do I do so?
Thanks

You should use your applications to backup your messages / settings etc. if it is supported.
You need to create a folder named 0 in root of the virtual SD card and move all your contents under 0 folder.
Of course you need to flash the ROM with a compatible kernel..
After installing the new ROM, I've tried to restore the data that I backed up using TWRP but it didn't work.
Now I want to go back to the stock rom and I tried to restore my last backup but it's stuck on the htc splash screen.
I believe I need to fastboot the stock boot.img file but I don't have anywhere, where can I get it from?
Now I'm in a very desperate situation. I've been searching for a stock boot.img file so I could restore back everything.
I thought I found one, I used fastboot to flash the recovery.img file and then went to recovery to restore my backup
now all the data has disappeared ! no restore files etc !
what shall I do?

recovery.img is not kernel (boot.img).
Flash TWRP recovery image again and hopefully you will find your backups... Never tried such funny things, so not sure ...

can you please tell me where I can find both the kernel(boot.img) and twrp.img ?
and do I use the same process to flash the twrp.img file?(e,g fastboot boot twrp.img)?
Thanks
ps: I found the twrp img file, I used the latest version 2.5.0 and flashed it using fastboot but it didn't work:/

If you did not format /data partition in recovery, your data should still be there, but it sounds like there's something messed up with the /0 folder on your virtual sdcard, created due to multi user feature of android 4.2.
I suggest you chose a rom you'd like to try, flash the correct boot.img (kernel) for this rom, and then install rom using "adb sideload" command.
You should then be able to find your previous sdcard content on your phone using a root explorer and if necessary move it to the right sdcard folder for your android version:
Android 4.1: /data/media/
Android 4.2: /data/media/0/
if it's in the right place you should be able to backup your data to your computer, where it is safe while you can try whatever rom pleases you.

I already made a full backup before trying cyanmod and just to be sure I saved the folder of the backup inside my pc; however I can't fiind the stoch boot.img file that I need to flash it back to stock rom.
toolkit
put the cm 10.1 in your phone. your bootloader has to be unlocked, you must be rooted, and have a custom recovery, everything so far ? next what i do is i go into bootloader flash the boot.img then go into recovery and flash the rom and gapps.Use hassons toolkit to flash the cm 10.1 boot.img.

I can't push my files using adb sideload
fastboot devices works in bootloader
but when in twrp I activate sideload and then from the pc I try to use adb sideload to push files ,it says no device found
adb devices shows an empty list.
It worked only once at the beginning but not anymore
ps:
I can connect now; I am using the following command

is this how is done? it goes through but on the phone is says failed.
Ok, I managed to isntall cyanmod again but I can't find my previous data, all pics,music and everything is gone.
I didn't format the data so it must be somewhere but can't find it.
I can see any folder called 0 or 1 in the data folder
PS: FINALLy I managed to restore my last backup, all the settings and apps seems to be fine the backup retained all the settings, apps,messages etc.
however I lost all the music, pics etc.
I didn't format and I remember someone mentioned that they might be somewhere else, where can they be? as I can't see any path called data/media
there's a "data" folder in the device but is empty
Thanks
It should be on the root of your Virtual SD card - as it was...
However if you backup normally - music etc are not backed up.
If there is a 0 named folder in root of your VSD - check there...

yes there is a folder called "0" in the following path /sdcard/0
but is empty . I mean it has all the folder names (e.g music,dcim) but all are empty.
in Addition: If I check how much free space I have in my phone ,it says 55.6GB ,so its sort of emtpy :/

You must use a file explorer with root function and you actually have to grant superuser access for it, otherwise /data folder will be displayed as empty. As i said if you did not format /data partition in TWRP, your data should still be there.

ah sry, didn't read that. then it's most probably deleted... you can still check your /data/media/ folder with a root explorer, but it seem your data is gone...
I can't believe it, I didn't even format or anyting like that.
I had some important stuff in it and it's all gone now :/
Can someone tell me if there's a way to do a complete backup that includes media as well?
I'd like to try to cyanmod because ive lost all my data anyway, so what is the best way to restore all my apps,messages,contacts etc. once I've installed cyanmod?
THanks
change the cm10.1 name to just rom.zip then push

The only way to backup your virtual sdcard is copying the content to your computer.
So you're now back on stock rom or any rooted rom?
If you're rooted you can backup your apps and app settings with Titanium Backup, without root you should try Helium - App Sync and Backup. For messages you can use SMS Backup & Restore and the Contacts app has an export function.
After you made all these backups, copy all the content of your phones internal memory to your computer, so these backups are safe.
Then you can try any rom you want, copy back the sdcard contents and restore your backups.

These sort of backups seem to be a headache. The only good one seem titanium backup ,which I believe has the batch option but you have to pay for it; i heard is worth it.
I am back to my original rom,which isn't stock(i forgot that I had a custom rom lol) but revolution.
The app that you've suggested are very specific, for example I have kik,viber etc and these don't have a backup functionality-will I be using titanium for them too? does titanium do a full backup of contacts and messages as well?
okay, here's what happen, i've been playing with my phone regarding finding the right rom.
here was the last changes that i've made, i did this.
You should be root and you should have CWM 5.0.2.6 Fixed flashed
1.You'll need a coustom rom or a stock with a custom kernel (to get init.d support folder) [AS THIS ROM]
2.Your sdcard should be partitioned, use partition magictools to do It.
3. When you'll get It ready, download int2script in this LINK
4. Boot into recovery
5. mount and system >>> mount /system
6. go back and install the zip
7. mount and system >>> mount /sd-ext
8. mount and system >>> format sd-ext
9. Reboot
10. Done!
and was able to successfully increase internal memory.. however after doing that some apps didnt work properly.
so i decided to flash my phone to a diff. rom again, however i can't download anymore rom in the forum, i mean the download won't even start after i click download, it keeps on failing at the start of the download, i tried to download diff. rom's using my phone but still not allowing me to download any rom. i don't know what happen, but what i can say is the memory is still readable, since i can still install apps in google play, however when i'm trying to download using a browser(tried different browser already), it still keeps on failing i dont know why can anybody assist me please.. i wan't to download a rom in the forum however my phone won't allow me to download it.
Make sure you have sufficient free space on SD card.

Hi,
I have an unlocked bootloader on the XT1521, with TWRP and Cyanogenmod 13.0 installed. I just updated CM via OTG, which worked correctly, but all Google Apps were removed. When I tried to flash them afterwards, nothing happened.
So I went on and wanted to wipe /system to reinstall CM and GAppsbut apparently, my /system partition is "busy" and cannot be unmounted. I get this error all the time, regardless if I try to a) uncheck the "mount system partition read-only" and swipe to allow modifications, b) try to unmount it manually via the mount menu, c) try to wipe it (the "repair" option is not available for \system unlike for /data, e.g.), d) try to flash CM13.0 zip. The error message is always like "failed to unmount '/system' (Device or resource busy)" and, oddly, I did not find any similar issue via Google, as it is not just a "read-only"-related problem.
Does anybody have a solution to that issue? Thanks!
Alex

Hey i had this issue and finally pinned it down to the TWRP I was using. It turns Official TWRP has this issue. This can easily be resolved if u flash Squid's TWRP
Download the latest version from here:

That was the problem apparently. Thank you!
Thank you! I was having this problem as well and that fixed it.
Thanks very much for your help!!!
I was scared of loosing my phone...
Thanks.
I have a US Cellular XT1526 and was unable to install GApps on CM13 without this. CM13 installed fine, and GApps looked like it installed, but on reboot nothing was there; GApps failed to install. Using Squid's TWRP fixed it; thanks!

Should I select boot or recovery as partition when flashing this img
cannot restore system mounted read only
I have TWRP installed, but when I wipe data, encryption still is active. TWRP is essentially useless if it can't access /data to do a complete backup/restore. Can someone post steps of how to remove encryption?
You need to install a file called TREBLE-Disable-Forceencrypt using TWRP. Here is the link : https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=1322778262904004415
Make sure to FORMAT DATA in TWRP (not a simple /data wipe, a format, where you need to type yes) and then flash your new system and after that this zip.

Thanks cab13, that did the trick. Appreciate it. I backed up, and then deleted the /data partition, and TWRP warned "No OS"! Restored my backup, so all is working in both directions with TWRP. Thank You!

running on 4.2.2 stock rom GT-i9060 rooted, twrp 3.02 and unlocked bootloader with ez-unlock (fastboot isnt working)
steps I used to flash the ROM:
1. flashing stock rom and getting root
2. enable USB debugging and unlocking bootloader
3. wiping cache, dalvik cache and data, 2nd time tried wiping cache, dalvik cache, data and system, 3rd time wiped cache, dalvik cache, data and added format script to update-script before mounting and extracting files (internal storage was never included because it doesn't make a difference)
4. flashing both of the ROM and gapps
the rom is made for my phone and i'm certain of it if i'm gonna be asked about it (GT-i9060 Baffinlite)
5. Wiping dalvik cache, cache and data
been more than a week working on flashing this rom but all goes back to the bottom
tried removing the assert line
added execute permissions to the zip, didn't make a difference
recovery version is 3.0.2 and tried twrp 2.7, twrp 2.8 and cwm 5.06 but the one the rom developer asked to use wasn't booting but kept powering the phone off after showing device logo, it's on the attachements
after getting error 7 couple of times without editing anything then i tried editing updater-script myself by changing the mount order but i guess the previous is the one used on every lineage rom so that failed too
there's a cm11 rom for the dvice working but full of bugs so what i'm not getting is why the lineage 16 one isn't mounting at all although the other one do
"detected filesystem ex4 for /dev/block/mmcblk0p17
mount: failed to mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p17 at /system"
that comes right after the extracting packages script (system.new.dat.br
ticking the system on twrp gives on log: can't mount system (invalid argument)
there is enough space on system for the rom too
i'm also sure that the system block is "mmcblk0p17" because it worked with the other ROM
the gapps mentioned that the android veriob I am using after installing the ROM is 5.1 (SDK 22) not 9.0 but I ignored it after checking the build.prop inside the system img
im ready for testing if there's a dev getting a solution
I know there would be lots of bugs by running pie on that phone because of the specifications but im okay with it
if someone could fix the mounting ROM bug or tell me if there is something i missed about flashing

TWRP doesn't give you option Resize Partition but only option Resize File System - what is nothing else than expanding the related FS to reclaim wasted space.
