[Help!!!] Lost access to internal storage after flashing the TWRP and official ROM - YotaPhone 3 Questions & Answers

I've downloaded the lastest official ROM, and installed it within TWRP.
Everything seemed to be okay after rebooting into the system.
While I found i was not able to download the wallpaper from web browseror to take pictures due to lack of storage.
I'm not able to upload pictures here, so will try my best to describe the situations:
1. after opening camera, it pops out "Turn off camera? /n Insert an SD card before using the camera. /n Cancel or Turn off"
2. when i try to save something from web browser, it says "couln't save due to limited storage space."
3. opening the file manager, I do find internal storage shown at the bottom, indicating 50.20 GB/total 64.00 GB. But opening it, only two folders appear, namely "Android" and "TWRP".
I wondered if it was caused by some read-only issue to the system drive, but I did allow TWRP to modify the system partition upon booting the rec.img.
I've tried a few rounds, the problem is still there. and my yota 3 is kind of a brick to me now.
Help me, please.

My yota3+ also lost the ability to write to the internal memory (possibly after I've inserted a sd card and decline formatting it). Searching for a solution only come up with a very old thread on HTC which involved commands on a rooted phone like msdos_fcsk and restorecon. I couldn't try these commands as my phone is not rooted. You can try these if your phone is rooted.

HOX+ internal memory acces problem.

Hello,
I have a problem with access to the internal memory. Quickly I will explain how it happened.
I wanted to upload CyanogenMod, of course, all I could do, I did wrong.
I removed completely the operating system of the phone is the same bootloader, in which I could get to without any problem.
I recently read in the forums by ADB upload a custom rom. So I did. I have uploaded the purely CM 10.1 and suddenly do not have access to the internal memory. The system sees it normally (~ 56 GB), but the gallery or the camera is not. The gallery displays the message "No external memory". As you know, HOX has an internal memory to which I have access. I have access to it only by TWRP. The system on my computer also does not have access. Displayed as a drive, but without being able to read and write, just nothing on it is not, despite the fact that, however, is.
Two ..
I would go back to the stock rom (4.1.1). File RUU is out because I have HBOOT version 1.35. What can I do to take back the original OS? My CID O2_001 (UK O2). Is there any option to do it without coming into conflict with the update HBOOT?
I apologize in advance for the language, but I used Google to Transalor normally write this post.

SD Card Unmounts until Reboot, data changes

So i have been having this problem for a few months now, and its driving me crazy.. I've read every thread on XDA about sdcards, but nothing seems to apply here
When I reboot, my phone launches External2Internal so my 32GB SD can be used as my internal drive, and I've used it fine for a very long time.. but recently the sd card just disappears after some period of time. it seems to happen whenever my phone goes to sleep or the screen goes off and is locked, i suppose
after I reboot the phone it works fine again..
I quite think its from a malicious program.. but I cant be sure
recently, I installed a bunch of sd card tools to rescan, remount, test etc.. and I also installed an External2Internal update... and after all that, the sdcard contents appear to have been deleted, even after multiple reboots, when viewed with ES File Explorer.. However all the contents appear in good condition when viewed with Total Commander.. .
and since all that tinkering, because the sd card seems on some level to be deleted, programs like avast are getting corrupted errors on their virus scans, such as "invalid context during scan".. an error it doesnt get when the sdcard is unmounted completely, but only now that it mounts as appearing mostly empty to es file explorer and probably most other programs.
so it seems like one of the USB tools or the External2Internal update has done something malicious to my card... or maybe it was a last ditch effort by some dorks malicious code from a program i deleted in trying to get this all sorted out
anyone else having this problem or know how it can be fixed?
and I prefer to try and find out what is causing the problem and fix that problem, rather than just reformatting the card or buying a new card, since i'm sure it will just happen again someday
thanks

This happens to me as well, the only difference is that I don't use External2Internal but the jellybean option "default write disk: SD card"

Internal Storage Full After Factory Reset

Hi,
I have a Huawei Ascend G6 (U10) and rooted my device with TowelRoot 3.0
When you get a new phone it's custom to first fully charge your device and then let it fully deplete before fully charging it again to make sure you use the full capability of your device's battery. (during this time I rooted my device) Now, while it was at only 3% of battery I was playing a silly game, called Can KnockDown 3. While playing this game, my device turned off due to no battery. After it fully charged again, I tried to run the game again but it got stuck on the initialisation screen.
No big deal, I thought. So, I went on and just un-installed it and tried to re-install it. Problem is, I got Google Play error 492 when I tried to download/install the game once more. So I restarted my device, tried to un-install the Play Store and tried a hard reboot. None of those worked.
After some reading I got to know that I had to install an app called "ROM manager", boot into Recovery Mode and delete the Dalvik Cache (Which was said to be located in "Settings". Now, I don't know much about phones, nor Android. So that proved quite difficult. I went into Recovery Mode but was unable to find the "Settings" tab. So, I wiped Cache and the other setting. Can't quite remember. When I rebooted it, the problem was STILL not solved.
Now, I never noticed the REAL problem because I had my external SD card mounted.
This morning, I wanted to change my profile picture on an app called What's App Messenger. It gave me the following error: "Failed to load image data, please try again later." That really bothered me and after a reboot the problem was still not solved. I quickly realised that all my pictures were on my external SD so I turned off my phone to take it out. Booted it without external SD. Tried to make a picture with my camera, but it said "Internal Sotrage full. Please insert an SD card." but when I went to my filemanager there was NOTING on my internal SD. No maps, nothing. However, in my settings it says that only 1.98 GB of the 4 GGB internal storage is used...
Could someone please help me with this?
try using DiskUsage app, it shows every folder in your phone and how much space they take, also if you have rooted your phone, it shows wich system folders take most of the space (logs and tmp folders, safe to erase)

I appreciate your reply, but I don't think that's the problem. I think my internal SD card is f***ed up now. I've tried wiping it all I want but to no avail. Probably something went wrong with rooting it, or installing ClockWorkMod or something. I don't know.
What I do know is that I need help!
Have you found a solution

[Q] my phone's internal memory has been set to "read-only"

This is happening to me. Any help on how to set interneal memory to read and write. i cannot save any file to my phone from any apps.
I'll apreciate your help.
"Let me first apologize for the length of this but hopefully someone will be able to help. I have a Sprint Samsung Galaxy S3 SPH-L710 running 4.4.2. I recently attempted to use CMInstaller to load Cyanogenmod (I use otter1 on my Kindle and love Cyanogenmod and I really dislike Samsung's OS and bloatware) but it failed. It would get to the point of "Loading OS" and then the android picture on my phone was laying flat with a red triangle over its chest (I'm guessing that means error). CMInstaller then completed and said everything was successful. My S3 then gave me two yes/no questions but no matter what I answered, it eventually just returned to the stock Samsung OS with no root or superuser. From what I have been reading, this is due to Knox and I need to root my phone and remove Knox. I've found several helpful forums on xda-developers on rooting my phone and deleting Knox.
My issue though is that apparently somehow my phone's internal memory has been set to "read-only" or affected in some other way. The phone still works as a phone and it has allowed me to install apps and I can transfer files to and from both the internal memory and the SD card using my computer. But I've noticed that some apps are acting very strangely.
Amazon Kindle: will not download any books or register that I transferred ebooks to the Kindle folder (and yes, they are in the right folder and the right formats). When I attempt to download a book, the pull down menu for the phone gives me an error of "N/A - Download unsuccessful. Tap to try again." When I tap on that, it goes to a download screen that just sits there and does nothing. If I click on the book in the Kindle app it gives me an error of "Unable to Download. A network connection is required to download your Kindle title. Please connect to a network and try again." During these errors I have network connection (I am able to get online using the Dolphin browser) and have tried multiple different wifi networks and Sprint's network in many different geographical locations. I have tried using my wife's Amazon account on my phone with the exact same result.
Dolphin browser: Will not download anything to the internal memory (immediately results in a "Download unsuccessful") and fails to recognize my external SD card (when attempting to choose it as a download location it displays the message "Can't find file or directory. Please make sure your SD card is ready, and USB Mass Storage is turned off.") My phone is not connected to my computer during this.
Google Drive: Immediately fails to download any file.
doubleTwist: When attempting to set the music location to internal memory, doubleTwist says "It appears that your device has been set to read-only." Can access the SD card and play music found there.
All of the stock Samsung applications can access both internal memory and the SD card with no problem. The camera can save pictures to the internal memory and the SD card, the stock browser can save files with no problems, the voice recorder can record and save without issue and My Files can move, copy and delete files on both the SD card and the internal memory. It could argued that I just use Samsung's apps but I hate Samsung's apps and most of the time there are all hidden/disabled.
All of this started after CMInstaller failed. Is there any way to fix this? More importantly will this stop me from (or mess up) rooting my phone, obliterating Knox and loading Cyanogenmod? Part of me just wants to leave the phone as is since it still works (for the most part) but another, bigger part of me wants to remove Samsung's hold on my phone even more than before."
Hi,
I will have your thread moved to your device section so those that own your device can help.
Good luck!
Problably your problems are caused by CM-installer. Espec., because it tries to change recovery, too. Very comfortable, very fragile. I suggest to rebuild everything. You loose all your settings and data except those on extSdCard. Btw: there is no Knox on S3.
Save your data, as much as possible.
DownloadMode. Flash the newest firmware with Odin.
RecoveryMode. FactoryReset.
You should have a working system now. If yes:
DownloadMode. Root with cfAutoRoot and Odin.
Flash TWRP2.8.1.0 with Odin.
FullWipe. Flash any custom-rom, you want. FactoryReset.

D618 with CM13 storage not working

Hi, I have a problem with my D618. I'm running CM13 with the adoptable storage option, and I seem to have some problems with it.
I can't seem to be able to download anything, I've tried updating apps from the store and it tells me I can't (error 963), if I try to download a new one it just gets stuck on "download pending". I can't download from the browser either. I can't seem to be able to copy files from my PC to the SD (I assume that when using adoptable storage the files copied go to the SD), but I was able to copy from the SD to the PC. I can't take pictures or screenshots either, or view pictures from my gallery. I am able, however, to listen to audio files I have on the SD. All apps seem to be working ok otherwise (except Instagram, but that's probably an unrelated problem that has been happening since a few days ago).
I tried rebooting the phone but I didn't try anything else just in case I may mess up my SD.
I noticed the problem earlier today after trying to download an apk and failing, if that's any help.
Edit: I tried this and it didn't work
Edit 2: Can't format the SD back to portable, ejecting and then mounting it again doesn't work either
Edit 3: Turned off phone, removed SD, tuned it on, inserted SD, formatted as portable and when the phone rebooted it told me the SD is corrupted. Now I'm trying to format it as internal again.
Edit 4: The format time-outed, I'll try to use another SD card
Edit 5: The other SD card isn't working either. I think I'll try a factory reset...
