Hello,
I cannot wipe data trough CWM, and cannot install new ROM (it boots forever).
Looks like I have got internal memory problems...
I can boot CWM only.
Any idea how to format internal memory thru CWM?.. Or any other advice?..

Have you gone into CWM "mounts and storage" and formatted system, data, and cache?

I just "wiped" it all. Is there any menu choice to format them?

Well if you went into the "mounts and storage" menu as advised, you'd see only two options for system, data, and cache, which would be "mount" or "format".
Which would you choose?
Somehow all that CWM formats didn't work for me...
Even after I placed the empty file"eraseData" (according to Thor) to CWM folder....
Actually, hardware reset saved my tablet
It didn't format the whole thing too, but it cleaned /data/ at least.
Any way, thank you very much for your help.
Does there exist some tool like "checkdisk" for Android?
I believe I still have to check somehow my internal memory card...,

I did an extensive search for an android disk utility, but couldn't find one, sorry
Oops, just found one, but it's only a defrag utility:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.disk.defrag.rubiks&hl=en
long shot.. but.. you haven't encrypted your tablet have you?
If you've encrypted your tablet in order to access corporate exchange servers then you will find that none of these will work until you've done a factory reset (through the annoying as hell switch flicking method )

Hi! I was gonna flash a new ROM but I can't find the usual "Mount USB Storage" option in the "Mount and Storage" menu. And being the genius that I am, I've already wiped the data and formatted the system so now it's stuck at the recovery menu and I can't do anything else.
Anyone got any idea on how to solve this? All helps are appreciated.
Cheers!
There isn't mount USB storage option in mount and storage menu?
Otherwise you can push a file in your device using adb push.

Nope, just the "mount sdcard" and "mount system, but no "mount USB storage"
Then mount sdcard and use adb push
How do I make these recoveries backup to the external sdcard? Both of them have been backing up to the internal one and there's limited storage there to begin with.

In TWRP, after selecting Backup, you can select backup target by selecting the Storage button (right above the Enable compression check box. You should see choices for Internal Storage and Micro SDcard

Thanks. What about CWM?
Notification: I have been asked by Droidriven to move my question from XDA Assist Forum to this Forum !!!
================================================================
I cannot install anymore applications. I got an error "Can't install app - insufficient storage available".
I lack place on my device, so I move app as much as I can to the External card using AParted and Link2SD.
I found out that every time I want to link to SD card with Link2SD I got a warning: "NOT MOUNTED - /data/sdext2 mount not found"
When Link2SD starts, it opens a window asking to select my SD card's second partition from the following list: ext2, ext3, ext4 (the others are irrelevant). Whatever I choose I get an Mount script error "Mount script cannot be created. Mount invalid argument".
I checked the Storage Info (using the Link2SD app), and found that all the "partitions" - like Internal, SDcard, External SD, System and Cache - have some data and the percentage of free place - except "SD Card 2nd Partition" that remains empty. There is even a label that says "NOT MOUNTED".
I searched my phone trying to find the "sdext2" to mount it (how do I do it?) - but I couldn't find it. This is an CATCH 22 situation :laugh: I cannot download and install app but I can continue to use my phone with a lot of app removed!
Is there a way to delete the /data/sdext2?
is there a way to mount the ext2?
How can I repair it?
Somebody with some help?! Please, don't recommend me to use the frightened FACTORY RESET - I had enough of this solution!
thanks, Roby

Answer to Droidriven:
Do you have root explorer set and mount R/W set correctly?

I use Root Explorer. I found "sdext2" ! It is under "root" as follows: "/data/sdext2". Its permissions are "rwxrwx--x". I unchecked the last "x" (it shows on the column of Other Execute) but it didn't saved! Why?
Are you sure you followed instructions to setup Link2SD correctly?

I don't remember I believe so. I bought the Link2SD Plus more than one year ago.

So is this a stock rom we're talking about?

I cannot install anymore applications in my GT-i9505
My GT-i9505 fell down and seems something went wrong! I cannot install anymore applications. I got an error "Can't install app - insufficient storage available".
When Link2SD starts, it opens a window asking to select my SD card's second partition from the following list: ext2, ext3, ext4 (the others are irrelevant). Whatever I choose I get an Mount script error "Mount script cannot be created. Mount invalid argument".
I cannot link or remove system app. System app that have the option to "Link to SD Card" or to "Remove Link", they encountered with a warning: "NOT MOUNTED - /data/sdext2 mount not found" Moving user applications from SD Card to Phone is no problem at all.
I checked the Storage Info (using the Link2SD app), and found that all the "partitions" - like Internal, SDcard, External SD, System and Cache - have some data - except "SD Card 2nd Partition" that remains empty. There is even a label that says "NOT MOUNTED".
I use Root Explorer to find "sdext2". I founded it! It is under "root" as follows: "/data/sdext2". Its permissions are "rwxrwx--x". Believing that this is the problem, I unchecked the last "x" but it didn't save! Why?
I cannot download and install app but I can continue to use my phone with a lot of app removed!
Is there a way to delete the /data/sdext2?
is there a way to mount the ext2?
What could happen if I delete Link2SD and Link2SD Plus, I restart the phone and install Link2SD again?
Is there a way to repair it? XDA Senior members, you are the geeks here, aren't you? Please, I ran out of ideas!
I don't want to FACTORY RESET my phone - I had enough of this solution!
I am afraid that all my data will be wiped off!
thanks, Roby[/QUOTE]
Flash a custom recovery, backup your data, do a factory reset.
Or use Titanium Backup to backup your apps and do a factory reset or flash another rom.

Sounds like your internal storage is encrypted and you see cryptic named folders that are empty. You can check the "decrypt data"

Unable to mount storage ...

After flashing twrp you need to flash magisk or a custom kernel so the twrp won't be restored to stock recovery. Seems like you missed some steps on the instructions to root your device.

Have a look at here for instructions https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-5/development/rom-lineageos-15-1-oreo-oneplus-5-t3727228

If you format internal storage it's nothing shown for sure, that's the purpose of format. After that you can install lineageos along with gapps from USB otg for example.
For DECRYPT data you should not format unless you backed up all to your pc!

What do you mean by "and doesn't change ..." exactly? Are you not able to install lineageos 15.1? I don't get you what's not working right now.

At least i can see my sdcard folder right now ^^
Guys, I do the first steps with TWRP, but I see my SD Card empty when I go to install. I don't know what to do.
I have Samsung Galaxy TAB E (SM-T561) and twrp_2.8.7.0_sm-t561
I Don't know what to do... I am stuck.

Ok, I found the solution.
Format and change file system of the SD card inside the twrp, after that mount it in PC, restore the files, and it will be ok.
