Hello;
I wanted to root my G935W8 Oreo 8.0.0, i already flashed TWRP 3.2.3 with ODIN v3.13.1.
The problem is when i'm on recovery mode and i use TWRP in order to install zip it shows me that internal storage is 0 MB
And when i choose Micro SD card to install Magisk-v19.zip and i confirm flash, it shows me in red:
could not mount /data and unable to find cryptofooter.
failed to mount '/data' (invalid argument)
unable to recreate /data/media folder.
unable to mount /data/media/twrp/.twrp.
Can anyone help me to root it.
Thanks.

I know it's a bit late to write to you, but now I got the same phone. The same thing happened to me and I discovered a solution and it is the following: download the latest twrp then the patched version of Odin, it can be version 3.13 or 3.14 which is the final one. Once you have all that in Odin disable the automatic reboot option in (ap) put the twrp.md5.tar, then put the phone in download mode and install it. Once installed, press the power button and volume down for a few seconds until the phone turns off. Now enter the recovery, then go to the format option and write (yes) so that all the information is erased and ready, you can see the internal memory. The only bad thing that I found is that the original system is not Root since the system is damaged, so you have to install the Floyd s7 version 5 rom. It is the most stable version and has Android 10, and you have to root it install later. If you install this rom there are some patches that are to record in 4k at 60 frames and have ar-sticker.

I had some issues when trying to flash xposed and ended up formatting my data with TWRP.
After formatting data, I tried flashing root and xposed again. Xposed flashed fine, but root gave me an error. I thought it was because I hadn't gone through the system setup, so I went ahead and went through the setup and tried again but I'm getting the same error in TWRP.
Could not find 'META-INF/com/google/android/update-binary' in the zip file.
Error installing zip file '/external_sd/CF-Auto-Root-hero2lte'hero2ltexx-smg935f.zip'
What should I do?
Also, every time I boot in recovery now it asks me to swipe right as if it was the first time.
Thanks!
Bump. I haven't found a single solution to this on Google.
same problem here

You do not flash CF-Autoroot in TWRP. You extract the zip in Windows and Odin the tar file in order to obtain root.
My problem begins when installing "dm-verity and force encryption disabler". This are the errors it shows:
Could not mount /data and unable to find crypto footer
Failed to mound 'data' (Invalid argument)
Unable to recreate /data/media folder
....
Unable to mount storage

To find out why TWRP cannot read internal storage... Read TWRP instructions again
Hi all,
Yesterday I managed to root my phone all fine with TWRP and SuperSU. Then after incorrectly uninstalling the security log agent and getting a million errors I foolishly deleted the stock OS.
I have download the correct version for my phone and location but now TWRP fails to launch.
I get the follows errors when booting to the recovery.
Failed to mount /data (invalid argument)
Unable to recreate /data/media folder
Unable to mount storage
Unable to mount /data/media/TWRP/.twrps
I have googled a millions things and am still stuck.
Interestingly tho, If i install the Indian version of the OS, it loads and roots no problems (I'm from New Zealand).
Any help greatly appreciated.

Hi
Your internal memory now corrupt you have to format it.
Use twrp wipe option select internal memory then format to fat32 after that again do same thing. This time choose its original format type.

Hi, thanks for the fast reply.
Iv'e tried this option, I installed the Indian OS which works with TWRP, formatted the Data drive to FAT (Fat32 isn't an option) and then back to EXT4. I then used Odin to Install the carrier firmware I want to run and the same errors occurred. Could it be a problem with the actual OS?
Edit** When I install the Carrier firmware I can't get TWRP to open, these errors occur as soon as it opens, and then it crashes and reboots

Hi hi, tried that several times. Would still like to find out what is causing the issue but have now installed Nemisis and all is working perfrctly which makes me think it's the OS as opposed to my file system, considering I have installed multiple other versions and ran TWRP no problems.
Got same problem here. Installed TWRP to flash a custom rom, TWRP can't mount /data.
Google doesn't give me any solutions
This fixed it for me:
- download stock firmware from sammobile & flash with Odin
- go into stock recovery
- wipe data and cache partitions
- flash twrp using odin
After that, TWRP was able to mount /data and function normally again

I have just installed TWRP recovery for PIE while wiping I got this error " failed to mount /vendor (invalid argument" I haven't taken any backup can't copy any file to internal memory how do I flash any rom now? Does any have any backup? .
If you use latest TWRP and non treble ROM, ignore that error and proceed to flashing ROM.
