[Q] Accidentally Wiped /data, Stuck in TWRP..

Well, it looks like I unintentionally wiped the /data partition using TWRP right after I did my first backup after rooting. Now I obviously can't boot since system, data, cache, etc. are wiped. The backup I just made was also wiped. As others mentioned in the TWRP thread, it's a bit different for the Nexus 10 compared with other devices - out of the 11 android devices I've had I've never done this!
Anyhow, can anyone a solution to getting a ROM back on my device? I can't seem to mount anything to my PC using TWRP. I can get fastboot working, but not ADB or file system mounting.
Thanks

Ehm, does the Nexus 10 have a ad card? If yes, use another phone to put a Rom on it and then flash it trough twrp

have you tried mount sd storage? or you can try the toolkit in the sticky thread.

Get a stick drive, sd card reader, etc. Put a rom on it & transfer via twrp file manager

Just boot into fast boot and flash the stock images.

can you use adb to push a rom to flash?

TWRP allows you to adb sideload ROMs. Google TWRP adb sideload and it'll walk through the steps. You can also search the Original Development section and find MSkip's toolkit which I believe can flash ROMs and whatnot from your computer. It will also automate installing the proper drivers if that hasn't already been done.

Thanks for all the help. ADB wasn't working in TWRP - I believe it was a driver issue on my PC though. However, as jellydroid13 mentioned, I was able to use fastboot to flash the stock 4.2 image from google, and then boot up from there. Thanks again!

Add me to the list of people who have wiped data over 9000 times in CWM and after updating to twrp and doing it there, have lost everything. I have backups, but am having no device found with adb sideload and suffice to say im a little confused. Confused why "wipe data" and wipe SD card and wipe SD EXT all do the same thing.

(i'll look for an OTG cable^^)

i had a similar problem several days ago
used ADB sideload to flash ROMs

why adb anything when like jellydroid said you can use fastboot and push all partitions and restore to stock?

I'm facing a similar issue but my device is Moto G5s Plus.
The problem I'm facing is that I accidently wiped out the mobile's system completely, and now it does not even have an "internal storage" partition at all (since it shows 0 MB). Hence, I cannot even transfer any files to my mobile because my computer does show the phone detected but no "internal storage exists".
Please help me out..

[Q] TWRP 2.7.0.0 erased SDCARD :/

Hello All,
I have terrible issue with my LG G2. I wanted to install new ROM, so I have processed Wipe in TWRP like I did tousands of times. After that I wanted to pick zip from SDCARD to install and - surprice - nothing is there. Somehow TWRP erased my entire SDCARD with ROMs, backups, photos, everything... :/
Now I can't even install new ROM.
Could you please tell me if there is any way to recover my SD card?
Thank you

To recover probably not. But you can still install rom through adb sideload or USB otg (cable + usb stick).

install drivers like this http://forums.team-nocturnal.com/index.php/topic/1362-how-to-adb-fastboot-in-windows-xp-7-81/
then use adb push romname.zip /sdcard

[Q] [HELP] Possibly Bricked N4

My Nexus 4 is not recognized by any PC anymore... Tried 10 different cables and 5 different computers.
It is charging while connected to a PC, just no ADB/USB storage.
Anyway, I flashed Lollipop factory through CWM and everything was fine, but still the same with the USB.
I flashed TWRP recovery and flashed Lollipop from there, again, all good except the USB not being recognized.
I chose "Fix permissions" in TWRP -> reboot took forever -> Reflashed Lollipop -> Device booted fine -> NO Internal Memory anymore.
Used multiple file explorers - the sd card folder is empty. Tried browsing through mounted/0, legacy, sdcard, mnt/sdcard, etc... nothing.
If I use the File Browser on TWRP, I can see all my files so nothing is deleted.
I assume the SD Card's permissions are screwed or it's not mounted...
Status:
* I can't download any other ROMs (as now my Internal memory is basically not recognized by Android).
* I can't move files to the SD card from my PC as my USB port is probably broken
* I have a running Lollipop system with the latest bootloader, radio and a TWRP recovery so I can use its terminal for some commands.
Is it safe to say my device is dead or someone have any idea how to at least fix the SD Card mount issue?
Thanks!

I'll try. Is it any different than wipe using the recovery?

As per my understanding, factory data reset does all the wipe in one touch instead of doing one by one

I did full wipe, including dalvik. Anyway, I'll try it and update ASAP.
Thanks

Didn't help. My device is now stuck in boot loop and now I don't have a ROM to flash as the full wipe clears the SD card.

Just a quick check to eliminate drivers issue may help...Connect the phone to your PC with the usb cable, then go to Device Manager on the PC and see if your phone shows up. If it does with a yellow exclamation mark, you need to install/reinstall the usb driver.

Same problem here
I know this is an old question but I have the same problem as liorry does. I currently installed a new ROM on my N4 (SimpleAOSP), after a lot of tweaking it ended up working but now I cannot access the /sdcard folder via any app or via windows. If I go to recovery I can still see the folder is there and has all the data I had before. Does anyone have any idea on what can I do?, I think I can roll back to my previus kitkat based ROM but have not tried yet because I dont want to screw up the phone.
Suggestions are appreciated!

Op5 Bricked?

So i just bought this new op5 and tried installing resurrection remix. I noticed that my copy to internal storage stops midway so i tried deleting the whole data from format data. now my device has no Os and my internal storage has nothing. How do i fix this?

Copy a ROM over MTP and flash it from recovery.

I tried that but i still cant copy any successful file to the internal storage. It always stops midway and when i try to install it, its corrupted.

If you have TWRP (recovery) installed, I suspect you do, and have an OTG cable/storage you could copy a OS flash file to the OTG storage. Then boot into TWRP, mount the OTG storage and flash the OS from the OTG storage.

Oh crap i just realized otg is on the go lol. I dont have any storage tho, only the cable and my computer.
×I fixed it by installing the official oxygen os in internal storage, idk even though the copy was not complete, it worked. Im scared now to install custom os

You shouldn't be scared.
The proper clean recovery would be:
1. Flash the stock OOS recovery with fastboot
2. Boot into stock recovery
3. Sideload OOS from stock recovery
4. Erase all user data from recovery.
The instructions for the various steps are all over the place.

What i did now to install a custom rom is download it through my phone and transfer the files to internal storage. Now im running resurrection remix. BUT there's still a problem, whenever i video chat with someone they say that my camera is inverted, are you guys aware of this issue?

That's a RR issue, post on their forum.

Oh okay, the problem persist on messenger (fb app) but on viber its okay. Do you think its on RR OS? If i were to change OS what would you prefer?

SM-T580 TWRP issues

So I successfully Flashed TWRP on my Galaxy Tab A SMT580. Two issues I'm experiencing tho....
1.) TWRP is unable to mount my internal storage which shows as 0MB. Thus I obviously have no ROM I can boot into. It reads and mounts my SD card and the correct size shows up. Unfortunately I have nothing on my SD card and I can't get ADB Sideload to work.
2.) Which brings me to my next issue whenever I do attempt to boot it says failure to verify. Which is fixed by flashing that DM-Verity zip file. But I can't since it's not on my SD card and, ADB Sideload won't work.
Any thoughts on how to fix these two issues.
I feel stupid having forgotten to put the file on my SD Card prior to flashing TWRP

By default, the data partition on the T580 is encrypted. In order to install a custom ROM, you must first format that partition. Click wipe then format data, type in "yes" and when it finishes, reboot to recovery. Your internal storage should no longer show 0mb.

ok that worked, my internal storage is now mounted, but my SD Card is not. Now I just need to figure out how to get the custom ROM files and the DM Verity file onto my internal storage.

how can I just flash the tablet back to stock recovery and ROM

so I got everything working, I didn't need to flash a rom, it booted to the stock rom, ony issue that remains, is for some reason the WIFI will no longer turn on. When I tap on it in settings to turn it on, it just says its turning on, but never actually turns on. Just hangs there. I can't figure out what to do

anyone ? I really need to get this fixed...should I reflash the stock rom using ODIN, maybe a fresh install will fix it ?
Also, when I plug my tablet into the laptop, it says connected device cannot access data, and the tablet doesn't show up on the laptop, so I have no way to transfer files or anything. It does show up on ADB, I thought about trying to push the files that way, but not sure if thats possible, been a long time since I used ADB.
