you need to do a complete wipe before installing rom.
if you have done that try fixing permissions from recovery.

Try this
Download zip(you have already done that)
copy the zip to INTERNAL MEMORY
reboot to recovery
Format system
format cache
format dalvik cache
format data(not internal sd)
and then proceed with installation
would recommend to remove ext sd while doing the procedure
wish you luck:good:

Did you try both recoveries that you have? If it fails in TWRP, then try Philz or vice versa.

Hello.
first I want to apologize for my, sometimes, bad English!
Second, i want to apologize for my novice touch in this topic!
The story:
I've been using SweetRom for a while, but tonight i wanted to try another rom.
I loaded up SuperBean(not really relevant to this story) on a microSD.
Rebooted my phone into recovery
Philz Touch 5
I choose "Wipe Data/Factory Reset" and then "Clean to install a new rom"
Then i tried to "install zip"
"Choose zip from sdcard"
But then i get: E:Can't Mount /sdcard/
I've tried to format the sdcard, exfat, fat, fat32, ntsf but nothing worked, still the same error.
I can access the internal storage and i can boot into download.
I thought that maybe i'll try to install the newest Philz but when in download mode
my computer wont recognize my phone (i'm using Windows 8)
i'm stuck! please help me out!
I've searched everywhere for answers but i can't find any!
What are my options?
Boot into Philz recovery again and go to mounts and storage and mount USB. Then connect it to pc. Check if the any drive shows up. Then move the new rom to the internal storage.

It does a full wipe. Basically it formats: cache, /system, /preload, /data

is /preload equivalent to /dalvik-cache? but then what's the point of format /data/factory restore if "clean to install new rom" is present?
No. It's different. Preload is a separate partition and dalvik-cache is in data partition.
The option you mentioned only exists in Philz recovery not in standard cwms

So, to be clear, is it necessary or advisable to do any of 'Wipe Data/Factory Reset', 'Wipe Cache Partition' and 'Wipe Dalvik Cache'? Or is 'Clean to Install a New ROM' merely an amalgam of the above (plus added formats?)?
Thanks
It's usually not necessary but it is ALWAYS advised to format /data /preload /system and cache before flashing a new ROM. If you don't do those wipes then you can sometimes end in a bootloop, random force closes, battery and performance issues et cetera. Basically if yoou want to flash a new ROM (unless it is an update to your current ROM) then always do a full wipe,
If you are just updating your ROM (ex. updating one nightly to another) then you just have to flash the ROM in recovery and wipe cache, dalvik cache (in advanced)

Thanks very much for that - much appreciated.
I've read elsewhere that many seem to recommend wiping cache and dalvik after they've flashed a ROM? Is this something you'd advise and, if so, why (or not!)?
Many thanks

If you're updating then yes, it's enough that you flash the ROM and then wipe cache and dalvik cache.
If you're reflashing from start then you should first do a full wipe, flash the ROM, gapps, su and that is all. No need to wipe the cache or dalvik cache again

Ah right. So if you're flashing a new ROM - then clean install is all that's necessary. If upgrading to a newer version of existing ROM, then it's better to wipe cache and dalvik post-install? Why? What does it do and how does it help?

reset before installing zip, now no super su ... cannot mount usb
Hi,
The title says it all. I have been reading and searching. Many similar stories. I apologise if this is in the wrong place but this is very similar to my problem.
I have a galaxy i9505 trying to install a DjeMBeY ROM from TWRP.
I factory reset and wiped cache's BEFORE I flashed the .zip file so then had no .zip file to flash!
Also have erased my system backup and the USB WILL NOT SEEM TO MOUNT to copy it back onto the card.
I have read and read I am very struck.
I am not familiar with all the processes yet. Please help.

You can go with the download mode and install a stock ROM or use the 'adb sideload " feature of cwm recovery to install the zip of your ROM if you have it saved on your PC.

I don't have TWRP either, but it should be under advanced and read something like "format /data/media"
I ended up just installing clockwork mod and the wipe worked fine but I have still ended up with sdcard\0 and sdcard\legacy is that normal?
On the plus side I no longer have a copy of everything in both.

You should have /data/media/0 and /data/media/legacy
/sdcard/ is only a symlink to /data/media/0

OH MAN!!
What you think could wiping system partition mean? Exactly: you wiped your system partition and because of that, there is no more system to boot from anymore...
So go back to recovery and flash a rom of your choice. If you have no flashable rom on your sdcard, you have to sideload a downloaded zip from your pc. There are howto´s how to do that with TWRP here on XDA. Before you do that, you should update your recovery to the latest version of TWRP (2.6.3.0)http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2173870&highlight=twrp

You don't need to access internal storage. Just have ADB installed on your cpu and make sure it reads your device. Reboot into recovery go into adb sideload and push a Rom from the terminal of your computer. YouTube it for step by step process

Hello,
As stated in the titled I have tried to root my OP 3T and it horribly wrong. First I got the error message telling me it couldn't mount my /system partition. I googled how to fix it and discovered that I had to wipe the partition as it might be corrupt. Just to be sure that it was indeed corrupt. The size was stated as 2913MB but the used space was stated as 1728265MB. I therefor wiped it and tried to boot. Now I couldn't boot into Oxygen OS...The only thing i can boot into was fastboot and recovery. I then tried to install the LineageOS and it worked. I can finally boot to a OS. However when going in the recovery again and wiping the cache I get a slew of errors. Almost all of them are "Error opening: '/data/local/nhsystem/kali-armhf/dev/xxxx' (Not a directory)". There is also one other error: "Unable to mount storage"
How do I fix this?

System partition is the OS. So from that fact, it should now be obvious that wiping system (and therefore wiping the OS) will result in not being able to boot to OS.
Not being able to mount system is a little odd. What version TWRP? Current version is typically recommended (currently 3.2.3-1).
You can try in TWRP Wipe section, the "Format data" button. This will often fix corruption issues with data partition (format is not the same as wipe), although I'm not sure how the system partition was affected.

I'm using TWRP 3.2.3-1. I tried to format with the "Format data". It seems that I still can't install the OxygenOS. Also the error "Error opening: '/data/local/nhsystem/kali-armhf/dev/xxxx' (Not a directory)" still accurs.
I'm still able to install and run LineageOS.

Formatting with 3.2.3-1 will remove the encryption footer. It's basically the only build of TWRP you DO NOT want to use! 3.2.3-10 is the latest but that won't reinstate your encryption footer. My advice is this. Flash TWRP 3.2.3-0, format at least /system, /data and /cache from the Wipe/Advanced screen and then Wipe everything for good measure.
Make sure you are in front of your PC when you do this. Back up everything to PC first as formatting will delete everything from Internal Storage. Make sure you have all your Install zips ready to go on your PC. Whn you're done formatting and wiping you can copy the install zips back to Internal Storage and flash OOS full Zip (or Custom ROM).

Remember to reboot Recovery once you have 3.2.3-0 installed so that your format operations are carried out with that version.

You're not just wiping, You're formatting. Select each of the partitions (Cache/Data/System) and format in each case. (I recommend EXT4 for Data)

Ok. I tried to format all the partitions with EXT4 and tried to install OOS again with a adb sideload. This didn't work and I got an error "adb sideload cannot read 'OnePlus3TOxygen.zip'".

Now I'm just curios as to why I can't sideload...

A few possibilities:
1) OnePlus3TOxygen.zip of course isn't the name of the file as downloaded, so i assume you renamed it to something more sensible before trying to sideload? Do you have 'Hide Extensions of known filetypes' selected in Windows Explorer? Could it be that what you ended up with was 'OnePlus3TOxygen.zip.zip', which of course wouldn't work if you were trying to sideload 'OnePlus3TOxygen.zip'?
2) You didn't move your download to your platform-tools folder in adb?
3) You didn't open a CMD window in your platform-tools folder?
Anyway, good that you're back on your feet.

You wouldn't be the first. It's a common issue. You know you can just move the zip to Internal Storage and flash it with TWRP? The Recovery is MTP enabled. Useful to know for future reference. :good:
