Hi all, I'm trying to make a backup using version 2.8.4.0. When I swipe to start the process it fails, telling me it is unable to mount storage. Where would I make the change to allow twrp access to the storage?
I'm unlocked, rooted, stock 5.0.1 and franko kernel
TIA
Can you upload logs please?

Go in to mounts and mount your storage. Should be as simple as that.
Did you have a otg plugged in then you need to change selected storage
I know this thread is old, but i'm now having this issue and can't find a resolution, was there one found? I've tried everything listed in this thread.

I have TWRP 2.5.0. I was trying to install a new rom and now I cant get anywhere.
I copied over my new rom to my storage then reboot to recovery. I wiped everything possible. Now my rom is gone and either I'm not using the mount function in twrp properly, or its not working. Now I have no rom, now way to copy a rom, so no phone. What can I do now?
Never mind, I found a guide to side load.
See post# 2
Update but need some help
Figured everything out after doing more research. I successfully downgraded to 4.4.2 and unlocked using towelroot.
I have a couple of questions if anyone can answer them:
I don't see Safestrap in Busybox's list
Safestrap installed fine and I an access it etc. but a backup fails if I try it:
Says:
Safestrap 3.75 (TWRP v2.7.1.0)
ROM Slot: stock
Data and System are checked
Enable compression and Skip MD5 are unchecked.
Backup Fails:
Unable to mount internal storage.
Unable to mount /external_sd during GUI startup (I have no external sd card in the phone)
Full SELinux support is present
Unable to mount /external_sd/TWRP/. twrps when trying to read settings file
Updating partition details
Unable to mount internal storage
FAIL
Any advice XDA?
Thanks in advance
Figured it out. Stupid simple mistake. I didn't have internal storage mounted. Backup worked great afterwards.
For others searching the same issue, go into Safestrap and click Mount>click internal storage.
Getting the following errors when trying to do a full backup on my rooted Exynos Note 9:
"Could not mount /data and unable to find crypto footer."
"Failed to mount '/data' (Invalid argument)"
"Unable to recreate /data/media folder."
"Unable to mount storage"
"Backup failed. Cleaning Backup Folder."
Please see old thread if you want to see screenshots. Old thread was asking how to update TWRP.

Edit: I have Magisk Manager installed, too, if that matters
You're trying to back it up on sdcard or internal?

Did you get the same error if you try to backup into internal storage?

Same errors when I try internal storage.
(FWIW, when I click "Select Storage", it tells me that the Micro SD card has ~9700 MB free, whereas the Internal Storage shows 0 MB free.)
Better backup everything manually. Then format data from recovery. Or flash official fw, then reflash twrp to try again.

Any tips on best software to back up everything manually? Short of making a list...?
Swift backup can backup apps, messages and call logs. Titanium backup is outdated.
Don't forget to backup other files such as pictures into sdcard or pc.

Thanks for the tip on Titanium; I've been using it for years... should have guessed it was outdated.

Formatted data from recovery; same error.
Going to try do flash official fw then reflash twrp again, but I'm not sure what difference that will make.
1) Do you think it has anything to do with it being an international version (SM-N960F)?
2) Or because I used Magisk to root it?
3) Should I have wiped data, cache, and/or Dalvik after upgrading TWRP? Can I do those things at *any* point without losing anything?
I'm not really sure what went wrong, so that's just my suggestion. Prior to flash official fw better to ask in corsicanu's offical note 9 trwp thread. Maybe somebody has an idea with the error you're facing.
I'm able to use backup & restore in Android 11 custom or miui rom. but unable to use it when i flashed android 12 roms.
Can anyone walk me through how to fix this.
Did the ff workaround in youtube as well in any similar post but still not working.
1. Advance wipe > click data >Repair or Change File System > Change File System to EXT2 & EXT4
2. Format data
This process is temporarily working the internal storage is visible, but after booting to system and go back to twrp recovery, the internal storage appears 0mb again.
I flashed stock rom/ eu rom as well in TWRP as i read this is worked with them. but not on my end.
Kindly help me to solve this issue please.
TWRP is not yet compatible with Android 12, it can't decrypt the internal storage. You can't fix it until TWRP (or some other recovery) solves Android 12 support.
I think in theory you might be able to back up the ROM to an unencrypted storage like an SD Card or OTG USB drive, but I'm not sure (and I'm even less sure if such backup could even be successfully restored if you back the partition up without decrypting).
Use otg usb

In my opinion it's only possible to backup encrypted storage as in A12 if you flash DfE but then you'll have to format and later you're decrypted and in future you can backup via TWRP.
But you can copy actual personal files with a file manager, if android is booted up, to external storages or internal micro SD. android internal app data can't copied.

You can install cutom roms, flash magisk, kernel and other stuff. The memory is only encrypted, the rest works perfectly fine. Have you checked on the latest recovery?
A new kernel was flashed an hour ago. I have made a backup of the boot and dtbo images. It really works
Not checked to backup complete rom, but suppose it's possible with otg

I guess (I was in fact asking about exactly this in another thread recently), but then if the install script tries to modify the data partition in any way (which remains encrypted with current recoveries under Android 12), you're almost certainly screwed and at best the installation will fail, at worst you'll have to reinstall everything.
Thanks for the reply guys..this already solved..with the help of @Laptapper in other thread. Using orangefox, dfe,

Previously I had a Redmi note 7. On the encrypted partition, I could also install everything in the same way. I am not a specialist, my knowledge has ended here.
Okay, so thanks to the help of you guys I finally managed to root my phone. Now I want to install Arrow OS on it but before that want to take a nandroid backup. Unfortunately, it shows 0mb internal storage and some error like "Unable to mount /data". !!Not sure if this is the perfect error!! but it's close to this.
I've read how to fix this, by changing the type of filesystem to Ex2 then back to Ex4. But,
1. Is this the way to do it?
2. Will It delete all my data, and/or Custom ROM (ie, will I have to perform the android first time setup again). If yes, is there any other way?
And no, I haven't kept any lock on my device.
Some questions may be extremely basic but I'm completely new and would like to confirm things before regretting them later!
Thanks!

Yes, it shows 0mb internal storage because is encrypted, twrp, orange fox cannot deal with android 12 to decrypt.
Changing the type of filesystem to Ex2 then back to Ex4 will delete your files.
So, the only way to do a nandroid backup is to decrypt first, but even so you'll loose all your files because you must format data

Yes, but after format data you must setup MIUI again from scratch... not installing again.

Yes, it will work, but Arrow os is android 12 based, so you'll be not able to backup it because of encryption (0mb internal storage), so you must decrypt it for backup
