If you are on 5.1+ then use twrp 2.8.6.0... Thats the latest official build for sprout

Yes, the latest recovery solves the issue of many zips which were not flashing......

Well you cant flash roms onto sdcard... But if your partition is broken, then sorry but im a noob
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda app-developers app
Have you tired using a pit file?
flash a stock rom from samfirmware.com with ODIN.(eg. jw5)
to extract the password is "samfirmware.com"
tick repartition and use 512 pit file(included in rom from samfirmware).
check youtube for "flash with odin" if u dont know how.
edit:u are trying to flash from from samsungs 3 recovery.u need cwm(clockworkmod) to flash.
go to CF-ROOT(for i-9000) thread and follow instructions and read all in the OP(1-2-3 posts)
again u need ODIN to flash it.
hey
there is the best wasy to do that...just go to sammobile.com
there sign up first and then download the firmware (in firmware tab) and flash-programs...
the make sure to use oidn3_v1.0 only...
you can also download the flash-guide if you need it...
its simple..:laugh:
Thanks to everyone for replays, but nothing helped me x_x
if i flash 2.2.1 or 2.3.6 i receiving this error:

And then it keep showing me GT 9000 logo......

I know there is way to install in to external SDcard: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zdMhYYdMB08

Yep, keep shows only gt-9000 logo..
I had a very similar problem earlier this year.
From what I could see the partitions on the phone's internal storage weren't able to be accessed. In adb I tried using parted and rm but the partitions there (/dev/block/mmc/blk0) didn't ever change. I also tried various .pit files and Android versions through Odin but nothing worked.
I took my phone in for repairs after flashing a really old version; as close as possible to what it came with, and they fixed it. The repair was due to 'mechanical fatigue' according to them. I assumed the internal storage was some how broken or corrupted and couldn't be written to.
Not sure, if you manage to solve this.
From you screenshots I can see you are using 3e recovery. I would suggest you to flash a kernel which support cwm recovery mode.
I have heard peoples getting this error while using it on 3e.
Captain_17
Yes Captain_17, i have exactly same problem, cant give it to repair since purchased it from abroad.

3e recovery because i`ve flashed 2.2 and 2.2.1 or any other official roms, i can flash CWM easy but as Captain_17 said i can see but cant touch
files or partitions.
If flash CWM then phone will boot to CWM only, and i cant flash any rom from CWM because i cant copy files to internal storage and external (sdcard) cwm doesn't see it.
Sorry man, wish I could be of more help. I tried every available option I could find online but nothing worked.
Seems to be a hardware problem and replacing the damaged part is the only solution.
Silly question, but you ticked re-partition? try flash 2.2.1 or 2.3.3 with 512 pit and repartition
Also, you could try to flash Darky ressurection via odin, not completely stock rom. I know that this is just tweaked stock, but you could try do that.
And, you could try to use Heimdall instead of odin - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1196179
I have read somewhere that heimdall is more preferable than odin in some cases.

guys should i use the mi flashtool and flash the fastboot stock rom ?
The miflash only works with the original partitions. Try to change the partitions to original and late try use the fast boot. If you cant acces to the storage, use adb to push your zip.

SM-G800H doesn't want to boot even in recovery

Hello everyone,
First, excuse me because of my bad English, I have a big problem on my SM-800H and i hope someone will help me.
Before this problem i had a pre-rooted version of the G800HXXU1ANGD and the TWRP recovery, when i knew that Samsung released an 5.1.1 update of the OS, i decided 3months after to install a pre-rooted version, unfortunately it seemed that it was really unstable, WiFi and call didn't work and the UI was too laggy. So i decided to reinstall the ROM after a clean uninstall to see what it will do but i got a boot-loop on boot(Sorry if i seem stupid). I wanted to install my old ROM via Odin but it didn't work, it was telling about an issue with ext4 or something like that... After some searches, i found this topic (http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s5-mini/general/pit-files-t3064921) so i flashed the pre-rooted ROM (the old) in addition to the PIT File via Odin, at the beginning i thought it worked but in reality, it just booted, i could hear just a part of Samsung boot sound then it stopped roughly and there was a boot-loop. I went again in recovery to flash an another ROM (An unofficial version of Bliss Pop, pretty stable) but it said at the end something like unable to mount /data and unable to find crypto footer. After a reboot just to check it didn't want to boot into system, i had to wait a few minutes before it automatically reboot intro recovery but, surprise... I had something like a recovery boot-loop, it showed Team Win boot screen then it turned black and it showed me the boot screen another time and it returned black and it happened again like that infinitely.
I can boot into download mode so please if someone could help me, it'll be really nice
Thanks!

Did you try the steps in the thread bellow?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s5-mini/general/to-stock-t3353824/
If you messed up your partitions you may need to use an updated version of a PIT table for your phone and firmware version, or use the ROM related to the available PIT file.

TWRP shows strange folder names (crypted?!)

hi,
I bought a new Huawei P10 lite phone, unlocked the bootloader, installed TWRP and with this I installed SuperSU via microSD card.
Everything worked fine, until now. Now I want to backup my current modified stock ROM, but TWRP failes.
I got the problem very fast: TWRP can read all files and folders on the microSD car, but not in the internal storage folder.
The file structure is like the following:
acct
boot
cache
config
data
...
etc
external_sd <-- the microSD card
mnt
...
sbin
sdcard
storage
...
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Everything can be read by TWRP, except the sdcard folder.
Here he only shows strange names (crypted I guess):
something like:
2h8P9lGY8I1A884LMsBjaA
2u+nb0LdBNopRSa5LehsvB
75aTrCvYkWG+R+lrcRz6WA
DcwYkwSKokq8Rm5lYc4YYC
...
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
This strange folders occure within TWRP itself and also if I mount the storage to the computer via TWRP.
I also can not modify, delete or add anything in this cryted folder.
So what am I doing wrong? Why is this crypted and can not be read?
During my research I found this post on reddit with the same problem. But the solution is not clear to me and also not working.
Thanks for any help
greetings
Christopher
PS.: Here some specific information about the phone:
brand new Huawei P10 lite
model WAS-LX1A
build nr. WAS-LX1AC432B102
no updates avaible, checked twice
EMUI 5.1 with Android 7.0
TWRP v3.1.0-2 from here (named "TWRP_P10_Lite_Beta.img")
Hey
It's because your files are encrypted due to forceecnryption and dm-varity in the kernel you can try formating the data to see if it removes the encryption from the data.
My infos may not be correct you can read more about dm-varity and forceecnryption in the internet

Ok, thanks a lot. This was helful so far.
From what I read, I now must flash a new "boot.img" in order to disable force encryption. But where do I get such a file for my Huawei P10 lite (WAS-LX1A)? I did not found one. Maybe the phone is too new? Or am I just blind?

Do you know your Build of your Phone ? If yes you can download the right Update.app from Huawei and extract the BOOT.IMG, RECOVERY.IMG and the SYSTEM.IMG (Maybe CUST.IMG) and restore it in the fastboot Mode. After that it started again to the UI.
If you dont know the Build of your Phone there will be some Fastboot oem commands to get it (i dont have them in my mind right now).
I flashed the ZIPs in TWRP after that with an external SD card witch arent crypted names...

I solved using "update_data_full_public.zip" and clearing /data, after restoring previuos boot.img and system.img .
My phone was WAS-LX1AC432B102 4gb EMUI5.1 Android 7.0. I had bricked before and the only way to unbrick was to use "Warsaw-L21_C432B182_EU_SERVICE_androidhost.ru"
I do not trust to install data into a phone i can't backup and restore with TWRP... there is another way to make /data not crypted?
Exist the hope one day TWRP read also crypted /data or it is better search another phone?

Had my phone bricked two days ago after a failed Motorola system update. Decided do ditch it and go with LineageOS, wich I got working after a few failed install attempts. When I tried to acess my internal storage, I had only those randomly named folders. Deleted them all, but couldn´t write to my storage after. Even tried a camera app, and it said that couldn´t work without a sdcard.
SOLUTION: boot recovery on TWRP > Wipe > Advanced Wipe> select ONLY internal storage > swipe to wipe :good:
Rebooted after internal storage wipe and everything is fine now. It seems all the install attempts made some sort of mess.

Cool, glad to help! In fact, this issue happened to me once again a few weeks back, when LegacyOS updated. I had this "f*** here we go again" moment, but before wiping, I decided to use TWRP > Advanced > Fix Content. Not only I got the system working again, but *all my data was intact*. System updates are messing file tables, apparently.
I want to marry TWRP.

Had my phone bricked two days ago after a failed Motorola system update. Decided do ditch it and go with LineageOS, wich I got working after a few failed install attempts. When I tried to acess my internal storage, I had only those randomly named folders. Deleted them all, but couldn´t write to my storage after. Even tried a camera app, and it said that couldn´t work without a sdcard.
SOLUTION: boot recovery on TWRP > Wipe > Advanced Wipe> select ONLY internal storage > swipe to wipe :good:
Rebooted after internal storage wipe and everything is fine now. It seems all the install attempts made some sort of mess.

God bless you! i've struggle with this s]+t for hours!
what worked for me is installing siankatabg-twrp , now i can see names fine
after that i changed back to official version (which was missy before) and still fine !!!!!!!!
then installed orange fox (which was missy before) and still fine !!!!!!!!
WTH !!!!!!!!!!!!
so i think best shot (if u dont have siankatabg-twrp) is installing codeworkx (Lineage recovery) make sure all good then go back to ur favorite.
lemme know if its works

Question I might have bricked my phone, I need help

I am just new to this flashing custom roms or firmware and twrp also. And dumb enough to not back it up.
I wanted to install arrow os in my phone. When I was about to wipe data, cache and dalvik, I accidentally checked metadata also and wiped. Then problems created more problems.
problems right now:
I cant put a file in my storage
Internal Storage is just blank on my pc
No OS
TWRP on both slots
please help me i really needed help and knowledge about it
I hope the attachment helps
EDIT--
Solutions to my problems:
WHEN you softbrick your phone and you only have fastboot and nothing else
Thanks to this guy..
SOLUTION: download your original firmware but choose the fastboot one and not recovery after download just unzip. Double click flash_all.bat and its back to square one.
WHEN you dont know how to flash or the file you have is .img
SOLUTION: find a guide in xda because apparently you can install a .img file in "fastbootd" mode
the guides here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...sues-all-without-any-custom-recovery.4337099/
COMMENT: not the usual thats what on top of youtube search.
WHEN you see errors in twrp/orangefox recovery you might get panic and search for solution.
COMMENT: try to find and use a solution that doesnt delete something first. In my experience it got bricked even more.
Thanks to the people who commented back on my post and helping me get to know what to do next.
Try putting the stock ROM on a SD card or usb (if you have a dongle).

SD card that you put on beside the sim? if yes
Do I download stock ROM in official website? Cus I dont have 1 right now
then flashing it there by using twrp? is that how its gonna run? because i really dont wanna assume and create another problem
Try flashing this stock ROM (global) from a SD card, in TWRP. It's a recovery package, so you can install it as any zip.
Also, can you boot into fastboot/bootloader from TWRP?
Plus, where did you get the ArrowOS image? There are no builds, official or not.

Is the twrp detecting your sd card?try click on the Install image and change to install zip
can you sideload?
I can now see it, I think I reflashed twrp, now I can, but I cant install because of failed to mount system_root and I have done change file system of data to Ext4. when it resets it comes back to f2fs
edit: change file system of data to Ext4 failed
edit2: thank you guys really for commenting back and helping me
is no verity affecting it? cus I am not able to install it now
you should format data and put the arrow build in it, maybe it will work

Should have said "extract the file, there's a zip or img inside", don't change the file extension.
Update: I found the guide how to sideload ... just change the Ext4 to F2fs
[Tutorial] TWRP ADB Sideloading
Alternative solution: OTG usb flash drive - With one of these, you can store a ROM zip safely, and still format ‘userdata’ to f2fs or EXT4. TWRP ADB Sideloading Requirements: Mac | Linux | Windows PC / Laptop and TWRP Custom Recovery Moto G...
forum.xda-developers.com
and I was able to sideload it and then got MIUI finally
what worried me is there were still errors like system_root, vendor and product... and its running fine now I guess but im back on track to make it to arrow OS.... I hope no mistakes this time like deleting metadata.
Thank you all who replied to this post , I really do. Thank you

no problem next time installing, stick to sideloading, less room for error
I cant seem to install TWRP recovery again it justs bootloop .. I dont know why anybody knows?
Whenever I fastboot boot twrp3.6.1-rosemary it fails, says too many links, and when I fastboot reboot recovery it boot loops
flashboot flash boot twrprosemary says okay in slot A and I even put it to B and flash it there sadly
the problem might be because its A12 ... just an update

A12 shouldn't be a problem.
Probably you should flash another vbmeta.img.
OR
I don't know if there is an .img twrp around, but if there is you can:
Code:
fastboot boot {recovery.img}
and then [Advanced]>[Install Recovery Ramdisk].
