Unable to update CM13

Hello guys, i was trying to update my CM 13 today and it didn't work. It made the download but once in the recovery, nothing happened :S i'm trying to understand why and i hope some of you know of this.
By the way, my TWRP version is the 2.8.7.0 if it helps..

ugh...Can't really understand what happened
You installed via OTA/cm updater? meaning you downloaded with your phone
Just download the zip directly and flash it with twrp
You'll also need to re-flash gapps unless you're using TWRP 3.0.0

Make sure that you have not installed any additional mods which alters system partition (kernels, soundmods etc.) If not, easiest solution would be to dirtyflash new one or clean install.

Same problem here.
405. CM13. TWRP 3.0.0. Merged SD card with internal storage.
In Recovery I can see folder structure but no files. I know its because of SD-encryption but I hoped I could at least see files in internal storage to update. Hope there's a solution soon. Does anyone have a workaround?

Filesystem of sdcard mount point
What is your /sdcard mount point filesystem? Mine is 'auto' (Maybe that might be causing the problem?) , and you can check by going into TWRP -> Wipe -> sdcard -> Repair or Change File System

Thank you for your answer. I checked that quickly, but couldn't find the option 'repair or change filesystem' without actually wiping the storage... I'll check again later if there's more time.

I found and changed the option from exFAT to ext4. All folders on the SD were lost in TWRP. Changed back to exFAT: couldn't see them either..

When using adopted storage (i.e. formatting external SD and using it as internal storage), then /sdcard in Android becomes /emmc in TWRP. At least it's what I see here using TWRP 3.0.0 Dark Blue.
From what I've looked, all internal storage is used only for app and app data once I started using adopted storage, so the only way I can think of using internal storage in TWRP to flash anything is either sideloading or using MTP in TWRP.

I managed updating through sideload.
1. Connect your phone to your computer via USB
2. Activate sideload in TWRP (advanced)
3. In platform-tools folder press Shift+right click to open commandline
4. If your device is connected properly ('adb devices') you can sideload zips (in platformfolder) via the command 'adb sideload filename.zip'
5. Restart device. Note: It took a few minutes for all apps to appear in the appdrawer again.
Thank you all for your help! I will looks after the folder emmc, but as I see no files, just folders anywhere, I am not that hopeful. But at least it works now

What did you wipe prior to your sideload? I want to do a wipe and fresh install of gapps and cm13, but I am afraid I could soft brick my phone.

I chose both. Dalvik and the other option ( I believe cache). No issues.

Mine gets stuck at "detected filesystem ext4 for /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/system" then it just reboots to TWRP again. Sideload says "
serving: 'cm-13.0-20160322-NIGHTLY-w7.zip' (~0%) * failed to read command: No error". Did you wipe system before you sideloaded?

I did not wipe anything beforehand.

Can't find magisk.zip in twrp, Internal Storage (0MB)

I have my magisk.zip in my sdcard/download but it's not showing on twrp (Internal storage 0 MB)... I tried wiping cache and data but it failed... I made sure that "Install ZIP" is selected. I'm using this twrp (color is orange instead of blue).
I'm using SM-J730F (used to be SM-J730F/DS but because of bootloop I had to install SM-J730F firmware, everything seems to work as it should).
I successfully rooted my other android phone but it's a lot more complicated for this model...
Is there any solution for this problem?
Edit 1: I tried with this solution by "format data" and then copy magisk.zip to sdcard/download, formating worked (Internal storage was't 0MB anymore) but when I connected with PC and opened my mobile folder was completely empty... It was empty before and after formating when accessing mobile folder on PC while on twrp (access was allowed the first time system booted) but in home screen mobile files can be accessed on PC. I'm starting to hate SM-J730F...
Edit 2: This solution worked (I can transfer files directly from my PC while on twrp) but my whole OS got wiped as well and had to flash it with odin... Which returned me to square one (no twrp)...

Well, i had same problem, got around it by flashing twrp in adb

Help! Tried to install custom rom and now internal storage is encrypted

So i tried to install a custom rom, now my storage is encrypted and i can't install apps or anything on my device.
I unlocked the bootloader, install twrp, it didn't ask me for a password however. I then did advanced wipe, system data cache.
I then couldn't copy anything to my internal storage, so reflashed miui using miflash tool.
My device is working fine, but when plugged in, all the folders on my internal storage come up as random numbers and letters (which i assume means its encrypted). I have tried downloading something via chrome and it says "sd card not found".
I really hope someone can help me.
Thanks!

Hi ! Do you can resolve your problem ?
I'm not expert but I think reboot to Twrp and format your data . Advanced format data yes and flash your Rom. But I don't no if you do to flash the DM Verity Encryption remover before flash your Rom ?
Stay for expert help you..

I faced similar issue when flashing custom rom.
I did some research and found out that, I have to wipe data first, reboot to fastboot (in TWRP). Boot into TWRP again using DOS shell prompt.
In this way, your phone will not be encrypted, allowing file transfer and flash from TWRP.
Hope it helps.

Hi, I managed to fix it by flashing the latest miui fastboot ROM again using mi flash tool, and then restoring a backup of my system from Google drive and miui when setting up the phone. I think I will try to flash a ROM again at some point. What do you mean by DOS shell prompt? Thanks

You need flash Forced Encryption Disabler to remove encryption of the folders. In TWRP, flash zip and reboot to recovery.

How to recover my files after failed supersu flash?

Today I wanted to root my phone. So I flashed twrp to later flash supersu. After i flashed twrp the phone worked fine, I could boot normally and go into recovery to access twrp. However, after I flashed supersu I couldn't boot back into android. After several tries of recovering the data its been a mix between bootlooping twrp or being stuck in the splash screen. I could format the partitions to clean everything, but I can't do that because I need to recover my 2FA codes (cause I didn't backup them up) so I dont lose access to my accounts. I tried unencrypting the storage from twrp but it always failed, even though it was the correct password (I use a pattern to unlock but I converted it to a code). Is there any way I can recover my data or do I have to reset everything?

Goto recovery and copy internal storage to pc

I cant find an option that lets me do this, since the partition is encrypted. Can you help me further?

TWRP install and rebooting to system succesful, but twrp can't read internal storage

Device: SM-A305N KOO (Korea)
I successfully installed twrp via odin on my A30, flashed magisk.zip, and rebooted to system successfully. After that, I flashed an optimization file and rebooted to system (also successful). But I found that the internal storage was encrypted, so I went straight back to TWRP and did Advanced Wipe - change file system to ext2, then ext4. Now My 'Files' app in the system can read the files correctly like in the pic.
But in the TWRP, the file names in the internal storage is still in random characters. How can I fix this?

If twrp only shows "random characters" that's because the internal storage hasn't been decrypted. Twrp should ask for your user password to decrpyt it. Alternatively you could also do
Code:
adb shell
twrp decrypt MyLovelyPassword
EDIT: You need to be booted into twrp to use this. You could also use the terminal which comes within twrp; just leave the `adb shell' part then.
