Xiaomi MI A2 TWRP Problem - Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers

Hi, i already installed twrp on B ,,partition", and want to install magisk by flashing it in twrp. The problem is that i got only partition B to read and can't see files on A Partition, also when my phone is on the twrp, i can't move any file to it via usb (it's not detected by PC ). Pls can someno explain me how to read A partition in TWRP or Why my phone wouldn't be detected by PC ?

That's for the phone to be detected by PC https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pA1gSQchoLw
Can you explain what are you trying to do? and why install TWRP on partition B? What's your active partition ?

i have 4 questions, with short answers
my MI5 has TWRP3.1 + root+ bootloader unlocked+ global developer rom 8.3
all ok perfect. with TWRP i did factory reset ( which contains data and chache wipe) to have everything clean.
But
i still have some old application folders, files, even my old media inside the phone!
how to clean them? i want to delete all files which is not about new system.
1) in TWRP;
advanced - wipe system
or
advanced - wipe internal storage?

2) and if i delete all, i want to reflash new rom without quiting from TWRP,
, but new rom zip file will be deleted also i think ! so how can i reflash?
3)
i ve changed imei number of my phone , i hope my new imei number will not be deleted?
1. You also need to wipe internal storage.
2. You can still use mtp to pc or usb otg in twrp.
3. I don't know, sorry.

thanks,
while on TWRP its possbile to mtp to pc, but
after internal storage wipe, its not possbile to mtp to pc while on TWRP.
so, without quiting twrp screen, i used adb side load option of TWRP and flashed the rom from PC. ( i dont have otg cable)
and now its full clean system :good::good:
EDiT: imei numbers still exists.

After wiping internal storage, reboot twrp and reconnect to pc again. This way you can see internal storage in pc.
Flash zips via Adb Sideload is very useful when you have a computer with ADB cmd.
You can easily use MTP from TWRP.
or get an OTG cable.
As you changed your IMEI, Keep a backup of EFS partition from TWRP and upload it to Google drive.
if you get any error on network then just restore the efs backup from twrp.

Please advise the command Adb Sideload to upload the zip file.

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.

Hey Guys I need some help ...!
Recently, found some issue on my Lenovo K3 note k50-t5 with custom blend rom marshmallow version stuck on lenovo logo so i tried to format everything with twrp (DenisePDA 3.0.2-6v4) version on my phone but unfortunately I am facing more issue afterwards as I've got No OS Installed/No Internal storage/No SD card it was showing everything empty the only thing I can access on my phone now that is to reboot on twrp with 0mb internal storage. I can't mount Internal Storage nor SD card but I tried to flash another version of twrp through OTG but no success. I also tried to change the file system from ext2 to ext4 but it failed. I tried everything like SP Flash tool to get back on Stock Rom but No success as it was showing BROM Error (4008). I also Tried to Re flash twrp with Fastboot method but all my attempt was failed. I hope if someone help me out how to fix an unable to mount storage issue on my TWRP atleast I might able to Flash rom again. Please Help...! If Anybody know how to fix or overcome this issue.

Question Unable to mount storage 0 MB

Good evening.
I am trying to root my ONEplus Nord CD 5G (bought in April 22) and have done the following:
1) Bootloader unlocked
2) Vbmeta flashed
3) twrp-3.5.2_11-ebba flashed
4) rebooted in recovery
TWRP has started but I cannot Magisk to the device because it is not being recognized via USB on my PC.
Internal storage is 0MB, as well as USB OTG.
I have to select mount and then mount USB storage to make it visible to the PC but no files can be transferred.
In detail it prints “unable to mount storage” and “failed to mount”.
There seem to be data in BOOT, DTBO, EFS, MODEM, PERSIST, RECOVERY and SUPER where SUPER is by far the largest with 10GB.
Has TWRP been found working with the phone and purchase date above (should be Android 11)?
There is a wipe button with advanced functions but I am afraid of using it because until now I have not erased anything from the phone. Furthermore, I do not quite understand what the functions are.
Can anyone recommend further steps?
Thank you very much for your help.
Best regards,
Audoghast
would first try changing slot to A or B in reboot section of TWRP, depending on your current slot
Hello again.
Thank you for the quick reply. I tried that but no change.
I am still stuck with "unable to mount storage" message.
Unfortunately, I cannot save any data to my PC but somehow I will have to wipe data. What would be a cautioius approach?
Thanks again.

Did you check the device manager, if your phone is recognized while in fastboot/bootloader?
In fastboot mode (START)or (RESTART BOOTLOADER) the phone is not recognized. by the device manager. There is no bootloader number either.
However, the phone accepts fastboot commands from the laptop via USB cable.
Thanks for any further tips.
