Damaged File System - Need Fastboot Help

[friedsonjm]

Unlocked Mediapad M3 wifi 713, damaged file system showing 0 storage, managed to get TWRP installed via fastboot, but TWRP is unable to change/repair any partition. I've tried to use "fastboot format:ext4 userdata" but I get the "remote: command not allowed" error.

Is there some way to use fastboot commands? Or some terminal command from TWRP?

thanks, jf

Bro have you unlocked the bootloader and it would be very helpfull to know how you corrupted the data partion,it could be solved maybe if you enter the second recovery (erecovery) and click on download lastest firmware install or so , then after its done with the installition it will probably not boot click power and volume down wait, do it some times until you get to the bootloader and unlock it, after factory reset it should boot but first explain a little more about your issue we dont want to srew your device up

Not sure how things got corrupted, had installed Linage on it, but was not able to download files from any installed program. Reinstalled Linage and it blew up. Erecovery fails to download anything, don't know why. I followed the instructions here https://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-sp/help/format-data-using-twrp-3-0-2-t3371137 to format all partitions, and still TWRP only sees 0 space, can't do anything with it..

In short - can't see how anything could screw it up more!

which version of twrp is currently installed and normally for format matters only data partition is used, have you formated the system partition too,
maybe we can try to force install the update zip / you were on nougat then lineage oreo and then in the current state right?

TWRP is 3.0.3-0 It is failing to mount /data (Invalid argument) nor can it mount any other partition.

Yes, was on stock nougat, then Linage oreo, then reinstalled Linage and got current state.

When I try to install zip from PC, it appears to be successful - but apparently is not.

can you intall the twrp 3.3.1-0 which is at the lineage oreo thread and then try to install los zip https://forum.xda-developers.com/mediapad-m3/development/rom-t4085115

The good news is... I did that, got in unbricked, installed ROM, GAPPS... installed apps - and I'm back to the same problem I had before. I can install apps, I can download from Google Drive, but programs such as Gmail cannot download attachments. even though permission to access storage is turned on. This is all to internal storage - no external chip at this time.

thoughts?

thanks, jf

For gmail you must install the micro version of the gapps not the pico one after that it should work

It's not working for Aquamail either. Also, can't download from the web, using Brave browser.

I'm having the same issue basically storage is off limits to my apps.

The developer of the Linux 15 ROM is aware of the issue, it's on the list to be fixed.
