Could someone please help me. I was rooted and phone was working fine and decided to try and update the ota after uninstalling root. didnt work, decided to to flash the custom rom using twrp which worked but now my internal storage is locked to read only. I rerooted to phone to try and fix the problem with no luck. Help please. When i use terminal and use mount command i get alot of error messages but think this one is the prob.

Storage was probably corrupted. Boot into TWRP, go to Wipe section, and select the button "Format Data". See if that helps your storage read-only issue.

This isn't the proper way to OTA a rooted device. You need to restore a never rooted stock TWRP backup, stock recovery, then you can OTA.
