[Solved] Unable to mount \data and internal storage showing up as 0mb TWRP (Oreo)

[Wouthaksteen]

Hi,

I recently encountered a bug in TWRP where \data wouldn't mount. When I finally fixed the \data mount and installed a custom rom (Oreo 8.0), the next time I booted into TWRP recovery my internal storage would show up as 0mb not being able to install any .zip files. I tried various solutions found online and some versions of TWRP.
I found a fix that worked for me, which could (hopefully) help some people that encounter the same problems.

The simple solution I found was using a blu spark twrp recovery I found on some other post online.

Just format the data by going to TWRP

Just format the data by going to TWRP

Didn't work for me and many others. Everytime I rebooted into recovery after the format, the data would be unable to mount again.

Didn't work for me and many others. Everytime I rebooted into recovery after the format, the data would be unable to mount again.

Then try going to fastboot mode and then type 2 commands i.e
fastboot erase system
fastboot erase userdata
Then move to TWRP and format the data by going to additional format option and type yes
It will work for sure

Did you just flash the blue spark twrp only? or the blue spark kernel as well?

I did not install the blue spark kernel. Only the twrp recovery I mentioned.
