SD Card/lvm2pv Corrupt and 2.95GB of internal storage only - Oppo Find 7 and 7a

Hi there!
A year ago, I messed up in installing Omnirom and LVM on my Find 7a and I've been left with 2.95GB of internal storage since. The rest of my internal storage is corrupt and is now called SD Card/lvm2pv. See attached screenshot..
So I detailed what I did on post 1325 here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/fi...ilds-7a-7s-t3237065/post66783345#post66783345
But basically, when installing it looks like I wiped something by accident as I followed a ROM guide that said to wipe Dalvik Cache, System, Data, Cache.
Here's what it says in TWRP when installing a zip/backing up:
Creating Android Secure: /internal_sd/.android_secure
Failed to mount '/internal_sd' (No such device)
I:Actual block device: '/dev/block/mmcblk0p29', current file system: 'LVM2_member'
Unable to recreate and-sec folder.
Failed to mount '/internal_sd' (No such device)
I:Actual block device: '/dev/block/mmcblk0p29', current file system: 'LVM2_member'
I:Unable to mount '/internal_sd'
I want to get my 12GB of storage back but I'm not sure what's wrong or what I need to do to solve the problem.
I've looked extensively online and it seems some people have had similar problems:
(such as post 8 in here https://forum.xda-developers.com/fi...rom-dirty-unicorns-6-0-1-7s-08-05-16-t3434120 )
but no sure solutions.
I found this guide: http://community.oppo.com/en/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=44896
But people were commenting under it saying it had bricked their phones so I'm going to give that one a miss I think.
I've spent all day looking for a solution to this but to no avail. I swear I've trawled!!
Does anybody know what's wrong or what I could do to fix it?
I could run the unbricker tool but that seems overkill.

Try this Omni Patch first:

If it doesnt work, try this Second:

If all fail, go here and start it over:
http://community.oppo.com/en/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=23067&extra=
Then go to Settings -> Storage -> Erase.
Side note: Stay away from Omni Rom, they give the Find 7a BSOD here and there

What is this unified-storage-patch you link to? Is it... uhhh.. safe?
And if that doesn't work it looks like I'll be rolling the dice with the unbricker tool.. oh well..

No, it is not safe. It triggers some self destruct IC inside the Find 7a, and makes it explode just like the Note 7, hahaha :laugh:
Oh, I almost forgot, before using the unbricker, this LVM setup and LVM remover may help:

I hear all phones with the number 7 in the name have that curious IC that spontaneously combusts alright!
But flashing that omni-6.0.1-find7-unified-storage-patch .zip file won't brick the phone will it?
Or am I at the stage where I need to throw crap at the wall enough times to see what sticks? :silly:
And isn't the omni-6.0.1-find7-unified-storage-patch something to do with Chinese partition? I'm trying to understand it but I'm struggling....

No, you're at the stage where you need to trust someone, flashing some craps onto the phone until it's fixed
Ok, joke aside, I tried all the stuffs mentioned above and still my stubborn Find 7a didnt brick

Thanks for all the help. I'll post a guide/what I did, in the next few days when I get time.
What ROM do you recommend though if not Omni? I'm looking for simplicity with good battery life!

By the way, you can create a calibration file by hand, using the factory calibration settings. The settings are displayed when you boot into the SPL (power + volume down). Details here:

Doesnt work here. I had a EXT3 Partition (500 MB) from an earlier install, But after it says 'Allocated....' it just stops doing anything, and after, say, 10 mins the screen turns black and nothing happens. It runs now for 20 mins and still nothing happened. Whats wrong? Using a Touch Pro2.

I never mention anything about an ext3 partition, where is that coming from?
If you were using a neopeek build (they use ext2 partitions...) or something else, might be a good idea to go ahead and do a full format (FAT32) with the HP tool.
Whoops, indeed. I used a Neopeek build before. . But then, Why won't it boot? I copied everything to my FAT32 formatted SDcard, but it just does get stuck at the part mentioned before.

Did you format the card? I'm not sure how neopeeks builds are configured, AFAIK our build requires the FAT32 partition be the first partition.
Yes it is the first partition according to fdisk:
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sdb1 1 1885 15137792 b W95 FAT32
/dev/sdb2 1885 1950 524288 83 Linux

Ok, you followed the rest of the directions like moving the startup.txt? Did you put it in a folder, if so did you adjust the rel_path statement?
Can you at least try formatting the card as one big FAT32 partition?
I have indeed, moved the right startup.txt to the root of the SDCard, and I also have copied your calibration file to the root folder of the SDCard. Going to reformat the SDCard and I will report back once done .

Oy...
HW3D works, but Angry Birds requires opengles2.0. Our phones support 1.1 at best IIRC.
I heard there's some other versions of Angry Birds flying around that work better on our old phones. I honestly do not understand the popularity of the game, and yes I have played it. "Boring" is about the only word I could come up with to describe it, but I'm not much of a gamer on my phone .
Ah OK, that explains the lag . I only installed Angry Birds for testing purposes, but thanks for your opinion on the game .

So whats the perfect recipe for a functional Android port??

Hi everyone,
For Past week or so, I have been trying and trying and trying with varying degrees of success in my quest to get Android on my Wave. At the moment I am clueless about what I am doing wrong! I have followed the tutorial to the dot! except for the deletion of Wi-fi file. And I have faced all the issues mentioned in the TUT thread in different installs, now its just getting stuck at the language select menu! after choosing language, it freezes! So I want someone who has perfectly installed Android on Wave with applications and Wi-fi to tell me the small tit-bits and nuances, just the wisdom that you may have earned of...this procedure!
Here's my Specs:
Samsung Wave S8500 with XXJK1 firmware successfully flashed and tested with Android.
Sandick 16 GB SDHC Micro SD CARD
Tried 13 bada 2 android but not enough space errors
Tried 14 bada 1 android but random hangs, once boot fine. next time nothing!
Thanks!
It's a pre-alpha release. So you can't expect that it will run smoothly. So my advice wait for the first official release.

Thing is, I had got it working without a hitch with 2gb, but no apps would install and then today I try as most say that you shuold not go over 1 gb for EXT2 Parttion, I kept it one gb and now I am having these absolutely random hangs. what is the secon tutorial? I don't thinnk thats the issue. what size of partition are you using? And what tutorial did you follow..? Thanks.

My partition is 1943 Mb. But if android is running and the partition is smaller then 4gb i think it's go wrong by the chmod 0777 command.
And you can install apps? Also I do not understand what you mean my your second sentence?? you yourseld have a partition of 1933 mb right? and why does it go wrong with chmod?? thanks for replying.. I am trying once again...

The command CHMOD 0777 gives read/write/delete permissions on the folders and files. So when there goes something wrong with that command android can't write files on your sdcard.
Yes i can install apps and play games on android
So you don't use those commands (chmod) when you installed it? and how did you copy your files? thanks for the replies
EDIT: Woo hoo!! angry birds just worked! but I am getting ERROR when I try to enable Wi-fi! Do you know what this issue??

RE
Android not booting anymore on 4GB, it breaks the ext2 filesystem. Now giving up and living on Bada again
The perfect recipe is WAITING for the stable release. Oleg and company are working so hard in this port and its so unstable not and have some clues to be solved.
Please, if you don't know what are you really doing, stop trying Android unless it will be fully ported. Because nowadays it will be unstable and nothing we can do will solve it.
We just have to be pacient and give our support to developers, and let then do their job.
Android in our Waves is now a reality, don't disturb people who are working on it and let them porting it. Maybe it will be fully ported in a few months.
This release is only for testing purposes, not for playing Angry Birds and nothing else, and its pretty useless. So don't think you will get a full Android right now installing some patches and touching the configuration, because it is IMPOSSIBLE right now.
Threads with no sense like this one, made only by impatient people, should be closed.
Regards.
agree with the last post, I am also tempted to make the port but I badly need a working phone , so I guess will wait for the stable version when I see everyone is ok with theirs
unmount your device and use fcsk -y /dev/<your_device>. this should correct problems becoz most of the people has prob due to not properly created filesystem or sudden shutdown. this will also solve input output error on chmod
Thanks people! but I got it working to the fullest (atleast, upto what is possible atm)!!
I noticed that for some reason, there were some files missing in 'System/etc' folder.
namely, the Wifi folder. So I pasted it from my PC and chmoded it and sudo synced it. then repaired with Gparted. Now works perfect! XD

Huge problem no drive to transfer no android

Hey guys I got this huge problem...
I was getting lots of errors in the normal usage of my htc, after some updates.
So then i decided to use a custom ROM and it started ok but then crashed and rebooted.
After that I wiped the info from the sd card, but accidentaly erased all of it.
So now I just stay in the HTC screen, not able to transfer files into the sd card, the phone can start still in the clockworkmod window but I dont know how to turn the storage on.
Can you help me here? I just need to transfer files to the sd card, and it doedn't let me.
Windows 7 x64, it says k drive removable disk, drivers installed but its grayed out and won't let me open it. says it is not ready.
And when you click it it says please insert a disk in drive K:
what can i do?
In clockwork, click mounts and storage, then click mount usb storage, does that help?
Will it let you format the storage? If so that will be good enough for you to copy a rom across
If it doest, flashing an Ruu will definitely put everything back to how it was.
Mount sd card in cwm
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
You will need CWM 5.8.4.0 or newer.
Won't let me do anything you suggested.
results:
mount usb storage: E: Unable to open ums lunfile (No such file or directory)
formatting does work, it formats all cache, data, sdcard and system properly.
mount /sdcard gives the same result as usb storage.
and its version 5.8.2.7
Thanks, I hope something else could be done =S
Use this latest CWM Recovery

5.8.2.7 is outdated version.
Wish I could, now the battery is dead as well, I'm leaving it to recharge during the night, I hope it works.
Thanks a lot guys, and I wish someone has another solution =S I'm getting desperate here

Yes but as I just said... it won't let me charge the phone, so installing that now is not possible, I already tried, I'm now trying to charge it but since the version I have installed is bugged it won't allow charge to go into the battery. that's why I asked for another solution, not that it was wrong.
Sorry if I didn't make myself clear, after I manage to charge it I think I can go from installing the clockwork then mounting the sd and finally flashing the RUU as sugested, but right now I can't even charge the phone.
There was a thread in this section somewhere with a solution to force the phone to charge (I think it was a script using adb which would force the phone to keep rebooting so it would charge a tiny bit each time until hours later it got to a reasonable charge), but you'll need to search because I can't find it at the minute. It was from a few months ago...
Edit: Here is someone talking about doing it manually, I'll see if I can find the other post I was thinking of: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=25133176&postcount=33

Great help man! It's working now.
I saw that thread before I remember but tried it and it didn't work, combine the 2 and it does work. I just needed to make it turn on with the manual stuff and then use the batch file, now its charging a bit. Hope it charges enough to flash it.
Thanks a lot man!

Unending trouble with system partition for hydrogen

hi guys, I am having trouble with my MI Max having 32GB internal memory.
From it's behaviour for last few days I have inferred it's system partition is the culprit.
On stock miui rom, it gives msg that encryption unsuccessful and I need to factory reset it. But even after doing factory reset it shows the same msg.
Its with locked boot loader but referring one thread I could install twrp latest version on it by replacing recovery image in stock rom and flashing with mi flash tool in edl mode.
So with two I tried installing few vision rooms like miui eu ROM, RR and crdroid based on Oreo. All the rooms while flashing fine error E1001, saying system image not updated and flashing failed.
I even tried repairing file system, fixing file system, Channing file system to fat, exfat, ext2, ext3, ext4 and f2fs several times (from advanced wipe menu) but things are not improving. Even tried formatting data partition as it's suggested at few places.
I am out of ideas after spending few days trying to fix it by flashing several times.
So please if some one can assist in resolving the issue, I would really appreciate.
Thank you in advance.
You need to format data not wipe . Go to twrp choose wipe , format data and type yes . Note, by doing this you will lose all of your data if you want to keep it make sure to save it to your PC or USB drive.

As discussed yesterday on unofficial LineageOS (nijel8) thread the nand is damaged. You need to delate partition, compact unallocated space & then recreate the exactly the same partition. That way it won't be on the same spot & it will work.
Use a PC with an partition manager.

Tks a lot for the reply. It gave a ray of hope to me. Though I am hearing modifying partition on android device for the first time to fix it. That too for bricked device and to do it on PC. Is there any thread guiding about it? Would read a bit about how to do it in order to not mess things up even more.

It's still ain't bricked so you can do this relatively easy. When it's bricked EDL programmer for used NAND chip used is needed.
So take a deep breath, see the exact size & type of the partition, delate it, create a new one exactly the same (type, size & name).

The tool I gave you URL is very good documented and with plenty examples & user guides available all which can be found on the site, it uses graphics GUI so it's as easy as it can be. So if you are inexperienced read/watch first how it's done. After you are done flash what you want in TWRP.
Best regards.
What I meant to ask is, how to access partitions of mobile on PC? I have used partitioning app on windows but never for android device. Anyway, as u have clued, I shall try accessing partitions with mobile connected in edl mode.

How to repartition internal storage

Hello.
My internal storage 16gb is separated into two - 4gb for apps/cache and 9gb for files. I need to make this 7gb vs 6gb. Is there a way?

Hello, D0ping! Thanks for responding.
A few questions before I go ahead with your recommendation:
1. Will there be limitations or problems later like I won't be able to use the storage or something?
2. Custom rom, root, etc will work like normal, right? I'm using Lineage 16.0 (Android 9) on X9006 with TWRP.
3. By "unification of memory", do you mean that the internal storage becomes one whole unit, used for apps, files or both?
4. What exactly are LVM and Chinese Unified Storage Method?
5. This process is to make the two internal storage units become one, and it will not interrupt other areas in the phone, correct?
6. The end result of this process gives me 16gb storage that can be used for files which also stores apps, instead of the old way which keeps the app data in system which cannot be accessed without root?
7. Additionally, in that post by brownboy1289, the screenshot of the software he linked shows some kind of unusual typewriting along with some Chinese at the bottom. I don't know Chinese, so it won't be an issue, right? Regards.
8. Also, I read in Reddit where some people said something like some roms won't be supported ("I don't know if CM12 supports it", "No, CM, doesn't support it."). Will this be an issue for Lineage 16.0?
Hey Dude, a lot of questions.
I give you short answers:
1. No
2. Custom Roms and magisk work fine
3. Yes, internal storage becomes one whole unit.
4. They are different methods. I prefer chinese method. I cant explain the difference.
5. Yes
6. You will get 16gb storage. You can use them for apps, files, pictures or anything else. I don´t know where those apps are located but with root it should be no problem.
7. Sorry link of the screenshot isnt working. If you follow the steps and read the posts of thread you will know everthing.
8. Lineage 16.0 has no problems. I have installed it on my find 7a.

Thanks for this! I am trying to do it now but I have some issues. There was one point when I tried to go into fastboot by clicking Volume Up without the battery. It worked at first but then I decided to just unplug the phone from my laptop and ended it. I think something happened and it bricked, I tried to do it again but the screen is black for fastboot mode (without battery). When I put the battery in and try to go into fastboot, it works and shows the screen. But without battery, there's black screen. So in the X9007_Android5.0_16G_20150520 program, I took out the battery and tried to proceed using this black screen fastboot mode and for some reason the timer goes until 10 seconds then it freezes. Nothing happens after that. Video: https://streamable.com/jq8cdd
What can be done?

Hello, D0ping! Thanks for responding.
A few questions before I go ahead with your recommendation:
1. Will there be limitations or problems later like I won't be able to use the storage or something?
2. Custom rom, root, etc will work like normal, right? I'm using Lineage 16.0 (Android 9) on X9006 with TWRP.
3. By "unification of memory", do you mean that the internal storage becomes one whole unit, used for apps, files or both?
4. What exactly are LVM and Chinese Unified Storage Method?
5. This process is to make the two internal storage units become one, and it will not interrupt other areas in the phone, correct?
6. The end result of this process gives me 16gb storage that can be used for files which also stores apps, instead of the old way which keeps the app data in system which cannot be accessed without root?
7. Additionally, in that post by brownboy1289, the screenshot of the software he linked shows some kind of unusual typewriting along with some Chinese at the bottom. I don't know Chinese, so it won't be an issue, right? Regards.
8. Also, I read in Reddit where some people said something like some roms won't be supported ("I don't know if CM12 supports it", "No, CM, doesn't support it."). Will this be an issue for Lineage 16.0?

I don´t know why you have unpluged the cable during work!?
Can you install TWRP via Fastboot? Or is TWRP already installed?

I wanted to try again from the start after seeing how it works so I just unplugged it assuming it wasn't going to cause any issues. From then, the fastboot screen doesn't show at all when I connect the phone without battery to laptop. My phone is not entirely bricked, just the bootloader / fastboot isn't working properly. I still have the phone in its normal state with Lineage 16.0 and all the apps/data, etc (I haven't wiped anything yet). Is there a way to factory reset/repair/reinstall the fastboot thing in my phone?

Luckily your phone is still working. Maybe a factory reset can resolve your problem but I dont think so. I see no other option than replace linage with the original os. After that you can give your memory unification a next try. Afterwards you can flash TWRP and Lineage (with patch).
Help??

Hello.
My internal storage 16gb is separated into two - 4gb for apps/cache and 9gb for files. I need to make this 7gb vs 6gb. Is there a way?
