Do you know how to fix TWRP unable to mount storage? If you don’t, you’ve come to the right place. But before I tell you how to do that, here is something that I need you to understand first.
When using your TWRP, especially to install customized ROMs, you could sometimes run straight into error-prone issues. In most cases, the TWRP will prompt you with an error that’s marked “unable to mount storage.”
In this case, the internal storage could again show up to be at 0Mb in the TWRP. This is often on the contrary that you’ve got tons of free space.
What happens during this error in mostcases means that the TWRP is actually unable to successfully or completely decrypt the presence of space in your internal storage. Apart from that, the data partitions could have possibly been corrupted, which makes the TWRP unable to capture it successfully.
