TWRP USB Debugging Issue

>USB debugging
You mean adb? Nigga you don't need that to flash a ROM. All that's required is putting the ROM zip(s) on the SD card or internal storage and flash it with the Install button in TWRP.

Yeah, I meant ADB. I know I can flash it over my existing ROM but won't that just further use up more space instead of wiping it it and then clean installing it?

TWRP has a wipe button that basically factory resets your phone but leaves the SD card and internal storage alone. This might be what you're looking for, infact it is recommended when changing ROMs.

Do you mean Format Data? What happens to the existing space written up by the ROM? Is it just replaced?

>>60061352
Yes you can't really save any space as far as that goes since the system partition is set to a fixed size based on the stock ROM. I believe this cannot be changed. So if the stock ROM has 5gb of bloatware there will always be 5gb set aside even if you install a smaller ROM. It may be possible to repartition but this is difficult and risky. One thing that can be done with the newfound empty space in system is move user apps to it with System App Mover but this can be buggy and doesn't seem worth it.

Makes sense. I just tried Format Data and it wiped my internals. The old ROM is still there. But that was one of my issues. I'm guessing the only thing now is to just see if I can flash over it.

>USB debugging doesn't work in TWRP

Well no fucking shit, you moron, USB debugging is meant for use when the phone is actually running Android because that's the software in use: Android Debug Bridge aka ADB. It will not function when Android isn't running.

What you are trying to say in actuality is that your phone doesn't have a download mode (LG and others) or a fastboot mode aka "Odin mode" (Motorola/Samsung/etc) that allows you to flash firmware to the device.

TWRP itself IS A CUSTOM RECOVERY, you fucking idiot, and it's primary purpose is to allow you to flash ROMs amongst many other capabilities (backups, formatting, terminal, etc).

You really should stop fucking around with that device, you're going to brick it.

But then again, by all means, brick it but leave us the fuck alone with such stupid questions.

Now get the fuck out.
