You need to do this while booted to twrp not android.

For the patch follow below.

To disable forced encryption and mount internal storage:

(Note this MUST be flashed after SuperSU if you intend to root)

1. Boot to Twrp

2. Format Data partition using FORMAT DATA button under Wipe options.

(Note: This will wipe the internal storage)

3. Check DATA is mountable.

4. Install SuperSU (if root is required)

5. Install boot image patch below.

6. Reboot

Boot image patch

For mtp go into device manager and manually install mtp driver where it says adb device or just copy booted in android.

[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Android Development] majinawaz:
Yes data is mounted
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Android Development] ashyx:
I see there are issues with mounting. Either the kernel or Selinux is causing this issue

However DATA is at least mountable, it seems the recovery.log has been copied to internal storage.

It should be available in android in the root folder of /sdcard

Using TWRP terminal can you type the following and report the output:

getenforce

.
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Android Development] majinawaz:
Type getenforce in TWRP terminal nothing happened
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Android Development] ashyx:
It should return a value, after hitting the blue tick. It will either say 'permissive' or 'enforcing'

I have made some changes to the mounts and removed the unmountable partitions for now. I have also made some changes to the External SDcard mounts. You may see 2 mounts for the SDCARD as follows:

external_sdcard

external_sdcard2

Please report which one, if any is able to mount your SDCARD.

Also as requested above, did you find the recovery.log? It should be in /sdcard when booted to android.

You can seen in screen shots there is no sd-card folder in twrp
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Android Development] ashyx:
Can you post a screenshot of the log window?

There is something amiss here, your terminal has no command prompt so isn't returning any values.

Your data partition is mounted, but /data/media isn't being bind mounted to /sdcard.

The External SDcard card refuses to be mounted, what format is your SDCARD?

Have you tried connecting OTG USB to your device?

I am going to take another look at the kernel source before going any further.
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Android Development] majinawaz:

[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Android Development] ashyx:
Ok I may have come up with a work around to at least get root. Which may help find out why we're having issues with TWRP.

Install the TWRP version below with odin, this build has a folder in the root of the ramdisk called supersu, inside is the supersu.zip.

Navigate to the root folder you should find supersu.zip inside /supersu

Install the supersu.zip with TWRP.

After install you may need to install the supersu apk from play store.

http://www.mediafire.com/file/bl9ycqc09f5ask8/supersu_recovery.tar

.
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Android Development] majinawaz:
Install supersu.zip in twrp then restart the device nd install apk from play store open supersu it say device is not rooted
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Android Development] ashyx:
Have you tried to reboot and then check root?

The issue could be because of the problem with inaccessible data partition. Supersu needs to place a file called su.img in /data.

If it can't access /data it cannot create that file.

There maybe a workaround by installing supersu to system. I'll come back shortly with another recovery image to install supersu in system mode.

Just to be sure can you access the system folder in TWRP OK?

---------- Post added at 09:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:24 PM ----------

Here we go, this will install root to system. This is entirely dependent on whether the system folder is accessible by TWRP. If you can access /system via TWRP file manager then this should work fine.

Install with ODIN, boot to TWRP then in /supersu you will find the zip.

Using a root explorer can you also look in cache/recovery for last_log.

Ok, I have gone back to basics and re-compiled everything.

I have compiled the kernel from source and fixed the selinux issues, however as usual Samsungs damn source code was buggy. Compiling stopped at the USB gadget driver which took me some time to patch up and get compiling again. Hopefully the fixes I did won't break MTP as that should be working now also.

There was also some kind of Crypto sha256 hash added to the kernel build image. Not sure if this will affect flashing with ODIN and if the patched version of ODIN will be required.

Hopefully the following should now be working:

Mounting partitions

MTP

ADB

SDcard mounting

Root shell in TWRP terminal.

Could you check these and report back including the recovery log?

I'm not rooted but get an error message about the handset not being secure - I get something similar with AmEx Pay (in the UK AmEx have created their own app rather than use Android Pay).

Any insight you can offer would be appreciated.
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Questions & Answers] RMXO:
I didn't do anything special, I'm on EU 6.12.8, rooted and installed Android Pay normally from the Play Store.
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Questions & Answers] Step666:
If you're rooted, you must have taken additional steps to make it work, regardless of the model of handset you're using - but doubly so with the Mi Mix, which is a handset with no official Google Services support and that throws up errors on un-rooted handsets.
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Questions & Answers] RMXO:
I guess if you want to call it an extra step, I installed the EU rom version for Mi Mix from xiaomi.eu, TWRP rc2, dm-verify and SuperSu.

So, at last, the Mi Mix has a serious problem with the GEAR S3 and the last MIUI.EU.
