  1. I think internal memory is not accessible without root…I have already formatted my SD card using Marshmallows new feature so twrp is not mounting it at any place that I know of….At what place exactly are you saying to copy the files

    • Whats internal of external? I read somewhere that Marshmallow basically encrypts the SD card when it formats it as internal ext4 partition so till someone decrypt those keys it will be difficult mounting it. Anyways I found another way 😀 I did it the ADB sideload way. Just need the minimal ADB and Fastboot setup. Drivers can be downloaded using adbuniversal_v1.0.

      Assuming your file is "filename.zip" and you have copied it to the minimal install folder.
      After that you need to boot mobile to recovery >> Advanced >> ADB sideload(for TWRP). Connect with USB on PC and pass the commands "adb sideload filename.zip" from a command window open in the folder where minimal setup is installed. And that file will get installed.
