Folks after instaling LQ5, i had the green android guy instaling the OS for 7min.
I reflashed lpf, made a nandroid restore, everything was fine untill i saw that half of my internal storage is missing.
Navigation missing, a few photos, apps, and i had 4GB storage.
I tried everything i could to find the missing space but nothing.
Every app, system shows that i have 4 GB space (2.5gb full with files 1,5 gb free)
pls help recover my space
I know with i9000 had the same issue when applied woddoo lagfix and repartition to ext fat.
Tried reflash repartition with odin, nothing.................
You flashed a .pit not meant for your device. Read all about others making the same mistake and how to fix it (flashing a correct .pit) in the relevant threads.

Hi to all from Greece...
I am facing a strange problem with my 2 months old 10.1v. Since yesterday there is a notification that the internal storage is getting low. In fact in the storage use of the apps is almost 8 Gb that cannot be true as the applications that are installed cannot be more than 500 Mb (including the cache).
I've read a relevant post in the forum that indicates a format of the sd card. I have made a backup of the apps and the data on my pc and I am wondering the best way to proceed.
Will this format affect the system on the Tab? The system apps?
Any help will be highly appreciated.
Thank you very much,
DK
P.S... by the way...how can i format the sd card? I have looked everywhere and couldn't figure out how....
Tks again
Internal space...
You internal storage is your APP (partition 10) space. When you are talking about your 8GB's free you're talking about your "SDCard" space (Partition 14). I suggest installing "File Manager HD", and browse your /data/app folder. Sort by size to see what your biggest applications are and uninstall a couple.
Reformatting your SDCard space isn't going to help here but if you do want to reload the entire thing including your SDcard (all 2-17 partitions) check out The Overcome ROM reload instructions. His install walkthrough has your completely erase everything (every partition gets reloaded) and starts everything off empty for you. (Find his ROM and website info on the "Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development" Forum).
Hope this helps...

Hi Everyone,
I have an issue with my VZW GS4. All of my storage seems to be utilized by "phantom" files. I was updating my playstore apps yesterday and I got a memory almost full error. I only have 1 GB pictures, .5 GB music, and .3 GB applications used. I know the system is using almost half of the my memory off the bat, but looking at the files above, it did not make sense that I would only have 300 MB left out of 9GB or so available to me.
My device was rooted, but was still on the VRUAMDK Kernel flashed after rooting. I had Titanium backup installed but did not actually do any backups. I had CWM manager installed and had one recovery that took up a small amount of memory, so I wasn't sure what would be taking up all my memory.
I decided I wanted to do a wipe on the phone after backing up my pics/music to see if i could wipe the memory and start clean. I wiped the device using the stock recovery app and the phone still only has 4.2GB free. I guess a wipe/factory reset does not clean EVERYTHING off the SD card. When I go into the Device Memory section in settings, it appears I have half of memory free, but it still lists 4.2GB available. I did a file usage analysis and it does not listed Could something I had done in CWM Rom Manager created some hidden files that wouldn't get wiped? Does the GS4 auto software update download to a hidden folder before being installed? The phone recently download the new ME7 firmware which I did not install yet.
Using an android file browser i've looked around the SD card system folders but I would have no idea what would be taking up so much room. Has anyone else had an issue like this? Can I wipe the non-system partition of the SD card somehow? I am just not familiar with this and I wouldn't want to mess up the OS somehow.

Looks like a CWM recovery was sitting in root/data/media. I found this solution in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2274218
Hello guys,
I was using DorimanX v 119 10 series along with Slim Saber 08/24 release, then yesterday when the battery was around 18% it turned off randomly.
When I turned it on, I saw I was not getting options for Dual Boot and it took me straight to Primary ROM where it showed a message Internal Memory Damaged, format it on the notification bar.
Tried opening Titanium Backup and other apps to backup but SDCARD0(internal storage) was not mounted anywhere.
Restarted the phone and now its getting stuck on DorimanX logo.
Tried mounting from recovery and doesn't seem to work..
Is there anyway possible to recover my data? There are lots of information and photos that I need in that internal memory
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you.
had that happen to me more than once on kitkat.
are you able to mount usb in recovery?
tried this?: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1646108
i went back to my jellybean backup and copied everything over to my computer.
I would be interested to hear how you are doing on this?
I recently had a crash on my S2 with the same version of DorimanX.
Had you repartitioned?
Thanks for your input guys.
@rgomia, the internal memory still shows corrupted and not able to read from it even from Aroma file manager
Actually I tried flashing slimsaber again and I could boot but still the internal memorys not readable from any file manager. Looks like I'll have to repartition it.
Was looking to somehow recover those lost data, but doesn't look like there's a chance
Reformatting worked and everything back to normal, Since I'm gonna get Redmi 1S anyway, I'll stay on slim kernal and use this as a backup phone. 5 years of important data and photos lost in the process :/
If your phone is bootable you should just mount it on your PC and run a file recovery program.
Your pictures are usually stored on your primary SD card.
hi guys, my English is not very good, but I will try to ask you a question to help
I have a galaxy s3.
16 GB internal memory, 5 GB partition reserved for the system
There are 11 gb usable space(stored pictures, music and applications).I erased a few pictures from this area.
I have android 4.1.2 software fix for that, but I gave my phone for repair and the new 4.1.2 ROM has been installed.
and then I did completely fill the usable space(11gb)
and I'll ask you a few questions to help
1)I hope my pictures which deleted maybe can be free(such as /cache) area in 5 gb(can not be used)
Is it possible that something?
2)Does the software(android) is always installed same memory partition?what is pit file? and emmc chip?
3)ıf ı do root ,how much memory ı can scan?(11 or 16 gb)
4)if ı will scan diskdigger after doing root,How much memory scans(11 gb or 16 gb)?
5)İs data recoverable after have make wipe data /factory reset and wipe cache partition?
6)What installed 5 GB area can not be used ?I think OS does not take up that much space.Is there a free space in this area(5gb)?
I think 3rd party data recovery software can not recover one times overwritten data?(RECUVA,ANDROİD DATA RECOVER)
Is it true that?
7)CAN I RECOVER MY VİDEO AND PİCTURE ?
Thank you in advance to everyone who helped
Search and read for the hundreds of other posts, you can dump the entire partition to your pc and then use software to scan.
Your files are almost certainly gone, I've not heard a single person who got anything back.
I checked it. Are not same status
Help please
Hi,
I've done a Nandroid backup on my s3 prior to trying to update the Android version. Looking at the memory used it's not on the ext SD card and is clearly on the internal memory but isn't visible on the phone or from my pc. I need to clean up space and move / delete.
Any help appreciated
Sorted, ended up re-installing the stock 4.3 rom and clearing everything off.
If anyone else in the UK has the same issue on the S3, the files are still out there for free but took a bit of tracking down.
