Flashing a stock firmware 4.0.4 rom with the pit file.
I downloaded the Odin in the Dev forum and it had the pit included.

Hi all, I recently brought a used samsung galaxy s2 (i9100) but the guy who had it before me has rooted the phone (clockwork recovery one) and he has installed ICS. Everything seems to work fine but the problem is when i go to the SETTINGS>STORAGE page i have 1.97gb internal storage and 4.11gb usb storage. so i have like 8 gig of the internal memory missing! how do i fix this? If i have to reflash the phone could you please also give me the links to download the files and a good walkthrough. I live in the UK so if possible could i have an unbranded uk copy of ICS. Thanks :fingers-crossed:
Also there are 2 apps installed... SuperSU and CWM

thats because of the wrong pit file which is causing the problem for u
try flashing the correct pit file thro ODIN after checking 're-partition' and u will have ur fullsdcard size back

For the same reason that whenever you buy a external HDD or a SD Card its never the full amount you expected. Manufacturers use different scale to count a MB and GB then 99% of desktop/mobile OS's do.

Hi Guys,
Anyone can help, i messed up my I9300 sdcard, i tried everything i know
- Tried to re-partetion using .pit file and ODIN 3.07
- Tried to flash the stock rom "it works but the device keep restart and freeze"
i guess the issue is that my internal sdcard is not well partitioned now cause a softer reading the device information telling that my rom is 11.8 gb and my sdcard 11.8gb as well.
Please help, i'm dyeing
Thanks in advance.
Techies,
My Samsung 32 GB S III (I9300) had some issue with IMEI while updating with Kies, then i sent it for repair . After i received the phone i have noticed that Internal Memory is showing only 16 GB since the phone is 32 GB. i didn't put any SD card . I have browsed and tried lot of methods PIT through ODIN but no luck.
If anyone faced this issue please help me to resolve , or share your ideas .
Thanks

Hi guys! I have a problem with my Samsung Galaxy J2 Prime (SM-G532M). It had 16GB of internal memory, until it flashed with an internet firmware. After that it is only recognizing 8GB of internal memory. After a lot, a lot, but a lot of research, I did not find a firmware that made available the 16GB and not a PIT file. I studied a bit about PIT files, but nothing that enabled me to edit the various partitions, with their "strange" values. I even tried to use the Samsung Galaxy J2 Prime TV PIT file (SM-G532MT) believing it to be 16GB (but I used the SM-G532M's PDA). But compared them I realized they were the same! Please help me! Having more 8GB of internal memory and not being able to use it is lousy!
I have the same problem, I noticed that using the app file explore it only finds 2gb only, this is very strange. I also downloaded several firmware and can not change
Having the same problem here, and it's making me insane! Can someone help? After flashing the stock rom the phone tells me i have only 8gb internal storage instead of my actual 16gb.
I solve it; although I'm not sure how.

I made multiple attempts, until I could find the "recovery mode", there I did all the "wipes" and then I gave "mount storage". Then, after the restart I already recognized the storage of 16 Gb.
Here are my hypotheses: 1) The ROM was not completely installed. Well, until he finally entered the recovery; did not finish working the "android". 2) Simply, complete cleaning is necessary after installation of the ROM STOCK. 3) I did not recognize the storage because the extra storage was not "mounted" for which the ROM was not prepared that we invented (it may be prepared for the 8 GB version). 4) I forgot the fourth hypothesis. Excuse me. Greetings, I hope you find it useful. That was the only reason to answer here.
