Friends I updated my S2 to ICS 4.0.4 via Kies and after that when i formatted my USB Memory i was shocked to see that the USB Memory shrunk down to 4.11GB from 11.5GB.
I tried flashing the official I9100_XWKL1_INU_2.3.6 but NO SUCCESS !!!
I tried flashing the same firmware using pit file u1_02_20110310_emmc_EXT4 nut NO SUCCESS again !!!
I don't want to use GB 2.3.6 tough, please guide me how to get back my S2 running with official ICS 4.0.4 (I1900XWLPW Firmware, for INDIA).
I am banging my head since last 3 days to get it fixed, have searched and tried everything found on net, any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks !!!

hi,
I have got myself into a situation where I am seeking your knowledge. I have flashed all 4 files including the pit file on gs2 but now memory has been reduced to 8gb. Is there a way to revert back to 16gb?
I am thinking of either reflashing the stock Androind 4.0.3 which might fix this?
or flash the recovery pit file posted in one of the forums plus other 3 files?
Please let me know.
Thanks
V
All sorted just used the recommended pit file from the forum which i presume was extracted from 4.0.3 and then erased ny usb and it was back to 16 gb

Same Problem
I flashed the file too and my internal storage is donw to 8 from 16gb. Can someone post the pit file from 4.0.3 16gb if this works?
Edit:
on sammobile download the latest flashprogramm. There is a Pit file which could recover the storage maybe.
Edit 2:
Problem solved. Downloaded Flashprogramm + Pit on sammobile. Flashed the new Firmeware and selected Re-Partition with the pit which was in the Zip with Odin. After flash formatet internal Storage and Taadaa! My 11.50GB are back.
Best Regards
Daora
There's one on xda search for android 4.0.4 thread and someone has posted one there. Good luck.

how i can fix that issue i was trying reinstall ics but it still doesnt work.HELP! Sry my bad english!
Sounds like you've flashed an incorrect .pit. Also, is that really a 512MB microSD? Hardly seems worth it .

Thanks for the help i will try to install with new pit but where i cant get official fw with official pit? idownloaded that fw from sammobile by my model. and i will get soon 32gb micro sd this 512 just in case for installing frimwares .
galaxy s2
Can someone post the link with stock frimware with pit? i dont find it anywhere.
I think you kan find your firmware and pit here, at xda. Just use the "search" button.
otherwise - go to sammobile.com.
Actually I had the same problem as you with 4Gb of USB storage after formatting it. If you'll do as I told you earlier - the problem will be solved.
good luck.

Look for the sticky at the top of Q&A titled "[GUIDE] Fix an unflashable or soft bricked GSII (I9100G/M/P/T VERSION INCLUDED!)"
Has recovery packages (which all, except for the I9100G package, include .pit files) for I9100, I9100G, I9100M, I9100P, and I9100T.
Make sure you use the correct one for your model.

PIT files for GT-i9100
If anyone wants/needs to repartition their internal storage, follow this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2538947
Note that these are for ONLY the Samsung Galaxy S II International GT-i9100. Also be careful when flashing PIT files, as it can permanently brick your phone if something goes wrong. And I mean a real, permanent brick. Flash at your own risk.
WARNING: Doing this will wipe out your phone entirely. You'll also need a PDA file to flash along with the PIT. Check sammobile for firmware (PDA) downloads.
fix sdext memory card size error for every phone or usb memory
You have to connect your phone to a pc from the recovery (apolo kernel in my case)
-mounts and storage
-mount usb storage (something like that)
And will apear like any sd card ,so you will be able to format
Just format the internal sd card with HDD LOW LEVEL FORMAT TOOL . You wont need to install any pit file
Just copy ALL data from your internal memory and paste before format it.
Thanks!!!

Good day, really sorry if this topic has been covered before. Unfortunately i have read a 100 threads and i am not able to get an answer for my problem. Please guys do help me out.
I have a SGS2 I9100 with 16gb of internal memory. I rooted the phone and put the F1 Nexus custom rom. Everything worked fine, until i decided to Format the Internal SD card/ Memory of the phone via settings. Immediately after that my internal memory has shrunk from 16gb to 4gb. I was just shocked. Also when connected through USB it shows 4gb of memory and also say that it is a Generic Volume, instead of FAT 32.
I have done every solution -
1. Flash stock rom through ODIN, worked but memory still 4gb
2. Wiped cache, data, factory reset, fix permission, delvik cache, everything basically wiped and installed either custom or Stock rom.
3. I have used custom recovery cmw, install through zip, everything installs but memory is stuck to 4gb.
Nothing has helped so far, please do help me out as i am not able to do anything now with 4gb of memory.
I am hoping someone will look into this, also is there a reason why this would happen. I dont think i will want to root anymore.
Have you flashed a stock sammy 4.0.4 rom with the pit file? If so that may be the culprit. Some people were experiencing that problem last month. All they did was flashed an older pit file which brought back their missing storage. Unfortunately i have no link for that post but you may search for it in the threads over at the general or Q and A forum. Or if someone passes by here maybe they can give you a link to that also.

You need to flash a .pit file with Odin. But I have no idea where to get one.
You need the one for i9100, not i9100G/M/T. If you're not sure which one you have, go to settings-about phone.

Thanks guys for the quick replies. I have not tried flashing an older .pit file...will get one and see if it works.
If anyone has any other solutions..please do let me know
dont format through windows or phone.....use a special software to format mmc.....it will be recovered.....search on google[sd card formatter]......i also had this issue with pendrive and this helped me
I have flashed with 404 with pit file, same trouble, re flashed with original ROM with a pit file found with a generic search in Google (after I've tried everything on this earth), then internal Sd came back to the original size after formatting it.

I have a formatting tool, the problem is that it is not recognized as a drive: by windows 7. So basically i cant see the drive to format it.
Neither Linux can do that, pit file will do the trick (I think) than format with the command you can give with your phone, not with the pc, lol.

Pit files are far from same for all Gs2's. Flash a wrong file and you have a very expensive paper weight. Not exactly to be messed with just like that...

I just went from 4GB to my 11.5 GB on my i9100.
The steps follow are:
Make a backup of my offical i9100 ICS ( I'm being careful !!)
Mount the storage in the clock wise mod
Delete the 4GB Partition (via disk utility on Mac)
Create another partition (via disk utility on Mac)
Restart the phone
Format the USB storage
& here you go with 11.5 Internal Storage Back !!!
Hello,
I just bought a used samsung galaxy s II on ebay. It is not rooted as the owner said. I have checked using RootChecker application and seems it is not.
version: 89100XXLQ5
kernel: 3.0.15-I9100XXXLQ5-CL753921 [email protected] #3
compilation: IMM76D.XXLQ5
And it seems it has the same problem. Only 4GB instead of 16GB. What should I do? I do not want to root it, if it wasn't before, probably it can be solved differently.
I do not own a mac to do what was suggested. SD Formatter do not see the card in win7.
Please help, if you have a clue how.
Cheers!

Can you post the full firmware version as well as the kernel version?
Hopefully it was not another superbrick.
Your internal storage? Or SD Card?
If it's your internal storage then go check out this thread, same problem.

Flash the pit file provided from the link at ercxar's post, using Odin with ONLY the .pit file.
Let it run and it will reboot and stuck during booting. Remove the battery and put it back.
Boot into download mode, flash the ROM.
