How did you manage to repair efs? Do you have signal and can make calls? You yave to re flash stock probably with PIT to repair that partition

No, I lost IMEI, but it is less, spent ROM stock and failed, gave a blue screen saying that had the DRK, and that was to fleshar the binary ENB and then install the first DRK on EFS I used command another post I saw here at XDA

No more, already solved the problem, just could not retrieve the IMEI, but it is less, this blocked it, would not be worth trying to recover

Accessing the internal memory of the s3

Okay guys, so I was wondering, since I dropped my phone the other day and now the touchscreen doesn't work at all.
I took it to a store to get it repaired and they were unable to, so I believe vodafone will replace it for $229
But my phone does do a titanium backup every 2 days at 3am, so I'm going to wait for that to happen before I take it to vodafone.
Anyway, onto the point of this thread, is there anyway to backup the internal memory of the phone?
I have done a CWM backup, but I'm unsure if that backs up the internal sd card?
Could someone confirm whether it does or doesn't, and if not if there is any way to access the internal memory with out using the phone?
Badly in need of help..

a nandroid (CWM) backup includes the phones storage incl. the internal SD card if I am not wrong.
If you have some kind of USB wire, you could try to connect a USB mouse to your S3 to navigate without the touchscreen btw.

Yeah?
Awesome, some of my data is backed up then, just missing several important texts.. Definitely regret turning my phone on now.
Is there anyway to access the internal memory with out the phone being on?
the LCD doesn't work anymore :\

well a nandroid should return your phone to the status which you had when you did it, that includes usually all data but I might be wrong with my statement for the SDcard based on the following thread or this one. Whereas I think the reference SDcard in those examples would more be equal to our "external SDcard" and not to our "internal SDcard" which is more like an internal storage, but I might be wrong.
Nandroid backup/restores don't touch the sdcard. They backup to the sdcard but the nandroid only handles /system, /data, /data/data, /cache, boot, and recovery.

the backup does not include the internal storage.
use adb to pull the files

The phone is in installation mode. ADB on linux can't detect it. I don't have access to a windows PC at the moment.
And I can't seem to turn the phone on..
Does anyone know much about the phones motherboard and circumventing the phones power button? Apparently there is some sort of issue there..
Or about accessing the phones storage without turning the phone on?

[Q] Total Space only 4GB

16GB S3 i9300, Temasek CM11 Rom
I can't get the /data partition to recognize as anything other than 4GB. I've used Mega Wipe, flashed a stock 4.3 rom w Odin, wiped data, formatted data, flashed a pit file in Odin. I don't see any backups, Disk Usage only sees the partition as 4GB. I've done this all many times just to make sure.
My mmcblk0 partition says unmounted and is 7.5GB. Could this be my issue?
Try this

Im not sure about this
Flashing a pit file is a last resort on a total brick, it could have been just legacy data held when you updated from 4.1.
Try the rescue firmware, in general thread, if formatting the internal sd card didn't help.

I tried the 4.3 Korean Rescue Firmware. Still no go. Only 4GB data partition. My phone is made in China, I'm wondering if that is why. It doesn't appear to be fake as it's taken every rom I've ever flashed to it no problem. I wish there was a little partitioning program so I could see if there's extra umounted space there. I just feel like I'm about out of options, I'm not sure what else to try. Maybe the 4.1.2 rescue rom?
Just tried 4.2.1, no go with that one either

I'm dealing with the exact same issue on a SGH-T999. It's a 32GB phone but is only registering 11.95GB. When I look at mmcblk0 it says it's unmounted (see attached screenshot). I've done many of the steps you have and still no dice. Not sure where to go from here. I hope you and I get answers to our problems.

I flashed my phone what seemed like 100 times trying everything everyone told me to do and I gave up. My phone is only 4GB but everything works, oh well! I wasted about 100 hours messing with it and nothing can make this 16GB, or ~11GB anyway. I'm hoping to pick up a bigger SD card when I get back in the states as my 16GB is about full, too.
[FIXED]

shiggins,
I finally figured this out and fixed my phone. I know you tried several things. So, let me run past you the solution that worked for me.
I located the appropriate .PIT file for my phone (S3 T999 UVDMD5). Then I flashed the stock rom with root (i.e. root66 ROM) with the PIT file. After I flashed it with the correct PIT file, I got my storage back. Have you tried this?
If you have and it didn't work, it's probably because you didn't have a good or the correct PIT file for your phone. Let me know if you want further direction and I'll do my best to assist.

I know this worked for you but I would use extreme caution here! Flashing pit files is only to be used as a last resort! ( To recover from a hard brick)...
Recommending to flash pit files when (1) Your phone is fully working apart from minor issues is very bad. or (2) When your phone is not hard bricked...It's not just you I see many posts where people just recommend flashing pit files and they don't realize the consequences Flash At Your Own Risk!!

I did flash a pit file a few times that said it was from a 16GB i9300 but that didn't seem to change my NAND partition size. I've pretty much given up, if I have a lot of extra time on my hands in the future, I may try this whole thing again but in the end I was unsuccessful and I'm usually very persistent in troubleshooting phone issues. Thanks for the advice, everyone, though.

Stock ROM uses 18,75GB????

I bought my S3 two days ago and I noticed that the system occupies 18,75GB!!! Is that correct? So what is the use on having 32GB if almost 20GB come already used from factory!!!!
Moreover, still could not root mine using the files and tutorial found around here. TWPR passes on ODIN install but gives me a boot looping... So that I can't enable adoptive storage on my 64 GB SD card.
Please let me know if it is correct.
SM-T825 (Brazil)

No, post a screen shot of your storage usage.
Thanks for your time!
Attached.
I factory reseted the tablet and the space occupied by system now is around 7,8 GB.
Somehow it was duplicated in the first case. I have flashed OS through odin after a boot loop so I think it was a cache issue.
Anyway, solved.

16GB PIT File for Samsung SM-G532M

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.

256GB internal storage down to 32GB after Magisk root

I rooted my Galaxy Tab S6 using the Magisk-only method detailed here after updating to Android 11. I had trouble with the post-Odin step (pressing power and volume up right after screen turns off) so I had to do the flash a couple more times before I got that right, but everything shows as rooted now.
However, my 256GB internal storage is only showing up as 32GB! Is that a firmware thing, or a partitioning thing? How can I fix it?
I'm confused about the stock firmware. I only see ONE firmware for my CSC/model/security revision, but there are 2 hardware versions (128gb and 256gb). How do I know which hardware version the firmware is for?
OK, and am I correct to assume this is going to wipe everything? Anyway thanks for the info! If it requires a wipe I will probably postpone this until the next time there's a security update.

Just Hard reset it from Android recovery ( stock rom ) and Format data ( custom recovery )

I actually have used SmartSwitch to seed the tablet, but it doesn't work for all my apps. Some of those apps I'm able to restore from TitaniumBackup backups, but not all, and restoring with TB often hangs. So you idea of just making a blanket clone of the internal storage makes a lot of sense! Is there a reference of what locations to backup? I mean can I avoid backing up the app/obbs themselves and just get their data?
