Hi!
The S2 has on stock internal storage 1,97 GB and a sd0 Card of about 11 GB. This is a build-in storage and not a physical Card like the removable sd1 Card which has a Slot.
I do not know what you exactly did but i think you are still on stock Partition. If the Phone does not work i think you should flash original Firmware with stock Partition.

hello every one
im flash the galaxy s2 32 gig and only now 16gig know(sorry for my bad english)
i flash it with any rom but only 16 gig known
i dont know why?
is the difrent between pit 16 gig with 32 gig?
Your 32gb microSD is only showing 16GB?
Or do you mean that your phone won't read your 32GB microSD and it is only showing internal storage?
Think he/she means it was the 32gig version before flashing now its showing up as 16gig? Maby soMething to do with the ROM?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
This sounds so funny ^^
Lets get to the part where we fix it ;]
1. Maybe it is a 16gb and someone tricked you into thinking it was 32gb...
2. Put it into sd card reader and format it or use some software to format it or maybe there is a extra partition on your sd card.
I'm thinking number 1 is your problem though...

That's how I read it too, the phone has 32gig internal memory but after flashing, it only shows as being a 16gig.
Perhaps I got that wrong?

Where you been for the past few months lol, I read months ago that a 32gb version of the S2 would be released, not sure what countries it's available in though, it's not being released everywhere from what I read, unless samsung have changed their mind.

never use pit if you dont have to...im thinking it must be something to do with the rom you flashed buddy..hope you sort it out..and 32gig you lucky devil you
Ah, the pitfalls of flashing the wrong PIT.
You'll need to find someone who has a stock 32gig unit that can dump the PIT for you.
(Someone might be able to guess the layout, but that could brick your phone if they guess wrong.)
Dude if you use the PIT for the 16 GB version then it will setup the partitions like the 16 GB version giving you 16 GB of internal storage. You'll need to get the .PIT file for the 32 GB version and reflash with it.
Yet another person who didn't follow freely available advice on flashing and has seen a negative consequence of doing so.
If you are sure your I9100 is a 32GB one, use the GT-I9100_EXT4_32G.pit file to re-partition the internal memory of your phone.
Caution: Re-partition is a HIGH RISK operation. Make sure USB connection between your phone and PC is reliable. Otherwise it might brick your phone.

I was thinking Samsung had forget to sell the 32Gb version.
Your problem looks like strange ^^

Hey, I've attached the 32gb pit file from the first official JB ROM (LSJ).
incase the phone still shows 11gb internal memory after flash, go to settings>memory>format usb memory. The device will unmount the usb memory and voila, 26gb on remount! THANK YOU to all above posts and other threads, sites help solve this dreadful issue!

That pit doesn't work (at least with CM 12.1).
Can someone post one that will, preferably one with bigger app storage space.
Like on this post for the 16GB version http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...es/mod-partition-internal-memory-app-t2538947 .
Hi all,
I just noticed that my mass storage is not displaying my actual 32GB as it used to when It had Gingerbread on...instead it now displays only 11.4GB as the mass storage space available...can somebody clarify this to me? Am I missing something? I have checked my apps usage and there's nothing that's using up all the space, I don't even have any movies or anything that may take up the space..so i'm not sure what's going on here. I also remember it used to show around 29GB instead of 32, but not 11GB as it is doing now !!!
I'm on OMEGA Rom Series 7 (ICS)

did you mount your external sd on pc and check the size? goto disc management in windows and see if you accidentally partitioned your card.

Btw, I'm talking about the Mass storage not the memory card...my memory card is fine.
A friend just told me that something may have partitioned my mass storage by mistake or something...is there a way to fix this Via CWM without having to erase everything??
That is common for people that flash a rom with the wrong pit (which you should never use) The only fix is to get the right pit file and flash your phone again.
shadowofdarkness is correct, if not you are seeing your external as internal (some custom roms or CWMs tend to mix this up) and it's a partitioning problem.
Thanks alot shadowdarkness for the hint...I was going nuts...I reflashed with the correct pit file and the mass storage is correct now :thumbup:

Format HOW? If you used WINDOWS format, do it again and dont tick use FAT, make it FAT32 or NTFS, that MIGHT solve it. Otherwise you'll have to go into Linux and do it.
If you flashed a bad firmware, sucks to be you, there are hints of fixes around the forums, do some searching.

I have just solved it. I flashed with wrong PIT. So try to flash by ODIN with right PIT file.
Hi all,
I made a mistake and checked the option RE-PARTITION during an firmware upgrade...
Now I've got 11.34Go of total space instead of ~15Go.....:crying:
How can I get the the normal size ?
Thanks in advance for your help
Johann
Post in right section next time?
Anyway I've not got my device yet but I guess you need to reflash .PIT?
now that you made me think about it, I have the same issue! 11.35Gb total internal space!
I've never noticed beacause the same day I bought my S3 H3G I've flashed the ITV rom..
So I think I checked that stupid flag too... but I am pretty sure to have double-checked everything before flash, I'm absolutely not new to Flash and Odin...
Anyone has got a solution?
Maybe a new partition table file (PIT) to flash along with a new rom, could do the magic?
Mines always been 11.35gb. I think that the phone uses some of the sd card space for system files.
Please don't flame me if I'm wrong, just that I've never seen 15~gb free space.

WHAT ? Do you guys realize that 16 GB version have 11.25 GB usable ? Do you never had a pendrive or a sdcard ? But I can say that you are lucky you don't bricked your phone having re-partition enabled.
my sd size has always been 11.25gb. never "accidentally" ticked re-partition so must be normal. could other users confirm? btw where can we get the correct .pit from as iv seen a few versions.
You have not lost anything. The internal sd is used by system also with many partitions. So no worries. Just do not tick repartition ahaon unless it is specified by the firmware you are glashing todo so.

haha, very funny big-brain guy, but my 16GB SD card has 14.91GB formatted, so 11GB avaiable on the 16GB internal memory it's an evidence that something goes wrong, or the memory has other not-so-small partitions, or the memory itself is damaged.
Just wanted to ask, you know, this is a forum
Well, Android itself is like 1.2 GB, and 1 or 2 gb are for apps. ROM.

And I just wanted to answer, big-brain guy. There is memory reserved space + android system which I havent included in the first comment. As I said, you were lucky you didn't bricked the phone re-partitioning the memory. Take care next time

You can't exactly... the "internal storage" in your screen shot is the /data partition for installing applications, that is the normal place apps go. Under normal circumstances you cannot install apps to your internal (12.5GB) storage, it is considered external storage to the operating system, hence why it is in /sdcard0 and your real microSD card is /sdcard1. To use these areas for apps you must use a tool like App2SD, Link2SD, or similar app, and only some apps can be moved, if it has a widget it cannot be moved and there are a few other rules that it will ward you about.
Okay.... So I did what you said and tried link2sd, but when moving apps to SD I get an 'INSUFFICIENT STORAGE ERROR'
And isn't there suppose to be an 'move to SD card' option in this app?
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
No, not in KitKat anyways, it doesn't have the SD card support that ICS had, Google hates SD cards for some reason, and has been limiting SD card support more and more in each Android version since Ice Cream Sandwich.
As far as the error in Link2SD, not sure, I haven't used it in years... Sorry.
I can be able to move apps to sdcard0 on omni kitkat rom...guess I'll stick 2 it,other kitkat roms excluding liquidsmooth and omni are a bit laggy

Sounds like you need to format the internal storage then mount it and just for good measure backup the external and format that and then mount too. I had a similar problem and when I did this all is well. I hope this helps.

How do you go about formatting the internal sd card. I just went from 4.2 to 4.4.4 and now TWRP and CWM recoveries will not mount and recognize the internal card. I can't even access the internal card to format it or anything else. How do I go about fixing this. 4.4.4 is pretty sweet.
