Hi
Tried to install the downgrade package to downgrade my phone to lollipop but internal memory shrank to 4 GB only.
Downgrade has been failed, tried to do anything without success.
Any ideas

This has happened to me. Factory reset through stock recovery fixed it for me
Tell me what steps you did for downgrade

I managed to get back to Android 5 and EMUI 3.1 with a rollback file.
Here what I did:
1. Download Downgrade pack.
2. Download C185B130 ROM, which i want to install.
3. Backup of the current system with Hisuite (everything. Apps, media, contacts, call log, etc.)
4. Copy update app from Downgrade pack to dload folder on mobile internal memory.
5. Restart phone with [VOL+] + [VOL-] + [Power] buttons to force update.
6. The system will be installed from mobile internal memory. I had no issues with the installation.
7. Copy update app from C185B130 ROM to dload folder on mobile internal memory.
8. Restart phone with [VOL+] + [VOL-] + [Power] buttons to force update.
9. The system will be installed from mobile internal memory. I had no issues with the installation.
10. Factory reset the mobile if the memory is showing 4gb.
11. The the native app icons look different than my previous lollipop system.
Thanks to tgergo and rest of everyone for the kind help.

Hi,
I also have a question regarding this topic. Does anyone know, what I mustn't do to preserv the content of the internal SD-Card?
I did the following:
1. made a backup copy with the ClockworkMod Recovery (of Android 2.3.6)
2. flashed my Samsung Galaxy S with Android 4.2
3. I forgot something in the old firmware so I tried to recover it.
3a. made a backup of the current firmware with ClockworkMod (I think 5.xx)
3b. tried to restore it (see step 1). this failed.
So - now I try to get a running system on my device. I would like to use the factory rom of samsung, that I downloaded. (last Android 2.3.6)
Can I flash with odin without loosing the data of the internal SDCard? I think I do not have to check "Re-Partition"? Any hints?
Regards,
Georg

Soon as you flashed 4.2 it erased your Internal SD your internal SD card will get wiped always when restoring back to stock and yes you have to check repartician

ok - so can anyone tell me if I can access the content of the internal SD Card befor I destroy it?
When I upgraded to Android 4.2 (Cyanogan Mod) it didn't wipe my sd card.
Cheers,

Cyanogenmod is a different patrician layout it should have wiped it and if it didn't you could have very easily got a brick you always wipe the internal memory when switching rims and no there's no way to get the internal memory you should have a SD card or not even try a ROM how the hell did you flash cyanogenmod anyway? Side load?

There seems to be some confusion about what you're referring to as your "internal SD card". When you do a backup with CWM, it's written to /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/date-derived-folder-name/. This is on your removable SD card. The backup you made of your GB ROM should still be there.
If you used cwm4_fixed_for_cm7-CWM.zip to do the backup, chances are that the date used to name the folder is wrong - year 2000 something... Do not rename it! Some older cwm versions use the name in calculating the CRC before you restore.
Anyway to restore that original backup you must Odin back to stock, install the same cwm version used for your backup, and then you should be able to restore.
Good luck with it

Sounds great!
With "Internal SD-Card" I mean that I did not plug in any microSD card. /sdcard/... is not re-partitioned? sure?
I will try to flash back via odin and restore my backup.
Sorry for asking so strupid but I think it is better to ask one more time than making something that I cannot revert. I am no android expert, sorry.
[EDIT}
I flashed it the simple way: rooted my phone, flashed it via CWM (10.1 nightly zip on internal /sdcard) and than rebooted. Everything worked fine as expected. The only thing, thats not working, is the cam - but that is another topic...

Hi,
may be a noob question, but after flashing some roms (only wipe cache/dalwik,system,data -> not internal storage)
i have now under settings > storage :
7 GO used in internal storage with Android System 5.6 Go.
Is this normal ?
Or shall i do a clean up with either factory reset or flash again a rom with this time wipe internal storage (after some data backed up) ?
Thanks for reply.
Rodolphe
5.6 + 7 Go equals 12.6 Go, you may have some junk files in your internal storage.
Backup your media and wipe your internal storage

My software is corrupt ..and then update the software is again download but momery is 2GBP available
Hi ,I updated my HH7 PLK-L01-C185B130 (middle east version) to B380 and then by OTA to B382. I found that security and fast charging options were gone in this update. so I decided to downgrade to Lollipop. I used Rollback package 6.0-5.0.2 to downgrade. although it installed but didn't showed the transition firmware (B300). Now I put already downloaded C432B121 ROM into dload folder of micro SD and flashed it. it installed successfully and now build number is PLK-L01C432B121. The problem is phone's internal storage has been reduced to only 3.8Gb total. :crying::crying:
I have tried to go to recovery mode to wipe data and cache but it fails and shows "Software install failed"
I know i have mixed the firmwares and the old one would still be present in internal storage which has consumed all the storage. Please guide me to recover this. thank you
Can you bring your device to the service center?

You can flash downgrade package again and then flash correct firmware according to you build number
I factory reset the phone and recovered the 10gb internal storage.

Hi all!
I came from Nougat and update to Oreo following a step by step from XDA.
Flashed the update thru Odin, patched Dm verity also with Odin and flashed TWRP. No root.
After it boots into the system it shows 24GB total internal storage (on ES Explorer and Disk Usage. Samsung "My Files" shows 32GB...
Tried all I read here.
Tried booting in TWRP and format data.
Tried wiping all ways.
Tried downgrading to Nougat.
No success...
Any clues?

32 GB is the total storage WITH SYSTEM
24 GB is the storage that you can use.

Oh, really???!!!
Geez...
But it has always been like that or it is something that started being shown like this recently (Nougat and Oreo)?
Anyways, thank you for the answer!
It's always been like that because I have a Galaxy Tab 3 tablet with Android 4.4.2 (KitKat) and it shows the same thing.
8gb for system?
In a terminal emulator or adb do:
df > /sdcard/df.txt
Post it here.
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 )

The internal storage content may be backup separately so you will retrieve everything at any time.

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?
