[Q] 8 or 16?

Well, I got my N4 3 days ago, but I recalled its a 16GB version, but now when I look back I only had 8gb?
Is there any way to identify which version am I in?
Or is there any chances that flashing stock recovery bootloader and system etc once using fastboot messed those up?
Because I'm using 4.3 this morning and I reverted earlier today.
Well, help please and thank you.

The best way is check whats written on the box.
check in system>storage.

Box never really wrote anything.
There's only 5.6GB user available space.

Check the boot loader info I think it tells you which one you have. Also there's a bug when flashing stock images the 16gb shows as 8gb. A guide in Q&A has the fix

If you are sure you bought a 16gb model this might be helpful:

If you boot to the bootloader it will say what version you have. If the bootloader say 16GB yet you only have 5.xGB free you probably need to do a full factory reset to get it to see all the storage. If the bootloader says 8GB then you're good as you are

The bootloader said I'm a mako 16gb alright.
Now on to , how to fix it. Will try what mini androidian said

That how-to he linked worked for me so it should work for you too.

WARNING: BACKUP DATA ALWAY the STEP 1
If you have custom recovery like CWM or TWRP just boot into it and wipe data and factory reset and reboot your phone.
If you have stock recovery just boot to recovery mode you will see an android buddy with a red mark on it just press the volume up + power button same time after while it will show up a list of option. Wipe Cache and factory reset then reboot your phone it should show up 12.9GB total free space on your phone now.

Thanks for the advice, I fixed it already.
Using the long method of clean wipes and reflashing everything, all I found is because I was once in 4.3 the radio is wrong and that might be it . ( although I do not see how it will affect)
In fact I'm always flashing rom to the fact that I don't have anything to lose.

I have a Nexus 4 in front of me with a diagonal crack from top left to bottom right corners of the screen.
The touch screen only responds on the upper half of the phone.
I have been tasked with getting the images, videos, music etc. from this phone, however as I am unable to unlock the phone I am finding it pretty difficult!
Is there any way to get the data from the phone using either software or hardware hacks?
I know there are a lot of very knowledgeable people on this forum, any information is appreciated, even if I have to open up the phone and start cutting wires!
Thank you,

Yes there is quite a single way to do it using ADB on your computer. Do you have that set up?

I've not got that set up no, are you talking about This?

OK I installed ADB and Fastboot.
I downloaded the custom Nexus 4 recovery from Clockwork Mod.
Booted the phone into Fastboot mode
Found the phone with ADB, tried to run the recover image... the phones LOCK STATE is LOCKED
How do I get past this!?
- Pano

EDIT:
It seems your bootloader is locked. NRT will unlock it but it will wipe your data. And a locked bootloader won't allow ADB (correct me if i'm wrong)
Try doing a factory reset through Recovery, it should get rid of the lock screen and allow you to transfer stuff through USB. I never tried to so i'm not sure will it work

Hi.
Is the device still under guarantee?
If not, you maybe can open the device and get the storage out of it, if there's no other way. First try it with this program, if you give up and there's no other way, (sorry to say this) you must do that.
Or try this:
Connect your phone to the charger
Reboot it
And start in safe mode (somehow, if you're able to do.)
...or replace the screen!
I'm so sorry for you, that something like that happened.
I hope you to manage to rescue your data somehow.
I also know the bitter feeling of data loss ;(
I hope this helped.

OK just to keep all updated and in case anyone ever uses this post in the future to help them...
I have tried everything, nothing worked as it either involved use of the touch screen at some point, or required me to have previously turned USB DEBUGGING on... I have come up with a new solution :
Using the ADB I will unlock the phone using the command
Code:
fastboot oem unlock
This will WIPE all the data from the phone, however it will allow me to finally install a custom recovery mod.
I am then going to find a way to connect the phone to the computer, clone the internal memory to a virtual hard drive and then use some recovery software to get back all the data that was "erased" when I unlocked the oem
Hopefully :fingers-crossed:....
I'll keep the thread updated

This will only work, if the Computer has FULL ACCESS to the file system.
The best Data-Recovery Program is IsoBuster by Peter van Hoove.
...and also, it's not just normal deleting but WIPING, so recovery chance is very low.
...Nexus 4 ALWAYS makes god-damn' problems: RedLight of Death, No MicroSD, Data Loss because of Google's Locked Bootloader.
My Advice The Next time you buy a Device with Android - Unlock the bootloader to avoid further problems.
I hope you to fix all problems. All the best / Have a nice day

Last hope to rescue Nexus 6p stuck in Bootloop of death(BLOD)

As you know lots of devices are facing this issue where the device is in bootloop and the bootloader is locked.
I have last hope that if anyone can help me with any one of the solution, I can rescue my nexus 6p.
Device info:
Rom: Android 7.1.1 stock rom
Bootloader: Locked (OEM unlocking not enabled in developer options)
Warranty: Ended on 14th feb 2017
Huawei said motherboard will cost Rs.28000 i.e $400 approx.
I can boot into bootloader menu and recovery as well.
I tried sideloading the OTA zips from google, it flashes successfully but still bootloops.
Note: My device didn't reboot after 90 seconds when it was in bootloader menu also I as I can sideload OTAs successfully, I don't really think that its an hardware issue.
I have 2 options as my last resort.
1. I've read that if you unenroll from Android BETA program, you get an OTA update which wipes your entire device.
BUT for this I must be able to boot which I cannot.
HELP: Can anyone provide me the BETA unenrolled OTA link so that I can try sideloading it?
2. I've also read that we can flash all partitions of nexus 6p in EDL mode refer:https://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6p/general/howtos-debrick-nexus-6p-stuck-edl-9008-t3552838

HELP: As per thread only way to boot into EDL mode is by ADB which I can't access as my phone doesn't boot up.
Can anyone help me with booting my device into EDL mode so that I can try flashing this file.

I already did 3 days ago in the first thread you started on this:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=71699404&postcount=15

I have the same problem with my Nexus 6p. I have switched to an iphone 7.
Is Google a serious organization to let so many users suffer because of their problems? I mean this really HAS to be seriously unethical company to do this. As for Huawei, well- we should have known and expected such behavior. At the end of the day it is a Chinese brand... so it needs to maintain its low levels of reputation to be worthy of its fine name.

Bricked phone. Being a massive dumbass

Hey. I've bricked my Huawei P10 lite, literally just for the sole reason alone that I'm an idiot. I was in the process of relocking/unrooting when I did a massive choke - I've relocked the bootloader and IMMEDIATELY closed the goddamn tab. I haven't written the code down anywhere. When I've rebooted my phone, I discovered I have exactly 0 ways of doing a wipe, since the TWRP was obviously gone.
Hitools returns that the phone cannot be recovered due to not being supported.
Recovery? There isn't one. eRecovery always returns "failed to get.." yatta yatta yatta, It's not working.
The only thing currently reacting to my commands is fastboot. And, being the mr. obvious, I cannot push files onto the phone through fastboot to restore it by the full package, which was pretty much my only option at this point.
There aren't any replacement motherboards available for the P10 lite on eBay or pretty much anywhere else I could think of.
If there exists any good soul that can tell me if this is in any imaginable way reversible without getting a cracked screen phone and swapping the motherboards, PLEASE, PLEASE, do tell me.

INB4 anyone asks - No, I don't have the numbers to generate the code again either. At least not the serial id, i think.

How can I flash the original firmware? I can't even flash a recovery. The bootloader is l o c k e d, and the only thing I can access is fastboot. How am I supposed to push the files into the phones in fastboot???

But anyways i will help you with that: http://lmgtfy.com/?q=huawei+p10+lite+dload+method

I DO NO HAVE A WAY TO PUSH THE REQUIRED FILES INTO THE DEVICE FOR THE REASONS OF LOCKED BOOTLOADER, NO RECOVERY AND NO WAY TO BOOT INTO THE SYSTEM. If you would kindly tell me how tf would it work from an OTG flash device, go ahead. Spoiler alert: It won't

Man as your post title says, you really are a massive dumbass, if you at least try to help your self with the link i send you u will see that dload method dont need to boot into system, no need for recovery and no need for unlocked boatloader, only an sd card with a folder that have original firmware for your variant.
But as you rude keep your phone as a brick.

I do not have an unlocked bootloader nor a functioning recovery AND NO DEVICE to put them on. Also nice OP dodge, but I guess that's just them being unbiasedly biased.

Little Help needed to get my 6p alive again

please help me.
I have completely wiped my device. nothing is there in internal storage. Just the TWRP folder.
it has unlocked bootloader and twrp installed
but it is the unrooted device.
so please tell me what is best for me?
shall I root it or can I directly go to stock Oero?
I have already downloaded stock file '8.1.0 (OPM6.171019.030.E1, Jul 2018)- angler-opm6.171019.030.e1-factory-1abcb2f1.zip'
I am confused, how should I proceed?
please explain me stepwise, so I can save my phone.

You will be fine I wipe my internal from time to time. Just make sure you update your bootloader and vendor. If you use the flash all I'm pretty sure it's done for you but if using fastboot method follow the steps in the hiesenberg guide. Just so you know once on the latest Oreo builds from what I've read can no longer downgrade. I haven't verified or read up on it myself but maybe look into if you think you might want to go back to nougat .

i have tried that earlier, but still i got the red triangle.
since i failed to go to stock today i installed latest twrp-3.2.2-0-angler using latest SDK tool.
then i flashed Magisk-v16.0 and then ResurrectionRemix-M-v5.7.4-20161008-angler and it immediately went to google logo and stuck there.

just use this to get back to stock https://developers.google.com/android/images
all you do is boot in to fast boot plug into pc and run flash all
there are ways to save data but you already wiped so no need
if your still confused just look up a guide of how to flash factory images and install the usb drivers

It looks good but didn't seem to flash radio and bootloader maybe just not in screen shot should boot but if it still won't boot in to the stock recovery and factory reset might help

You could have the bad big cores try flashing one of the 4 core fixes. Also I wait to flash magisk until after first boot. It can hang you on the Google screen .
