Nexus 16GB now became 8GB after flashing factory image.. wtf?? - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

How to fix this? I followed all the procedures in the factory flash guide

Oops.
First plug it in and actually see if it's capacity is now 8GB or if it's just a text bug.
If so, Factory Restore, and if that doesn't work, Flash the Image again :/

I had this happen to me on the 7. And more then once.
It seems to happen when you flash each image separately instead of doing the -w update way.
Try that way if you didn't do it already. If you did try a factory reset recovery.

Help Formatted Data

I was playing with TWRP and tryign to re-flash my rom and instead of factory resetting, i accidentally formatted data, in which you have to type yes. For some dumb reason I thought that was factory reset, then i flashed my roms like no problem and now its loops at the screen. I then tried to factory reset and it says failed.
I did a search and i found out i have to adb push the rom to the directory but i already ahve the rom on my sd card, would this fix it to?
Are you fimiliar with Odin?

Flash userdata.img again, make sure to backup all things from the phone because this will wipe everything

okay i wll try flash using nrt
boot into stock recovery and erase everything
wipe data and cache/Factory reset. do it in STOCK recovery, in this case custom recovery wont work.
If you want to avoid using fastboot and/or recovery again, you can just simply go over to Settings -> Storage -> Factory Reset.
Did the trick for me.
I had the same issue. I wiped the cache and did a factory reset. Was all good afterwards

Restored phone to stock Google image. Storage now shows as 32GB instead of 64GB.

I had to restore my phone to stock last night by manually flashing the 6P image from Google's Nexus page. I noticed that the storage now shows as 32GB instead of 64GB total. Has anybody run into this problem and/or know how to fix this?
I believe you can go into stock recovery and perform an onboard factory reset, which will set it to the right size. Hopefully you didn't restore all your apps already. If you did start restoring and you happen to be unlocked/rooted/have TWRP installed, make a backup with TWRP and put it in a safe place, then wipe /data and restore the backup.
That fixed it. Thanks!

A few issues

I'm currently on pure nexus/ then restored stock and titanium backup is displaying an insufficient storage error when trying to back up an app. Also, I can't download anything from Firefox or chrome.
I've reflashed the ROM and it didn't solve my issues. What can I do to fix this?

Did you use a factory image before installing Pure Nexus? The factory image defaults to the lowest storage size, which is 32GB. There are a few methods to fix it, one of which is a factory reset from stock recovery. I believe it can be done from ADB as well, but it still involves wiping the partition.

Yeah, I flashed the 6.0.1 image via fastboot. I did a clean install. I ended up restoring a stock backup and am having the same insufficient storage space error in the app.
So, what your saying is to revert to stock recovery to factory reset even if I have twrp installed?
And what do you think about not being able to download anything in a browser?

The method I have seen is to flash stock recovery and do a factory reset. I believe I read you could also use "fastboot format userdata". I have never tried any of these because I've always had the lowest size Nexus devices (N7 2013, N6 and N6p). It's a pretty common problem with flashing the factory image though.

As far as Chrome not downloading, I'm guessing if internal storage was full, it wouldn't let you download because there was nowhere to put the files.

6p all of a sudden won't boot up.

Got my 128 gb 6p last Tuesday, unlocked, decrypted, flashed Pure Nexus, joy no problems. This morning I decided to try God kernel, flashed booted up but I found out the camera stopped working. So restore a backup, no boot, just stays on the Google boot animation. Full wipe, reflash Pure Nexus, still won't boot, stayed on the animation an hour. So I guess I try a factory image next. Thoughts on this?
Thanks

Factory image it is. Flash all files individually. Do not flash userdata.img or you will end up with 32GB of storage. Use fastboot format userdata instead.
Take a look at this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6p/general/guides-how-to-guides-beginners-t3206928
Next time when you backup, disable your lock screen pin/pattern/password
For the 6P you always want to backup Boot, System, Data and VENDOR (i learnt that the hard way)
Yeah I flashed back to stock and it booted. I don't understand what could have happened that would have survived full wipes and a clean flash and still not allow it to boot. Never had something like this happen before.

Go back to bootloader and use command fastboot format userdata. OS will create its own partition of correct size. First boot will take a little longer.

Your the man! I was over complicating everything. My first solution was to compile temasek ROM, he has a commit in android_build to create userdata64.img and then fastboot that.
Your solution is easier. Thanks
