The phone thinks my 32gb G2 is 16 GB - G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi!
While trying to modify framwork-res.apk my phone got lost in a bootloop. So i restored it through Lg's software which i found in their website.
The phone booted normaly again, but asked for some sort of pin/passoword, and i could not do anything without it. So I held power+vol down to factory reset it. Now the phone booted normally as factory restored.
But now the it says that i the phones total capacity is 10.77 gb!
What should i do?
Thank you in advance!

It would seem like you now have two instances of the operating system present... Strange.
I would suggest that you reset it again, but god knows, maybe you lose another 10gb?!

your password code is the password code thats on your simcard
if you have 16gb model 10gb free space is about right.
I see no issues here

Sorry, I forgot to mention that i have the 32 gb version. And no, it is not the sim pin. I Tried 10 different password and none of them worked.

ok that sucks. I dont know anything else that can help! Maybe factory reset

Did you use the wrong KDZ?
Some European models only have 16GB storage, are you sure you didn't flash one of those firmwares? It seems like a logical explanation.
It really goes for any phone; if the software is made only for a certain amount of storage, that's the amount it will recognize.

I don't think that is the issue, since the Lg software chose the right KDZ for my by the IMEI nr. There is also only one version to download for european unlocked phones, from what i can see.
Edit:
Now i have installed TWRP again, made a FULL wipe, and even TWRP tells me that the internal storage is 10742MB so i guess the problem isn't with the LG software?

Hm yeah there might be a bug with the software. You have what model exactly? What firmware are you running?

I have the international model.
Model:LG D802
SoftwareVersion: D80210A-EUR-XX
Version:JDQ39B
Baseband:M8974A-AAAANAZM-1.0.190036
But isn't it very weird that the recovery is showing 10 gb aswell?
I have read this thread for Nexus 4. But cannot follow the guide since we donnot have any bootloader files for the G2

Defective storage possibly? So you had 32GB but after TWRP only 16GB?

No I had 32 Gb, but after LGs return to stock method, i got 10,77. The restore went well, but when the phone restarted i asked for some kind of pin, and it was not the simcard pin. I could not do anytning without it, so i made a factory reset trough holding down power+ vol down. And after that i had 10.77 gb.
After that proccess i have tried to wipe data and storage with both CWM and TWRP. I have also restored the phone 3 times with lgs software.

You might have to reflash specific parts of the firmware through fastboot. I had this issue when my 16gb nexus 4 thought it was an 8gb model. These are the instructions I used to fix it.

I have read that thread. But from what i know there is no bootloader img files to flash for the g2 yet? Or am i wrong?

What if the the storage isn'nt mounted correctly, does anyone know if I somehow could remount it trough the terminal or adb shell?

I have the exact same issue.
I have the 32GB model (are there even an 16GB version?), and after a faulty flash I had to use the LG Mobile Support Tool to get back to the original FW etc.
Now I have only 10.77GB available.
And it does say that the model is the 32GB when I check the hardware-info on the android itself.
Maybe this has something to do with me using the adbcommand for mounting storage incorrectly?
I thought however it would be reset when I used the LG Mobile Support Tool to hardreset everything though.

Nobody with any ideas?

hey thanks for the reply,
no as the phone is hard bricked its 100% unusable, if it would even switch on that would be fantastic.
its more complex than soft brick.
im having the same problem... is your note alive again?
Return it and claim warranty, tell them that your phone suddenly went off and that you don't know the reason. They may replace the board for you.
wow thats sad

Then it's up to you to convince your client to return it to Samsung for warranty. As for recovering his data, that is the hard part.

Do you mean the bootloader that needs to be written as T-Flash to a microsd using Odin 3.09 or higher? (as per 13-58_SM-N900_Boot_Recovery_Guide_rev1.0.pdf) Isn't that just the same as sboot.bin written raw to first sectors of microsd?
I would be interested to hear if you managed to use that just for the "extreme hacking" angle of it :good:

hi sorry way over my head
this was back in October. I tried using an unbrick.img for the sm905 N3 Flashed to microsd and I was supposed to just
put in the sd card in my phone so it could boot into download mode but was unsuccessful as I needed an unbrick.img made up for my device
model sm9005. hope that helps.

I do not think the microsd is enough - the Note3 ONLY boots from microsd if you short R4075 on the mainboard - there is a notice from Samsung service somewhere around with a name like 13-58_SM-N900_Boot_Recovery_Guide_rev1.0.pdf that describes the details (and comes with a good picture of what you need to short).

Take the battery out to power off the device then try getting into Download mode, reflash your Firmware and voila you're good to go

How can we tell that? You bought it...
Depends what model it is and where you are (which you haven't disclosed). D802, for instance, means you can flash any of the non-16G versions that are open. Using one from you region is advised.

None of the Spanish ROMs are open, they are all carrier versions.
Suggest you use no. 52 off the list (newer version) or no. 40 (original release). Both will work in Spain.
You MUST do a factory reset BEFORE flashing... use the phone reset therefore.

LG G2 Lost 32GB memory
We welcome ... I read these 2 pages of threads and tried versions posted in the hope that I will recover all my phone memory ... disappointing result, 10Gb available.
The history goes like this: I installed some software in it (eg, G2 and G2 Xposed TweaksBox Modules etc..) After uninstalling I reset and has not started, do not boot, stuck at LG logo, LED illuminated green - blue. I installed the new software (not specified taking up 16GB or 32GB) in download mode after restart I saw that no parent available all the memory (26GB) 10GB only. I installed and 32GB versions but nothing, same result.
I tried the above guide and I do not recognize all the commands ... I do not know what I do, do you have any idea?
Thank you very much !

[Q] how do i mount storage back

You already mounted it, but you flashed wrong kdz file before.
You need apply 32GB fix. It can be found somewhere in XDA, just search it

The root and the twrp worked grwat for two days - then something died in my phone. I sent it back to ZTE and they determined the best course of action was to replace it (fully covered RMA job). Since they decided to replace it I guess the problem with my phone wasn't software so I seriously doubt tenfar's root solution was to blame.

Oh yes, rooted my desire eye and flashed a couple roms.
ok - if you have any questions after reading the instructions the best advise I can give you is to wait. ZTE states they are currently working on posting the A2017U full factory images online. That is supposed to be the failsafe - if something goes wrong you flash that. If things seem straight forward to you then go for it. Lots of people have used it successfully - it worked great for me until I had hardware failure, and I doubt tenfar's root caused it
Its worked like magic, Tenfars Root. With DrakenFX and Unjustified DEV Unlocked sources, super. Oh hell yeah i rooted and Unlocked my Device Axon ZTE 7 A2017 China Model with 6GB through this ways!!! TWRP, TITANIUM BACKUP are so much working well. l'm very proud of you guys. Keep it up guys. Thank you all so much. I used this magic in my Monster Axon ZTE 7 China Model 6GB RAM 128 GB intern disc. It's goes too with SanDisk either 200GB or 256 GB Extern Disc. I'm using 200GB SanDisk right now.
Unable to enter EDL via keys (not Tenfar's fault!)
Yes, I rooted without problems following this guide
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=68302434&postcount=157
Just be careful. I got problem with data encrypted when booting to TWRP, but you can flash XPOSED from flashfire.
