Hey guys,
I followed the OTA thread and used fastboot to install KRT16S. Everything works just fine, but, my device thinks it is the 8GB model and says only 6GB are available to me. Only my device is the 16GB model. any advice I can follow?

probably from so many updates, maybe your phone is keeping a backup of all of them. T'would explain all this usage..

On the Nexus Root Toolkit site, it says:
Perform a factory reset.
Settings > Backup & reset > Factory data reset.
This will make it display correctly again.

Well, I deleted the contents of the /sdcard during the updates, so that wouldn't be possible. Plus, it says my total available storage is 6GB, and not 13GB like it has before the update. The phone thinks it is the 8GB model!

Oh man, having to install everything again. Thanks for the tip, will try.
Where did you download the factory image for the Nexus 4? I got one form Google and it seems that the files are name incorrectly. I get a message saying the bootloader is incorrect makoz20i (should be makoz30d). Just need a reliable factory image to flash my N4.
no need to wipe all data, just wipe cache on stock recovery.
I also have same problems. My Nexus 4 16Gb, after installing kitkat KRT16S via fastboot with the factory image download from google then become nexus 4 8Gb??? I don't know what happens ?
I also have this problem - 16gb N4 now showing as only 8gb. Any fixes out there (that don't involve wiping/factory reset)? Thanks
Try wiping cache first. If that doesn't work, factory reset is your only choice.
I just noticed mine is doing the same thing...says 5.67 for total space. I had issues when I tried to flash the update, so I ended up going back completely to stock. Then about 15 minutes later, I received the notification to update to 4.4 which I did. So I didn't even flash my update. It was the normal Nexus 4 update procedure.
Update: I did a factory reset and now my phone says it has 19.92 total space. So, the factory reset fixes it. Hopefully there will be a less drastic solution to this issue at some point.
I am having a similar problem after downloading 4.4 custom rom. Tried resetting n flashing other Roms and it stays the same. Missing a lot of space here, please help?

I got a 32gb yesterday and it was 32gb..after today I just realize that my size capacity has went to 16 GB...for example...after factory reseting it shows up as free space of 13gb... All I did was flash userdata. IMG and cache.img with cwm recovery. Is there any way of fixing this?

The things you've flashed might of had the partitioning scheme in-mind of a 16GB device (which would mean the other 16GB would be unpartitioned and invisible.
You could probably try seeing if there are specific 32GB files you can flash though.

trying to i just checked and im positive my n10 is 32gb.... my serial code matches the 32gb serial code
I have this EXACT same problem and I've been busting my a** off trying to find a solution to it. I did the same as you and flashed userdata.img and cache.img after a boot loop when I unlocked the bootloader (I did factory reset but it didn't have any impact and everything I tried didn't work, including re flashing the stock image). I've looked around on Google alot and was contemplating posting too but thought I'd do some more research first cause I had a similar problem on my HTC One X. Some solutions state deleting 'lost.dir' or the lost+found folder might help but this didn't work for me. 16gb has just vanished =(

Yeah...I can't do anything....I tried almost everything
I'm going to try and full wipe again, from within the settings. If that doesn't work, I might full wipe from recovery and if that doesn't work I might try to re flash the user data and cache.img. Just can't test it yet cause I set up all my data yesterday and I can't back it up since Macs don't read 4.2 devices natively argh.

I know n7 owners had this problem. Some 32gb owners flashed the 16gb n7 image and it repartitioned the tablet to 16 gb, I haven't looked for a fix but that may be a good place to start.

AHAHAHAH! i finally fixed it!! i used the flash-all script in the nexus 10 factory image and it reformatted userdata back to 32gb! i am finally at peace!
Haha that's great to hear buddy. I know it's probably too late to ask now cause you have probably started to re download your apps and settings but do you think just flashing user data would work? The flashall doesn't work for me for some reason on my friend's mac.

No I don't think so. Its supposed to reformat the user data.IMG position. Try using a windows computer or Linux computer.
Would love to do that on my Windows computer but atm I don't have access to one cause my laptop broke just a couple of weeks back. I may try to move the stock rom to my Nexus and flash it. Will see how that goes if full wiping doesn't work. Thanks bud and glad to hear your Nexus 10 is back to normal

I think it will work on the Mac. U got to give it root permission so do sudo then the flash-all script. Make sure they're all in the same folder. In order to run it with sudo you should type sudo then drag the script into the terminal and enter. I'm not sure though if this is how you do it on Mac though

would you mind clarifying this? Maybe a step-by-step tutorial on how to fix this issue? And how not to do i (prevent it)? I'm about to root my 32gb and now I'm worried I'll flash a 16gb image or something, is that how it happened?
Glad you fixed it, but any idea what caused it so the rest of us can avoid the pain?

Can you verify what it says for Total space under:

I just did a full wipe and I got 27.26 GB (not 29)
Hi, how will I be able to know which variant (8gb or 16 gb) my nexus 4 is?
Before rooting, I think my total storage capacity is 12gb+ (I actually can't remember definitely).
Then I unlocked the bootloader and tried to flash, I was stuck in the X logo, I restarted, then I was stuck in the google logo (unlocked bootloader at this point.) I had backed up my apps and sdcard via adb.
I was stuck, so I downloaded a factory image and reflashed my device. Then I rooted it. I was done. SU installed, and it was rooted. I then reinstalled my app settings via adb again, but not the sdcard.
after sometime, putting music, movies and apps, I noticed that my device only had a total of 5.66GB.
I bought it 2nd hand, BTW.
So what happened? Now, I just want to confirm really how much storage I have so I can get back my money if this was indeed an 8gb version instead of 16gb. Any ideas?
Thanks!
All of the media you put onto your Nexus 4 takes up room. How many movies did you put? How many songs? If you feel that there is something wrong with the amount if storage available, then you can try formatting your SD.
I also remember that there's a bug on 16GB models to only show 8GB.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
there is a similar issue that occurs with the nexus 7. i remember it was talked about before in some threads. after flashing the images, did you do a factory reset or clear data in recovery? this seems to have the issue fixed. some units show up as 8gb after a reflash however a reset thru settings or clear data fixes this.
Do what thephantom said. Recovery must be stock though, not custom. If you need more help. I made a little how-to guide a couple months ago for this very problem: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=35119185#post35119185
thank you guys... I'm relieved that it is a bug, I hope it is a bug in my case... One question though, do you suggest back up with adb + sdcard or titanium? my previous settings were not backed up using adb cmd (I'm not sure though, since I didn't push back the sd backup)

So I've been looking and I haven't found an answer to this problem
I have a 16 gig nexus 7 and I like to tinker with it. I rooted it quite quickly just after getting it, and I have loaded custom roms, ect. The problem arose when I saw Ubuntu for the Nexus 7! I just HAD to try it out! So I did, and it wasn't so great :/ I went back to Android and a couple days later I realized that somehow my Nexus 7 thinks it's 6 gigs instead of 16. I was wondering if it was something that went wrong with the partitions when I installed Ubuntu on it, and if there was any way I could possibly fix it.
Thanks for all the help

I believe I have. A little unsure though. I downloaded the stock 4.2 and flashed that onto it. Was that right or do I have to find the stock image that came with it out of the box (so 4.1.2 or close)?
Factory reset will fix the issue without installing the ROM I believe.

EDIT I just did a factory reset and no dice. It still believes it is 6 gigs.

What i believe has happened is that your partition module has become corrupted.
So, you tried flashing stock, and tried factory reset?
Does it show up on your computer as 6 GB when you connect it?
I had the same thing happen. I just used wugs toolkit to flash back to stock, then rerooted from there. That is the easiest way I know of to fix. Becides download times it only takes like 15 minutes to flash to stock, then unlock and root and you are back on your way.
2 days ago i flashed android 4.3 on my nexus 7, after using it for a while i noticed that the total space is 6.02 gb on my 32gb model.
i looked for this problem online and found someone who the same thing happened to him while flashing 4.2.2.
the answer was to wipe everything, data and internal storage. so i did it and the same problem repeated , i flashed android 4.2.2 back but the same thing happened. how can i solve it?
Follow the instructions in this thread, post #10. It will fix you right up. It is the proper commands to flash through fastboot that will get the memory right.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1776860
Of course, change the bootloader and system image versions to correspond to the 4.3 values. Eg 4.23.

Actually, it wont. It is an issue that can happen when fastboot incorrectly formats the system and gives it the wrong size, making the remaining unusable. Recovery will read it incorrectly also, and only format the space marked as useable. Re-doing by using the correct fastboot commands is really the only way to get the whole thing back to useable and active.

Are you rooted? If so and you have a custom recovery, I would do the factory reset via the recovery, that way you should still have your apps. If not, then you will lose everything and have to start from scratch.
Could be due to one of two things or a combination of things. One is a hardware issue, which I hope isn't the case. I would check the apps first before resetting, then do the reset. If it continues, try re-flashing the stock image. If after that and you're still having problems, going to 4.4, or 4.3 since it started with 4.4.

If you flash stock, it WILL wipe out everything unfortunately. If you at the least had an unlocked bootloader, you could have flashed the ota.zip and kept everything intact.
