Hello!
I rebooted into TWRP recovery to make a backup and flash a new ROM today...
I happened to notice that my Data partition showed 1432346 MB (1398 GB)
I proceeded to swipe to backup anyways but it failed.. saying the data partition was to big.
There is 9 / 64 gigs used on the external SD card and 4.2 used on the internal SD card...definitely not 1398.
Anyone else have this issue ?

Yes, i just had the same issue. My data partition was listed as 32GB which is impossible. I am using the 16GB model and my SD card is 16GB as well.
Because of this, I'm unable to make any backups. This has to be a common error, anyone else??

Thanks for the link but I was getting this error originally with 2.5.0.2
I flashed to 2.6.0.0 which I thought would fix the error, but it still remains

What rom and kernel have you guys flashed. Did the bad position information start after flashing the rom? My inclination would be to odin back to stock to clear the partitions. Then use twrp 2.5.0.2 or cwm.
Edit, as a first step why don't you flash cwm and see if that clears up the partitions.
I had the exact same issue.. Were you by any chance using SlimRom? I did a full wipe, and kept trying different things to try to figure out the issue, and finally found that I had the huge amount of data storage with SlimRom only AFTER flashing their minimal GApps. Tried it with CWM as well as TWRP 2.5 and 2.6. I flashed the rom first, booted up, checked storage space and it showed I had most all my storage available. I rebooted to recovery, flashed their GApps, rebooted, then it showed I had only 800mb of space left and that was before restoring any apps through TiBu. That was with their Beta 2, 3 and 4 version of 4.3. I haven't tried Beta 5 yet. I switched over to BeanStalk rom, and haven't had the issue.
If you were using a different rom, of course it could be another issue.

Here is my info:
ROM: MDOB (Touchwiz)
BASELAND: I337UCUAMDL
KERNAL: 3.4.0-812098
I was using CWM before and never had any issues with it, but the root method I used http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2297900 installed TWRP together with SuperSU as the default. I was assuming if I flashed CWM that I would lose my root. True or false?

False, you can flash cwm over twrp without a problem
Ok I flashed to CWM and backups work fine. Not sure what the deal was, but this would be the solution if you are having this error within TWRP

Rooted with custom recovery but still stock Samsung TW ROM
I used a CM 10.1 nightly at end of august, think this was like the 26th or 28th. Later on reflashed to my stock rooted/custom recovery touchwiz backup. Week or so later I wanted to start using Carbon ROM, went to make a backup and thats when I noticed the partition size.
I tried to flash CWM through ROM Toolbox Pro...went into ROM Management...then slid over to Management, and "Flash Recovery". I tried both regular and touch but when I rebooted it was still TWRP 2.6.0.0. Is there a different way I should be going about this?
Secondly jd1639, I went to the link you provided and have downloaded the 2.5.0.2 TWRP zip...How can I reflash 2.5.0.2 over the current TWRP 2.6.0.0 instead of going to CWM...or will I have to odin back to true stock with no root or recovery and do it over again?
Thanks

Just install it (flash it) in your current recovery. It'll replace your current recovery with 2.5.0.2

For cwm, I'd get rom manager from the play store and have it install the recovery. Only use it to install the recovery. I'd cook up a zip but I don't have the recovery.img for cwm

I have had it, and have tried to flash CWM multiple times but still wont work.
Not sure whats hapening cause it shows TWRP, CWR v 6.0.3.2, CWR Touch v 6.0.3.2 as latest recoveries, but i have never used CWM.
It says successfull install whenever i touch either files name but after reboot it still boots into TWRP and still shows 1398 gigs for the data partition when i go into backup.

not sure what is going on but i have twrp recovery and running the triforce rom at the moment. though every rom has done same thing that i have tried. i swap batteries alot rather then charge the phone so this is a pain since the only fix i have found is reboot to recovery which also sometimes freezes on the twrp logo and do complete wipe. then it will boot up fine. but of course everything is gone.

This has been a problem for me as well. I've used TWRP 2.5.0.2 and the 2.6.x.x versions with the same issue. Typically only happens after flashing an AOSP based ROM then restoring a TW nandroid. For me, one of the partitions gets corrupted, I've had /data and /system both get borked. Formatting in TWRP and CWM does nothing to fix the problem. My only solution so far has been to ODIN crawjs rooted stock MF9 .tar and factory reset in stock recovery. This seems to restore the partition. After that, reboot into download again and flash TWRP 2.5.0.2 .tar. Only then can I successfully restore a previous Nandroid.
It's weird, the first boot always works. Haven't heard a definitive answer to why this happens. I may experiment flashing an AOSP with CWM and see if the same issue persists.

Okay Idk what's going on exactly but I've tried downloading sacs custom 7.2 several times md5s all check out and when I go to flash it in twrp 2.6.3 it fails same with twrp 2.5.2.zip they both keep failing. However I was recently able to flash miuiv5 after a download so the recovery is still working (also it restores backups fine)... So. I'm wondering what's going on here they aren't bad files and it just won't flash! Does this rom have that aroma installer? Am I missing something that allows that?

It could be a product assert. If the TWRP is not made for t0ltespr (Sprint Note II) or ROM isn't made for that the two could be trying to verify the wrong model against each other and failing. You can remove this from the zip by looking for the assert in update-script.
Another option if you're open to it is to try my unofficial CWM and see if that avoids your issue.
Good luck!
rom help
In order for it to work, you need to flash sach's custom rom version 7.0. Let it do a full install and setup, then boot back into recovery. Then flash the 7.1 or 7.2 update. Hope this helps.
---------- Post added at 09:50 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:45 AM ----------
Do Not, I repeat DO NOT do a system wipe in TWRP after installing 7.0 or 7.1. Let the aroma installer do the wipe. I learned the hard way, I wiped it myself and went to update to 7.2 and got nothing but failure notices. Once I re-flashed 7.1 and let the aroma installer do the wipe, it installed with no problem
ive always done a system wipe with no problems. be sure you are downloading the full rom and not the update. and make sure your downloading from a pc over a good wifi conection, then i make sure the file size is about the same size before transferring and flashing. hope this helps

After wiping system,caches,data in Twrp advanced wiped are you getting the fail? if so just reboot recovery and try to install again without wiping. I have had the flash fail for me too and a recovery reboot solved the issue for me. Also in aroma don't factory reset wipe just wipe cache and dalvik. Also I am on TWRP 2.6.3.1

Hi,
I am pretty new to custom roms ect, I have tried installing Battery King v8.2, Vision X II, Carbon Nightly and Google Edition. All of those roms are compatible with i9505, I have also tried using both recoveries CWM 6.0.3.1 and TWRP 2.6.3.1 and on each i wiped data, cache, dalvik, battery stats and system, then after each rom installed successfuly i wiped the dalvik cache again and rebooted to find the stock rom (Prerooted).
Any advice to what i am doing wrong?
I am currently downloading the official stock rom for my phone now to see if that makes a difference.

I had the same, I forgot to flash a custom recovery. Samsung's stock recovery will only flash/install Samsung signed ROMS. Flash a custom recovery like CWM, TWRP or Philz (I'm using philz). Then boot into your recovery and flash your ROMS.
If you have done that, ensure the MD5 of your ROM is correct.

Hi,
Thanks for your reply, i have installed both CWM then TWRP but havent tried Philz (i will try that now) but how do you mean ensure the MD5 of my rom is correct? How would i do this? Because i have downloaded the roms from the i9505 sections therefore i know they are compatible if that is what you mean.

Ok, just checking the basics first, I made that mistake, TWRP didn't flash correctly and I was on stock recovery!
the MD5 is a unique code attributed to the file. It will be given with the download and look something like (as an example only) 1565fs15f1s65f1w8e1wf8f1sw When you download the file you can run a program (have a look, loads free for PC and the phone) that will generate an MD5 sum also, the two should match, if not your download corrupted (this happens me a lot).
Hmmm. What error are you getting, what exactly happens in the recovery when you flash the zip?

Okay, ill have a look for a pc tool that will do that. I am currently installing the stock 4.3 i9505 rom then ill flash the Philz recovery and try installing the custom rom if the md5 matches. Ill reply with the results as soon as im done.

Cool, best of luck with it. I'm not too familiar with doing this on the S4 but got it all working last night. If I'm not full of ideas there's many, many poeple on this forum who know their stuff back to front who will get you sorted!
Any errors you encounter note them down! Make backups!! Then backup your backup on the PC!
FIXED
Just to update, it finally worked. Before i flashed the custom rom i installed the latest official firmware which was 4.3 from sam mobile, then before flash i went onto CWM and did the following:
format cache system and data x 2
wiped cache partition
wiped dalvik cache
rebooted recovery
formated cache system and data
rebooted recovery
installed from sd card
then wiped data/factory reset then rebooted
Awesome! Enjoy your new ROM!
