I am sorry if this question has been asked before . I have nexus 7 1st gen 32GB. I updated to ver 5 and now it is showing 5949 GB. Have done factory reset several time, Data, cache wipe but no luck.
The partition shown with PC is same and any ROM or file placed here cannot be flashed. I have restored to factory and re-rooted it but same result.
Thanks in advance.

Hi, Uetian...
I've not experienced this problem myself, but I've read that it does seem to be a relatively common problem...
See this...
[SOLVED] Nexus 7 32GB down to 6GB internal memory
...and this...
Lost A LOT of storage after installing a new ROM
...and specifically this...

Rgrds,
Ged.
Thanks for quick reply but looks like the simple methods don't work and for other commands I guess I need to be developer.

So I was messing around rooting, unlocking the bootloader, and whatnot with my Nexus 4 16 GB, and bricked it somewhere along the way.
I followed this guide to return to stock and everything started working perfectly again.
Except, the storage is now only showing 5.67 GB total which may indicate that it's the 8 GB model. But I'm absolutely certain that I've the 16 GB one as it's showing just fine before I bricked it.
What should I do to get my $50 worth of space back?

I ran into the same issue last week.
adb -w might be enough.
You can try fastboot -w update image-occam-jop40d.zip
Here's my link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2028405 with more linky goodness inside. Thank El Daddy.
this is a known software bug; try flashing the stock rom via Googles script in the rom package instead that might fix it; also make sure you downloaded the rom package direct from google.
just extract the "occam-jop40c-factory-cd3dc140.tgz" into the platform-tools directory of the android SDK then run the flashall.bat script google provided it should fix the problem as it uses the -w update.
im not sure why people bother flashing everything manually takes too long, and if your not expirenced at flashing its more prone to cause issues from user error google gave us scripts for a reason
Sorry for not realizing a thread with the exact same issue already exists.
And thanks! I shall go try that right now.

Just follow what it says in the link El Daddy provided. If you have a lot of data you don't want to lose adb back up and restore is painless, just a little slow.

Alright, followed the steps here. Wiped/erased data, cache, everything, then updated using the image-occam-jop40d.zip that I got from Google devs.
Now it won't boot up past the X. Any suggestions? Help much appreciated.

Reboot into stock recovery. Press volume up and power to open the menu.
Factory reset and wipe cache from there.

Thank you very much. Problem solved, and everything back to normal.
This has truly been the most helpful community.
HI. I've tried to restore my Nexus 4 16GB to Google Factory Images. I've tried 4.2.2 and 4.3 images and my Nexus reports SDCARD partition to be 8 GB, but it should be 16 GB. I dont know what to do next because I've traied everything I've found to restore my Nexus to 16 GB again, e.g. HERE. Please provide me a procedure that will restore my Nexus' SD partition to be 16GB again.
Go to recovery factory reset. I had this once and that's how I fixed it. BTW this was in the stock android recovery

Hi folks,
I have just flashed stock boot.img 4.4.2. and now I see that my internal storage shrunk from 28gb to 6 gb max..
So, where are my 22gb?
Edit: Help.. I just cant get it back.. In the screenshot it says: 6gb available out of 29gb.. with a full wipe and clean install!
Please, help! I have tried wugs toolkit, but flashing stock and going back to all normal doesn't work, because it always fails..

I must admit, I didnt flashed it like always, but everything looked fine because it booted..
I know this has something to do with partitions, but I dont have knowledge about that. I used a wipescript.
Cheers,

I thought I read somewhere, I could be wrong, that after a stock flash you need to do a factory reset within the device to really be a "stock" flash...

Never heard of that step?.. Can somebody confirm this is needed to get the normal internal storage?
I have a 32gb model, and at 'storage' there was always a total of 28+gb . Now I know you loose some gb due to the fact it is needed for android to run. But I cant believe my internal storage really shrunk from 28+ to 6gb.
Is it reversable?
Yea its reversible your nexus thinks its the 8 GB version try factory reset , wipe cache and wipe dalvic cache and if the all fails reflash the ROM basicly you need to get your nexus to reevaluate its storage

Sounds logical.. Thnx will try that!
See op for edit.. Please help, somebody..
OK try this one make sure you wipe everything (not the bootloader) as per the instructions http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1907796
[GUIDE] Flashing a Factory Image with fastboot / return to stock
Programming is a race between engineers striving to build bigger and better idiot-proof programs, and the Universe trying to produce bigger and better idiots. So far, the Universe is winning.
hehe, i appreciate the help!
but I manage to fix it..
I was lucky I had a really old version of Wugs toolkit on my laptop.. Happy I did not remove that one. Because going back to stock worked really good on that version.
Now I installed stock by flashing boot, system, etc one by one and it all worked out well.
finally problem solved
Alright, I got a Nexus 10 32gb. I could not root the device after an OTA update. The device just wouldn't root, so I re flashed the factory image. Now my 32gb Nexus 10 is now seen as a 16gb. I've been using it as is for the last few weeks. Afraid to re flash it and cut my storage in half again .
So anyone have any ideas how to fix this? Will re flashing through fastboot fix this problem?
Thank you,
Hi,
Same happened to me, all I did to fix was a factory reset from settings (you'll lose everything and need to root again).

Yep, that worked. Thank you. got all 32gb back (Well 26.92gb to be exact)
Well I did a clean flash of Android 5.0 the other day, and just noticed my storage appears to have dropped down to a 16gb version. Anyone experience this issue?
me too, messed up. how did you install. I used WegFresh NRT tool. Maybe the format of the partition was wrong

I read that if you still have the lollipop stock recovery (i.e. NOT replaced by for example TWRP), that a factory reset will fix the issue. I upgrade with the factory image including a full wipe of user storage and had all 32GB right from the get go. I wonder what's causing the difference in our experiences?
