Reduced internal storage to about 450 mb after installing twrp.

I installed twrp using adb in my lenovo k4 note (A7010a48) after which the internal memory of my device reduced to 450 mb from 16 GB and I installed official resurrection remix in it. Though the storage option from settings shows 16 GB memory out of which 14 GB is used by system while in twrp it shows only 450 mb. Now due to this I would like to reinstall my stock ROM and stock recovery and get my storage and volte back. Please tell me if there are any ways. Also when I try to open my recovery there is a black screen only. Thanks in advance.

Actually that happened for me too.. I found that it happens when I unlock the bootloader, boot to recovery , deleting "boot_from_recovery.p" and WITHOUT flashing super su nor booting to system, directly flashing any other twrp recovery or wiping the Dalvik cache, system, data, the recovery finds our sdcard (internal storage) partition as 774 MB or in your case 450 MB. So to get rid of these things, flash s232 firmware again unlock bootloader, boot to recovery, delete the file "boot from recovery.p", flash SuperSU, clear Dalvik cache and cache, let the phone boot to system ( normal startup) and then reboot to recovery and voila! You will find internal storage as usual .:good:

perform factory reset in twrp recovery, to fix that issue

Is there any way I can skip flashing the firmware and do this with the custom rom installed? Also, where is the "boot_from_recovery.p" file located? xda says /system but I can't find it there.

Try factory resetting from twrp as mohan mentioned above.. if it did not worked, probably that's the only way.

Figured out how to get rid of this issue: After installing stock rom, unlocking bootloader and flashing TWRP through ADB: you have to reboot into system (stock ROM), go through the setup and only then are you able to go back into TWRP to wipe and flash the custom ROM of your choice (in this case RR, without having full internal storage).

regarding internal storage issue
Is your solution will fix my internal storage problem

Fixed it for me so yes

While flashing RR, I also ended up in the same position. Here's how I fixed it:
1) Post flashing RR, goto bootloader and flash recovery-mohan-n.img
2) reboot to recovery
3) click on wipe and then select format data (option next to advance wipe).
4) Once format is complete, go back to main screen and Reboot to system.
Hence the problem shall be resolved.

PLS HELP!!!

can I create a new partition maybe the current one is broken or why is nothing stored there.?
ps: Internal Storage can´t be Repair or change File System in Wipe/Advanced Wipe option repair or change file system

First things first, try booting regardless, every time I flash the stock Oreo rom V20A, it says no os installed
(I recommend having an SD card to put the rom on) go to wipe and format your data, once having done that wipe everything Dalvik, Data, System, Cache. But not the SD card. Then after that, go to flash, select your SD card then flash the rom.

Boot to recovery (I reccomend orangefox) wipe cache, dalvik, data, system > flash rom > flash gapps (optional) > flash magisk (optional) if after reboot it ask for password you have to format data (i've noticed that if you flash magisk before booting the system the password isn't required). If you come from miui maybe you need to flash vbmeta before rom (i'm not sure but it doesn't hurt)

Do you want to flash a custom rom or you want to return to official miui from a custom rom?

When you wipe system you delete the previous os (rom) installed then you flash the new os (rom). Wich rom do you want to install?

If you don't have SD Card then don't wipe Internal Storage. But Clean Flash always recommend.

Ok so if you want to reinstall your app and data after flashing the rom you can backup with titanium backup or migrate. Reboot to recovery and wipe cache, dalvik, system and data after this flash the rom (you can flash it from internal storage) after the rom without rebooting to the system flash gapps (optional) and magisk (I reccomend to flash magisk so you can restore the backup and it avoid to have the problem with password request). Reboot to system

Last question
i dont have sd card and in the past when i wipe system , data ..... and try to flash the zip custom rom ( in Download folder OF my phone ) i can't find it ... with no OS installed i can't open my phone to transfer files... so the only solution flashing stock rom.
Where should i put the Files ( Custom rom, Gapps, Magisk..) to avoid this case.
Thank you

Maybe you have wiped also internal storage or format data? If you wipe just cache, dalvik, data and system you must found the files in the download folder.

Thank you bro

Flashing EU rom on DAVICIIN

HI
i have DAVINCIIN device (indian k20) and im on stock rom MIUI GLOBAL 11.0.2 STABLE (QFJINXM) , First i removed all locks from phone. i downloaded eu rom "HMK20MI9T_20.3.12_v11-10"
to flash rom i wiped my system and data in Orange fox recovery then tried to flash this EU rom but got error 7 due to device not being "DAVINCI" so i changed product id in updater script .(Replaced davinci to davinciin) in whole script. After that flashing was successful but then when i rebooted phone got bootlooped and rebooted to recovery later..Now my storage got encrypted somehow so was not able to flash any zip from recovery so i wiped my internal storage too. then i downloaded evolutionX rom and that too was not working . same things i tried on TWRP recovery but it did not worked.
So atlast i flashed GLOBAL 11.0.2 STABLE (QFJINXM) and phone worked.
So can any one point out what i did wrong. ?
I also tried to install evolutionx again on GLOBAL 11.0.2 STABLE (QFJINXM) by wiping data and system. but that too did not work so back to stock rom again.
Pl help.

To flash . EU ROM you just need to format data. No wipes, only format data, reboot back to recovery and move ROM to internal storage/microSD and flash it. After flashing, just wipe cache/dalvik.

I used xiaomiTool v2 to flash from global to eu, after it flashed I cleared cache and formatted and booted right to the new eu rom.

Help!! Fastboot Bootloop RN7 - Pixel Experience Flash

Hello friends how are you? I will try to be very brief and excuse me for my English
I recently bought a second-hand redmi note 7, and it came with the ROM Pixel Experience 2019 (Android 10) ... The fact is that I wanted to install the updated ROM Pixel Experience (Android 11 2021) and did the procedure to install the Recovery Fox Orange (The phone came with the recovery from Xiaomi).
In doing so, I performed the WIPE (Dalvik, Cache, Data, System) and proceeded to install the ROM from internal memory.
The ROM was installed correctly but when restarting it enters a Bootloop in the FastBoot and I have not been able to start ...
It is in Fastboot bootloop ... Please I need help, what can I do to start the Pixel Experience or what are the steps to follow? I heartily appreciate your help

Format data. you will need to type "YES" when doing it!!
so, format data, wipe evertyhing again, reboot to recovery, then install your rom and then have fun. hope it helps.

- I did Format Data
- Then I Wipe from: Dalvik / ART Cache, Cache, System, Data
- Then copy the ROM Pixel Experience Plus Lavender 11 (PC to Phone USB)
- I gave Install and then restart
But still in Fastboot Boot .. D:
