I have a 128gb model that I just flashed the stock room onto, then rooted with Magisk. After this I checked it and confirmed it said 128gb storage on my files app, then I went to my settings to restore from Samsung cloud, and I did use a backup from my phone rather than my tablet, but my phone is a 128gb galaxy s21 ultra, so it wouldn't be picking up the 32gb from that (even though it shouldn't anyway, just throwing that out there) but I pick it up and it's stuck restoring cut of low storage space. Check files app again and it now says total internal storage is 32gb?
I read somewhere that if u flash just AP without the BL, CSC etc it can shrink storage size, but I flashed AP (patched by magisk) BL, and CSC. There was no CP with the firmware. After that though i did flash the TWRP AP separately using the official TWRP app. Would that cause it to read only 32gb?

Ive been flashing for a while now. Just recent my phone got stuck on the "Galaxy S4" screen amd I had to restart like 15 times and reflash a few times before it booted into the rom. Now I see that I only have 3.5GB of internal space left. Even off od a fresh flash with a complete format. I even fomatted all data in TWRP amd all that. How do I get my space back?
Do I use odin and check off the repartition tab?

Do not mess with odin and check repartition. This will do nothing but brick your phone. If any thing, use your custom recovery and format storage, but be prepared to lose everything. First find out what's taking up all the space.

I've heard of problems after formatting /data in twrp on this device. You may consider flashing back to stock and starting over
Keep in mind that the total internal storage available includes your /data partition as well as your internal SDCard (/data/media/). TWRP will not format your internal SDCard unless you explicitly tell it to. Check out the stuff on your SDCard and see if it's eating up space (like a nandroid backup for example that can take up over 2.5gb of space!)
If still unresolved, I would do these steps:
- Backup your internal SDCard to your computer, and otherwise backup everything (nandroid, data backup, what-have-you) to your computer
- Do a simple wipe-data with TWRP
- Use Odin to return to MDL stock (or Canadian equivalent)
- Use stock recovery to wipe your data (this should also wipe SDCard)
- Root with motochopper, install custom recovery, install rom, etc.
To avoid accidentally downloading any OTA updates, I would recommend simply removing your SIM card during all this

Hello,
since one week my device, a samsung galaxy s4 i9505, is software bricked and stuck on bootlogo and I've been tryin to save my internal storage, but I'm close to giving up. I hope someone here can help me.
My situation:
1. Updated my TWRP to version 3.0.1-0-jfltexx with odin 3.10.0
2. Flashed new ROM "OMEGA ROM", that worked good.
3. Backup with TWRP, successfull, reboot, galaxy logo appears, flash, again -> bootloop
4. Flashed firmware "i9505XXUHOB8" BL and modem, with odin 3.10.0 in BL and CP
5. No bootloop anymore, but stuck on ROM Logo with normal start and with recovery start blue text "recovery booting..." on galaxy screen but nothing happens.
6. Saw that TWRP 2.8.7.0-i9500 is the recommended TWRP for the i9505, flashed the .img.tar with odin 3.09 in AP (is the .img a problem?) but still same problem, with TWRP 2.8.6.0-i9500.tar too.
6. Tried different firmwares: i9505XXUHOB7, i9505XXUHOF2, i9505XXUHOJ4 -> I thought the problem is the bootloader -> odin error: complete (write) operation failed or NAND write error (->problem was usb port)
7. Tried different odin versions: 1.85, 3.10.6, 3.09
8. Tried different usb cables
9. Flashed cf-auto-root to mount the data partition, but theres no option. Recovery mode is now working, but the samsung recovery, not TWRP.
10. Tried to copy internal storage with ADB, can navigate the directory but can't pull or cd /storage/sdcard0 -> no such file or directory, same with /mnt/sdcard (ADB only works during the ROM logo)
11. Flashed stock samsung firmware "i9505XXUHOJ2_i9505AUTHXXUHOJ1_i9505XXUHOJ2" with odin 3.09 -> now stuck on samsung boot logo. My ROM is now deleted, right?
12. Wipe cache don't help
13. Could wipe data/factory reset or repartition with odin but then I will lost my internal storage.....
I have a backup from the successfull backup with TWRP, but can't open the data.ext4.win001 after rename it (the .win000 is ok)....
Can anyone help me or have an idea how can I save my data and repair the system?

use TWRP to copy files from internal storage over to external SDcard for stuff you wanna keep.
if you manage to backup the data partition you're supposed to be able to extract apps and data from a nandroid with titanium backup pro (never tried it though).
this data you wanna save, if it wasn't created while running omega rom then it wasn't likely to work with it anyway. that could be the source of your bootloops. if that data came from a previous custom rom then try to go back to it, and if successful backup apps with titanium and files to SDcard. you can't keep your data partition and go into a new rom with it.
if the data came from a stock rom you'll loose it trying to go back so extracting from a nandroid is probably your best bet there or restoring once back to stock.

TWRP is not working anymore -> blue text "Recovery booting..." on galaxy logo
In many forums they mean TWRP backup not includes the internal storage (/sdcard partition)?!
Can extract my "data.ext4.win000" and "data.ext4.win001" but not find the /sdcard location or my userdata.

try TWRP 3.0.0 by JDCteam, hundreds of happy users there. if it works first time make sure to try backing up your data partition and then wiping it. you can copy your media storage with the built-in file browser as mentioned.
you've got bigger problems if it's not data causing your problems...
I have Samsung Galaxy s7 edge(SM-G935FD) Indian edition.
My twrp can't read internal storage when i click select storage it shows 0mb. I can still access my otg partition. I cannot also format any partition as it shows cannot mount /data.
I have tried following things without success-:
1)I have tried multiple versions of twrp.
2)Flashed no-verity-opt-encrypt zip using otg
3)Flashed complete stock firmware multiple times & re-flashed twrp.
Note-: i have flashed nogut beta but before installing twrp i reverted to stock by flashing all 4 files of firmware including bp.
Added a picture of twrp log(can't save screenshot as internal storage isn't mounting)
You have to do wipe/format data/yes. Then reboot back into twrp. After that you flash no drmverity/supersu.
So there is a question - is there any partitions that cant be seen even by root or Recovery (example TWRP). I know that 16gb model has only 10.6 gb available to user. And with root i could see what partitions and how much of those 5.4 gb is used. But when i did full wipe with twrp, and not a single folder was left (TWRP showed totally empty device), i connected my g2 to computer. Window opened as usual and i saw the same 10.6 gb available, only every single bit of it now was free But where is rest 5.6 gb after all?
The other 5.4 gb of space is used for all the system partitions... system, modem, sbl (bootloader), kernel, recovery... and so.
After the repair of my S7 i am on G930FXXS2ERH6_DBT, there is no way to activate adoptable storage.
But for me it worked as followed:
Starting Point:
S7 on G930FXXS2ERH6_DBT
128GB Empty SD-Card, FAT32 inserted
No SIM Card
1. Backup all your needed data!!! And read the full thread, if you don't understand what to do, let it be!!!
2. Goto Download Mode
3. Flash G930FXXU2DRB6_DBT with Odin3 v3.13.1_3B_PatcheD (Use CSC not HOME CSC)
4. Activate it by bypassing everything (WiFi, Samsung Account...)
5. Go back to Download Mode
6. Flash G930FXXS1BPJ1_DBT1 not all only:
boot.img, Cache.img, modem.bin, recovery.img, System.img
I use Z3X-Tools to do this, but you can also extract these files from the .tar's an build a new .tar and
Flash it with Odin3 v3.13.1_3B_PatcheD as AP-File
7. Activate it by bypassing everything (WiFi, Samsung Account...)
8. Enable Developer Options and USB-Debugging
9. Use adb and Partition SD-Card with: sm partition disk:179,0 mixed 25
10. Migrate Data on the new 96GB internal storage SD-Card
11. Go back to Download Mode
12. Flash G930FXXU2DRB6_DBT with Odin3 v3.13.1_3B_PatcheD (Use HOME CSC not CSC)
13. Activate WiFi
14. Run all the OTA Updates
15. If done, you are back on G930FXXS2ERH6_DBT with active adoptable storage
16. Restore your backuped data
17. Knox is 0x0 as by the beginning
18. Done
Have a nice Day.
ODIN is on xda
G930FXXU2DRB6 is on usp borum Downloads
G930FXXS1BPJ1 DBT is on androidtilehost
Use Google to find it.

my S7 had an encryption issue after performing point 6.. It asked for an encryption password. I booted Volume Up + Bixby + Power, wiped data, wiped cache, mounted system (not sure, which part led to success, did all three of them in a row), then everything worked fine.
luckily I did all this with a brand new s7 before putting any personal data on it, so loosing all data was no issue for me. I'm sure that you would loose all your data if you do the thing I did, so be careful!
Is there any other method to enable it on the stock Oren 8.0?
In this tutorial it seems we are flashing Android 6 or 7, create the adoptable storage, then flash Android 8 and update to latest Oreo version. I already have Oreo and I am trying to avoid the trouble of doing a factory reset and spend hours putting everything back. In Oreo the adb shell sm commands to enable adoptable storage don't do anything.
Edit: Z3X-Tools is some sort of hardware box?
Edit 2: After preparing everything and making peace with myself about the factory reset, it still did not work. It appears that once the phone has Oreo with bootloader v4, it cannot be flashed with G930FXXU2DRB6_DBT. I got these errors:
