[Q] USB Storage size small - Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hi
after flashing with odin the usb storage size is small it was 12G now 200M
it is GT-P1000

You also need to tell us what you have been flashing. Take care with Odin, it is not a toy!!!
So:
what are you flashing?
why are you flashing it?
does your tab still boot?
what memory are you talking about?
are you sure 200mb is not the USED value (as opposed to remaining)?
Give us this information, maybe we can help with advice. In the meantime, you can try to restore to factory settings / wipe all and see if it helps recover the space used. That would be a good sign.

Same problem Need help,please

I lost my data on the 16B Memory Card. Can I get it back? How?

Hi,
I made a mistake and I tried the beta version of the ICS which made the counter counts "1". To get things even worse, the mobile stopped reading the memory card and I had to format it and I lost all my file in that memory card. How can I get them back and rest the counter?
I tried the "How to remove yellow triangle on any firmware with JIG" but it didn't work.
Help
First of all, Dont put any files on memory card if you want to recover data. As if it overwrites older data, you won't be able to recover old files.
Connect your device with USB debugging mode, then select connect device from notification
Now you will get separate drive letter for memory card.
There are lot SW available to restore data, i know one is 'Get data back', google it n try recovering from memory card drive.

Do i understand right you want to recover deleted/formatted data?
try:

If you formatted it already then it's possible that you'll never be able to recover the files. If you have access to Linux -- e.g. via a liveCD or something -- you can try a command-line utility called 'magicrescue', but even then it's not guaranteed it'll be able to rescue the whole file.

Even formatted, data can be recovered and as long no new data overwrite the old data too many times.

I tried it and restored some of the files but the most important file (My Backup Pro) was damaged.
Thanks anyway.

simple format just making unable to read, so still it remains recoverable. If data where it is located on sector, overwrite with other data, thn only it becomes non recoberable.
Low level format only erases data completely, but i think nobody routinely using it.

I did link to magicrescue, didn't I? And no, even a simple format that resets the allocation table can still result in files not being possible to recover, it all depends on whether the file was fragmented or not; if the file was written to non-consecutive blocks on the card then there is simply no way for a program to know where all the blocks are located without the allocation table.
The tools that try to rescue files from broken/formatted filesystems rely on the fact that they can find the file header and that the header format is known to the rescue utility. As such those tools cannot rescue filetypes that they aren't familiar with or for which the user has not supplied the proper settings.

Not only then, read above.

Low-level format is when you have access to the actual barebones hardware and can read/write e.g. the internal CRC-structures there. What you are referring to is not low-level format, it's just plain old regular format.

[Q] Resize /system partition, how?

I'm on latest CM9 with Semaphore 1.2.4, but this latest update used up a lot of space in /system partition which only left me 2MB spaces. I need extra spaces for system app and new bootanimation, how?
You cant change the system partition size however to get the space in it try moving your app to sdcard.

How sure are you on that? From what I understand PIT files in ODIN can change partition layout. If one can change partition layout, one should be able to increase /system as well.
That said, I find Android very confusing. Some examples:
Onboard flash is not a SD card. A SD card is something you can just pull out of the device. Yet android refers to the onboard flash - or well, more accurately a specific partition on the onboard flash - as SD card.
CWM backup is supposed to do a *FULL* backup. Yet it does not include my pictures. No matter what format/wipe options I choose in CWM, the pictures don't go away... I have a whole different concept off a full wipe / factory reset / format SD than that.
It seems several tools format the wrong thing.
App data directories seem to move all over the place. I usually make nandroid backups and I have issues restoring my app *data* every time I use another ROM.
All that said, I'm a big time linux user. I'm extremely familiar with system maintenance on computers. However Android is new to me. All the confusing on naming etc. however is a HUGE !#@%!!#% obstacle.
But why explain things clearly or use terms what they're for. Much easier to confuse people right? At least someone can make money of it then.

Sorry to bump such old thread.
I was offered a I9000 that I would like to use as second phone.
I flashed I9000XXJVU_I9000OXAJVU_OXA through odin, and then root (cf-root) and MackayRom 1.7 .
As it says in the rom thread, I have a space problem. Is there any chance better than this one?
Any possibility of repartitioning the internal storage?
Here is my partition scheme:

[Q] Internal storage - Worst filesystem problem ever.

Hello everyone,
I am quite desperate with the P1000. I am not a noob and I have tried everything I know.
After reboot, when I copy a file/folder to the internal storage, it will disappear. When I delete a file/folder it will reappear after.
This happens using the USB connection, I tried formatting it, i tried to securely wipe it, factory reset, flash other roms, re-partition on odin with pit files, connecting with adb and root wipe files... manually format the partitions on recovery.
I cannot start any application once the system has booted. Permanent FC's so no... I cannot use root explorer or any other apps.
Nothing of the above helped.
This problem occurred after updating the device to the latest firmware using KIES. There was no such problem before.
Please, If someone could help here.
Thanks in advance,

When the internal memory turning bad, that is the symptom.
You can read many cases here.
They wipes, old data still there.
They install new stuff, it is missing
As if it is read only.
You may have to remove the chip and use external only.
There are two threads dealing with it.

[Q] gt-i9000: full flash memory dump

hello all,
I would like to perform a full internal flash dump of my gt-i9000 phone, using my riffbox.
When I perform the dcc download of the preset memory, with autofullflash detect, I gain only a 512MB file.
My question is how do I download the other 15,5GB content, which should be the mmblck0 and mmblck1 devices?
Anybody knows the flash memory map of the gt-i9000 phone, to be manually inserted in the riffbox dcc download page?
Or please tell me if I am completely wrong and, why not, suggest a different way.
thanks.

NB: is it possible that memory chip is corrupted?

[Q] Internal Storage Missing 4GB

I am missing roughly 3 to 4GB of space on my internal storage. Long story short -- flashed cm11.0_golden.nova.20141127.ODIN_TWRP the first couple of tries it failed mainly due to me not knowing how to enter into recovery mode. After about 4 or 5 tries I figured it out and all was well. Then I notice a large chunk of my internal storage is missing. I enter recovery mode and format all internal storage. I gain a few hundred MB. I cannot see those missing GB of space at all. My best guess is that those first few unsuccessful attempts at flashing the rom are still there in the internal storage taking the space I am missing. Is there any way to repartition the internal storage? I have used all of the methods available to me with TWRP and have had no success in gaining that storage back. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Guessing you have S3 mini soo i have same "issue" it's actually the phone itself takes around 3-4 GB i have usable 4.64 gb and i have 8GB model.
So is this just the normal amount of space taken up by the system? And yes mine is an 8GB model also.
Yes guys it's normal if you have 4GB.
4GB for system and 4GB for user
When i look at how much storage total it lists 4.72GB. For available space it shows 4.27GB. Will the 4GB taken up by the system not be shown? I just figured that it would list close to 8GB total with X amount taken by system. Im pretty sure this is how it was before I flashed the phone.

Could it be the missing 4GB is the partition of the system? I am using stock ROM also can only access about 4GB for saving files and apps. Maybe the CM11 itself using 4GB for OS process and pre-installed/bloatware apps? Just my guest.
You can try to reach the missing space using 3rd party apps such as XDA File Manager. BUT, I wont dare to do anything to the 'hidden files', as I know it could damage your system. That's why they made it invisible to normal/average user (like me). Unless you know what and which files to be played with.

Im not sure about CM11, but with Slimrom is about 1.23GB. You can see this using Titanium Backup in the overview.
