Hi folks,
I have been using G1 for 6-7 months and had never faced this frigging problem ...i think it all started when i tried to flash an HTC sense ROM!! I did all the things as instructed for flashing, but it dint work.. Then i reverted to Gingerbread(version-2.3.4) which i was using before. Though the ROM worked i was sickened to see my internal storage memory as it had only 17.75MB left!!! . My phone has now Total space just 17.75MB out of which the available space is only 6.70MB!! .. Here is a screenshot of my phone storage-
While flashing a swap size of 32 was kept and sd-ext was given 512MB
Any idea how to recover from this frigging problem?????
thanx...
Remove cMTD ...
Flash the following File, reboot into fastboot, do a "fastboot erase system -w" and reinstall your ROM. This should help ...
Thnx for that quick reply.. .. by 'fastboot' did you mean 'recovery mode'.. I flashed the file and then manually wiped all the data's,dalvik-cahce and other things.. is that enough?
@ AndDiSa It worked .. that was frigging awesome man!! thanx a lot.. now i have 92MB free.. can you please explain me what the problem really was?
haha your problem was that you flashed a custom MTD partition (most likely 145 2) on your device for that sense rom.. but when you do that you need to flash fr-boot after you flash any other rom while you still have that partition.. but since you went back to a diff rom you thought you didnt need the fr-boot lol, so your phone didnt have the correct amount of mb..
When you wipe your data and all that it does NOT remove the custom mtd... thats why you needed to flash the FR-Remove file!! to remove the MTD partition... which basically put your device back how it was when first rooted... 90 2 ... thats the stock partition size for a g1
So long story short your device will be fine and you can re try to flash that sense rom or do anything you want... just be sure to remove a custom mtd if you flashed one for a rom... and plan to change roms.. unless you switch to a rom that also needs a mtd partition.. than you dont have to flash remove.. just flash the boot file after flashing rom. lol sorry if that was confusing..

... that was very confusing.
The base you explained correctly: There was still installed the cMTD patch which gave you a custom partition layout with a big /system partition, but a very small /data partition.
This partition layout is defined by boot img parameters, as in recovery, as for the ROM. Most new ROMs (especially GB-ROMs) detect cMTD automatically, i.e. it's sufficent to patch the recovery image while the boot image is patched automatically when installing the ROM.
When you switch between ROMs the partition layout will be kept, as it was for you when you switched back to the "old" GB-ROM. To return to the "standard" layout (which is defined by the SPL you have installed on your phone), you either have to flash a "clean" recovery, or to remove the cMTD layout with the file I gave you.
If you are more interested in cMTD, in my signature you can find a link to the appropriate thread ...

Same problem.
Status 0 means that it successfully flashed the ROM...have you tried booting it up to see what it does?
Flash 4EXT Recovery (a better recovery) and do a 'Format all partitions except SD card'. You will lose all data, SD card will be untouched.
Then install the ROM, I would recommend the latest May 21 2014 nightly ROM of Evervolv for Nexus One.
Hey everyone.. Since I did not know that flashing cm11 on system 2 is not possible.. I tried to flash the ROM by formatting system and everything without even taking a backup.. I am now on cm11 on system 1 and nothing on system 2.. Any workaround to get system 2 up and running lime before
Ps: I also tried flashing wiui ROM on system 1 but the screen only showed some white lines on the screen and then installation aborted

Do you have True Dual Boot enabled? If yes then download full V23 ROM from below link and boot into CM11, copy that rom in your Phone, now boot into CWM and flash this zip in System2 after formatting System2 and performing datawipe on System2 for a fresh start of MIUI.

Hi, I recently installed Full Advance 6.0.1 ROM for my i9000 and whilst trying to flash gapps via the TWRP that came with the rom, I got an error saying that my /system partition was too small to flash gapps. How can I resize the /system partition?
Thanks
