i9305 says internal storage full when i just flashed a new rom
Hi guys, I'm genuinely lost on how to fix this issue.
Essentially, my i9305, rooted- running pacman rom (stable) android 4.4.4, says that it's internal storage is full. however, I've just flashed the rom onto it. I have cleared the cache, dalvik cache and wiped the phone (through rom manager, cwm) and re-flashed the rom and it persists to say this. When i went though each folder and added the bytes up, i should've had around 9gb available, yet is says i only have 656mb.
I believe the issue lies in the "/data" partition, is it possible to wipe it?
Please help!!!

Are you make backup with TWRP (or cwm..or other recovery)?
Download Clean Master and find big files who kill your memory (after clean, uninstall app)

I installed rom the wipe version of it
but all my old data are still there
apps are gone but there data folders still there
is it supposed to delete them or no cuz this is my first rom to install also
tried to factory reset but nothing happened
the folders in your internal sd card wich contain previously installed apps data will always stay
but the apps them self are not installed
so yes it did do a wipe
I flashed my i9000m from Stock ROM to a i9000 ROM, then to ICS (CM9). Everything works perfectly. No complaints. The only thing that bugs me is I still have 1GB left of space, when I have no access to the older apps that I had previously. Could they all be backed up somewhere?
I made sure to Data Wipe and Cache Wipe before installing ICS, before and after. Any ideas what I can do?
Thanks

data wipe means completely delete everything, i also flashed ICS yesterday but didn't data wipe, everything is on my sd card, check with a file manager

Yup. I data wiped, but I guess that didn't work properly.
Any other way to remove excess apps? I don't know which is which using file manager.
By "Data Wipe" it means deleting files from /data, /system, /datadata, /cache and dalvik cache. Not Internal_SD and External_SD, as it not picks which file is used or which not.
If you want to clear EVERYTHING (all data on phone - to make as "just bought") you need to tick Repartition in Odin. That removes every piece of info on your phone.
simply do factory reset/format before doing any firmware update and after update, after update u can delete all sd-card files or do format it by going into setting sd options.
I have flashed a bunch of different ROMs lately. I always wipe cache, dalvik and do a factory reset but maybe it may no longer be enough. Currently, my phone is rooted with Cocore and CWM. I am thinking about going to CM11. Last time I tried that, I noticed some stuff during setup was overlooked because it already seemed to be there. So I think some bits and pieces are left in the phone. Therefore, I want to "scrub" it before trying another ROM (thinking CM11 this time). I know the CM kernel comes with it.
questions:
1) Can I just mount and reformat system, data, cache and preload to clear everything out before flashing a new ROM?
2) Will the kernel be protected (in this case is CoCore) after reformating or should I worry about it?
3) When I flash the original stock 4.1.2 from Odin, does it completely reformat everything when it loads onto the system?

Some information are stored on internal SD memory. Maybe it was there. Try to delete it. Backup SD to PC, format it - do factory reset and see if it is happening again.

If I backup the internal SD card to the PC and then restore after a reformat, won't the offending bits come back again?

I did not tell you to restore it. Keep it on PC, in case you need some of data from there. Maybe you erase some picture that you need or something like that. And not to blame me later. :fingers-crossed:
Hi,
I have Samsung Galaxy S3 I9305 phone. It had a logo stuck issue. Then I rooted the phone and flash CWM recovery using ODIN3.
Then I made the CWM backup to the SD card. Then I wipe the dalvik cache and wipe data/factory reset. Since still phone is not booted I misunderstood the steps and mistakenly did the CWM format /system and format /data. then I did nothing. Now the phone is not booting. It only goes to model no display screen. I read that even when formatting data, It only deletes the table of contents(pointers) and not the actual data. Now please tell me that, were all photos in internal memory lost? Can I recover photos in internal memory using recovery utility?.
Wiping system means NO OS. Just flash a new ROM and you'll be fine. Also this dosen't need to be a Q&A Thread, it's better if it is just a Normal Thread.
Thanks for the quick reply. Actually my question was even though I formatted the system and data, Can I restore data in the internal memory?. I need only internal memory photos. I have read that I even formatted the data, table of contents is deleted and data is still available.
If its still there, flash the exact same ROM you flashed before the accident then if its still not there then use DiskDigger from GPlay. If DiskDigger can't find it then it can't be recovered ever again
Quick question Jeri. I have backup the ROM using CWM recovery AFTER the accident to external SD card. Back up has the following files:
boot.img
recovery.img
system.ext4.tar
system.ext4.tar.a
system.ext4.tar.b
It was the stock ROM(I mean original OS, which phone had when I bought the phone).
So please tell me that what to do next? sorry about my lack of knowledge of this area.
is any body there to help me on this matter? only experts can ask questions on this site?
I flashed the ROM using ODIN. I used the I9305XXUFNL1_I9305H3GFNL1_I9305XXUFOA1_HOME.tar.md5 file for flashing. But I'm not sure it is correct. But still my phone is not booting, and stopping at logo screen. What do I do next?
Hi,
from MIUI 8.2.0 global stable I have sucessfully installed CM 13.
Before the installation progress and after flashed TWRP3020 on the first window from TWRP, I have choosed to maintain a specific place "read only". I was insure, so I decided to do so.
Then I wiped the system with TWRP. I choose Dalvik, System, Data and Cache. Just in internal storage I didnt mark to wipe.
I have installed CM13 and Gapps. Everything goes fine. But the Theme-Designer (where to choose themes) allways fail to start. In another Mi5 pro (2 pieces here) I have made all the same like in this one, and the Theme-Designer starts normal.
So I find, that in my storage, there are many old files from MIUI. They are not deleted and I understand why. Because I didnt mark in TWRP to wipe the internal storage.
So I gone to the settings in CM to reset to factory settings and made it. After starting the phone I saw, that all the folders are still there.
Now I am affraid, that something in the storage makes the Theme-Designer crash. I dont have another explication.
And after the installation I made today a update OTA to the newest version of CM (08.09.16) and the problem continues.
Is there a possibility to make a real clean install, wiping all the storage without to buy a USB-Stick to put there the install files for CM13 and Gapps? Or not?
Or ist there another way, to wipe the data storage? If I would make this with TWRP, I think that CM wouldnt start, because the folder "Download" would also be deleted. Or is there another folder, that is protected, to put the files there?
And I also had problems with bluetooth with MIUI with my Volvo. And with CM13 the problem continues. Maybe it has to do with some old files from MIUI, that are still in the system.
Can someone help?
No idea? Or a good link?
After I have installed CM 13 and Gapps, what happens if I go in TWRP and choose to wipe internal storage? Do I have after that a clean install without traces of the old OS or is all gone and I cant boot?
You can go back to TWRP and wipe internal storage, you'll still be able to boot into the ROM.
