Hello Dear friends,
This is Alvina Snow, a nooby nooby noob girl, who once liked to play with phones and would make fun of her buddies, carrying the stereo-typed GB versions on thier Note. I am no more interested in flashing Roms and not because i blame developers. They have always been great in thier job and i owe them for their coolest roms, but i blame myself and my hastiness in everything. Cutting the crap, let me come to the point.....
Last night, tired of the mediocre looks of Official ICS, i downloaded Paranoid Android 0.4a along with goodies and following the instructions, I opened Odin to downgrade to GB so i can install PA 0.4a safely. To my surprise, once the GB Rom installed successfully, it got stuck at bootloader, i rebooted it a few times, then i went to recovery and reset factory/ format, wiped cache and rebooted. Note stuck this time on the first screen. :fingers-crossed:
Presuming that Odin install may have been faulty, i redid the Odin method and this time, the install stuck at "factoryfs.rfs". From then on, i tried for hours to make it happen, swapped roms, used kernels, wiped everything... and ultimately i got a nice super brick on my hands. the notorious mobile-cum-triangle-cum-PC sign, asking me to use recovery through kies.
researched XDA all night and finally landed on Dr. Forest's "Easy guide for repartition workaround to fix super-brick Note"
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=26285877&postcount=12
Did everything as directed. I used "standard 16 GB pit" and stable GB rom to resurrect my Note and we both came to life to my surprise, only to discover that now i have an 8.24 GB emmc space available, instead of previously held 11.4 GB something. :victory:
I have been praying for Dr. Forest and all esteemed developers and i will always be thankful to them. My questions to my learned seniors is that:-
- Is there any method, adopting which the missing 3 GB should be regained?
- Will I ever be able to regain the missing 3GB space?
- Having this notion in mind that now i have caged 3 GB of voracious malfunctioning space in my emmc, should i expect any further stability issues after revival of Note or it should work just fine.
Once again hats off to Dr. Forest and all other developers for thier compassionate assistance for us noobs. My thanks in advance for help. :angel:

Thanks for the kind words which is a lovely reward to the people who contribute time and knowledge to the guides to help revive brick G-Note, including me :victory:!
I will try to answer some of the questions:
1- So far there has not been a known method to fix the faulty areas in the partition caused by the buggy ICS kernel yet. There seem to be some encouraging news from some senior developers who are in contact with Samsung developers and it is hope that there may be a Jtag method release. If the method is available then your device can also benefit from it since the re-partition is fully reversible. Let's just hope they can make it.
2- Will the phone be stable or not: for most people it seems to work well and stable. For some people who have a large damaged areas of space in former sdcard region due to the bug, there seem to be some problem of unstable system. In those cases it is likely that there are still some faulty blocks somewhere in cache or data partitions that has not been eliminated yet.
3- If you are comfortable with using adb method you can try again to explore the lost areas and in some cases can regain 1 or 2 GB of space. There is a free app call "eMMC Brickbug Check" from Gplay which can help to scan the whole chip and report the beginning of faulty blocks. Then you can use parted to make partitions in different areas within the lost range (from 281mb to 3322mb) while try to avoid the faulty blocks.
Hope it helps in some ways. cheers.
Thanx a Ton
Ex expected you came to my rescue and encouragement Sir Forest. . Thanx a million for taking time to answer my queries. I hope that Samsung will soon come up with some remedy. As advised by you, i will also try to use the regain method. Though am not sure
Thank you

Forest Sir, as you advised i used eMMC Brickbug Check", which says that:
Phone Model: Samsung GT-N7000
eMMC Chip
type: VYLOOM
Date: 03/2012
CID:15010056594c30304d19b9c9013c3fdd
FwRev: 0x19
Brick Bug? : YES. Insane Chip
Now when i check memory.. it started checking and showing something similar to seconds counting and the phone restarted after reaching 671 seconds..
Now pardon my noobness, but i am not clear if how am i gonna get help in determing defected areas out of this.
Help please. God Bless You

No, not yet all. In this case it does not allow to see where the faulty block is.
If you are confident and like to play again with adb then can explore using parted to create new partitions again in different ranges, with part 9 starting from 1174mb, and then move up by 300mb each time until parted is happy with the new area for part 9. with that approach you will probably save more space.
Otherwise, a external sdcard can also compensate more than all the loss of space in the internal sdcard . cheers.
Thank You Sir Forest for ur guidance. I think its time to get me a 32 GB micro sd
Amen !! I only use my internal SD to hold my Mods and ROMs, all the precious stuff is on the external, Just incase.
Plus i have dropbox and google drive to keep my stuff regularly backed up

If you get that 32GB micro-SD, you can use it as your phone's internal SD card with an easy vold.fstab swap. Your reduced capacity internal storage would then become your "external" SD card.

My Options.
Considering my options, I got few questions in my mind...
a. My Note is International version and purchased from KSA, whereas I am in Pakistan now. So can I claim my warranty here with Samsung Service Centres?
b. If yes, I obviously need to reset my binary counter, which is 4 or 5 at the moment. I also need to restore my Note to stock rom and stock kernel. Is there any safe way except Angelo's kernel and USB Jig to reset binary counter? i was looking for "Triangle Away" in the market, but i somehow couldn't find it.
Help my seniors please. If with your help I can go to Samsung and my warranty is validated, all credits with be to you guys for saving me from big troubles. To be honest I had been a poor kinda girl and managed barely to pull off my Note. I can't afford to manage a board replace night now
Hi: I do not have answers to all questions, but for triangleaway.

Thank You Sir, Forest. Hope this would work
Of you've repartitioned the note that will void your warranty I imagine.
What you really need is an untouched superbrick as Samsung won't be able to tell if it has any hits on the binary counter or if its ever been rooted or custom firmwares flashed...
So brick it again if you are able to claim warranty in Pakistan.

So, bricking its again seems a potentially dangerous job :fingers-crossed: besides what do you suggest, i should tell Samsung guys, how it happened. Coz i believe they are gonna ask me if how come the phone went dead and i have also learnt that they have ways to check binary count, even if the phone is Superbricked. I am in a fix, coz after investing 500$ on a Note, living without a 3GB phone space is pain in the a*s.
Help please

The brick has been acknowledged by samsung, they've admitted it can happen on fully stock uprooted firmware update over kies. That's all you say, you were updating through kies, it failed and you're bricked. They can't check binary count under super brick because it's not possible to enter download mode therefor impossible to get any data or connection off the device. Simple.

Well Dear spyderTracks, it confuses me further to think whether i was superbricked at all? coz i could go to recovery and could also go to download mode. as far as i know, u r super bricked if ur phone does not installs any rom and through odin, the rom installation stucks at factoryfs. please correct me if am wrong.
thanx for ur time.

Last night i did the deencrypt mod, cf auto root, and flashed twrp. I have only 23 gb available(at least 2gb missing) and Im confused out the box I swear i had near 26. I know that twrp and root dont take up that much space. Is the userdata.img taking up that much storage? I already reset to factory to see if that would clear anything. Is anyone else having this issue?
Can't offer any suggestions, but wanted to confirm that even after removing encryption I still have 26GB available.
After resetting back to factory default, does it still show up as only 23GB?

if you bought your phone from at&t, its probably the crap in the oem partition
It is a at&t phone but I deleted all the crap out the oem partition. Even the at&t still has 25 gigs with apps installed.
Did you make a backup prior to dencrypting? Might explain it...?
No I haven't. I will just reflash the stock image and try again.
This happened to me yesterday. I have the 64gb version and after trying to decrypt I was down to 23gb. I flashed the firmware, and then relocked the bootloader, and my space was back. Fair warning after relocking your boot up time will take forever.
This happened to me yesterday night too. I have the N6 64gb and after:
- unlock bootloader
- decrypt
- cf root
I was down to 23gb. What I should do now?? I don't care about data but what I have to do, will I lose root acces and decrytion??
Any Tutorial? I'm not that smart ;]
Happened on the Nexus 5 sometimes. Here's an article of how to fix that phone. Maybe the steps are similar.

u know from experience..
I didn't decrypt my phone, but after flashing a stock image I did only have about 23 gb of space showing on my 64 gb phone. I had to do a factory reset to restore the missing space. Note this is a reset from the phone's settings menu (Settings > Backup & Reset > Factory data reset). It takes a while, and obviously deletes all the data on the phone.
Yep, Factory reset from settings - This way solve my problem, :good:
Do a factory reset. That will solve your problem.
My total space is 25.98gb on the 32gb model my phone is decrypted and rooted. I got it from US Cellular. No problems here besides apps like Facebook taking up several hindered megabytes....
Nexus 6
Just use fast boot to format user cache and see if that works. This happened to me 3-4 tens gene restoring my phone and its an easy fix. There is no need to relock your BL. There is also another OP I made a whole ago when this happened it me which could have answered your question much faster.
Just manually updated to 5.0.1 and my phone is showing 23gb total space. I purchased the 64gb version. Unfortunately I never thought to check this earlier, so I guess it's possible they sent me the wrong version. Box showed 64gb as well.
I feel like I read something about a user's space showing the incorrect amount after doing something. Is that possible?
I just noticed the same thing this morning! I'm running a custom rom and Kernel but that shouldn't make a difference. Please let me know if you find anything out

I did a factory reset and data wipe and I'm back to normal.
So I recently got a new Nexus 6 in 32GB. Out of the box I have 23.03GB available. Despite this, I did some research and some people reported having around 25GB free storage. There is no carrier bloatware, this is straight from the Play Store. Why is this the case. Does it have something to do with encryption? If, can someone please point me in the direction in which steps to take to regain 2GB? I am on the latest 5.1.1 factory image as well.
Thanks in advance

im on m, and have 25.98gb. it would all depend on what you have in your system. i, for one, like to delete a bunch of system apps. so mine would show more storage, because my system side would take a bit less space(because i deleted a bunch of system apps). so 23gb sounds very possible. plus, for 5.1.1, that might be the right amount.
23 sounds right. The 64 has 54+change. That would be the same difference for the system partition.
I am almost certain it is supposed to be 25GB? My friend running pure stock 5.1.1. has around 25GB free with nothing installed. It's kinda weird considering the OS is less than a GB.

True, however, I am still hunting down why someone would have 2GB more than me. Could it be due to the fact my phone is encrypted, or running a encrypted bootloader?

Removing things from /system will do nothing for the amount of reported free space as the size of /system isn't changing, and normal apps cannot write to /system, so Settings > Storage completely ignores what is there. It only looks at the /data partition, as that is where people and apps have read/write access.
I'll try to make this long story short. My experience level is pretty low. I've rooted and flashed firmware to a few devices in the past, but Odin worked well and I was always following instructions.
I have a n AT&T Note 3 N900A running 5.0
I accidentally deleted a folder of photos, and needed to root my device in order to attempt recovering the lost photos.
I Tried King root, kingoroot, etc... and failed to root the device.
Then used the N900AUCUBMI1_OneClickBin which Fails it says "SW REV CHECK FAIL: [sbl1]Fused 2 > Binary 1
then i tried Odin and root De la Vega which also failed
Now my device is stuck at "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again.
I download latest Kies... it doesnt support my device....
How can I fix this? Is there a rooted rom I can flash to it? I really just want to extract the deleted photos as the device is aging, but now I'm in over my head.
If this isnt something I can do myself, I'm willing to pay monies if there is someone reputable with references that can fix this for me.
Update
I was able to use Odin 3.09 to install CSC_ATT_N900AATTDNL1_CL3032228_QB3188679_REV03_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar
the phone is now able to boot and works fine but.... it is completely wiped.
I had saved most of my stuff odd the phone, but I still need to root and run data recovery on deleted photos
still needing help, please. thank you.

I've tried several recovery software.
My entire DCIM filder from the device is gone. I'm assuming because I reflashed that I wrote over it? I'm surprised that 1500 pictures wouldnt be able to be found in the device.... Maybe theres solution I dont know about that can do a much deeper scan?
I'm so upset that I lost everything... Didnt realize it wasnt on the SD card... years of military and family photos gone...
I'd appreciate any help at this point. Does someone have access to forensic tools that can recover the lost data?

I've given up on recovery tools and want to make a .raw image of the internal storage that I can convert into a disc image which I can scan. I'm not really understanding how to do the directions at http://www.asoftech.com/articles/android-enable-mass-storage.html
Update:
I learned a LOT in the last few days.
I went and bought a 64gb SD card and am using Cygwin with the command dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0 of=/storage/extSdCard/system.img
I am not certain if this will strip the entire 32gb internal memory and put it on SD card, but we will find out. It is currently at 3gb and growing fast.

Update file is now 8gb,. That must mean it is reading the entire internal memory. I'm doubting I can recover my files, but this has still been an amazing learning process. Will still need to convert the RAW file to a VHD.

I successfuly dumped internal memory to an IMG file on the external SD. Scanned teh data but did not find waht I wanted.
I imagine that if I could get direct access to the internal memory I could recover the data, but that is not hardware or software possible anymore, so I learned once again to back up important things.
Thanks everyone for the helpful responses.
Now to decide what ROM to flash...
Any layman that comes across this thread in the future and wants to save deleted files off your phone, my advice to you is: Take the battery out of your phone and stop using it immediately. If you don't have root access, send it to a professional data recovery service and explain the type of files you lost.
