Detected Internal Storage is only 32GB (Tencent Edition) (SOLVED) - ASUS ROG Phone II Questions & Answers

Hi, just got my ROG Phone 2 Tencent Edition today, and it is already in WW firmware and fingerprint. After about 1 hour, I realised that the detected internal storage is only 32GB. Tried some file manager app to make sure, and they said the same thing, total internal storage is only 32GB.
Anyone got similar problem or any ideas?
Thanks in advance
got a thread with similar problem and it is solved by a factory reset.
Tried it and indeed it worked. Thanks to @Fraigeizzt for pointing this out.

hey hello my friend, I had a friend with the same problem, it unlocked the bootloader completely cleaned the system, flashing it to normal firmware and all the devices returned the memory. I think it’s from the firmware or (bug)

So it means I must revert to CN rom?

I had the same issue and my solution was to wipe the phone

Is there a thread with an manual how to flash a rom and how to get an actual rom? Will "normal" rom get automatic updates?

[xt1068] Moto G 2014 bricked more than once, which stock firmware to use?

Hello all, a while ago my Moto G runnning CM 12.1 suddenly crashed, got stuck in bootloop and upon factory reset it got bricked with access just to the bootloader. I brought it to a friend who was able to install stock firmware and then CM 13, the phone worked fine for a few days just to have the same issue all over again.
I did as he told me, and basically went through the process of flashing stock firmware as per this post., but it fails when flashing motoboot. My friend said he "bombed" the device with all the (failed) commands anyway until the phone was completely dead for a few hours, then recharged it and was finally able to flash the firmware. I tried doing the same but I never got past the motoboot bit as mentioned above.
I used
RETAILDSDSALL_XT1068_5.0.2_LXB22.46-28_cid7_CFC.xml

I've scoured many posts but haven't really found any specific answers as to how to identify the correct firmware out of those up for download, I can provide other info if needed. The phone has been revived before so I guess it is doable again, thanks for your help and have a good year everyone! :highfive:

Having problem flashing a genuine firmware

So Hello guys, I've got a Mi5 from NIS-Store around a month ago.
It's working totally fine but... I've set up finger print and password protection but after testing it, I decide to remove it and then where all my problems with Mi5 come up.
When you get to the settings option and get to password, it simply shows a white blank screen and after few seconds, settings apk just crash.
I've find out that I'm running chinese seller rom or something like that. Found some tutorials on Xiaomi website how to flash the proper rom but non of them are working for me or I'm just to stupid for it (Never done anything on other phones then Sony :laugh.
It's running 7.2.8.0.0 (MAACNDB) Miui 7. Its defo not the global version even though it is said... I've tried flashing proper rom with both update apk on the phone and the MiSuite (far as I remember the name) and I couldn't done it.
Do You have any ideas how to get a proper rom on it ? I'm running out of ideas...
Other then that problem, phone itself is just amazing.
Unlock your device first. Then download official fastboot rom for your device. Flash it using miflasher
Thanks, waiting from Xiaomi for approval in order to unlock it. Any idea where can I get the Xiaomi phone with a proper official software? Would love to get another one but with proper software.

Check their website for fastboot-ready firmware.
I got my Mi5 from ibuygou.com and asked them to include the original ROM. They sent me a factory sealed Mi5 with the China ROM, which was what I wanted. I was able to unlock the bootloader and flash the global ROM in minutes.

Before I start, will it erase all the media on the storage? Like apps, photos etc ?

It will erase everything besides of internal storage, but better make backup.

Note 8 Odin Fails on Andriod Pie install

Using Odin v3.13.1 , running as admin, using updato to download N950USQU5DSC1, at first it would fail at file analysis, changed to a USB 2.0 port and now its stuck at initialization? Not sure what I'm doing wrong I've done this plenty of times before, anyone that has successfully flashed Android Pie with Odin can give me a hand?
Sounds like the storage on your device may need to be reformatted. If you purchased a UAE device then it needs to be reformatted in order for you to manually install the OS back onto your device.

The device is an original T-Mobile N950U device with the unlocked N950U1 US Firmware, so basically a stock phone, not sure why it would fail

ROG Phone incorrect storage capacity

Hey I recently received a ROG Phone 2 from an online seller that had already flashed the WW rom.
However the storage size of the phone has a capacity of 32gb. When it should be 128gb.
Would that be due to the rom being flashed incorrectly? Can this be fixed if i were to redo it?
I can't seem to find anyone else with this issue.
Thanks.

Where did you buy it from?
Also download these two apps CPU-Z and DroidInfo then confirm the internals of your device.
Maybe a mistake was made when partitioning before flashing the WW ROM.

I bought it from Kogan in Australia.
Both apps show that i have 18GB of total internal storage.
If it is the partition.. is that something i could fix?
Thanks for your help.

What of the RAM? Also, check the processor information and see if they all check out.
I would have advised you to get into recovery and see if you can work it out then flash new ROM.
But advisably, the safest bet is to reach out to the sellers and return it cos trying anything on it may be against the Ts & Cs.
fYou can enter the fastboot mode and run the command to recover. fastboot oem factory-reset! Then you can restore the correct storage, or you need to find the ww firmware, into the fastboot mode, the full brush can be! I hope I can help you!
Hey guys,
had the same prob with my phone, i talked to the reseller and they told me to do a factory reset, after doing it i've got the complete 128gb memory on the phone.

Xiaomi Mi8 no SIM cards and Wifi, random reboots after update to xiaomi.eu 19/12/2019

Hello, I flashed my mi8 like I do every week.
This week I flashed the xiaomi.eu weekly rom, used it for 10hours, then my phone randomly restarted, and now it don't detect SIM cards and don't turn on WIFI, and the phone restart every X minutes.
I think the persist partition has gone. I can't find it on TWRP.
Any help?
Thank you

I sent my phone to checked by a professional, because it fell from the couch in the afternoon, and everything is working, no shorts.

This issue has happened on many phones over the past 5 years, and it can definitely be resolved, it has nothing to do with unlocking anything, it's a encryption problem.
It is possible that when Mi-Cloud attempts to register your sim card, that some sort of security packet is downloaded to the phone for your protection. Ensure that you can sign into your mi_cloud account and locate your device, if using Miui. Also, be sure that you have international texts enabled, they text just once or twice so it doesn't cost more than a few cents.
With all of that being said a persist issue isn't the same thing as a sim card issue, and if you phone will not boot you are well past taking out your sim card. The easiest and fastest solution is to restore your persist partition from a TWRP backup, if you have one.
If that is not an option follow my instructions here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=79824537&postcount=2

If you are meaning that your bootloader is locked then the only option ( if your phone is linked to your MiCloud account) Is to return to a stock rom using Miflash or by downloading a fast boot images rom and using the flash all.bat method. The link that I provided earlier has a fast boot images rom linked.
Clarify whether or not you can access fastboot. If you can in fact access fast boot, and you previously used custom ROMs the instructions for installing TWRP are on the official TWRP website. You simply use ADB to push it yo the recovery partition.
