I have the same issue. My System partition is 455MB (9.53MB Free) according to Titanium Backup
Flashed the prerooted ROM, never checked if it was that or the unlocking bootloader which lost the space...

I don't have my xps yet, should hopefully arrive in next few days.. But I suggest someone posts this issue in the DEV unlock bootloader thread for investigation
I hope the issue is easily resolved as I was planning to unlock and root...

I need someone with still locked bootloader to contact me by PM.

Did any of you tried flashing original FTF image after unlocking to see if it's back to 1GB?

I only have a mac, won't be able to get onto a windows to try the flash tool for a while... Might be able to give it a shot at thursday/friday.

Do you still need someone to flash the ftf file? I should have time later today...
I saw in the rooted img thread some people have solved the problem.

Does this work?
Can anyone confirm that this solution works: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=23682432&postcount=77
I am not home at the moment, so I can't try it myself... But are waiting eagerly for a solution to this error.

Tried this also, system partition returns to 1GB and is rooted.
Additionally, root explorer was included in the system image. TB had issues with the version with SU, updated SU via market and it returned to normal after updating the binary in SU.

[Q] Firmware dumping question

I am looking at guides on how to create roms using 'adb shell' for my Samsung Galaxy Player and I have noticed something. Also these guides aren't meant for my device specifically.
I am using instructions from this page....
http://www.freeyourandroid.com/guide/building_roms_for_odin
and this page...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1082288
Now on the "Free your Android" page they want me to use the commands...
Code:
dd if=/dev/block/stl9 of=/sdcard/factoryfs.rfs bs=4096
dd if=/dev/block/bml7 of=/sdcard/zImage bs=4096
and for the XDA-Developers page they want me to use the commands...
Code:
dd if=/dev/block/stl10 of=/sdcard/factoryfs.rfs bs=4096
dd if=/dev/block/bml8 of=/sdcard/zImage bs=4096
Now I noticed that there are differences in the commands and therefore, how do I know if the dev/block/ folder structure used is correct for my device.
Is there a way to know the dev/block folder structure for my device? I am hoping I am making sense.
It depends which device you have;either the 4.0 or 5.0. For the 4.0 the factoryfs.rfs is on /dev/block/stl9 and zImage is on bml7.
The partitions are exactly the same as a galaxy s phone.
Sent using Tapatalk
I have the 4.0 US. Is there anyway to know for sure? Is there a command that lets me see a directory list of the partitions? I can post them here.
'mount' in terminal emulator

Okay. I typed in mount. Here is my results....

I am assuming that...
/dev/block/stl9 /system rfs ro,relatime,vfat,log_off,check=no,gid/uid/rwx,iocharset=utf8 0 0
...must be the factoryfs.rfs file.
Where is the listing for the zImage though?
I don't know why it's not shown, but I can guarantee 100% it's bml7. I've pulled the zImage from my device many times and flashed it without problems.
Yeah, its weird, results of 'mount' change for me every time. The partitions are identical to a galaxy S, I know as I compared sizes of both (using merticulus's awesome tool). For some reason you can't rip using the bml but have to use stl, even though from my underatanding they are the same. Someone tried recovering with a bml backup, but it wouldn't work, had to use stl. There is probably a logical, obvious explanation for that but I am afraid I don't know it, lol! ATTENTION; EVERYTHING SAID ABOVE APPLIES TO THE 4.0 ONLY! (just thought I should throw in a disclamer)

[Q]can't paste files on some partition like /data , /system and /ext_sdcard

this is weird , i try to copy some files from my internal SDcard to the external Sdcard by using Root Explorer
it keep says "the paste operation failed. it may be that there was not enough free space on the target file system "
but serious , i have 20 GB left in my external Sdcard ... and the file was only 8 MB ..
weird thing is that it happens sometime and sometimes it doesn't happen.
sometimes on /data partition , sometimes /system , like i try to replace boot animation or such .
i tried few ROMs all happens on me as well.
i tried to creat a empty text files .txt , and write something in it and it can be saved. so it just get me confused what's going on :crying:
Using any scripts?

you should remove some apps from system folder because there is a limited space for apps in this folder

I faced the same problem before in system folder
and solved it by removing some apps
i have no idea what to do for the other folders .. :silly:
Do you get the same issue if you try doing it with terminal emulator or adb? I wonder if it is some setting on root explorer that maybe limits file size or something. If you use another file explorer program do you have the same problem?

I didn't try ADB, but when I failed to move around the internal and external sdcard, I can manually copy it into PC and then paste it back in...
In other words, I can access (delete, paste or such) from my PC but can't do it with Root Explorer

Of course it does!, if it didn't have permissions, you wouldn't be able to use it! It is mounted with permissions. Linux basic knowledge EVERYTHING has permissions.
Hence my question "Using any scripts?"!
Since you skipped that question, I am going to assume no.
But FYI, no space errors are 1 of 2 things.
1) No space
2) Wrong permissions
So something for you to think about....
You should check output of terminal command "mount" next time you have this error

This was why I say no permission...
I more think about media scan? But seems highly unlikely.
If it is not mounted or permission error ... then why I was able to create empty text files and write save it? this operation does write on it, doesn't it?

Try other root explorers then....

This is the line you want:
Code:
/dev/block/vold/179:49 on /storage/sdcard1 type vfat (rw,dirsync,nosuid,nodev,noexec,noatime,nodiratime,noauto_da_alloc,commit=100,nobh,barrier=0,discard,uid=1000,gid=1015,fmask=0702,dmask=0702,allow_utime=0020,codepage=cp437,iocharset=iso8859-1,shortname=mixed,utf8,errors=remount-ro)
Which is normal for an AOSP ROM.
A touchwiz ROM would look like....
Code:
vfat rw,dirsync,nosuid,nodev,noexec,noatime,nodiratime,uid=1000,gid=1023,fmask=0002,dmask=0002,allow_utim e=0020,codepage=cp437,iocharset=iso8859-1,shortname=mixed,utf8,errors=remount-ro 0 0
Anyway, you ruled something out there (if you ran this when you got the error)

Yeah... last time it shows error at beginning, and after I reboot it once and now it says error after the paste is completed, with refresh I can see the file in place and md5 checks identical.
That was the line when I got error...
I'm gonna try other files manager...

Partition refers to a specific file system. For example the /boot partition contains the kernel and ramdisk for booting up your device (Note: /boot partition and bootloader partition are not the same thing), the /cache partition contains cache files, the /system partitions contains your system apps and other system folder such as bin and xbin and other. What apps are you trying to use that you need to mount rw for? But if you wanted to modify your /system partition for example you would run the following command from ADB shell or terminal emulator to mount it rw (Read/write):
Code:
su
mount -o rw,remount -t ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p12 /system
Let me know if you still have questions about this.

Hi,
No matter what I do, I can't remount "/system" and "/" to RW. :crying:
Does anyone know how to resolve this issue?

You obviously do not have the permission to do that, so the question is, are you rooted, and if so root again and be sure to have the latest SuperSU installed with updated binaries.

My kernel version is 3.40-perf [email protected] #1 and bootloader is unlocked.
I gained root by downgrading my firmware to .532 version and install rooting using a program called Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry_v33. After rooting is successful, install dualrecovery and upgrade my firmware to .757 version by flashing a specific zip file via recovery followed by flash FTF with Flashtool.
Am I doing it correctly? Is there a better way to do it?

I would try to reflash supersu and see if that fixes it
I'm not sure. I'm having the same issue, sort of. I can mount /system to read write easily but can't mount back to read only. Getting "resource busy" message. Running a 4.4.2 LG G2 ROM. Could it have anything to do with how /system is formatted within TWRP recovery? Idk.. Luckily not being able to mount as read only isn't exactly an issue but more of a nuisance.
Edit:: Found a solution minutes after posting.
Code:
su
mount -o remount,rw /system # works fine
mount -o remount,ro /system # resource busy error
mount -o remount ro /system # works fine without comma
With this knowledge I can go through and fix a few scripts that have the comma between remount and ro. Not sure why this is as it's always worked fine ever since my OG DROID.
Any updates ??

cannot mount internal storage after downgrade to 4.3

I tried to downgrade to 148 to get the cm install to work. Lost access to internal storage. I was using twrp 2.8.7.0 or 2.8.0, flashed the rooted stock ROM from another post here and lost access. I've tried the su command "restorecon -v -R /data/media" and now I can see the internal storage from the settings menu but not change the location from there.

What do I do now? I want to install the cm preview
Thanks for your time
CM12 and all other ROMs require you update your phone to Lollipop, B3xx.

And I'm ready to do that but I'm stuck in 4.3 with no access to the internal storage when I try to flash a new ROM. I'm thinking about going back to the recovery and get the ota update again and trying the cm install from there. Opinions?
Update* I got back to stock 309 with no ability to ota upgrade or install cm via twrp. Twrp still reports "unable to mount internal SD" but I have been able to browse, read, and write to it through the preloaded file explorer, after the "returncon -v -R data/media/" command through terminal in twrp 2.8.7.0.
once you are in 309, follow the cm install thread, and no need to worry about internal storage, at least for now.
copy rom and gapp to sdcard, which is called external storage, and flash it in twrp.
Getting stuck still at install in twrp. Cannot post a link to a screenshot so I'm gonna try to type it out. "this package supports bootloaders ... This device has boot loader unknown." And "e: error executing binary inside of zip..." I've tried all three of the custom ROM zips, cm, carbon, and PAC ROM with the same results.
What now?

Unmount in lollipop and format it. Or re run b309.
Also that unknown bootloader error, one reason is you didn't flash the twrp recovery from that CM preview thread 1st post. You have to flash that recovery image even you already have working twrp.
