Hi,
I'm experiencing a strange problem with the data partition of my Mipad 1. I've tried to install a custom ROM on my Mipad (Lineage OS 14.1). To install Lineage OS, I had to extend my system partition to 1.2GB (with scripts from the MIUI forums). I didn't succeed, and after a lot of trouble I've managed to restore my Mipad to a working state (with Cyanogenmod 11). But my data partion is according to the operating system (settings - storage) only 440 MB instead of 12.8 GB, as it used to be. But according to Diskinfo Pro the data partition (DATA (UDA), mmccblk0p29) is 12.8GB, with 12.7 GB used. When I examine the Mipad via my PC (via USB) I only see 440MB as internal storage.
Does anyone know what's the problem, and how I can resolve it? Thanks.

First of all, I wanna thank all who may contribute to solve this problem, or just by simple reading. Thank you so much. Now then, the problem.
I have an Itouch (brand) 701 (model) tablet running rockchip 312x, 8 gb of rom, 1 gb ram, @ 1.2 ghz, double usb (one is a micro-usb), mini hdmi device. Since I wanted to modify the partitions of the user and userdata (due to have 1 gb of internal storage and 5.6 aprox gb of external storage) I backuped all the partitions so now I have the parameter and partitions saved on my PC. After that I modified the parameter file so I can resize the userdata and user (internal and external) partitions and then install bigger apks and games and stuff. I made the maths and resized the partitions with the parameter file only, flashed all again with the new hex values, and made a data and cache format so the changes can take effect. The problem was that the external partition could not be mounted anymore, and everytime I tried to mount it from the android menu it appears "the nand storage can be safely removed". Thinking that the problem may be in the \dev\vold\31:8 I made the following via adb:
adb shell
su
cd .\dev\vold\31:8
mkdosfs -F 32 \dev\vold\31:8
That gave me as a result an encrypted partition: I rebooted the device and after it booted, it requested me a password to unlock the partition. Flashed all again, and removed that lock but the user partition (the external storage) still keeps unmounted.
Any help will be very thankful.
Hello everyone, I have a RN3P 3gb / 32gb, kenzo, I changed my ROM to XENONHD and my device only recognizes internal 16gb, I've already gone to miui for the miflash and it did not work, can you help me? :crying:
Try formatting your data partition in TWRP, then flash Official MIUI in EDL mode. Make sure to boot into MIUI so it creates the correct storage allocation and then flash your custom roms.
All you may need to do is format Data with TWRP, but if that doesn't work try the above.
So, i recently installed and uninstalled a few custom roms on my lenovo k4 note running android 6.0.
After i accidently installed a new rom without wiping the dalvik and cache of the previous one , my internal storage has suddenly become full . My phone has 16 GB internal storage and before installing the rom i had around 6 GB free whereas after the installation , i have literally less than a 100 MB left and i cannot install anything . I wiped the internal storage completely and it's showing there are no files on my internal storage but it's still full. Can someone please help me to fix this problem??
Hey there! Try to reinstall your stock ROM with one PC

System is where the OS is installed, Cache is a different partition as well as internal storage. So not wiping Dalvik/cache & Cache should not affect internal storage.
Check these TWRP FAQ pages:
https://twrp.me/faq/whattowipe.html
https://twrp.me/faq/datamedia.html <<< especially the part about Format Data.
In TWRP we also have a wipe internal storage option that rm -rf's the media folder and a "Format Data" option that formats to recreate the entire file system in case something goes completely wrong or to remove device encryption.

Can't you connect to a computer while in Recovery & delete some files in internal storage?
What is your recovery's name & version exactly?
And @IsaqueLNC is right: if everything else fails install the stock firmware & you may get lucky.

Hello everyone.
I lost 8GB of internal storage after a bad flash. I tried installing a custom ROM but flashing got stuck for a few hours, so I powered off the phone.
After re-downloading the ROM and reinstalling in TWRP, my phone now only shows 24GB of internal storage, even in TWRP.
Wiping the phone (advanced wipe with everything checked, format Data or Factory Reset) didn't solve the problem. Neither did flashing an original Xiaomi fastboot ROM.
Any ideas what else I could try?

8 gb is used by system partition.
Nothing to worry

Same with me.
In a 32 gb model the 8 gb is used for internal partitioning. 3 gb for system files. 1 gb for cust partition (used by miui only which the dev was able to use for treble support) and the remaining 3 to 4 gb is being used by internal scripting and blob files. (The files used to run android in the first place, such as boot partition and other things)
Thank you.
I flashed Lineage 14.1 and my phone now shows 29 GB of internal storage.
Hi, I’m new so please be gentle….
How do I recover internal storage errors on Motorola Xoom MZ604.
Trying to upgrade Xoom to Omni 5.1.1 wingray, It installs but just blinks and antennae twitch - no access (even after sitting overnight) also tried Omni 4.4.4 no difference.
Went back to check TWRP3SD and found errors when wiping. Searched the internet (XDADevelop and elsewhere) for days and could find nothing for a fix. (BTW - I never have used a password on my Xoom)
Mounting internal storage (which has 0MB) indicates “Unable to mount storage”. Also, fails to mount /data and /cache, both with (Invalid argument)
Data and Cache have 0MB size and when trying to repair them, e2fsck gives error 8. System has size of 1007MB and e2fsck returns an error 4 when attempting repair. Also can’t wipe dalvik. Tried changing system from ext4 to FAT - error changing file system
Tried 3 versions of TWRP - 2.4.4.0-wingray/2.6.3.0-wingray/twrp3sd - no change in errors.
Funny - tried to fastboot flash recovery with multiple versions of CWM and all images error and can’t be sent.
In the beginning TWRP couldn’t see/mount the SD card and I believe at that time it mounted internal storage and had a value for Mbs (tho I can remember the amount). I went through the process of wiping and didn’t pay any attention if it worked or not. Sometime after (don’t ask me how) it could see the SDcard and I could install the ZIPs
Also, before this process when Xoom was in Cynogen, when I connected to windows PC (via USB) I could see internal storage and SDcard - now in TWRP, I just see SDcard. When OMNI come up there is no USB connection.
I must have tried factory reset, format data, repair or change file system about 50 times with no change (bordering on insanity maybe?)
I can supply a recovery.log if it will help.
Any pointers would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
Solved!
A big THANK YOU to everyone that helped.
I used the instructions at https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1052644 (thanks Eric Dabbs)
And found the xoom software downloads at http://www.xoomforums.com/forum/motorola-xoom-faq/11756-xoom-software-downloads.html (xoomforums)
This allowed entry into the initial rudimentary recovery whereby cache was deleted and a factory reset was performed. This version (3.0.1?) had about 3-4 updates. After applying all the updates, internal and external storage could be seen.
Then, upgraded TWRP to 2.7.1.0 big part. Internal storage was available and wiped all partitions (finally success) and installed a homemade Omni 4.4.4. Then, cleaned everything up in TWRP and installed a homemade OMNI 5.1.1. All working fine!
I see that there is a 6.0.1 Marshmallow for wingray….wish me luck!
