TLDR; Soft bricked phone trying to install TWRP, flashed stock rom on it, now phone says its 32 GB when its really 256 GB.
Hi all,
So I got a brand new Note 10+ a couple weeks ago and tried to flash TWRP onto it thinking it was easy like it used to be. Boy i was wrong. Stupid iphone user mistake.
So, I googled how to fix the soft brick. Downloaded the most recent firmware and flashed it via ODIN.
I flashed the following
BL
AP
CP
CSC (not HOME_CSC)
I setup my phone and personalised it like i had before and just now got a notification saying my phone is almost out of storage.
So i click the notification naturally being like what the hell already?
And long and behold my phone is now 32 GB instead of 256 GB.
I googled ways to fix this but all the ways say to flash the regular CSC which i already did!
Can anyone help me?
I've provided screenshots of the DF command and the storage settings.
Screenshots:

This could happen if you have flashed standalone AP file without CSC file same time.
Stock AP file must be flash with BL CP and Home_CSC at same time unless it may shrink your data.
Thank you for your response, however i flashed the AP file at the same time as everything else.
If i was to flash the AP file including everything else but change out the CSC file for the CSC_HOME will i keep my data on my phone because it was a pain to set it all back up.
No...
Is there a way to keep my data or no?

If you use HOME_CSC_* it will not wipe data If you use CSC_* then it will wipe data. But looking to your device issue, probably you need to wipe it.

Not sure if im experiencing a factory mouse issue or not. No pics in the threads.
Issue: System info window keeps popping up in menu.(check img)
Occured: After flashing a stock Att md5 from liquid smooth ROM
Attempts:
-Reflashed several stock variations of the md5 through odin.
-installed terminal emulator and tried the typical "factory mode" that is pointed to Verizon users. Entering "echo -No...."
-Initiated self doubt then banged head on wall.
-ReReReFlashed stock ATT with injected root (downloaded from XDA thread)
Interesting points: All my roms and stock md5's have been downloaded from XDA. Im 100% sure im using the correct version. I noticed in attempting to finally sign up for XDA I was initially blocked from doing so because "in attempts to block spam, Verizon IPs are blocked" That's Weird because I'm an ATT user and was on my 4g network.

When you have flashed stock through odin or the root injected stock ROM, have you done a factory reset, cleared data, returned it to a completely out of the box state ?
Where did you get the phone ? Is it new or did you buy it second hand ?
I've seen others with this and they can use the phone but the lockscreen is gone and the ppower button menu is gone as well. Is the imei corrupted ?

1. Download full ROM, verify MD5 checksum and copy to phone SD storage. And download GApps and do the same. Also download the FL24 Modem as you will need that as well.
2. Download and copy Jellybean X2 Format utility to SD storage: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2077277
3. Install EL29 Directboot kernel. It can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1662295
( Look for: GB - Direct Boot CWM )
Note: .tar file is for flashing with Mobile Odin, .zip is for flashing in recovery (you probably don't have one), and .exe file is for flashing with Odin on PC.
4. Reboot into recovery, flash JB X2 Format then the ROM. You may flash the modem at this point if you like (required to run CM), but no other mods until ROM has fully booted the first time.
***Note- EL29 cannot flash modems- however, you can always flash it after the ROM boots with the built-in recovery***
5. Let ROM boot fully and settle for a couple of minutes during the initial boot. (It will take around 10 minutes)

Hi guys this is my first post in xda developers but i've always solved my troubles with your help. But now i really need to expose my problem, cause actually i can't find a solution even if there are many posts about it.
I changed my clockworkmod from 6.0.1.0 to 6.0.4.5 to flash a 4.4 android version rom on my galaxy w.
everything went okay, i guess but i had some issues with photo gallery (kinda everything duplicated, so i had a bunch of ''useless-double-files'').
One day later I decided to go back to my 4.0 rom and here the mess begins. I tried a restore from cwm but i couldn't because there was an error about restoring /data (but there's still the recovery date in that list) so I re-flash the 6.0.1.0 cwm and the 4.0 android rom, but when i turn off my phone all my pictures was GONE.
I plug my device to my computer and it says that the available space is almost full, like when the mess wasn't happen, but when i browse the pictures i can't find them. :crying:
I tried this and everything goes til this:

(even if my .raw is only 8mb???? )
edit: i looked up in partitions of my phone here and i re-did all this but downloading mmcblk0 instaed of mmcblk0p12 that was only 8mb. this is goin over 1,80 gb. is this the correct partition?
how can I turn .raw file in files?
Please help me guys, i literally waste my all day.
(Sorry for my bad english tho)
(sorry for double posting) i've got news..
i finally got my .raw / .vhd files. they are
mmcblk0p28 (that is my mnt/sdcard stuff 1,7 gb like my internal storage phone is. it's 100% full but i didn't find much.. only small pictures)
mmcblk0p17 (that is /data and i find not much pictures in this)
then i tried mmcblk0 that was the largest file (the whole phone i guess?) but when I attach it as a vhd in disk management it comes already partitioned and allocated. what does it mean??
should i give up? i will never get my pictures back? :crying:
In the last couple days I ended up moving my way up the Stock firmware going from N900TUVUDNE6 4.4.2 w/ root Knox in tact to N900TUVUDNF4 4.4.2 w/ root K.I.T. Within the last 24-hours I was tinkering around with the ROM and I cannot believe I was so derpy but I made a few changes with some apps and ended up doing a reboot. Well when I went to reboot the normal first boot screen came on

}
(mine is the N900T, I pulled the image from a google image search) and it goes blank after that. I can get into Download Mode and Recovery no problem, and I almost feel like if I just try to re-flash the stock firmware I will be good to go again. My biggest concern about doing this is losing my root and I wouldn't very much like that simply because to get it back would mean tripping Knox. So, I guess what I am looking for is someone who might have a stock System Dump of the N900TUVUDNF4 with root. Even better if it were in a flashable format for Odin or Recovery. I'm also open to suggestions to other-work arounds. I've tried reflashing bootloader, CSC, modem, non_hlos, and recovery with no luck. Before updating the ROM I did to a factory reset so that it cleared all data for a fresh install and have since cleared data/factory reset and clear cache. So, like I said, I am open to suggestions ideas, etc. I've done a lot of research and tinkering around trying to figure this out, but it finally came down to needing to reach out to someone.
Additional Info:
At one point I was getting ADB when it was sitting on the black screen, but now I can only get ADB when I choose update with ADB in recovery, otherwise Odin is picking it up.

Thanks so much, you are a life saver. Back on NF4 with root access!
Hi, I have a problem since a few days ago.
I have a J2 prime that had certain system problems so I decided to flash it with Odin.
The process ended correctly but never started the phone (stuck in erasing...)
I did many operations:
I did a wipe data in recovery (and stuck in rebooting...), I have marked nand erase all in odin, I have even downloaded another firmware of the same model, I flashed with another Odin and the problem continues.
The phone was connected to the charger all night (7+ hours) While the screen appeared "erasing ..."

If I remove the battery I get the message "no Command" when turning on the device again
I need help, please.

Some small details needed I guess. These are mandatory for flashing w/ Odin anyway:
0. Firmware is downloaded from known site like SamMobile or Updato.
1. Odin version is 3.12.3
2. Firmware matches your model name (which i guess you have)
3. Flash all 4 (BL/AP/CP/CSC)
It seems like your phone stuck in erasing tho. Maybe try replace the CSC with the HOME_CSC included in zip file.
( The HOME_ one is basically the same with normal, except it skips wiping data)
Looking forward for the reply~!
