How to recover 32GB on LG G2

I repeat the guide posted earlier with some modification. Unfortunately this is not my thread so I cannot add this info to the OP. Let me know if it could be useful to put it into a new thread.

I assume that you have a fully working phone, the hardware is 32 GB but you can use only 16 GB (10,7 GB). The files we will use are

https://www.dropbox.com/sh/rffyqlmc0f357iv/AACBsJmHZNNPvtgmTiNsHzpxa?dl=0.

Let's start with downloading the necessary files to your SDCard.

You have to be on KitKat, this solution does not work on Lollipop, so downgrade first if necessary.

On the phone use Total Commander to copy the files to /system/xbin and change the permission to 755 on each. Then reboot the phone.

Then type via adb:

adb shell
su
cd /system
parted /dev/block/mmcblk0

Many users reported not to get the following Error messages here:

Error: The backup GPT table is not at the end of the disk, as it should be.

This might mean that another operating system believes the disk is smaller.

Fix, by moving the backup to the end (and removing the old backup)?

Fix/Ignore/Cancel? Fix

Warning: Not all of the space available to /dev/block/mmcblk0 appears to be

used, you can fix the GPT to use all of the space (an extra 30294016 blocks) or

continue with the current setting?

Fix/Ignore?Fix

No problem, check your partitions with "print"

This is what I see if the phone is OK. In your case line 36 should look like:

36 15.7GB 15.8GB 37.7MB grow

Quit parted with

quit

And from here follow the original description:

adb shell
su
cd /system
dd if=/system/bin/sgpt32g.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0 bs=512 seek=61071327 conv=notrunc
dd if=/system/bin/pgpt32g.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0 bs=512 seek=0 conv=notrunc

After finished manually turn off the phone and use the key combination to enter Download Mode. Flash the tight KDZ file or make a recovery via LGMobileSupportTool.

After the first boot you will see that the SDCARD has only 10,7GB only. Make a hard reset Settings/Backup and reset/Factory data reset.

After resetting the phone you will have a 25GB SD Card.
