I've got a galaxy s4 32 gb version. After official lollipop update,only 8gb is available to the user. Now i'm using CM11 rom ,so is there any way to get the 32gb storage back?

I tried formatting system,sd card,data,cache/cache partition .

Please reply
[XDA Assist] jd1639:
Hi, thank you for using XDA Assist. You'll probably have to Odin back to stock. Then format cache and then factory reset in the stock recovery. Also check in your device's forum to see if anyone can help you there. They are the experts on your device.

[Fire HD 6 and 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] greenie01:
Hey guys, after receiving my new Kindle Fire (ariel running 4.5.3) I followed steps 1-3 outlined here and managed to get TWRP installed and my Kindle rooted. Things started going wrong in step 4 however, when I followed the instructions linking to here, which then linked to here. Steps 6-8 of DeLooper's instructions are where I started to run into problems.

I installed the 4.5.4 update and then the SuperSU update and clicked reboot. I didn't see the "updating message" referred to in the instructions, instead the device just went into a boot loop. During this boot loop, I was still able to get the device into adb mode, and from there back into the TWRP recovery. I tried flashing the same file (with and without SuperSU) several more times with the same results. I also tried wiping the cache as well as doing a factory reset and still nothing.

After going back to the second link above (bibikalka's post), I downloaded the 4.5.4 update file he linked to from Dropbox in "Update 3" (which was different than the 4.5.4 update linked to by DoLooper). I then installed this file using TWRP and rebooted. At this point, my device went back into a boot loop, but now I am unable to access ADB or my recovery.

I still can get the device into fastboot, so I don't believe this is irrecoverable. I tried issuing the following:

fastboot -i 0x1949 flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.8.6.0-ariel.img

however, the command just hangs and nothing happens as far as I can tell.

My guess is that my recovery/bootloader file(s) are to blame for my problems? I'm still fairly inexperienced with all of this, so any wisdom or direction anyone could provide would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks!
[Fire HD 6 and 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] greenie01:
So here's some additional information -

Like I mentioned above, I can get the device into Fastboot mode, but once I get there I can only send one "successful" command. The first command supposedly works but the second will just hang. Occasionally on the second command I'll get the following

So from here I can run

fastboot -i 0x1949 boot boot.img

and I get

and that's where it sticks. I've also tried doing the same with the TWRP recovery image I've got and the same thing happens.

Does anyone have any suggestions of anything I can try? I've got nothing at this point, so they don't even need to be good suggestions ;). Is my Kindle hard bricked?
[Fire HD 6 and 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DoLooper:
Sorry you're dealing with this. [MENTION=6680544]bibikalka[/MENTION] will have to give you a hand. Just wanted to mention that the difference between the two TWRP_ready update zips is not significant. (Explained here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=61771073&postcount=28 ) I linked to mine while b's was briefly unavailable.

Early on a couple people flashed update zip into recovery partition, but I'm not sure how that happened or if it could be the problem. Hang in there. Bibikalka can advise.
[Fire HD 6 and 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bibikalka:
If you cannot boot into TWRP, I think you are done (Pwr & Vol+ during boot up). I wonder if somehow you have 4.5.4 bootloaders in there (instead of 4.5.3), because these would prevent you from booting into TWRP.

Try to get into TWRP, if not, call Amazon.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Galaxaster:
I've owned Samsung galaxy Notes 2,3 and 4 but for the first time I'm going to give this next edition a miss.

No SD card or removable battery is like Windows 8 without the start button and will IMHO prove to be a similar disaster for Samsung.

However, it's not just this as the specs feel more like a downgrade and a stop-gap, the equivalent of a Note 4s.

So I'm in the market for a new phone from a different manufacturer and looking around at what's coming up.

Hopefully they'll 'take note' (pardon the pun) for Note 6! :D
[Galaxy Note 4 General] POLO_i780:
Lets wait until Unpacked before the "Samsung is going down/doomed/Note 5 sucks etc..." parade.

People posting around here like they have already used a Note 5 when we do not know the final spec yet and what else it may bring.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Toss3:
Not sure under which rock you live but it has been raining and Samsung's roof is leaking. We already know that it's going to be using a 1440p screen, 4Gb DDR4 ram, Exynos 7422 SoC, same camera as the S6, and the same NAND as well. The only "new" thing they are going to introduce has something to do with audio quality. So no sd-card nor swappable battery. Note 5 is also going to be sporting the same ****ty touchwiz version as the S6/S6 Edge, that is even more flawed than the version for the Note 4 considering it is running on better hardware yet somehow performs worse.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] POLO_i780:
No I haven't, but calling a phone that you have not used yet ****ty and so on is not exactly smart. The specs don't tell the whole story and it may have many improvements over the S6 and Edge in its TW by the time it gets released.

Unless you have played with a fully functional retail unit of the Note 5, I'd suggest reserving judgement.

Like I said, people acting like they have already used a Note 5 without knowing everything about it. A lot can be changed between now and release, especially in terms of software.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Toss3:
There are leaks everywhere and even if the software is improved it's not going to matter considering android m is launching later this year, as the note 5 won't get the update until much later. The S7 is going to sport Samsung custom core SoC so support for the note 5 is going to be even shorter (note 6 being a larger version of the s7). Oh I also forgot to mention that the note 5 is going to have a SMALLER battery than the Note 4 (3000mAh) and no IR blaster.

I'd wager the note 5 is going to be Samsung worst selling galaxy device ever.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] POLO_i780:
Well if the rumours are correct and the Note 5 has a limited release, then yes it will not sell the way others have, that is pretty obvious.

Oh wow, speaking of Note 6 already, you and I do not know how the mobile industry will be next year, Samsung may just have to change direction with the Note 6, maybe even make a diff. variant of it as they did Note Edge. Again, a few specs do not tell the story.

We are in 2015, yet people are as closed minded as they were decades ago.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] wase4711:
I dont think its close mindedness, but more like a major letdown to the fans of the Note series.

Aside from the s pen, folks loved the note for its flexibility in storage, and its ease of using it for days with spare batteries and such. Sure the giant screen was part of it, but those other things turned out to be important parts of what made the note series such a "cult" hit..

Now, with alot of those things disappearing, its easy to understand why so many folks are going to abandon the Note series.

It doesnt mean they are closed minded, they are just upset that some of the major features that kept them coming back to the Note series wont be there any more.

And you cant blame people for that..
[Galaxy Note 4 General] POLO_i780:
There are now cases that can bring MicroSD support and so on, but I say lets wait and see what happens at Unpacked.

These rumours have gone up and down, 1st it had a 4100mAh battery and now its 3000mAh, some report Exynos 7422 and others 7420, but I guess the 7422 will be international and 7420 will be USA. Some report the Dual Sim variant will have a MicroSD slot yet the S6 Duos never had a MicroSD slot, and then there's the software which can be subject to major change between now and release.

What I am saying is, leave your mind open up until Unpacked. I remember last year when everyone was convinced we would get a Galaxy S5 Prime with metal build, instead we got a Note Edge.

EDIT:

Another rumour

https://www.thegioididong.com/tin-tuc/thong-so-ky-thuat-cua-galaxy-note-5-va-s6-edge-plus-681235

Claiming:

4100mAh battery

32GB internal with MicroSD support

AND IR Blaster

LOL, Unpacked must just come and put and end to this madness.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] IncisiveOne:
Losing the SD card and replaceable battery is bad enough IMO
[Galaxy Note 4 General] POLO_i780:
You said the Note 5 was going to have a smaller battery than the Note 4, at 3000mAh, yet as is typical of rumors, they conflict, I up you one with a very recent image of a Note 5 retail box that claims 4100mAh battery:

http://www.phonearena.com/news/Is-this-the-box-for-the-Samsung-Galaxy-Note-5_id72423

This is my problem with prejudging before a phone is even announced, I am still unsure what to believe. You had already made your mind up that it is a 3000mAh battery, due to another rumor. There have been multiple rumors that claim either 3000mAh or 4100mAh, and I also posted a link of a spec sheet which claimed IR Blaster, but another rumor claimed no IR Blaster, and we are not even sure if the Note 5 images we have been seeing are not early prototypes.

I cannot understand how people can draw a conclusion based solely on rumors. One thing it does do is keep the stock market an interesting place though, I've made and lost money due to rumors, lol.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] The Zel:
Well, I don't think going from the sd805 to the exynos 7420/7422 is a minor upgrade (considering how fast the s6 with it is)
[Galaxy Note 4 General] @home:
So much hate for a device not yet released. If you don't like it don't buy it, simple as....
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Toss3:
Well the 3000mAh was a bit of a stretch even for samsung, but that doesn't mean the Note 5 is going to be anything but a large S6. My issue though with samsung has nothing to do with the hardware, but with how Samsung treats their customers; I know that they don't guarantee any updates, but they should have figured out by now that people always want the latest updates along with the latest interface (that's why people keep buying iPhones). It's just a shame to see samsung making the same mistakes over and over again letting Apple walk all over them (Android as a whole suffers). Wish Samsung would seize making cheap low-end devices and just keep their previous gen models as the mid- and low-end phones, in order to be able to keep up with updating every model to the latest android and touchwiz versions.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] POLO_i780:
You see now there I full agree with you, 100%!

And from what I am seeing, they have become worse than before, we are still waiting for 5.1.1 and now there is a huge vulnerability found yet they continue to drag their feet. It is very frustrating and it has had me wondering if I could live with an iPhone 6S Plus, but I like Android and thoroughly enjoy its versatility.

Its a tough one, it makes me wonder why manufacturers can't just make their skins downloadable or separate them from the core of the OS and allow Google to issue the Android Updates to us, then they (the manufacturers) can do their skin updates at their own pace. Would make a lot more sense.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Toss3:
I'm not desperate enough to consider an apple device, especially now that Samsung has committed themselves to frequent security-updates. Would like to see every Samsung phone updated simultaneously, but as there are 1000000 different models that's just not possible.

Google handling the updates would indeed be ideal, but touchwiz uses it's own framework so it's more than just a custom skin.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] POLO_i780:
Can't have it all I guess.

I am a fan of TouchWiz (one of very few it seems), all I would like is faster and more consistent updates.

Their commitment to monthly security updates will be interesting to see.

[Galaxy Note 4 General] bonerp:
Even if the phone does pack a punch, the lack of note key features means it doesn't offer anything to make me spend oodles on a note 5.

Samsungs path is to follow what apple are doing rather than be innovative and provide somethings its customers want. Note customers are more picky than s6 users (we also spend a darn sight more on it), which is why the note 5 (a fat s6 with a pen) will fail to increase samsungs profits - I defy anyone to argue against this.

There are so many good phones in the near pipeline - if you don't need the pen (which although is nice to have its not imperative for me), there is the hugely competitively priced Moto x, the upcoming Nexus 7, the top spec (rumoured) LG G4 Pro, to name just a few.

In Samsungs plight be like apple, they've forgotten the key thing - what its customers want. Here is a lesson in ensuring you do market research!

Yes inbuilt memory is fine if you have a truly reliable high speed data connection everywhere, and the ability to charge the thing in every coffee shop, but for those of us who don't live next to a 4g mast/wifi hotspot and want to drag around a power pack, the lack of these 2 features alone make the note 5 an impossible buy - at least for the price Samsung will want to charge.

....and that's before we even talk about the speed to deploy critical updates!
[Galaxy Note 4 General] jayesh:
Not one to defend Google normally, but that's the reason i went back to my nexus 6. Yes its not half as sharp, camera is a step below, but its got no issues with security and it does not get shunted aside a few months after purchase.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] apprentice:
All the Note series have been larger versions of their S series siblings. So it's no surprise that the Note 5 will be a large S6.

I do agree though that Samsung have an appalling customer service and public relations reputation and it pains me to say they could learn a thing or two from Apple sadly.

They came up with the S6 as a ground-zero project to satisfy the critics ... read that as journalists. Tech journalists have always favoured Apple products with a few Android blogger exceptions. So we end up with the S6 looking like an iPhone clone. The "oohs and ahhs" of those journalists was great for Samsung but they were short lived as soon as another new phone showed up. What Samsung should be doing is surveying current Samsung customers and asking them what they really want from a phone. Doing proper market research and lining that up with what they can technically, financially and feasibly manufacture without it costing the consumer stupid money, will be a winner for them.

I agree that we should not completely judge the Note 5 before it's officially launched but I think we have a good enough idea to form a relatively good opinion of it. I owned every Note since its birth and I have to say this is the first time I have hesitated about upgrading to the next gen version. I guess we will have to wait and see.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] wase4711:
I like the idea about asking existing Note users what they would like to see in the upcoming versions. It would make people think that Samsung was actually interested in what their customers wanted and liked in their products.

Unfortunately, the Mega corporations, like Samsung, prefer to TELL you what you SHOULD want in your products, and that is where so many of them just miss the boat when it comes to long term product loyalty, and ongoing customer satisfaction.

I guess companies like Apple, who focus on nothing but consumer electronics, are alot more focused on their customer service/brand loyalty, than a multi faceted, diverse industrial conglomerate like Samsung is.

[Galaxy Note 4 General] filthydani112:
A lot of people dont realize that storage is a big deal, with Note 4 you can record 4k videos which can take a lot of storage fast, and if you gonna record on 1080p you will probably use 60 frames which will take more space than the 30 fps full HD videos, a single picture takes 4 mbs, alot of them will take space eventually, some games are 2 GBS and if you play some of these games you will need the storage, some people put flac files instead of mp3s for better audio quality and that does take a lot of space , so you have a device that can play flac files, record 4k, 2k, 1080p60 fps videos, logically you should find ways to maximize the storage even if it means putting TWO SD cards, yes i said TWO sd card slots but instead YOU ARE REMOVING THE ONE SD CARD SLOT AND GIVING ME a 32GB device!

32GB and half of it is required for the system so basically you have 16GB of free storage.

And NO SD Card.

This IS a big ****ing deal. You cant play many games as you want, you cant record many high quality videos as you want, and you cant listen to the flac or 10000s of mp3s as you want, you are pretty much restricted to do any thing, if you want to use your phone just to make calls just use your old Nokia 3310
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Toss3:
You are absolutely right and as THE work phone, the note 5 should always take function over form. Dual sim for all regions with the second slot also being able to function as a microsd-reader. You also need to remember that the Gear VR content also takes up a lot of space if you want to buy the first "official" VR headset available (the other two were innovator editions); 128Gb isn't even close to being enough, especially when it comes preloaded with crap. 128Gb fast internal memory and a second 128Gb microSD card would be good enough for now.

Btw should we as Note-users all agree to use the same hashtag on social media when samsung announces the Note 5 to let samsung know that we want an sd-card/replaceable battery in the note 6? #NotARealNote Would at least send a message that gets heard.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] madushan92:
haha +1

Samsung is going in the same path that Nokia went few years ago

[Galaxy Note 4 General] Galaxaster:
LG G4 Pro

The upcoming LG G4 Pro looks like it will be the choice to replace my Note 4.

Roll on October! :cool:
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Toss3:
The hashtag doesn't matter, as long as people tweet and post the same thing on multiple social media channels. It was just an example. I can promise you that Samsung are paying close attention to what people are chattering about so having something like that trend would make a huge difference.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] chongox:
Unless the phone have a 10000mAh battery is a no go zone to me, i can live with no-sd

but go out on the weekend and run out of battery by saturday night is not an option.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Toss3:
3000 mAh seems to be the case - so smaller than the battery in the Note 4. https://twitter.com/evleaks/status/631188175696883712
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Drizzy xS:
I think that guy is bull****ting tbh, for one it wouldn't make sense for them to make the battery smaller and the same on both phones, for two a lot of leaks have said 4100mah
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Toss3:
The guys working at the local store also said 3000 mAh so that seems a lot more likely. We'll know for sure by tomorrow, but all leaks thus far seem to be pointing at 3000 mAh with super fast charging.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Drizzy xS:
I'll be fuming at that that is absolutely unacceptable how can they justify making the battery smaller? Anyone in the world even a common user, who's not a moron should know they're taking the piss out of you if they do this
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Toss3:
Battery size really doesn't matter if the SoC and other components/software are a lot more efficient. With 3000mAh it should outlast the note 4, but the latter of course has the upper hand with swappable batteries (gonna be interesting to see my current SoT; already at 3h 20min with 56% battery left! The phone has been on for 16h 4min without charging).

Wow I must be under a rock to. If it has 7422 I'll be happy, but 95% of all reports say 7420, sames as gs6.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Toss3:
It's the 7420 sadly. Most reporters don't seem to know the difference between the two, so I assumed it was correct. Guess we'll have to wait for the S7 in order to see the 7422.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] bonerp:
superfast charging has killed 2 of my batteries in 8 months. Difference is I can change my note 4 battery today so I don't mind using it!

---------- Post added at 01:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:54 PM ----------

maybe if you don't use it!
[Galaxy Note 4 General] rushless:
The 7420 is more power efficient than the 805, but the 7420 GPU actually uses more power than the 805, so gaming will actually be less or equal battery use with the 7420. The misnomer though is the actual power savings perception. The 7420 is about 20% more power efficient (cpu), but that does not mean 20% more battery life. Most power use is the display and data radio and then the chipset. The cpu is about 30% of the weight (unless gaming it is higher).

The actual power savings would be around 30% times the savings of 20%. It would be about 6% battery life savings overall and this assumes not much gaming. Based on the 220 less mah, that is a 7% smaller battery. The result should be about equal for battery life compared to the Note 4.

Added: Unless the display is improved over the already good Note 4. That would have more impact than the 7420.

---------- Post added at 01:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:43 PM ----------

The case for the S6 with SD does not work well since OTG is not designed for integration like the sd storage path is. Now, if Android revised OTG it could be. Not seeing that happen though.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] wase4711:
not only that, but that case is like hanging a suitcase on the back of your phone..It makes a slim and sleek phone feel like a brick..

hardly a "solution" to no sd card/removable battery..
[Galaxy Note 4 General] rushless:
This is a biggie. Battery tech has not changed and forcing charging time up degrades a battery capacitance more quickly. You could notice less life after six months and really notice it after a year- depending on use.

I suggest turning fast charge off on a fixed battery device.
