[Q] S4 Mini running our of memory - Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys,
I've got a rootet S4 mini and I'm having the following problem.
The storage is getting full while I use my phone. After restart the settings say "Other storage: 280MB", after using it for one day, I get the error message that my storage is low and the settings say "Other storage: 3,5GB". After a reboot it says the usual 280MB are used. Then it begins again to fill the storage.
What's wrong with my phone? FW is stock, I just rooted it.
Greeting
Andy

I have the same problem! Any one have a clue?

I'm not sure what the issue is but maybe telling us your model and also which rom you're using.
Were there any root apps you used that could've messed with the data?

I got the same problem.
After flashing a newer firmware with Odin the problem was solved.
Now I have 1.2Gb free (of 1.55Gb).
Hope that will help you too.

TCL P600 / Alcatel One Touch Snap 7025D Root and GAPPS

Root and GAPPS instruction for TCL P600
Since TCL P600, TCL P606 and Alcatel One Touch Snap 7025D are the same phones I just write about TCL P600 now. But it's working for both.
TCL P600 root package: http://www.4shared.com/zip/3HRtqraE/TCL_P600_Root.html
HowTo Root TCL P600:
- Extract the file
- Start the flash tool in extracted folder
- Make sure under options it is choosen “with battery”
- In FlashTool load scatter file contained in folder
- Click checkboxes of BOOTIMG and RECOVERY
- Doubleclick on BOOTIMG and refer to TCL-P600_130417__boot_patched_130508-162244.img
- Doubleclick on RECOVERY and refer to TCL-P600_130417__recovery_130508-162244.img
- Switch off mobile and unplug it from usb
- Click “download” in flash tool
- Plug in usb in phone
- If you get a green circle from flash tool saying OK you’re ready with root shell
- Unplug phone and reboot into CWM
- Start Droidtools and plugin usb to phone again
- Install superuser of your choice into phone.
- Ready – you have full root to phone.
If you experience any problems please check if you used the right drivers. Please check drivers attached in folders. Only use them.
Here is the JB gapps zip for flashing with CWM: http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-jb-20121011-signed.zip
Full instruction of getting a well working TCL P600:
1. First of all I updated the phone with TCL updater to the latest firmware.
2. I rooted it as I described before.
3. I deleted lots of China Apps and also under system/media bootup sounds and some - for me - other stuff not needed in order to get more space on system partition.
4. I installed GAPPS through CWM. I did it with this one: http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-jb-20121011-signed.zip
After rebooting I got crash of google search. I ignored it and added my google account. After opening playstore then I got update for google search. After updating there is no crashing anymore.
All other gapps are working quite well. I tested GPS for the TCL P600 and was really suprised it works quite fast and accurate.
The only thing: There is no A-GPS setting. Let's say: There is no GPS setting at all. You can only switch GPS on and off. Settings are not included. Maybe this will be unlocked with a modded rom.
I'm now testing all functions in detail but up to now it works really great.
Hope you got it also up to this point. After all steps this phone is really perfect.
------------------
If you brick your phone you have a brick Not my fault. I don't take responsibility of that my instruction will work for you. It worked for me. So now it's up to you.

Custom Recovery
Hey i want to know if this recovery can be ported to my phone the alcatel one touch fierce it is the same as th one touch snap/7025d just without the 8mp camera and splash water proofing everything else is the same i had tried the aoutomatic port for CRR recovery but when it flashed the recovery i got a security error on my alcatel that says "error 101 unaouthorized software installed "it would not boot upand was bricked i bought the same phone again and i am wondering how y'all ported it to the fierces sister phone the one touch snap .thanks and have a great day
I don't know about porting possibility. I guess there is no way. This thread is not about changing the ROM but just how to root the TCL. There is no custom ROM out actually. So I don't see chances to port. Why should this be necessary? Is the stock ROM having problems?

NO i just want to see if thos recovery could work in the case that ne2w rom development would occur and to create a backup for people who need it that is why i wanted to see if it could be ported
Solved the problems
Solved the problems.
I was able to upgrade wiht "TCL 2.7.4 Updater Setup.exe" the mobile software, I had the "TCL 2.7.9 Updater Setup.exe" version and this version told me it was updated. When I tested with 2.7.4 has recharged my sw and have gone back to the top, I rooted again with wiemerd instructions and now everything has worked correctly.
Thank you for your instructions and weimerd Sixpenny by spend "TCL S 2.7.4 Updater Setup.exe" saved me.

Thank you, i will try. I must install some other version of OS, official is fully bugged. After i used ROMs from xda for last 2 years, on my old phone, i forgot how bugged is official android.
There are so much crashes with official version, corupted SD card and so on...
please help me. after reflashing of my rom with flash tool. i have lost my imei and i have not done backup of my efs. my alcatel ot 7025d can't recognize any sim. i need efs backup or way to solve of my problem. i live in ivory coast there are not alcatel sav in this country.
I used kingo for root. Its really one click root tool. If your phone is rooted, you can restore to default. You can try to restore it with that tool.
Anyone know where to download Custom Boot Loader and Newer version of OS?
I have huge problem with this phone. There is all the time problem with memory card. I am using kingston class 10, 16gb memory but from time to time, after i take some picture or use default gallery, i get message that my memory card is corrupted. I need to restart phone and everything is ok, but sometimes it require even 3-5-7 restarts and its really anoying. Cant take pictures, use ringtone from memory cartd etc.
I tried with official updater but still use 4.2.1 version. Anyone have any newer custom rom?
Sorry for off topic but i am sure that this problems can be solved with some newer OS.

HELP PLEASE !! No network after rooting

Hi, complete newbie here ... if anybody could help me with this, it'd be very appreciated.
I have a Samsung Note 2 from 3 Mobile UK, running JellyBean 4.1.2. The model number is GT-N7100, build JZO54K.N7100XXDMB2.
I wanted to root the phone, so I followed the method 1 (option 3 with custom recovery) on http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2143479. The process went smoothly, and at the end, I got the message like "You have hacked the phone" or something like that from the Samsung Toolkit.
HOWEVER, after rebooting, there's no network on the phone. From Settings > About device > Status, the IMEI also shows Unknown. From File Manager on the phone, the whole /storage/sdcard0 (the phone internal storage) is empty. Completely empty, as in no files or folder inside. When connected to the PC, from Windows Explorer, the Phone free storage shows a negative number (see attached screenshot). I still can go online from wireless and all the apps and settings are there, it's just the internal storage is empty and the phone cannot see the sim card at all.
If anybody can help with what I should do next, I'm very grateful !!! Thanks !!!!
Edit: From further reading online, it seems like I should try to restore the stock firmware using either Odin or Samsung Kies ? I should also backed up the EFS folder, which I didn't do before rooting (since I thought it's a safe procedure), so am I screwed now ??!
Hi all. For what it's worth, the problem was fixed after flashing back to the stock ROM, following the steps described in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1896696 ..

LG G4S / Beat / H735, can't find the ROM anywhere.

Hello all.
I've recently bought this LG-H735 and it runs Marshmallow. Only now I've discovered the issues with its internal memory so I'd like to root in order to use my SD card as default space to install apps.
Problem is, after a bit of search I used Kingroot and it seem to do the trick... until I restarted the phone and it soft-bricked into the usual bootloop. Can access the download mode but it gets stuck at 0% for hours.
Next step would be to flash but I've been searching everywhere on the web and I can't find the ROM. All links are either down, lost or just plain broken. I'd need the PRT version if I'm geting this right, thats what my phone box shows at least.
I was wondering if anyone could point me in the right way.
Any tips would be apreciated, still new to all this. Thanks in advance.
Also... a little question update if I may. Anyone recomend a nice custom ROM for this phone? Unfortunatly Cyanogen is not compatible it seems.
Thanks again.

Internal Storage Hot Swap

Hi.
My phone got hardbricked this year, by installing a Lollipop Custom Rom.
Since there is a Android 6 Rom available on this forum, i want a smartphone again: And its exactly my Galaxy W that i want to have back
So, i had the idea to buy another Galaxy W to repair my old one.
Now my first question: Did anybody manage to remove the internal Storage from the Motherboard?
I already tried a box cutter and a hair drier, to liquify the glue.
Unfortunatly it didnt work.
2nd Question: Is it possible to hot swap the internal storage after loading the boot menu into RAM, so that i can a ROM from SDCARD to the internal storage. So that the phone can start again. Or would it fail, because it needs use the samsung firmware, which isnt on the old internal storage?
3rd: Is there any way to get the samsung firmware on this storage again, besides the OS, which doesnt include firmware, i think?
So, hope you experts out there can help me.
I really dont know much about the smartphone architecture, but to me it looks like firmware and os are on the same chip.
Thank u very much. :victory:

Samsung Galaxy J2 Dash

I have a Samsung Galaxy J2 Dash. The info on this site says that it has 8Gs of storage. I actually have 16Gs. Why the discrepancy? And can you please help me with figuring out how to root this phone. I'm new to this and don't wanna mess up my phone. Thank you.

Hey. Yeah I was wondering the same. It also says that it is a Samsung Galaxy Note 3, has me scratching my head right now
Hi everyone,
I'm new to XDA and have arrived with a pretty annoying issue that I hope can be fixed.
lately I have been able to up until recently install Custom Rom's on my Samsung SM-G532 however for some reason once installing a rom and installing Open GApps I encounter a security error while attempting to booting the device into either Recovery or the Kernel. Booting into download mode works fine. I have tried everything from resetting the stock rom before re-flashing to completely wiping all sys data and dalvik and cache partitions but to no avail. Hopefully some insight can be provided since this annoying issue has brought my playing around to a stand still. the red text at the the top says custom binary blocked by frp but there wasnt a reset after putting my account on the new rom
Thanks
Sam
