I recently installed Blisspop but was suprised to see my internal storage go down by a gig after installing 3 apps. I was looking for a way remedy the shortage when I found this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2720675&page=3#post61194706 . That method works on a few Xperia devices. So, has anyone tried resizing partitions? I think I read somewhere that resizing hard bricks the Xperia M!

I know what this mean, but the only installed things are some games ( 2 ) and the message is staying there from one week. The available system memory is only 32 mb free. But almost nothing is installed and all pictures and music and etc. are in the SD card. In the device memory there is almost nothing and I can't delete a single thing.. So do you guys know what sort of problem is this and how can I solve it ? I will be grateful if you can help me. Btw the device it's not rooted and it's fully STOCK ! I can't root it. It's not mine you know.. So.. someone .. :angel: I looked other threads like this but didn't find the salution.. not even on stock device

the easiest way dealing with it is using "link2sd"
a more complicated but better way ul find here
sorry if its been asked before, but i havnt found any working solution for kitkat as of yet.
ive tried ever commands i know was working in 4.3, 4.2.2 and erlier, but aint got it to work.

I don't know about swapping but in settings, storage, make more space, you can move stuff to SDCard.

Try foldermount and creating a link from internal to external... That's what I done as a temporary measure.

Yeah, but don't want to disturb em' with pm.
So hoping some one is able to reply t to this thread with a solution. I'm open to try most things...as I've seen other brands running 4.4.2 with this kind of mod.
And I'm sure many of you out there is also interested in this as it bumps the internal memory from 16 Gb up to 128 Gb.
Any luck?
No nobody seems to know how to for the one with KitKat
I've also interested to expand internal memory.

I have rooted and modded over 5 diffrent phones and 3 difrrent tablets. I have brought dead tablets that no PC repair place would or could fix. they said unfixable.. I was able to fix.. No problem. I hae had my own phones, LG Optimus L9 and F6 Both MetroPCS I have had a few tablets. I root everything withen the first 5 mins..
I just recently started using TWRP over CWM. I like TWRP most.. I never had problems with TWRP.. On my F6 when I fo a partition SDcard(External) it works wit no problem.
On my G3 Using the same commands as I did on my F6. Hardbricked my phone.. and that was with the latest TWRP using TWRP manager.. Everything worked up to that point
of Partitioning my sdcard. Only diffrents from this and my other phones is Unlocked bootloader.. I dont know if that made such a differents as to why it deleted my
internal Partitions insted of the the external.. I now have a $600.00 paper weight. (lucky for me I just got it..( So I was able to get a refund))....
When I used the partition sdcard. it seemed to work then it gave error then said failed.. after trying again. I decided I would just take my sdcard out and format it on my PC. so I used the shutdown command in the reboot area.. After getting the sdcard formated.. I stuck it back in and closed the cover. Now it wouldnt boot back up.. No power or anything. Just a black screen.. I thought it might be something with my phone, till my friend that was over with his, had the very same thing happend using the same commands as I did with the same version of TWRP as I did.. Im surprised my friend didnt want to kick my butt for that.. Not that he would of been able too. but hes getting his replaced for nothing also just gota pay shipping, Now what I want to know is this,
Has anyone here know what happend and why this happend? I searched google and couldnt find anything with the answers I need. I only used TWRP to partition my SDcard but ended up deleting my internal somehow at least it seems. but that doesnt do that on my f6 with TWRP.. so I dont get it, I used the same commands on my
other phone(f6) and even my tablet which they all have TWRP. and nothing like that has ever happend before.
I need a little expert knowledge from someone that might have some clue as too what I did wrong or what could I have done that caused this. So that I dont do this again.
I have another G3 on the way.. it seems like out of all the LG's I have had this one is easy to brick. ( I have never hardbricked a phone before this)

Are you using a T-Mobile g3? You shouldn't have to format your SD card through twrp. You should do it through the PC or phone. I wonder if you accidentally deleted your partitions on your phone. Did you try pluging in your phone into your charger and turning it on that way?
I dont get it. Why are you trying to format the sd card to the computer and all that. If you already had twrp going you simply wipe than install new room and reboot...
why is this even here and not in Q&A
My advice...DO NOT ROOT ANOTHER PHONE. Reading your post it is VERY obvious you have no clue what you're doing. Also, it's within, not withen...
Cant really figure out what happened by what you described...I'll have to agree with Mikeyinid, just leave the phones alone or be prepared for your own consequences, not sending it back to t-mobile because you screwed it up. These are some of the reasons phones come locked down, development is so hard on these devices and will just get worse as time goes on.
I'm sure this will come out wrong. Why is this post in here? This is a development area right?

EXTERNAL SDcard. was on my LG Optimus F6 with a 4 gig swap partition and a 5 gig 2nd partition for link2sd since that phone wont let you install to SDcard..
I needed to wipe that whole card so that I could reformat it with the 64 gigs that it was. instead of the 50 gigs that I had because it was split in 3 parts.
thats the only reason. I had to delete the partitions and reformat it, I didnt want the phone partitions formated.. Only the EXTERNAL sdcard....

Just because I dont type and spell that great doesnt mean I dont know what I am doing.. I have rooted many phones in the past With no problem.. I just happend to run into a problem with this one phone. thats why I asked if anyone here has had that problem before or have heard of it before.. it seemed very strange that it would do that.

I do agree that the phones are getting harder and harder to deal with.. Most of the LG's are almost hard to brick. well at leat hardbrick. this one on the other hand was pretty easy.. Yes I know you can brick anyphone on per pus. but you know what I mean..

Makes sense. Its pretty hard to hardbrick the g3 though. Does your phone at least turn on and goes to the lg screen? If you do have the T-Mobile version g3 you should be able boot into recovery doing the hard button reset and flash a ROM from your SD card. As long as twrp was installed right. I don't think you can format twrp, but I could be wrong.
Did your get taken care of by Google? I'm surprised they honored the warranty with it being rooted.

I've been posting this kind of problem for the past month. No one posted this but your motherboard malfunctioned due to no partition/boot.img that unable the phone to boot. QPST is a hit/miss most of the time but the lg recovery tool doesnt work due to lost IMEI and S/N. The only way is to get a replacement or lose all your data and repair it to LG. They're going to replace your motherboard and it takes around 2 weeks to get the phone back with same IMEI

Thank you so much for a Realistic answer to my question/problem.. I cant understand why nobody else could figure out what I was talking about..
But the question still rises to how did I format my boot partition though TWRP Advanced settings / Partition SD card ? That should only format my External SD not the Internal sd..
I was wondering if it could be the fact that this one if the first LG phone that I have had that has a unlocked bootloader and that opened it up to more (be very carefull) as to my other phones used LOKI to get around the boot lock. (LG Optimus L9 and F6 both MetroPCS. ) because with both of them phones TWRP does what I wanted it to do. that is format only External SD.. even all the tabs that I have installed TWRP on.. only formated the External...

1st do a factory reset,, if still problem persist then flash official firmware...
As the title says, in file manager "system" is taking up about 12gb out of my 16gby phone came with. Tried searching up solutions, none of which worked. I heard it could be due to the A/B partition feature but I'm not sure. Any information or help would be appreciated.
