my device shows only 32GB after fastboot format - OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers

Hi
I formatted system, data and cache through adb.
After that my device shows only 32GB (of course it is a 64GB OP3).
Could someone tell me what is the reason of that? And how should I solve?
Thank you.

Someone had posted the same issue and here is the solution he shared:-
"I fixed it by flashing the stock recovery, and using the wipe everything command in that, which formatted it back to 53Gb."
Hope it works for you too. :fingers-crossed:

Reboot to recovery. Select Wipe > Format data. This will wipe youre entire phone.
I don't know if it works with stoc recovery. With custom works everytime.

Ok, I did this, but the size of the partitions has not changed - I still have 32GB.

Did you 100% sure formatted data and not wiped it?
I had the same issue and formatting (not wiping) worked perfectly

Thank you. It worked (probably I just wiped the data partition earlier)

How to do a clean install?

Hey all,
Now, I've been reading here and there, did lots od researching, and I am not sure what a clean install consists of.
Here's an examples I have found, but would like to know exactly what to do!
format system,cache,data
wipe cache
wipe dalvik cache
Then flash rom.
What exactly are the best way to get a fresh clean clean install on the phone, from formatting, wiping and more? Just want to make sure that I am doing this right before blaming anyone.
JP
Format and wipe are basically the same in this sense, as all the info in that partition will be erased. If i do a clean flash i usually:
Factory reset-formats cache and data
Format system-removes existing rom(under mounts and storage on cwm)
Wipe Dalvik cache (usually, this will get wiped with one of the previous wipes mentioned, but i like to make sure)
Now, just about everything that can be wiped or formatted has been. Only things not wiped and formatted are the internal and external sd (if applicable) cards and the boot sector. I'm not exactly sure what is in the boot sector, so without detailed instruction to wipe it, I'm not going to touch it. This should give you a clean slate to flash a new ROM.

[Q] Strange missing free space?

I am using like 4 gigs on my main sd. It says I only have a gig left. I doubt my system is hitting 5 or 6 gigs. I'm using the Avatar rom. I attached a picture of my storage overview. I also formatted cache. Any ideas?

You are most like affected by the emulated storage bug. How to fix:
Have a card reader, and MicroSD to SD adapter
Back up all of you data to your computer
Update to the latest CWM or TWRP
Wipe Data \ Factory Reset
Wipe Cache
Wipe Dalvik Cache
Format /system
Copy a ROM and gapps to the external SD with the card reader
Flash ROM
Flash gapps
Profit!
Lemme get other people's opinions before I get drastic.
Get disk usage from the market. Run that and see what it shows you.

Agreed. OP, formatting /system and /data will resolve this issue.
Thanks, I'll give it a try and report back. Can I use the same rom?
Yes sir. Wipe data, wipe cache. Wipe dalvik. Format /system. Format /data. Flash rom. Flash gapps. Reboot. All this is done, of course, assuming you have the rom, gapps and perhaps a band road all on a micro sd card. Cheers

I wiped the data, /system, cleared the cache/dalvik and such. Flashed both and rebooted. It shows 12 gigs total space, 2.13 available. All my files are still there. Are they supposed to be?
No. There's wipe data and format /data in cwm. Did you do both? You need to.
Or are you twrp?

Fixed! This time, I formated /data, did a user data format, and wiped my /sdcard. It's all good now, thanks!

Well the thing that did it was wiping the /sdcard. I might have accidentally skipped over that, either way. Thanks for the help! I got everything back to the way it used to (with more space of course).

Cant copy files into phone when wiping everything in twrp.

Before when i had my nexus 6p i always wiped everything including internal storage, but when i wipe with my oneplus 5T i can transfer files from my computer to the phone. With bluspark twrp i was just using a usb because of that but in official twrp i cant use usb. Did anyone notice that too and if there is any solution for it ? Thanks
I think you wiped everything in advanced wipe option. After that PC doesn't detect internal storage. There is an option of format data in wipe, do it, restart to twrp, and you are good to go.

I always wipe internal storage as well, but formatting data and rebooting to recovery as mentioned above fixes that issue

THANK YOU VERY MUCH IT WORKED !

Guys Please help. Unable To Mount... error. Tried everythng. Video given.

I have watched a lot of tutorials but nothing is working please someone help
I made a video of the problem and what I tried. Can anyone understand what happened
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VaN-y-Worlg
Update: In Data i Changed the file system and went back to original. Didn't work.
I even wiped system. But i guess the only problem is to fix the "data". Since it shows 0 Mb size. But i can't find any way or guide. The ones i did find are too advanced and use cmd commands and toolkits which i don't think an inexperienced user like me should be following.
Some background information: i attempted to install Open gApps and enable Camera2 API. I Entered "read only" mode.
The adb shell commands for enabling it wasn't working (some "proprietary" something shown )
So I tried another method. I downloaded the latest Magisk and flashed it. Then i tried gApps. I don't remember when i started to think what went wrong but yeah..
I found this and I think it may be related.
But I don't understand it properly.
And its and Old post for some other Recovery

Why did you wipe internal storage? And what are you trying to mount. If you are trying to install a new rom all you need to wipe is cache, dalvik, system and data. Wiping internal storage removes everything from the internal SD card and if you do this then you have no OS.

At this point i can't care less about the data in internal storage. I just need to flash the official MIUI ROM back, enable Camera2 API and live in peace. At this moment I'm halfway through downloading the ROM but I'm not sure if i can flash it due to the Mount Issue of internal storage. I plan on transferring it to my micro SD card and flashing it from there to System Image. Will it work? And Internal Storage formatting failed in case you didn't notice. Practically nothing worked except the file system change of "data". And even that didn't fix the unable to Mount issue.

Internal Storage

Help me please.
My phone is in a bootloop and twrp cant mount /data. I tried formatting and changing file system but it all failed. I cant flash rom in MiFlash and it says "flash xbl error" or "FAILED (File is too large to download)"
What did you do before the phone went into bootloop? Also did you format on TWRP via Wipe -> Format Data?
just format data and install rom through micro sd if your internal storage not working in twrp

Alright. Im not that experienced with edl. Can you send picture of Wipe -> Advanced Wipe that we can see all of the partitions? Maybe also if you can send pictures of every partitions details by ticking them and then going to "Repair or Change File System" and taking screenshots? Don't know if this is gonna help, but it's worth a try.

Try changing the filesystem of /data to ext4, and then back to f2fs, and then rebooting into TWRP. I've had this problem before, and that worked for me.
