[Q] Defy internal memory lost from 2GB to 128MB

yeahhh, had the same problem when accidently flashing the leaked gb rom and trying to get back to froyo via shadows' guide. i thought i was f***ed when i saw the decreased internal storage. but no problem just full wipe via stock recoevery and everything is back to normal.

I've got the same problem, but hadn't solved it yet. I've tried all the ways but cant get 2gb memory again, always 128mb, no matter the rom i flash, the wipes i do...

if someone knows how to solve it...thx

hi there guys,

i'm having the same issues as you guys...

I don't think you would get 2GB of memory on every rom you flash. The most you would get is 1.3GB as off the rest was used by the system data files. This is what they called it share memory. And only froyo and gingerbread has the build in app2sd ability to conserve internal memory space by putting some off your app in sdcard. You must perform cache/data wipe whenever you're flashing a rom or sbf to eliminate any junk files in the memory.

Same problem!

I'm having the same problem even after installing multiple versions of the android 128MB internal memory keeps appearing. does anyone have any solutions?

I solved this doing a Factory Reset, in Settings > Privacy.

i doubt it's that easy...

but i'll give it a shot

I've had the same problem. I think its from following this post http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=14762402&postcount=143 .

Tried to do a factory reset from MIUI. Didn't work. Then I restored the nandroid backup from the post above and tried a factory reset from that and it seems to have fixed the problem. Well I have 1.15 gb instead of 80 mb anyway. Hope that helps

Will I not mess up because in the instruction it has said to boot straight into recovery after flashing the nandroid and flash the fixed sbf?? Plz give the detailed procedure of how you managed to get 1.15 GB??

This works! Thanks man


If you have downgraded from the FULL GC SBF FLASH(instructions here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1216982)

after you flash the fixed sbf after downgrading do a factory reset and voila you will get 1.17 GB internal space!!!!

read, read again, and again.
i missed this information, that Factory reset must be done after Fixed sbf.
i did it at the end with cm7, no help.

also for me, the Beginners Guide did not work.
the only way i found after 10-times doing it:

Method 2: (BIG thanks to Jebrew again for this one)
NOTE: You are going to need CM7 for this one. CM7 Stable version recommended.

Download this SBF and Flash it.
!!!now i did Factory reset and got back my 1,24GB memory (Y)

Root your phone.
Download 2nd Init 1.4.2 and Install ClockworkMod Recovery.
Reboot to CMW recovery, and wipe Data/Cache.
Install CM7 then install Google Apps.

!! here my defy 525 red lens did not go there => Reboot an go into Stock Recovery (using the vol- button, not from Bootmenu).
Do a Data/Cache Wipe or you won't have any space when you're done.
(but it makes the same, as Factory Reset in the Fixed rom, i think)

also CM7 did not boot up, stuck on Google logo.
Flash this Fixed SBF
Reboot into your nice new rom.
Do not Wipe Data anymore or you will have to start again.
