I know it is an old thread, but hopefully someone will respond me. I try to increase Android partition to 16G and I replaced gpt.bin with gpt_16g.bin. I tried the procedure twice: first time in phone flash tool 5.3.4.1 I use “flash-no-erase-all.json and recover” and second time “flash-no-erase-all.json and blank”.
First time file manager was behaving like the partition is not expanded and showed almost all space to be filled with apps and system data and only 300Mb free space and I had issues with downloading large files. At the same time DiskUsage app showed 9.72Gb storage space with 3Gb used for apps and 6Gb free space, but system data was shown incorrectly as only 600-700Mb.
Second time file manager is behaving same as DiskUsage app and shows 3Gb for apps and 6Gb free space with only small amount of space used for system data. I believe that this way I can download files and install apps, since file manager shows a lot of free space, but is there no way for storage space to be shown as 16Gb and everything to be as is should be?
Is anyone having the same issue as me?
Am I doing something wrong?
