Hi, can someone point me to a fix for a Nexus 5 32.00 GB reporting 12.86 GB after going from stock, to custom, to stock then back to a custom rom?
Understand that its a common 'fault', but can't seem to find the fix.
Thanks, in advance.

OK, so I have a customer recovery, TWRP.
Where do I acquire the Nexus 5 stock recovery and do I just reflash it to the device?
Are there any other things i need to do besides flash the stock recovery?
Thanks

Pull the img files from stock rom here - https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images
And fastboot the recovery img
Do the reset. Then fastboot back twrp
Actually you may find after extracting the img you probably can use twrp's flash img option to do it

OK, reflashing stock recovery not going so well.
Have a red triangle showing on the recovery mode.
Now going to plan B, reflashing stock rom to (hopefully) get a working the stock recovery.
This could be a long night ..................
OK, now realise that the red triangle isn't an issue.
Managed the factory reset, and voila, there's the 26 GB storage back again.
Thanks for your help, Alex
Hi all,
I have a Nexus 5 that I'm trying to return to stock. I'd like to keep the bootloader unlocked, however. If I follow the instructions here (minus the bootloader lock part): https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images will I be all good to go with a completely wiped, good-as-new phone? Also, will this overwrite TWRP, which I currently have on the phone?
If you follow the instructions and flash everything, yes it'll go back to stock and replace twrp with stock recovery as well
If you flash the img files individually, you don't have to flash the recovery img if you want to keep twrp tho

Thanks! I think I'll just do that, but I'll keep the bootloader unlocked in case I need to flash more things later.

If you're flashing stock, remember there's a built-in behaviour that checks for stock recovery: if it's not there, it will overwrite whatever is there (twrp, in this case) with stock recovery, on every reboot.
You'll need to take care of this if you want a stock+twrp permanent combo.

After looking at this guide, it says that you need to do a factory reset in the stock recovery after flashing all the images. Is this outdated information?

Yep, next time you're on stock checkout /system/install-recovery.sh and /system/recovery-from-boot.p files.

If is possible, how? i remember flipfont for my old nokia
I don't think so, pretty sure u need to add the font to system in order for it to be seen and without root u can't gain access to system files

Using a custom recovery to flash zip font packages would bypass android altogether.

This is true, I guess u could also manually add the font using twrp and the included file manager, u would have to set permissions as well but it would work, didn't think about that, but again, that's assuming he's rooted or at the very least has an unlocked bootloader so he can flash the recovery

Yep. Well, he should just need to boot twrp, don't think there's a need to flash it.

Well if he currently doesn't have twrp installed he's going to have to flash twrp first, and the only way to do that if he isn't rooted already is by using fastboot or a Toolkit of some kind, its a very simple process just:
fastboot flash recovery "recovery.img"
And done

All fastboot boot will do is boot the stock recovery unless he's previously flashed twrp/cwm, if he's never installed a custom recovery, the "fastboot boot recovery" is useless

I meant not being able to "fastboot boot (custom recovery)"
I do it all the time on many devices, so was curious why you mentioned it would boot stock recovery. Always boots twrp when I use it, but I have never tried it on M so was wondering if something changed.

Oh no I was only saying that if he had never installed twrp on the device the fastboot boot recovery command would only boot the stock recovery. If twrp was installed prior tho it would boot twrp like u said

What he said only makes sense if that's the case.
Still, I find it hard to believe that if I 'fastboot boot twrp.img', TWRP won't run.

Mate, let's clear this up:
EVEN if you don't have TWRP installed, and you do 'fastboot boot <twrp-2.x.x.x.img', the device WILL boot into TWRP, WITHOUT flashing.

Twrp still needs to be on the device in order to boot it, u don't necessarily need to flash it, but if twrp is not on the device, how can it boot twrp? I've never booted it without flashing it, so I may be wrong, but I don't see how u could boot an image that's not there lol

What I'm saying is if twrp has never been on the device to begin with, fastboot can not boot an image that was never there, it can't be cached to memory if it was never in memory, the only way I could see to do this would be to do
fastboot flash recovery "twrp.img"
fastboot boot recovery "twrp.img"

It is booted via fastboot from you computer. I have done this a bunch of times on devices that have never and still don't have twrp. Download a recovery you have never used onto your pc and try.

If you don't do a factory data reset in the settings of your phone but use the factory reset option in twrp recovery instead then you will not lose your pictures or anything else in your internal SD card.
Odin flash the stock firmware after doing a full wipe of system, data, cache, dalvik and factory reset all in twrp recovery before Odin flashing.
Good luck and have a nice day.

Your phone needs to be rooted to use twrp as I have outlined.

It's easy to root.
Get the twrp Odin flashable TAR file , the noble version and Odin flash it after copying Jovys rooting kernel into your internal sdcard.
You can find jov23's stock-modified rooting kernel in the n920t original developers thread here in this forum.
After Odin flashing twrp your phone will boot into twrp recovery where you need to install Jovys zip file kernel.
Good luck.
