Nexus 5 32gb showing up as 16gb on computer

Hey guys,
Anybody else having their Nexus 5 32gb show up as only having 16gb available on the computer? I checked the box and it says 32gb, so I didn't get shipped the wrong one....

Did you factory reset it?

I haven't tried going completely back to stock, did you have that issue and it fixed it?

Yes it fixed it for me. Do a google search first to confirm

I tried a google search about this and it gave me nothing haha, that's why I made this post. When you say factory reset do you mean back to stock? Were you on a custom ROM?

It's a common issue. You need to factory reset with stock recovery (or possibly format data with TWRP, unsure of that). Make a nandroid, copy it to your computer, flash stock recovery, factory reset, flash custom recovery, restore nandroid. Fixed.

how to do a full wipe.

i want to upgrade from viper c2 5.00 to 5.10
can u teach me how to do a full wipe, im using twrp.
cuz i read many threads and its all different methods, thanks.

Just factory reset from twrp. That should suffice. But if you really want to do a full wipe then you can manually select what you want to wipe from advance tab in wipe

I just did this before flashing a new ROM and seem to have lost Root privilege.
Is this normally what happens when Factory Resetting with TWRP?

Yes it's normal.
TWRP will ask you to restore root privilege before leaving recovery. Just follow the procedure.

[Q] Factory reset question

Hi. I have a rooted Nexus 5 with stock ROM & kernel, Xposed installed and TWRP recovery. I'd like to do a factory reset, and by "factory reset" I mean I'd like to have it as if it was brand new. No apps, no media, etc. I think I can keep TWRP, but nothing else. I'd like to have it as it was the first time I powered it on. Can I do that from TWRP? Because I know that when you do a factory reset from recovery, usually, the /data/media directory isn't wiped.

You can not do it from twrp. I'd recommend flashing the factory image and then rerooting.

Maybe I can't read, but why won't factory reset + intsd wipe in TWRP do what he needs?

I'm looking at TWRP right now and I'm not sure which option you would use, there's format data on the main wipe screen, and when you go into advanced there's internal storage. I'm thinking you want to wipe internal storage, but someone else with knowledge of this should chime in first before you do it. I've never factory restored a phone through recovery so I'm not sure. Wouldn't locking and unlocking your bootloader with ADB accomplish the same thing?

There is literally a sticky in one of the Nexus forums that explains how to go back to bone stock. check it out, should be everything you need.

Right, but if you want to retain root and recovery like TWRP, can't you just format your storage through recovery?

OP was not explicit. Asked for it to be like first time powered on which I suspect was not with a custom rom or kernel. Think OP needs to elaborate on what is desired but no recovery can replace rom and kernel with the "factory reset" option

It seems he want's to go completely back to stock while keeping TWRP.

[Q] TWRP Backup from one Nexus 5 to another?

Does anyone know, if I create a TWRP backup, can I restore it to a different Nexus 5? Both phones have been unlocked, rooted and with custom recovery installed in exactly the same way.
Just got a replacement phone, and would rather not have to spend the time to set it all up to my liking again!
Thanks

Yes you can. But DO NOT backup and restore the efs partition. That will make your new device useless. Only backup and restore system and data. That's twrp's default backup.

Oh... just checked and in TWRP, System, Data and Boot are ticked by default. Should I untick Boot as well then?

Boot's ok, especially if you have a custom kernel

It should be fine, it's the kernel.

I'm trying to save my files, but if there's no any other choice then I'll have to format it. I don't have any choice right?

Thank you so much, your instructions are very clear.
I liked how you help by having images attached on it. Keep up the good work. Thanks!

Don't panic,...Change your TWRP with early versions (2.8.x), I tought you already using newest versions of TWRP (3.x.x) which only working if you already in marshmallow.

I'm using twrp v 2.8.7.0 is this ok?
If possible I want to save all files and applications, to have less hassle on downloading them again.
If not possible then, I don't have any choice to format the data.
