Root Internal memory size with Lollipop: Is This An Error (I hope)

[Hook]

I just flashed Lollipop using Wugs (haven't rooted yet) , but both Settings/storage and Windows Explorer are reporting only a total of 12.55GB storage. Is that a known error, or is Lollipop somehow that big? I'm obviously hoping the former.

I don't get many useful results Googling this.

Edit: Forgot to confirm, this is the 32GB model.

Never mind. Fixed it by doing a factory reset. I'd say delete the thread, but might help someone else.

Just noticed mine also shows 12.55GB, I'm already rooted. Factory Reset will wipe everything and unroot correct?

Yup. ;-)

Yup. ;-)

Well just did a factory reset and I'm still showing 12.55GB, any ideas? Note: I just Factory Reset through settings, is that the correct way?

Edit: After reset I still had root, just wondering if I did something wrong.

Reset will not unroot, it simply wipes the data partition (minus pictures/files/ect if on a custom recovery).

This is an issue when using the factory images, as the same image is used for the 16 and 32 GB models. Its an even bigger issue on the 2012 n7 because it had 8/16/32GB variants.

I usually just do the full data wipe from within TWRP and it fixes it.

Man if I would have seen your post 2 mins ago, I just went through the WUG's process again flashing factory image and unroot. I noticed this time right after the flash was complete, a pop-up on my PC stating that internal memory might not be accurate and to complete a factory reset now. All is good, now to go back to root.

Had the same problem and it took 2 full flashes of the factory image to fix it. So people might need to know that it might not take first time. Man, that was annoying. I also did the whole go into recovery and wipe data/cache before I booted for the first time. Maybe it worked?

Worse annoyance is thinking I broke stock recovery. Why are there buttons you need to press just to get the recovery options on, Google?

For kicks and giggles I just checked my 2012 Nexus 7 and sure enough it shows only 6GB, did a factory reset and now it's back to 28GB.
