How to increase internal storage memory on Galaxy S2 for Apps

Samsung Galaxy S2 has 16gb of internal storage out of which 14gb space is available, but not the entire available capacity is usable for apps installation. Unlike modern smartphones like Galaxy S4, our galaxy s2 has two internal partition, known as Device Memory(about 2gb) and USB Storage(the rest i.e. about 12gb). Device memory is the location where apps are usually installed. USB Storage is the location where data (apps data like those of games), user files are stored. So, even though you might have lots of internal storage space available, you might face storage issues during apps installation because you’ve just about 2gb available for apps. In this tutorial, we’ll see how we can increase device memory partition and decrease usb storage partition to accommodate as many apps as we want on our beloved Galaxy s2 smartphone.

  • This tutorial is only for Samsung Galaxy S2 (GT-I9100) model only.
  • GO to phone > Settings > Storage. Check your available internal storage space.
  • Download ODIN 1..85 program from here.
  • Download Philz CWM Recovery for Galaxy S2 from here
  • Download Partition files from here.
  • Backup all contents of your android phone including pictures, music, videos as this process will completely format your mobile.
  • Extract the downloaded zip files.
  • Launch ODIN program.
  • Put your phone into download mode by turning mobile off, then press volume down+home+power buttons together for few seconds. Press volume up key when prompted on the phone screen to continue in download mode. Connect your phone to computer. You’ll see one of the rectangular boxes in ODIN turned yellow indicating that the program has detected your phone.
  • Hit on PDA button and select Philz CWM Recovery file.
  • Click on PIT button and select one pit file. (I prefer 6gb pit file as it gives me a perfect balance between device memory and usb storage capacity. 6gb is more than enough for lots of apps installation, 8gb remaining for usb storage is also good for user files, data, etc. And by the way, music and video files are stored on micro-sd card instead of internal storage)
  • Hit on Start button. Once you see the message “PASS”. The process is completed, you can unplug your phone from computer.
  • Now, go to phone storage settings and check if the device memory has increased and usb storage space adjusted accordingly. You may be required to format usb storage before it is shown in storage setting.galaxy-s2-low-storage-space-warning-solved
  • If the new storage setting is still not visible on your phone, then do factory reset either from recovery (volume up+home+power keys together in phone off state) or from phone settings (Setting > Backup and Reset > Factory reset). If storage is still not increased, flash stock Samsung firmware or custom ROM for your phone.
  • If nothing works, feel free to ask us in comments. However, for whatever reason, you want to go back to stock storage setting. Download and Flash this stock pit file via ODIN from here using the same steps as mentioned above

  2. Hi

    I try to increase internal memory of my Galaxy SII by following your instructions. I get one problem while doing that. When I press start Button I get following message in Odin:
    SetupConnection..

    I have
    – accepted installation of apps from source other than the Play,
    – Formatted USB storage,
    – replied with storage settings.

    Can you please advice me on how to Setup this Connection as I do not understand what exactly should be done.
    I use USB cable connection with my PC and I have Win7 running on my laptop.

      1. Hi

        Thanks for the fast reply.
        Yes, I saw my phone connected and a yellow color in ODIN on Thursday. Something strange, because I do not see any color today, but my laptop and the phone pop-up a notification on successful connection.

        1. I forgot to mention in the article that you should put your phone into download mode before connecting to computer.. Check the article again with the update

  3. This is what you need to do to get Odin to recognise the phone:

    Turn Off your Phone first
    Then goto Download mode by holding
    Continue step of the Phone Screen.
    Plug in the USB cable > You will notice ODIN recognize it by Yellow filled square .
    Click “Start” of ODIN.

  4. I tried everything as you mentioned but my process stopped at SetupConnection..

    Please guide me how to proceed further. There is nothing happening in the phone as well.

    Please advice

    1. Updated the article.. (One step was missing that user should go to download mode on their phone.. This step is so obvious with ODIN program that I forgot to mention this. I assumed that users know.)

        1. the same happened here with me the device memory is still the same 1.97 GB and the USB storage reduced to be 7.51GB !! i dont know what to do ??!!

        2. this worked very nice thanks , but i want to ask u if i can increase the Ram ?! , i heard that i can with an external SD card , is that possible ?

  5. Didnt work, tried it with new version of odin got the pass but still not increase in internal partition. tried usb format, still no increase. cant understand what im doing wrong. followed this to the letter at least 3 times

      1. sourav ji first send a right kink where i can downlode right software , u r videos r really very useful if they work i m from indirapuram delhi u r from

      2. bro i receive a error my name is 103.exc wnen i open file,
        Download Philz CWM Recovery for Galaxy S2 from here,
        pls gave solution both links software are ok

  6. Hi
    Same issue as Red and Raj. Opted for 6GB internal storage. My USB storage was then reduced by 4GB (I assume to add to the 2GB already in internal storage and make it 6) but no increase to internal storage, still at 1.97. How do I get that 4GB added to internal storage?
    Thanks

    1. Flash your firmware or ROM again.. For some users, after completing the given steps and flashing android firmware again (stock Samsung or custom ROM) solves the issue..

  7. Can i please know whether i can follow the same procedure for my at&t galaxy s2 ??????
    Using the pit files above ????

    1. I’ve not tried and I can’t say.. It’s risky..
      Do you have exactly the same total storage capacity, system memory storage as the international version of galaxy s2?

  8. Hi Saurabh.. I did all the steps as mentioned in your video. My phone was detected and I saw the yellow color box. But when I clicked on PDA I could not find the Philz file in the downloads.

    1. Did you download the philz file? You should look into the directory where you downloaded the concerned file.

  9. Hi,
    thanks for posting this information. I just used ODIN 3.09 and the newest CWM 6.0.4.7 and while flashing ODIN it stated it failed…
    At first I got a shock, but after rebooting in recovery mode, CWM was updated from 6.0.4.5 to 6.0.4.7 and after booting in CM11 the partitions were changed.
    After a new installation of CM its all working with the new parameters.
    Thanks!

  10. Oh, I just see that you forgot to mention in your article that when connecting the phone to flash with odin, you must be in Download-mode (Volume DOWN, PWR + HOME-Screen), not recovery-mode nor normal boot.

  11. hi guys
    firstly thanks it works for samasung s2.
    answers for some issues:-
    que:-related setup connection?

    if u have facing this error just turn of your and press volume down + on/off+ home button same time. than you screen will pop up with warning message mention something about external OS system download. don’t get panic just hit OK.

    than it will go to downloading mode and display message don’t turn of the device or similar like this. it take little time like 15-20min.

    note:- leave your phone connected to Odin software all the time.

    than u will end up with pass message. and after that screen will popup with memory format option. just hit OK ,you will get your result.

    if you don’t find result and it shows yellow sign after reboot than follow second ans.

    que2:- related memory decreased but not increased in device memory?

    ans:- just simply do factory reset of your phone. a complete format.
    settings-backup and reset-factory data reset.

    than check your device memory.

      1. after this i still got yellow sign. i just turn off my phone till from it is hanged on start up screen. even i take battery out several time but still same problem.

        actually i have Samsung s2 GT-I9100T now it is showing me GT-I9100 on boot screen. but not going further.

        can you help me in this.

    1. If you are getting setup connection error, just ensure that your Kies is not running. Kies casues a connection error when connected alongwith Odin

  12. hi, i just follow your instruction, my device memory its still the same 1.97gb but usb storage decrease into 7.51gb. can you help me ?

  13. Well, I followed your instructions, chose the 4 GB pit and now my total storage has dropped by 4 GB and the App Storage has remained the same, i.e. of 2 GB.

  14. Saurabh,
    Thank you very much. I followed your instructions and it works perfectly, just as you have shown. This is a simple and effective way to increase space for internal apps storage. The advice and feedback from other users was also very useful.
    However, a note of advice to all attempting this – it is critical that you take a BACKUP of your system to your micro-SD card using existing Recovery (CWM) module on your S2 prior to commencing this process. My S2 was operating on a custom ROM (Resurrection Remix) and I was unable to start/boot after I had disconnected from Odin after this procedure. So I went into Recovery Mode (the PhilZ touch Recovery flashed using Odin) and did a Restore followed by a Reboot. Then the system re-booted normally and I found I was at the stage where I was not able to see the reduced internal storage. After another re-boot, the phone indicated that it had found ‘Blank’ storage (exactly as per the Video) and suggested a format. After this I was able to see my S2 storage clearly.
    The above may only be relevant to custom ROM users.

  15. I did every thing as you mention and odin message become pass. after rebooting my s2 dont restart and black screen only . then i try to go recovery mode i dont find my recovery menu on my s2. can you guide me solution for this. i can go still in download mode.
    Regards
    Hijas

      1. The same thing happen to my phone … i can only go into download mode..how do you flash the official stock firmware …cause some people are telling me i need a new board cause my phone cannot recover

  17. what do u mean by flash official stock firmware…. i did all the needed steps the usb has gone down but the system storage is yet to go up is still at 1.97.

  18. Hi Saurabh
    I have tried to increase my internal size of my S2 to 6GB and followed all the steps listed in the notes several times but it gets stuck at setup connection and then fails on “can’t open serial com port”. I have been in download mode on my phone and it still fails. What am I to do now?

  19. Saurabh, I want to thank you for this useful guide, search a lot of sites but none showed these method.
    It worked perfectly for me (after i did a hard Reset), then saw the new space.
    The Client was soooo happy that memory problem has been resolved.

    Hope you don’t mind if i document the process on my blog – credits to you.
    Just as a precaution, you should warn users that the process can potentionally cause phone not to boot.

    1. Hi soki,
      could you please show me the steps to take to do the hard reset since i’ve re partitioned but am now stuck with the yellow triangle and can’t get into the recovery mode(volume up+home button+power button).

      PS: my S2 is on the Ginger bread Version

  20. Thank you Mr Saurabh ,
    I followed all the steps … but after I clicked on start the green color didn’t appear nor the message ( Pass ) …. I wonder what the problem is ? only these messages appeared …can you help me please ?

  22. Hi Saurabh
    I have tried to change my galaxy to 6gb storage but only goes as far as the setup connection and then came up failed. Now I have followed the steps to the letter and put my phone into download mode and still does not work. Can you help.
    Regards

    1. Make sure ODIN program detects your phone.. WHen you connect your phone to computer, ODIN program should show “Added” message in its log window.

      1. I have been able to change my galaxy S2 to 6gb. I needed to turn on USB debugging to do it. But now I have to Flash my firmware or ROM. But how do now do that.

      2. Hi Saurabh,

        I’ve followed your instruction but the ODIN is not detecting my S2. Please provide me the solution for this

        I

  23. Hi Saurabh,
    Thanks for the share. I’m using CM10.1 and did the steps above. My phone did not boot after the partition don’t know why so i just recover my saved data and it did the trick. I need to reboot twice to see the other internal storage.
    Btw, please indicate in Odin for user to checked this option “re-partition” then un-check “f. reset time”. By default they have a different settings. Some reader may not look into it and just start partition.
    Thanks,
    Dref

  24. I have a problem changing the partition. I made it on 6gb, but now I want to change it to 4 GB but it’s not possible. Every time I made it the phone want a security memory password. Please help.

  25. hello, can you help me please. I’ve done but now i want to change from use file PIT 6GB to file 8GB and how can i do that ?

  26. Pl. anybody confirm by doing this process if repartition does my efs ie. My imei no. Will be affected or not

  27. Hi, at the end of the procedure ODIN shows me “FAIL!” in the first empty big rectangle and gives me the message “Can’t open the serial (COM) port.” In the yellow little rectangle there’s written “0:[COM5]. How can a manage this? Thank you.

  28. Hi,
    is this will work for my s2 Kitkat Rom 4.4.2
    i see your video but i think it is not 4.4.2 yet, thank you i am waiting for your reply…

  29. Thanks Saurabh,
    This really helped. I am a proud owner of SII but I was contemplating buying a new phone because of limited internal storage, now i can happily use it for some more time :)

  30. I had rooted my Samsung S2 by Cyanogenmod Installer , a couple of weeks back and now tried increasing the partition to 6 gb with your guide but after everything went smooth and Pass step, my s2 does not boot up but can go on to the download screen only. I reset and tried with 4 gb but the same result. Please help me

    1. Did you try factory reset from recovery?
      You can flash official stock samsung firmware from download mode via odin program.

    2. Hi, I was wondering if you have fixed your problem? I am stuck in the same situation and am in desperate need of a solution! Cheers.

  31. All worked a lot simpler and quicker than I was expecting. I did have to do a factory rest to get it to recognize all the right sizes, but all good.

  32. hi saurabh, is this working with gt-I1900G (G version)
    I already did it. The result my phone wont start. If there any solution? Thanks.

    1. This tut is for I9100 only.. If you can get to recovery or download mode, flash stock firmware on your mobile.

  33. Hi Saurabh
    I have followed all the instructions it did work
    if i flash to the stock firmware or rom will the internal memory still stay or will it be restored to default memory settings?

  34. Thank you, my phone just got an extended lifetime! I needed to restore to factory default for the new size to show up, but now everything works fine.

  35. Is it possible to just use ALL internal memory for apps and put any other data on the external micro-SD?

    Or at least have a 12 GB PIT file (not just the current biggest 8 GB one)?

    Is there any guide to “cook” those PIT files?

    Thanks for your replies.

  36. by the way, thanks, I have now 4 GB instead of 2;) 10x

    but , hey it is normal after I do this job to appear a yellow triangle logo when i start the phone?

  37. Hey I did everything as told but don’t see the pass coming thru after clicking start.. what do I do now?

  38. Hi Saurabh,

    Is this PIT file works for Galaxy S2 GT I9100 G also… If not can you please upload for 9100G as well.

    Thanks
    Amit

  39. i put my phone into download mode.. but umfortunately my Odin 1.85 doesnt detect my phone even i waited over a half and hour patiently.. i turned on debugging mode, bt odin doesnt detect.. and also tried to turn off debugging mode, bt result is same.. Saurabh , pls help me.. what will i do??

  40. Hey at first i got everything done except that my device memory remained the same, the rest of my SD card was unusable and i wasn’t asked to and couldn’t get my SD card to format.

    Now the solution i found was once everything is passed an extra final step is required.
    *Settings>Backup and reset>Factory reset
    Once the factory reset takes place you will get the partition you wanted. =)

    1. I followed every step of Surabh kumar but it decreased my memory from 11.50 to 9.50 Gb and system storage was 1.97Gb after that i followed your step Ivan i thinks this is the last step ur ryt,

      *Settings>Backup and reset>Factory reset.

      and it worked now memory is 9.50 and system storage is 3.97GB.

      Thanks both of u guys Saurabh Kumar and Ivan. .

  41. Hi,
    I did all the steps, the usb storage has gone down but the system storage is not yet to go up. It is still at 1.97.

    Please help.

    1. You need to do a factory reste of the device for it to work.

      Go to back up and reset and choose factory data reset.

  42. Hi…. Thanx fella ! did everything step by step and its worked. I have changed my Internal storage, but that yellow caution icon is always high lighted when ever i restart my Phone….. Overall perfect process worked Thank You sharing

  43. cant download the recovery file from philz. shows that the download is down.. please advise or send it to me if possible

    Nimrod

  44. I did this approach and it worked just fine. Thanks man for the direction.

    Just one question

    I choose the 8GB partition which is now 7.87 GNB and now I have 6.12 GB remaining available space.

    How much is left for the rest of my videos, pics, and assorted stuff?

  45. Hi, thanks for posting this information. Work fine with:
    – pit: 6GByte file:
    – rom: I9100XWLSW_I9100XXMS3_I9100ITVLS2_HOME.tar.md5;
    – cwm: PhilZ-cwm6-XWLSW-XEU-5.08.5.tar.md5.
    Great work!

  46. YOU ARE GENIUS MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN!
    IT WORKS TOTALLY PERFECT. I WAS ABOUT TO SEND THE PHONE TO A FAREWELL PARTY AND GO FOR A RECENT MODEL, BUT YOU SAVED THE DAY BY TEACHING ME HOW TO MAKE USE OF THE THEN USELESS USB STORAGE WHICH IS SHARED NOW TO DONATE SOME GREAT CONTRIBUTION TO THE DEVICE MEMORY…. NOW 6GB.
    Thank you

  47. I have made my mobile in Download mode and connected to laptop after launching the app but there is no yellow or any other kind of colours diplaying in any of the boxes…………………..
    please suggest as early as possible

  48. hi, i did/follow all the instruction but on the odin it shows pass. but how come it didnt appear/ didnt add on my storage? :(

  49. (Apologies if this got posted multiple times. Had a browser crash when sending.)

    Thanks for your hard work. I’m excited to try this, but I had some questions first:

    If I do this procedure, what happens when I wipe/flash a new custom or stock ROM? Does this new partitioning scheme survive or not?

    Also, is the new partitioning scheme saved within a nandroid (CWM) backup or not? Or is it something that exists “outside” this?

    Sorry if these are stupid questions.

  50. Hi Mr.Kumar

    thank you very much.
    I am using Galaxy SII with Arabic edition. Does this procedure change my android to the English version only or It does not affect the language of my device?
    Thank you.

    1. the handset model should be gt-i9100… your rom will remain the same… don’t forget to do factory reset from settings after completing the process

  51. Hi,

    I’ve a major problem now: All Apps can’t access storage on external SD card, for example gallery does not opens, or camera, same behaviour.
    The strange thing is that from settings -> memory I can see the SD card in place, and from ES file explorere I can browse the contentes…

  52. I did it with my Samsung t mobile version and it didn’t work and it was stuck in download mode thing and i got scared and too out the battery and now my phone won’t even turn on! :( I’m so scared and its like my first actual good phone. when i connect it to the computer its is there but when it won’t turn on. i have all files backed up by Samsung kies but my phone won’t work so back up won’t work.It was rooted and had titanium back up if any help. PLZZ MAKE A VIDEO ABOUT IT!

  53. Brother i followed same steps but it decrease my internal memory from 11.50 to 9.51 as i selected 4GB partition and also when i restart my phone it shows yellow traingle. . help what should i do now. .

  54. Hi..I already change the phone to download mode, but after I connect to the PC with cable, the yellow indicator did not appear..so, I cannot proceed to the next step. how to solve it?

  55. Thank you Saurabh

    I have taken all the steps and everything went as you have explained, however in my phone’s storage the device memory is still 1.97 gb and usb storage has got reduced by 6 gb and is now 7.51 gb.

    I am just concerned where that 6gb has gone? I wanted to add that 6gb to the device memory. However if I have messed up something kindly let me know what shall I do to get things recovered to normal?

    Also when I turn on the phone now, I see ! mark in yellow triangle while booting.

    Please reply.

    Regards
    Simran

    1. You need to format your phone i.e. factory reset for the changes to be visible..

      yellow triangle during boot is normal for rooted device or device with custom mods/recovery, etc.

  56. A simple way to free up storage space is by deleting all the log files in the device memory. Just dial *#9900# on your phone and select option 2 “Delete dumpstate/logcat” in the prompted menu. It’s not necessary to root your phone either. That’s it!

  57. Hey saurabh,

    it worked gr8…thx a ton. that yellow triangle is also fine..i can live with it.

    but i need to know whether i can update my android version as it shows 4.1.2 and when try to update. it says: the system updates have already been installed..

    plzz help…thanks in advance

  58. Hi,

    for me it works with 6Gb
    on S2 I9000 Installed CM 4.4.4 unfortunately there is issue with the SDcard recognition/I tried with 2 different cards and same error..

    When I hit gallery, I get a box with an exclamation point in a white triangle that says NO STORAGE and underneath that it says “No external storage available”

    Can you advice please.
    thank you.

  59. Will this increase my /system partition? I need to flash the new GApps from 20140606 but it doesn’t fit in the current 503.4MB /system partition of the GT-I9100.

    I would like to increase it as much as possible, to be honest I don’t care much about the internal memory as I have a 32GB SD card. I can put everything there.

    Can someone who did this show me the output of the command “df” run as root in a terminal, please? (not sure if you need root actually)

    Please please someone reply.

  75. I followed the instructions and it all got well , but when i unplug the phone and open it , it didnt open , always stuck on “Samsung Galaxy sII Gt-i91100G” screen!! Help ?

    1. same thing happening with me too…. i don’t know how to get it working back…
      if u have found the solution plz let me know plz.

  76. Hello sir, I have same problem on my GT-N7000 (Samsung Galaxy Note 1). The step you recommended was very good. I would like to find out can my Note 1 be able to do so and where can i download the odin, cwm?
    Thank you sir.

  77. Thanks Saurabh, it worked beautifully but 2 important points: (i) when clicking on the Philz CWM recovery file above users have to be careful not to download iLivid, the link to Philz is below! and (ii) I had to perform a factory reset, when the phone restarted though I had 0kb for USB storage, however if you drop down the notification from the top of the phone there is a message to format the USB storage, format it and everything is there. BEAUTIFUL!

  78. Hello,

    I tried this method to increase my system storage to 6GB and according to ODIN everything worked. However, when i try to turn my phone on, I only get the Samsung logo and then black screen. The phone won’t start.

    When I connect it to the PC I cannot see the phone under “My Computer” but ODIN can detect my phone.

    When I try to go to download mode, I get only to something called “ODIN mode” and I’m not able to do anything in that menu.

    Also, it seems like my phone can be charged only through a USB cable connected to a PC but not through the charger.

    I tried to reset (soft and hard) but nothing works for me. Could you please help me with this situation? I welcome any suggestions and replies to my comment!

    Thank you :)

  79. thanx man that’s really impressive it worked only when i did factory reset
    I’ve do it with 4 GB file, can I do it again with 6 GB file ?

  80. Hello Saurabh,

    This is GREAT and my long pending issue is now solved !
    However, my office email no more works on this (GT-I9100) as it detects a custom OS on the phone. Is it possible to have increased partition with Samsung official OS?

    Thanks in advance.

      1. Please help me with the link to download Samsung official OS release and also the procedure to be followed.

        Thanks again.

  81. Dear saurabh,

    I have seen your video on how to increase the internal storage for samsung galaxy s2 and I have downloaded all the required files and i have connected my phone to computer and started following the steps but in ODin my phone is not getting connected. Kindly suggest what needs to be done.

  84. Hi Saurabh,

    Thx a lot for this great tutorial! I thought the days were gone for my GT-I9100, but now I have no more nagging about low memory!

    Great work!

  85. Great! Big disadvantage of great phone is with this removed. Only 2Gb out of 16 and the phone was useless before. You have explained everything very good, and process was fast, easy and successful. Now I can use this nice phone further.
    Thanks!

  86. Hi everybody!
    With this tutorial I have a new phone! Tnx

    Now my phone suffer of random reboot.
    Any other have experienced this symptom?
    Any idea how to solve this?

    Tnx in advance.

    1. You can try changing to another kernel/recovery/ROM because the problem might be in your ROM or any of these…

  87. Sorry sir. Nevermind my comment! I was able to successfully update my phone. Thanks for the directions. Really helpful!

  88. i have a samsung s2 and i did what was mentioned on your video and now it is coming up with a triangle sign on start up and than goes blank how do i go back to my old settings

  89. Hello,

    i did all steps as per instructions, and once PASS showed on ODIN and i unplugged the device, it rebooted itself and… no boot screen.. nothing boot. i am on black screen now. I did factory reset/clear cache .. and still the same

    it was running CM11 – 4.4.4

    any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

  90. Hello Saurabh,

    That’s some really nice work you have done. I checked on your youtube page for any video to achieve the same result for Galaxy Note (i.e. to increase the internal memory of Galaxy Note N7000 beyond 2 gb just like you have shown here for S2). However I could not find any content for my case. Could you please help me to increase my internal memory for my Note N7000?

    Thanks and regards,
    Priyadarshi

  91. I tried to format the internal memory with 6GB and it passed. But my phone is not booting up. Its stuck on initial screen of Galaxy S2 and stays there …Please let me know how to resolve this issue..

  92. Hey SAURABH, thank you, it is working. All you have to do is to follow the instructions.

    i Have one question: now when I’m starting the phone, a yellow triangle with an exclamation point is showing. What is this? How can I remove this exclamation point?

    Thank you very much!

  93. hello I have a galaxy s2 it worked ;) yeah… my brother has a xcover2 same problem

    thanks for the reply, Franjo

  94. HI, SAURABH MY HEARTFELT THANKS TO YOU. IT WORKED ON MY SAMSUNG GALAXY S2. I COULD INCREASE MY INTERNAL MEMORY FROM 1.97 GB TO 3.94 GB. I REALLY WONDERED AND FEELING VERY HAPPY. AT FIRST IT DIDN’T WORK BUT I TRIED A LONG TIME. AT LAST I COULD DO IT. IN THE ODIN SOFTWARE I UNCHECKED THE F.RESET TIME AND AUTO REBOOT OPTIONS THEN IT WAS POSSIBLE. UNTIL THEN IT DIDN’T WORK
    ONCE AGAIN THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

    MAY YOUR TECHOTV LIVE LONG

  95. Hello,
    I succesfully increased memory upto 6GB following your instructions. When I check the memory, everything seems OK. However, S2 still is not able to use more than 2GB for applications. What could be the problem?

    Thanks,
    Ali

  96. thx dude. first try didnt work. my internal sd card cannot mount. storage setting nothing show anything. just showing device memory 6gb. so i flash manual sdcard from cwm. Now its work :) I have 6gb for device memory and internal sdcard 7gb sorry for my bad english

  97. Great guide! Followed all the steps – I needed to do a factory reset before the data re-allocation showed properly. Thank you!

  98. Hi, under PDA-when I browse for PhilZ-cwm6-XWLSZ-OJC-5.15.9.tar.md5, in the location folder, this file is not visible.. only 4gb and odin file is visible.
    Pls suggest.. I ve downloaded the CMM recovery file, but the same is not reflecting under PDA

  99. hey its a great post
    but i wanna ask if im available to hv 8gb internal storage through installing dat zip(4gb_6gb_8gb…) u asked to download in the CWM recovery mode?

  100. HI
    I have the exact same problem as Garima Bagga above, and when I search in directory and finally find the file I get following message in Odin: PhilZ-cwm6-XWLSZ-OJC-5.15.9.tar.md5 is invalid.

    How can it be invalid?

  101. Why the would anyone go thru the trouble to get a few more gb. Samsung should do it for us why do we have partition in the first place if we cant use but 2gb. So does anyone know if S3 allows you to use full device internal memory? ????

  102. hi, internal storage has increased, but, usb storage is not shown …also, unable to open gallery, it says not enough memory…please suggest

  103. hi.
    first of all thanks for the great tutorial.
    but there is a little prob ..
    my usb storage was 25 giga.. now it’s 7 giga only!. is there a way to get the rest of the memory back ?

  104. Samsung galaxy s2 i9100t
    jb stock 4.1.2
    dvls3 radio (csc)

    I tried this method, almost bricked my phone with philz recovery method. Then used my already backed up nandroid backup to restore phone.
    Tried again with siyah kernal and speedmod kernel.. phone asked to format the internal usb. formatted successfully, rebooted.. whooola… works 100% spent 6-7 hours though.. but victory came in the end.. no complaints… thank you….

  105. Hi , I am not able to download

    &
    https://techotv.com/wp-content/uploads/downloads/odin-1-85.zip

    The links say that page not found, can you please help with the zips.

  106. hi Saurabh. how long does it takes to do that? i have did everything it was mentioned in the begining, but now odin just shows Setupconnection and that’s it, nothing else is going on, it’s allready 10 minutes and nothing happened
    , please help.

  107. hi. followed instructions. odin could not find the p.d.a. file even though it is on my desktop. I have a 64 bit computer, will the file work on a 64 bit computer? thanks

  108. Hi Bro,

    I did as you suggested. after performing the PIT 4GB and PAD, it got stuck at Samsung Logo and even if I flash using the ROM from Sammobiles, it is stuck at Initializing setup and no progress. Please let me know what needs to be done

    Thanks, Sridhar

  109. Hi! I did everything from the instructions you have provided. After i did the hard reset i got the 6gb of device memory but the supposedly remaining 6gb of usb storage is gone. Please help me. I also flashed my rom and even changed it but nothing happens.

  110. Just dont mind my previous comment. i found a way to fix my problem. what i did is just enter recovery mode then select mounts and storage if im not mistaken then i selected mound sd card then plugged it to my pc. a non formatted partition will show alongside the sdcard0. format it and reboot. your usb storage will now be available.

  111. Sort of worked.

    I rooted my phone, applied the partition and then formatted the USB Storage. That didn’t work so I followed the advice and performed a factory reset, which bricked my phone. I then flashed a stock Samsung kernel and after yet another factory reset, my phone started working. It’s now un-rooted with stock firmware, completely wiped but the partition stuck.

    1. Where did you get the samsung kernel and how exactly did you do it… i want to go back to stock but still have the partition…

  112. I have repartitioned the internal storage and got the space. when my internal memory usage reaches 2GB then frequently my phone is getting restarted. In storage it does show 6GB but when the usage reaches 2GB the phone behaves abnormally. Has anyone faced this issue?

  113. Dear sir :
    I have followed your suggestion and I did it two months earlier. But my bro ‘s phone, it’s the same I9100 didn’t worked. I followed all the steps, and odin shows PASS! too,and then his phone broke down and couldn’t start again. It can just shows the opening titles. GT-I9100, and that’s it……I am messssss up now and need your helpppppp,
    hope to hear from you soon!!! Thanks!!!
    YU fish

  114. was the file downloaded broken? ?? I am afraid of the file called PhilZ-cwm6-XWLSZ-OJC-5.15.9.tar ,Is it the sourse???

  115. Hi Saurabh, I am tryin to do as per ur instructions ….pls be there to help me through your replies if in case I am stuck up

  116. Hi,

    I’ve did the same but the total memory is turned to 7+Gb but unfortunately the Device memory is at still capacity of 1.97 Gb.

    Would you please help me.

    Also if you have any link for Kitkat 4.4.2 please send me.

    Thanks

      1. Hi Saurabh
        Thanks for this, this is what I was looking for a lot of time, S2 is good in all aspects expect for this,
        But while downloading Philz CWM Recovery for Galaxy S2 i have got only PhilZ-cwm6-XWLSZ-OJC-5.15.9.tar.md5 which is displayed as application and not as a TAR or anyother format in which i can select that for PDA file should i rename this after downloading or what must i do ??
        Please help me

  117. This is just what I need, but I wish more tutorials like this would use Heimdall instead of Odin: Heimdall is open source and cross-platform, and under active development (bugfixes, stability) whereas Odin is closed, leaked from Samsung, not maintained or developed, and apparently unstable. Worst of all, Odin is Windows only, whereas the sort of person who roots and mods phones is quite likely to be a Linux user!

    Anyways, than you for your help; I’ll try to figure out how to translate this to Heimdall so I can “renovate” my S2 for use in 2015.

  118. Can i go back to the samsung stock firmware which is the JB 4.1.2 and still have the partition? If yes can you please tell me how? Please..

  119. hiii saurabh..
    philz recovery file showing error..
    that md5 hash is invalid..
    what should i do..??
    please send me the correct file to repartition the mobile

  120. Thank u very much…..i have succesfully increased my internal storage to 4 gb and also rooted my phone using cw recovery…::::

  121. Dear Saurabh,

    Thank you so much for this publication.
    I have now a brand new S2 with 4GB + 10 GB thanks to you whereas I was just about to replace it.
    I tried your solution several times and each time it looked like as if it didn’t work.

    In fact, what was missing was
    “the factory reset from phone settings (Setting > Backup and Reset > Factory reset)”. I was reluctant to do this because I feared to downgrade back to Android version 3 something, and I also thought that I had to start over the partitioning job after the factory reset operation.

    Finally, just formatting the “USB storage followed by the factory reset” resolved the whole problem without having to restart the partitioning operation.

    It’s almost magic…
    Just a question btw : Will a similar procedure (probably with other pit and image files) work for other Samsung phones with limited memory?

    Gratefully yours,

  122. yipeeeeeee…………..it works……………..Thank u very much…..i have succesfully increased my internal storage to 4 gb .

  123. I am giving up.
    – No yellow box in Odin when I connect the phone with usb after having put it in download mode. I still tried the rest of the procedure and…
    – Philz file is only detected after removing the exe extension! I thought I had to install the exe file so I did and got a lot of adware on my computer.
    – After pressing start I get a message that md5 hash is invalid (about philz).

  124. Thanks very much for this, thought I was going to have to get a new phone. I formatted the USB storage after a factory reset and it worked perfectly.

  125. Hi Saurabh
    When i press vol key down+home+pwr button, I see CUSTOM binary download as NO… When i open the ODIN tool, I dont see the square with any information but blank.
    Could you guide me through?

  126. Hi Saurabh,
    Thank you for posting this topic. I’m about to re-partition my s2 right now but I wanted to make sure that I can get my data back after I perform a nandbackup and after I perform the re-partition if I restore my nandbackup would all my data be back including apps, pictures, sms, contacts and all or not. I have a Dorimanx v8.43 kernal with a custom ROM aokp_i9100_jb-mr1_milestone running android 4.2.2 and a CWM v6.0.4.7. Can I perform this re-partitioning method on my phone. I also can dual boot so can I do the re-partitioning on the 2nd rom and leave the first ROM unharmed.

  127. Thanks Saurabh, everything worked fine, just following your instructions step by step!
    In my case, the factory reset was requested at the end, in order to see the actual new sizes of the “Device memory” and “USB memory”. Btw, not a big deal.

    For those using Windows7 to perform this procedure, I would like to report you that after you have put your smartphone in “Download mode” and connected it to your computer via USB cable, you may have to wait until Windows automatically detects, downloads and installs some drivers (usually through the Windows Update).
    In my case, until this step has not been completed, ODIN wasn’t detecting my phone, though it was connected and in “download mode”. As soon Windows have completed the drivers installation, I got eventually the “yellow box” in ODIN and I’ve performed the “resizing” operation successfully.

    Thanks again, bye!

  128. hi Saurabh , is there a similar software for the similar problem but for a an unsimilar model.. samsung galaxy note 1?
    Thanks in advance

  129. Thank you very much mate!

    Now i can use my phone like new, very good tutorial without problems
    Needs only to reset to factory settings and chup! done

  130. 1. Wld I have to reinstal the apps again after the formating?
    2. My device memory available is 215MB but USB storage availability is 3.15GB, Which pit GB should I use?

    Thanks.

  131. Can I know if the storage released same with original ROM ? or still storage under USB ( maybe with slow speed ? ) thanks.

  132. I have this same problem with my galaxy s2 HD LTE (SHV-E120K) please help me for this damn partition problem !!!!

  133. thanks a lot bro …..success in this process…..once again ,
    and i also got that unallocated problem but through factor setting it came ,,,,,,sooo thanks for your help

  134. Understand it is strictly for GT-I9100 model but does it work for GT-I9100G. Tried it but unsuccessful. Thought it would be good to check with you again. Thanks.

  135. Thanks a lot bro !!!! it actually works :-) though I have a 32 gb memory card still i could not install apps more than 2gb so it was a great disappointment , but now im able to install more than 2 gb apps thanks again :)

  136. Connect your phone to computer. You’ll see one of the rectangular boxes in ODIN turned yellow indicating that the program has detected your phone.

    I did so, and also the two next step , I hit the ‘start’ button and messages were seen in the message box but after that – nothing happened.
    why?

  137. Hi, is it necessary to use this Philz CWM Recovery file, when I have different CWM? I use CyanogenMod 12.1 with Android 5.1.1.

  138. I did as you described. I got the rectangular boxes in ODIN turne yellow etc, but when I hit the start button messegaes appeared in the message box – but after that nothing happend. No PASSED message appeared.
    WHY?

  139. Hi Saurabh, I just succesfully increased app memory to 4GB, but internal memory is not showing… I tried to do factory reset from setting and also from CWM, but still nothing… What should I do now?

  140. I partitioned the internal memory to 6Gb and it was working fine. Later on I realized, I need only 4Gb, tried to repartition again with ODIN. I have messed up the system and it is asking to “Enter password to use the encrypted storage device”. I cannot do anything as this screen is the only one appearing after booting up every time.

  141. Hey Saurabh,

    Great thing man.
    This post started 1.5 yrs yrs back.
    How and why did I not check this for so long. God knows ..
    But great thanks man .. Tried it end to end and finally I got everything in place and now I have a proper phone to use.
    You saved a lot of us the pain of buying a new phone. I never wanted to part away from my S2.

  142. Dear Saurabh,
    Thank you very very much for your posting! I am not a great IT-man, but It worked!!
    My internal memory was about full, so I could not install an update of Whatsapp, which would result in being cut off from Whatsapp (and I use it a lot).
    So I followed what you wrote (did not use the video, as you talk so quickly, my mother tongue is not English, Let alone Indian English; perhaps next time you could try to talk very slowly, have mercy on people like me ;-)
    I did need a factory reset, and it took me a lot of time to have all my settings back, but this had the advantage that some of the apps worked better than before), but now I have a comfortable 6 gb internal memory, and can install and update without worries! So thanks again!!! I will spread this to everyone who has the same problem.
    Regards, Jouke

  143. Hi, Thank You very very much for this!!
    It works for SGS2 Stock ROM JB I9100DXLS8.
    need to format & factory reset before storage capacity is changed.
    now, bye-bye “insufficient storage…”

  144. Hello, can you give me the oficiall stock pit to backup my i9100 in 2G internal..

  145. hi, thank you very much !!! nice tutorial, all simple, clear. I use 6 Gb PIT. Since today no problems with low space in internal storage.
    May I ask you, what ROM do you use in Samsung Galaxy S2. I use stock, but i think about NEAT ROM? Do you know it?

  146. Hi Saurabh,
    I am not able to download PhilZ-cwm6-XWLSZ-OJC-5.15.9.tar.md5 file.

  154. Saurabh

    I think we follow all your steps but unfortunately we lose our phones by losing USB storage, and we don’t know what to do. because we cannot use any thing like Camera, Gallery……

    WHAT IS THE SOLUTION MAN

  155. Hi

    Thanks for this – potentially very useful to keep a phone I like, but

    I tried all the steps but
    – the Philz file wouldn’t initialise, says wrong response
    – Odin found the Philz and pit files but on “Start”, shows “All threads completed, succeed 0/ failed 0” then it stops.

    Can you help, please?

  156. This worked ! I’m delighted to be able to keep my S2. Found it easier to download the Philz file via an android tablet, then followed the tutorial.

    Thanks again for this

  157. Just increased partition size to 6GB following your precise instructions.
    Had to factory reset. Also wiped cache & dalvik cache, then restored latest nandroid backup. Worked perfectly. Thanks.

  158. Hello, I would like to get back to the stock storage and wanted to download the file but the file does not exist anymore. Can you please update the link, please? Thank you.

  159. It seemed to work after a few attempts but now my phone will not start normally: it freezes at the Samsung and model type number display.
    Please help. Thank you!

  160. I have all it done but memory not increase my mobile is Samsung Galaxy SII gt-I9100 but my USB memory has been decrease now i want to reset all thing which i have done now tell me how can i do that???? Reply sooon please……

  161. Thanks!
    Worked like a charm. I had to factory reset the device after installation to see the increase, just as you said I may have to do. Now that old friend will be able to live for yet some time

  162. Well boy, you can not put instructions without important steps and then to update after lots of people crashes their phones.. Next time think twice, as this is violating..

  163. Hello !

    I have trouble with PhilZ.cwm6.XWLSZ.OJC.5.15.9 installer can’t install properly.

    I have win 10, when I start with installation and done all necessary when is finnshed
    it’s pop up temporary file 4M0 and open site at my browse this message

    The installer was interrupted before Application could be installed.
    You need to restart the installer to try again.

    Can you send me at my email properly installer or some advice.

    Best regards.

  164. It worked! Just wanted to post a reply in support of this thread. I am not a tech or a tech illiterate person. I can only list what my experience was in case it helps others or sways a decision to try this.

    1. My phone is a Samsung S2 GT-I9100 from T-mobile (that shows its age!). It’s probably 4-5 years old and the hardware is fine. As apps and their demands get bigger my phone was almost unable to function due to out of memory errors.

    2. I had already installed a Micro SD card and moved all apps that I could but the new memory space was soon filled with app updates until the memory error and slowness of all functions came back permanently. (ie: 30sec to open an app of the keyboard, or click on a link etc)

    3. My phone was NOT rooted and the bootloader was NOT unlocked. (I have read reference to these in other posts about increasing memory. And various people seem to have asked about these things in questions above).

    4. I Backed up my phone using Kies, but then uninstalled the Kies application as I have read reference to is causing connection errors when running Odin.

    5. Charge your phone fully (just to be safe).

    6. Follow the steps in the original post. You may have to wait for the drivers to install when connecting and again when re-installing Kies.

    7. The larger memory was NOT showing initially – follow the factory reset as instructed. This was all I needed for the new memory partition setup to be successful.

    8. Re-install Kies and restore your phone – I still had to sign in to accounts again. Configure settings and re-install apps manually. The phone did initially keep resetting during the heavy install of apps – but after a few attempts all apps were installed.

    9. The phone is now running better than it has in years. All thanks to this post.

  169. hi Saurabh
    i have started odin mode but 3 hrs passed already still showing downloading, how many hours need to complete this programe?

  170. I just wanted to say a big thank you for this guide. I increased my app size to 6 gigs, so so much better.

    For those who had issues with the USB storage going down. I had the same issue (I had 0 gigs) I just factory reset it and it works as suggested above.

  171. THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!! :-)

    It worked for me without any broblems, I just go step-by-step by your guide. For me, I needed to to FACTORY RESET after process, because normar restoring showed only 2GB + 8GB of internal storage.

    After factory reset I have 6+8 and it is working 100%.

    Great work man, thanks again

  172. Hi Saurabh,

    I tried using odin 1.85. the column for pda can put the files cwm in it but the pit column can not put the files either of the gb. So the odin cannot execute the re partition of the device memory.

    Please help.

  178. I have similar problem with my Samsung galaxy S 10.5 Tab which shows only 2GB internal memory and 500 gb device storage. Can you help in resolving ? The Tab is awfully slow even after factory reset.
