Tablet Internal Storage Problem...

[ChrizT]

Hello,
I'm new in Android Tablets and i need you help for 2 critical issues of my tablet...

Recently i bought a 10" tablet with an Allwinner A10 processor and in try with a app (zroot something...) to root my storage to install some apps... In the first restart of the tablet, it shrink my primary internal storage to 26.41mb (the size of the pre-install apps)!!
Like this image:

I try to reset to factory settings, to reset, but always crash in start like it needs more space...
Now at this time, i can't do anything! I can't install either 1kb application!

Any idea to fix this problem?

Also, in this tablet i can't install Google Play. Any idea (if of-course i solve the 1st) to install it?...

Thanks in advance!

The link to the tablet you purchased was removed as it led to the seller's website. Posting such links in the future will lead to warnings from the moderator team, so please be careful regarding your links.

Now that I've gotten the moderator business out of the way, the one-click root tool you used mangled your internal partitions. Unless the company that made the tablet provides a firmware image for download, it's not likely that you'll be able to restore the tablet and will need to exchange it. However, it's possible that one of our developers can come up with a possible fix for your issue.

Thank you Traveller! (and sorry for the external link)

If needed to sent some detailed informations for the model let me know, 'cause as a no-branded tablet i'm not believe i can find any firmware image...

I hope anyone developer can find a solution to not send it back and receive it after a month+...

Just from the picture, I would guess /data isn't mounted, zroot shouldn't be used, no root tool should be used that messes with sdcard or modifying mount points.

Try to boot into recovery and factory reset.
Post your df results.

adb shell
busybox df -h

My guess data isn't mounted on correct partition you would need to format your data partition.

You are pretty much on your own.

I try a lot of times to restore, but always take this image:



Also i try to wipe data & cache....



...but nothing happend...
And i don't have any file to try to restore from external storage.

adb shell
busybox df -h

About the above code... sorry, but is "Chinese" for me... I'm not a developer, i'm just a user and i don't understand what exactly means...

 

[Traveller]

Wiping data and factory resets will not help you here, because they only clear the contents of the partitions, not re-size them. The code he is asking you to run would tell him about the partitions in the device. If you're not familiar with ADB (Android Debug Bridge), you should take the time to become familiar with it as most rooting methods require ADB to work.

I supposed will be more easy to restore (maybe with external file based on model/kernel/baseband/whatever) without need to read and learn some code for hours... and in final to not working... :/
I don't know... maybe finally will be better to send it back to see it someone more expert and experienced from me...

Yes send it back, next time don't use zroot.

Yes send it back, next time don't use zroot.

Ofcourse, never and ever!
We learn (i think) from our mistakes...

now i have a problem in my device that the memory of installing apps and ram etc was as it is but rest internal memory which was before used for storage purpose is now become 0 bytes even i can't able to mount that storage by connecting my tab with computer.. in my computer it says please insert disk...
