I was told not to use on SP Flash tools either firmware + upgrade or full format + download options when flash Android OS.
Reasons :
1. Possible loss of IMEI
2. Or due to secure boot sign and DM verify one can have problems.
Typical of my luck I had bootloop issue which at the moment I think is due to me installing zram via magisk and also having swap on SD. When I manually cleared cache I went into bootloop.
So reinstalled but used "download only " option and installed and the phone boots up fine but missing 5gigs space on 16gig internal. Though I think phone runs better via this flash method or could be a fluke.
Is this normal ?
Previously 16gig was correctly detected but now shows 11.6 total memory and 11.2 available or something like that.
I had this issue once before when I flashed custom ROM using download only option on SP Flash tools but when using firmware upgrade option phone correct 16gig was detected.
Phone can read 128gig SD so storage overall not a problem. If even though my internal storage not correct detected and if hovatek can assure I will never have issues related to missing 5gig I will leave it be. Since I never store anything on internal storage.
Thank you for assistance
