Fix A LG G2 Memory Error

Many OEMs release different variations of their devices according to the location, available network connectivity and even storage capacity.  LG’s G2, which was released in 2013, had ten different variants, including two models with 16/32 GB of storage.

It is possible that, if you purchased a G2 with 32 GB of storage, a wrong firmware flash or other problem could result in it showing 16 GB instead of 32GB.  This could happen if you tried to install firmware for a 16GB instead of a 32GB model.  Don’t panic though, we have the solution for you in the tutorial below.Follow along.

Prepare your phone:

1. Make sure it is on stock firmware
2. Make sure it is rooted
3. Make sure USB debugging mode is enabled
4. Install LG USB drivers
5. Download and install Total Commander-File Manager here
6. Back up EFS data.

Download:

         LG_G2_Backup_EFS_Final.zip

         minimal_adb_fastboot_v1.1.3_setup.exe
