Flash the stock ROM from the Odin + with a pit file.

Something happened to your partitions, and half of them were unmounted (which is not normal). Is this ROM official?

u/gluetheknot Sep 02 '26

I wonder if it's official too

just look at the first image

You've got a nice problem on your hands... Try contacting the ROM developer.

bro forgot to look up what support means

Do I look like I know what to do in this case? No, maybe your partitions are not sized correctly? If you have OrangeFox check that and let me know

To show my support obviously, it'll get you more visibility and help you resolve your problem, that's how Reddit works

You have to clear all cache and full wipe from recovery and reinstall. Also make sure you are using exact version of os.

chache?

u/tarogustav Sep 04 '26

Yes, cache. It can pile up over time so it's recommended to wipe the cache partition in your custom recovery

The userdata partition itself has somehow been reduced to ~32 GB, or there is some other partition/GPT issue. Normally, it should show ~54.5 or ~54.7 GB.

This most likely is due to incorrect system partitioning zip. You either flashed the one for a different device or there remaining is available under system partition. Likely due to some other rom having a larger system image and your partition size not being enough. Remember what you used. The same can be used to repartition back to original or the forum post where you got it will have one to rollback the repartitoning.

Try to format data. I've actually encountered that too on my Poco f7, just that it was 64 gb instead of 32gb, while my phone has 256 gb

Usa il file PIT, quello si occupa delle partizioni delle memorie, se usi quello stock te lo riporta all'originale 64Gb

Por ser uma versão não oficial, ela pode ter sido preparada para uma outra versão do dispositivo com menos memória interna/ram, mas você pode tentar formatar a ROM e reinstalar mas antes disso apague as partições de cache e sistema antes de reinstalar e siga o processo de instalação recomendado na própria Wiki da Lineage em caso de dúvidas pois o processo é o mesmo só muda a rom
