I'd like some assistance with formatting the internal storage of my phone. I've managed to unbrick it and to flash TWRP recovery but I can see that capacity of the internal storage is only 33 MB which is clearly wrong. Before I started doing all this it had GB of capacity not MB. So clearly I need to fix this. I tried to use Windows's disk manager but the manager isn't detecting the phone or the storage.
Can I have some guidance here ? It's Meizu 5 pro. Any helpful input much appreciated.
cat /proc/partitions
gives me:

ls -ld /dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/*
gives me "No such file or directory"
Note:
The phone hasn't got any OS running at the moment.
I managed to use ADB and fdisk to get a list of locations (fdisk /dev/block/sda
) in the phone. Then I pressed "p" for a print out.
I marked locations or partitions in question. Cache takes up all the storage whereas "userdata" gets only 38MB. In advanced mode where I get to make changes when I press "p" again I get different output. I don't understand this.
Update:
I modified the partition table to make it look like the way I need:
The problem I'm dealing with right now is that the phone doesn't want to mount the devices. Can't get it to mount system, cache, userdata. I made sure "userdata" is still vfat and cache is ext4. Order number of partitions have changed though. Does that matter ?
latest update:
Looks like I was right for once. When I ran mount -a
to mount all devices I got error because devices are assigned to different partition number.
