Yea the rest of the 6gb does go to the system itself. Just like on the 16gb version which most have there's around 11gb available even before installing a rom

fantastic, thank you so much, I gave you as many thanks I was allowed (only 8 per day lol). Anyway, last question, do you recommend re-installing apps and data with Titanium?
Ask as many questions as you want, there's no limit. Just apps. Data tends to cause issues with a lot of people, some people report no issues but there's more it seems that cause issues

got it, will try it with no data. I think I found out with I have no access to the sdcard0 folder, I just installed Titanium and it says that I don't have root privileges which is pathetic since you must have root access to install a ROM.
Is this something that happens too all th time and if yes, how do I get the root access back?
thanks a bunch
That's really odd... I've never seen that happen before. Honestly I don't know but I can look to see if there is a solution
Edit: found a solution, now let's see if it works. What root browser are you using? People have had luck with jrummys root browser on the play store. Make sure to grant it super user permissions

Yes, I installed Root checker basic and it tells that the device does not have proper root access. What the hell? nothing goes smoothly, ever lol
Weird. What recovery do you have again? Id try maybe reinstalling supersu if you use that? I can give you a link to the zip file
No worries, I've had similar issues before with certain roms

clockworkmod 6.0.4.5, I think this is the latest.
re-installation of SuperSu fails wtf
Here's the zip file, see if it works

Try flashing it. Sometimes in android 4.4 it seems to work better if you flash it through recovery

No problem. I don't know early anymore as I work overnights

Go to Settings/About Phone/Build Number and tap until it unlocks Developer Options. Now, go into Developer options and enable Root access for "Apps and ADB." Ever since SuperUser was included in Settings, now this is the way to enable root on AOSP.
Or you could flash SuperSU in recovery when you flash the AOSP rom. I prefer to do this in addition to the above steps because I noticed some fickle behavior with certain root apps when I just use the built-in SU.
Thanks for the help slim. I knew about flashing supersu but I've never had many issues with root beyond flashing supersu in recovery. That fixed it each time for me at least

Always here to help my friend. When I started having issues with Titanium Backup uninstalling system apps, I found out that flashing SuperSU was my solution. Been mostly smooth sailing for the last several months.
Yea, trial and error for sure man. Didn't you switch to a new phone?

thank you gentlemen, this morning I flashed the SuperSu and it worked. Got my root access back and I was able to finish everything.
On top of that, I also used Titanium to restore some of the apps with data and everything went smoothly.
The only thing that I did differently was NOT to restore sms/mms (did not really care about having them) and I used a backup of my contacts as an vcf data file that exported before i wiped and flashed a new ROM.
So the phone works like a champ now, it had been restarting for a month without a cause.

2Generally, you have to run the verizon OTA upgrades in order. This means you need to run 4.1.2, then the others before you can get to 4.4. Running the OTA upgrade should preserve your apps along the way. However, note that anything after 4.1.2 (aka MF1) will lock the bootloader, which will prevent you from running any custom ROMs and kernels in the future. Also note that there have been reports of battery life issues with the Verizon version of KitKat... take that with a grain of salt, but be aware of it.
For what it's worth, I'm still running 4.1.2 unlocked and rooted... there are no TW KK ROMs available yet for this phone, but you can run AOSP or other KK versions.2

I would try to yes. I looked at mine and sdcard0 and emulated are exact copies of each other at least on mine they are. I'd be very careful deleting files...
