Default [Q] So, we have S-OFF. When do we get our 4GB storage?

We should be able to completely analyze the EMMC now and get our full 4GB storage back, right? What's stopping us?

My guess is whats stopping you is the dependancy on people who know what they are doing. What is stopping them is their own personal interests. 1.whatever GB is way more than enough storage than most need so i would say....

1. Further exploration for understanding of this device
2. Stable easy to install recovery w/o buggies
3. ROM'S

Root just happened ,those of us that are in need of these very generouse and intelligent people should just be patient and see what goodies they have in store when they get around to it ;)

I'm entirely patient to HAVE it, but it would be good to have a least a brief confirmation that the 4GB storage is actually there and will ultimately be accessible.

I wonder this because I'm thinking about the possibility of eventually putting MeeGo in the G2. No reason not to; it's got all the speed and RAM necessary. I think it would come down to a question of internal storage.

Not to bust the OP's chops or anything, its actually 3.7 GB.... and im guessing you can account for atleast 700 MB for ROM and recovery stuff....

So USER accessible should be around 2.9 GB? Correct me If i'm wrong....

negative. on stock rom after data reset, i only started with 1.9Gigs. everytime. thats is a far cry from the 4GB advertixed. plus i dont think recovery images are that large.

can you access the emmc chip thru root explorer after S-off perm#?

i believe someone was saying that this is just a bug in the hardware, reporting the wrong size - unrelated to S-ON.
