I have a strange thing going on with the storage. I updated to Pie, wiped everything, but in the settings, under storage > other apps and system shows incorrect value.
I reset all from the settings but it didn't change anything. I reset from recovery (stock - wipe all) it still persists. What should I do?

Through MiFlash.
OMG. Do you mean flash_all_lock.bat, flash_all_lock.sh, flash_all_lock_crc.bat or flash_all_lock_crc.sh? Or sth else? I saw this one system_other.img when comparing to 9.6.4.0 but thought it should be fine.

I reflashed Pie with changed values in all the above files but I lost my SIM cards. So I flashed 9.6.4.0 Oreo again, just plain stock and leave it.

I was on the stock 9.6.4.0 and OTA update at this point has 2 stages. First one updates to 9.6.11.0 Oreo with November security update which messes up SIM cards, one slot isn't working at all and WiFi/LTE internet is super slow. The second one updates to Pie but SIM cards' problems persists. The only solution with skipping this troublemaker is updating via MiFlash, but in this case there's a storage bug, because of system_other.img. When I reflashed with corrected fastboot files I lost 2 SIM cards so I went back to Oreo.

This doesn't work for me, I get a bootloop whenever I flash modem.img only. And even when I get my SIM cards to work the slots are swapped. Tried that many times. I had to reprogram my IMEIs via QFIL. But I found a solution to the storage problem, which works for updating to Pie via MiFlash: just enter EDL mode (fastboot oem edl), unlock bootloader first and lock afterwards.
