Ok. So here is what's going on. When I was rooted I accidently formatted my internal drive. Right now it says I have 0.00 program storage.. late last night I unrooted and phone is stock. Unfortunately I still have no space. Took it into a metropcs to trick them in replacing my phone. They want me to take it to a corporate store. I don't want to press my luck.

Possible to repartition my internal drive?

I'm sure you can partition it, i dont know what the partitions look on android though it might have more than one or two with various changes in settings, or if it keeps both usr and root accounts in the same partition, To be honest i have a very limited idea of what a proper android partition would look like. Though partitions on linux or any pc are relativly easy to do it might be a little hard for someone to explain it to you and i read some were on here the words "do not format/re partition the drive lolol" so if you know all the trouble of partitioning and you hear that youll automatically think it'll be a pain in the ass. but that's not always true.

it probably has to be formatted to ext4 im guessing
 
Now that I am on an actual computer I could be more clear.

So Ive tried using Samsungs 3e recovery and it didnt get me anywhere. but this error. "Cant mount /Dev/Block/mmcblk0p1" When I do a factory restore I get this error "Storage not prepared yet, Use UI Menu for reboot"

I just cant install anything mind you. No terminal, root explorer because of my insufficient space. Not even saving a contact ;(
 
Get in touch with k0nane or DRockstar over at the irc channel. It's the #indulge channel on fossnet
K0nane had helped someone with partitioning before, so he might be able to guide you through.
And DRockstar helped Silvist, ( maker of the Exodus rom) with a similar issue or some other " scary" problem. If anyone can help you quickly, it's them.
 
Appreciate the response. Im not one to ask a dev to hold my hands persay. But a point in the right direction would be choice! Wifey finds out I pooched my phone, call the coroner!
 
Yeah. You didn't seem like the hold my hand please type. Which is why I referred you to them. They'll guide you, like I said, but don't expect them to do it all for you. ;)
