I rooted my phone once and then unrooted it but i got my internal showing memory full. When i gotta check my storage details it shows total capacity 0.0 and used 0.0. I cannot store anything to my sd card too but it is accessable from file explorer but internal consists empty folders .gallery is not showing thumbnails of pictures and videos. Music player crashing in middle of playing smth. I cannot play music directly choosing but it does work when i next. I cleared cache and data so many times downloaded card recovery and sdscan apps rebooted so many times still doesnt works. Help me!
 
Sounds like it could be internal storage layout and/or firmware got damaged or corrupted when you were rooting and unrooting it. How and if you can restore and re-flash it, all depends on whatever it is you've got there, make, model, if it's a carrier version?

I got no idea about smth like this.  I had simply rooted it for security test from kingo root but it appeared as a crap at the end. Would it work when i get to reflash or should i recover it? Thank you for the response!

Some people not happy until they screw up they're devices by rooting them. But I hope this device wasn't your primary source on mobile communication because if there isn't a ROM available you just may be stuck with that issue.

If the root method altered partition parameters or modified the the system partition, a reset won't fix it, most likely, although it's probably the easiest thing to try first. To fix it, you'll need to reflash the factory firmware, if it's available. Let us know what phone, model, android version and carrier and we might be able to find something for you.

I've looked through several websites and found a few that say they are the stock Lenovo Vibeshot firmware. I really can't vouch for any of them as I have no experience with Lenovo firmware, but this one seems to have a good set of instructions.
