I had some questions on ODIN if someone could enlighten me.
When I select re-partition... what is it really re-partitioning? Is it just the data or is it supposed to repartition the whole internal sd... cuz mine does not seem to repartition the internal sd.
If that does only the data... how would you re-partition the internal sd?

I do know it wipes the area where you files system is stored. So if you have all kinds of lag fixes like oclf and voodoo and your also flashing roms like crazy. Its good to check re-partition so it completly wipes anything you may have done in the file system area.
Fear the beard...

Repartition should reformat your internal sd card... And it should put you back to [rfs] if you are, let's say, coming from vooodoo [ext4]. However, you do NOT need to have your SD card in when using ODIN, I NEVER have it in as I don't want my sd card to get wiped.
If you want to WIPE/FORMAT your sd card you can simply mount your phone to your computer and delete your phone's internal sd card folder

By internal sd I mean the unremovable 16 gb. Not the removable sd card.
I’ve tried re-partition but it does not usually wipe anything on the internal sd... is it supposed to?

Re-partition should only wipe out the internal data not the regular storage. Internal SD 16GB, and external SD will remane untouched.

so this means it will be safe to repartition even if i have my titanium backup on my internal sd right?

today i noticed on my sd card and phoen storage settings thing
that my sd card hasn't used a single MB but my Phone Storage with 12.77 GB currently has 1.25GB left?
How is that possible? i'm sure i dont have 10GB worth of things in here, to make sure i went on my computer, connected USB and saw that none of my files were bigger than 300MB
Why is this and how can i fix it?
Also if i press Format SD Card, what will happen?
please help me out here guys!
NVM i formatted it and all my crap on the thing is gone, now it feels like starting over, AHH good.
That's maaad weird.
But if you plugged into USB storage mode and if you see that's showing the right storage size properties, then that must be bug of the rom you're using.
Edit: You should have made a backup, before. Althought maybe it wouldn't have worked

Probably because the rom. I imagine it's reading the external_sd folder space and lumping it with the internal since that folder is in the sdcard tree: sdcard/external_sd where it used to be the external was "sd"... Just a guess.
No I formatted on purpose I saved music files before doing it.
Somehow it feels way snappier!

DO NOT FORMAT IT, after i did, i experienced SO MANY ISSUES because on my internal i had a bunch of things that apps depended on.
If you don't mind ODIN and going to JFD then do it.
Do this if your going to ODIN, its worth it.
Settings > SD Card and Phone Storage > Format (forgot which one) then you'll get all the space back then ODIN back to STOCK then it'll put all the files you need back on there, and you'll be good.
DONT just delete it and think your all good,
in your internal theres the update.zip which made me pull my pubic hair out (literally)
IF you dont want to do it, which i don't recommend, just go to settings > sd CARD AND PHOEN STORAGE > and click format on SD CARD or PHONE STORAGE and click confirm, and it'll be done.
hey all,
i was about to wipe and flash a new rom but accidentally clicked the partition sd in cwm. i think the size of the partition was 128mb...
i flashed the rom anyways and its like nothing happened. i plugged the phone into the pc and only shows the internal memory and my external sd card.
any1 had experienced this b4?
a little worried so need some input from others.
cheers
By internal u mean the 11.50gb partition and by external you mean ur memory card? Ofcourse you can only see those two.. You can see the 1.9gb partition of your phone because it is where the application gets installed and it is not used as storage for media etc(if you know what i mean)..
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
from what i understand, the cwm 5.0 function "partition sd" means the 1.9gb partition. i think i partitioned that portion of the fone. anyway to reverse that? would a restore of backup clear that 128mb partition i made?
No, partition SD is the external one (micro sd)

I receintly have been getting not enough space. I have a 16 gig card. I knew it wasnt full. So i looked into it and some how its basically saying i have 2 sd cards in. 1 named sd card, the other is EMMC. The SD card is very low on space. but the emmc is barely touched. i dont know how the card got repartitioned but im willing to wipe out my entire sd card in order to delete the partition so i have 1 big drive again. I have been searching this on the forums for about 2 hours now with no luck on how to just delete the partition. even tryed looking through cwm and the phone settings. right now im currently running cm7 ICS
try this: http://www.partitionwizard.com/download.html
Emmc is the internal storage. At least that's what it's referred to as in roms like cm7

Ill have to take a ss and post it cuz its crazy. i dont understand how I have an sd card, internal sd, and emmc with a single sd :-/
I guess if i could just figure out a way to just point the phones default save posistion to the emmc drive i would be ok also
That's the way it's supposed to be. Sd card is your sd card, internal storage is the partition on your internal sd card. for apps and emmc is your internal sd card.
You cannot delete the internal storage partition because that's where your apps reside. Emmc is just like your external sd but internal.

I'm selling my Amaze, keeping external memory.
Where is the location for custom recovery - is it on internal or external card, or somewhere else - in the phone?
I want to wipe the internal memory, keeping temp external card, reboot into recover and install custom rom from external memory, then reboot and remove internal memory.
Will the above procedure work ?
your internal memory is basically an internal sd card, so formatting that will not affect your recovery or system etc. there's a partition set for system files. Your procedure will work, just flash a rom and format the internal sd before or after, it won't matter.

Thanks, wasn't entirely sure, as I'm about to do all of this in front of the buyer. I guess formatting internal SD card from recovery is the safest way, as I read doing it via PC renders the card useless.
Thanks mate!

U mean the internal memory? U won't need to format it m8, just delete what's on it and just flash over whats left.
No need for a format, there probably is a section in there to format it though.

It is not necessary to format internal sd card to prepare for one new flash?
Sorry I need to format internal sd card before flash new rom.
How can I do?
Simply do this from your PC just right click and choose format.

Ok but why in others post the people speak about using terminal emulator or dialer code to format sd card?
Usually with rom i used cwm to format but by sgs3 this is not possible or i wrong
It is very safe and will keep your system clear. I tried. No problem

In some versions of CWM, the internal sdcard and external SD (emmc) are flip-flopped. In order to format the internal SD of my galaxy s2 using CWM, I had to choose the option to format emmc. If I chose sdcard (which should represent internal SD), it would have formatted my external micro USB. If you have an external SD, just remove it before trying this procedure so you don't wipe the wrong thing (I have made that mistake).
