In CW recovery, when I do wipes i goto Mount and Storage then format / data, cache, system.
What happens if i select format / sdcard? will that erase my internal sd card?
Formatting an SD card will wipe it totally clean, so yes.
I've never used it but I suspect it's the same as formatting sd card from settings / storage. You would lose all your photos, media files and everything else on your internal SD card.

Plus phone will no longer boot .
Useful for a fresh install on a clean phone via download mode and Odin and stock rom .

Hi all,
I've accidentally formatted my galaxy s2 internal storage to NTFS file system ( I want to format the external sd .. )
Now my s2 ( with CM9 and Syah kernel ) of course can't see the internal storage....
There is a way to recover my internal storage ??
Thanks
Reformat the internal storage in your phone, or with PC format in FAT32, or in CWM select format internal storage.

After formatting the Internal Storage in fat 32 ? so there is no way to see the ntfs internal storage on my PC so to make a backup ?
So there is no way to mount the file system ntfs to see in windows and make a backup of files ?
As imagined CWM Recovery can't format the internal stoge... "Error to mount /sdcard"

Hi cvrkimi,
I bumbed over a site with some instructions similar to what you need, only they are for a Galaxy Nexus. You could try finding similar.
Here's the link http ://www.droidforums.net/forum/galaxy-nexus-development/209149-backup-sd-partition-using-dd.html
Cheers,
Stefan.
Had the same issue now back to normal..

I took like 6 hours to figure this out since i had the same problem but its very simple to solve. To solve this just use odin software and reinstall back to the orginal Android OS (in my case 4.03 that i installed). Follow the mentioned instruction below in the site that xda doesnt let me provide the link to. Look for this title in google How To Download And Install Official Android 4.0.3 ICS Update On Galaxy S II Right Now and follow it
and you'll be back to normal.
Doing this should reset everything, install the new OS and redo the file system format by converting the accidental NTFS - FAT32. phew
Hi,
Short question:
When I format "internal SD" (not the SD card) from CWM does this mean that all data ROM-wise was cleared? Or there are some other partitions that I can not access from CWM? Where I can read about this?

That is not really answer to my question but thank you anyway
It was the answer if you go to mounts and storage in recovery .

The internal memory has nothing to do with the rom

No idea what you mean in this context internal memory is internal storage .
The firmware is located in different partitions of the internal storage often called memory by some users .
The user wants to wipe these partitions of the current rom and its data .
Recovery mounts and storage format data cache system sd card and preload .

I meant "format internal sd" in recovery does not affect the Rom
(Google traduction is very bad lol)

There is no "format internal SD" in CWM.. However if you use the wipe data option it will not remove the rom you are using.. Just the data... Location where all your downloaded apps and settings are stored..
There is a format "/sdcard" option which will format your internal storage area.. Including everything on your internal sdcard.. Again will not delete your rom...

Yes here I was talking to / sdcard when I said "Internal SD Card" : D
For the OP
to wipe all data and the rom boot to recovery as i said and the method i have used for years on SGS .
Mounts and storage
Format cache system data preload and sd card .
Phone will now no longer boot no OS/Rom .
There is format internal sd card in recovery .
Running custom rom that needs rebuild so i just flashed Touch recovery .
formatted as above phone no longer boots no rom no OS empty .

Hey guys,
i recently had charging problems with my S3, so i gave to service center and had it repaired but they formatted the phone!
i had very much important videos and photos in my internal card (i dont have external sd card), now i am thinking of recovering it by using some recovery software but my S3 doesnt have any option to mount it as USB! only MTP and another one!
so how can i make it available my internal storage as a drive so that recovery software can recognize it?
formatted the phone >>>> means its gone .

cant it do it this way or use any recovery apps for android platform itself!?
is there any recovery software which recognizes mtp partion?
There are recovery apps on the market .

It's impossible till now to mount internal sdcard as ums. The 'sdcard' is in fact a folder of /data mounted virtually as a disk. So mtp is the only solution to have access to it.
The only way to mount it as ums would be to set /data/media as a separate partition, which is not possible with jelly bean, would break the dynamic space allocation for data.
And recovery tools need to have access at partition level to be able to run raw read instructions.
AFAIK internal card recovery from computer is not possible, perhaps you can try some android recovery apps, never tried them.
Hi,
I messed up with the Android software, i installed chainfire app from the Play store and tried running it, After it ran the phone rebooted and got stuck in Welcome screen, I did soft reset by pulling out the battery for 10 mins , but it didnt help.
Now the thing is i dont want to lose my sensitive data. P.s I can enter into CWM recovery mode and also my phone is rooted with Omega ROM 4.1.2. I can see the file structure of my internal SDcard through the install from Internal SDcard Menu, But when i go to the mounts and storage menu and mount the SDcard it says there is an error mounting SDcard, I want to take backup of my folders before preforming a hard reset
I tried fetching files through ADB Shell installed on my PC, But it didnt help , I can see all the folders including SDcard and SDcard1, but both folders are empty without any data, i am sure since i was not able to mount the SDcard it was displaying empty folder. But my question is im able to explore all the folders in my internal SD in recovery mode through the "Install from Internal SDcard menu"
Is there any way to recover the files ?....The only way i can think of is to transfer the Same ROM zip file to Ext SD Card and perform the installation of ROM from recovery mode and again my doubt is will it affect the data on my internal SD card
Is there any way to backup my files from SDcard to PC.

flashing the same rom.zip from ext sd card does not wipe internal data.

Ok.....My question is why i am not able to mount my Internal SD card in recovery mode and take a backup through ADB in PC.
Is it that CWM doesnt support mounting the Internal SD card...has anyone tried mounting the internal SD card in recovery mode.

when there is no data loss, why backing up via pc again? when you flash rom.zip through ext sd card, the system boots normally into OS. then you may backup the data to pc and perform hard reset as you wish.
