I want to have a cleared phone only with a CustomRom.
Can I format: (in Recovery --> mounts and storage)
/cache
/system
/data
/preload
/sdcard
without having problems later on?
I want to do it like this:
Flash stock, format everything (that there is no more data from the stock) --> flash Rom --> flash kernel.
Can I do this? Because I have found some stuff from Samsung Stock on the internSD.
Use *2767*3855#

From the dialer if custom rom does not have a dialer use recovery .

Have done this, but I still found some Samsung stuff on my internal SD -.-
(SMemo, and some other things)
You can just delete things from the Internal SD just like you would a normal SD card...
Download super wipe by mike in android revolution thread and flash it in recovery, nice and clean.
Thank you

When I flash with Odin it does not wipe any my files.?? I can install any rom with out no files being wiped! What causing this?

You're not doing a data/factory reset before you flash the ROM.
You mean files on your internal Sdcard? Odin doesn't do that. It resets you back to stock ROM.

back when I made some roms for the BH2 some were like that. It has to do with that is being flashed. technically your data partition does not need to be touched when using odin and it just does system kernel and recovery, there is more to it then that but odin basically acts sort of like an update.zip file if /data isnt getting written then you files will still be there.
Does data factory wipe internal files?

Be more specific. Are talking about your internal SD or other partitions like /data or /cache or /dbdatabase?
What specifically are you trying to wipe and why so that we can better help you fix this.
In some roms it says it will possibility of erasing internal SD. But In recovery and I do wipe date and cache and delvik and flash a new rom. The old files from the last rom still on my internal SD

Wiping data and cache and dalvik only clears out the previous ROM and removes your apps, it doesn't remove anything from your internal/external sd.
are you TRYING to remove stuff from internal/external?
I was able to completely wipe my internal storage in recovery mode on my sgs2, is there a way to do this on the sgs3? other than manually go to the folders and delete each one?
Please advice
Thanks
May i ask why, this could be potentially fatal for your phone (i assume you realise this)
When installing a new rom there are always folders and files left behind. Cwm was abke to do this before withouth harming our devices. Wondering why the option is not there like in the sgs 2 version of cwm

Performing a factory format using keypad
1. Key in *2767*3855#
2. Finally, SGS3 will be rebooted and factory format.
This will erase everything.. so plz make a backup before this

I think he is asking for a method to do something like old task 29 that really formats the internal memory on HTC devices...

CWM recovery is the same mounts and storage format what you want .
Standard recovery factory reset and wipe all data is the same .

the only option under mounts and storage is to wipe the external sd card no the internal as before.
Hi.
I'v installed new stock rom 4.0.4 XWLQ2 and speedmod rom K3-32. I'v also done the Wipe Data/factory reset and Wipe Dalvik-Cache in recovery mode with speedmod kernel, bevor flashing of the new stock rom.
Everything has run without problems and I could start the phone without problems. But wenn I use the file-browser I can see the old folders and files from all applications that I had on the old 4.0.3 stock rom and just 2GB from internal storage are free. In applications menu I have just the stock Android applications.
Why are the folders and files from old apps steel in the internal storage of the phone and can I delete those folders and files now, without deleting the system files from new 4.0.4 version?
Or should I maybe flash again the 4.0.4 and do something more in the recovery mode bevore flashing of 4.0.4?
Thanks
Format internal sd....this will erase everything on internal sd...so backup pics or anything else important.

Ya in settings or recovery...no need to flash and root again. Just save anything like pics or music...etc...before formatting. Formatting sd doesnt effect system files.

I'v formated in Settings of the phone (format USB storage). Is that the same like format in the recovery mode? And why should I do flash of ROM and root again, is it necessary? My phone is working now very good.
Thanks
Like I said there is no need to flash and root again.

Thanks mate, I saw know what you wrote in your last message...
Guys the other day I did a wipe data from original recovery and it deleted all the data in /sdcard, is it normal?
Yes. It's the same as factory reset.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
it's a strange. The Galaxy Note II doesn't erase the /sdcard. Why is there these differences?
Because you should use a custom recovery for this, it doesn't wipe your internal sd

Good response. Then The offical kernel format also /sdcard ? Instead custom recovery not format /sdcard ? Is it true?

When changing roms i always read the installation instructions found in the OP. Its always done via CMW and is along these general actions.
1 wipe user data
2 format system (mounts and storage)
3 wipe dalvik cache. (advanced)

I found the basic ROM installation procedure there. But one of my frnd on this site told me to wipe internal and external storage. Currently m using resurrection remix ROM latest version, and which is not allowing me to go in to setting-storage. Every time it says unfortunately storage has stopped. So need to know what are the other procedures

Go to CWM Recovery --> Mounts and Storage --> format /emmc (internal storage) and format /sdcard

Although you already have your answer, why would you want to format your internal and external storage? Absolutely no need for that if you're flashing something. Just saying.
