Hye everyone, my name is toby and I have a question..
Long a go after I bought sgs2 I try to remember, I think I've formatted this phone once using my laptop via usb. I plugged the phone, right click on my computer and format, I think it was NTFS file system. do you guys think this will have impact on the phone performance r/w or ROM? or will the sd partition won't work at all?
I'm asking this because I have installed ROM's and It lag and crashed a few times.. I think maybe this two connected.
Thank you..
p/s:f5,f5,f5,f5 waiting for some rom to update.
Yes the two are likely to be connected. If you formatted your sdcard as ntfs then I would presume that it is using the ntfs support in the Linux kernel to access it. However, NTFS is not a light fs, it is intended for heavy duty file work, and definately not suited for mobile devices. I'm not surprised it's causing your phone to lag.
I suggest you enter your phone's recovery mode and reformat your /sdcard partition, and if you have CWM just to be sure, do a full factory wipe, and format ALL partitions in the advanced section.
So...

So... everytime I wipe cache partition in cwm recovery mode, it reformat my /sdcard? so, I have nothing to worry right, because I always do the 4 steps of cleaning before installing, sorry, flashing new rom.
No. Wiping the cache does exactly that, wipes the cache. If you do wipe the cache, you'll find the first boot after you do it will take a bit longer than normal while the cache is rebuilt.
If you want to format your /sdcard, you need to go into mounts & storage in CWM.

Wipe Data means all your user data will be deleted, so the /data partition will be wiped.
Wipe Dalvik cache is wiping the dalvik cache
Okay in the dalvik cache is saved, where the program data is located. You can compare it to the MFT (Master File Table) in Windows
Mount system is if you have unmounted system first, to mount it again. Don't know when/why you should unmount system first. Maybe during an installation on sdcard and you don't wanna damage /system? Don't know...
If something is wrong please correct me

Just ask, here are many members who like to help you
All those things are recommended to do when you install a custom Rom. Or when your phone is not working well. Otherwise its not necessary doing that
Why you want to start a thread about this? Just google it friend. You'll understand more!

Dude, when you formatted System, you removed the Android OS as well.. I suggest you flash a Stock FTF from here, then maybe install a custom rom of your choice if you like.. Wiping data and cache is equivalent to a Factory Reset. Wiping system is like deleting the C: partition from your Windows pc. You lose the os
If you need instructions on how to flash ftf, let me know

Why did u wiped data??? Cache and dalvik cache wiping is okay bt data??
As my friend miner said
U need to flash the ftf file via flashtool
Check the developer section for ftf
And Google for flashtool
Unless you have a rom zip on your sd, if you do flash it you donut

Just a bit of downloading

Download any ROM for your device.
Reboot in CWM (CWM is still there).
Under mounts and storage, mount the external SD card.
Plug into PC
Load the ROM onto the SD card.
Unplug, install the ROM.

Might not work as most roms here work under assumtion that you run a Stock ROM first. Hence, lib folder isnt included. On a wiped system, it might not work
Hello,
I have installed this rom cm-11-20140311-UNOFFICIAL-kumquat on my Xperia U, everything is ok but I have a strange problem.
I tried to delete all data from the internal storage but it doesn't work. It looks like is working but then after reboot all my image and my contacts are still there. I just want a clean install. Anyone can help me? I also tried to format sdcard0 through recovery but it says that "can't format sdcard0". Have I missed something?
Thank you
Wipe everything during flash, easy

No need to wipe sdcard (that's where the pics etc are)
Contacts are in /data
Use wipe data/factory reset option in recovery.
All app data will be lost. Restored to factory state. (Installed rom will remain)

Hi!
- I have LG G2 mini D620r with stock 5.0.2 Android. Phone has unlocked bootloader, is rooted and TWRP 3.0.2 recovery is flashed.
Few days ago I installed CM13 just to try it and then returned to stock OS. Before flashing custom ROM i used to wipe dalvik, system, data and cache partitions. Now my question is what would happen if I add interal memory partition to list of 4 aforementioned partitions? I know that it would delete all the data in internal memory (and that's what I want to do, because I want my phone to be like it was before it was used for the first time), but would it be able to boot up to OS? I don't won't to flash a kdz file or something like that.
- Also, I can't seem to enter recovery through button combination. I tried all combinations I could find on the internet. When holding volume down + power button for a few seconds i gat an option to hard reset the phone. Only way to get into TWRP is to use QuickBoot app. Anyone having any ideas what could I do?
Triggering a hard reset with a custom recovery installed boots into that recovery.
Wiping internal memory will wipe everything under /sdcard. Not the external one. The built-in one.
To do a complete factory reset, in recovery choose /data and format it as ext4. Don't simply wipe it, or it will leave everything under /sdcard there, while a format will delete them.

Well you just keep on helping!
Thanks.
Just to be clear these are the steps:
TWRP> Wipe> Advanced Wipe> select partitions: Dalvik, Data, Internal Storage, Cache, System
After that I go to:
TWRP> Wipe> Format Data> type yes
Is that correct procedure?
After all this has been done will my phone boot up to stock Android 5.0.2 or would I have to flash some kdz or custom ROM?
Where can I find option to format /data partition as ext4?
1. Yes your steps are correct.
2. Your phone will not boot up to Android because you don't have ANYTHING on your phone. You just wiped the rom that was running on it. There are a few threads that have flashable stock Android that you can use. Worst case scenario you can always flash kdz. HERE under Custom Rom>lollipop you will see links to [stock] zips.
3. Pretty sure formatting data will format it by default to ext4.
