I just flashed resurrection remix 3.1.3 (full wipe). And I also wanted to format my internal and external SDs. But when I go to Settings / Storage, I get "Unfortunately, Settings has stopped". There is another way to format the internal storage?
From recovery, mount and storage, format emmc or format internal sdcard

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 .

i wanted to completely reset my SGS2, and formatted all partitions in siyah-recovery (dorimanx kernel): cache, data, system, internal storage (emmc). i just left external storage (my 32GB sd card ) untouched.
so normally, on the phone there shouldn't be any data any more, right?
but, then i flashed 4.1.2 and was wondering afterwards why all the data on the internal storage were still here (pics, whatsapp, and so on)
can anyone tell me why formatting "emmc" didn't work in recovery? (everything seemed fine when doing it: "formatting 'emmc' successfully"

Run NUKE script.It will wipe everything.Search here on XDA.
If I flash a rom suppose ultima rom( or any other rom) does my internal sd card get formatted?
No. Unless you use a script or format SD cards. Data is not your SD data.
Means???
To install a rom you format
Data
System
Cache
And dalvik cache
Then flash rom/gapps
This won't delete your SD cards.
If you format SD card it will format it. Formats are found in mounts and storage in custom recovery.
I have just installed LOS 14.1 on my GTi9100. Before I started the install I partitioned my SD card with a 5GB Fat32 partition and a 3GB partition with no file type which my previous rooted system required to extend internal memory.
When Lineage installed it repartitioned the SD card and now I have a card with 6MB Fat32 partition and a 29GB partition of unknown type which cannot be used for external storage. I removed the card and tried to repartition using Mini Partition Tools but I cannot resize or change the 29GB partition.
As I have no external storage I cant install your fix for addons file or anything else. I cant use it for camera image storage either.
In TWRP if I select re-partition it says I will lose all data and I don't know if I should do that?
Don't know if this still is relevant. But yes, almost every storage issue (for example not accessible, not visible) I had in my past only got fixed by a full wipe. I don't know all those tools existing out there for data recovery, but if you have a more or less recent backup it isn't that painful to wipe everything.
Is it safe to wipe the "Internal Storage" partition as well when flashing a custom ROM?
even when I have the files to be flashed on an external SD card? does wiping internal storage also wipe all files on the external SD card???
please I need your assistance!!!!!!!
