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.

for an example,
megatron rom requires format of ext partition on SD card.
is it really necessary?
from my understanding you are formatting for A2SD capability.
if I don;'t plan on using SD card as APP space, can I just skip the format step?
thx
Few Questions Rearding Micros SD
So That New Rom can b loaded. i think so
It is not necessary to format and partition your sd card just because a rom has a2sd
capabilities.
If you don't format sd card, a2sd will not be activated.
However, if you want to use a2sd, you will have to format & partition sd card as per instructions.
I have installed various roms (which instructs to format & partition sd card, since they have got a2sd in them) without partitioning my sd card, and have had no problems with them ... *touchwood*...so far
thanks,
I will keep it unformatted then.
Hi I was wondering if someone could help me, I was trying to do a full wipe of my phone and returning everything to stock i.e wipe everything then flash stock rom.
Firstly I wipe data/factory resest
wipe cache partition
Then I went into mounts and format system, data, cache, sd card but when I try to format emmc it says error mounting /emmc!
When I try mounting emmc it says again Error mounting /emmc!
I'm an idiot but can someone tell me what the emmc is and why the hell it's not mounting?
Is it not the internal memory, if so shouldn't it be mounted?
Thanks
It does not need formatting whatever it is . System data and sd card is plenty .

Well this is confusing, sd card in my mind was an ACTUAL sd card, and emmc is apparentley internal memory.
I inserted a micro sd card, and formatting emmc formats the micro sd card.
Why does sd card in the options refer to the internal memory?!

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
You will have to ask the developer .
Einstein i believe had something to say about emmc .

there's something wrong with it, some files i can't delete, any way to format?
Try formatting it through a computer.
OR
If you do a factory reset from stock recovery, it will format the SD card also.
But then you have to setup all the things again
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.

Useful for a fresh install on a clean phone via download mode and Odin and stock rom .

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!!!!!!!
