Hello,
i really tried to find answers around before asking.
I have tryed different roms on my i9100, cm7, cm9, rr, miui. Now i have a tonn of folders from apps that are not even installed on my phone. Now what i want is to get rid of all the trash in my phone, like leftovers from apps i installed with previous roms and make a clean install of cyanogenmod 9.1.
How do i do that?
I would really appreciate any help. Tutorials, links, everything you guys can give to help me out.
Thank you
full wipe, install cm9, erase internal sd card
I normally do the wipes in cwm and format usb storage.
do the following and nothing of the old files will be left.
reboot to recovery
wipe data
wipe cache
mount and storage
format cache
format system
format data
mount cache
mount system
mount data
flash the rom
wait for the installation
Flash a samsung stock rom, keyin the following code using phone keypad *2767*3855# . Is a master factory format code.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
Do this step by step :
1. to format internal and external mmc, connect your phone in mass storage mode and format each drive with windows format tool (right click on drive icon -> format)
2. to format flash memory go to recovery wipe data, wipe cache, wipe dalviq cache
3. Install rom

Dear Friends
After spending too much time searching and encountering many incorrect answers, I finally found a solution on my own and decided to let you guys know
It's really simple, It's not exactly a big crack but we were installing the ROM incorrectly.
Solution 1 : Just Install ROM using the internal memory don't use any other storage option like microSD Card or OTG. It worked for me.
Solution 2 by Pourush Sharan Bhargav
1. Wipe everything from twrp.
2. Download a stock rom of k6 power and flash it with a Qualcomm flash tool.
3. Go to settings check.......phone now will not be encrypted.
4. If it says to encrypt, do not do it.
5. Go to twrp and make changes to data and cache partition to ext4.
6. Wipe everyting again from twrp.
7. Flash your custom rom like RR and gapps.
8. Done, enjoy.....
All the best. Please give me Kudos if this tip is helpful to you.

if i'll wipe internal memory then how i'll install the rom..because it is in internal memory only.

That's not what i meant. Follow below steps
Remove the SD card as it might interfere with the process.
1. Reboot in TWRP
2. Do all the wipes (Data, System, Delvik, Cache Internal storage)
3. Then connect USB and copy ROM and Gapps in Internal Memory
4. Flash both.
Hope it works.
Okay.
Can you tell how to copy the files from pc to phone while in recovery mode?

2. Download a stock rom of k6 power and flash it with a Qualcomm flash tool.
3. Go to settings check.......phone now will not be encrypted.
4. If it says to encrypt, do not do it.
5. Go to twrp and make changes to data and cache partition to ext4.
6. Wipe everyting again from twrp.
7. Flash your custom rom like RR and gapps.

Hey,
recently many are facing the problem to suddenly receive the above error and aren't able to solve it by formatting data (well, it cannot be mounted).
Here are the steps that I suggest in case you find yourself in that situation (obviously all data including internal storage content will be gone afterwards, so make external backups of important stuff if you can before continuing)
- (re-)flash lastest twrp (currently 3.2.1.1) via fastboot
- boot to recovery
- wipe dalvik, cache, vendor, system, data
- format data (the one where you need to type "yes")
- reboot to recovery before flashing anything
- now flash your stuff
This helped a few people already, but please comment if it also does (or doesn't) for you!
Cheers and greetings,
Phil the Thrill
I had this problem, but not always just formatting helps. First time when I install LOS 15.1 I didn't format internal storage then LOS crypt my storage and TWRP couldn't mount it and I can't just format it, I have error when I try to format it in ext4 by default. Then I try to format it to another file system and select ext2. TWRP succesful format data and then I select again to format it to ext4 and install other rom. I don't know why first time TWRP couldn't format data.
I use google translate. Sorry if I have misspellings

I didn't just suggest to format anything...
The important thing is to reflash twrp via fastboot.
The point is that after doing this you might even be able at all again to format data...
If you follow the further steps I think you're good to go and don't need to change any file system.

Thats because maybe on a backup you select another storage that nota the internal storage....maybe you select otg storage ir something....put the selection on Internal storage....and it resolves

Hi, I had the same problem. (Redmi Note 4, Mido)
But after installing RedWolf (Build 27)
with adb/fastboot and everything works fine - without formating everything.
This maybe can help,
first i enter wipe menu on twrp and advanced wipe, mark data partition then repair or change file system, after that change file system, change to what ever except ext4 (i use ext2 one) then change again to ext 4. Done you get data partition back
*this method will wipe your data on that partition

Thank you very much.

Format data solved everything. But before format data, you better backup all your files. Because all of it will be erased like new.
Thank you.

Hey King,
I do not use a Redmi Note 8, yet I had the same problem with my Moto G5 Plus.
Until I read your post and now my phone works.
Thank you!
Hi, i have TWRP 3.6.0 installed on my mi 11 lite (courbet), and then it shows "unable to mount /data". I know, formatting helps, but what to do if i don't want to format it, only i want to update the rom?
Hi there, I got a Le Max 2 X829 in 4/64 version. I'm on AOSIP on Android Oreo right now, but i've already tried few other ROMs as well as the stock one. But there's the problem: despite the fact i've got 64GBs of storage, system, recovery and my computer tells me that there are only 16GBs of which 5.8 are being used by the system. What could be the reason?
go to setting => storage => large file cleanup
Heyyo, I've found coming from EUI ROM that the data partition sometimes needs a format.
Back up everything off of your phone to a PC or other storage solution and make sure you have a USB OTG with your ROM and gapps of choice or a PC with usb cable.
Next in TWRP please go to wipe > format data > yes. After that, reboot to recovery.
Next I'd also recommend wiping Dalvik, system and cache to ensure you're getting a proper clean start from EUI ROM and then reboot to recovery again.
Then flash ROM and gapps of choice and reboot to system and enjoy :good:

Just to be clear, I do mean format data and not data wipe. Data wipe does not reformat the data partition, it only empties the media folder.

Hi, I used multiple roms and almost all have a few issues mostly with VoLTE, although I love the ROMs and the Devs' work but I need to go back to stock for functionality purposes. Please provide reliable links for stock ROM zip files. Thank you.
Found it
Back up your data first
1. Follow this link select your device and download the ozip
https://realmeupdater.com/
2. Put the ozip in an external drive(Pen Drive or Micro SD)
3. Boot into twrp and format the phone then wipe Dalvik, Cache, System
4. Navigate to the ozip throught twrp and flash it
5. The data might get encrypted post a successful flash so Format data again then wipe Dalvik, Cache, System
6. Reboot into system and there you go.
