If I wipe data (factory reset) in recovery, will it also wipe the internal sd card?

Well now you know for yourself eh!
In recovery it won't delete it. If you do a true factory reset from within the os though it will definitely do it. Happened to me already.
Recovery just formats the data and system partitions.
Do you have to wipe the sd card on the Nexus S when redoing ROM's ?? the ics ROMs I downloaded installed correctly but on reboot will just sit on google screen. So could this be because the "SD card" needs to be reformatted?? or did i not wipe everything??
Thanks!!

Thanks. I hope this works. I just returned my phone to stock 2.3.7, but my sd card went untouched. Too much garbage from before, so I wanted to clean that out and start new (before I go flashing a rom or anything else). I already saved what I wanted to my pc.
** Took a few minutes, but worked great. ALL clean **
Thanks again.
(this was like cashing out my 401k.. everyone advises against it, but no one says how it's done )
Like a few others said, if you go into recovery mode and wipe it you're good to go. All of your music, backups (from Astro), and whatever else will still be there . I accidentally forgot to backup while flashing a ROM once so I was panicking then I found all of my files still there. You cannot imagine the joy I had, nor my facial expression XD
hi,
i just rooted my mz601 3.2 and i want to install the ics everest.
can someone please let me know how i can wipe the xoom prior the ics flash?
i have cwm recovery installed .
many thanks!!
Boot into recovery you'll find a list of options there. It would also be a good idea to read "Xoom Heaven" posted in the general section first.
Your going to have to Wipe Data and factory Reset, Wipe Cache partition than scroll to advanced and Wipe the Dalvik Cache. After that go to Install zip from SD card.
thanks Guys,
i manage to install the Ics and everything is fine.
what cache / data do i need to wipe when i will flash an updated ics rom?
do i stiil need to wipe all of the above and loose my aps and data again?
thanks!!
I Personally like to do the full wipe thing, just as you did before. Because that's one less thing you don't have to consider when having problems.
Hi Guys,
Has anyone had this problem?
I had Creed's Rom v2.0 last month, and that worked perfect. I used it for a month.
this morning I decided to change my android rom into a new version of Creed's Rom.
I tried to boot and flash the Creed's Rom v3.0 and it's successfully flashed,,
But, whenever I try to boot my phone, I got stuck with the boot animation!!
It's never take me into the home screen??
It's keep showing me the bootanimation (Creed's Rom Text) for a long time ..,
So i decided to go back into SGFit default stock and successfully flashed it with ODIN..
When the device try to reboot, I get the same SAMSUNG bootanimation,,
it's keep rebooting the phone again and again (without any result),
And then I decide to flash the other rom., I tried "CyanogenMod 7.1",, I flashed it successfully, I do "Wipe Data / Reset" and "Wipe Cache Partition" also "Wipe Dalvik Cache" too, but whenever I try to reboot the phone, I've always got the freakin bootanimation and never take into the homescreen..
I also reformatted the memory card, still no result... :/
Any ideas please???

I had a similar problem yesterday. To me was advised to install via ODIN stock ROM (S5670XXKPI) which has 4 files. I did it, and the system is booted. Then I changed stosk and other custom ROM and everything works OK.

I installed S5670XXKPI. After I installed S5670KPU, S5670XWKT2, and work for me. S5670DXKT4 I don't installed. I don't know will it work for you. I think it should.
The first you install S5670XXKPI, after you installed and the system is booted, you later install what want.

OK. You're welcome.
If I was going to flash a custom rom ( yes I am unlocked and rooted and using twrp 2.3.3.0 ) If I boot to TWRP could I safely wipe (erase) all of emmc if I had my new custom rom on my microSD and flashed it right after the emmc wipe ??
I am concerned about it wiping ../data/media is that going to be ok to wipe ?
I just see a lot of JUNK on my emmc that I would like to just wipe, but dont know if it is safe.
Please advise.
Thank you

If you want to lose all your data, it is safe to wipe.
Xperia P lt22i
Rooted
Locked bootloader
I'm a noob and yes, I am retarded (You'll know why).
So, I've changed some stuff in my phone:
Status bar, boot and shutdown animation, themes, CWM recovery, xperia Z lockscreen, a custom feature for the camera, and so on.
I didn't do a backup for all those things (I didn't know how, and I still don't), I tought I could wipe data or factory reset my phone and all these thing would be gone and my phone would be totally "factory reseted".
The question is simple, how can I reset COMPLETELY my phone? Is there any method to do it?
(sorry for my english)

it might me a hassle to find your stock rom, so i would reccommend installing a custom rom. There much better.
Check out your phones dev forum here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1729
Download a rom that you like (read some comments and see if its good), and place it on your sd card
To install a rom you must do a full wipe. To do this boot into recovery and choose: wipe data/factory reset , wipe cache partition, then go to advanced and wipe dalvik cache.
Then choose install zip from sd card, and find the rom you downloaded and install it.

Yes, i also think that it's the way...with one thing to do also , to format /system in /mount and storage.
Thanks, I fixed it.
Glad you did, mate!:laugh:
