I've asked a couple people in threads but after getting down to doing it I've come across various posts throughout XDA and other sites listing issues after /emmc format. One case was that the device bricks unless you can repatriation the internal card and another simply recommending not to.
I'd like to format internal to get rid of all the junk left over after multiple ROM flashes. I'm hesitent due to the aforementioned threads but also curious as to whether /emmc includes everything on the internal memory or if there is a secure partition allocated for things such as CWM. Does formatting /emmc not delete CWM itself? The plan is to put the next ROM on external SD, format /emmc, and immediately flash the new ROM on before booting. Is it correct that I all this can be accomplished within CWM and not require first going back to stock through ODIN?
Thanks!
No need to go back to stock. You can format emmc or sdcard through settings-storage. Or connect to PC then click on mount USB storage and delete from PC.

I'm pretty sure the former is a no-no on the Skyrocket, recall coming across that when I was first rooting a while back. The PC approach should be similar to CWM, thanks.
wheres my brain??,.. lol your right about the settings approach. thanks for the reminder
Why would they put it in there if it's a no no?

I don't see why people have all that buzz around cleaning(formatting) the "internal" sd card ...
Just mount USB storage in cwm and while the device is connected to the PC , delete everything from the PC and call it a day ... also you can even put any ROM you like to flash in the meanwhile

the brick problem was for aokp and cm9 roms, a dev bricked his phone using said procedure , since then they disabled that feature(pretty sure they did), it might b visable in the menu but it doesnt do anything.
if you are on stock rogers ics it should be fine (i cant see samsung releasing it as that is a major flaw, lots of returned phones), if u r on it try it, it should b safe, if it bricked it, tell rogers what happen and u will get another one.
custom rogers ics should also b safe, im on skyics 4.2f based on rogers ics, but im not willing to chance it, dont need to since i can use cwm or my pc to accomplish the same thing

Here's a preview build now that my source tree is mostly sorted out: http://www.mediafire.com/?1nhagihfoqqpkf3
To flash, you must first flash this recovery: http://www.mediafire.com/?2000k5y512spft4
Then boot into recovery, wipe data/cache, go to mounts and storage and format system, then flash the rom. Gapps are here: http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-ics-20120317-signed.zip . You'll probably have to mount system manually under mounts and storage before flashing gapps.
I've only tested this using gingerbread bootloaders, no idea if it works using froyo bootloaders. If you don't want to deal with the caveats of gb bootloaders, then well, fix it yourself.
what works:
radio (calls/sms/data)
touchscreen
audio
wifi
sensors
hw acceleration
software and hardware video decoding
data usage monitor (for wifi at least)
what doesn't work:
camera/camcorder
bluetooth
anything else is either broken or completely untested.

How long did it take you all to get off of the initial Samsung logo at start up to the cm9 boot animation after flashing? It has been roughly 10 minutes so far and it hasn't moved. My recovery is all screwed up with funny colors, but it's nice to know that others have encountered the weird recovery as well... was on Devestion before following the steps for flashing cm9.
I've been rooting phones, flashing roms, and even flashing others phones to different carriers for, 5-6 years now I'd say. So, I know what I'm doing. I recently started using Goo Manager to download things occasionally, and to say the least I'm screwed. Downloaded the latest twrp recovery and it automatically booted into recovery and flashed the image. Endpoint...hard bricked.
Just be careful with goo is all I'm saying. I never confirmed it to flash the download and it didn't even ask. As soon as it was done dl'ing it just did it. I knew instantly it was going to be problematic. Because it wasn't actually the twrp img for my skyrocket. I was downloading it to use on another phone and transfer to my computer. So, now I'm without a phone. Sucks..

I am not sure why someone that has been doing this for years would put anything on the phones memory that doesn't go with the phone for any reason. It seems like half, if not more, of the bricks that happen are because of the wrong thing trying to be installed on the phone. Knowing that, it seems like a good idea to NEVER put anything on the phone that doesn't go with the phone, if you plan on using it or not. I guess this is just another precautionary tale for others now because if you really are hard bricked then Jtag is your option. Assuming you have already tried download mode, Odin, etc...Anyone doing this as long as you would have already known to try that stuff first...right? Good luck.
I got into a similar problem with goo manager. Ended with hard brick. Will never use goo or rom manager. Odin and twrp or cmw are the way to go. And never, ever flash anything unless you know it's for your device. That was the problem with goo, it said it was but wasn't.

You know you can force a reboot of the phone during the download by holding the power key or pulling the battery, right? If you knew what the file was, why didn't you do that?
I've downloaded ROM files hundreds of times through GooManager and gapps files at least a few dozen on three different phones across two platforms (Rocket and Note II). I've also flashed recoveries through it more times than I can remember. It's never once caused a problem, downloaded the wrong file, or even soft-bricked me.
I thought you couldn't brick a phone by a botched recovery flash. Because it's only writing to the recovery partition and not the system. Just what I once read anyway.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using Tapatalk 2
I didn't know it was the wrong file until after it installed. It was supposed to be a gapps package that went with the Rom. I't didn't look right and I should have known better but I went with goo.
Just reinforces you should always know that what ever you flash make sure it's for your specific device.

This is exactly why I never use goo manager or ROM manager to flash any thing or download any thing to many times have I read about ppl bricking because of these apps.
Did the same thing to mine, except I was downloading a recovery for another phone. Wasn't going to flash it off course, but GOO did it automatically. Hard bricked my phone just like yours. If it is still under warranty take it to AT&T store. They'll replace it for free. Don't worry, they won't be able to flash it back to stock or get it to boot either.

I was planning on flashing to the latest version. How do I go about clearing the phone's internal memory at the same time? I've accumulated a lot of misc junk files and would like to clear it out. Do I just manually delete all folders? which folders aren't safe to delete?
Thanks
If you're gonna wipe and flash something newer, connect your phone to a pc and from there browse your files on your sd card...Collect your music, pictures and anything personal...All the rest will be discarded anyway when you'll flash a newer Rom...
My suggestion is that you flash the latest AT&T JB leak UCLL3 or if you're on Rogers ,Odin the latest official JB Rom from Rogers...Head to the dev section for all the required files and steps...

It's not correct that all will be discarded when you flash another Rom. You'll internal sdcard will not be touched. If you want to completely clean it you should format it after you get everything off you want.

I'm pretty sure I know how to format an SD card

There is an option in recovery for formatting the sd card [this is the int memory]. This is were all the misc junk files are. Before you flash your rom, format sd card, system, cache, data, delvik cache. Then mount usb copy the rom back to your phone and flash it.

You have no idea what you're doing and you're a brick waiting to happen. Do some reading and learning before you proceed with anything.

Bricks don't scare me. They make good paper weights I've been doing a LOT of reading and am learning a lot. The biggest hurdle is finding things on the forum.

Ahhh I see lol I seen no one else had posted so I figured I would tell my experience. This is wayyyy better than cwm by far at least for the blaze. Cwm seems to have problems flashing on our phone. I have tried many different versions from official to unofficial of cwm and all of them wouldn't correctly format the partitions.

TWRP and CWM are both custom recoveries that have the same functionality performed in unique ways. Each person has their own preference. Before today, I've never used anything except for CWM (with the exception of putting CM10 on my wife's blaze, it was some weird recovery I've never seen on any other device), but I'll be giving it a try.
Just about anything you can do in CWM can be done in TWRP. There are no "CWM ROMs", there are ROMs that are flashed using a custom recovery (such as CWM or TWRP).
---edit---
After re-reading, I think I might appear to come off as a ****, and if I do, I'm sorry. Not trying to, just helping to educate you
Android modding can be a lot to take in and it's better to squash bad or mistrue views early than to try to re-learn later. I know that part from experience.
Never hesitate to ask anything

Nah, you were cool in your response. Thanks so much. BTW, how can you set this up if you already have CWM in your system?

Just flash it just so you know any backup you have from cwm will be incompatible with twrp and vice versa

CM10. That part shouldn't matter, should it? At least it didn't matter what ROM I was using in CWM to mount USB storage while in recovery :/

The partitions interest me. Some ROMs it is emmc for internal and sdcard for external.
Others have internal SD listed as sdcard and external listed as external_SD.
anyways, I think twrp team implemented mtp mode as well as mass storage and you may have to install new drivers or try a different ROM.

i know CM10 has sdcard as internal and external_sd as the external. TWRP has emmc as internal and external_sd as the external, so they share the same external_sd mount points. however, neither internal nor external shows up on my PC when I mount USB storage. I normally use MTP mode in CM10, but mass storage works as well.
Inside TWRP, when mounting, nothing changes in Device Manager in windows. DM recognizes a device was plugged in, but there is nothing listed as a media or storage device
