Yup m8,
No you don't.

Yes it will back to Factory setting your phone
Your internal sd-card won't be erased. Just all of your apps will be deleted, the data of them won't.

Does selecting the "wipe data" via clockworkmod recovery also wipes my stored pictures and music or does it only wipe all the OS data?
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA Premium App
Nothing will wipe your stored pictures / music or SD card unless you partition your SD card.
Wiping factory settings is the ONLY one that would wipe your OS data.
If you want a full wipe.. wipe dalvik / factory / cache.
Wiping dalvik / cache won't do anything but if you're experiencing slowness, wipe those.. you dont really lose anything
If I pushed all my apps to system apps via adb(assuming that there is enough internal space) and I factory reseted it, will the apps still be there? and the system apps that i removed via titanm back up will not be there after the factory reset rite? srry if this is a noob qn. Any help would be appreciated!!
It wipes the data & cache partitions. The apps will all be there but any data/ accounts would have to be reentered.

Ok i just wanna check; that means if install a game like angry birds and play for a while and then push it to system apps via adb, after factory resetting the phone the app will still be there but the saved game data would be gone? factory resetting only wipes data and cache partitions? that means that non system apps in internal memory will be gone after factory resetting rite?? thx for time!!
Hi guys, I've been flashing my new Galaxy S3 lately and have started to migrate my music library onto my internal 32GB. It's a healthy 15GB of music.
I run SynergyROM r66, and would like to load up r71 fairly soon, bu would not like to lose my music, as it is a pain to resync for me.
How do I do so without it reformatting my internal memory? I'm sticking with Synergy so I don't think I need to do a "clean wipe" right?
Is it as simple as Wipe Cache/Wipe Dalvik, then Install from SD, then reboot? No factory reset?
Any help is appreciated, thank you.

data wipe/ factory reset from stock recovery formats internal memory. data/wipe factory reset from Cwm recovery only wipes system data and does not reformat internal sd, unless you manually do it thru mounts/storage menu in cwm...although you should be fine with just a cache wipe going to r71.

Cool, what about the Dalvik cache, what does that do?

The Dalvik virtual machine deals with your apps. Whenever changing apps it's a good idea to clear it's cache so you don't have cached data for a different version of an app - this could confuse the machine and lead to problems.
Perfect. thanks for the help guys.
Wiping through cwm recovery in recovery (not the app itself) will not wipe your media or pictures or downloaded files etc. Your Music will be intact, but something not mentioned here yet, do you have an external sd card? Always a good idea to put that important stuff on it,or at least copies of it to be safe, including titanium backups. Though cwm won't wipe your media, if something goes wrong and you have to do a stock recovery, you may forget that cwm is NO LONGER there, and accidentally wipe your media like I did once bricking my galaxy player 5.0!

Yea, I got it all backed up to one of the Hard Drives on my computer. This should go smoothly.
I'm sorry for this very basic question. I've tried to read some thread, but I haven't understood if wipe data (CWM 6.0.1.0) deletes also the internal sd (music, download and so on) or not.
Thanks for your attention.

In my experience..if you do full wipe/factory reset, it only reset or delete system file..

I've read (but the thread wasn't about GT plus) that CWM wipes only system files and leaves all the user files in the internal sd. On the contrary, stock recovery and android factory reset should wipe the internal sd too.

/data
Also called userdata, this partition contains the user data - and here that the contacts, messages, settings and applications that are installed by the user are saved. Erasing this partition is essentially performs the data recovery device to factory defaults, returning to the state it was in when the first restart, or after the installation of an official update or a custom ROM. When you run wipe data\factory reset is clear in practice this partition.
/sd card
This is not a partition on the internal flash of the device, but the SD card In terms of use, this is the storage space used to store media files, documents, etc ROM on it.
Delete this partition is completely safe, enough to have done before a backup of all data that affect on your computer. We must bear in mind that even different applications installed by the user save the data and settings on the SD card, and then delete this partition will make you lose all of these data.
If it is not directly selected "Format sd ", the internal memory will be deleted and the data such as photos, videos, backup, etc. will remain.
For cleaning system , enter Recovery Mode wipe data/factory reset , wipe cache partiton ,wipe dalvik cache,format /sdcard!
Hey,
I want to do a full wipe (incl internal storage). But do I loose my TWRP then?
Thanks!
Nope. But if you do a complete wipe you'll lose everything that's on the internal SD.
No, a full wipe is wiping system, data, cache, and dalvik cache. Your internal storage isn't touched unless you specifically wipe it as well.

But I want to wipe my internal storage because there's a lot of things I don't need.
I want to clean my device from folders my phone never uses.

Are you worried about losing a TWRP backup or the actual recovery? If you wipe internal storage you'll lose everything that's on it, including any TWRP backup. But, no matter what you wipe inrecovery you'll never erase TWRP.

And no system files will be deleted? So my phone works just fine?
Allright thanks for the answer!

Week of course system files will be deleted if you do a full wipe, because a full wipe entails wiping the system partition. Exactly what are you trying to do? Are you flashing a new ROM?
