Yes, but do all the necesary whipes, including going to mounts and storadge and format system and sdcard case you go from a system to another (so backup all your photos, apps on your computer)

Ok, thank you, I'll just wipe anything I can in recovery

Are you asking how to get CM10 working correctly? Or just how to get your TF101 working fine again? If the former, I can't really help you there, and that's just going to be difficult because CM10 is still in development, so there could be a host of problems. If you just want to get it working again, I would suggest finding a different (preferably STABLE) ROM and flashing it onto your device. That should work.
Also, if you're flashing a completely different ROM onto your device (not an upgrade or root, or whatever else,) I would go by the general rule of ALWAYS wipe your system, dalvik cache, normal cache, and if you're flashing files from an SD card, be sure to wipe your internal memory too. This will ensure that none of your previous files conflict with the new ones.
This happened to me when i ran one of the JB roms and then tried to nandroid back to revolver. By default the mounting for /data/media/ which is the internal memory is supposed to be at /sdcard/, but for some reason it got switched to /storage/sdcard0/. Nandroiding back to Revolver didn't help as the change was to something before the rom, so even twrp was acting funny because the mountings were present there also.
After some confusion i flashed superwipe lite and all was well. I ran lite since its supposed to leave /data/media/ alone, while reparitioning the rest of the system, so i thought that at some point its got to change the mountings back to the way it was supposed to be in HC and ICS.
Now if i could only remember where those mountings were originally saved i can just go in there and edit the file directly if this happens again.

Here's what I would suggest (assuming you have a microSD card):
Load your ROM of choice onto a microSD card and Team Win Recovery Project (TWRP) to your internal memory. Reboot into recovery and flash the TWRP .zip to install it, and then reboot back into recovery. After that, go to "Wipe" and run Wipe Cache, Wipe Dalvik Cache, Factory Reset, and System, and DO NOT REBOOT Then go back and choose "Install" from the menu and make sure you're viewing "using external SD," and there should be your ROM .zip. Flash it and reboot.
Let me know what happens or if you have any questions.

This is a TF101 we're talking about, right? You didn't just flash that onto a different model of Transformer?

Alright, well, I'm not sure why your touch would't be working if you're using a TF101, but here's my last idea: Go here and do this. Make sure to read it carefully, as that basically just wipes your drive COMPLETELY and reinstalls the STOCK firmware. If you can't figure out how to do that, then I have no idea how else I can help you. I'm sorry.

How do I wipe EVERYTHING on my internal SD card?

Hi guys.
I want to start from scratch regarding my internal SD card (not using external) because I have a lot of junk that just needs to be gone.
I'm running Synergy's latest nightly and am going to flash a Jelly Bean ROM (don't know which yet) right after wiping everything.
So my question is, what do I do to make sure everything is wiped, and my phone still boots? I'm kind of lost.
I usually use CWM to flash, so what do I press in order to do this?
Thanks a lot.
You have to format the internal card with a filw explorer or in a recovery

Understood, but what happens when I try to reboot back into the phone; will it boot normally?
I ditto this question. I'm also curious about formatting my internal card and starting from scratch. I know factory reset from cwm recovery doesn't do it. I'm afraid to just start doing things and bricking this thing. Even though I was told by my cousin who has flashed many phone its very hard to hard brick a Samsung.

Yes it should boot fine. The sd just holds your junk and possible some config info for some apps.

Ok, I'm just going to boot into CWM, Reformat, and Reboot. Hopefully everything goes well.
I'll get back to this topic to tell you how it went.
Ok, reformatting from CWM, then rebooting worked perfectly!
Going on to JB now, thanks for the help everyone.
Uhhh....right-click + "delete" while connected to your computer. Or from settings.

After reformatting, the rom was still installed right? but all your apps and clutter was gone?
Just curious cause I also did data/factory reset from cwm and all it did was delete the rom and apps but all the stuff left over from the apps and music/photos/videos were still there.

Hey buddy they're talking a little different then just data reset. To erase all that other stuff go into cwm under mounts and storage and click format internal SD card. The ROM will still work but it will erase everything on your internal memory so if you have pictures you want back then up

I thinks thats what I'm looking for. Last question, if I do that will my system settings stay, will I have to sign into everything again and will all my apps be gone?

In all honesty I'm not sure if it will erase settings as well. I don't believe it will but some app settings are stored on the SD card so you may have to sign back into some things.
If you choose to factory reset at the same time then yes you will have to reset everything up.
One thing to keep in mind if you make your backups without selecting external SD card they will ask be erased so you will have no backups
If I helped you in some way.... pass on the favor and help the next person!

Quick question, I just went into cwm recover then mounts and storage and the options are
Format /cache
Format /system
Format /data
Format /preload
Format /sdcard
Would sdcard be the internal sd card?
It sounds like that wipes everything (rom and all) and not just internal sd?

You just want to wipe internal? if you want to be safe, take out your external sdcard, then do format /sdcard . This will wipe your internal sdcard.

link2sd (or me) ruined phone

hi, i have formatted my sdcard with gparted. i have an ext2 1gb partition and the rest is fat32. when link2sd ask for the type of the second partition it couldnt mound the ext2, so i checked fat16/32 to see what is happening. it was mounted it so i moved some apps. Now those apps wont start (not exist message) and i cant reinstall them or install any apps from google play because the phone quick reboots when it should finish the install. What should i try to be able to install apps again? (Oxygen 3.0.0 ics rom, rooted with cwm)
go into recovery and fix permissions, reboot, go to app manager and clear data for download manager app and try again
or uninstall all apps, go into recovery and do again a repartition
or u can reflash another ICS 4.0.4 ROM that has terminal command for data to ext and do not use again link2sd

Try partition your sdcard again within the recovery mode. I am on JB 4.1.2 already and I did not use link2sd either. Instead I use INT2EXT4+ Works fine for me.

There are other choices, but these are the one I can using:
1. [ROM][4.1.2][CM10][UNOFFICIAL]LG Optimus One Family CM10[Jan. 8, 2013: Build 7/Final]
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1811325
or
2. [ROM][CM10-MOD] CyanogenMod 10 with CM10.1-Features
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2096721
Differences are:
[1.] is direct from the developer, so trimming the Rom is required while [2.] finished trimming for you, just flash and use :good:
[1.] GAPPS installed in the /system/app while [2.] flash the GAPPS in the /system/cache
[1.] GAPPS uses JB 4.1.2 while [2.] uses mod JB 4.2 so even though it is CM10 but it looks like JB 4.2. Like the round deskclock especially :fingers-crossed:
Enjoy

Well, you have cwm. Backup all your contact, call logs, sms. I use Super Backup for this.
Copy the 4.3 rom in ext. sd card. I'm using Carbon now.
Copy the 4.3 gapps in ext. card.
Go to cwm recovery.
Backup your current system in ext. sd card
Install rom zip from ext. card.
Phone will reboot into new cwm.
Mount internal and external sd cards. ( to avoid status 7 error)
Install the rom zip again. This time it will actually install the rom.
Install the gapps zip.
Clear cache, delvic
Reboot.
It will take few minutes to complete the boot.

You have followed dhiru1602 thread for efs backup. You will be able to restore it.
As I know this efs cocked up when you flash 4.2 or 4.3 over ICS.
We used to flash 4.2 and 4.3 over GB not on ICS.
Go ahead. Good thing will happen. We all are still alive and enjoying 4.3.
Good luck and welcome to cm 10.2 A3.

[Q] Data On My Internal Storage?

Hi guys, this is my first post on this forum ( Actually I have benn here for a long time without account )
Alright, This is my problem, I usually flash back to stock by RUU, my Pico has over 100MB free space. A few days ago, I flashed the same RUU, but this time I have 70MB space only, I have cleaned all partitions by recovery and flash again, still.
Oh wait, I just use Disk Usage and check the storage, it's say there are some data(not system) on the internal storage, wow.
Does anyone have ideas?
My Pico cid is Taiwan(621), so I flash TW RUU.
Thanks
before flashing, did you wipe system partition too?

I know that and it's convenience, but this smartphone now is just my secondary phone.
And for a odd reason, I prefer not to creat a partition on my SD card, just like to keep it simple and clean.
Looks like I'm stubborn...
