If you wiped the sdcard all is gone, you have to push or sideload a rom in recovery to get the phone running again. Or flash a factory image in fastboot.

Well then bootup and look which data is still available, data factory resets don`t wipe the backed up recovery and TB backups.

Download the factory image from here https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images?hl=nl and extract it with 7-zip. Flash the boot.img in fastboot (fastboot flash boot boot.img). Do you even have a OS atm as you formated data?

Twrp changed it ages ago and now it seems to automatically include wiping data. I almost did it when it first changed but noticed just in time. Always always use advanced wipe and just tick what you want

Read before wiping anything. I almost wiped everything but I read before I did anything and I caught it. I do backups every few days and I back up to my cloud as well. I had a hardware failure with my Evo 4g when it came out (I smashed it) and lost all my stuff. Ever since then I do nandroids and back them up too.

I remember using VR Superwipe on my last phone. I would flash it just before I flashed a new Rom. Would it have any use for us on our SGS3?

You realize a factory reset in CWM wipes the data and cache right? After that you just proceed to install the rom, why do you need a zip?

Using the "date wipe/factory reset" option wipes everything in /data (this includes dalvik cache) and /cache. Then when you flash a Rom it will format /boot and /system.
I'm just trying to understand why there needs to be a zip for it or what benefits that would possibly have? I can use recovery and wipe data/factory reset with 2 finger touches on my phone, and then use a few more (depending on where you store your rom zips) to install the rom of my choice that will format /boot and /system. Even if you use a zip to wipe, you'll still have to install a rom, and it sounds like the zip method would require more actions.
I'm not trying to be a ****, just trying to understand because i've never used a zip to do my wiping. It was never taken off topic by me.

It's a common issue. You need to factory reset with stock recovery (or possibly format data with TWRP, unsure of that). Make a nandroid, copy it to your computer, flash stock recovery, factory reset, flash custom recovery, restore nandroid. Fixed.

EDIT: Never mind, it worked
Hi. I have a rooted Nexus 5 with stock ROM & kernel, Xposed installed and TWRP recovery. I'd like to do a factory reset, and by "factory reset" I mean I'd like to have it as if it was brand new. No apps, no media, etc. I think I can keep TWRP, but nothing else. I'd like to have it as it was the first time I powered it on. Can I do that from TWRP? Because I know that when you do a factory reset from recovery, usually, the /data/media directory isn't wiped.
You can not do it from twrp. I'd recommend flashing the factory image and then rerooting.

Maybe I can't read, but why won't factory reset + intsd wipe in TWRP do what he needs?
I'm looking at TWRP right now and I'm not sure which option you would use, there's format data on the main wipe screen, and when you go into advanced there's internal storage. I'm thinking you want to wipe internal storage, but someone else with knowledge of this should chime in first before you do it. I've never factory restored a phone through recovery so I'm not sure. Wouldn't locking and unlocking your bootloader with ADB accomplish the same thing?
There is literally a sticky in one of the Nexus forums that explains how to go back to bone stock. check it out, should be everything you need.

Right, but if you want to retain root and recovery like TWRP, can't you just format your storage through recovery?

OP was not explicit. Asked for it to be like first time powered on which I suspect was not with a custom rom or kernel. Think OP needs to elaborate on what is desired but no recovery can replace rom and kernel with the "factory reset" option

While flashing the stock images make sure you have also Erased cache partition and formatted it using stock recovery.. I was exactly in the same spot as you were few weeks ago and a cache partition format solved it completely!

You're the only one saying such things. If there was a problem with the ROM we would have heard it from others and the team would see the same issues.
The ROM ships with stock Google kernel. The ROM doesn't do anything in itself that could corrupt your userdata

I've come to the conclusion, after 4(!) factory images, that the ROM DEFINITELY corrupts the recovery. I have a 100% success(failure?) rate when flashing PA. Clean md5, after first boot the ROM functions properly, but recovery fails to mount the userdata partition, every time. Flash a new recovery, or adb shell and attempt to repair don't work. I understand that it doesn't make sense, but it's obviously something that's happening with the ROM. After 4 factory images, the only other factors are the recovery(PhilZ, TWRP, AND CWM all fail) being borked from the start, or the ROM. It's obviously not the recovery(all 3 have clean md5s, are transferred with adb push, and function perfectly otherwise).....
Again, in the ROM I can r/w to the /data, so the partition is fine, but the ROM borks the recovery.
But there is nothing in the ROM that would cause that. Are you restoring anything from previous versions? Are you installing an app that does this?

No and no. I don't even install Gapps. The ROM alone still triggers it. I just boot into system then boot to recovery.

If you flash a new (base) rom on your device it may not automatically wipe your dalvik -cache, This means your old dalvik -cache will be used for the new system files which would result in a bootloop, after restoring a system only backup it is actually the same as the above one, since only /system is restored (when reverting back to stock) there is an incorrect
dalvik -cache present which will cause the bootloop. Note that some roms/ firmwares use /data and some use /cache for the
dalvik -cache.
So basically you won't be able to do that without formatting, sorry
Don't just say thanks, press the ? button.
