problem fixed
just replaced the twrp recovery with this one
http://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-8/development/recovery-twrp-huawei-mate-8-t3298567
and formated data not wipe just useed format
i think it would be helpful to others with the same problem to also state the solution here
in this case: u need to format the data partition in twrp before it can read it, it basically removes encryption and thus makes it readable/mountable

Wipe data from cwm
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?
I'm sure Scott will port some that he made for the rezound. Just give him time.

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?

Exactly why I posted what I did....
so use recovery to wipe with 4 actions
or use zip and wipe with 1 action
every other device has wipe.zips why not the S3
and not the be a **** this was a request thread not a tell me why its a stupid idea thread or hey you can wipe using recovery blah blah
why its so hard for some of you to keep stuff on topic, will never know

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.

Nope. Anything on the internel sd card is safe as far as i know. I've never lost anything on it when wiping my data, and ive done that quite a lot.

For wiping, Wipe data/factory reset, then wipe cache partition and then wipe dalvik cache (under advanced menu). It may not all be necessary but I find many recommending all three with a new rom.
I backed up just my data with TWRP, and then did a wipe, and now when I go to restore, there is nothing there?! Please help I had, ugh **** my life, a lot of important stuff, where could it be?

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.

I can still boot the phone just into my rom, but there's obviously no data and stuff so it says to activate my google account and stuff, is the data gone still?

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?

I can imagine somebody else must have done this, you click on wipe, and there are two buttons, and a bloody ad looking swipe thing, I just clicked format and it told me to type in yes, so **** it.

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

I will sure as hell remember this. so damn annoying
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.

Hello everyone. I want to flash the 38R OTA update which our devices are getting. But it seems I have made some changes in my system because of which I am thinking of clean flashing 33R zip through twrp first amd then the 38R. So my doubt is regarding the various wipe options in twrp. What does each wipe option do (specifically on our device)? Or else if you bored to answer that questiom then just tell me what does /data wipe? Does it include internal sd too? I read on galaxy nexus forum that it wipes internal and there are mixed answers everywhere so I am confused.
I'm on an earlier version of TWRP but I'm assuming that the options in the advanced wipe menu are the same:
Cache
Dalvik Cache
System
Data
Internal Storage
Wiping data only wipes the system data partition, not the internal storage.

I beg to differ. I was unlocking rooting and installing new twrp for my cousin's phone, when I wiped everything except internal storage in twrp ( that includes the data) it I think wiped the CyanogenMod too. Because after wiping and rebooting, there was no ROM to load, only oneplus logo and that's it. So I think the data option wipes ROM too.

When you wiped everything except internal storage, you wiped system too which wiped the rom part. Secondly, unlocking bootloader deletes your data from internal sd.

Lol. Dude, you're the one that messed up. You wiped /system, of course there's no CM left after that. We're talking about internal storage, not /system. Maybe you need to do a bit more research before you attempt anything else on your phone, just to make sure you're confident with what you're doing.
