Hi all, I just flashed CM7 using the newest clockwork mod recovery. Now it says my internal memory is full. I havnt deleted anything internally since I got the phone. What is the best way to format that memory and reinstall a fresh copy of CM7?

Go to recovery......in recovery go wipe cache, factory reset/data, go to mounts/storage and format system, data, cache....go to advance and delete dalvik cache..... then just install zip from sd, choose zip, flash taht **** and reboot your phone
Awesome!! thanks bud!
I don't mess with CWM wiping partitions anymore, I wrote a flashable script for that - a long time ago there was an issue with that on CWM 4.0.0.8
A member has confirmed that A01 wipe will be okay if you turn off and have no ROM installed, you will still be able to get to CWM and flash whatever you want.
A01 wipe will format /cache, /data and /system
B01 wipe will format /cache and /data
Use as needed.
I keep a backup memory card with my phone at all times that has A01 wipe, B01 wipe, and my original CWM backup of my stock system on it, in case I ever need to go back to stock if something goes wrong.
Attached are the scripts, just throw these on your sdcard and flash like normal in CWM if you need to, before installing a ROM or patch if needed.

hey Blue just outta curiosity has anyone confirmed having issues with wiping through CWM with the new recovery or has the issue carried over from the 4.0.0.8/9?
I'm pretty sure I don't remember anyone having issues directly with cwm 4.0.0.9, and it was only a problem with 4.0.0.8 - even then not everyone experienced it.
I haven't tried the new recovery available yet, I meant to get to it this weekend, but it doesn't look like i'll get a chance to fit it in my schedule. I haven't seen my lady in just over a week, so spending the weekend with her.
Hopefully over the next week i'll get a chance to bring myself up to speed with it, I don't expect to go back to 4.0.0.9 once I move up to the new CWM recovery.
I have a question about ext4 convert here.. Let's say I've flashed to a custom rom that converts my phone's partitions to ext4, once I flash a stock firmware on top of it, do the partitions stay in ext4 or back to rfs?
No it converted to rfs
Sent from my GT-I9003 using XDA App
Ok... What about I wipe date from cwm? Does that revert the partitions back to rfs as well?
I don't think by wiping your data cache u can revert back to rfs. you have to reflash for rfs.

Wiping doesnot changes the partition format. When you flash a new firmware the partitions will be converted to rfs.

I have a big Q!
Once i flashed KPH and i tried to convert to ext4 via CWM, but i had a problem, after doing a backup i flashed the ext4 zip, when i tried to restore the nandroid i stuck on bootloop!
Any idea of what could have caused this?

I think it is not compatible with xxkph. Try wiping cache and dalvik cach

Could be the reason, but many guys at another forum did it and it worked perfect for them, i think the error could be in the flash of kph, so the whole process went bad
Lucasred, i had the same problem twice. But i had tried it with XXKPQ.

Yes, I'm using it.
For the others: the restore of the nandroid backup after the conversion failed whenever I tried to convert the phone before deodexing it. Try to deodex first, and then convert.
What I found weird was that the error was "not enough space", but when I tried to restore the backup on rfs it worked, doing the same after the ext4 conversion gave the error. I don't know how you could convert the partitions in ext4 with an odexed rom, I didn't look for any solution, maybe if you don't want to deodex your rom you could try to remove some system apps or something like that before the nandroid backup, in order to get more space.

sorry guys, i am using cm7.1.0 kernel version [email protected]#1
can i put this in my folder and just flash it and gapps using cwm? or do i need to flash a different kernel?
sorry this is my 2nd time switching through between rom, just experimented switching to miui using cwm and now wanna try those in xda.
Thanks for commenting.
Go to Recovery.
Perform a nandroid backup of your current ROM.
Wipe All partitions - system, boot, data ,cache, dalvik cache {except your SD card}.
Install Zip from SD card & navigate to your ROM from your SD card.
Flash G Apps attached in the OP of the ROM.
Reboot
facing this weird error Coming From stock GPE Rom with Stock kernel XT1032 Model with unlock bootloader i am on TWRP 2.7 this one(http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2759058). Before flashing the rom I wiped the cache system partition except the internal data partition (Internal storage)
i have Flashed the rom then slim gapps when i boot the rom i am faced with this error
Encryption unsuccessful
Encrypton was interuupted and cant complete the data on your phone is no longer accesible
and RESET button at the bottom when i pressed that button it goes in recovery and formats something and again I am faced with that Encryption unsuccessful screen. I Tried Omni Rom too but still Facing with this error
i have never encrypeted my phone!!! pls help really wanna try this rom

all will be fine.
this error is due to the mismatch partition of ext4 and f2fs
Thanks for the help really appriciated also do I have to do everytime when flashing the rom or only for rom utilizing f2fs partition coz I really don't wanna wipe internal data every time, Also are all the custom rom based on f2fs partition? Really confused
Tried wiping internal storage still Facing same error :crying:
i believe Stock GPE uses Ext4 and all custom rom uses F2fs
So what to do really help needed??
So how do i convert to F2fs to flash custom roms
This is a simple .zip file you can flash on any amami, which uses a ramdisk like the combinedrootfs from Cyanogenmod 11. Your device needs to have a f2fs-compatible kernel, for example this one.
This zip is only modifying your current ramdisk. It will delete the normal fstab and add a binary, which detects if your system, data and cache partition are formatted with f2fs and create a new fstab every boot. It will also flash a twrp recovery, which is modified to work with f2fs.
Ok but... what is f2fs?
It is a new file system, which is especially designed for flash-based storages, like our phones. It will give you much better reading and writing speed.
Installation:
1. Be sure, that you have a f2fs-compatible kernel and your ramdisk's structure is similar to Cyanogenmod's one. If you are on any aosp-based rom, the ramdisk will be compatible anyway.
2. Flash the .zip file from a custom recovery
3. Reboot recovery
4. Now go to advanced wipe and you can change the file systems of system, data and cache to f2fs.
Some more information:
If you convert cache to f2fs:
->No data will be lost
If you convert data to f2fs:
->Your whole internal storage will be wiped. backup your data before you decide to do that!
If you convert system to f2fs
->You need to flash your rom again. You need to modify the updater script of your rom before that like this
OK. I formatted data with f2fs, but want to flash a new rom. What to do?
You need to flash a kernel with f2fs and this zip, no need for any wipes

So, if I corectly understand this zip will erase all data including internal storage? Am I right? But about if I use nightlies? Will I neen to flash it every time after update?

It does not erase anything. It makes your current ramdisk compatible with f2fs. If you just flash this notjing changes. But you can convert you cache and data partition to f2fs after flashing the zip with the recovery. If you do that, all your data is lost.
If you have converted your partitions to f2fs and flash a new rom, you need to flash a f2fs-compatible kernel and this again.

OK. Thanx. I will try. But if I will update the ROM (for example, when using CM nighlies), when there is no need to wipe all data, will I still need to perform all these steps to convert data partion to f2fs? I mean will I need every time restore all data again?

You need to flash a f2fs compatiblr kernel and this zip, no wipes
But if you don't do that your rom will bootloop

New version!
I uploaded a new version with /system support and a few fixes.
I also updated the op.
Have fun!
I would guess that if you have f2fs you should flash the appropriate kernel only if switch ROMs or if the nightly build brings kernel changes.
If you install kernel with f2fs support and your partition is f2fs formatted, I think your data should be safe even between ROM changes.
Somebody please confirm my assumptions.
I hope oshmoun will have the time to build PAC ROM with oms kernel, built in [emoji12]

Every rom flashes a boot.img. This boot.img contains a zImage and a ramdisk(on sony devices it is a bit more complicated but that's enough for now).
Using f2fs needs:
1. A zImage(kernel) with f2fs support
2. A ramdisk with f2fs support
This zip modifies the ramdisk for compatibility with f2fs.
You need to flash a f2fs kernel manually.(for example my moshkernel)
And everytime you flash a new rom, you have to modify the contents of the boot.img again
And why don't I just let you flash a modified boot.img? It is only one file.
It would only be compatible with one rom. This is compatible with any rom and boot.img, which uses the ramdisk architecture like cyanogenmod(combinedrootfs).
I hope I could explain it well
If i want to format my system to f2fs, i just need to do step 6 as in your link and then zip back the rom?
So when ever i decide to do full wipe everything, will my system, data, cache format still in f2fs format?

If you use TWRP yes
But if you want to revert back go to advanced wipe->change or repair filesystem/change filesystem-> ext4
