Why do you want to do this? The reason why is important for the proper answer.

Factory reset (or unlock/relock bootloader). Since there are no separate partitions, it will delete everything iirc.
Iv installed the aokp rom after coming from arhd and power amp and double twist don't work which is a major bug
I used this super wipe zip when i flashed arhd and not sure if this is the issue as no1 else seems to have this problem
Power amp just opens then closes and runs a scan in the background which just loops and can't do anything so easiest thing for me is to start from scratch

If you want to go back to stock it should be sufficient to delete all caches from recovery and flash the Galaxy Nexus ICS stock image provided by Google.
Nah I want the aokp rom, its soo good but if power amp doesn't work then its a noo noo
So thought if I wipe it and start fresh all will be good

I would also like to know. I flashed arhd and want to format the entire device but keep root/arhd. Is it just a matter of factory reset and wipe dalvik cache?

Factory Reset, while having the bootloader unlocked and while using AOKP, did not delete the contents of my galaxy nexus's SD CARD... WTF?
Unlocking the bootloader will surely erase everything.

Hi All
Im trying to do a wipe data/factory reset so i can install a new ROM but im running into a major problem, my wipe data does not work i have tried from the settings menu and also from CWM Recovery but to no avail all of my apps are still there and all saved settings widgets etc
i'm currently on Fox hound 1.2 and have CWM maguro touch 5.8.0.2
Galaxy Nexus UK GSM
Any Ideas
A wipe will not erase the contents of your "sdcard" partition on the GN. Are these the files that you are seeing?
Thought I would just try and change ROM anyway to see what happens I went for foxhound 0.2 and works OK but I can't open up the ROM control settings it just force closes every time
Did wipe from CWM recovery first but all of my apps are there with their relevant data along with Google, Facebook and twitter accounts
Will changing the kernel help?

You could always try wiping through ADB. See if that fixes your problems. If not, I'd say reflash your recovery maybe?
I've tried to reflash the recovery hence why I have the touch version but it didn't do much and I'm guna sound very much like a noob and I probably am but how do u wipe thru adb and will I lose things like photos and music on the sdcard??

Well.. I think it might wipe everything, so you could just pull /system/media (virtual SD card), and then wipe, thus keeping everything on your SD card safe. Go to this site and follow the instructions (setting up SDK, etc.) If you don't have ADB/fastboot. But you would have to have it right? That's how you got rooted? Or did you just root it using the Gnex toolkit? If so you can wipe your data partition through the toolkit as well. Link and Link
I used a toolkit on my lapdog so It will have to wait until I get home I will report back in a few hours,

Yeah, you have a very unique problem, that I doubt you could fix without using a computer... I mean, your data wipe doesn't work? That's just crazy...
I'm on the same boat. Not a nu-b either, but I just want to factory reset and it's not happening. Will try with toolkit right now...

back up your SD card and re lock then unlock your bootloader again and it will wipe everything...

hi diggs I've managed to sort the issue but it takes time with the lap dog
1. Download wugfresh gnex toolkit or one that you are comfortable using. MUST HAVE STOCK FIRMWARE in with toolkit!
2. Backup all personal files onto a folder in the computer I.e pictures, video's etc ya know the important stuff
3. Flash stock firmware and unroot and possibly re lock boot loader this will return phone to how it was out of the box and completely factory reset
4 from here you can then unlock boot loader and root just follow all of the steps the toolkit tells you
5 finally flash any from you desire transfer all the personal data back to your phone
Unfortunately the data from the apps cannot be recovered and also the messages but your contacts would have been backed up via your Google account
I will find the post with the toolkit and re posy shortly

Im running rascream (aosp) and trinity kernel. Ive flashed alot of roms and kernels since i bought the phone. I know if i relock bootloader and unlock it everything gets wiped. Do i have to flash a stock image first or can i just stay on the custom rom?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
If you stay on your current ROM and simply relock your bootloader, you won't lose any data. You will only lose data if you decide to unlock it again at a future date.

if you lock and unlock, it wipes all the user data, but should leave the /system image alone.
so you would still have your custom rom, just no data including in the sd card folder.
If you want it to be stock, you have to flash the stock images. I wouldn't lock the bootloader unless you plan on sending it in for warranty work, as the next time you unlock it wipes the phone again.

If you want to wipe boot into fastboot mode and type the following:
fastboot erase system
fastboot erase boot
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot erase cache
That will clear your ROM, kernel and all your data (including /sdcard).
You can also do it in recovery -- I'm pretty sure I saw a script floating around. I could also put one together for you, but it is really easy to wipe using fastboot.
Ok....so will it be like stock? I guess what im trying to say is im trying to clear out any junk thant might be left over from other roms. So unlocking the bootloader again would be like just like wiping all user data in clockwork?

it will not be stock if you just lock then unlock the bootloader.
it will be the custom rom, but with no user data including no user data on the /sdcard folder.
if you want stock, you have to flash the stock images.

What do you want to do: go back to stock, or wipe?
To wipe, do what I said above. To got back to stock, you need to flash the system, boot and userdata images from a stock ROM.

Do what I mentioned in my first post and then re-flash rascream. But again, note that it will wipe EVERYTHING, including /sdcard.

Just download the fastboot files, extract them. On the bootloader enter this command from the extracted folder with fastboot.exe inside the folder - fastboot flash system system.img
Reboot and your good to go

How does one "accidentally" wipe the ROM from their device? After purposely wiping mine to ensure clean partitions, accidentally seems like a long shot.

Bootloop after Jedi Mind Trick 3 Install
Performed a full system wipe - Factory Reset/Data Wipe, format /system, Wipe Dalvik Cache - using CWM. Flashed ROM, Fixed Permissions, then rebooted. Waited 10 minutes (actually more like 20 minutes) but was stuck in a bootloop. The loading bar almost completely fills in each time (only a small fraction - i.e. about 0.5mm - remains unfilled) before the reboot occurs automatically. I read else where on the SGH-T989 forum of similar problems with 2.0. Someone said that wiping the data caches before AND after flashing the ROM always works for them. I assume they mean format /data cache and Wipe Dalvik Cache after flashing ROM but I'm not sure. Anyone have any experience here?

Thanks. I found the darkside wipe files and downloaded them. Then I read elsewhere that if you have the up-to-date CWM version (6 or later), it will do the same thing accomplished by the darkside wipes. Do you know if this is a fact? Thanks again.

Hi everyone
I would like to know how to format my phone and not the external sd card. Is this something that can be done? I would like to know how to do it and what are the risks of losing imei or efs or worse.
Reason why i am doing this is because i cant get my gps to work on jedix rom. I checked with lots of people with my carrier and they all confirmed that its not the rom its my phone. I tried numerous fixes to get the gps working but with no luck. It works fine on a stock rom but as son as i flash jedi there is no signal whatsoever.
I believe something got screwed up after i flashed cm10 a while back and then flashed jedi after. I think that was the culprit and i figured maybe if i format and start from scratch i can get it to work? Please help thanks.

Have you tried getting your navigation lock on stock then booting straight to recovery and flashing. To answer your question, boot into recovery and select wipe internal sd and there's no risk. Except deleting all pics on internalvl which of course is what you're doing.

Hi
No I havent tried getting nav lock first and then flashing Jedi. I will try that. Now when I flash back to stock and get my lock on
do I need to do a full wipe (cache and dalvik) before I flash Jedi because that is what its recommended be done. I am scared to flash
Jedi without a full wipe.
If the first thing fails I will go ahead and do a wipe of the internal memory. Now will I lose root and TWRP once i do that? And also do I need to do a full backup in twrp but backup to ExternalSd because I will be wiping the internal one? Please bare with me I have never done a full format and don't want to screw up my phone. Thanks!!!
