I'm not use to factory reset in recovery wiping internal storage. Because of this I had wipe all my titanium backups prior (now I know to keep it on the external storage).
But this means every time I install a new rom my internal storage will be wiped (unless I backup to external storage) ?

internal storage doesn't get wiped when you factory reset. i'm using CWM from the toolkit (the universal CWM). what are you using?

really? I'm using the same CWM from toolkit. I remember doing a factory reset in recovery and install new rom. I noticed all my files were gone. I'll do it again and see what happens..
I just wipe/factory reset from CWM and internal storage all gone.

Get off of cwm and use twrp. It definitely doesn't wipe internal storage.

As a heads up, I had an issue with the latest TWRP not wiping anything for me, verified it twice. I reverted back to 2.3.1.1, keep an eye on that though.
I think they released a new twp to fix that

twrp-2.3.1.4 zip. To update it do I just boot into recovery and flash that zip?

Was looking for this thread because I'm having the same problem. I flashed 2 roms with cwm and didnt have any issue with backups, the 3rd time I lost everything on internal sd. Is there anyway to get TB to recognize extsd? I know it did on my evo, but I can't get it to on the note...of course TB is to busy t9 help

Hey I'm still new to Verizon g nexus and want to confirm that wiping data will not erase things like pictures, music and everything else on my internal memory

Wiping data in custom recovery will not touch your "SD card"
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2
Yes. It definitely will.

Yes I am also wondering if doing a data wipe from clockworkmod recovery will delete the sdcard partition? I am about to try as soon as all my music finishes copying over to my computer. I'll post my results here once I know.Cheers!

No. Wiping in clockwork mod will NOT delete anything on your "SD card".

If you're on a custom ROM and wiping from CWM Recovery, it will not wipe the virtual "SDcard".
If you're on stock ROM and doing something like unlocking the bootloader, wiping the device, it will wipe everything.
I'm on gummynex and the optimus prime recovery. I should be fine then

Can indeed confirm that it saves the sdcard partition from a clockworckmod custom rom wipe. Yay! Thanks all!
Thanks for all the help guys

Wipe both caches after flash?
Sent from my SGH-I317M using xda premium
When I have issues I save everything from internal SD card to my PC then load the ROM files to ext SD. Then I go to recovery > wipe. Then do Factory reset, system and data. That way its all clean. Don't wipe external.

install it from your internal card, NOT your external card..
Flash the latest TWRP and re download the time and flash again.

Is there a way to wipe my internal 16gig.. From loading 4.2 and coming back to 4.1 somehow my internal memory is messed up. When I go into twrp I can see some files in my downloads folder but when I boot up and explore my memory it's different. I have factory reset and wipe when I Flashed new rom but it don't fix it.

Try looking in data/media and you will most likely find your files. It's a 4.2 change

In twrp there is a wipe internal option. Not sure if that'll do what you need.

I currently have cm10 on 4.1.2 but I can't seem to update to 4.2 or 4.3 I tried the update in the settings and after my phone wipes everything it just goes back to the home page of TWRP. If I try to flash it manually I can't see the zip file when I'm in recovery. Am I doing something wrong?

I've tried moving it around internal and external into different folders. Its weird it really doesn't want me to flash it. But why cant I even do it through too manager? It does the same thing where it goes to the main TWRP screen

Easiest way.
1. Make a backup of your Internal memory.
2. Update to latest recovery.
3. Copy cm and gapps into the root of your external sd.
4. Wipe data, system, internal(yes that's why the backup).
5. Search for cm and gapps. Flash it.
6. Copy all to internal again.
7. Enjoy.

Also if you have TWRP forget about ROM Manager app. It only works(when that pos does) with CWM.

I figured it out guys. My phone was a hard brick before so my boot loader is old. I had to reflash the MD4 bootloads and flashed from there
