Whenever I flash a aosp rom(cm, aokp) all of my music and photos disappear.. Any ideas? They are there when I flash back to a touchwiz based rom

Jellybean has a different file structure than older TW ROMs
Using a Root Browser, look for a 0 folder, you may have the emulated storage bug.
To fix the emulated storage bug:
Full Wipe, and format internal SD, after copying your files to your computer so you can move them back after getting to JB
Yeah I know of this. Any way to avoid it though?

It's leftover from either an old recovery, the TW file system, or both...
Upgrade your recovery to the latest
Full wipe, Including format Internal
Have the ROM and gapps on the external so you can reflash

Flashed a rom and saw folders from my previous installation there. H ow do I wipe internal sd, NOT extsd.also what is the best rom for rogers with working LTE
Boot in recovery, go into mount&storage or something like it and format sdcard.
The better ROM for rogers lte is task & ktoonsez if you want JB. If you prefer ICS try kyan or one of teem ressurection roms

Be careful. Some recovery support external. And formatting sdcard will wipe external. Look for format emmc

Both CWM & TWRP support ext-sdcard but you have the option to format sdcard or ext-sdcard. I do it all the time and never formated my ext-sdcard

Just take the external out. Can't reformat it if it ain't there

That's true. Just depends on the version recovery he has. With my recovery(5.8.4.5) i have to format emmc. If i choose to format my sdcard then it wipes my external. I just wanted to prevent a possible mistake.

Why don't we format system when we flash a new rom? I remember doing it with the epic touch..
You might find that updater-script's format /system as part of the install process, so it wouldn't be necessary.
Its recommended when flashing aokp. Don't know about the others

Me too, I wipe everything but the storage, and if I'm flashing from aosp to tw or vice versa will wipe it all a 2nd time just to be safe and make sure it got everything, probably not necessary but I'm a lil ocd about wiping for clean installs :screwy:

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 have a question about the process of moving back to 4.1.2 from 4.2.2
I was Testing the latest MIUI v5 build bu team noob and I flashed back to stock rooted MC2.
After booting MC2 I went to recovery and flashed the ZIP from the CM10.1 thread to downgrade back to 4.1.2
Now I have duplicate data in sdcard and data/media and I also have a folder 0
Should I just delete the 0 folder and the data/media folder or will that break the files in the sdcard folder?
Thanks in Advance!
I deleted the 0 folder after I transfered everything in it I needed. Hasnt been a problem.

Did you do anything with the data/media folder?

Lol I was nevvveerr aware of this. Did this JUST started happening for galaxy note 2? Never flashed aosp since almost every Google phone out there has it and really ain't that appealing as the TW UI. But back in the HTC days I never had to flash a zip in order to boot up back on sense UI. How wieerd what happens if you download an aosp ROM and just wipe everything and flash a TW ROM???

This started when they updated the base to 4.2.2
Since there are no 4.2.2 TW roms for our device it only shows up in aosp based roms

I always odin back when I install aosp roms, that way I know all the partitions are the way they are supposed to be.

I've flashed a few times on 4.3 roms and I want to know a way where I don't have to goto recovery and format data. I flashed a few before with TWRP 2.4/5. Now I have 2.6.3.0.. I'm running stock ZVC

So I'm guessing you want to bounce back and fourth installing stock and CM Roms without clearing data? Or different CM Roms for that matter.
I don't know much tech stuff, but every ROM is layed out differently. And stores it's info in different ways.
So a setting you have, for say Carbon might interfere with a setting in PAC.
That's my best way to explain it.

I'll say be in a custom ROM and don't have to keep formatting data to use the ROM again
Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda app-developers app
You could always get a ROM running the way you like, create a back up and then flash a new one and repeat. Now when you want to switch ROMs its as easy as hitting the restore button.

Do you mean you don't want to lose files on your SD card? You don't have to format data every time you install a new rom. Factory reset - > wipe system - > wipe cache -> wipe d cache -> flash rom -> flash gapps
This will keep your actual files on your sd card for every rom you bounce to. If you mean Application data (login info, candy crush progression, etc...) use Titanium and backup before flashing a new rom and restore after.
Hope that helps!
Once you are on CM official you can update easily through the tool in settings. But to switch back and forth from CM to stock is quite difficult on this phone.
