I think it is supposed to, why do you not have an extra sd? Even if you just bought a small one for a few bucks you could save your downloads and backups to external.

Your internal nor external memory should not be touched during a wipe unless you have those options checked. Check to see which partitions are being wiped BEFORE you begin the wipe process.

I'm sorry if this has already been answered but I would like someone to lay out to me exactly what doing a data wipe with CWM will delete. Will it erase the entire internal SD card or only certain portions or what? I have found various other answered pertaining to this question but none are directly about the Galaxy Nexus. I want to make sure that I won't lose the 25 gigs of music that I just transferred on here from my old SD card. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

it won't touch the virtual sdcard

Wiping from CWM will not wipe /data/media (i.e. your internel SD) if your on the latest version of CWM. It has been provisioned to be aware of that directory.

OK thank you so much. Got the latest cwm so I should be good. I do have all my stuff backed up but it takes so long to transfer all of it.

I would grately appreciate if any Dev can make a flashable zip, like the one Darkside made for the s2
Or I'm wondering if I can still use the darkside one, b4 I flash a new ROM on my S3?

I read the OP but it says its gonna wipe my internal SD card, such as data and media.
I got a bunch of movies on my Int. SD card, so do I have to move them to my SD card?
That or back them up to a pc. Superwipe wipes everything but external sd.
Sounds like you are looking for something more like the factory reset through cwm or twrp.

I had the s2 but I always used the script from darkside, it didn't touch my SD card even the internal.
If u got time check it out and you'll see what I'm looking for.

Just go into cwr and mounts and storage and format system, data, and cache.
It will accomplish the same thing

I flashed xylon maguro 0082 odexed and it messed up my internal storage. Scrutineers I flash it created a new storage files. Thought I new what I was doing but clearly I don't. So now I go to storage/o for times to find my internals. Please help. Don't know how to correct. Hope this is the right forum.

The directory structure has changed as of Jelly Bean 4.2.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2
Is any way how to change it back? Can I revert back to stock 4.0.4 and fix it that way? Thanks for the reply.
Sent from my Nexus S using xda premium
I guess it has to do with 4.2 using symbolic links and 4.1.2 using hard links.

Thesingle 0 stucture is rhe new file structure. If you're getting multiple nested 0 folders you need to update your custom recovery to prevent that from happening again.
If done properly, you should one and only one 0 folder. Best bet is to: pull all the files from your sdcard, get the latest recovery version, delete your nested 0 folders, then restore your sdcard data.
Easiest way overall: update recovery, backup sdcard, format internal storage, reboot, restore sdcard.

I would think so, yes
Format system deletes system files

So formatting sd card in cwm will retain the rom and the superuser?

So I'm trying to install aosp..and my storage gets all messed up after. Something to do with different partitions. It says its empty but all I have is 2 gigs available.
I fix it by flashing a tw ROM then my storage shows up again and I can flash a nandroid.
How do I flash aosp without my storage becoming invisible? This has never happened before when I flashed aosp. My usual method to downgrade is flash a tw ROM then the restore SD card file. Idk what to do lol

I've always just moved the "0" folder contents back to internal storage after going back to TW...then deleting the duplicates...
After that I delete the "0" folder...then the legacy and obb folders...
Back to normal after that...
Your lost space issue is unique...and I've never seen that happen on my device before...g
