What exactly does this do?
I have a battery drain problem and I haven't tried this yet. The details online are unclear, I appreciate any help.

No need to wipe internal storage just wipe data and flash the stock rom. That will put you back to stock.

Have you tried a full wipe and reflash using TWRP?

I did full wipe and reflash many time throught install of new roms,whats "TWRP'?plz respond,sorry it took days for me to respond when im the one asking for help,lol,just now checking up on issue again because im getting very annoyed with having to manually mount internal sd every boot.
EDIT: I got the issue fixed,I just formatted system in recovery...so to anyone else having a similar issue,just wipe data and format system in recovery...
While performing a ROM change, I ran into this problem: Using TWRP 2.4.1 i got into recovery and did a clean install as usual. Wipe internal storage, factory reset, system, dalvik, and cache, and format data. Done this plenty of times , with never a problem. Today however, when i went to install from external storage, my phone is not seeing the sd card. I can still boot into TWRP, so I tried formating card, then tried 4 different sd cards, but no luck with phone mounting sd card. How do I get an operating system back on this? ODIN? Please advise. Thank you

Use Odin to flash. Then put the rom on internal storage and flash.

Good luck
I just got an extended battery and wanted to wipe my internal SD so I can have a clean start and flash revolt with lightning kernel. I have no access to a computer. Would it be safe to put the ROM on my SD then wipe internal, then flash all in one recovery session? Thanks
It is probably ok. Although just to be sure I would stick a reboot in between.

But if I reboot I wouldn't be able to get back into recovery though right? Or would it not wipe that part?
If you just wipe internal only you still have a rom. If you format system your rom is gone. And you can just reboot recovery its much faster. You can go ahead and try it all at once. Worst outcome is you reflash the rom. No biggie

Yeah I just wanted to do a complete internal SD wipe, I didn't want to get locked out with no recovery. I'll wipe, then reboot then wipe ROM I guess then flash

If you go to settings/storage and format your internal, it will wipe it clean, but you'll still have your ROM.Just did it the other day.

Thanks guys. It's just internal SD, not sure why I was thinking about the internal phone storage.

Well to me internal phone storage is internal sd card. The reason I didnt say for you to wipe that in setting is because I was unsure of the rom. As far as I can remember some stock roms had the brick bug still in it if you access the wipe by settings> storage.

Either way, I'm on a night shift and tired as hell, didn't think it through haha. Thanks for the help

Hi, i just got my nexus and have flashed a rom onto it but i want to try another rom and dont want to do a full factory reset and scrub and loose all my stuff on my internal storage.
I have used a superwipe script on my previous smart phones, is there something like this available yet? if not how do i go about changing roms without deleting from my internal storage?
Thanks for any help:good:
Well to try a different ROM, your going to have to factory reset, that doesn't mean it wipes the internal memory though. Just put the ROM on the root of the tab, and flash it. Shouldn't wipe anything off the tab besides data and cache, leaving everything else intact.

Can you just make a backup in twrp or cwm before you flash the new rom

Sup guys, I've never had a android device with no sdcard, do what happens when you wipe the phone, all my nandroids,pictures etc get deleted?

No, unless you tell recovery to wipe your internal sd. When you do a wipe in a custom recovery, doing the factory data reset will wipe everything on /data and /cache but it will leave the internal sdcard partition alone.
OK, I figured something like that! Thanks
