the "repartidion" does what it says, also wipes out everything in the internal SD
Re: odin questions.
Odin's repartitions will erase the data of your internal partitions similar to doing a full wipe in cwm .
data in the internal sd such as music pics etc etc are not touched . ext sd is also not touched .
No, they are not deleted internal memory and external

I flashed Darky 10.2 with ODIN with re-partition ticked.
However, it does not wipe any contents in internal SD.
so all my music, picture, etc are still there.
Is this normal?
Then how should I flash to be most clean?
Also, factory wipe does not wipe internal SD too.
it get rids of setting and my app but not pictures or music in internal SD.
I was wondering if this is normal too......
I am using Bell I9000M
Yes, both normal, why? Do you want to loose everything?

Good to know that my phone isn't acting weird.
Though I am kinda worried that the files in internal SD happened before lagfix was applied (stock) and new files to be added will have lagfix applied.
Wouldn't it corrupt internal SD?
Hi dude,
Don't mix up internal SD and internal memory.
Internal SD keep your personnal data like pictures, music and more.
Internal memory hold the OS, recovery and more.
Odin only works with internal memory.
In answer to your question, it's completely normal. If you want to wipe your internal SD, use recovery menu and choose wipe personal data or from android system, go to settings and look for storage menu, you can format internal and external SD from that place.
Kind regards
Hi, friends. I flashed a few custom roms and kernels, also quite a few applications. Now I want to start fresh with a new custom rom and installing afresh applications. I do not know what kind of folders and files are in Internal SD card (accumulated over a peroid of time). Can I format the internal SD card, just before flashing a new rom. if so how? thanks.

If you are on safe kernel then yes you can format your internal sd card. Just go to SETTINGS>STORAGE>FORMAT SDCARD(INTERNAL STORAGE)

Yes you can format as above said by sahil, but make sure to copy DCIM folder, if your camera having default setting and your snaps are there. Same way copy any other folder, which you have manually create/edited like music/videos. Rest of folder will recreate as system need.
Another alternative is to mount in windows and format there, as Dr k said keep the dcim folder.

note that on some kernels, the emmc and sdcard are swapped, so format sdcard can sometimes wipe external.
Happened to me unfortunately a couple if times so take caution and remove external and format both to be sure

Hi All,
I have done repartitioning to my N7000 (using 16GB internal + 16GB ext card) with Odin with PIT file & the required *.md5 and used the 10gb Data partition PIT file.
But after reboot the application partition completed, but the rest partition not showing and giving error of "Blank USB storage"
I have tried to connect with PC to format it, but also there the partition is not able to format.
Kindly help if anybody have faced the same issue and done some solution to restore this internal memory.
@vikashrastogi PIT file is usually flashed aside and together with an entire stock firmware.
I have no clue how could your phone survive such attempt

Hello!
Yesterday I found a fact, that my Note doesn't want to use my internal sdcard for applications storage ("Android" folder) anymore. The problem is that my external sdcard formatted for use with NTFS, so i can't update any app which automatically installs part of themselves to sdcard. without unmounting external sdcard before.
So, how can I get back my internal sdcard for using as default storage for applications installation, if they need it? THX!
Okay, i tried to wipe data and reflash LRK 4.0.4 ROM with mobile ODIN, I also tried to format internal sdcard and it doesn't helped too. I still can't move apps to internal sdcard as before due of insufficient space, despite i have about 4 gigs free on it.
Hi guys!
Last week I flashed @bagyusz's 5.0.2 ROM. After that day i noticed something. When i connect the phone to the PC it only shows me external sd card.
And also i looked it on recovery and there was only one storage (sdcard0) and actually it was my external sd card. I think the ROM disabled my internal storage and recovery sees my external as main storage.
I can't access my internal storage and i want to install a new rom with PhilZ recovery. When i choose "clean for a new ROM" option, what will it delete? Will it wipe internal or external? nd i have important things in my external (photos, music, documents...) will it touch them?

Please Please PLEASE read Rom´s OP
In bagyusz roms internal storage is merged with /data partition so no media storage , so external sd card is only media storage
and in philz recovery option to "clean for a new ROM" just wipes data, cache,system it will NOT touch your external SD-cadr
The 5.0.2 of bagyusz rom has the feature of merging the internal storage and /data. You may search in his thread and find how to disable this feature, and that involves modifying framework.res. So if you're not familiar with android development, I propose CM11 nightlies for they've been enough stable for daily use. Lollipop is still in test now, you know.
Hi,
It's my first time rooting/flashing and I have 2 questions
1) where on the phone should I keep the ROM and gaps files,
On the SD card or can I leave them on the internal memory?
2) using twrp (this is the installation not a ROM update) what wipes to i need to do, is cache and dalvik and data good enough ? Or also system and internal storage? (And will it not delete my nandroid backup and my rom and gapps?)
Thanks
Hi,
to answer your questions:
1.) save rom and gapps on external sd card. You can also save them on internal memory but when you wipe everything those files are gone too, unless you exclude internal storage.
2.) If you come from stock it is recommended to to wipe everything, even data and internal storage. You can move those files (rom, gapps) back onto internal storage in recovery. Nandroid backups should be saved either on external SD card or PC, not on the internal storage. One wrong wipe and your backup is gone.
If you want to flash a custom rom there is no need to root your phone - just flash a recovery and you'e good to go
