I searched but couldn't find an answer.
When I did "wipe data/cache" through Recovery, I thought that it would format the internal SD, but it doesn't.
Rather than me just deleting everything in the SD from Windows, is there any other automated way?
Thanks.
I think you could just unmount the internal sd and format it from the phone settings before flashing...

Remember this will remove everything from the phone, all aps, data, system settings etc.
I would format the internal SD memory through the Settings > SD card and phone storage > Unmount Internal SD Card and then format SD Card.
Turn off the phone.
Remove the SIM and External SD card then flash with a new firmware. Ensure you click repartition.
After flash, format again the internal memory if you wish.
Switch off and insert your SIM then start again. Enter your google account details to enable the Market again then download the aps.
Wish you luck with it.

So this will work right?
Your last sentence has made me a bit uneasy.
Yes it will work.
If you don't wish to flash the firmware just do the format of the internal SD memory as previously described.

my phone has been ****ty lately, loading programs slowly, even when there's only one program running, music playback freezes, etc.
i'm thinking of formatting it and starting over, is this a good thing? How can i back up my contacts before formatting?
****
this is not a good thing
if you choose to copy your contacts, the phone only ****ing copies some google contacts bull****. so it copied all the email addresses i already have, but didn't copy a single ****ing phone #.
now i have to fiddle with the stupid thing to get all my settings ideal, manually enter all my contacts by emailing people and asking for their # then figure out why my screen dims and undims every few seconds. plus it won't even let me change the wallpaper
I only had a small microSD when I rooted. I ordered a bigger card. When I get the new one can I just copy the files from my original card to my pc and then copy them on to the new card? Maybe a dumb question..I am new to rooting.
I have Titanium backup,what do you recommend should be backed up?? I will have a 16gb card coming. Should I back up everything?? Thanks for any help you can give me. Great forum..I am hooked1
Yes, you can simply transfer the files from card to card. I do it all the time. You don't even need to employ titanium backup at all unless you are changing or reinstalling roms, or doing a factory reset and re-rooting. If you ARE doing that I would suggest doing the "Apps + Data" batch backup. This will restore applications in there exact state.
But if you are just swapping memory cards the only thing I would suggest is that you take advantage of any backup to-sd card features your apps might have before you copy files from one sd card to the other. Then you can restore anything that apps might save on your sdcard(which Titatium backup by the way doesn't save anyways).
I am cloning my SD card with Win Imager and putting it on another SD for a friend to make their life easier. Is there a way, once cloned, to delete all my data from this cloned SD card? I was going to reset the nook color to factory defaults with the cloned card in it, but I am not sure if this my data stored on the SD or internally on the nook. When I put my card back in I want all my data to be present still, just cleared from the clone. Is the account info stored internally or on the SD?
Also, I do not want to lose all my app progress.
So, I would like to clone a card for a friend but make it so they don't get my emails and have all my user data tied to the SD card I am sending them. Is this possible?
Any help is appreciated!
UPDATE: new problem. Wiping data doesn't work. I want my account off the card but nothing works. I select factory reset and erase SD. It finishes, restarts, and my email data is still intact. CM7 is booting from the SD card if that matters. What the...
Why not just create one from scratch. It takes half an hour, especially if you did one before?
Do your friend has his own NC? or using yours also?
Deleting accounts.db from data/system will delete all google accounts from the phone and *should* take access to the associated data with it. Removing the other app data is probably trickier. Don't do this on your NC before you have a backup though.
