I have a question. Maybe a noob one. But I'll appreciate the help. If I do a factory reset and wipe system, cache and data will I loose the files that are in the phone usb storage? Thanks

Ive found the only way to loose the stuff in internal sd card storage, where you can put your files is when you format usb storage, in sd card menu... Also i think odin repartition does it, but not sure about the second one.
If your worried about loosing it why not just comy it to your computer, do what you need to then copy it back

I accidently wiped my memory and it wasn't backed up. I can 'undelete' these files if I can only attached my phone to the PC as an external drive to read the internal memory.
Is there anyway to do this. At the moment my SGS, when I plug it in, it basically comes up as a mobile device in Windows. I need it to come up as an external device.
How did you wipe? With CWM, a code in the dialer or with Odin (Re-partition)?
Well, I used re-partition, but my personal files was still on my internal storage, so then I used the phone's factory reset and it erased everything. There was one file I need that I forgot to backup.
usb mass storage mode was on......files were being transferred from computer to phone

Try factory reset with erase usb memory 4m backup & restore option

Hey, as of now I got 1,15GB of available internal storage, no external SDCard or anything.
But hte problem is, I only got 1.15gb left of my internal storage, I barely have anything on my phone! No huge ROMS, or any other big files.
I've heard that formatting the SDCard would work, deletes pretty much every file on my phone.
Will I still have root/CWM doing this? And how do you format your SD card?
Thanks!
download solid explorer, you can grab the properties of your internal storage and it'll give you a breakdown of what's using up all the space.
And should you need to wipe your internal storage you can use Megawipe a utility developed by one of the guys here on xda. It will clean Everything pretty much a windows disk format use with caution and have a flashable rom to flash via odin or on an external card to flas via cwm recovery and of course back up your data first! Google it to find it if thats what youbare looking for.

Hi
I am having an issue where when I am transferring files from my PC to the phone via USB, it disconnects after a random amount of time. Then in system settings/storage both the internal and external sd cards are not showing and phone runs noticeably slow. After reboot the sd cards show again.
This is how I installed the Mod.
1. Backed up all my app date via Titanium & copied all personal items off sd cards onto PC
2. Reset phone & formatted USB storage.
3. Via Odin, installed 2.3.6 stock, restarted.
4. Via Odin, rooted with CWM.
At this point, this is where my phone was before, only clean.
5. Booted into recovery and wiped data, factory reset & wiped cache.
6. Installed Cayanogen (cm-10.1-20130507-NIGHTLY-galaxysmtd.zip) via recovery.
7. Installed Google apps (gapps-jb-20130301-signed.zip) via recovery.
8. Reboot x 2.
Now phone is working fine. Time to transfer files to SD card
9. Connected via USB and started to copy files from PC to External Sd card.
10. Transfer starts successfully but stops after an undetermined amount of time (Have attempted multiple)
11. A Message appears on my computer that "The path XXX is no longer available, retry? cancel?"
Now when I "Unmount USB Storage" from the phone and go into System Setting/Storage, both the Internal & External cards are not showing. Also, the file explorer will not show any data when opened, it keeps searching. A reboot brings back the SD cards, but doing a file transfer from the PC starts this all over again.
I heard this could be a issue with EMMC & external_sd? So I mounted SD card 1 (External) to the "external_sd" folder via "ISC SD Binder" to no avail.
Please help, apart from this I really like this ROM! I don't want to have to go back to stock...
No one?
Hi there, have u problems in formating your SD card (Phone)?? It will erase all msgs photos images apps etc but you will have a fresh rom installed. You can backup ur photos and stuff to the pc or external card though. Just go Settings / Backup & Reset / factory data reset enable Erase SD card and Reset phone

I have a fresh rom installed. Not personal data.
The issue I am having is that the phone is loosing the USB connection when transferring file while on CM 10.1. Then the Internal and External SD card do not show up in system storage.
No issues whatsoever with 2.3.6 stock (Rooted)

Yes But did you do the factory data reset in the settings/backup&reset after flashing the cm 10.1? Also active android debbugging in developer options and try it if u didnt yet.

Yea I did that.
What's happening is when the phone disconnects randomly during file transfers, the phone thinks the USB and SD storage is still mounted in the computer.
Only rebooting the phone will unmount them.
No problem transferring to the USB storage, only the SD.
I have given up on this issue. I like the ROM so I just remove the SD card and insert it in my laptop when I want to transfer files. Which thankfully, isn't that often.
Still... Would be nice to not have to.

Thanks, will try that.
But usually its quicker to transfer via direct connection or cable than wireless, even if I have to un-mount the SD card.
Okay I don't know how I fixed it but I just transferred about 7gb of MP3s to my device using wmp12.
The only thing that has changed is that recently installed super nexus milestone 1.
Happy chappy!
Hi,
I'm unable to access some apps moved to my external SD. I think the card is corrupt, what will happen if i format it? will i loose my app data that i moved? will i loose my saved game states? please note that i'm unable to write files to external SD even via a USB - PC connection! but i can read data ( watch videos ) on external SD, no write protect in the card. Tried reboot, dust the card and put back in.
Also uninstalling apps installed on phone memory doesn't clear space, i'm running out of space on my phone memory too :|
And if i do factory reset, does the firmware also get reset to stock ROM? Please help!
No root, stock room.

before you format the sd card make sure you have ticked the keep backup of this device option in backup settings. This is save all your app data on google servers and when you reinstall the same app the data will be retained.
factory reset will delete all the apps that you have installed and will make your phone as fresh as new. you will not loose any ota firmware updates of rom.
