[Q] Question about Wipe Cache/Parition.

hmmm will it delete all files my phone memory and also internal memory card?

don't think anything off the recovery menu touches sdcards in any way.

why not? /// i want to clear everything internal phone then put new firmware//
is that possible?

yup, just go under settings and format your sdcards, then wipe cache and perform a factory reset. then flash away.

[Q] formatting internal memory

hello everyone,
i tried to google but didn't manage to find a way to format the internal memory of my Milestone. is it possible to do this?
i currently reverted to stock rom from Cyanogen7 and i'm trying to clear everything and reflash cyanogen/stock. i tried to do factory reset from recovery but it only delete user data.

From OR (Fufu)
Wipe Menu
If you want to clear everything.
wipe Dalvik cache,
wipe cache,
wipe data / Factory reset
wipe Ext - partition if you have one.

For access internal memory just for rooted phone, but for u come back to stock ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=696845 ) rom u need flash a device. If u want a install CM ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=941346 ) , u need run update, this script do evertihng! If you have apps in a ext partition, u need format this partition, "wipe ext".

[Q] Wipes and formats

One question, maybe noob ...
When we made flash a new rom from recovery, we made the wipes;
- Wipe cache
- Wipe Dalvik
- Wipe data / factory reset
But
I notice that when you make the wipe all data / factory reset, the system partition is not formatted, it influences the functioning of the new rom?
For sure, I always do the formats in "mount and storage".
- Format cache
- Format data
- Format system
Thank you! Hugs! :silly:

I only
- Wipe Dalvik
- Wipe data / factory reset
I thought when I do wipe data, then I delete the cache.
Sometimes I wipe SD for delete cache & thash of deleted apps.

Ok.
And the system partition?
When you wipe data / factory reset, the system partition is not formatted.
As I know the main files are in the system partition.

In my experience that is exactly how it normally works. Your SD card is not wiped/formatted via CWM/Recovery mode.
You can un-mount & format it from the "storage" option in your phone. Note that the "USB Mass Storage Enabler" app, if you use it, seems to interfere with this and should be disabled before formatting.

are both taking about internal SD,NOT external sd

when u used cwm to wipe, the screen shows the partitions and folders been wiped.
u will notice it does not wipe the whole internal sdcard.
u need to use format to wipe all the data.

[Q] Factory data reset - does it wipe everything?

If I do a factory data reset, will it wipe all the files on the device or just the data folder and settings?

It wipes the data partition which also contains the sdcard..well, thats if you have stock recovery anyway.
