Odin re-partition

I have a question. That Re-Partition option delete your photos, music and videos e.t.c?

I believe it does. You might want to move anything important over to an ext SD just to be safe...

How do I completely wipe my SGS, Including Internal storage (2Gb) and Internal SD (5.78Gb), so that i can do a clean install, after deleting all old system files, configurations files and so just like we do in a PC?
Cheers

Via recovery if you have a CWM: wipe data,wipe cache and wipe dalvik cache
Via PC you may format SD card..when you flash a ROM with Odin you wipe the internal sd

[Q] S2E and Recovery

Hi all,
So if I have S2E running in my CM7 and I have dalvik cache & data relocated to the SD Card, before I do a cache and data wipe in Recovery, do I have to move the cache and data back to the phone's internal memory first? Or Recovery is smart enough to know that these were moved on the ext partition?
Thanks.

Does anyone know?

No, you don't have to move it back to wipe it.

I9001 full phone wipe

I have few questions for wiping the phone?
A lot of time passed since I bought this phone, and there are a lot of garbage in sdcard and system itself? I changed many ROMs, and I want to breathe new life to phone.
I am interested in following CWM functions:
format /system
format /cache
format /data
format /sdcard
format /emmc
Will it erase everything and everything from the phone and sdcard, including the system?
Will this remove CWM and Root?
How to flash new system again, when I am not able to boot?
Is above procedure same as this, except that in this case, I am able to boot latest installed system?
- wipe data/factory reset
- wipe cache
- wipe dalvik
- format sdcard
- format emmc
What about code *2767*3855# , what is included under this type of wipe/reset?
Thanks

This just wipes apps. When you format /system it won't boot so you can only install a new ROM or restore a backup.. And no CWM won't be deleted..
Most ROMs format system automatically. But when you upgrade from GB to ICS you should format system and wipe data, cache and Dalvik cache.
And about the code, it's called a hard reset, same as wipe data in CWM.

How to restore backup when I formatted sdcard?
Is it safe to format emmc, and what is purpose of emmc?

Emmc is external SD card, I don't really know if it formats all(music and stuff and apps) or just apps. But i think formatting in CWM wipes apps only ..So better not format it .. no ROM requires formatting SD or emmc
And you should always save backups on your PC..but if you format SD I don't think it will wipe data

[Q] T599 Internal SD Formatting

I have the T599N phone with the newest clockwork recovery installed. I noticed my internal sd card is a complete mess and understand that it's not formatted when installing new ROMs. What's a safe way to format it? Does formating it through the clockwork recovery work? I don't want to brick anything. Thanks!
EDIT: It worked, in CW recovery I formatted the /data/media/ (sdcard) partition and it cleared out the internal memory perfectly.

Yep it'll work. Wipe cache and dalvik cache while you're at it too.

Flash customer ROM

I first time using the phone have no SD card. When I flash the custom ROM need to wipe the DATA, where I put the customer ROM for install.
Thanks

Hi
Just put your rom.zip in the root of your internal storage, wipe data is only wiping data partition not your fully internal storage, except you choice to formatting it..this will erase your internal storage.
