Hi,
I've just sucessfully upgraded my phone from Gingerbread to JB (JellyMOD).
I did follow all instructions to factory reset before installing the ROM in recovery.
But when the phone loaded up, the system storage was deleted as expected, my SD card (16GB) was untouched as expected...but my USB storage (which keeps all the application data I had) was not touched and still there although all my apps were deleted as supposed to be.
Is this supposed to be correct? Can I leave it there or would it cause future problems?
I followed this tutorial: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2198341
And installed this ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2170925
When wiping in TWRP I chose "Wipe Cache", "Wipe Dalvik Cache" & "Factory Reset".

Running into issues while trying to install phiremod. Went into the recovery menu, followed instructions completely, it installed fine, rebooted device and it looped me back to recovery menu (CWR wasn't burned to SD, it was installed to the Nook). A few posts recommended that I format boot too, and now instead of having the recovery menu loop, I am stuck with a unit that doesn't power on. Help!
Same problem here. Followed the instructions to the letter, and now the Nook keeps booting to the ClockworkMod Recovery screen...even with the SD-card removed.
Is it that we were supposed to do something else to the Nook before attempting the install?
By the way, I used Clockwork Recovery v3.0.0.5 from the SD-card while installing.

May try wiping cache and dalvik cache if you haven't tried that already.
OK, n00b question: what's a 'dalvik' cache?
[NQUOTE=swordsaint;11459824]OK, n00b question: what's a 'dalvik' cache?[/QUOTE]
When you are in recovery, you have the option to wipe cache on the first screen. On the advanced screen you have the option to wipe dalvik cache. I am not totally sure, but I believe it is cache that is directly related to your apps. The other is more general in nature. Wipe both.
Also WTF. USB storage wont mount in Phiremod. What kind of **** is that?
OK, guys...I finally fixed it.
1st, I used the CWR Removal tool from this thread, and then went through
the installation steps carefully again, but after the install was completed,
I removed the SD-card, THEN rebooted.
Problem solved. (Didn't need to mess with the caches though)
Happily playing Angry Birds just now just for the heck of it.
Is there any way to access the Nook's internal storage to put music,
movie files, etc?
Hello,
To make a long story short
Probably one of my installed apps is causing this problem I have (app2sd)
A few days ago I always got this "force close" msg for ALL of my apps.
I decided to factory reset - although it worked ALL the apps folders were not deleted from internal memory
BUT the apps are not there realy, just the folders.
I did a hard reset, the same.
all the info on the INTERNAL MEMORY comes back after any type of reboot.
Tried to FLASH and reinstall the ORIGINAL STOCK. -- NOTHING it doesn't work, I mean the new installation is but the apps' folders are STUCK on the internal memory of the phone.
Any help?
How can I really format the internal memory? flash it totally? I can't even re install the apps again from market, it doesn't let me.
help?!

If you are currently on Gingerbread 2.3.6, go into menu> settings > storage and format your SD card and settings privacy> to do a factory reset and erase all than try power down and boot into 2e recovery to do a wipe data and wipe cache and reboot phone to download mode and re-flash the ROM again and back to recovery again to wipe data and cache
Hello,
actually I have CM10 on my SGS. But recently the SGS has a lot of crashes when I'm using it. I want to completely wipe the phone(not just Data Wipe...) and then install CM10 again. How can I do that?
Like factory format, including wipe all the settings, apps and also files from the sdcard? If so, then you can type this code *2767*3855# (it won't ask for confirmation).
I think factory wipe is the same as "data wipe" in CWM. That won't help because I do a data wipe before flashing a new rom.
Format everything in "mount and storage" in CWM
I think the same

i think it will be good
The thing is, I installed the CM11 (did all wipe data/factory reset and wiped cache) through CWM and it shows ''install from sdcard complete''. Then I am trying to install the GApps file, but it shows that there is insufficient storage. Previously had the original firmware. I have flashed ROMs before, but this stupid mistake happened for the first time, I did not free space for the installation.
There have been several threads about this in the past, but I couldn't find one which is actually up-to-date.
I have been flashing my N7000 for years now. I've been using several custom recovery menu's and ROMS and re-partitioned my internal storage as suggested here. I currently have the following installed on my phone:
NightOwl 20151030
PhilZ Touch 6.59.0
ClockworkMod v6.0.5.1 (as shown in PhilZ)
What I would like to do is perform a full, 100% wipe of my phone before re-flashing the same ROM I currently have installed, perhaps even update my recovery or whatnot in case my phone would benefit from it (suggestions are welcome).
The original instructions from the NightOwl thread mention the following when you want to manually update:
1. Copy Rom to your sdcard.
2. Boot into recovery
3. Flash the Rom (in current versions you dont need to reflash the gapps)
4. Wipe dalvik-cache and format the /cache partition (This will not delete your apps or data)
5. Reboot

As mentioned these steps will not remove your apps or data. I understand that a "factory reset" does. However, I still wonder if this (including a factory reset) will actually wipe my phone 100% clean before flashing a new ROM.
That would be the following options in recovery
Factory reset to wipe data and cache
Format system
And if you want to wipe internal memory then format sdcard0.
Be careful of where you have the zip file of rom to flash again.
In CWM, go to "Mounts and Storage" section and there you'll find options to wipe totally everything.
