[Q] Is there a way to format the internal storage? - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I got the 32GB version a couple days ago from letstalk, after that, i s-off and rooted my one right away and get custom recovery installed. But once I want to format the internal storage of my phone, i didn't find any words like "format internal storage" in recovery menu. So is there another way to do this?

which recovery are you using?

Can I just install this over the current version of cwm Im using? Will it effect my current rom?
The new recovery from thecubed (5.5.0.4) let's you pick between internal and external(default). If you're using another recovery for some reason then just use a file explorer app to cut and paste from one location to the other.

I am using an older version of CWM. All I want to know is can I just install the new version over my old version without returning to stock or loosing current rom.

have you read the recovery thread?
does it specifically say you have to return to stock?
recovery has nothing to do with the rom, so no, you wont lose it

I did read it...it didnt say I needed to but the instructions were talking about installing it right after you unlocked the boot loader, so I was making sure I didnt have to go back and start the whole process again.
Thanks for making it clear!

HTC Vivid SD Card?

Hey Guys, a friend of mine has a HTC vivid and his SD card was fine until he started installing roms. He currently has Pacman rom and his SD card will not mount anymore. It mounted previously before he flashed the rom but now it doesn't.

If you would listen instead of being a **** to ppl you would have seen some including me have told you to try formatting it using twrp recovery and see if it mounts. Don't come here demanding help. Use the search and see if its happened before too

For the record..and even tho I get the feeling there's a troll in our midst..I'll offer one piece of advice: the PAC ROM has had the SD mount issue fixed for awhile now. My recommendation? Flash the PAC ROM.. then go be happy. Being rude won't get you any positive feedback in these forums. You take all responsibility when using software found on xda. If you don't fully understand what's happening..use Google and read..read..read.. and if that doesn't shed any light for you on the subject..maybe custom ROMs are something you should just not try to mess with.

Hey MG, thanks for the advice. I had the same problem earlier today, and tried TWRP. Fixed it right up. I finally got brave enough to root and rom my HTC Vivid yesterday, and between SD Card Problems and Wi-Fi problems I had begun to think I'd made the wrong choice. I've rooted and rom'ed phones before, but almost never my daily driver. This was my daily driver, so again thanks! And OP the link for TWRP is teamw.in/project/twrp go there have your friend follow instructions precisely, and all will be ok. And friend... chill... it's nothing to get po'ed about. As a note the fastboot was the easiest method for me... and quicker too. If you don't know about fast boot look around on the forums and there's some great info about it. Cheers!:highfive:
btw sorry for no direct links... I'm still an XDA Forum Noob

Not really a helpful response.. I'm quite aware it says that, as I've already stated that in my original post. Once I have flashed the rom and other file, do I flash the boot.img file before or after restarting the phone?

Internal SD Card recognized but will not mount!
Hey,
I recently rooted my HTC Vivid (ATT) and installed CyanogenMod version 10-20131006-NIGHTLY-holiday. Everything works fine but I cant get the internal sd card to mount. There is an option in the storage setting that say "mount internal sd card." When I press that it appears as if it is mounting then it Apps, Pictures, videos, Audio(music, ringtone..... etc. Almost right after you press that it goes back to the mount sd card button. I have flashed the boot.img, used the terminal emulator and still have the same problem! I would really really (and just to drive it home) REALLY appreciate it if someone would help me with this!
If you need more info or would like to contact me to help me just email me at [email protected]
You can also just message me here if you wish.
Lemme guess... You're using CWM...
If not... I bet you factory reset from hboot

so when you boot to recovery, what does it say? Is it TWRP, CWM, WCX?
In all likelihood, you've lost the data on your internal storage. Rignfool has posted a fix for this issue countless times, and a quick forum search should come up with a topic where he outlines how to fix it. It involves mounting your phone via the recovery, and letting your windows computer fix/format the internal SD.

Its WCX. Sorry to be so naive but I looked and could not find Regnfool's post. Could you send a link to a few of them? I dont know if this helps but what I want to fix is the apps that use the sd card. Some apps that I know stored info on the sd card on my stock rom will work but are reset after I am finished using them. So bassically apps with save data half work due to this issue. Once again this is the first time I have ever rooted and installed a ROM so im a "rookie" just needing help.

Not a problem! It's an issue a lot of people (including me) have run into while doing stuff. Just count yourself lucky your charge port was working! (mine was not at the time, and was much more of a headache).

Wiped my internsl memory by accident.

I remembered a little while back a thread to get me back and running. This is for my htc one. Anyone know the link. I hit the search bar and I think I just too nervous to focus and find it.

Use ADB to sideload a rom then you can transfer your TWRP backup to the device and go from there.
here is the guide to sideload
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2318497
Don't you have to physically type yes in to wipe your internal memory?
can't you just boot into recovery, mount Internal memory, copy ROM into your phone and flash the rom?
I have never been in that situation but what about this:
I know that in TWRP recovery there is an option to acces USB OTG. I have one of those little adapters that I connect to my flash drive to save my nandroids and stuff like that. If you wiped your INTERNAL and EXTERNAL storage would you simple be able to mount the USB OTG and flash a ROM from it?
I'm guessing that it wouldn't be that simple...however, if anyone has any actual info on this please share.

Sorry to hear that. He must have gotten to recovery somehow and wiped everything. The easiest way is to flash a new rom from usb storage, much easier than sideloading (need drivers, etc). And next time better add a lock code [emoji6]

Can you get to recovery? If not than probably your kid flashed a gsm rom and the partitions got messed up. If so, look here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2503646
