I have about 12 gigs of music on my phone and I was wondering whether there was a way I could flash a new ROM without without losing the contents on my virtual sdcard. I remember when I first rooted the phone it deleted everything. Does anybody know if that would happen again (and how to stop it) if I flash a new ROM. And please don't say "put it in your computer"

Flashing a rom won't delete your contents. Just avoid selecting 'format internal storage' or something similar in recovery. What I do in recovery before flashing a new rom is:
Nandroid backup
Factory Reset
Wipe System partition
Flash new ROM.

Should "format /system" be used when flashing a new ROM or no? Asking this because I don't want to risk my phone again.
Sent from my MB886 using xda app-developers app
I doubt it matters. Most rom installations that I know of start out by formatting /system. I guess if you do, and it fails, you're left with a blank system, but it might help the flashing, I'm not really sure.
How do I completely erase EVERYTHING?
Somehow, not everything is being removed when I erase everything in settings. I am running CM 10.1 Nightlies and I have no memory to be able to copy another ROM over. I only have 700mb left. I have tried factory resetting in recovery and erase everything in settings.
Any and all help is appreciated, thank you.
Hello everybody,
I found the file that was taking 26GB, it is located on /dev/block and i can't seem to delete one of these files, how do i go about doing this?
Here's what I would do, flash the Rom you want (wipe data, caches, and system, then flash) then when your up and running format your sdcard and see if that fixes your problem.

How do I do USB OTG?
Purchase a usb OnTheGo around 3 dollars.
Save the ROM in a jump/usb drive.
Open recovery
Connect it to you phone
Select install from an external sdcard (CWM)
or
Select USB OTG - make sure it is selected (TWRP)
Install the ROM.

when I flash a custom Rom on s3 my all media like song video photos in sd card
now htc one now have internal storage no sd card slot my all media is deleted if I flash custom Rom
any solution for that
Sent from my HTC One using xda premium
Your media will remain unless you choose to do a full format when you flash a ROM.
if you wipe data from a custom recovery then your internal storage will not be wiped.
Umm if you unlock bootloader your data is wiped

Are you on stock kernel? I would do a nandroid backup, wipe everything except SD and then restore
I would also try to reinstall recovery image as well. Sounds like something with the read/write got corrupt

ok guys this what happen.
i plan to refresh my phone. so i installed ARHD ROM with fullwipe, after that i formatted my internal storage thru TWRP.
after that, im stuck with the HTC Logo with the red warning.
i never thought that will happen since i installed the ROM.
i can still use the recovery TWRP but i cant do anything. the phone is totally useless.
i tried reinstalling in thru OTG by mounting it, but still to no avail. is there anyway i could fix this? i really need help.
my phone is running tha latest ARHD 52 (4.4.2)
i dont have any back up
If you can boot into twrp you can use ADB to push a rom to your internal storage then flash.
