Hi there!
How is the correctly way to reinstall "CM10.1 native emmc" on my nook? I have have installed 10.2 and want to delete all user data. I´ve tried, but real racing 3 has the right version, after installing.
I have tried following methode:
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache
wipe dalvik
--unter mount & storage (auch Recovery):
wipe/format cache
wipe/format data
wipe/format system (am wichtigsten!)
wipe/format preload
Preload was not to find in my cwm.
Then I flashed the new file an d wipe cache wipe dalvik cache.
My personal game data was still on the nook.
Can anybody tell me, how to install any version of cm by deleting all data?
Greetings from germany (please forgive me my bad english)
Yes go to mounts and storage and format 'data and datamedia'. That gets rid of your media files too (where that game data is stored).

What's the difference between doing a Factory Data Reset and doing a wipe using CWM.
I'recently rooted my Note and now have CWM installed.
I plan on trying a few different ROMs (both newer stock ROMs and eventually custom ROMs) and read in most instances to per a wipe before upgrading.
I was wondering which wipe to use.
Also, if I install Titanium Backup, will it save everything including Contacts, Network settings, icon layouts, webpage favorites, appa and everything else?
Thanks

Cant say surely about the difference between factory rest of data and CWM wipe. But can surely say to flash any rom you need to CWM wipe all the data and cache and dalvik cache from the recovery.
And Titanium Backup is for backing up and restoring all your apps and their associated data and market links. It doesn't backup contact (should auto backup to your google account or use any contact and sms backing app from market like - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.idea.backup.smscontacts&feature=search_result) or
layouts . Icon layouts you can save by going to the backup settings of the launcher you are using and favorites you can again backup on your sd card.

CWM recovery wipe cache, is just wiping cache files not data
while CWM recovery wipe data n Hard reset from setting - privacy - erase data(factory reset) is same
CWM function is useful when you unable to boot device normally.
Where is dalvik cache located ? Because if it's in the data or cache partition, then I don't see why I have to wipe dalvik cache after wiping data/cache...

System apps' dalvik-cache in /cache
Data apps' dalvik-cache in /data
Hence just by clearing the cache you clean the /cache space of system apps and not the dalvik cache of data apps.
So you require to do both - clean cache and clean dalvik cache.

Factory Reset will change your Android ID. Some apps with custom DRM may stop working. Factory Reset is also incompatible with some ROMs and causes some apps/files installed by CWM flashable ROMs to disappear.
I think both are same. Both format data and cache partition.
(that is why devs warned not to perform FDR on affected kernels)
With FDR you initialise the command from booted phone.
CWM Wipe is what you do from recovery mode.

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.

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".
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.
Ty for support.:laugh:
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

Howdy.
I was wondering what's the correct procedure to do a complete, total data wipe of the phone.
When I do a full wipe, cache wipe and a dalvik wipe, all the data still stays intact on the phone. I want to start anew.
Also, if possible, I'd like to fix the external_sd bit so it's actually the sd card and not some directory on the phone (if I recall this was a JB "upgrade"?)
I am currently on a PhilZ Touch Kernel running LSC.
Thank you!

when I want do a full wipe, and start from scratch with new custom rom I do the following:
-make sure that you are on safe kernel (which you probably are)
-make sure that your new rom.zip is on the external sd card (because you will format your internal sd)
-backup your pictures, music etc... from internal sd
-reboot recovery
-wipe dalvik cache, wipe cache, wipe data,
-then go to mounts and storage and format: cache, data, system, preload, emmc(is your internal sd card, first do backup of important stuff), and that is enough, be careful to not format external sd (where is your rom)
-thats enough wiping
-install rom.zip from external sd,
i hope that helped
i dont know what you mean by external_sd is directory on the phone (maybe because of folder icon in stock file explorer "my files"). Can you describe it little bit more
Najlepsa hvala
Looks like the sd issue got fixed with the new rom as well. Awesome.
