Hello everyone i been searching and browsing the forums but cant seem to find the solution on this phone, i havent been able to factory reset my phone in years..
I have tried a thousand things factory reset with phone on formatting in CWM and doing a hard reset no matter what i do i can still se folders on my internal card from old apps and stuff..
What can i do ?
I dont care if i have to do something drastic and start over from the beginning because i have lost alot of space this way..
I hope someone can help me..
Find format internal sd card option in cwm, that will completely erase internal sd card content. You can then flash kdz to go back to stock , or flash another rom from external sd card
I will try that and sorry to everyone for posting in the wrong forum like a ******* noob i thought i were in the question forum..
I dont have the format sdcard option but i have a format system option is that the same thing.. ?

I actually fixed it, i formatted everything except system in cwm.. Went back to rom and did a factory reset AGAIN and then like magic everything was perfect.. !
I think there were some corrupted files in one of the folders that i formatted with cwm..
Thanks for your help guys..

well i am not alone anymore.
No not alone on this one. Have flashed with Odin is no work. but I have a feeling that theres something wrong with my internal SD card. Is there a Fix for corrupted SD CARDS For Galaxy S. Can you try to format in windows Fats or do I need Linux. I have formated from phone and from kies, my folders go away but when I reboot the phone is back the same with all my folders back again. please help if any ideas. thanks
I've had this one before, needed to format my sd memory (int and ext). All was well then.
Hey guys,
after flashing my branded Vodafone i9000 to Froyo via Kies & RegHack I did a factory reset because I wanted to start fresh.
Now, my internal SDCard is still full, plenty folder of old apps.
Do you guys know any SAFE method to clear the SDCard? Or can I just format the SDCard before I install any apps? Did Froyo saved there in the initializing process any information?
Regards from Germany!
format directly works！

*2767*3855# this will delete everything, i prefer to do this before and after i flash a firmware, i think most of the people here have problems after flashing cause they don't do it

dont do it!!!
i did it for this time and now it keeps vibrating once and then three times after boot logo! going to recovery tells me something like media blablabla cant copied ... have to use ui menu to format internal sd ... format internal sd through recovery mode doesnt help ...
any suggestions on this?
So I know when flashing roms sometimes it will erase the SD Card, Okay well I forgot about 5 pictures I had taken and was like oh well, so when I went to go load all my stuff back on it, My SD card is empty but it says 6GB is being used, which is about right what it was but there are NO files on it... Where are the files??? Using Root explorer and show hidden stuff on the computer still dont know where the files are at....
did you flash a 4.2 rom?
I wanted to try out cm mod. Then went back to stock 4.2.2 I don't care if I lost some stuff. But its Stikl there but I can't see it.

i know that your suppose to wipe before flashing a 4.2 rom.
the file system is in a different spot so it leaves the old system there.
I do not know how to get back the free space beside formating and reflashing the system.

Ive already formatted system and it still shows stuff stored there.
Not to sure then.
Only had the phone for a week so haven't gotten use to the file system yet.
I just know it's set up different from other phones.
I had the same experience also... what I did was I went to CWM recovery and format /sdcard and I did wipe user data/factory reset...
This was happened when I flashed 4.2.2 onto 4.1.2 without wiping anything....
transfer everything from your sdcard to your computer then format sdcard in cwm and transfer your files back and they should be in the right place
Ive got the same problem. Stock rom never rooted, "OTHER" in storage taking up 6.7GB.
I have looked at clearing junk files with CLEAN MASTER app but my cache files only takes up 33mb.
Did anyone look what "OTHER" in storage was when they got their brand new phone? Does Sense 5 really takes up over 6GB?
EDIT:
A few people confirmed that the phone have about 26GB of space out of 32GB brand new, so yeah Sense 5 DOES take about 6GB of space!

ummm.. SWAP IS NOT SD-EXT MEMORY you know it, right?
So you can format your sd in fat32 format and then you should re-partition it again using the correct kernel/script

boot into recovery wipe cache
wipe dalvik cache
do not to factory reset cos you may get a bootloop
in link2 sd clear cache and refresh
also if you use root explorer you can go to system to app and delete unwanted things but do it only if you know what you are doing
you can also delete lib files which you think are unnecessary also be careful here bcos you may get a soft brick if you delete something important in that case if nothing goes right place a custom rom in your sd card and install via cwr
please hit thanks man
Hello everyone,
I am facing a wired problem on my GT-N7000, after flashing new rom with wipe data and factory reset, all files in internal storage remains intact. :crying: i want to format that internal storage completely because there are so many junk files like, snote files and other application files which i don't use so can anyone please help me out?
Thanks in advance.
I have the same problem.
Using stock rom (no root access) I can format/factory internal SD card.
As soon as I'm rooting the device I can't do it anymore (from recovery's menu or Android).
I installed CM11 but no better luck.
Please help us.
