[Q] How to format the internal sd card correctly

Hi,
I'm using a HTC one, which is rooted, s-on, unlocked. I'm also using maximus hd 13 rom.
I want to completely reset the content on the internal sd card. I already tried to format the card via cwm wipe and during aroma installer using full wipe. But afterwards my sd card is still not clean, all the stuff from before is still there.
How can I get rid of those sd card content?
thanks in advance,
Chris

Well I can tell you from experience that it's a lot easier than I thought it would be. I actually use TWRP and what I do is install the Rom I want...then format the sd card in recovery and reboot. It's that simple..at least for me. Now for cwm I think there's the option for to format sd..not just wipe..but I can't remember the setup off hand...I'm thinking the process would be exactly the same

Hi,
I've installed maximus 13 an hour ago, doing all wipes I found
I also use the factory reset in the android settings.
At the moment I'm looking for format options in cwm and I found the following in "mounts and storage menu":
- format /cache
- format /data
- format /sdcard
- format /system
- format /external_sd
- format /data and /data/media (/sdcard)
should I try these options? If yes, all of them? In which order?
I can't imagine that it could be so difficult to get your sd card clean

okay, I've done so and it looks good. Do I have to reflash the maximus rom now or is it possible just to reboot the phone and everything will work fine?

Just reboot. U should now have a clean storage.
The others (system and data) would wipe your Rom and user apps.

I don't have TWRP either, but it should be under advanced and read something like "format /data/media"

I ended up just installing clockwork mod and the wipe worked fine but I have still ended up with sdcard\0 and sdcard\legacy is that normal?
On the plus side I no longer have a copy of everything in both.

You should have /data/media/0 and /data/media/legacy
/sdcard/ is only a symlink to /data/media/0
You should be good.

You need to provide more details
- what rom are you using
- of what you did before this happen.
- And by "usb storage" to you mean it is an internal sdcard or external one. I guess it is internal?
One easy thing you can do is to flash PhilZ kernel suitable for your rom. Then from PhilZ touch recovery you can format internal sdcard. Speedmod Kernel is very good but the recovery it uses is outdated.

I do nothing before that it just happen
Yeah I mean internal sd not external one
If i flash philiz recovery how I format the internal ?? Just by wiping data , cash and delvic or what??

Go into "Mount and Storage menu" and choose "format emmc" it will format your internal sdcard. You will loose all the data on it like photos documents...
Before format you may want to check if Philz Kernel help solve problem by it self and no need to format.
And which rom are you on? you should choose the suitable PhilZ kernel for your rom.

Thank you for repling me so quickely I will check and tell you

Questions with flashing between rom

Hey nexus heads. I'm a little confused over directions after root. Do you wipe everything between roms including internal forcing you to backup each and every time pics etc....I'm not a noob but never had a non external storage phone before. Im used to external sd card options.

External and internal storage are same thing. When they mean wipe, it's just the wipe portion of twrp. Your internal storage never gets wiped unless you tell it to in advanced wipe or if you format userdata in fastboot for encryption / decryption

After switching roms do you have to decrypt each and every time?

No you don't, unless the rom ships with a kernel that has force encrypt.

Noob Question. How to flash from Internal Storage?

This is my first phone that only has only internal storage. I need to double check before flashing any custom roms. Is there a partition on the phone that you guys save the custom roms to or does it not matter. I was thinking about saving it to the DCIM folder since its easy to find. My fear is that the rom will get erased when we clear the cache throught Teamwin recovery. Btw my phone is bootloader unlocked, rooted and has tw recovery installed. Tia.

Just copy it to the internal storage on the phone. TWRP does not erase internal storage when you factory reset.

Custom recovery do not wipe /data/media on factory reset, which is where "internal storage" is located. But you can wipe it with the "Format Data" option.

Even I had a similar issue. I've never had a device without a SD card.
So if I flash twrp and then a custom rom do I lose things like photos,media on my phone?

You only lose data if you unlock your bootloader. Or if you format the data partition. Flashing a rom and factory reset via TWRP does not erase your files.
