The thing is, I installed the CM11 (did all wipe data/factory reset and wiped cache) through CWM and it shows ''install from sdcard complete''. Then I am trying to install the GApps file, but it shows that there is insufficient storage. Previously had the original firmware. I have flashed ROMs before, but this stupid mistake happened for the first time, I did not free space for the installation.

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.
Hi,
I've just sucessfully upgraded my phone from Gingerbread to JB (JellyMOD).
I did follow all instructions to factory reset before installing the ROM in recovery.
But when the phone loaded up, the system storage was deleted as expected, my SD card (16GB) was untouched as expected...but my USB storage (which keeps all the application data I had) was not touched and still there although all my apps were deleted as supposed to be.
Is this supposed to be correct? Can I leave it there or would it cause future problems?
I followed this tutorial: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2198341
And installed this ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2170925
When wiping in TWRP I chose "Wipe Cache", "Wipe Dalvik Cache" & "Factory Reset".

In my experience that is exactly how it normally works. Your SD card is not wiped/formatted via CWM/Recovery mode.
You can un-mount & format it from the "storage" option in your phone. Note that the "USB Mass Storage Enabler" app, if you use it, seems to interfere with this and should be disabled before formatting.
are both taking about internal SD,NOT external sd

when u used cwm to wipe, the screen shows the partitions and folders been wiped.
u will notice it does not wipe the whole internal sdcard.
u need to use format to wipe all the data.
i9305 says internal storage full when i just flashed a new rom
Hi guys, I'm genuinely lost on how to fix this issue.
Essentially, my i9305, rooted- running pacman rom (stable) android 4.4.4, says that it's internal storage is full. however, I've just flashed the rom onto it. I have cleared the cache, dalvik cache and wiped the phone (through rom manager, cwm) and re-flashed the rom and it persists to say this. When i went though each folder and added the bytes up, i should've had around 9gb available, yet is says i only have 656mb.
I believe the issue lies in the "/data" partition, is it possible to wipe it?
Please help!!!

Are you make backup with TWRP (or cwm..or other recovery)?
Download Clean Master and find big files who kill your memory (after clean, uninstall app)
There have been several threads about this in the past, but I couldn't find one which is actually up-to-date.
I have been flashing my N7000 for years now. I've been using several custom recovery menu's and ROMS and re-partitioned my internal storage as suggested here. I currently have the following installed on my phone:
NightOwl 20151030
PhilZ Touch 6.59.0
ClockworkMod v6.0.5.1 (as shown in PhilZ)
What I would like to do is perform a full, 100% wipe of my phone before re-flashing the same ROM I currently have installed, perhaps even update my recovery or whatnot in case my phone would benefit from it (suggestions are welcome).
The original instructions from the NightOwl thread mention the following when you want to manually update:
1. Copy Rom to your sdcard.
2. Boot into recovery
3. Flash the Rom (in current versions you dont need to reflash the gapps)
4. Wipe dalvik-cache and format the /cache partition (This will not delete your apps or data)
5. Reboot

As mentioned these steps will not remove your apps or data. I understand that a "factory reset" does. However, I still wonder if this (including a factory reset) will actually wipe my phone 100% clean before flashing a new ROM.
That would be the following options in recovery
Factory reset to wipe data and cache
Format system
And if you want to wipe internal memory then format sdcard0.
Be careful of where you have the zip file of rom to flash again.
In CWM, go to "Mounts and Storage" section and there you'll find options to wipe totally everything.
