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.

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！

Did u try formatting the internal SD card, which erases all the data in the internal SD card? Did u try manually deleting those 2 folders?
Also use format /emmc in cwm. This will erase the internal storage
there are several partitions, best to search on what one thing does before you do it, it might save your phone.
read about using safe kernel to do that.
Hey everyone,
My friend gave me his tab p1000... but I cannot seem to remove apps or even google user account even after i have:
- Reset the phone
- Flashed stock rom v5 ROM with ODIN (with repartition and also flashed dbdata).
- I also tried NAND Erase All, which soft bricked the tab but i was able to get it back.
Even with all this, all the apps are still there.. when the tab loads up.
The Apps keep crashing every minute though.. so they are not stable.
--- Things Note:
1.
After flashing stock rom, when it enters recovery i get the following errors:
part(1): Checksum error
MMC verification failed
and
cannot find: /preload/app folder
2.
There are some weird files under the internal memory root folder that cannot be deleted.
Well you can delete them but they come right back up when you remount the internal drive(16gb).
Also the application folders cannot be deleted.. they reappear once you remount the internal drive.
the files are:
- Copy of Shortcut to (1/2/3/4).lnk
- glweax.exe
- glweax.scr
- x.exe
- xxx.dll
- zjroic.exe
- zjroic.scr
-xjdqob.exe
3.
There is an app called - Perfect Applock - that might have something to do with this.. Not sure.
I have read in forums, to put the phone in flight mode and restart it, then try to go to app manager within 30sec to uninstall the app.
i tried that but it still doesnt work. the App still exists..
btw, i have also tried removing the apps via app manager, that doesnt work. although it says sucessfully uninstalled.
when you reboot the tab, all the apps are present.
4.
I installed root app using superoneclick so that i can install a root explorer app - but it kept crashing.
---
My guess, is that there is a virus, or something that is recreating the apps. or not granting access to where the apps are stored (guessing in /preload/app).
i have read forums and some people said it might be a faulty internal storage.. i did the checks(some commands using adb) to verify but it was negative.
so i dont think the internal storage is bad.
Right now i am stuck... the tab has stock rom v5 installed right now.. not rooted and with 3e recovery.
any help will be greatly appreciated.. thank you in advance.

correct me if i am wrong.. but isnt wiping a rom the same as flashing a rom??
i have flashed the stock rom.. and the apps werent deleted.
if its not the same, then how do i wipe a rom??
---
Just to add, i have noticed that i cannot format the internal storage.
- tried formating by phone (settings > sd card and device storage > format usb storage). it completes but nothing gets deleted.
- tried formating from computer, - it doesnt complete.
- tried formating with partition wizard.. it completes succesfully but nothing gets deleted.
Hence i think the issue is - something is preventing access to internal storage..
is there any app/adb command that i can force format the phones internal storage??
Stubborn data/apps is a sign of internal storage going bad.

Formatting from computer formats your sd card..and no, flashing a rom via recovery does not necessarily mean a data wipe...try following ChrisCTX's guide...search for it

Hey Gogol,
thaaanks a lot. The guide worked after several tries.
Main problem was flashing cm9 pics rom. It wouldn't complete. But I kept trying and it worked.
I now hv cyanogen mod 9 with ics. Using the tab to reply right now.
One issue tho is that the camera cannot store in internal storage. It needs an sdcard.
Is there a work around on this.
I looked under settings-storage and the internal storage is recognized.
And also under camera settings internal storage is chosen as storage location but it cannot save there.
Any Ideas? Guess I Have to find a way to make internal storage and sdcard storage the same.
Thanks

i forgot but it looked for a guide to switch or exchange internal and sd-card.
so the tablet will think its using the internal storage but its actually using the sd-card.
its somthing like this:
If you take a root file browser and edit /system/etc/volb.fstab, there are two sections you need to edit. "dev_mount emmc /mnt/emmc" changes to "dev_mount emmc /mnt/Edvard" and "dev_mount sdcard /mnt/sdcard" changes to "dev_mount SD card /mnt/emmc".
i cant confirm this is what i did.. but i am sure i edited the volb.fstab... i had to google around for a while till i found one that works for me.
make sure you backup your volb.fstab before you make changes.
Note: i found cyanogen mode to be slow running from sd-card.. so i changed to a regular gingerbread rom. and i was able to edit the volb.fstab with sucess.. and the camera was able to save pics.. the tablet just always had the - NO SD-CARD icon at the top all the time. coz it thought the sd-card is the internal storage.. and the internal storage which i removed was the sd-card - which i destroyed.
hope this helps.
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..
Hey so my phone fell off this morning and i thought everything was alright, then i restarted it and it would only access to the CWM 6.0.4.7 recovery mode, i've been trying all things, wipes, when i hit wipe data/factory reset, it resets at the middle of the process, if i try to backup/reinstall rom from the external sdcard it fails giving me an "Status 0" error, i can only assume this is happening because of the fall...
What can i do?
Please help, really desperated
Someone please help? it's very needed and i'm in a hurry

Maybe the internal SD card broke because of the fall.
If that's the case then the only thing you can do is to install a ROM in the external SD card.

Also, the recovery menu only apperas if i have my external SD inside, if i get it out, the cellphone just gets to the Samsung Galaxy S screen...

Okay guys im reading but i really don't understand, i'm a completey ignorant in this topic, i don't want to screw this but i really don't understand anything...
Can someone help me? After spending the whole night reading i finally did it and i restored my phone back to the stock rom installing it in my external SD, i made two partitions, one of 10gb in fat 32 and the another one 4gb ext3 (used this for the system), but now i can't use the camera because the "usb storage is connected" and the external sd cannot be mounted...
why is this happening? please help!
desperated bump
Also, i have some backups made with the CWM recovery but i really can't advance if i don't have the sd...
Read this.
You tried flashing Stock? If that doesn't work, take the device to a Samsung Service Center.
