Wipe all data

Simple question, I have pictures videos and back ups that don't want deleted when I do a factory reset, do I need to back it up on my PC or????

Depends on what you are talking about if you mean while in a custom recovery then no you don't but if you are unlocking your boot loader or you are using a stock in rooted ROM and are just pressing factory reset from settings then yes you should back up

I'm on stock ROM with cwm recovery the latest, so no I shouldn't?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium

I would actually LIKE to delete everything when I install a new rom. I have used all the wipe data setting i could find in recovery and I always end up with a bunch of stuff left from the previous rom. Downloads etc.
Is there something I am missing?

Are you talking about the factory reset within Jelly Bean? If so, then that wipes everything as far as I know.

Most (all?) custom recoveries should have some type of option to format sdcard.

In CWM, the wipe data/factory reset option will *not* wipe your virtual sdcard.
You can do a wipe in recovery, and the /sdcard partition will remain intact. I was worried about this before unlocking my bootloader too
However when you unlock your bootloader *all* of your user data will be wiped from your tablet
This includes your apps, setup, homescreens, sdcard, photos. It will be like having a brand new tablet
The downloads folder is on your sdcard. You may be able to edit the updater script or something to wipe the virtual sdcard directory when you flash a rom

Thanks from me also.
I did wonder why there was always stuff left over. I guess in some ways its handy. It just feels like doing an in place upgrade of windows rather than a clean install when theres old data still there.

LOL no, otherwise it would be too easy
You also cannot have the $25 credit twice, as in if you bought 2 N7's using the same google account
I had 2 because one was faulty and I only got 1 gift card
Wiping your tablet will not lose your $25 though, thats stored on your google account. You ca use it with any android device hooked up to the same google account.

Back again.
I know this is sort of the reverse of the OP but at least its related.
If the rom zip is on the sd card then how can you format it?
Or do you just do regular wipe, install then format sd?
I have Clockwork Mod Recovery 6
Is this written out somewhere else?

Yes, just do the regular wipes first, install the ROM, and then format the sdcard.

Which recovery do you use? CWM or TWRP?

Which do you use and why?

I would love to be able to use 4ext. But Nexus 4 seems to be on low priority now.

I'm using the stock recovery but when I need to backup or flash something I boot into CWM.

I couldn't agree more, i put in a request for max to port it to this device ages ago, when my back ordered N4 eventually drops through the door, I'll get back on his case as it was without doubt the greatest recovery ever (all credit to cwm where due obviously)
4 ext, had the ability to stack multiple complex wipe, flash, restore and backup operations into one step greatly simplifying the flashing process, was also rock sold in my experience.
So until then will monitor this thread

I don't have my nexus yet but on my gs2 I'm using twrp. I had cwm touch and liked it, it worked pretty good. But I like the twrp format better and I think it's easier to navigate. Also you could name your backups on twrp unlike cwm. Last thing is cwm I usually have to wipe and flash wiping scripts like darkside for some roms and twrp you don't have to.

Using CWM at the moment but will be switching to TWRP soon once I get back home to my computer.
Edit: Oh now I see that the goo manager method is working, will be installing TWRP tonight =)

I think he meant that there is a "wipe all (except SD)" button that includes the boot partition. It's quite useful. TWRP doesn't have that.
I used 4EXT recovery touch on my Glacier. Purchased the updater. Great recovery. Used all the same folders as cwm, too. All apps designed to work with cwm worked with it, too.

CWM works flawlessly so i see no need to switch. But originally when deciding between the two, TWRP had overheating issues so with CWM I went.

Fixed with a kernel change. I've used both. I see cwm being like iOS. It's simplicity makes it easy to maintain. The core features everyone NEEDS are there. TWRP is more feature packed, more on the bleeding edge. More features means more chances for bugs. But that's the price you pay to be on the bleeding edge.

TWRP...FTW!
The 2 reasons I use TWRP
1. Flash multiple things at once
2. Set backup name

TWRP, I'd rather use touch and CWM touch is more of a hassle to install unless you pay.

CWM for one reason and one reason only: stability.

Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium

I've never had a single problem with TWRP, I have no idea why some people think it's unstable

My N4 is unlocked and rooted, but using factory recovery so that it installs it's own OTA's when it gets them. I have to manually update the tablets in my house and it's getting to be a hassle(and I'm lazy).

What Recovery do you use?

I use CWM. Tried TWRP, but I didn't like the interface and all those complicated stuffs. I like to keep it simple.

TWRP way more intuitive than CWM and it isnt complicated at all.

I'm using TWRP. I used CWM on all my previous android phones but thought I'd give TWRP a go since a lot of Nexus 4 users seem to use it. Still havent decided which I prefer, although TWRP has an anoyying bug that means you cant copy nandroid backups off your phone via MTP unless you change the file permissions first.

i like TWRP more... its more intuitive and i like its design more

Teamwin...CWM has lost it's way, buggy and incomplete, even for the paid version.

Non touch CWM all the way! The old skool navigation just simply works.
Also last time I checked, CWM ran through backups/restores snappier than TWRP.
For terminal/file manager I use Aroma CWM-app and therefore get the best of both worlds
Sent from my Nexus⁴ using Tapatalk 4 Beta

Was on CWM for a long time and now switched to TWRP....TWRP gives options like clear cache, dalvik, factory reset, basic things to flash a new ROM in one go. Simply more intuitive and better design.

Always been a CWM man, apart from the wonderful days of 4EXT (which started as a cwm based recovery and became one of the first recoverys to be touch enabled, added a vast selection of incredibly useful features and incorporated a user space app that was way ahead of its time) back on the htc desire s, apologies got sidetracked there...
Now on the verge of moving to TWRP but waiting for the copy bug that's in 2.6 to be resolved first..
So glad the old school tap tap tap was replaced with touch.
Good thread, certainly given me the push towards TW.

I never flash recovery - no need when nexus devices can boot into them directly. If I'm doing an upgrade/root I'll generally use TWRP

I went TWRP ages ago when it was the new kid on the block in my Nexus S days.. The advancements they made in a short time and excellent support (being available in most device forums) makes its second to none for me.

After noobing with CWM I moved to TWRP and never looked back.

Go into TWRP Recovery choose "Wipe" -> "Format Data" -> then type in "yes" -> "go"
After reset is finished restart the phone normally. That's it.

Lost Storage
I had the same problem. Tried several different methods to try to recover my storage. I too performed a format from TWRP and gained my storage back.

Guys, I have this problem.
My wife has a N7 32GB. Some months ago, after flashing some roms, I discovered that the N7 only had 16GB instead of 32GB. But in the meantime I never had the chance to "reformat" data partition or flash a factory image. Wife didn't want me to fomat it!!!
Today, I was finally going to do that, flash a factory image, but discovered that the usb connector is broken!!! The tablet charges ok but when I connect it to my pc, it starts to constantly connecting/disconnecting to it. I tried 3 different usb cables and the same with the 3. I even open the tablet and tighten the usb port, because it was very loose, but even then it still does the same. So, I don't have any chance to flash or send commands via my pc. (can I send them via wifi?! )
Can I just go into recovery and format/wipe data?!
By the way, from all the stories that I've seen from this problem, on bootloader, mine says Flo 32G and not 16GB like most of them. Can a simple wipe data do the job?!v Hope so...

When I installed 5.0.1 on my 2012 N7, about 10GB of my internal storage mysteriously vanished (I was getting disk full errors with only 2-3GB of stuff showing up in disk usage) and wiping the userdata partition fixed that.
I really do not like how half the fixes for Android issues tend to involve having to wipe devices, especially considering how there is no simple built-in method to do complete and timely selective backups and restore. To get anything resembling that functionality, you need to unlock the bootloader, root the device, install SU and a third-party backup tool. (Doing backups with TWRP might be easy but it is not selective and editing the tarball afterward can get messy.)

Help.confuse? 8gb or 16gb

My friend gave me his nexus 4 and never told me that the fone was rooted and its capacity..so now im confused, i check the custom recovery installed by pressing power+vol down and some sort of lying android logo shows and ask me what to do and at the bottom of the screen shows 'mako' thing..so now i check the unit how much memory does this phone has after restoring it thru recovery mode..i wipe cache aswell..so now i go straight to the settings and check it but it only shows 5.67gb total internl storage and 2.65gb free of space which is not normal to atleast 8gb nexus 4 has around 6gb less than 7gb internal and 5gb less than 6gb useable space.so the question is, how can i determine whether my fone is 16gb or 8gb even that i already had rooted it and i think he also put a custom rom aswell. i already search it and shows that some other nexus users getting the same problem or error as mine.btw im at kitkat 4.4 update
Here are my about phone screenies:

Only way I know to make sure is to format the data partition.. Can do this in custom recovery or fastboot OEM lock/unlock...warning you will lose all data, so backup.
Sometimes 16GB GB n4's get formatted incorrectly when upgrading os.
16GB should have @12GB free space and 8GB ones @5.7GB.

Ill try that one..that 5.7gb shows only in total internal memory and not the free space.and i notice also that theres alot of junks that when i did restore it thru recovery they were still there thats why they keep on eating up my space so i just did manually deleted form their folder using file manager..

When you boot into the bootloader using volume down+power you'll find a couple of informations at the bottom. One line tells you whether its the 8 or 16gb model.
Also some files on your storage (eg backups from recovery) may lead to faulty numbers in the storage section of the phones settings.

No. Software and hardware is the same, they just differ in the capacity of the storage.
Remember that your 8gb get reduced by the space needed for the system. 8gb doesn't mean you have 8gb free for usage. It means you have 8gb minus the OS, cache partitions, data partition. About 5gb should remain for generic storage such as pictures, music, video etc if I'm not mistaken.

Lol damn dude you formatted everything? You really need to read the stickied posts. They are prerequisite reading.
Anyway, your first screen shot says 8GB.
When you format everything (I assume you formatted each partition), you lose everything stored on it. Everything. The OS is gone.
But all you have to do is install a factory ROM from adb or something similar. Let me go do a quick search and I'll be back.
Also, know that this isn't the phone or OS's fault. You went rogue and started doing stuff you didn't understand the consequences of. It happens, but it's nothing that can't be fixed.
EDIT: Here you go. Read through this guide. I can't reiterate this enough: read carefully and read to understand. This isn't literature class. You need to know what every sentence is telling you to do.
Basic summary: download 4.4.1 ROM for Nexus 4 and make damn sure you download the one for the Nexus 4 (mako). Install Android SDK. Boot into recovery. Specifics on these steps are located in that article. You will need to follow the link on how to sideload. Don't worry if you don't know what these words mean. The link is love. The link is life. It's written such that a young child could do it without assistance from an adult.

This is definitely assigning fault to the wrong party. Root isn't why you reformatted your storage and lost everything. It's because you didn't use Google to search for any of these answers. You could have solved your original problem by simply searching "How to tell nexus 4 8GB or 16GB."
It's possible that the internal storage was improperly formatted during a ROM flash, but it wasn't. I still can't understand what the hell your original post says, but I'm pretty sure you just misinterpreted how much space would be free.
The solution to this is to FIRST acquire the ROM you want and know where it's located in your phone's storage. THEN format the offending partitions or flash a zip or whatever you need to do to fix the problem (I don't know specifics since I've not needed it, but I'm sure I could find it with Google). THEN you flash your 4.4.1 ROM and if you go, never to return.
So in case you run into any problems with your car, I highly recommend against trying to fix it yourself. It doesn't sound like you'd be very successful. If you do, you'll probably end up with a hunk of scrap metal or a far more expensive repair job.

So i was planning to start all over form scratch..like everyone else is suggesting.so i have a little question..
From 4.4 kitakat and im planning to flash a stock rom 4.2.2 downloaded from google,is it possible?or do i need to stick to 4.4 like what i already had before this things happen..?
I was actually reffering only to this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2010312,maybe i think the most easy way to flash stock.

I've tried different "fixes" and my internal storage always ends up with 5.67GBs. So, what am I to believe my phone should have?

I heard there's a bug in nexus kikat update about shrinking storage issues.u better stick to what fastboot details has. U may want to try do a data format and clearing cache to resolve the issue.
