If you wipe data in recovery mode, it'll wipe everything. Everything.
I mean in custom recovery, if it will wipe everything even the zip in sd card then how can we actually flash rom? Sorry for my silly question, cause my previous phone can use sdcard which don't got this problem....

If you wipe data in recovery, it doesn't wipe your photos or music.
It only wipes your apps, system apps and their data. Also resets the phone.
Then only way you wipe your photos or music is if you go to;
mount and storage > format sdcard.
WHICH YOU DON'T WANT TO DO!
So if you want to flash a custom ROM;
In your recovery you;
Wipe data & Factory Reset
Go go Advance > wipe dalvik cache
Flash your ROM.

Thanks, that's mean it's just the same way as defy, how about how about flash a kernel? Because as defy's boot loader are locked, we can't actually flash a really kernel, just the 2nd boot kernel

Well if your bootloader is locked, look around the development thread for the nexus 4 utility 1.3.0
That unlocks, roots, install recovery and all sort of stuffs.
To flash a kernel to a stock or custom ROM;
Boot to recovery
Format Cache
Format dalvik cache
Flash
Reboot.

what would i have to do if i wanted to wipe my sd card? stock clean??
i've taken up 2gb of data because i tried to make a system back up but i've done it like 3 time and i can't find the backup zips so i just want to clean the SD card back to the begining without messing up the system data since i'm not flashing anything new
I have the same doubt. What is the best way to format SD card?. I did it once and had to inject the ROM with computer using ADb. Any alternative?

I rooted with casual and have the recovery installed. My question is I supposedly full wiped and flashed Goldeneye. My issue is it didnt full wipe because when I go into internal memory all the crap that should be gone, its folders are still there taking memory so I have to manually delete. Am I doing something wrong ?
When I had my htc a full wipe meant a full wipe Everything gone. Dont understand why its not happening on my s4.

most recoverys are set up to format data without touching the internal storage. this is a feature, not a bug. if you want to wipe internal, go to format, then format internal. easy peasy

Here is what I do when I flash a ROM. I am a bit OCD for flashing cleanly.
1) Boot into Recovery
2) Wipe Data (Factory reset)
3) Wipe Cache
4) Wipe Dalvik Cache
5) Format /System
6) Format /sdcard
Then I flash my ROM. Those steps will definitely clean everything out before you flash. Especially formatting /system and /sdcard.

just make sure you don't have anything you care about, like Roms or nandroids, in /sdcard.
fwiw this isn't a CASUAL issue, its a TWRP issue.
Awesome was looking for the correct way to do a Total Full Wipe in recovery.

It's a little over kill. Just need to wipe the caches and data. If you wipe system, just make sure you do it before you flash a rom. And make sure you flash a rom before you boot. Wiping system and then rebooting is detrimental to your phone.

Ya it might be a little bit overkill, but atleast this way you know everything is cleaned and wiped before you flash your ROM. I hate dirty flashing ROMS, so I prefer to be really thorough.

It might be overkill but I like to make sure its a complete wipe even if I have to overkill it. Thanks all for the replies.
EDIT: DO NOT FORMAT INTERNAL if you have twrp the part where you have to type in yes. You will have serious issues and will end up ODIN back to stock to repair. If you format internal in twrp phone will not boot up. You can enter recover but if you power off phone will not boot up again.

What do you mean by reset?
Basically you have 3 options
1- Format data in cwm
This will keep your current rom but wipe all user data - it will be like you have just flashed rom
2- flash different custom rom
in cwm format system data and cache
mount system data and cache
flash rom zip
note some roms require certain kernels to boot
3- Flash stock rom via odin
wipes all data and returns phone to stock ie first time you switched it on

Just flash it to stock and flash the kernel n rom again
I have a SGS3 and a Nexus 7 (012). if I want to flash a rom or anything in SGS3 I go to CWM and do a full wipe. Previous to this I download all I want to flash on Extrenar Sd card. so what ever I wipe on CWM or Teamwin I am sure I have the rom to flash.
But N7 does not have a External Sd card. so where should I put the rom I want to flash before I do a full wipe.
I have found myself doing a full wipe on teamwin and therefore cleaning the rom I wanted to install. leaving my self with nothing to flash. and a brick, than I headed to WUGfresh, but thats not the point.
so what is the proper way to flash N7 or any device that does not have a External Sd card?
thanks
Do a factory reset. It wipes /data while excluding /data/media. You don't need to wipe anything else.

thank you for info.
So I been installing Rom's lately on my rooted lg g2 D801. I was wondering if there is a way to do a full wipe that clears the storage side as well or would that brick my phone?
Well what custom recovery are you using. For example im using twrp and under wipe you click advanced and check all options including internal storage. Why do you want to do that? Youd then have to push your rom and files via adb in fastboot mode. I wouldnt do that ,but its been done.

You might have old roms you downloaded before installing you could delete. You could also have nandroid backups taking your space you could delete. Try installing nandroid manager from app store and see if it finds backups taking up space and delete them

What I do for a full wipe (with TWRP Recovery) is wipe system, data, dalvik, and cache - Flash my rom and gapps - and then wipe internal storage

Best way is to every now and then use USB otg. Move a backup to it or when you are about to fresh install a ROM put everything on USB otg and then wipe everything including internal. Then install ROM and gapps or whatever and you will have a super fresh internal storage. All folders and misc. Stuff left behind from multiple flashes will be formatted and you will have only what you need

I'm currently using Purity Rom and I want to erase internal storage.If I do a factory reset/full wipe from recovery mode, nothing happens.All my appz and files are still there.How do I do that?
Update your recovery and wipe again. Also there is a option in your settings if you just want to wipe your data
A custom recovery purposely does not wipe the sd card. If you want to wipe that, in twrp, go to wipe, advanced, and wipe the internal sdcard. Cwm has something along those lines too.
