I booted into TWRP to flash AOKP and when i was wiping the system partion it crashed and now the system partition wont mount. I'm at a loss. I can't flash anything because the system won't mount.
anybody have any suggestions? thank you
i'm on the latest version btw.
Yea, seems to happen easily. Don't know if its the device or TWRP.
You can install a factory image, restore a nandroid backup, or flash a new Rom using a flash drive/otg cable.

Sounds liked you formated. When changing the base rom, all that I ever do is factory reset, which will wipe without touching data/media. If flashing a rom with the same base just cache/dalvik. The virtual SD card is stored in data/media. If it was formated you erased your stored zips, and you'll have to fastboot a new zip into it. If you have anything stored on an external thumb drive, sd card, etc you also can transfer one over that way.

Does that work in twrp. It doesn't recognise my laptop when its connected . says something about an otg error ...
You can always flash using fast boot though

I keep all my nandroid backups on my 32gb usb flash drive for emegencies as described by the op. You can then restore from the usb flash drive/otg using twrp.

Agreed user error can accidently wipe the sd card, but sometimes twrp crashes and will corrupt your storage and it won't mount. I think that is what the op is describing.

I would like to ask that when I wipe data in recovery , what will actually be wipe, will my photo or music be wipe?
Sent from my MB526 using xda app-developers app
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.

Unlocking bootloader will wipe EVERYTHING on your phone.
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?

Hey guys, just got the 32gig nexus 7 for Christmas and I love it! I rooted and flashed cyanogen and it's nice, but I would love to try other roms. I have bought titanium backup and made a back up, but I've hit a wall here in my logic - since there's not external storage, won't wiping the data delete my back up?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
I don't believe it will because the storage for you stuff is actually labeled as /sdcard/. I know that my One X does not wipe my "sdcard" data when I've flashed from Sense ROMs to CM10 and the device is built pretty much the same with onboard storage.

No, wiping data only wipes /data, as the name suggests.

If you use TWRP, do NOT format data. Hit the factory reset button and it will wipe everything except /data/media which is where your emulated SD card is. Since you're interested in trying other ROMs, why not try MultiROM? It's quite stable and very functional. I dualboot PA and CM10.1 at the moment and I will be adding more later if I feel like setting up another one.
Here's a link for MultiROM recovery: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2011403
Don't be intimidated, it's actually quite easy to install. Just flash the zip then fastboot install the modified TWRP recovery. Easy peasy.
Hello,
I had AOKP ROM. Now, new build of slimbean was released so I want to flash slimbean. I flashed it but I found a lot of folders and files from AOKP in storage (yes, I did wipe - format via TWRP). How can I format storage and then flash slimbean please? I want to delete all from my nexus 4.
Thank you
Factory reset in twrp won't delete the contents of your internal sdcard. Use the format data option to do this. Keep in mind this is not necessary to do when switching ROMs.

Already used format in TWRP. Used Nexus 4 ToolKit for flashing stock ROM, then I used Nexus Root Toolkit for root and now I'm flashing new slimbean via TWRP. Hope, all will works fine.
I know, it's not necessary but I don't like files from other ROMS in storage
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.

Hello ,
im running mm pure 2.8 and i have a lot of stuff on my phone
how can can i wipe all those and reinstall the same rom ?
like installing a rom on a new phone
:S
Easy.
Backup your apps if you wish with TiBu backup your SMS and call logs with SMS backup restore.
Backup data if you want to format phone memory or SD card.
Download new ROM you wish to use.
Boot into TWRP then wipe advanced select what you wish to do. If you wipe internal and external you will need to put the ROM you downloaded onto a USB and USB otg and flash the ROM through TWRP or remove sdcard put it in your PC and copy ROM to it and flash that way. Then you will have a fresh phone and then restore everything back.

first off all thank you
so i can wipe every thing and install the rom from memory card without installing a fresh android M ?
So your running 2.8 TruPure ATM. Just download the new update of it from the thread. Then if you want to format your internal or external memory you will need to backup photos music videos etc if you want to keep it. And again like I said use SMS backup restore to restore sms'. Then use TWRP to wipe what you wish. Then reflash. But really if your not sure your better searching and reading up more before you jump into rooting and flashing custom ROMs etc if you don't understand the basics.
