Can't factory reset

Hey guys,
Trying to wipe my phone and running into an issue. When I go through the process my internal SD card unmounts and the phone doesn't wipe. When I click it again I get a message saying "SD Card unmounted." Any idea fellas?
Any ideas guys? This is kind of urgent!
if you have a unlocked bootloader flash a fruitcake. Make sure to wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition & dalvik cache first in CWM recovery.
haven't modified the phone
Glinting settings and storage, you should be able to mount it in there. Try again afterwards.

[Q] how to flash roms without losing data n files?

Alright guys I feel very nooby asking this but this is my first device that doesn't have a sd slot. Is there a way to flash a Rom without deleting the download and titanium folders?
My steps prior to flashing are
Wipe data, cache, n dalvik
Flash Rom
Then wipe cache n dalvik again
But if I wipe data then the Rom zip would be deleted before I can flash it?
Please help me on this thanks!

Hi,
Make only wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition and wipe dalvik cache, tat's all then flash your rom and reboot.
Don't wipe anything related to sd card/ext sd card or internal storage so you keep all your files in your "sd card" intact.

This won't happen on your LG G2. Even when using CWM you can see it is looking for an external SD card in the command line when doing a Factory Reset. You're internal SD card is never touched.
When you flash a ROM just:
Factory Reset
Flash Rom
Obviously make a backup first if you're worried, and you may need to flash Gapps depending on the ROM you flash.
understood, thanks guys

safestrap format internal sd

i tried to format internal sd card and it wouldnt let me. im guess its not possible?
Unfortunately, we can't use the FORMAT function in safestrap!!!....to clean wipe you can...go into Wipe then do Factory Data reset and then go to Advanced Wipe and wipe System/data/cache/dalvik cache...thats enough!!!
But if you want to completely wipe the phone...follow this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2610757

TWRP won't remove encryption

Hello everyone,
I am running 3.0.2-2 on the SM-G935FD and for whatever reason TWRP won't wipe the encryption, thus I cant read the internal SD card. I am getting the " /data mount" error.
I have done the advanced wipe and cleared everything except the external SD, am I using the wrong TWRP? any ideas?
You must wipe data! Wipe it all internal storage!

I had same issue on G935F. Try advanced and format data in twrp. The option where you have to type yes. If not then flash stock recovery, factory reset and boot into download and flash twrp before booting into system to flash dm-verity zip.

...have you tried cursing/threatening/random acts of violence on inanimate objects? no? well BEFORE you do, advance wipe, wipe system/data/etc, reboot, or there are ways to reformat as ExFat with a PC too.
