Does anyone know how to mount the internal storage while you're in TWRP so the computer recognizes the phone as an ad card? The only choices are system, data, and cache.
Uh bump? Same question.

Im trying to format my internal storage. It seems there is always data retained after deleting everything from the internal storage in windows. So before i do another clean install of a rom i want to start fresh. The problem is when i go into Philz and format /sdcard it isnt doing anything, the retained hidden data is still there. Is there a easy way to format it and start fresh? Cheers
I have a similar question, does formatting internal sd also wipe everything (except system) from root (/)?
Hi guys,
I've got a lot of junk folders on my INTERNAL storage that have been left by old apps etc.
What is a safe way to format the internal storage?
When the internal storage is formatted, will I have to reflash recovery/ROM etc?
Cheers
Why not use the Wipe function in recovery? It securely formats your internal storage. It means all your app data will be gone, though, and you'll get a clean phone, as if you've just got it.

Go under mounts and storage in Philz, you will see option to wipe internal sd there. It's called format data as far as I know.

in recovery go to mounts and strorage and select format -data sd card- not sdcard1 (this is ext sd card)
you dont have to flash the rom again.
Into the abyss.
Also, does formatting remove all partitions that may have been made on the disk? If you are flashing roms they change what on the system, and the card(s) are left alone, correct? I'm just getting an SPH-710 the S3, but they use Philz Touch too. I came from a Transform Ultra, which was tough to manage keeping things off the Internal storage. Kinda lost on how to handle all the options on the SG3. Or, should I just leave it all alone?
??? Thanks, as always for shepherding us newbs across to the promise land.
How to format the internal memory G2?
Cost CM11, CWM format/mtp - does not work.
MTP can not be checked for errors by Windows. So I want to format the drive and then upload their data.
I want to know the whole criteria of Lenovo-A3000 storage, I mean it has an Internal Storage, also an SD card, So:
1- is SD card included inside the Internal Storage?
2- is SD card separated by accessed through the Internal Storage?
3- is SD card totally separated?
and Now, if I choose to wipe data/ factory reset from some recovery tool like CWM, is that will wipe all data including SD card data?
and at last, why the device reads the SD card as it's at /data/media directory while this is not obvious when accessing the Internal storage through some file manager or through the PC usb ?

Internal SD card is just an emulated storage. This means, that the INTERNAL STORAGE (not accessible without root privilegies) is /data and INTERNAL SD CARD is /data/media. When you wipe data/cache using recovery, it wipes /data and /cache EXCEPT /data/media. When you wipe INTERNAL SD CARD, it wipes ONLY /data/media
Great Info

many thanks for these great info :good:
Great topic from TWRP
I found also this great topic from TWRP team which declares clearly the Data/Media behavior
Hey guys, I am running Philz Touch Recovery on my i9507 and was wondering if there was a way to mount internal storage while inside recovery? I tried going to the Mounts and Storage menu but the only option there is for External SD Card and I don't have an microSD card in my device, only using the internal storage.
Thanks

Doesn't it detect the storage automatically if you connect the phone to the pc while in recovery?
I'm pretty sure that this works with TWRP.
It's not possible what you want. That's a limitation of Android.
