How is this done? Normally I did this thru Recovery, but I haven't been able to do this thru Safe Strap. Any ideas how to do this from the device?

I have a rooted evo and I'm not sure if I can format my SD card or will I lose my root?

Your cool, the only way to unroot Requires a specific process. Wipe, format and flash away my friend.
Ok so yesterday I tried flashing a kernel and my phone got stuck in recovery mode. I was able to bring it back with a dedoxed stock rom using odin. But all the files that were on the sd card I can't find them. It still shows that its still taking up space but there nit showing up on the phone.

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 have looked but i probably didn't look hard enough but after I root and install a ROM how do I get back to factory settings where like it came out of the box ?

Odin a tar, go into stock recovery and perform factory reset. It wipes your internal memory.

Hi all, I rooted my phone recently, but even after rooting and full wipe and factory reset, it still had data on the phone memory. Why didn't it remove everything and made the internal memory blank, or as free as possible? Leaving the external sd card as it is of course. I don't want to wipe that as well during this process.
Use Zoots Wipe Script . Download and flash it via cwm . Philz or twrp. Choose Mega Wipe and then install any rom .

I was not wiping the system and data etc when I was rooting. I did that from the recovery mode. But thanks for the megawipe, nice tool.
TWRP recovery has an advanced wipe option
