Hi everyone
Right now I'm using a MK9 custom rom on my GT-i9500 with perseus kernel alpha16 and 4.2.2 bootloader (without any of KNOX s**t).
Actually I'm just about to flash Omega's NB3 build (or maybe wanam's one) and I'm really confused
I read several times that I should completely format every corner of my phone but what about my External SD? Will it be wiped when installing the ROM? Should I get it out before beginning the install and put it back after?
Also, if I have to format internal SD and remove the external one, where do I just put the installation zip?
And last question, is last Philz recovery (based on CWM 6.0.4.7) okay for all this?
Thanks for your help :angel:

No need to wipe external sd
Download custom kitkat and moved to external
Wipe data - cache - system - flash using CWM 6.0.4.6/ twrp
Absolutely correct

So there s no risk ext-SD is wipe when doing the re-partition (that comes with Samsung-based kit kat builds) ?

Hello.
Today i was trying to install custom ROM on Defy.
I successfully root it and install bootmenu.
But, when I trying to install zip from sdcard with recovery, it shows: 'Can't mount sdcard'.
How to solve it?

Just be sure you follow the instructions right. If you use the search bar I'm sure you'll find the answer. I think that I saw the same problem here.
Good luck
@Vicsa I'm sure I do everything right. I even follow the steps in link you put in, but this don't work too. I tried other SD card; the same problem.
have you tried re-formatting your sd card? try copying your files on you desktop then reformat it and the transfer again. did you wipe cache partition?
Which custom rom you are installing and what is your present stock sbf .. i.e froyo or gingerbread. !!

Yes, I format SD card few times. And yes, I wipe cache partition.

I don't think it does matter, cause I just need now to access sdcard from Recovery.
Flash froyo sbf first.
I also had a problem mounting something, but don't remember if it was sdcard or system.

don't wipe dalvik cache until after custom rom install?
could be outdated recovery too
Dear Friends,
I have done some serious criss cross flashing /modem/rom/recovery etc. (Rom upon rom) over the last months. I've recently had a soft brick and had to reinstall stock. I want a fresh start.
I feel like my phone's memory has been rewritten many times by now and that there are some resedues (crap files) in the system that I can't get out and that are slowing the system down. I'd like to do a full blown erase and restore to factory settings and then set up my custom roms again.
What is the best way to do this?
I am familiar with the use of Odin etc.
It would be delicious to get full instructions from you.
Best,
Thomas
Install a custom recovery like PhilZ and go to mounts and storage and then format system, cache, data, preload and SD card.
You will now have a totally clean system and can boot I to download mode and flash firmware in Odin.

Hello Guys. I'm desperate as yesterday i did try full wipe on my brother galaxy s4 via stock recovery and I did wipe whole phone including photos and videos. I'm so surprise as this never happened on my old s2. Now I'm trying to recover some files but s4 blocking access to those files. Phone is rooted running 4.3 Any advice please? How to remove those blocking system ? Please Please
how you want to access files that you have deleted

I believe there is option via for ex dr.fone software but unfortunatelly s4 blocking access. Wondering if I flash any non stock rom it will help
if they were stored on the internal and you formatted it, they are basically gone, as i don't think you can mount this in windows, you will only have limited access to certain files via the mtp interface.
if they were on your ext sd card, remove it and use a card reader to connect to your pc and try recovery software?
as have been deleted in stock Recovery I do not believe to be restored
Guys you both right. Still no luck on stock rom. Just wondering if I flash for ex SlimKat will I be able to mount internal storage? Thanks

This is part of how to install SlimKat
Reboot to recovery.
In recovery make a full wipe as per these instructions:
In CWM perform wipe data / factory reset and in mounts and storage section format system.
In TWRP choose advanced in wipe section and wipe dalvik cache, cache, system and data.
Flash SlimKat rom zip.
Flash SlimKat gapps zip.
Reboot, setup and enjoy.
What's up
You will delete,format again,wipe again

Dear forum members,
Im having issues with writing to my internal sd card, here the descripption of what i did:
I installed the rom Phronesis v6.2, everything was working perfectly until I realized that xposed was missing, I decided to install it by flashing the xposed-v80-sdk22-arm, unfortunately I got a boot loop so i decided to go back to my original stock rom (4.4.2) restoring a nondroid backup.
The problem is that after restoring it seems that I lost writing privileges to my internal sd card, using es file explorer shows that the storage/emulated/0 folder is empty, but it displays that is using 16 gb from 26. Using the stock “my files” the folders are displayed but I cannot copy anything to it (failed to copy). Applications in general work (some force closes) but I cannot save any settings
If I connect the phone to a pc, i cannot copy any files from the computer to the internal or external sd cards, however I can copy from the external sd to the computer.
I tried to format clear cache etc and restore again but the issue persists.
Can anyone be so kind and try to help me figure out a possible solution?
Thanks in advance

1. Go to your custom recovery and wipe all (system, data, dalvik).
2. Reboot in DOWNLOAD MODE and flash the ORIGINAL STOCK android 4.4.2 firmware via ODIN.
3. Root your device and flash via ODIN the custom recovery again.
4. Restore your nandroid backup.
5. Done. Good luck :highfive:

Boot to recovery (I reccomend orangefox) wipe cache, dalvik, data, system > flash rom > flash gapps (optional) > flash magisk (optional) if after reboot it ask for password you have to format data (i've noticed that if you flash magisk before booting the system the password isn't required). If you come from miui maybe you need to flash vbmeta before rom (i'm not sure but it doesn't hurt)

What the role of vbmeta
Should I backup my apps by titaniumbackup

Do you want to flash a custom rom or you want to return to official miui from a custom rom?

When you wipe system you delete the previous os (rom) installed then you flash the new os (rom). Wich rom do you want to install?

If you don't have SD Card then don't wipe Internal Storage. But Clean Flash always recommend.

Ok so if you want to reinstall your app and data after flashing the rom you can backup with titanium backup or migrate. Reboot to recovery and wipe cache, dalvik, system and data after this flash the rom (you can flash it from internal storage) after the rom without rebooting to the system flash gapps (optional) and magisk (I reccomend to flash magisk so you can restore the backup and it avoid to have the problem with password request). Reboot to system

i dont have sd card and in the past when i wipe system , data ..... and try to flash the zip custom rom ( in Download folder OF my phone ) i can't find it ... with no OS installed i can't open my phone to transfer files... so the only solution flashing stock rom.

Maybe you have wiped also internal storage or format data? If you wipe just cache, dalvik, data and system you must found the files in the download folder.
Thank you bro
