Is it correct that a full wipe with stock recovery will wipe the internal card as well, while the full wipe made with a custom recovery will not?
Yep, had to experience that myslef
Luckyly i had a one week old backup of my internal sd

i wiped data on stock recovery and wiped data on cwm, all gone
hehehe. only folders are being left with empty files in it
On stock, it does wiped all the content on internal sd but on a custom cwm it depends. Im using chenglu's and it doesn't wiped my internal sd when doing a restore facotry reset on cwm.

What about the aroma installer ? Does it wipe the ext sd card ?

Well your internal storage is mounted at data/media so if you format data, i can only assume that media will go with it.

That Is weird indeed. Custom recoveries don't/shouldn't wipe internal sdcard while wiping data. Twrp used to but it doesn't anymore. And cwm has never wiped it AFAIK.

No. Most of the roms updater scripts are set wipe system partition and/or data and some have the option in aroma for the users to choose. But internal/external sdcards don't get wiped.

That is true for stock recovery but custome recoveries make sure to not wipe the contents of data/media.

I think it is a yes when we try to wipe it on stock recovery it will wipe all our data, when im in Philz Cwm, surprisingly it didnt. Maybe some CWM offer full wipe and some are not. i did try it long time ago while because im kinda flashaholic. Sorry if im wrong.

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....
Sent from my MB526 using xda app-developers app
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.

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?

I rooted with casual and have the recovery installed. My question is I supposedly full wiped and flashed Goldeneye. My issue is it didnt full wipe because when I go into internal memory all the crap that should be gone, its folders are still there taking memory so I have to manually delete. Am I doing something wrong ?
When I had my htc a full wipe meant a full wipe Everything gone. Dont understand why its not happening on my s4.

go into recovery and do a factory reset, it will clear it.

That dont work all the folders are still there even though the apps are not installed.

most recoverys are set up to format data without touching the internal storage. this is a feature, not a bug. if you want to wipe internal, go to format, then format internal. easy peasy

Here is what I do when I flash a ROM. I am a bit OCD for flashing cleanly.
1) Boot into Recovery
2) Wipe Data (Factory reset)
3) Wipe Cache
4) Wipe Dalvik Cache
5) Format /System
6) Format /sdcard
Then I flash my ROM. Those steps will definitely clean everything out before you flash. Especially formatting /system and /sdcard.

just make sure you don't have anything you care about, like Roms or nandroids, in /sdcard.
fwiw this isn't a CASUAL issue, its a TWRP issue.

It's a little over kill. Just need to wipe the caches and data. If you wipe system, just make sure you do it before you flash a rom. And make sure you flash a rom before you boot. Wiping system and then rebooting is detrimental to your phone.

Ya it might be a little bit overkill, but atleast this way you know everything is cleaned and wiped before you flash your ROM. I hate dirty flashing ROMS, so I prefer to be really thorough.

It might be overkill but I like to make sure its a complete wipe even if I have to overkill it. Thanks all for the replies.
EDIT: DO NOT FORMAT INTERNAL if you have twrp the part where you have to type in yes. You will have serious issues and will end up ODIN back to stock to repair. If you format internal in twrp phone will not boot up. You can enter recover but if you power off phone will not boot up again.
So I been installing Rom's lately on my rooted lg g2 D801. I was wondering if there is a way to do a full wipe that clears the storage side as well or would that brick my phone?
Well what custom recovery are you using. For example im using twrp and under wipe you click advanced and check all options including internal storage. Why do you want to do that? Youd then have to push your rom and files via adb in fastboot mode. I wouldnt do that ,but its been done.

You might have old roms you downloaded before installing you could delete. You could also have nandroid backups taking your space you could delete. Try installing nandroid manager from app store and see if it finds backups taking up space and delete them

Best way is to every now and then use USB otg. Move a backup to it or when you are about to fresh install a ROM put everything on USB otg and then wipe everything including internal. Then install ROM and gapps or whatever and you will have a super fresh internal storage. All folders and misc. Stuff left behind from multiple flashes will be formatted and you will have only what you need

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 .

Excuse my ignorance but I've been out of the game for 3 years and not familiar with TWRP as I used to use Clockwork Recovery. What do I need to wipe when preparing to install a custom ROM? Do I just hit factory reset in TWRP or do I advance wipe?
Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk
Wipe everything other than the partition you have the custom ROM on, so if your custom ROM is on external SD, wipe and format the whole internal
When upgrading from the same custom ROM to a newer version, you only need to wipe System and Caches

It lets me wipe:
- Davik cache
- Cache
- System
- Internal Storage
- Data
So I should wipe everything but system or?

You need to wipe everything, sometimes internal storage, sometimes not. I wipe everything including internal storage though, as a lot of unneeded files are kept there. Just transfer what you want to keep to your pc or external card.
