if you go in to recovery and go to mounts and storage, format the /sdcard

1. Go to recovery (Button home + Volume up button + Power button).
2. Select Wipe cache partition.
3. Select reboot system now.
4. Tell me if that works.

You can't now. We always advise the people for read before do something. You can read in the guide:
"- Users are recommended to back-up all data before rooting the device."
*EDIT: You will have to wipe all (data/factory reset, cache and dalvik cache) and flash new stock firmware :highfive:

At first I forgot to tell you that my s4 is encrypted and i used the default encrypted from android.
In the past few days i doing some things could serve me in my case and I need help from everyone
1. i change the recovery to TWRP 2.7.0.1 using odin and i try to mount the storage but i do not find my data is't the data is removed ? but when the s4 boot before black screen he ask me my password for encryption and he knows is't wrong or not, Is this indicates my data is not removed ?
2.i try to find my data over using adb shell but i can not find anything.
My question is: Is my files still exist or not.

Can't you just try to wipe from the TWRP recovery.
1. Boot into the recovery. Then select Wipe. Then "Swipe to factory reset". This won't wipe your internal storage.
2. Flash a custom rom.
3. Boot.
You probably need an external sd card to put the rom on.
My guess is that it should work.

You need to be more specific. What data? You mean phonenumbers, text and apps? Those are lost.
Data on your internal storage like pictures, video and music are not going to be wiped.

Sorry to say, but you don't have any option execpt flashing firmware.
If you want to try other tricks etc so please be careful, your phone can be brick with single wrong step.

In last 3 days I flashed 4 different 4.4.2 firmwares on i9505 with ODIN. But I was surprised to see that after successful flashing I find everything same in sattings (Wallpaper, KK Launcher etc...) then I checked *ABOUT PHONE* to make sure that phone is flashed or not. But I was flashed, after that I went to recovery mode and factory reset to wipe everything. All I want to say that is it possible that after flashing my all settings remain same on newly flashed firmware...?

Wipe internal Storage

Hey guys,
on my nexus 4 i could wipe everything, so everything is deleted. Then i could flash a factory IMage over adb, so i had a completly clean install. Is this possible with Op2? I´d like to delelte all the old stuff. A Factory Reset in TWRP wouldnt do this.
Thanks
sorry for my english :/

TWRP > Wipe > Advanced wipe > wipe internal storage and data if you want to start fresh.

And then? What do i have do to? I thought all is deletet, so i cant flash a rom, correct?
EDIT: I want to flash a custom rom after the wipe

You can use ADB sideload or push. Or you can use OTG drive to transfer files.

Ok thanks. It is recommend? I think there is some old stuff from old apps which will not be delted by factory reset

Best way to erase all content from S5?

I am getting a new S8 in a week and currently hold a Galaxy S5. My plan is to sell it on eBay for some extra money. What is the secure way to erase content and settings from the phone? just curious about it

Flash stock firmware on ODIN + factory reset in android recovery.
This will reset your device and delete all data on your internal storage like it was when you first got it

I heard the data is still available after reset, is that correct?

Data will be available if you factory reset in a custom recovery like TWRP (where internal storage needs to be wiped manually if you want). However, in stock android recovery, factory resetting will delete all data off your device, including your internal storage.
I hope this clears everything

Thanks for the info.
Factor reset you mean "Settings -> Backup & reset -> Factory reset" or 'wipe all data/factory reset' in recovery mode?

I tried formating data and it works but when I restart to system and later on restart back into recovery the internal storage is 0 mb
But when I flashed a custom rom it worked (I dont like custom roms bec it has bugs and looks ugly)
I tried lineageOs

Then flash with Odin the Stock Firmware. And Start New...
