I have never had a device without a removable SD and am used to having the contents of my SD protected when I wipe and then flush, i mean flash (hah). When I wipe with TWRP, will I lose my pix, audio, etc as they are not on a separate partition?

If you lost your pix, audio, etc that would really really suck. I don't think I would flash new ROMs daily. So of course the contents of internal SD are protected. UNLESS you choose to wipe internal storage in TWRP so don't mess with those advced options. They call it a factory reset in TWRP but its not like the phone option to factory reset which does wipe internal storage.
Your app data is lost. Just back up with titanium backup. After flashing new ROM install only TB, then restore apps and data (no system apps!) and you're done!
And make sure you have a backup! If anything does go wrong just restore it.
alright so lets say i download a rom and put it on my internal, then i boot into twrp do i just factory reset or what? i dont understand what to wipe to keep internal intact sorrry im a noob
in TWRP do a factory reset and install the new rom (and gapps if its CM rom) and you are golden.

Greetings all,
I have the i9500 S4,
I was running Hassan Rom and everything was fine, yesterday i've tried to boot the OzcanRom, and kept getting the (process.media. and process.phone not working)
The phone was not working, and after multiple tries of rebooting the said rom, i decided ill go unroot it and install the stock official rom (as i need my mobile for work etc...)
What i did is wipe the dalvikcashe and the system files (which i think was wrong) and tried to flash the stock rom via Odin the old simple way.
Everything went fine, when my mobile turned on again, i kept getting the same messages:
(the proccess android.process.media... & the proccess android.process.acore... & the proccess android.process.phone... Unfortunately email has stopped...& the new message Unified Deamon (EUR) has stopped.
The mobile is useless, can't access anything, can't connect to USB media so i can backup the files, can't connect to WIFI as it restarts...
Please help me guys as soon as possible i really need my mobile for my work...
(Preferably without a full wipe, or if necessary offer a backup way for my gallery)
Should i try installing a different stock rom? as i chose one from SamMobile that was the closest to my region...
Perform a factory reset. You can do that from the recovery or from within android. Make sure to backup the files on your internal storage.

Thank you for the reply.
I can do that, but i can't backup the files as nothing on the phone is working, pressing the gallery button for example, leads to the (process.media not working) message.
Any other solutions? i don't understand, isn't flashing a stock rom supposed to solve all these issues? should i try flashing another version of the Roms (different region perhaps)?
It does solve it, but you need to factory reset.
What I would do:
- Flash a custom recovery.
- Do the wipe option prepare for new rom.
- Flash stock/custom rom.
That way your internal storage won't be wiped.

Great, Got me relieved when you said internal storage won't be wiped.
Thank you for the reply, i don't want to be a pain in the ***, but could you please explain a few things,
What i'm gonna do is, flash a custom recovery (please recommend one that has the wipe for new rom)
Then, Do the wipe option, which wipe option, the recovery i had had only 1 wipe option, how do i know its not the one that's gonna wipe my data)
Finally, ill flash the rom. (Do i need to root my device again then? to flash a custom rom, if yes, im just gonna go with stock rom and let my mobile work for a few days where i need it then root and install a custom rom again)
I really appreciate your help, and your prompt answers.

- You can use Philz recovery
- You know the wipe option when you see it. The one that say prepare for new rom. No custom rom will wipe your internal storage. That option is somewhere hidden.
- You don't need to root, just flash.
ps you will lose all your apps. It will not wipe your internal storage.

Hello,
I installed philz touch 6.27.2 recovery on my Samsung Galaxy S5 (SM-G900H). Then, I wiped all data/factory reset. I lost my stock ROM. The bad news is that I forget to copy my the custom ROM files into the internal memory before wiping all the data.
I have no idea what to do now. Can anyone help me step by step what to do?
thank you in advance,

Luckily, you still have custom recovery, which means you can load a stock rom zip through recovery, saving it to your external card, and flashing it. Much easier solution, flash the stock tar through Odin in Download mode. Start from scratch. You erased all data anyway, so it's not like you'd be losing anything
Edit: I do NOT have this build, but I found this article which may be very helpful to you. Good luck.

Hi,
I have G935F, installed TWRP 3.0.0.0 and rooted, WITHOUT wiping. System boots correctly, but I cannot do factory reset or wipe with TWRP, because I got some messages like "Cannot mount Data" and "Failed crypto loader". I understand that it has to do with encryption. Can someone please enlight me, and give me tips about the issue?
Thank you

You have to download dm-verity and force encryption disabler from here , put it to SD card, reboot into TWRP, FORMAT DATA (not wipe) and flash that file (dm-verity and force encryption disabler). All your data will be erased.
No way to unencrypt without loosing you data for the moment(
"All your data will be erased" means that after boot I'll find a clean system installation (as factory reset)?
I hope not to be posing stupid questions, I'm completely new to this world
Thank you very much
Yes just as a factory reset

No, you cannot perform a backup, because your data is encrypted by default and the only way to disable it is to format your data.
I have a unique problem. I have a HTC Desire 612 from Verizon and I decided to revive it to playe PoGo. But it was stuck in a boot loop and I couldn't get any custom ROM.
Finally a gentle soul here gave me the stock rom and I flashed it vide TWRP and played PoGo for weeks. Then yesterday the phone bro led and when it came up it was stuck in a boot loop.
So I decided to flash the stock ROM again. But before that I tried to factory reset. I could go to TWRP, select wipe data, enter yes and the wiping was successful, then clear dalvic and cache and system beforehand finally I flashed the stock ROM.
Surprise surprise is NOTHING happens. The phone boots without the apps telling me they are installing. Then I get back the exact same data in my phone including my selected wallpaper and apps. Before I can do anything the phone restarts.
Point is wiping and restoring the stock ROM does NOTHING to the phone yet the processes are successful. Can somebody help?

It really is about TWRP failing to wipe
Hey guys
I basically did a full wipe of my S4 I9505 because I wanted to change roms the new rom is the Dirty Unicorn in the i9505 thread. Everything has gone the last thing TWRP said before I turned it off was my phone wasn't rooted and to install SU then it went off. I tried to restart the phone in download mode which works then tried to reboot normally it wouldn't go past the start screen. I am assuming I need to flash TWRP the Dirty Unicorn Rom through Odin? Is what I'm thinking right or is there alternatives?
TWRP doesn't care if your phone is rooted or not.
Can you boot into TWRP?
If not, try flashing TWRP again through Odin then flash Dirty Unicorns with TWRP.
Thanks for that GDReaper it doesn't boot into TWRP now. I'll try that as soon as possible.
With the Dirty Unicorns rom it said do a full wipe I'm assuming that's the standard TWRP wipe even though it said do internal and external sd card wipe?

you never have to wipe external, if you did and also wiped internal as well you'd be deleting all your user files including the new rom you intended to flash. that would leave you needing to download the rom and gapps again on a computer and then transferring them to your external SDcard before you could continue.
click on wipe, then advanced wipe and tick
dalvik/art
cache
data
preload
and system... then swipe to start the process
actually there is a time when you might wipe all your memory including internal and external memory but it should be telling you that you have to backup all your files somewhere first I'm such cases...
Thanks for that 3mel!
That's what happened. I'm assuming I need to put my sd card in a card reader and transfer that way?
yes or if you have an adaptor for it, it might go into an SD slot if your laptop has one...
It's booting up now I can't thank you guys enough for your quick responses and sound advice!
Installation:
You must have flashed a Android 7.0 Samsung Firmware with Odin.
TWRP recovery
Format data in recovery
First installation needs a full wipe! (Updating to newer releases a dirty flash will do)...

There is no way to flash Android 7.0 to this phone with Odin.
