Hi guys,the internal storage is full of [email protected]! My phone is low now... Stucks everytime... I just want to know if i can do a Full Wipe in TWRP (Cache,Dalvik,Data and Internal Storage) and flash a clean new rom and gapps from my SD Card without any problem...
Can i do that without any problem?
Of course Cache,Dalvik,Data, Internal Storage and system (but you will loose your personal data, that's not on your sd of course)
And flash a new rom
Great... Thanks mate... Was a really noob question...( i know) but i was not sure...

Did you flash via Odin or Recovery?
There is option in custom recovery and in some rom installations that wipe yuor data before install. Fr custom recovere you can make wipe itsefl

1). It DOES matter... You are wiping internal storage... What are you gonna flash when the rom on the internal storage is wiped with ALL the other Data?
it a special feature of the ROM ur trying to install..... wannam 1.8 says - no wipe - hence it only wipes dalvik and regular cache - all the user data is preserved, like apps, contact, sms , etc, etc, - you wouldn't even need a backup when moving to wannam 1.8 ROM.
if u want to start from a clean system i recommend using the Super.Wipe (its comes available on the Phoenix ROM thread)
Cheers

With Clockwork Recovery you don't touch the internal storage, unless you use "Mount and Storage -> Format Internal SD" ( or something like that ).

Unless you really try - you won't format the internal SD with CWM. the clean cache is a command that cleans the OS partition - but if you'll format the internal SD you'll loose all data and apps
infact - what are you trying to do? do you want to completely wipe your device?
Thanks to all for your answers........finally i perform a new clean installation, wiping all data and cache and formating all the /data, /cache, /preload, including internal sdcard (moving rom to external sdcard first of course) and next flashing WanamLite using CMW.
By the way, i was wonder about i9500 suppose to be a 16 GB (internal memory) phone, however......even with a new clean installation internal memory its just about 8.77 GB, am not talking about free space (wich is 6.9 GB now after clean install), the whole internal memory capacity is just 8.77 GB!!! so what about the other 7.x GB in this model???
Hi Guys,
I am presently using Galaxy S4 OzcanRom v6.0 , and I want to upgrade it to v6.2. The procedure to install tells me to wipe davik and format data. So just wanted to know , if my apps that I downloaded (installed in internal sd card ) , will be deleted when I go for the upgrade .
If yes, then how do I simple upgrade to lastest ROM without losing my data. I am new to flashing . Please help me with detail process to upgrade my ROM.

Hi mate,
Yes it will mate , as the description says
Fully Clean Rom installation Step:
Use TWRP
First things first – Backup your data
1 - Download Rom and put it into SD card or ExtSdCard
2 - Select Wipe on TWRP menu
3 - Select Advanced Wipe - select Dalvik Cache, Cache, System, Data,Preload,(If rom is in external sd card select internal sd card too,
otherwise do not choose internal storage.) then select wipe
4 - Format Data and input yes
5 - Reboot - Select Recovery – It will ask you to install super su. Select “do not install” because it has already been installed in the Rom.
6 - Install - Select rom and install

Thank you for the reply. I know the above process , but have certain doubts .
When you say backup data, will nandroid backup work, when I am upgrading ROM to different version and will all my apps be recovered. If there is an elegant way . Please let m e know.
Secondly , I dont have TWRP, I installed using CWM, how will it make a difference.
How do i upgrade without losing data.
Thanks.

Hi,
To recover your apps and contacts use something likeTitanium back up . restore only apps and data no system settings ,
What recovery do you have ? philz?
from philz you have the option factory reset/install new rom , you can choose that or from the mount and restore menu format each one by hand
Nandroid first , back up your efs folder.

Hey....
Do you took a couple of a couple of beers when you did this dude ? lol
And do you have some full NANDROID backups on you PC ? If yes and can still
boot into recovery try to FORMAT DATA, then reboot recovery and see
if it's 0mb.
Regards
note 1: you never talked about your model/firmware/TWRP, etc...
note 2: you wiped your phone, now do what i suggest you at your own risk

All you have to do is plug your phone in to your pc and just drag them (your rom files) to your storage. That's all
Or if you want, you can use an USB OTG.
Hey I'm currently on a pie rom and I want to switch to another pie rom, I've formatted my sdcard as internal storage, so if I install the ROM like normal- wiping data, system, dalvik, will I lose my adopted storage. Please help me. Thanks
