QUOTE(((Xa))0102 @ Jun 13 2013, 11:12 PM) I did a format via TWRP and everything was gone. That was using the Advanced option with Format Data.Someone said a few days ago not to do that but rather use the Factory Reset option + Format Internal SD from the OS itself, then you can wipe cache and dalvik in recovery. TWRP or CWM flash may have a risk of bricking your device or messing up your IMEI it seems. |

Don't have the time for that. |

QUOTE(((Xa))0102 @ Jun 13 2013, 11:12 PM) No u wouldnt . U emptied your system OS , meaning if u fail to flash a zip file , u are left with a empty phone .Oh ya , if u wanna be safe , use Phil recovery . There's an option where u are asked " if u wanna install a rom " , press yes and it wipes everything for u except internal sd . Even your system is wiped clean . Those who r using TWRP and r worried selecting the wrong wipe , head over to ARHD thread . He got 2 zip files for download , wipe and super wipe . Wipe is for wiping the system , data , cache etc b4 flashing while Super wipe , well , it wipes everything including internal . Just flash the wipe zip b4 flashing a new rom , no need to use wipe option from TWRP anymore This post has been edited by Noobi3: Jun 13 2013, 11:30 PM |
