what option deletes my android folder in TWRP recovery?

aseferfan · Feb 18, 2014

hey guys its been kinda long since i last flashed but i was changing my rom to magio and as a usual procedure i selected dalvik cache,cache,system,android_secure,and data to wipe...after the wipe installed rom and fired up my phone...then was restoring a game..after i restored,to my horror i saw that my "Android" folder(which keeps obb and data) was completely wiped

i have no idea how that happened as i never selected sd_card wipe

so does the data wipe option also delete the Android folder?

i remember clearly that in the old days i did select data wipe/factory reset in recovery but it didn't remove my Android folder

Using latest TWRP 2.6.3.0 btw

Wipe system..That..But when you are flashing a new rom you have to do that..Cause your ROM will have errors..

You can backup for apps with Titanium Backup! Music and pictures will stay on phone..Cause when you are flashing new roms apps will stop working in almost every case..,
