Questions before selling my i9100

emanuelparedes said:

Guys i'm going to sell my i9100 this week, and I have some questions. At this moment, I've Beanstalk installed (4.4.2, nightly release), but I think I'm going to install CM 10.1.3, because it's a stable release. This is a good idea, right?

I'm always a bit "affraid" that people could recover my personal data. Is there a way to avoid this?

How can I format the internal memory? There's a lot of garbage on that partition, personal data and some stuff from all the ROM's that I've installed. So, i want to format this partition. A little help... please?

And I think this is it. Thanks a lot!

I'm not going to sell the phone with the SD Card. My only "problem" is the internal memory.

I know. But I don't want to erase the internal memory. I never used the internal memory to store my personal files, so that's not a problem.

Formatting the internal memory is a bit different of formatting a regular SD Card, I think... Otherwise, I will do this the simple way: Computer -> right click -> Format -> Done.

With what program? This one: Roadkil’s Disk Wipe utility ?

But can I format the internal SD card like if it was a "regular" SD Card? I don't want to brick my device...

I don't need to run that program, because I don't have anything important on that partition.

I will do that later. Thanks a lot for your help!
