[Q] Wiping Data issue with CWM

---

basically i have an issue every time i wipe my data to flash a new rom, i think this is causing my roms not to work as well as they should. Basically it says its formating /data
formating /chache
formating /sd-ext...
E: formate_volume: Make_extf4fs failed on /dev/block/mmcblk0p2
formating /sdcard/.android_secure
data wipe complete.

What is this file that isnt being formated? Is there another way for me to remove this from my phone so that it is basically completely clean? Even after Odining back to stock i cant remove this.


Any feedback would be nice.

have you ever ran the ext4 converter? If so that might be it. If you really want to get rid of that than (only my opinion) run the rfs formatter.

Hope that makes sense

If you try that and it doesn't work, try formatting your sd card, then odin to kc1. Now you will have a 100% fresh start. After you odin, let the phone sour for 10 min. When you get cwm again, run the ext4 converter, and then flash the rom. let it sit for another 15 min. And try wiping again and see what it says.

what do you mean by kc1?

basically, odin to a stock rom. KC1 is the rom i usually recommend. im pretty sure following what i said before will get rid of this problem after you odin. check the bible for the files.
