Does the unlocking the bootloader and flashing rom deleted the sd and internal memory

[damian01211]

Hi guys.

I know this can sound a bit funny but that's true. I have done unlocking bootloader and flashing rom on few xperia's x8.
No problem at all.

Here I'm little bit confused as I was reading the unlocking of bootloader process on Sony offical instruction they've said "For Xperia™ devices released 2013 or later (for example Xperia™ Z and Xperia™ ZL), the SD card of your device will be formatted and you will lose all content (for example photos, music, videos) when you unlock the boot loader." it is true ? Does it really delete everything on the sd card ? Would the unlocking work if I take of my sd ? Or do they mean internal storage ? Or do they mean both sd and internal ?

Also I'm having a question as our new developer make a rom I would like to flash. Like there wasn't a problem on x8 as it didn't have an internal storage. If I would like to flash the custom rom and wipe user data does it deleted the stuff of internal storage like pictures music and everything ? Or does it only do it for the system partition and the one for the installed apps ?

Thanks for help.

It only deletes the internal storage, your sd card remains untouched

Do you mean the unlocking bootloader and flashing rom ? ;p or one of them ?

I've unlocked the bootloader and internal storage hasn't been touched. Of course I have to flash FTF as phone get bootloop but still there wasn't any sign of missing my files from internal storage.
