formatting internal SD card

[dsmas]

Hi, friends. I flashed a few custom roms and kernels, also quite a few applications. Now I want to start fresh with a new custom rom and installing afresh applications. I do not know what kind of folders and files are in Internal SD card (accumulated over a peroid of time). Can I format the internal SD card, just before flashing a new rom. if so how? thanks.

If you are on safe kernel then yes you can format your internal sd card. Just go to SETTINGS>STORAGE>FORMAT SDCARD(INTERNAL STORAGE)

Yes you can format as above said by sahil, but make sure to copy DCIM folder, if your camera having default setting and your snaps are there. Same way copy any other folder, which you have manually create/edited like music/videos. Rest of folder will recreate as system need.

Another alternative is to mount in windows and format there, as Dr k said keep the dcim folder.

note that on some kernels, the emmc and sdcard are swapped, so format sdcard can sometimes wipe external.

Happened to me unfortunately a couple if times so take caution and remove external and format both to be sure

U might have formatted ur sd card with different file system. So format it with exfat or ntfs

Hi All,

I have done repartitioning to my N7000 (using 16GB internal + 16GB ext card) with Odin with PIT file & the required *.md5 and used the 10gb Data partition PIT file.

But after reboot the application partition completed, but the rest partition not showing and giving error of "Blank USB storage"

I have tried to connect with PC to format it, but also there the partition is not able to format.

Kindly help if anybody have faced the same issue and done some solution to restore this internal memory.

@vikashrastogi PIT file is usually flashed aside and together with an entire stock firmware.

I have no clue how could your phone survive such attempt
