Support I wiped my phone and my sd card, so why do application folders still exist??

http://androidforums.com – I booted into recovery, did a factory reset/wipe, i did it 3 times, and also wiped the cache partition 3 times and I formatted my sd card in my computer 3 times. And then I put the sim and sd card back in the phone and booted up, set my settings for my phone but never turned on data and never set up a google account yet. So why..in the world.. is there still folders on my phone from the applications which I had installed before I did the wipe? I can't understand it. It has to be on the phone USB storage right? Because I'm sure it wouldn't survive on the sd card if I formatted in my compute (General)

So back on my Evo 4G whenever I wanted to flash a new rom, I would load it on my SD card. Then boot into custom recovery and wipe cache/Dalvik... Then would wipe ALL data/factory reset. Then I would install my new rom off of my SD card.

With my S3, I cannot access anything on my SD via CWM recovery.

[Q] factory reset 34 weeks 6 days ago

Hey everyone, I am having a little problem... I recently did a factory reset and when the phone booted back up all the files photos and folders that were there before the reset are still there. I have tried to do it from cwm with the code from the phone and from backup and reset in every case all the folders and photos and music remain.

i have sony ericcon xperia mini. i will tell from starting what i have done

i successfully rooted my phone and installed cyanogenmod 7.2(smultron) stable.

OK,

So I bought a new 8GB HC SD Card for my Wife and it worked fine. I was in the middle of doing a backup with titanium for her so I can flash the new CM7. During the backup the phone hard locked. I pulled the battery and rebooted and now the SD card won't show up in CM7 or CWM. If I put the same SD Card in my Triumph it reads just fine.

Can't Mount SD Card in TWRP 20 weeks 22 hours ago

Hey guys i have a huge problem. I have a Rogers HTC One X that is rooted. I installed cm10 and I didn't like it so I booted into twrp recovery and wiped EVERYTHING, I wasn't thinking. so there is no ROM on the phone. I have the stock ROM but I couldn't get it onto the phone because twrp wouldn't let me mount my SD.

That was weird... 38 weeks 18 hours ago

First of all, sorry for the thread title, but my problem is huuuge

My CM9 was acting weird for few past days. It was crashing, rebooting, etc. But yesterday it switched off itself and didn't want to boot. Actually it was bootloop. So I pulled out battery, waited while, put it back, aaaaaand... the same. Then I decided to do wipe. I wiped cache, dalvik cache and ofc data. Nothing has changed.

I would like to factory-rest my phone. The 4.1.1 update went well but I got too much junk I'd like to start from scratch.

The phone has been saving pictures on the phone, not on the micro SD card. The phone has been automatically backing up to google account.

My question is what items are actually backed up to my Google accounts?

Afternoon, I know this will cross over a load of threads so I don't want anyone to spend a lot of time replying just a few bullet points.

I had my phone all how I liked it and then a new ROM was released the other week...........so I backup all apps and data with Titanium backup.

Problem after factory reset 7 weeks 5 hours ago

Recently I factory reset the phone after I was unable to store new contacts and the phone was showing the wrong time. After factory resetting the phone, it wont detect any sim card. I am unable to turn on bluetooth and wifi. I am not sure if I still have proper root access or not, but superuser application is present.
