Help How to completely wipe everything from my Nexus

[darkcyber]

I am selling my Nexus and want to make sure I completely wipe everything off of it. I know I can boot into either TRWP or ClockworkMod and wipe everything there, but besides doing the regular wipes, I will need to wipe the sdcard as well...correct? And then that wipes everything from everything...correct?

I would presume you would go to:-

Settings>Backup & reset>Factory data reset.

Flashing a factory image is a sure fire way to wipe everything.

That will wipe everything but the sdcard. Everything will still be on the sdcard. I installed ROM again via CWMR and then did a format on the sdcard.

I meant flashing a factory image through the bootloader, not recovery. Part of the procedure is formatting and re-flashing every partition, which includes the userdata partition. So there's no way the sd card would be intact after flashing one.

OK, Got you now. Yep, that would do it.
