Just a quick one - going to do a factory reset as I've installed Froyo and I think it would help a few small problems I've had - will the data on the internal SD get wiped with his?
Not sure about going through menu or three button menu but using #*272* definitely wiped mine. Sadly my SMS backups were on there as well as pictures I wanted to keep.
Cheers, I'll make a backup before going ahead.

Im thinking about rerooting my g1 from scratch but wad wondering once thats done if I transfer my ext backup from bart and to a restore that all my ext info would be there.....I'm trying to avoid downloading all my apps again
I've never done this, but I'd say, most likely, yes. You don't even have to go through the trouble with BART, really. Just backup everything from your ext partition to a computer or something, and re-root. You probably won't even have to restore--if you're using a stable build like cyanogen, and you don't wipe your ext, it should still all be there the first time you boot to cyanogen and tap the green Android to begin setup.
I would still do a backup first, though, in case you have fc's and have to wipe ext. If that's the case, then after setup and all, just drop the files you backed up back onto your ext partition, reboot, and voila, your apps are back. Oh, how I love A2SD!
Or you can BART. Especially if you're on Windows, which doesn't recognize ext. Whatever floats your boat, though.
Hi, Im trying to exchange my phone and Im having issues with getting the phone bone stock. I used odin 1 click, did a factory data reset, and all my pictures, app folders and various other things are still on the internal SD card. I was using titanium backup, I think thats the cause (not sure though)
I also just flashed JH3, super rooter, and the OC kernel. But as far as I can tell, those are back to factory. I just cant wipe all my data and I dont know if doing it manually will clear up everything.
Suggestions/questions? Thanks!
I even tried the master clear. I can still see files for shootme, sl4a, clockworkmod, update.zip's, and tons of other folders including busybox
Did you try connecting your phone to your computer, mounting the sd card, then open the driver than your sd card is on and manually delete the files that way? You can move the titanium back up to an external sd card and see if that helps.
Go to Titanium Backup support and shoot them a pm, they got back to me within a day when I had questions if you think it's related to that.

I can do that, But what Im worried about is all the application data (including data for apps that require root) wont be deleted. Im not sure exactly what I would have to do to remove that as well. I wanted to leave it there, so that if I did manage to wipe it, Id know for sure everything was gone.
Ill also try sending them a message. Is it on that forum site they link to? Its not very clear as to how to contact them

I pm'd Shazd, I have the pro donated version so I had everything backed up, moved the folder for Titanium Backup and the folder for Titanium license to my exteral card. Then I flashed with Odin to stock and swapped my phone for a new one. Then I put the sd card in the new phone, connected to my computer and moved the files to the internal sd, installed Titanium from the market and when it installed my entire backup was there, settings, apps, and data were all there. I did a restore and everything was just as my old phone. Then I installed Unleash The Beast, the cool battery indicator, thanks to Designgears and the rest is history. When I flashed with Odin, all evidence of root were gone. AT&T didn't even check the phone, all I said was random shutdowns and a crack in the screen and they swapped it.
I have the paid donate version as well. I mean, I have the backup saved to my microsd and on my computer, Its just weird, I mean for some reason its not wiping. Im literally trying everything. I had a backup with clockwork mod and I re-rooted with 1 click root so that I could run that... It may be super rooter, Im starting to think thats more the case. But I really am just stumped
I flashed with Odin3 one click, maybe that's the difference. What did you use exactly?

Both versions lol. 1-click and version 1.0 or whatever by flashing the stock firmware Jh6 from samsung-firmwares.com. I even tried a factory data reset
It may just be files in my internal SD card themselves that arent being deleted... but Im not really sure
It didn't wipe all of my info when I did master clear and then doing the one click wipe. I'm bit sure why it wouldn't either but it did remove most of what I wanted gone.
Sweet life
Huh... Well I did a bunch of clear cache things, wiped my internal sd, and went throught my phone with root explorer and deleted whatever else I found. Wow that was a huge hassle
I think the best thing to do in the future is clear all user data through clockwork, then use odin for master clear then odin start to do it all. It is a hassle that's for sure.
The SD cards (internal and external) are not cleared with a full system wipe. When you delete all data through a system clear, it deletes everything stored internally to apps - in the phone memory where apps are installed.
Although the internal SD card is not really an SD card, the system treats it as an SD card. You can unmount both internal and external SD cards and then format them - that will wipe all data. Follow that with a system reset or Odin 1 click recovery and everything on your phone is factory new.
The phone is behaving as designed.
I updated to JL2 (2.2) Froyo for my bell i9000m and it seemed to do the trick to fix GPS.
However I have been messing around with ROMS/Kernels lately and installed (stupidly) a GPS optimization app from the market.
My GPS works still -- but it takes LITERALLY 5-10 mins to work -- by which time I already arrive at my destination
Why does it take so long ?????????
If I do a factory reset - what do I lose? everything? apps? internel SD card? external SD card?
Please advise. I'm thinking of doing a factory reset to get things back to normal but I'm unsure what I'll lose in the process.

seeARM's custom JL2 ROM
2.2 Froyo

you will lose all your apps and settings. So do a backup with Titanium Backup.
Your internal / external sd card wont be affected. all your porno films will stay intact
As for the GPS, its **** its something you have to live with, or spend hours searching for that tiny bit of improvement.
Some have reported amazing GPS accuracy improvement but the process can be painstaking... thats up to you.

thanks - ill use mybackup pro because I had issues with Titanium Backup
I would back up everything using titanium, then copy the entire folder to my external SD, wipe everything, format SD, etc.
But when I would reboot, download titanium, and go to restore, I couldn't do it - how do i make titanium look on the external SD card?
or do I have to transfer the stuff back from external to internal THEN use titanium ?
Thanks - I have rooted my phone - no probs. . . but after resetting kernel to alllow me to ClockworkMod Recovery, a couple of my camera associated apps don't work properly. I am thinking of doing a factory reset (I am using Titanium Backup Pro). Willl a factory reset mess up anything I have been doin?? I appreciate I will lose all data and settings.
You can reply directly to me at <[email protected]> that wud be great . .

Try booting into recovery and doing a factory reset that way. Turn the device off, then hold down the N button and power button at the same time to get into recovery.
well i want to keep CM7 on the internal memory i just want to unlink my gmail account, so whenever i sell it, the person that will recieve the nook wont have my email and access to my market account

Yes, the method I showed you will keep CM7 on the internal memory. A factory reset just wipes the all the application data and things like cache. It will take the ROM back to like it was the first time you booted it up.
Are you running Clockworkmod recovery?

well i am running Clockworkmod off of the SD. So are you saying to boot with my CWR SD and do the wipe that way?
Hello I'm selling my Nexus One, it is rooted running Cyanogen. I'm not selling sd card with phone, i'm just selling the phone. I did a data and cache wipe so is all my info gone? If someone did a restore (nandroid) wouldn't that bring all my information back? When I first rooted and when I switched roms months back I did a nandroid backup, so now i'm wondering if someone could simply do a nandroid restore and get back all of my data, i'm concerned about text, contacts, gmail information, personal info inside of apps, etc... Thanks
If you wiped data and cache, then your phone is almost completely empty. The last thing remaining is the sdcard. If you are sending that with the phone, you will need to wipe it. If you are keeping it, then there is nothing else to do.
And your nandroid backups are stored on the sdcard, so either way, whatever you choose to do from the above will get rid of nandroids.

thanks, i'm not including sd, because he already has a larger sd card, so without my sd card the nandroid backup wont do anything? so all my text, contacts, passwords, emails and things are gone?
Correct, Titanium save it to sd card, no
sd no nandroid restore
