Anyone no how to hard reset the Galaxy S

Hi anyone no how to hard reset the Galaxy S..?

knowyourcell.com/samsung/samsunggalaxys/galaxy-s-guides/498616/how_to_hard_reset_the_samsung_galaxy_s.html
Don't know it that works

tried the hardware method didn't work.
u can do factory reset by settings->privacy.

Or you can try *2767*3855#

I'm also wondering how to factory reset!! (yes I know it's in Privacy) but it keeps telling me cannot reset because clear service is not available

1 Select call.
2 Dial *2767*3855#

did you get any solution for this?
my i9000 says the same "clear service is not available" - none of the suggested solutions works for me.

the reset option in privacy worked for me. my firmware is jf2, by the way, if that matters..

Try this
Shut your Android Galaxy S down (Power off) or remove Battery.
Now press Volume up, Home and Power together.
If the Samsung Symbol is comming up leave the Home Button.
Then there is a boot Menu
Volume Up and Down to Navigate , Home to select the choosen option.

thanks man ,you made job easy.

Isn't hard resetting just removing the battery?

no
hard reset, means something like FORMAT the phone, and restore the backup from Factory

If the phone has already been rooted, will the hard reset "unroot" it, so that you need to reapply the rooting procedure?

depends... to my best "guestimate" if you are on stock official ROM, chances are yes, you'll need to unroot again.
if you are using custom ROM, then it'll revert back to the clean state of the custom ROM you installed
i've not yet had the need to hard reboot, i'll find out in the near future

I just did a hard reset because I want to send my unit it for replacement.
How can I tell if the device is still rooted? I want to make sure they don't see any sign of rooting.
Edit:
The post below explains the unrooting procedure:

But, where can I get the "odin3" for my phone which I bought from Optus Australia?

So the factory reset didn't unroot the phone?

Correct. It doesn't. After the wiping of data, it rebooted and presented the option of running the update.zip thingy, which I did not choose. Yet, it is still rooted. I could still see the icon called user permission. I can still install the screen capture program that requires rooting.
If you want to unroot, you probably have to use the procedure in my link above. The problem is I don't know where I can get e Odin3 file for Optus Australia.
My firmware details are as follows:
PDA I9000DTJF3
Phone: I9000DTJF3
CSC:I9000OPSJF1
When we unroot, this Odin3 thingy is to refresh which portion? All three or just one of them?

I just noticed that after hard reset, my music, video, pictures are not erased.
Isn't this strange?

^^ My internal SD card was wiped clean. Shows 13.43 GB total space and 13.43 available space

Will doing a hard reset reinstall all of the ATT features that were removed after rooting?

Tab Won't Factory Reset

i've got a galaxy tab, no custom roms, not even rooted and i can't reset it. when i go to Privacy-->factory reset, it will boot into the boot menu, and i do the data and cache wipe from there, then it will only reset the homescreen. my accounts and data stays on the device. i've seen the problem once online, but can't seem to find anymore topics on it. does anyone know how to fix this problem?

I'm having the same exact problem. I can't seem to find a way around it, and I suppose I will have to send it in if I don't want to go into ODIN and deal with it that way.

Same issue
I'm having the same issue.
It does not matter how I do it the result is the same.
The 3G information is wiped out, all the applications are messed up, but my Gmail account, Facebook and accounts are still there. If I manually remove all the accounts using account manager, when I reboot the tab, they're all back!
I've tried:
Menu > Settings > Privacy > facotry reset
and I've tried holding down the Volume Up button while booting and selecting facotry reset and clear cache. No good...
At this point I'm being sent a new Tablet, but I really want my personal information cleared before I send it back. How can I "jack" it up? I've looked for a Verizon ROM to see if I can put that back on using the SD card, hoping that would wipe it, but can't seem to find one. Or any CDMA Rom that might wipe everything out.
After I had this issue I even installed z4Root and rooted teh phone, hopeing to use an App that remote wipes, but the results were the same and NOW the SuperUser force closes everytime I try to open it. In fact, almost all the apps seem to force close when starting them EXCEPT market and Gmail.
Help!
--- update----
Changed my passwords on Gmail, Facebook and Twitter. After about 30 minutes the tablet finally stopped displaying my information and started prompting for passwords.

This is an old thread but I'm having the same problem with my Sprint Galaxy Tab. Factory resetting through recovery mode, settings, flashing a new rom, etc don't work and pretty much every app crashes as soon as the tab boots.
Anything I can do before sending it in?

Anyone else facing this problem? I did have two google account in my tab. I would like to remove one of it which I dont use anymore. BUT the system request me to factory reset if I want to remove the account.
BUT the problem is, i'm afraid if I reset, others problem will come later.
I always heard people taking "Don't fixed it if its aint broken". LOL
So, over my curiosity to see either this "unable to remove account" is a common problem which involve my tab also or not?
Curiosity kill the cat!!
haha..so afraid now...

same issue
I have the same problem.Problem come on gingeIrbread.On froyo factory reset works normal.I flash back to froyo but can't do enything becouze it's crash when go to settings wizard. I go to recovery mod but can't whipe factory data and chase.Flash back to gingerbread 2.3.3 but nothing change.Help please.I have euro tab.Sorry for my bad english.

Overcome is GSM only...

I try that.Didn't work.Thank you for advice.

In recovery it says Can't access to '/system/csc/TWO/system/'. I don,t know what to do.

Solved.I took my tab to Samsung center. Replace the mainboard.Now it work.

had this on my Sprint Galaxy Tab after the Gingerbread update. Sent it in and they mailed me a brand new unit a week later.

hello all,
i know that this thread is very old. but i faced this problem now, i want to know if flashing the stock ROM will solve this problem or the only option is to change the motherboard. As my tab is out of warranty and this will cost me a lot to get motherboard changed
thanks in advance.

It won't even go there. It quickly shows the LG Logo and all the sudden it gets to S/W Upgrade. Can't get in Recovery or anything else.

Whenever I try Flash Tool it gives me a Download Fail with error code 210? Help please.

try to change the phonemode on software update(KDZ) from DIAG to EMERGENCY. that saved me a week ago .i had the same problem

Similar Problem...HELP
Hello, I seem to be having a similar problem. I tried KDZ, as per the flashing tools page, but after running the KDZ unpacking and then it stops at paramenter 210. The phone screen stays at S/W Upgrade, and nothing else happens. The KDZ log stays at parameter 210, and goes no further. I am following all the exact steps. Also in the KDZ Phone Information link/Button, no info shows up about Phone, meaning all fields are blank. Back ground Information: i had before a CUSTOM ROm 4.4+ & later 5.0+ installed, but somehow after some time, my phone stopped recognising any SIMs. Android would work but no Sim was working. I thought it was a hardware defect, but later i checked in Settings> Status, there was no IMEI showing. Something had messed up, I read up that reinstalling the stock ROM may solve the issue, so i tried it. But all i have now is that a phone that doesnt boot up, always shows S/W Update screen. And with KDZ only goes up till parameter 210 (in software status log) and doesent go further. Tried all DIAG/Emergency etc. Is my phone bricked or is there a solution ? Please HELP ..... Any help/suggestion appreciated. Thx

I tried the LG Flash Tool as mentioned in the link. But my update only runs till 10%, and shows 0Kb / 0Kb, and then after 18s returns an error, Failed !. Also there are no 3 ports open as mentined in one of the posts when all ports 1-16 are used/ticked in options. I have only read half of the posts in the link, so maybe there is a solution, otherwise it seems something has gone wrong in the phone
Thanks for the suggestions and link, although not working for me.

Can't flash stock ROM, phone show only S/W Upgrade

A month ago I've upgraded to V20B using KDZ with this excellent tutorial: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2069723, and everything worked fine till yesterday, when suddenly all mobile connectivity lost, as if there was no sim card installed.
I tried various solutions from the web before flashing my phone to CM-10.1.3-p880, which was great for me, but alas, still no mobile networks and data. I then tried to flash back to Stock ROM, again using KDZ update, and I don't know what went wrong, the outcome was that now the device shows only "S/W Upgrade" screen and no more. I tried to flash several times using also Lg Flash tool, but every time it fails after 10% of the download process. I also tried everything on a different computer.
Plz help..
Thanx

You can try recover your phone with LGMobile support tool, without kdz flashing. In LG program in options you have entry update recovery, click it and follow instruction. I hope it helps.

Thanks for the reply.
It didn't fix it either.
Failed at 10% of the upgrading proccess.

i've seen like 3-4 people in the past month on the forum have this same problem (its like imei gets wiped), and all have issues reflashing. quite strange indeed. i don't have any tips for you other than to try reflashing via kdz flasher/another tool again and hope for the best

Try on another computer, this might helps. Do it on PC not on laptop on rear usb port.

Happened to me something similar today, but with the difference that I still have my IMEI and that I still can surf the web using 3G. Also my baseband version shows LGP880AT-00-V20a-234-XXX-MAR-26-2013 and right now I'm on latest CM11.
My problem is that I can't make calls, when I try to do so, I get "Mobile network not available". Also people can't call me and I can't send or receive SMS (haven't tried MMS btw).
I've also gone under "Settings -> Mobile networks -> Network Operators" and when I choose my network operator or select "Choose Automatically" I get "Can't connect to this network right now. Try again later".
Strange enough, in the quicksettings tiles I can see my network operator's name and the bars are full.
I was on Vanir 4.4.2 when this first happened. I have flashed already a few ROMs (like cm10.1.3, Zaiben, CM11) trying to solve this problem and all of this happens in all of them (clean flashed every single one of them). Also tried to restore with CWM some nandroid backups that were working previously and all of them are giving me this same error.
In "About phone -> Status"
I do have a signal strenght, which makes me think the antennas and the sim card are working correctly
Mobile network type: UMTS (I'm in Portugal)
Service state
Voice: Out of service (I believe the problem is somewhere hidden here)
Data: In service
Mobile network state: disconnected (this seems weird to me too, regarding the fact that I have data connection)
And like I said before, my IMEI and all the rest are correct.
I haven't tried flashing a KDZ due to all these reports of "soft bricking" their devices.... Don't know what to do... Any ideas?
Don't know If I shall provide a logcat or a dmesg... If so, when shall I take it?
Thanks in advance and sorry for crashing this thread...

what you described seems like ril crash issue, and ril doesn't connect you to network properly after that. the link in my sig may help you
edit:
just re-read your post, you are 100% sure it also happened on stock-based rom (zaiben)? if so, it may be that something different is wrong. try toggling airplane mode on and off when your issue happens and tell me what happens then

Please help me with problem

i just went through this problem on my bravo so i want to share the solution.
actually i searched the XDA but didnt get the solution.
"think again before going to hard reset or clear cache, there might be some easy ways to get rid of it "
i got this message whenever i receive a phone call.
This error message is a common complaint among Sprint users, but it can easily be removed by taking the following steps:
method #1
1. From the Home screen, hit the Menu key.
2. Tap on Settings.
3. Select Call settings.
5. Select Reject with message.
6. Count how many messages are in this section.
7. Delete them until you have less than five.
After reducing the number of messages to fewer than five, you should be able to receive calls without an error message compelling you to force close the call.
method #2
Something I've also had to do to get the phone working again was going into the 'manage applications' screen and clearing the data for the phone application. This can be accomplished as follows:
From the home screen, press Menu
Tap Settings
Tap Applications
Tap Manage Applications
At the top, tap the All tab
Navigate to and tap your equivalent of the phone app (may be called Phone or Dialer)
Tap Clear Cache and Clear Data as available
Turn your phone off, then back on.
Another means of resolving those app errors, hope this helps!
method #3
didnt work above methods? strange!! hmm
100% solution
1.go into recovery
2. go to wipe/format option
3. clear cache
4. hard reset( not necessary,try only clear cache if works)
5. reboot.

to only know what cause of that problem is the logcat. so you can know that cause the android.phone crash. maybe png or what you can provide logcat here also so we can see and to help you with your problem.
