Hi Guys,
I've been looking in the forum but the info I find is form March and not really helpfull.
I flashed stock 2.3.5 XXJVT with Semaphore kernel.
I am having some programs crashing and I think the reason is a failed full wipe.
If I go to CWM and do wipe cache...etc, I boot my phone and although the apps are gone, all my internal junk is still there!
How can I completly wipe the SGS?
Thanks!
what internal junks are you referring to? Those apps that came with the ROM will not be removed by full wiping.
you could have a bad flash, try to flash again with the PIT and re partition.
I'm also on stock JVT and Semaphore, my SGS is working flawlessly.
If you're referring to files leftover on your sd card, simply format it.
Thanks guys, will try both options.
By the way, which PIT file should I use?

hey guys i flashed back to stock 2.1 from miui as i was having issues on miui as i think my initial flash was poor. I reflashed 2.1 but my internal sd card files remain. I thought odin wiped all things and repartitioned. how can i wipe completely?

Odin doesn't do either of those things unless you tell it to. But you need to use odin one click and master clear for a wiped phone. This will delete everything so back up your stuff or run the master clear without your sim/external sd in the phone.
If you used a .pit with it then you're file system has been repartitioned, it doesn't wipe the sdcard as that has nothing to do with the system, it where you keep your stuff.
That would like swapping an engine in a car and also taking everything out of the trunk.
I installed Deodexed Stock XXJVT stock rom from here, and everything went well. Than I wanted to root it. I did that with this kernel CF-Root-XX_OXA_JVT-v4.3-CWM3RFS.zip, and it also went well. After that I wanted to "restore to factory settings" - format my user data. When I tried that, phone rebooted, than went to Android system recovery, and ask me to choose one of the options (see picture). I tried "wipe data/factory reset", but I got error messages from picture bellow. Tried again with same result.
Than I flashed phone with stock rom and stock kernel AGAIN. Tried to restore to factory settings, and 1. phone DIDN'T go to system recovery, and 2. erased all data WITHOUT any errors and with complete success.
Than I tried AGAIN (for the second time) to root with same kernel (again it went well). Than AGAIN tried to restore to factory settings (erase private data), and AGAIN problem mentioned above happened.
Now I have stock rom and stock kernel again. I need root for some things, but I don't know how to solve this problem. Could someone please help me with this?
Thanks.
hello
use odin to flash it see here
original rom xxjvt : http://www.techgom.com/2011/10/install-235-gingerbread-xxjvt-on.html
how to root it : http://www.techgom.com/2011/10/cf-root-for-gingerbread-235-xxjvt.html

you must translate page to english with google chrome
You've already done a hard reset, so just install cf kernel again. Most instructions say wipe before flashing, you have still removed previous files etc

Thanks both for quick reply.
@seghier
Thanks for these instructions. I did slightly different process. Maybe this why I got all these errors. I did use ODIN, but I flashed rom with "re-partition" checked (instruction says it shoudn't be checked), and also I used PIT while I am doing this and this instruction says I should do this without it. Check attachemnt picture for hw I did this.
Also, I did root with only PDA, and this tutorial says I should also PIT file included. See attachment for how I did this root.
I am a newbie so I am not sure if this could cause these errors? And did I do something wrong flashing and rooting phone my way?
Should I do this again following this two tutorials or not?
Also I am not sure what is DEODEXED means? Is there any differences between regular stock rom, and this DEODEXED one?
I just want regular stock rom and regular root.
oxeded rom is the original rom from samsung / deodexed is rom can be modified by users and you find in xda forums the difference
the method in photo is right
or you can install deodexed rom from here and the flash very easy :
http://www.multiupload.com/E9AT600ZUC
than use the files like see in image without pit or repartition

Thanks, I will try now.
I still checked "re-partition" because I was using before DEODEXED, and now I am flashing ODEXED rom, so I thought maybe it is a different partition type. Is this ok? Flash went okay.
hello
when you find pit file repartition cheked automaticly
tell me if you success with flashing
Yes I did, thank you. But this problem with unable to restore to factory settings, after do root, still exist, even on ODEXED rom. It is deffinatelly some bug.
if you have problems you can format your sd card but first save all your files and data files using cwm : than create backup
you can try other deodexed rom from : s i9000 developement
i used the original deodexed rom and work fine
I don't have external SD card, just internal memory. Backup isn't problem. I wanted to delete all my personal data, but this error happenes. Did you try erase personal data AFTER did a root?
try this
settings ----- sd card and phone storage-------usb storage : format usb storage
and that remove all your files : music photos ...etc
-for hard reset try this : *2767*3855#
-factory data reset : *#*#7780#*#*
save all your photos and music ....
I already bring back some things, and also I managed to erased all that before doing root, so I won't experimenting anymore for now. Thak for your help. I will try this next time I want to clean my phone completly.
i hope that work for you
and deodexed rom more better because you can add new theme or launcher or flash update without limit than oxeded rom
good luck
Thanks.
try a new kernel
working now? please give a feedback ?
Like a wrote before. DEODEXED and ODEXED both work and I CAN restore to factory settings. After do root, it can't ba done anymore. I tried every possible combination, but result is same, so I guess that can't be done (which isn't so importante to me because I already restored to factory settings before apply root).
I didn't try other kernel (don't know either where to find other kernel), because I already installed programs, made personal settings, so I don't want again to wype all that.
If someone of you could try this it would be okay.
try semaphore kernel is very nice :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1112908
use this application to install kernel :
https://market.android.com/details?id=neldar.sgs.kernel.flasher
and this application for save all your application to external card and you can restore it :
http://fr.appbrain.com/app/app-backup-restore/mobi.infolife.appbackup
--------
and don t forget to make backup with cwm
I am not so experienced about all this. What is difference between semaphore kernel and that other kernel I used for root?
Also if someone else could try this, who need to clean phone anyway, because I just make everything to work OK, so I don't want to experiment again.
Dear All,
i have SGN 2.3.6 with stock rom, after making the root and installing recovery, I found that music player and gallery do not see any songs or pics stored in USB Storage, and it is not the nomedia file issue since I did not find it on my phone, I have a thread here but with no solution.
Q1: is this normal or something went wrong? and how to solve it?
Q2: If can not solve it unless I flash the stock rom once again, and then I will lose root which I need, So, Can I keep the rooted stock rom as my main rom, and install the stock rom as if it is a custom rom via CWM to try if it will solve my problem
Take a look here for all the info you need. forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997
Using 'mobile odin' you can flash a stock ROM and either tick everroot to keep root or use a rooted kernel (chainfire). Better instructions in the link above

1. Confirm you have data intact in interna storage. if you can see data in yout data storage, then go to setting - application -- manage - All- gallery - clear cache n data
same way do for music player. May it solve your problem.
2. If you have CF CWM, you can flash stock ROM, you can read installation guide from my signature, it has been described there, How to flash stock ROM with CWM with keeping root intact.

Just I want to know if I flash the stock rom your way, would it keep all my stuff (names, settings, apps) or it will be like a format?
if you flash non wipe ROM, it will remain as it is.

If I choose :
Older ROMs (Directly Rootable)
N7000JPKK2 ------ 2.3.6 2011 November------- N7000OJPKK2 -------------------United Arab Emirates ---------------Download
will this be non wipe rom?
it is the same I have now (I mean the same version, it is not upgrade or downgrade)
After I flash, I will hopefully find everything I had before there plus the root and CWM and the gallery fix?
what is the different between putting music and pics in USB Storage and in SD card (I don not have an external sd card)
I m not sure, but if your version was/is available on kies, it is nonwipe
There is a new version of UAE released y'day. that is Non wipe version.
You can put media file any place Int/Ext card
I checked right now for any updates via phone (OTA), and did not find any updates
Iam upgrading now via Kies, I finished downloading the new firmware and now the upgrade is in progress, but it moves 1% each 4 minutes, is this normal, (Iam new with Samsung since I used to use HTC phones before)
Hello guys!
I was wondering how should I go about flashing another ICS Rom. I am already on AOKP build 23. If I want to flash another rom do I just wipe data, cache and dalvik cache and install from SD card?
Also, to change a kernel do I just install from SD card?
Many thanks!!
its no difficult man
Just reading. No so difficult like he said.
erm, so is what i said correct?
Factory reset (which is the same as wipe) -> install from SD. Done.
Yes, you got it right. Also follow instruction for the specific rom you want to use.
If there are problems flash to stock with odin + repartition.
Restore and flash
I tried to flash slim rom from sharing rc 4.2.but failed to pass the kernel screen. Don't know what went wrong
Hi all.
I am currently running ripper rom v13 with CWM and I wish to COMPLETELY wipe the contents of my Samsung Galaxy S3 LTE back to bare minimum without damaging partitions that are delicate.
I have tried performing a factory reset under SETTINGS. This left files/folders/photographs when browsing the phone.
I have performed a wipe via CWM, deleted data, system, davlik and cache partitions. This left files and folders as above.
After wiping the phone via the two methods above, I flashed ripper rom v13 rom and after booting I ran through the setup options (choose wireless etc), yet I still have folders remaining relating to OLD apps that I have removed or no longer need.
How can this be?
I have discovered there is a MegaWipe zip but this is not compatible with the 19305T - are there alternatives that I have missed?
Is this something to do with the internal SD card? Have I not wiped this? HELP!
CWM recovery mounts and storage .
Format sd card system cache data and preload .
Boot to download mode flash stock rom .

Hi there,
Thanks for the reply. If I boot to download mode and flash stock rom, how do I do this? I've never performed this before. Do I have to flash stock rom? Can't I pick the ripper rom v13 again if I place it in ext sd card?
Sorry for so many questions!
There is a Mod called "Make Lite Rom" in the Update Me>Add/Remove Applications app that comes with the Ripper ROM. Not too sure if you want this.
Alternatively, there are other ROMs which are stock Android Based (I have tried Sentinel for a few hours).

Hi JJE,
I did as you said, I flashed the stock ROM using Odin and then went through the procedure of installing CWM and rooting.
I am now back into the Telstra stock ROM and all works fine, yet there are still remains of old apps in the phone??? I can see a friendcaster folder
and GO folders...yet before I flashed the stock ROM I did a full wipe.
I downloaded the stock ROM from Sammobile - Could it be that I need a full wipe ROM instead?
Any ideas?
Thanks!
