I did a factory reset on my N1 CM 7.1 as I found the battery has been drained so fast recently. (30 mins from 100% to 0%) I did try battery calibration and both batteries are in good condition.
After the factory reset, how do I setup my S2E again since all the apps are in the SD card. I downloaded S2E from the market again and it seems does not work.
In next ocassion, if I wanna do a wipe again for my ROM. What should I do ?
** Before I did the factoy reset under "Privacy", I actually did "format - system, data, cache and sd-ext" under clockworkmod recovery "mount & storage" = = (I know I am suck on this and I searched on the forum, it did not work)
It turned out the phone stayed on the boot screen and I did a nandroid restore instantly.

I am extremely frustrated at this point so I have decided to make a thread.
My hero has been a good phone and runs 1.5/1.6 roms without any problems, and has for 6+ months. However, as soon as the 2.1 leaks came around, I was eager to try them. NONE of them will work. I have tried 6 or 7 different versions. My phone will shut off very frequently, which essentially makes it unusable.
Has anyone else experienced this and was able to fix it, or otherwise have any advice for me?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Haha. Yeah man, factory reset + dalvik cache wipe. Would a bad SD card cause something like this?
sounds like you didn't properly wipe... once you wipe EVERYTHING.. (after a nandroid).. you shouldn't have problems installing any ROM whether it be 1.5, 1.6, 2.1, 4.2 (coming to the htc hero6 in 2013)
edit: you mentioned factory reset... are u doing the factory reset thats installed in the settings menu or are you wiping everything from recovery?
Have you tried to go back to 1.5/1.6 to see if the problem occurred? This might help eliminating the hardware issue.
Which ROM did you tried? The latest one that I ran which is stable (no over clocking) is Fresh 2.1.1, look for this thread title "[ROM] 05/14/10 | Fresh Rom 2.1.1 | Official Sprint RUU + The normal fresh rom goodies"
I have always do this when installed the new ROM.
-Back up all your private apps (not system apps) with Android Commander (search the forums) to your PC.
-Use Recovery and wipe the followings:
1. Wipe Factory / Data reset
2. Wipe Dalvik cache
3. Wipe EXT partition
4. Wipe Battery Stat
Trust me this will save you a lot of hassle and time.
- Re-Installed all your Apps from Scratch using Adroid Commander. This always work best for me. I found less problem and less time consuming doing it this way.
Most of my problems occurred when I am too lazy to WIPE and install new ROM on top of the OLD one with out wiping dalvik and ext partition. An this make it more time consuming.
That's my experience. Hope this help.

Couple of questions. Is wiping the ext partition wiping your SD card? Also, how do I wipe the battery stat? I just booted to my recovery mode but I didn't see that as an option. Maybe I need a new flashrec or something?

what recovery rom are u running? and no wiping the ext partition is not wiping your SD card... just the partition you created..
dont wipe the battery but wipe the sd ext.
the sd ext only wipes what apps you have installed when you partition your sd card. it doesn't remove music, picutres, etc...

The one I am using now is overclock. But the previous one that I used is "recovery-RA-heroc-v1.6.2-blue.img"
You might have the older version. Battery Stat Wipe is just reference for me every time I using a new ROM to see how the battery life is.
As mentioned above, wipe EXT partition will not wipe any pictures or data on the FAT32 of the SD card.
im having a similar issues i cant get my phone to stop restarting. ive wiped everything you can even repartitioned and it sill does it.
are we doing somehting wrong?
i have a thread i started not seeing this one.

check the hardware
As someone suggested, please be sure to rollback to 1.6 to rule out a hardware problem.
I have a battery -- one of four in rotation -- that consistently reboots the phone after it draws down to 80% or so. This is probably the battery that I misplaced and didn't use for a few months. Before I pinned the problem down to this particular battery, I thought 2.1 was haywire, rebooting all the time. Once I pulled the battery out of rotation 2.1 became relatively stable again.
Hi, i have flashed the SPQRom 0.4.1 - CM6 (FroYo), the Google Apps and the market-patch-v1.zip to try out the new system. I have done a nandroid backup, then wiped data and dalvik cache and finally booted into my new system. I've tried it out and then i wanted to get back to my other one (HCDR. Rom 1.6). So i restored and it successed so i pushed "Reboot System Now". It started and started and started and after more than an half hour i could still only see the "tattoo" sign. I put my sd card into my computer... all the files from HCDR. Rom including photos videos etc. are on the card. The phone just doesn't start.
What can i do ?
Thx
Try to start without SD inserted. And make sure your battery has enough power. U did everything right as it seemed to me
doesnt work
Before flash HCDR
wipe dalvik cache and data.
something wrong with boot.img.
If you have goldcard you could restore Tattoo to original state with official ROMhttp://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=5179788&postcount=1 (from step 17).
Or please read this topic http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=768883
first check your battery, it should be over 50% to do anything with tattoo.
try to enter the boot loader ( when is phone off, hold "home" button and press power on button ) when sign tattoo is appear on screen, release them and wait about a minute to loader menu is appear.
Then if your ROM is still on your sd card (named update.zip) choose option flash from sd card, or isn`t try with option wipe, and wipe all except "ext - partition" and reboot.
I have CM7 installed (latest nightly). When I reboot to CWM 3.0.1.0 with the SD card I used to originally install CM7, I can wipe davlik cache as per normal use.
When I reboot my nook with N key and power without my CWM SD card inserted I can do everything in CWM that I have tried, except wipe the davlik cache. When I press wipe davlik cache the screen blips for a second then just stays on that menu choice screen that contains wipe davlik cache. I don't get the yes no accept screen and it doesnt appear to wipe the cache.
What am I doing wrong? I assume it is something I do not fundamentally understand about how CM7 works with the different partitions.
There was a trick to this I read before but don't remember where. Try going up in the menus and unmounting the cache filesystem before doing it. It was something like that. I did it once, it worked, and then I promptly forgot it
For anyone else having this problem, an update to 3.0.2.8 through rom manager did the trick.
Hi, i just installed minicm 10 4.1.2 with swap and sd-ext partitions made in CWM. The problem is that the ext partition is not enabled. i can see it in partitions info, but id doesn't do Anything. All of my apps get installed on internal memory.
Pls help
Use link2sd from the store to move those apps to the sdext
Settings-performance-memory management-A2SD
reboot..
I selected dc2sd. The first tiem it booted, the screen said "Android is optimizing", and after that everything was ok. But when i tried to reboot i was stuck in a bootloop (was waiting for nearly 10 minutes on the cyanogen boot animation) :/
I cleared dalvik cache, and booted up again, again android is optimizing and everything force closes :/
EDIT: Solved it.
It's a matter of selecting dc2sd or a2sd BEFORE installing anything.
So a wipe data/factory reset, wipe dalvik and cache did the work.
Clean install, than immediately select the a2sd metod in settings>performance>memory management
Funny thing thou when i try to see a2sd information, it always gives me error... oh well, at least it works.
Thnx Guys
Hello, I've been trying the hard reset function on the Samsung Galaxy S i9000 but it simply doesn't work fully.
After pressing VOLUME UP + HOME button along with the POWER button, and going to the recovery menu, I select the 'factory reset' option and it says it was 'succesful', even though it was fairly quick, around 5 seconds maximum. I also did the 'wipe cache' option and the 'format internal SD card' option, once again, it says 'successful' each time, but once I turn it on and finish the setup (language, network etc.) and then I head over to settings, it still has my Google account linked and it even remembers my wireless routers password? It also has a few apps left in there.
Keep in mind, I removed my sim card and SD card before rebooting after the factory reset, I still haven't stuck those back in so I can make sure I get a full factory reset.
How can I do a HARD reset, which removes EVERYTHING. So it's kind of like taking out of the box for the first time ever?
Any help is appreciated, thanks.
Have you tried wiping / formatting the SD and USB Storage in Settings
In recovery make sure you do the 4 wipe process (data/factory , partition , dalvik and battery)
Before installing any new Rom

Hello, and thanks for replying.
I'm not trying to install a new ROM, I'm just trying to wipe the whole phone because the phone has been freezing alot.
I have wiped out the internal SD as mentioned above, but for some reason, after I hard reset the phone and turn it back on, in the set up part, my WI-FI password is already there, and so is my Google account/password? Along with a few apps (and the memory card was removed the whole time).. that can't be right?
Sometimes a Hard Reset doesnt resolve the issue thats why we do the full wipe process in Recovery
Along with Unmounting USB and SD and formatting them both in Settings
In settings just Forget Network on your Wireless connection
In Accounts just remove account for your Google Account with menu
What Rom / firmware are you using
can u gives us ur cwn version n hav wipe dalvik?
btw, no juz wiping, fixing permission also can help a lot.
if u say some app still there after formatting, try to disable sync or remove account using gsetting first. then try to factory reset again with wipe cache partition n dalvik cache, manually wipe datadata and data on mount & storage n try to reboot again, and may i ask u what firmware or custom rom r u using?
and sometimes, taking battery out n press power button for 1 minute n release it n put back battery n reboot help resolve many problem occur on i9000
