Hello,
I need to format my phone as I first got it..
To delete all unneeded files
What should I do?
And what ROM will be there after I'm done?
*Formatting system from CWM, won't erase internal card content, so unneeded files still existing
Please help
boot into CWM and load USB storage and format them... or connect to pc and delete all files.
format /system : will delete system partition
you will be on the same rom if you dont use format/system..
to change the rom to stock you will need to install a stock rom using PC odin.. so before you do that clean up all you need

Instructions in installing RocketRom w/o external sdcard.
-------------------------
I already root my phone. XLA4 CF-Root Kernel.
Thanks in advance.
Sorry for my english.
Im not used to speak this way.
Apologies!
1. you will lose your use application(you have installed manually), you will lose settings(account, contacts, msgs, desktop setting etc), in sort you will have note as it came at time of purchase(accept your ROM will remain LA4 is it is). but you won't lose Root/CWM.
2.go to setting - privacy - reset phone
3.Mobile Odin Pro can b used without Ext SD card.

1 more question.
Do i need to dowgrade again my version to install the custom rom?
No, you already have Root + CWM
just install Mobile Odin Pro from Market, as you dont have Ext SD card.

I forgot something.
Just to be sure.
Mobile Odin Pro can recognize Zip files right?
Im not used to install custom rom because the files are separated not like the
XLA4 i got. .MD5.
Ya mobile odin can read zip file
In full wiping the phone. Do i need to check the FORMAT USB STORAGE?
THANKS A LOT!
It will erase all data on internal memory, as such it is not needed.

Ya before this, when you have updated to LA4, you may have keep option to push Mobile Odin pro, in everroot option, thats Y it pushed as sytem file. and system files dont get erase in reset phone.
I think if your custom ROM has flashable zip, then only CWM will work, there is no need to have ext Card to flash a zip file. select flash update in CWM select your file n it shud b work

I flash update. then it reboots then nothing happens.
anyone?
Help pls.
It seem CWM full wipe isnt enough, it left the data in sdcard and root. How to "clean' up totally and safely. If possible I dont want to mess with the repartitioning maybe some full format would be nice. Any guide from experienced user...thanks

If you are on safe kernel you can wipe/format sd card by following these two methods :-
Go to Settings>Storage>Format SD Card (Internal)
oR
Reboot in CWM Recovery
Go To Mount & Storage
Format SD Card (Internal)
Hope it helps
Cheers!!!

this will full wipe
*2767*3855#
recommended only if you are on GB OR ICS with safe kernel.
Root will not still remove, you need to reflash Stock ROM(recommended GB) with PC odin to unroot.
on cwm and safe kernel.
Take out out external sd card
wipe factory, cache and dalvik
Then in mounts format everything except efs. Phone wont boot but will boot recovery and download mode.
Put external back in and install zip, or pc odin your prefered way. With regular pitfile if switching GB or ICS.
Cleanest way possible to my knowledge.
When not switching and on safe kernel dr ketans way is the way.

but my phone is already rooted, do i need to root it again?
No. Only flash cwm.
CMW isnt root
So, what's the topic i must follow in the topic that Frank provided?
Download cwm5 and flash in stock recowery.
I can't install cwm5..
I copy the file to my sdcard.
Then i reboot my phone at recovery mode.
After that I go to apply update from sdcard -> recovery-clockwork-5.zip
After that it was suppose to install cwm5 right?
But this is what happens:
--Install /sdcard ...
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Installation aborted.
For some reason the installation isn't working..
Ensure its the correct version for you're phone model

Yeah, my bad. You have to flash thru odin. If you downloaded the files from previous posts, download odin v1.85 and place the files like this: PDA (.tar file) and PIT (512.pit .. or something like this; it has to be. pit). Make sure RE-PARTITION is unticked and others two are ticked. Put your phone in Download mode and plug-in USB cable. If appears "ADDED" in odin, press start. If doesn't appear, u will need the driver. It should rebot and VOILA!

However i'm not able to install the ROM..
I want this:

When I try to Flash ROM the installation fails.
Does this happens because i'm on galaxy ace s5830i instead of s5830?

I cannot access my present usb storage memory from 'Install zip from sd' option in System Recovery and the reason according to me for this is I switched off my mobile before storage scan completes and so partial scanned files are visible ONLY in system recovery . I reflashed the XXLQB version (which I am currently using) even did cache and data wipes twice. I also formatted my USB storage also but still I can see the folders and files which were partially scanned. The changes i make to those folders are not reflected in system recovery. I even flashed XXLQ4 firmware but the system recovery showed the same files inspite of an empty USB storage. Luckily the root.zip (by Shaan) had been scanned, so I can root my device after flashing.
Please Help guys !!!

As I remember stock recovery only see external memory. So you can't use internal anyway.

You remember correctly. I tried it a couple of days ago and stock can only see external.
Flash a custom kernel (there is a stock kernel with TWRP recovery on the forum if you don't want a custom kernel).

Clean flash a new ROM and only restore your data partition. By restoring image.zip you're flashing your entire backup which of course is broken...
