My phone is now unrooted so I can't use Titanium Backup
I want to ask first is the internal USB storage will be deleted if I downloaded new firmware ??
if yes , how to back up my data to the computer ??
I finished a lot of stages in many games and I want to back their data (only stages data , I can download the game again no problem) to the computer or to the USB Storage if it won't be deleted if I downloaded new firmware
No New firmware won't delete Internal storage, even you flash Wipe ROM

so the levels i finished in games like asphalt 6 & Samurai II won't be deleted ??
that will delete, internal memory means internal sd card. Data on internal sd won't delete. Settings save in system rom, that will delete if u flash wipe rom, but nothing will delete if u flash nonwipe rom

Games Data will be stored in SD card so after flashing new ROM (if it is Wipe ROM) you have to install the game from Market.
@Ranjan
He is asking about level of games, which remains in ROM, that will be deleted(in case of ROM is wipe), Reinstalling won't restore level.

Yes, TB can take backup of that too, when restore, select restore App + Data.
I'm using Slim ICS 3.2 but I want a clean install, I've gone through so many Roms so I don't want any other file conflicts.

Alternatively transfer essentials to computer from your internal sd card>>>factory reset and wipe internal sd card>>>Attach to computer and only transfer back your nandroid backup (you still need this incase something goes wrong) and the rom zip...
Go to recovery wipe data/factory reset>>>wipe cache>>>wipe dalvik>>>mounts and storage>>>format system+cache+datadata+data (I dont wipe boot and you need sdcard)>>>Flash rom
That should give you a very clean install
Cleaner if you clear up your exsd if you have one

First dl. Your rom to sd (don't move it from your download section, this is your internal SD)
Just follow the steps, 3 posts up,but as he said DO NOT WIPE SD-CARD, doesn't matter if u wipe boot nothing bad will happen.remember to also wipe dalvik cache.
After wipe, install your rom and essentials(needed on slim rom) then let it boot.if u restore apps with titanium b. Then only restore app, not app+data otherwise u might have some apps fc
Hope it helped

You have deleted all your pictures music etc on your SD card. Including the rom that you were meant to or have already flashed. Also you may have deleted your backups and possibly your nandroid.
If you haven't flashed flashed yet ensure you make a nandroid backup and transfer the rom you wish to flash onto your sd card.

In GB there is such option, in ICS not. Anyway, I simply connected the phone in storage mode, removed all dirs and files from it. Then factory reset, rom flash ... and now I have a clean system
Thanks for your support.
Or you can connect USB , go to My Computers and Right click on your SD card and Format.
Simple.

Hi guys,
Sorry for the question. I have my moms note. I am good at flashing but I cant seem what went wrong here. I was on official ICS.
I upgraded to leaked Jellybean, all worked wonders, I was on LS7 with Philz kernel. But then I lost root, I read there was a fix for that but then I discovered the problem I need hel with.
I CANT COPY ANYTHING TO INTERNAL OR EXTERNAL STORAGE!!! I tried everything. Wipes, reflash, fix permissions, etc., even format the sd card. But I can´t copy anything....I have checked if they are mounted and no problem. Camera can write to sd. Cant even open Gallery because it says INSUFFICIENT MEMORY. But the phone and card are empty!!!
This had never happened to me....Can anyone help me?
Owww....I so sad...
Just tried with another sd card andd couldnt flash philz new kerenl....signature error....
Im on JB installed via Odin.
Tried installi rocket rom form stock recovery..... starts, android appears and reappears and then it boots back in recovery....
I had the same problem (not enough storage) with Rocketrom and Philz Kernel. I switched to Hydracore V7 and Utackas Paranoidandroid with a full wipe and had no problem ever since. Don't know what caused the problem.

when you flashed the rom again, did you do proper wipes? If not very much concerned about data and apps, the try
make sure you have the rom in your sd card
boot into cwm philz recovery
mounts and storage
format /system
format /data
format /cache
format/preload
then go ahead and install the rom again. restes
Use es file explorer, go to sd card, tap menu then settings then file settings and select show hidden in files, you should now see a folder called. Trash100 it will be full of all your deleted items, although your sd is empty the files are still there just hidden
Delete that folder and reboot. Same applies to external sd too.

Welll apps weren`t a problem since my moms uses almost none LOL.
I went all the way back to 2.3.6, upgraded to 4.0.4 via KIES, rooted with stock recovery, nandroid backup here. Up to here everything working. Went to flash JB and could only flash TWM build. All still worked. I wanted to flash rocket rom but i still get same error of "Installation aborted".
Actual setup is working, without Snote (cant flash fix) and without airview (ditto).
Still missing to try to flash via Mobile Odin.

Hello everyone. I am using Hong Kong GT-N7000, N7000ZSLR1 stock firmware with Android version 4.1.2. Also I use "PhilZ-cwm6-XXLTA-ATL-5.15.0-signed" as recovery but will reset flash counter after using this custom recovery each time (remove yellow triangle).
So let's get to the topic. I am going to install a new ROM, it's called "Beanstalk" or something, Android version 4.4.4, based on CM11. The link of the ROM is here: http://www.romzj.com/resources/samsung.html?view=rom&cid=90&id=14867. But since it's in Chinese so it's just for reference for you guys.
The problem is, I want to do a clean installation. I know that I need to use the recovery to wipe many things, I always do "5 wipes", like factory reset, wipe partition cache, dalvik cache etc. I don't remember so much but that's how I install new ROM. And that's the reason why I don't use stock recovery, I used that Philz becuase it can wipe 5 things for me, and official CWM recovery can't be installed in my phone (I mean the ROM manager app in Google Play Store that can install official CWM recovery), I don't know why, when I open recovery mode after installing official CWM it's still the stock one, maybe I messed with my phone too much before.
Anyway that's not the main concern, now that I think the "5 wipes" still can't completely remove the previous ROM's stuff. For example under the "device root/data/data" directory, some stock firmware's applications' folder still exist (I'm just predicting they will exist from my experience, I'm still in old stock firmware):
http://postimg.org/image/m1jlblhc7/
And some files of old stock firmware's app data is still here in sdcard0, I mean the internal storage of my phone, not external one. Names are like "com.kimi.ggplay.sklrtw" or something. Maybe "update.zip" can be deleted too.
Of course I will use that Philz recovery to backup my whole ROM before flashing new ROM. But I want to know how to completely delete unnecessary items in new ROM? That is, old files of the N7000ZSLR1. Thank you in advance!
Really? No one can help me out?
If you want to completely clean it then you can repartition the device with a pit file. Alternatively you can use "SD maid" to remove left overs like that.

Sorry for choosing this words: but it is simply stupid to "clean" a device by repartitioning it.
It is dangerous and there is completely no indication for using Pit files in this case.

Yup, I agree. But other steps will be a bit harder and less effective. This way you are sure to get it completely cleaned out. Normally, just a /data, /system, /preload will do and if you want to go a lot further then you can also format the internal memory.

Hai, I agree with @ThaiDai that repartitioning is by far too reckless n risky to clean up the device but I agree with you that formatting internal sd card is enough to do the trick as after formatting it will be cleared of everything. The OP of this topic must mean his leftover uninstalled apps folder as many android apps left their folder "just in case" you want to reinstall the app again. These folders usually contain their setting configuration n in some games the saved game files. Quite harmless but it can be annoying when we open our sd card n there r 'alien' folders

1. Formatting the internal memory sounds good, any tutorial on how to use .pit files? And why is it dangerous again?
2. Will it wipe my SMSs and contacts that are saved in my SIM card? Also will it wipes external SD card too?
3. Which custom recovery you think is the best here? For installing ROM.
Thanks in advance!
BTW this is my storage status, you can see my internal memory only consists of 1.975 GB...

1. In short, wrong move in repartitioning will make your note a nice decoration. Search the thread on the why's.
2. Yes, formatting sd card WILL delete EVERYTHING so at least back up your media files before doing it.
3. This question violates XDA rules. Best Roms are roms that YOU think it's best for you n not what other's think.
4. You can learn how yo repartition your device to increase internal storage (mine's at 6 GB). Head to @metalgearhathaway 's thread to learn how to do it. Read, n READ to understand before you try please.

Sorry was driving just now didn't really read through.
1. Choose between 4 / 6 / 8 GB.
2. I myself preferred the longabout way which is to flash the PIT file with STOCK rom, then reboot recovery, do factory reset and format sd card. After that follow procedure of flashing custom roms.
3. Preload modded are for roms that DO NOT use preload partition such as AOSP. They give you extra +/- 500 MB more free memory. Downside is, if you want to reflash Tw based roms in the future, then you will have to repartitiate again.
4. All procedures use ODIN.
5. Please read the rest of the guide yourself. The OP has shown much effort in writing it down.
