I'd like to format my tab completly, because my internal memory is a little bit confusioned with more directory and file... I tried a wipe data/factory reset from recovery, but dirs and file remained... What way should I follow???
Will purchased apps remain free after format? Or will I pay another time for them?
I think I rooted my tab, because I used titanium backup to copy settings apps...
I solved... I followed this instruction:
1. press the Menu key
2. select Settings
3. scroll to and select Privacy
4. scroll to and select Factory Data Reset
5. select Reset Phone
6. select Erase Everything
Then I reinstalled all purchased apps...:good:

It's 100% wipe datas ? ... But how to backup datas and restore all my apps

This is after reset back to ea24. All my old info is still there after doing a factory Wipe, wipe cache. All apps crash, and Internal Device storage says only 35.95 MB free. This is with a new flash to EA24 and nothing installed.
Anyone know how else you can force the tab to reset to factory or wipe factory partition and reflash?
BTW this all started right after I updated the Dolphin browser, which did not remember my settings and started the first ran wizard everytime the Dolphin browser was opened.
This is the directions from Samsung Support, but the first step does not take me to any recovery screen. It turns the tab on and then back off if you hold it for 15 seconds.
Victoria: Power off the device.
Victoria: Hold the Vol Down Key + Vol Up Key + Power Key for 15 seconds then release.
Victoria: When the recovery screen comes up, use the volume up key and volume down key to navigate through the selections and the power key to select item.
Victoria: Select Delete all user data to recover the device.
Victoria: To confirm, scroll down and select Yes – delete all user data.
Victoria: The device reboots and again displays the recovery screen.
Victoria: Select Reboot system to restart the handset again.
Those steps should have indeed wiped out any and all settings, apps etc, so if they're still there after doing the wipe (might try doing the process 3x.. galaxy s devices seem to have better luck 3x.. and no you don't have to reboot into recovery, just do the wipe 3x in recovery.) then you might have a messed up device...
After attempting the steps above a few more times now the tab is locked in the Computer and Phone icon and no way to boot in to any other mode. Time to contact Samsung for a return?
Are u able to get into download mode maybe reflash to origional firware and see if it does the same thing
Lots of people have bluescreen problem with CWM6 but someone doesn't know that the recovery is working except the bluescreen problem.
So you can do everything with this recovery despite the bluescreen. In fact if you use volume buttons and home buttons you can flash,wipe,reboot,etc.
But the problem is: how can I do it if I can't see what I'm doing?
Now,after some reboots, I had CWM6 without bluescreen one time so I wrote each menu entry and so I'm sharing it with you:
Main menu:
reboot system
install zip
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
backup and restore
mounts and storage
advanced
Install zip submenu:
choose zip from sdcard
choose zip from last install folder
install zip from sideload
toggle signature verification
Wipe data/factory reset submenu:
no
yes
Wipe cache partition submenu:
no
yes
Backup and restore submenu:
backup to sdcard
restore from sdcard
delete from sdcard
advanced restore from sdcard
free unused backup data
choose default backup format
Advanced submenu:
reboot recovery
reboot to bootloader
power off
wipe dalvik cache
report error
key test
show log
Now the problem is how to flash a new rom? you can use CWM Manager or you can use CWM directly.
For example if you want to flash CM11-COOPER.zip via CWM, and not with the CWM manager app,you should:
-put the rom in the sdcard
-rename the rom zzCM11-COOPER.zip so it will appear at the end of the list
-reboot in cwm
- vol down -> home button -> home button -> vol up -> home button -> vol down -> home button
- wait some minutes for flashing
- press back button some times (just to be sure you came back to the main menu)
- press home button (reboot system)
If you want to wipe cache you should:
- boot in cwm
- vol down -> vol down -> vol down -> home button -> vol down -> home button
If you want to wipe dalvik cache you should:
-boot in cwm
- vol up -> home -> vol down -> vol down -> vol down -> home button -> vol down -> home button
P.S: I noticed that CWM6 is slower than CWM5 so you must do each step slowly to be sure everything works well.
P.S.2: sorry for my english!
finding ways against all odds! evil trick.
ty men its really helped just did it and i have kit kat on xd i didnt wipe beacuse i had cm 10.1 so i didnt need to wipe at all so just put the room and start to install after 2minits i did rebot and that all
ty
Thank you!
Thank you so much! I was stuck on this blue screen issue, and your menu list helped me get the latest kitkat rom on my samsung ace. First I did a factory reset following your menu, but i didn't know how to return to the begining after it completed it. So I just pulled out the battery and powered back into the blue screen to do the cache wipe, pulled the battery again once I felt the process should be done. Then I restrted back to the blue screen and followed youf steps to put the rom on the phone. I left it for maybe 20 minutes, because i didn't know how long it would take for it to complete. Pulled out the battery again, started the phone normally, and now I have kitkat.
Thanks again for posting the menu.Couldn't have done this without it!
and format/system????

ok - i flashed the phone with CM12 (with odin) .
Flashing all ok. Then i go to twrp and wipe Dalviak and Cache.
After system boot only the " Samsung Screeen ..." appears.
After that i try a new flash with CM 11 but allways the same .. " Samsung Galaxy ...) . .. nohing else
are you sure you are not wiping system or data?
i thing i wiped both
Only wipe dalvik & cache after flash, not system and data

i do the descriptions on nova fusion with odin3 (cm12)::
...
6) Turn off your phone, and then use VOL- & HOME & POWER buttons combination.
7) If you see Warning screen, use VOL+ button.
8) You should see Android and some information.
9) Connect phone to computer and make sure it is detected by Odin (it will appear as COM device). If it doesn’t, try to use other USB port.
10) Use Start button. Wait until flash process will finish.
11) Your phone will restart, but probably won’t boot. Pull down your battery and use VOL+ & HOME & POWER buttons combo to boot into recovery.
-> all ok -> twrp 2.7.1.0
12) Click on Wipe, then use slider on the bottom to let process begin.
-> here iam not realy sure - i do dalviak and cache wipe
-> i get an error - E:Unable to mount "/system"
13) Click on Home icon, and then Reboot -> System.
Wait for boot. Now you should have ROM installed and ready to use!
-> nothing happens -i have onlythe start screen" Samsung ...."
I always flash roms from zip file with twrp & don't usually have any problems, maybe you should try that method instead

Yes you are right , but dont have a chance to put the files on the phone,
because i have only two modus:
1) Modus twrp - how you can put file on the phone ?
2) and the downloading modus - and there i know only odin software
How you then put files on the device ?
Put the file on ext sd card, boot into twrp recovery, factory reset, then select install, install from ext sd, select zip file, wait till installed, then wipe dalvik & cache, reboot system, do full nandroid backup, first just incase so you can go back to previous rom & settings
Sent from my GT-I8190 using XDA Free mobile app
yes i know - but when you say ..Put the file on ext sd card ...
how schould i do this ?
there is no adb, there is no system - only twrp modus or starting screen...
connect the phone to pc & open sd card or put sd card in a card reader & transfer then boot into twrp recovery& do wipes & installation as explained
Did you have any luck with this problem yet?

*NEED HELP PLS*
1-My phone doesn't keep time/date/language when I reboot
2-The language goes back to French when I reboot
3-All my apps show the stop error when i make any setting change after reboot
4-Any app that I install after reboot will disappear on the next reboot, except the SU app I installed as zip from sdcard in CWM-based recovery window
5-The phone make sound when I connect to pc but doesn't to ask to chose connection mode, so pc doesn't detect it even though I have USB Debug enabled
6-I did the wipe data/factory reset several times but there's no change when i switch ON the phone even though the wipe data/factory reset was successful.
7-The only button combination that works is the one to go to Download Mode (Volume Down + Home + Power )
8-I can only go to Recovery Mode when I try to factory reset in the phone settings. The phone will restart and take me to Recovery Mode
-Odin is unable to detect the phone.
I just think is the internal storage that is corrupted or something but i can't tell for sure. So please i need ur help on how to fix this problem or if there is any app that i can install as zip from sdcard in CWM that can scan or format or fix this problem
Samsung Galaxy Note N7000ZSLO2
Model Number : SHV-E160S
So I wanted to update my android to lolipop (5.1) and followed the instruction below :--
-Connect your Galaxy Note to your PC using USB cable and copy the downloaded files to the SD card of your Galaxy device.
-Disconnect your Samsung Note N7000 and power it off.
-Now boot it in to the CMW recovery mode: press and hold Volume Up, Home and the Power buttons simultaneously. Use Volume keys to highlight and Power button to select.
-Nandroid backup: select Backup and Restore option to perform the Nandroid backup of your current OS.
-Data wipe operations: go to wipe data/factory reset and confirm the operation. Also wipe cache partition and finally go for wipe dalvik cache to clean it up too.
-Now, select install zip from sdcard and then choose zip from Sdcard. Locate the NightOwl Android 5.1 Lollipop file and confirm its installation.
-When the ROM installation completes successfully, repeat the above step for installing the GApps package.
-Once done, go back to main recovery menu and select reboot system now.
-Wait until your device boots in to the very new Android!
But when i tried to install it, it says installation failed and my battery case was opened and my battery dropped. When i restart my phone it says, logo_q1.jpg draw failed. Is there anyway to fix this? I even tried to boot it in CWM mode but it didn't work, "logo_q1.jpg draw failed" is still there
