[Q] After Flashing the newest Rom - Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help &

I flashed the newest Rom for France but I did not loose my data and the system apps from SFR Rom are still installed. Is it Normal ?
I want to remove completely every thing from SFR and only keep the Stock Rom from Samsung
Can someone explain me why SFR apps were not uninstalled please ?

because flashing a rom doesn't wipe data, you do that yourself. please read the basic guides before posting

there's a button for that

I don't know if it has a link with no wipe data, but now my data connexion turns on whenever it wants, even when wireless connexion is on. I don't mind for the data lost but my battery empties quicker.
what could be the problem, any Idea ?

so have you wiped?

No I haven't wipe when i flashed the Stock ROM, but I think i should have done it.
I'll do it tomorrow

Make sure your wiping old data in recovery.. and if flashed a new kernal or radio could also cause a problem too

yes i did Wipe data/factory reset ,Wipe cache,Wipe Dalvik-cache but just now i discovered that after doing this and still last installed rom has not been wiped its still there wtf what should i do and yes i did install 2.6.34.1_AVS-925mV_BFS_1113Mhz kernel how do i completely wipe everything???
Umm also do wipe sd partition, then do another wipe factory and cache-.. then do a repair sd then try to flash new rom.. this is what i usually do when i install new roms
still no luck i even did clear storage then wiped everything and i dont use app2sd(ext) i dontunderstand what to do i even tried with the clockworkmod's recovery still the same
sorry man, My only guess and idea is try to flash back to a normal kernal, then flash rom.. only thing i can come up with atm, or you can wait and see if some one that comes up with a better solution
where can i find norman kernel or any kernel which can fix this?

[Q] Is JVZ(Odin flash) a non wipe?

Guys I for a sec thought my phone was haunted!!
Steps I followed-
Was on Simplicity(tried from SURFACE too) Rom, did not wipe anything.. just went to download mode from Power menu Options.
Download JVZ base from SamMobile.
Flash via Odin.(YES, repartition was ticked)
Wait for it to reboot.
Then I see 4-5 things giving force close, and the worst part was that all the previous apps including Superuser were still there all forceclosing.. !!!
The same happened all times (4)...
Did anybody face the same problem? Is there a solution or something?
After flashing a new ROM (no matter what ROM) you have to do a Factory Reset and install your Apps from scrach. This is the best solution.
But you try first with few hope to delete Cache and Davlik from CWM Recovery Menu. If it wont work, try factory reset. Back-up your files becouse it will delete them all.

Agree with this, if not you might find alot of your apps will keep force closing
Guys did u understand the situation first of all? What are u telling?
I am telling here that Odin wipes every partition and all apps are removed if u flash a ROM through ODIN but when I flashed JVZ through Odin, it actually didn't wipe anything surprisingly!!
Apps were still there and fc-ing..

Man, calm down a bit, will you?
I've flashed Odin ROMs many times, and I can tell you that not every time you flash (even with repartition enabled) your phone will be completely wiped.
But then, as stated before, you should do a factory reset. Is it so difficult to go to settings>backup and restore>reset factory data? I don't think so.
Bye!

Help needed urgently

Hello xda , my phone note was rooted with stock rom with cwm 6.0.1.2. I accidentlly installed a rom through recovery without making a nandroid back up and wiping data. After restarting the phone Im getting a yellow triangle. I can get into download mode and recovery but i dont want to lose data.
I am not able to make a nandroid back since its giving me an error
I cannot mount usb or data through recovery.
Please help me out as i dont want to lose data.
Quick help will be appreciated.
Sorry Friend ..there is no way to solve this problem .. your baseband or system version has gone unknown that's the reason its showing only traingle .. so flash your device again .. it will be wipe all of your data .

so did you wipe data or not?
give more info about the rom & kernel you were on and the rom you installed. where is the phone stuck after reboot?
is the phone booting ?
yellow triangle only comes from flashing files through ODIN, are you sure there isnt something else youve done?
Which ROM did you install ?
I was totally on stock and I dont remember cleary how I had rooted my phone. Its just that the data is there because when im making a nandroid back up i can see the files name i had while its making the back up. but It stops almost at the end
please please i dont want to lose data.

media (pics, videos etc) is stored on the Internal sd card (if there is no external sd card), a full wipe WILL NOT wipe your sd card, it will only remove all your apps and the app data (configurations, game saves etc)
as for contacts, these will be deleted, but google syncs regularly so they should be automatically restored when you log back in after wiping.

alright i am gonna try a full wipe first. I hope pictures and videos dont get deleted
they wont get deleted and wipe may not solve the issue as the system partition is corrupt with the incomplete flash and you will need to install a rom... either the stock or the one you were trying to install...
1. if you install the stock rom again > you may be able to preserve the contacts,
2. if you go with the custom rom > then format the system, data and cache partitions for a clean install. (this will not delete the media)

[Q] Flash stock ROM by Odin dont erase all user data?

I was surprised that after flashing stock ROM by ODIN, phone was not cleaned from the user data.
I mean: account settings, applications installed by user, etc.
I know that flashing dont erase data from internal/external SD card, but why all data was still exist?
Only Wipe Data / Factory Reset will erase all user data?
Btw, Merry Xmas

Nope, factory reset will not erase all user data. Go into setting/storage and delete from there (not sure cause I didn't have the device now). If you want to erase using odin, tick the repartition box while flashing the firmware. This is the easiest way I think.
Odin flash doesn't wipe user apps and their data, but it may cause bugs if you come from another ROM...
E.g : if u soft bricked on stock JB, just odin flash is necessary.
for other ROMs, it may or may not lag.
I will describe my way.
I tried to install CM 10.2
I did factory reset, next steps follow procedure.
When I did first start, unfortunately keyboard stop working, so my cyjanogen install failed and I decided back to old system using backup.
After restore and start, phone required settings like on first start after factory reset.
Lol, big surprise.
Ok, I entered necessary information but after reset -
again same like after factory reset
I tried from another backup with same result.
Hmm, big mess.
So I flash stock ROM by Odin.
And new surprise - phone with fresh system and all my own settings and applications from last restore.
Two disappointments:
1. Restore from backup does not cause a return to the initial state.
2. Flash ROM by Odin don't make factory state of phone.
I have question, if format partitions: system and data and next restore backup will do real state phone on this backup?

1. Almost every restore from backup for me it returned phone on state when backup was made. Only if my backup was bad (did not have enough place on sd for backup or something corrupted it).
2. Flashing stock ROM by Odin do not touch data partition (or folder whatever it is). So if you want to erase that, you need to make factory reset. It is like that on every Samsung Android device - I am not sure for other, never used.
When you come back from any CM10.2, Omni 4.3 and CM11 based ROM - first flash stock with Odin, do factory reset - and after that restore backup (ofcourse first root, install CoCore kernel for CWM before restore - you can't use restore in stock recovery).
Tnx for answers.
This is weird that format system partition not enough to get rid of the CM
But I checked this again and exactly after refresh ROM by Odin - restore my settings and data works fine.
Hmm imo this is mess in whole Android system

Explanation for that, TeamJanica used preload partition for swap, and it is patitioned in other format than the one stock ROM use. That partition is not used on CM for files, but it has it's use on stock based ROM.

supposedly you have downloaded the stock FW, flash via Odin with re-partition ticked. if it fails, extract the PIT file from CSC_OMC_OXM_XXX save it in a location and load it at the pit session via Odin the re-flash again with re-partition ticked.

The latest fw it's from Vietnam?? umm
There's no problem, but I suggest you to flash an European fw in order to avoid signal/coverage troubles because of each fw includes a modem from a different area. For me the Spanish KTM is the best

Here is the link on how to install stock rom using odin along with all firmwares and drivers (check the "Preparations" section),
Flash stock rom on Samsung Galaxy Ace S5830 using odin
You can find all the necessary details for flashing as well as all the firmwares in this link. If your PC cannot recognize the phone, its usually the drivers. Once installed, go to recovery mode and do a wipe data/ factory reset & wipe cache (otherwise bootloop might occur). Then restart. Now you have successfully flashed the stock rom. Here is the link for rooting and installing CWM 5 on Samsung Galaxy Ace (just install these zip from the recovery mode),
How To Root and Unroot Samsung Galaxy Ace?
CWM 5.0.2.6 fix for Samsung Galaxy Ace S5830
You can use the single firmware installation. No need to download files like boot, pda, etc separately. Also you can download the firmware near to your region. Hope I Helped

Before you do any of these things, make sure to backup you apps. Go to CWM and do "Wipe data/ factory reset" and "Wipe Cache partition". Also go to Mount and Storage> Format /system. Finally Advanced> "Wipe Dalvik Cache" and "Wipe Battery Stat". Now reinstall the rom again. It might solve the issue. As for the stable custom rom, you can always go with CM 7 i.e. Android 2.3.7 based roms. CM 7 based roms are much stable than CM 9, CM 10 and CM 11 roms. As per xda rules, I cannot suggest you the best rom. But here is list of all roms for our Ace. You can flash this yourself to decide which is the best. Here is the link,

Once you have installed the stock rom, go to recovery mode and do a wipe data/ factory reset & wipe cache (otherwise bootloop might occur).
i did but still same problem
if i only restart the phone this doesnt happen, only when i shut it down i cant understand this and its so annoying
