Trying to Format Galaxy S but its still retains infomation?

I have a Galaxy S, had some software issues, and bit the bullit and did a hard reset (hte 3 buttons) this didnt fix, so i flashed (no PIT) and this didnt fix
so i've done the PIT + the 3 files, then straight after clear cache, hard reset, reboot and there is still apps (the ones causing the problem) and personal information, like my emails and my email account still on there, all my routers i'm connected to etc.
how do i get this phone back to factory fresh, no information on it apart from the basic. just like it was the first time i switched it on?
its doing my head in

From the Wiki:
*2767*3855# - Factory format. WARNING! ALL DATA WILL BE DELETED AS SOON AS YOU TYPE IN THE FINAL #! IT DOES NOT ASK FOR CONFIRMATION!
Edit: enter it in phone -> dialer.
And be sure to have a working backup!

forgot to mention, tried that
i might make a vid of the magic undeleteable content of all the ways i have tried, and marvel at the wonders.

I wonder if flashing cm7 and then resetting might help???? As it uses a different file system. Just a thought.
Or maybe flashing eclair jm9 - it's a cure-all for most ills.

i thought this too, as i have seen this as a possible solution to others, as wells as JKT or what its called.
but after an hour of searching i cant find any instructions on how to do it, as every post assumes the OP automatically knows.
i think i'm going to hammer a nail through the screen,

Have you got any administrator apps like tektrak or sumthing it caused me problems just like yours

nope, this is the first time i've done anything more than istallining angry birds etc

Jm9 can be downloaded from samfirmware.com use pit 512.
Or try flashing cm7 from recovery first.
Worth a bash. I'd be very surprised if jm9 didn't work though.

Try this you will have to sign up but this works link.

i have PIT 512 from a previuos dowload, but JM9 is another story, samfirmware has no firmware, its on sam mobile, but searching on there for JM9 gives no results, all the links in the forums are either 403 or 404 errors.
but i still cant find a how to install JM9, apart from "just flash JM9"

had this problem too, reset as normal, and then once you flashed over to whatever rom you want, go to sd card and phone storage and "format USB storage" pls be sure to hit the "Thanks" button hope i helped

CM7 based roms can be found in dev section. If I have time tomorrow, I'll upload jm9 to my Dropbox if u still need it.

i search how to fix it and found it on another thread. says "after flashing another rom do a data wipe and ur problem will be resolved.
i have also faced this problem it happens sometimes when changing basebuilds."
well im not sure what to do. and how to do it. there is an wipe data on custom recovery but still nothing. pls help me guys. :crying:

Yup but still google play doesn't load. it only shows not connected or something similar. but now my problem is not the google play anymore.
my phone wont start. after the LG logo my phone gives an error and that says com.android.phone has stopped with the background encryption unsuccessful.
I'm a complete noob on this. but i think I'll just flash a stock rom.

Fixed
i fixed my phone. thanks to spyrosk AIO toolkit. and who ever made the list of stock roms.
i had a hard time restoring my phone but after several errors I've done it.
Google play works fine now. I want to root my o2x again but i'm not sure if it will trigger my first problem.
any ideas or proper instructions ?

The AIO toolkit is way to go to root properly. You should think if you want to stay GB bootloader or switch to oval. You should also think which rom it should be. Stock or custom stock or cm/miui. That error never occurred by me BTW.

Thanks for the reply. yes! everything is fine and working. Now i need to read/study other things for me to understand. i'll try reading about Custom Roms.

[Q] Strangest soft-brick I have ever seen.

I will try to explain what happened in as much detail as possible, but if this is not descriptive enough feel free to ask for more information.
As the title suggests, I have soft-bricked my phone. I can not figure out what the hell is the problem here.
I have flashed a custom rom to my device, the latest viper rom to be exact. I am assuming you know what a boot loop is, but with this it is not a boot loop. It is rather a reboot loop (?). Instead of staying on the bootup, it will load into android. It will allow me to interact with settings and things for say 1-2 minutes, then it will reboot.Some times before it crashes it will show an error message of "system has stopped responding." Other times it will just *FLASH* go straight off without warning. I have tried to flash other roms, to no avail. I have tried to clear the cache, dalvic cache, entire system, all to no avail. I have zero idea of what can be causing this, and no thread or video or anything can seem to tell me.
So please. I'm coming to you as a man who has tried everything he could find for the past 3 days. I am hoping that this is a fix that I just did not see, and I am being an idiot. Never the less, please help me in fixing this problem.

Could be a bad download did you check the MD5 before flashing?
When you wiped pre-install did you wipe cache/dalvik cache/system/data or use superwipe(does the same thing just all in one session)?

I wiped cache/dalvik cache/system/data.
It was not a bad download I believe, because I tried with like 5 different roms.
Check MD5? I have no idea how to check that, so sorry about that.
Thank you so much for at least responding.

Usually not a big deal for roms but it will tell you if the MD5 matches from what was uploaded and what you downloaded

What are the odds that OP downloaded 5 bad ROMs?
Question to Op: did you download it directly onto your phone?
I suggest not doing that. In my experience, they have resulted in bad downloads far too often. This includes ROM manager and goo.im apps.
Did you download the zip onto a PC, then transfer it to your phone via USB?

I sent it to my phone using adb sideload.
I can't even have enough time on Android to download anything.
PS: Not sure if this will help you or not, but when I open the app drawer there is nothing.
There is no pre-loaded widgets, there is no shortcuts.
Just a toolbar, a home launcher with no apps, and the settings.

IIRC sideload only wipes cache and dalvik cache

I do it before flashing any rom, and if it doesn't work then I flash again with no success.

I need to figure this out.

i have exactly the same issue with you. i tried to flash 4.2.2 sense and 4.1.2 sense with no success. currently i am trying to download AOKP ROM to see if that have any difference, but the download speed is poor in my place.

I doubt it man.
Nothing seems to work.
I flashed a new rom, and now I can't even load recovery or get past fastboot.
Not sure what the rom has to do with not being able to run recovery, but whatever.

As was already mentioned, have you tried to RUU back to completely stock so at least you have a baseline to work from? It honestly sounds to me like something physical may have been fried if all the roms you flash after wiping clean give the same result. If you can RUU back to stock, and still have the issue, then you may have the option of having it replaced by Sprint. Do all the roms you flash give the exact same symptoms (including the app drawer issue?)

RUU doesn't seem to work for me.
I have tried to run like 10 different RUU's and none of them work.
PS: Not all the roms give the exact same issues. The viper rom does what I said. Another rom (can't remember name) did the same thing as the viper rom. ARHD removes my recovery and doesn't even let me attempt to run it. That's all the roms I have tried so far, except RUU. RUU just says incorrect device or something.
EDIT: Just flashed Cyanogen mod rom. It shows all apps, and it does everything. The only problem is that it still reboot loops. Everything works, but the phone reboots itself after 30 seconds.

Are you using the right RUU for your hboot version? As far as I understand, you can flash forward with the RUU but not backward.

[Q] Samsung galaxy note n7000 camera failed issue please help

hi I got a samsung galaxy note n7000 last week on ebay. The seller wrote in his advertisement, that the camera doesn't work, so I knew what I was buying. Every time I open the camera app (or any other apps that use the camera; front and back) the app freezes, the screen is black (apart from the camera functions and the viewfinder) and then tells me "camera failed" and closes. I have tried to go into app settings to force the app to close and clear cache but nothing. I also flashed several different stock roms (from gingerbread to jellybean with factory reset and clear cache in the hidden android menu before phone start). But no luck either. I even bought a new rear camera and installed it, in hope it would solve the problem (which it didn't) but it must be software related, as the front camera doesn't work either.
Any idea guys as to what I can do to get the camera working again? Phone is updated with the latest software and so are all the apps. I checked with memory card and without and formatted memory card and phone...PLEASE HELP :'(
Thank you in advance for your help.
Val
PS. I know about flashing and using odin, I have also rooted a phone before but you need to explain anything in detail for me please as otherwise I will have to ask stupid questions over and over. Thank you!!!

Replacing the camera module should have helped. If you have tried different ROMs, it sounds to me like it is a motherboard issue. Maybe a fried circuit or something.
If thats it, then trying to fix it is a waste of time, sorry...

np, but you did a full wipe on save kernel and flashed official rom right?
Dr ketan posted service manual guides that have the blueprints of the inner workings. Then you would have to take it appart and manual inspect it, check if connectors and touchpoints are alligned. At this point I would check Samsung service centres or a local electrician repair shop. They have the equiptment.
However flashing original old gb rom with pitfile just to check with that wipe. Then download logcat viewer and check what logs say when you startup the camera, and try to take a picture. Should state something as well

Hey thanks for your fast reply. I'm not home right now so I cannot do what you've suggested. When flashing, I flashed the pit file via odin that I downloaded via Google search of 'jelly bean stock room samsung galaxy note n7000'. Before flashing I have always performed a wipe cache and factory reset in the secret android menu. You said about flashing safe kernel. What exactly does that mean? I have seen many posts mentioning safe kernel but couldn't find an explanation as to what I need to do. Thanks

Why gb just to be sure its not the rom you are flashing.

ok now I have managed to root the phone as catlog requires root access...I have started the program and pressed record.

based on that error a few workarounds could work. I recommend backup efs on and off computer. And try gb rom with pitfile.
If you are root and on Phills kernel, head into recovery, format everything in mounts, cache, factory reset and somewhere dalvik cache. (so take out external sd card before)
Then flash with odin via dr ketans way a for your country csc gb rom with pitfile. All in dr ketans stickied thread. During this keep sim and sd card out, also after.
Then when gb boots check your camera, does it work victory. Ditch the jb rom your flashed and get a original one from dr keyans thread or sammobile.
If it doesnt work, dial *2767*3855# that will perform a factory reset. Then in settings/storage format sd. Try again! Yes victory, not then its definately hardware error.
During this process do no recover any backups or syncs with google.
Untill all above fails then proceed with checking with service manuals if camera is properly attached and or you see abnormalities on hardwareboard. Then you need a electrician or Samsung to fix it. lol

Ok I'll try that. Sorry but what is csc gb room? Is this the flash file I'll find in Dr keatons sticky? Are you allowed to post a link to said post? Found one by Dr keaton but I'm unsure if it's the right one... Grateful for your help

csc is a three letter code that signifies country sales code, most efs corruption comes from flashing different csc roms. Which is why efs backup is important, only needed once, to backup on and of with e.g. ktool. Save if from your sd to computer so you wont loose it when you do the formats.
hope this fixes it
all at own tisk
sorry for spelling errors, its drKetan btw.

sorry didn't mean to write it wrong but on the phone app you can't see what's previously been said. Anyway *#272*myimei# doesn't work. i get a message saying "connection problem or invalid MMI code" I have full signal...that can't be the problem. my phone is a UK version and I have always used the UK roms to flash.
Thanks for your great advice

in that case if you have efs backup it shouldnt matter to much. Try the uk one indeed. Best the earliest possible, as its directly roottable as per dr ketan. Should you need root.

[Q] Problems Installing - ★AMCHA Rom v5.00

So I've tried installing this half a dozen times, I did a full wipe I'm using the i9305 and installing this using both kernel options for the knox based bootloader, after it completes installation it says complete, reboot the phone and I end up stuck at the Samsung Galaxy s3 black screen and it never boots into the os.
I noticed while installing this it installs some modem not sure what one it is but I thought perhaps that was the issue, to installed went straight into download mode and flashed a optus modem i've been using for my phone rebooted but still same issue.
Would appreciate some help with this, I've tried searching the thread for similar issues no such luck.
Thanks

Thanks but it's not that, I wasn't even aware of having to use the newer one for the recovery till recently and have been using the one for the old recovery even tho I have the new one... either way, I tried installing both the new and old recovery's same results.

i see, well your 2 posts away from being able to post in development thread, you will get better help in rom thread try a full wipe anyway and install the rom with default aroma settings, maybe the problem lies in some setting you change in aroma installer..

True, that could be it, except i thought of that myself and just hit next next next to the end and hit install to see if it would help matters it didn't. Yeah I tried posting there to begin with, but even if your an advanced person you have to post here first lol fun times
I did think maybe there's a newer version of philz recovery out and mine just buggers it up some how it offers to install 6.41.6 not sure what my version is.. it crossed my mind tho but I wouldn't presume that's the most likely of causes.

hmm.. well philz 6.41.6 is the latest one a.t.m and roms these days need up to date recovery so you can give it a shot if you are not on philz yet. here is the latest one http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...covery-i9305-cwm-philz-twrp-versions-t2694249
flash it with odin then try again, hopefully this will fix your problem
