How can I reset Nike to the factory settings? Is there so called "format" function available?
Check the wiki...
edit: just checked myself, and nothing there... Under start->settings->system (tab), tap on 'clear storage' and follow the instructions. you will lose all your data, so back it up...

Does "clear storage" wipe only the memory card or does it wipe whole phone (incl. storage card)?
internal memory only
I would remove my storage card if I were you though (just to be safe)
It should just restore the phone, and not the storage card. to be safe, you could remove the card.

Thanks, factory reset succeed without problems!
Ps. If you have encrypted your memorycard, disalbe encrypting because otherwise you data is lost (or backup data to pc before actions).

So I was thinking since I have been downloading, trying, messing, uninstalling, installing etc etc
You get the picture.
Was thinking of giving my Galaxy a bit of a clean.
So my thoughts were:
Option A
1. Make a record of what programs I actually like not what I have installed.
Maybe screen shots might be the idea.
2. Factory data reset my Galaxy.
3. Unmount and format my internal memory
4. Unmount and format my SDCard
5. Do settings and account
6. Install applications.
7. Transfer music.
Sound like a good idea??
Option B
Someone said I should clean out what applications I don't want first and suggested an easier method.
1. Backup data and system settings with BackupPro
2. Backup applications with AppMonster
3. Factory reset.
4. Unmount and format my internal memory
5. Unmount and format my SDCard
6. Install applications Appmonster
7. Install settings and data BackupPro
8. Transfer music.
Which option would be better. Would I get some bad data if I did Option B.
Advice greatfully received.
MyBackup (a back up program ) lets you choose what programs to backup.
You could just backup what you need you want to keep, hard reset it, and put what you want back on.
Thats my suggestion. I'll be doing this soon, I've been messing around so much with it!
Yeah one of my options is to do this.
I have folders and junk left over from Applications I have uninstalled.
If I installed Clockwork will it be removed with a Factory Data reset or should I flash the phone again with JM2.?
ClockworkMod is stored on the internal SD card, so a factory reset shouldn't remove it (I'm not sure if flashing a firmware wipes the internal SD though).
Try TitaniumBackup for your backup needs.
Why do you want to format the SDCard? Is that really necessary? Does it really improve the performance? (I hope not, transfering 14Gb of music files is just too much)
And, do you a perform a factory reset from the settings/privacy menu on the galaxy or from the bootscreen (that is triggered by adb reboot command). I have the idea that the first option is much more thorough than the second.

For JP2 their was a noticable improvement after reformating the SDCard.
Since I have a lot of left over folders and what's not was thinking this could be a good time to clean up.
I would use the Settings>Privacy>Factory Data Reset.
Hello,
I cannot wipe data trough CWM, and cannot install new ROM (it boots forever).
Looks like I have got internal memory problems...
I can boot CWM only.
Any idea how to format internal memory thru CWM?.. Or any other advice?..

Have you gone into CWM "mounts and storage" and formatted system, data, and cache?

I just "wiped" it all. Is there any menu choice to format them?

Well if you went into the "mounts and storage" menu as advised, you'd see only two options for system, data, and cache, which would be "mount" or "format".
Which would you choose?
Somehow all that CWM formats didn't work for me...
Even after I placed the empty file"eraseData" (according to Thor) to CWM folder....
Actually, hardware reset saved my tablet
It didn't format the whole thing too, but it cleaned /data/ at least.
Any way, thank you very much for your help.
Does there exist some tool like "checkdisk" for Android?
I believe I still have to check somehow my internal memory card...,

I did an extensive search for an android disk utility, but couldn't find one, sorry
Oops, just found one, but it's only a defrag utility:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.disk.defrag.rubiks&hl=en
long shot.. but.. you haven't encrypted your tablet have you?
If you've encrypted your tablet in order to access corporate exchange servers then you will find that none of these will work until you've done a factory reset (through the annoying as hell switch flicking method )

Is it safe to format SD card via Clockwork mode recovery?
Recovery - - > mounts and storage -> format /sdcard
Is it safe to do so? after installing ROM?
If you format your sdcard you delete ALL what is on your phone. When you only want to have a clear and fast rom without apps and deleted data but want to keep your personal files then use the point in Cwm "format data" it deletes all of your devices apps and this is the only way that has something to do with flashing a new rom.

Yes I am okay with that.
Actually my SD card shows a lot of folders of applications that I uninstalled months ago.
So get rid of that junk I am formatting that.

Have fun but like I said mind that you willl lose all of your folders like music pics and everything like that. It is like your phone was never used after that
Tried it via recovery and via settings and every time it's not formatting the internal storage
Is this a bug?

Usually, a factory reset erases /data without erasing /data/media.
So you don't lose videos, musiques and all personal files you put on internal storage (which is mounted as a SD card by the system).

Hmm ok.
It's just with stock recovery a factory reset completely wipes the internal sdcard, that's the whole point of a factory reset.
Anyway I found the option to format the sdcard in the menu via CMW recovery, just seems an odd way to do it.
Maybe it's done that way to protect the user in-case they do a reset and lose the zip file their trying the flash, that would be pretty funny. :laugh:
Hi,
I did a titanium backup and then factory reset my phone rooted g2. When the phone restarted, I went to restore my data, but the sd card appears empty. The phone says I have 25 gb of memory available out of 32gb. Since this is a stock Rom, I assume that means my data is somewhere.
Please advise!

When you do factory reset the phone delete everything inside the sd . so next time do a backup in ex sd with otg usb.
I also got the stupid problem. ?

I don't understand. It clearly states on the mobile site that the sd card won't be deleted. See below
aster reset from settings menu
A master reset restores the original factory settings and may delete your personal data on the internal storage, such as downloaded content, ringtones, images, apps, and contacts. It does not delete data stored on the SIM card or SD card.
To perform a master reset, follow these steps:
Back up all data on the internal memory. Backup & restore: LG G2
From any Home screen, tap the Menu key.
Tap System settings.
Tap General, scroll to 'PERSONAL.'
Tap Backup & reset.
Tap Factory data reset.
Tap Reset phone.
Tap Erase everything.
Review the warning, and then tap OK.
Important: During the master reset, do not remove the battery.

I hope you've got titanium backing up to a drop box because the backups were on your sdcard.

I don't. But why would I need to, as I posted above, it clearly states on the T-Mobile site that the sd card data won't be erased.

It doesn't specify what type of data. But before that it does list everything including contacts which are stored on the SIM. And from experience a factory reset always gives me a clean slate

Don't no what t-mobile say that I no is when do factory reset delete everything including LG backup folder. I have d802 international.
I have a D805 (latin american model of D802) and when i do a factory reset, on config menu, is written that erase all data, including data from sd card! Use OTG like me next time
