urg, Anyone know how to fix this problem? whenever I reboot the phone, it lose all data: contacts, homescreen, messages...
My phone was rooted and run Blackhole ROM.
Thanks.
Go to settings --> SD card & phone storage. Does internal phone storage say 0.0? IF so you probably FUBAR'd yourself with voodoo. Go to the following thread and follow exactly what it says, you should be ok http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=804784. If your phone shows internal memory then I'm stumped.
actually , the phone shows the internal memory, but I have install voodoo lagfix and I didn't remove it, I used Odin to restore the system and the kernel. I don't know if the voodoo lagfix had been removed or not.
If you don't know if you removed it, then you didn't.
problem solved. Thanks all.
I've seen a few people post that they had a similar problem. Care to share what your solution was?
I just flash the system, kernel, and recovery by odin, then factory reset and It saves all my settings

Can someone help me, my phone keeps rebooting, I'm on Villain ROM12 with Apps2SD, my phone caught some bugs, and it wouldn't vibrate with messages yada, yada, so I thought I'll just wipe phone + data, Dalvik Cache on AmonRA recovery mode, but after I did, when I rebooted my phone, the reboot screen keeps repeating itself, but when I take the memory card out and reboot, it starts up straight away, what should I do?
Please help.
Thanks

Please back up everything on sd to computer, and then use amonra recovery to reformat it completely.
Then do a full wipe and flash, and copy the essential files from your sd backup back on. Now reboot, check it's still ok, and then add your apps etc via something like titanium backup (the data for which was on sd, but was copied across with essential stuff)
Then reboot, and finally copy rest of your data across. If this works, you're sorted. If at any step it won't boot, just restart the process and don't restore that data.
Sd cards sometimes need a clear out.

the dbdata file is corrupted.
1) download this file
http://forum.xda-dev...98&d=1290261479
2) extract it
3) use Odin to flash it under the PDA option
-make sure repartition is UNCHECKED
-do not select any pit file
-leave everything else the same
hi, i got a question, maybe its stupid but i've tried searching and cant find it anywhere.
so my hermes 2.0.1 tab p1000 is under my Google account. and since i've bought the P7500, i'm trying to give the p1000 to my wife. made some google account for her.
the problem:
- i've reset to factory default, no luck (through settings)
- i've reset to factory default, usb format no lick (through settings)
- i've wiped through recovery CWM. still no luck
basically after all above, my programs are still there, my account is also there, and now my tab wont show the flight mode, and data mode when pressed power.. only show the overcome added menu (reboot, recovery, etc)
so any lights on this? should i reflash? i'm confused because all my stuffs is still there in the tab... and i want to clean it up.. hopefully without resorting to reflash.
How are you going into recovery? When the tab is off, hold in power, hold volume up, when you see samsung let go of power. The factory reset will take out everything.
When you reboot, the set up screens should be confirmation of a complete wipe.
Or you could flash the wipe version of overcome rom.
sorry my bad..
i just pressed the recovery option in tab menu.
then it shows different kind of recovery menu... (blue color)
when i do power+up it shows an orange color cwm.. and this one works.. sorry for thetrouble
It's no trouble, it's a good discovery.
I have never rooted or modified my Atrix, bit I have been having some problems with a couple of apps lately, and I wanted to totally wipe my phone and start from scratch.
I went to "factory data reset" and performed a reset, but when it came back there were a few apps remaining that I had previously installed.
Is there another way to do this?
Thanks for your help.

You could always do a SBF Flash. Search the forum for the links and how-tos
aside from the factory reset i suggest formatting the internal
settings > sdcard and phone storage settings > unmount internal storage > format internal storage
your OS stays intact.
Hi guys,
I've flashed the last 4.3 Germany ROM on my i9505 and everithink is ok/official including know (0x0)...
Now I'd like to cleanup and restore to the factory settings my S4 but I'm not sure that "restore to factory setting" in the options will do exactly what I'd like. If I'm not wrong it doesn't delete all my data in the sotrage. Am I wrong?
How can I be sure to had cleand up all my stuff without ODIN reflash and/or modified recopvery? I don't want to trigger the knox....

First be sure to remove your external sdcard if you have one in the phone.
Then turn the phone on normally (no odin, no recovery and no reflash).
Then go into settings>accounts>backup and reset> then click on the very
last entry on the accounts screen which says: "Factory data reset".
Doing that will wipe EVERYTHING including email accounts/emails
phone numbers, user flashed or installed apps, games and so on.
It will also wipe any pictures, videos, documents, music files and mms.
After doing the above you can be assured that the phone is in stock
condition and has nothing personal in it.
Have a great day!

On my last phone I've made it but I've found that on internal sdcard there was still some app data and folder and when I've installed some app the settings was still there..... strange!

you will have the same with the method above.
not 100% if stock recovery has this, but besides the factory reset you have to format the internal data. It works from custom recoveries for sure.
as an alternative, you can manually delete all the folders in internal card and do the factory reset again.
of course, the external card you either remove or format aswell (from phone menu or recovery).
after i test the pacrom and restored my previous rom, now i cannot download anymore files. maybe due to mounting problem of the internal sdcard... only the playstore can download...
ill try aolving these via odin but hope someone can help me without the odin
You didn't give us nearly enough information to know for certain what is going on. You may be running afoul of the Kitkat SD permissions that limit apps to a single folder. Or you may have broken app paths, outdated cache information, simple corruption or even something else altogether..
Restore a valid backup if you have one. If not, then that is something that you should be doing in the future to avoid this type of problem. Some things to try in the alternative would be wiping the system cache from recovery mode. Failing that, go to the application manager in the settings menu and try clearing the cache and data for a given app. And failing that, reinstall the app.
If you have more serious issues that aren't resolved by the above steps, then it will be hard to discern what happened unless you can give us a detailed, step by step description of all the changes you made. A situation where a valid backup would be the best way to recover. If wiping the caches doesn't work, you'd probably be best to simply start over and write a full stock firmware image to your phone with Odin, followed by a factory data reset.

after coming from CM based rom my internal memory is read only..thats the problem but anyways thanks for the advice.. i solved it already by going odin
