Dear SGS2 users,
I'm experiencing some problems.. The device is getting REALLY slow. When I try to open a picture taken with the SGS2 on the device itself it takes about 1 MINUTE before it shows the picture.. And opening SMS/Contacts also takes time.
I'd like to factory reset my device.. I tried a reset yesterday, but it didn't wipe any files, just sms/contacts. Can someone help me? I'm not rooted
Thans in advance
Boot recovery Wipe and factory reset .

No it won't. But you should really try get a backup of it
But if you are using stock recovery and are unrooted, then you can wipe fine
Old stock ROMs did have an issue where they would not boot properly after a wipe, unless you re-ODIN the stock ROM again.

Put this code in your dialer:
*2767*3855#
This will do a complete rebuild of the device and wipe internal storage. So phone will be like when you first took it out the box! ;-)

i've just tried upgrading to the new froyo build through kies, but on completion my phone will not turn back on. All i am getting is black screen with random vibrations. I can get into download mode though. Anyone have a link to jf3 or jm1 original firmwares so i can flash back via odin then try kies again?
Go to recovery (volup+home+power) wipe data/factory reset and it will work, happened to me also.

man I cant stress this enough.. THANK YOU SO MUCH !!!!!!! After this happened to me I was ready to 1) give up, 2) try to reflash with odin 3) try something even more crazy..
and you saved my but ! I did as you said and it just started up perfectly ! Now I have froyo, all my data, and dont have to reflash or anything !
I just have one question if I may please !
I had a lagfix installed and I didnt disable it before I did the flashing, so do I still have it or what ? Because I didnt loose any data but the applications that I had instaled are not showed anymore.. which bugs me because Ill have to clean up and redo everything.. but at least Ill have a clean phone )
thanks again man !
You need to dis able lag fix before updating or anything

of course I know that now , the issue with my situation would be that after I got it working (did what BaalBehrit said) the phone would boot up normaly, but all apps including of course One-click Lag fix were still there but didn't show as installed apps, nor had they any icons for that matter. Therefore disabling it before second flash was virtualy imposible.
What I did was simple. I backed all my data to my computer and then just formated both SD cards - that probably took care of the lagfix, after that, I did the flash again and everything run smoothly.
but you're right I have to remember for next time
Hi,
after succsessfull flashing the phone starts and it goes to the start animation.
But the system doesnt start.
What is the mistake.
After flashing the original Flash it is ok, but i want to update to Android 2.2 or better..

Factory Reset should do it
ok i try it
thanks i hope so
Süper
it works thank you great
You can always try a rollback to Froyo or Donut and then factory reset and reflash.
That worked for me when I had problems flashing nFinity GB.
Don't forget to have patience at initial start, it can take several minutes.

Try this mate , boot into recovery do a factory reset/Wipe cache and then reboot and Quickly press and hold power+Voldown in order to boot into downloadmode , Flash the stock rom and once its done... the phone should reboot automatically , and then Hold and press Power+VolumeUP that should boot your phone into recovery mode... Now do a factory reset/wipe cache and reboot your phone.. .Before the initial setup, Just dont do anything to your phone for atleast 4 to 5 minutes, Let it settle and then proceed with the initial setup.

hi hon
i used
BL_I9505XXUFNAD_481100_REV06_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar.md5
i did download
I9505XXUFNB9_I9505NEEFNB2_I9505XXUFNB9_HOME.tar.md5
but used the BL_I9505XXUFNAD_481100_REV06_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar.md5 instead and i had no probs with it
i was facing the same problems but when i did Wipe partition data and factory reset/Wipe cache every thing was good.
now it's fast and good
Today and after deciding to simply restart my Nexus 6P, it booted into TWRP menu, I tried to reboot again, but no luck. can someone please help?
is there a way to get off the TWRP menu and boot my phone normally?
Note: The root used to simply work fine for about a month now.
Did you take an update? Rom details? You basically said you stuck a fork in a microwave and it sparked.

Have you tried wiping the caches and/or data? Have you tried reflashing whatever ROM you're using? Have you tried flashing the factory images with fastboot?

I will have to call you out here buddy. If you have indeed tried to flash all factory images, you won't even have TWRP in the first place.
Go to this wonderful guide by the wonderful @Heisenberg, and scroll down to "10. How To Flash The Factory Images (And Return To Stock)". You will find very clear instruction on how to return your phone to its factory stock state. This will most likely get rid of the problems you're facing.

If you had flashed the full factory images I don't see how it's possible at all to be in your current situation. Explain how you flashed them, and exactly what you flashed please.
I've noticed that after going back to stock Oxygen with root my lock screen wallpaper is not centered. It seems to be shifting to the left of center. Is there a fix or reason why this is happening? Don't have this issue with any other ROM...
Try factory reset, it maybe hanged out. Coudl help it this way.

I'd give it a shot but when I installed this time around I actually followed the Unbrick method from here.. Unbrick Guide .. I can only assume this wiped everything and anything from the phone? I sometimes wonder if I'm getting a good wipe.

Well if you want to wipe everythink you need to do the factory + wipe data. I also suggest to wipe dalvik and partition cache. This will not only wipe your data but your current OS. So you need to flash it again.
