Clean up my Galaxy Tab 10.1 - Galaxy Tab 10.1 General

Hi...
I bought my friend's Galaxy Tab 10.1 and the first thing I did was 'cleaning up' my device.
I did a factory reset, but still found some unwanted folders on My Files which might be from old installed applications.
Tried to clean up from recovery mode, but still not success.
Is there any way to clean it up, please?
Thank you.

The best way to truly wipe the device and ensure that there is nothing lingering at all is to restore it to complete out of the box newness with a factory wipe. In fact I just had to do this yesterday to mine for unrelated issues. Once back to the factory clean, you can then move forward and install CWM and any other custom firmware you want.

Gal Tab 10.1 I/O WIFI - shows only 13gb instead of 32!

Hi!
My lovely galaxy tab 10.1 entered into the famous boot loop.
A friend of me got to recover my tablet by wiping all data, flaching boot and recovery again and installing the 3.1.
When He gave it back to me, we realize that the internal memory was only 13gb instead of the previous 32gb.
I tried to "format the SD" through the recovery but with the recovery that I istalled trhough Rom Manager it allows only 4gb, so I didn't try.
I don't have many details of what was the recovery process, and I'm a proud owner of the GT sice 4 or 5 days. I didn't find anybody with a similar problem.
Any suggestion?
Do a factory reset and it will come back

Thanks a lot for your answer. What do youou mean exactly with a factory reset? Should i install a clean rom, or there is a simplier way to do it? I assume that i will need to reroot afterwards.
Settings>privacy>factory reset
I did a factory reset. It deletes all rhe data on the tab, butbit doesnt really format the internal storage. It still shows only 13gb.
Any other posbility?
maybe your "friend" substitute your 32gb with a 16gb model. because reformating the int sdcard in recovery will bring back the full space. no matter what.
my 16gb model shows 13gb space. see what i mean ...
double check serial Nos etc on box.
I don't think he changed the tab.
I wanted to format the int sdcard in recovery, but when I reboot in recovery, I dont see any option to format the sdcard. It is maybe "format data"?
When i had to save my io from a bootloop. I too only got 13 free after... A factory reset actually does wipe and format the memory. Worked for me
And theres quite a few other threads about it...

Are all of the io edition of the tab 32 gb? I thought since they were giving it out for free it would be 16 gb
Sent from my GT-P7510 using Tapatalk
maybe it was wrong repartitioned during the flash - this would be my guess...
I did a factory reset both via settings/security/factory reset and recovery/factory reset and in none of the cases deleted any file in the storage.
Do you know if there is any alternative way to fully format the storag e, via addb or fastboot?
Any help? Could you suggest me another way to format the internal storage of my gt? I already tried the factory reset in the recovery.

I wonder what u guys r doing to get enuff bootloops for it to be a real issue... Have had my io tab since they came out and only once (before the retail was even out) has it happened to me and only after i was messing with things...
Sent from my GT-P7510 using xda premium
I am not "doing" anything to make this happen. Most of the time it happens like this:
1) Use tab for a while at night before bed.
2) Plug in tab on nightstand, turn out light got o bed.
3) Wake up next morning, click power button to wake tab Tab and it is on the infamous Entering Upload mode.
4) After which it goes into boot loop mode.
So, after reflashing the stock recovery, the factory reset trick worked. Apparently whatever call the factory reset does will not work with Clockwork.
Well, at least this time I made a nandroid backup using fastboot boot clockwork so when it fails the next time I can restore it.

Maybe its cwm causing the headaches, i havnt even bothered with it yet on this tab
Sent from my GT-P7510 using xda premium
Except I did not have that on my tab until this last crash. Before that I kept everything still unrooted like I got it. I took it off again when the reset failed so we will see if/when it crashes again.

How to preform a Hard Rest to "Out of the Box" status

Ok, for those of you who want/need to wipe your phone so that it deletes EVERYTHING so that you get it back to your "Out of the Box" status. I have the answer!
First: Back up What ever you want/need to back up.
Then: MAKE SURE YOU BACKED UP WHAT YOU WANT/NEED!!!!!
DOUBLE CHECK AND MAKE SURE YOU SAVED YOUR STUFF!!-Did I make myself clear that you will LOSE EVERYTHING!!!
Read This: T-Mobile Support Community: http://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-2500
To do another reset, that will possibly leave some cache on the phone ( I know this, as I have done it and it left info on it).
Follow these directions:
A master reset restores the original factory settings and may erase all downloaded content, including ringtones, images, programs, and contacts stored in the internal memory. It does not erase data stored on the SIM card or memory card (if available).
To perform a hard reset, follow these steps.
1. Back up all necessary data that is on the internal memory. See: Back up device files: Samsung Galaxy S II
2. From any Home screen, tap the Menu key.
3. Tap Settings.
4. Tap Privacy.
5. Tap to clear the Backup my data an Automatic restore check boxes, if desired. (you might have to clear Automatic Restore first, the Back my Data)
6. Tap Factory data reset.
7. Tap Reset phone.
8. Tap Erase everything.
9. If prompted, enter the password.
· Note: The default password is 1234.
10. Tap OK.
11. If necessary, enter and confirm the password again.
12. Tap OK.
With that all said and done, now to the Good way to Really reset your device.
First: MAKE SURE YOU SAVE WHAT EVER YOU WANT TO SAVE!! I backed up my folders and my SD card just in case, using Samsung Kies found Here: http://www.samsung.com/ca/support/m...softwaremanual.do?page=MOBILE.SOFTWARE.MANUAL
Bare with me, as I am doing this from memory. I performed it like 3 times yesterday.
1. Start with the phone powered off.
2. Hold the followling 3 buttons all at once starting in this order, Sound UP, Sound Down and Power. (Yes, you will need to use 2 hands).
3. Once the Samsung Android Screen pops up (the second Samsung Screen) release the Power button and keep holding the Volume Down. You will get a bunch of commands (like 4 or 5), First I chose to wipe my Cache, then I chose the option to "Factory Reset Out of the Box" Status. To move where you want to go, simply use the volume up and down. Then to select the item you want, touch your HOME key on the bottom of the phone.
That's it!! You now have your phone back to the first day you bought it. If you didn't back up your apps, they you just have to spend time reinstalling them all over again..
When you start by setting it up, don't allow it to restore your info/settings. I think it's like the 3rd or 4th screen after you touch the Android to start setting it up. Just unclick the box's...or box..like I said, I did it over 24 hrs ago, and more than once...testing it out each time for different things..This one way made sure everthing was gone and I started out fresh.
Hope this helps!!
Well you can just type *2767*3855# in keypad and those 12 steps will be done in one

No it won't. I know that because I had to give O2 my Galaxy S2 to change my defect display. I already had rooted it and therefore the "custom-download-counter" wasn't 0 again. In order to get a flashed/rooted phone back to the "out of the box status" you need to:
1. Install a stock firmware & kernel
2. Perform a hard reset*
3. Use a special "USB-Jig" to reset the counter.
* I used the number, then removed the folders/files like "MIUI" and the images of the custom-roms I flashed. Then I bored into the recovery and cleared the cache.

I confirm that this the only way to reset to out of the box, especially on custom kernels or root
You need to flash a full ROM through the new JIG cable not the old JIG. Old JIG won't reset counter
Be aware, most new ROMs here include old SBL and not the original to avoid the old JIG blacklisting
Better use an untouched "one file" ROM from samfirmware or grab your own ROM from Kies temps folder while it updates your phone
I personally like this way:
1- Use Odin through new JIG to flash an old official untouched ROM, 2.2.1 or older
2- Use KIES to originally update to the last official firmware, disable backup phone during this step
3- Hard reset and format internal SD card

They won't bother to check if it's the new bootloader or old bootloader. Why do you guys like to make things complicated. Occam's razor.
Also, unless Ben has updated Heimdall with the info I passed along from Odia or we get a new version of Odin, even if you use an integrated Jig cable the counter will not reset.
Simple way to get fully reset:
1. Flash desired firmware and reboot
2. Dial *2767*3855#
Job done.

Recommended way to do a factory reset with ICS (Austrian official release)?

Sorry, this has I'm sure been done to death but there seem to be conflicting reports and advice would some kind soul, who knows the answer, tell me.
I think I know the answer but I don't want to take a chance on it ;-)

Yes the safe answer is that nothing is for sure at 100%...
I asked the same and despite I mentioned I will cool down trying stuff I did actually try quicksilver.
Initially I've reset once INSIDE ICS after the first installation going from HC to ICS without trouble
Then before trying quicksilver I did nandroid backup after that I purposely wiped reset using CWM 5.0.0.4 from dev but also wiped cache as well as dalvik and battery stats... Then restored the backup... All those could trigger a brick but it did not
Next I wiped again everything via CWM reset and installed quicksilver 0.8 and all went fine booting quicksilver.
Then updated to 0.9 and finally 1.0pre doing that did not require wipe so did not do it for no reasons...
Then went back restaurant my original backup.
So I did not have any problem this in no way means it is 100% safe as you I am worry but decided to try knowing something could go wrong. From now on I will only reset from CWM 5.0.0.4 and will not do from ICS

[Q] Rooted, CM 10.1, clean rom, now stuck...need help!

Hey, I could really use some guidance here. I'll present the information as simply as I can:
I bought a Galaxy s4 AT&T a few days ago. I've been interested in rooting and flashing different roms, but I think I may have done a bit too much.
I rooted using the motochopper method - great, worked like a charm.
I made a backup of my original rom using CWM. I even took that backup and saved a copy of it on my Mac - perfect.
I thought I'd try Cyanogenmod 10.1, so I downloaded the latest nightly build and flashed it using CWM - so far so good.
Everything was working fine, but my LTE (or any data) was not working at all. I could use Wifi, but once I turned wifi off, I had no data, no gps, no 3g, no 4g, no LTE. I tried the *#*#4636*#*# method, the LTEOnOff app, and changing my APN based on the recommendations provided in this thread - I just couldn't get it to work.
I thought I'd try restoring my original backup, but when I went into CWM to do so, it said that my backup could not be found...(I still have a backup on my computer, just in case)
I needed my phone to work, and badly needed LTE to do so. So, I downloaded this rom: [ROM] CleanROM 1.0 -★| Clean and Smooth! | The Way Nature Intended! |★-
So far, this rom was working fine - it's just a debloated version of TouchWiz - which I like. But, here's my problem now - If my phone reboots, it stays frozen on the Samsung logo (with unlocked lock logo underneath), and I can't get past it. I'd have to go BACK into recovery, and flash the CleanROM all over again, and set my phone up as new with all data wiped.
I really need my phone to work again, and I don't know where to go from here. What options do I have left? What can I do to get out of that frozen Samsung loading screen? Can't I just reset my phone to the way it was? Can't the CM10.1 rom work with LTE?
Your help will be greatly appreciated.
Your best option is to flash the stock MDB firmware via odin . After you get the PASS on Odin go ahead and manually boot into stock recovery and wipe data factory reset again then reboot. You will have to re root and reinstall recovery but this will take care of any issues you had from a bad flash.

Having the same issue so I figured I'd give these steps a shot. Followed them exactly and phone (AT&T S4, TWRP) would won't even reboot the first time into CleanROM. I'm stuck on the Samsung screen with the lock.
edit: I've noticed that now, when I reboot into TWRP, it prompts me for a password. Hitting cancel takes me to the regular home screen, but I had not been getting the password prompt before attempting to install CleanROM. A permissions issue, perhaps?
edit 2:

As I mentioned before starting over is always the Best and Safe way to go. Shortcuts will only cause you headaches and possibly get you a brick that is why you see Odin stock threads. Do yourself a favor and start over I know it sucks but when your modifying your phones its gonna happen once in awhile.

[Q] Galaxy s4 i9505 will not allow cfw

i have a UK i9505, was locked to 02, but i followed the builtin samsung menus to allow any make of SIM
i installed clockwork recovry and that worked fine, but...
i had a backup on the internal emulated sd card, and moved it to a 32gb official samsung class 109 32gb external
of course that died and took the backup with it,,,
since then i have got messages that samsung music and amazon kindle crash every time i reboot, so i decided a new CFW was in order.
i DLed 4 zips from ]hxxp://alchemistar.blogspot.co.uk/2013/05/samsung-galaxy-s4-lte.html and all the instructions said "backup, wipe caches, including dalvik and data/ factory reset. then install from from sd"
but the backup i took in recovery mode failed, though i didnt know it at the time
and NONE of the ZIPs will install, i have 1 error message picture to show at hxxp://i107.photobucket.com/albums/m291/xakmad/DSCF2676.jpg[/URL]
because it never finished, i can ONLY get to either recovery (thank goodness) or it'll sit on the samsung logo for hours
can anyone help me please? i have looked all over the web but everywhere just says do those instructions again
worth noting that each of the 4 ZIPS - i have Dled them on PC and tested them for errors in WinRAR, all are 'good'. However, the s4 doesnt like them

i dont quite know where's wrong exactly, but i suggest you might try a stock samsung rom flashed by odin.
Sent from my GT-I9500 using xda app-developers app
