What's the true hard reset procedure? - Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General

Hi,
I've been having problems with the hotmail app recently and as a result did the reset function in settings,only to find the same problem when everything is reinstalled.
This to me indicates that this is resetting everything but somehow traces are left bwhind.
What is the sure method to erase eveything?

To erase everything go to settings -privacy -reset phone with erase everything checked. (this will erase your sdcard so make backup first)
Switch off the phone, Then go to recovery mode by pressing volume up + home + power key until recovery screen -wipe data /factory reset. Reboot...
Enjoy

or even easier go to the dialer and dial *2767*3855# that is the full hard reset/format...it WILL ERASE EVERYTHING...

So: Settings>Back up and reset > Factory Data reset is just resets and doesn't really bring it to 100% factory default conditions?

If you have rooted your phone and is on a ICS ROM please read up on brick bug issue before wiping.

Tablet suddenly froze - Not able to Wipe data etc.

Hi Forum
I'm experiencing an odd thing with the P7510. I've been using AOKP for weeks now and all the sudden the thing froze up on me. This time I'm not able to reboot and go any further than the booting screen after the Galaxy Tab logo.
I thought a Wipe data / factory reset would help but It freezes as soon as I select the Wipe data function.
Nor am I able to wipe Dalvik Cache nor fix permissions (heck you try everything at this point). - All instant freeze except for Wipe Cashe Partition and using the install zip from sdcard, back etc.
Unfortunately I do not have the AOKP zip on the tablet anymore but if I'm remembering correct you need to wipe data when installing AOKP which I won't be able to do no mater what.
Do you guys have any idea what I could do to save the unit?
Fixed I was able to bring it back using the unroot guide. Unfortunately everything I got on there is gone - Either way thank you for looking!
That's really weird.

The interesting thing is a number of cases seems to happen in mid June this year.
Is this problem date related?
I'm using roman rom by the way.

unable to delete downloaded apps even after doing full reset *2767*3855#

I downloaded many apps from market. Now, i am unable to uninstall those apps. everytime i reboot the phone after uninstalling, those apps appear again under phone menu. Did full reset using key string *2767*3855# but still the problem exist. Plz help...
After full wipe are you connecting with your google account to the phone? If yes then the google server restores your phone to the state before with all apps settings except passwords. Try a different account after wiping. But if you are on a ICS, wiping isn't a good idea, because the emmc erase and hard bricks.

[Q] Action memo recognition issue

Hi, just wondering if anyone else has experienced crashing with action memo. I had no issues initially however the last couple days whenever I write something and try to use "link to action" I get recognition failed msg or the app gets stuck on recognising and l have to restart the phone. l've tried clearing app data but that didn't help. Guess I'll try a factory reset next.

If pictures & music is in Ext. SD Card than it will not erase as factory reset only erase Internal memory.
factory reset is not solving issue
Hi all,
I am using diamond rim 5.1 on note 2. I have the exact same issue. I have done factory reset . But the issue still persists. Is there anything else I could try?
I know this is an old thread but for anyone having this problem just go to Samsung keyboard languages and update the language and kaboom

Switch off the phone then hold volume up + power button at same time, a menu will open where you can choose ti wipe cache and data, but remember to back up everything first.

Once you done hard reset using "holding volume up + home + power keys", All data will be wiped off, everything. So you don't have to worry.

Factory reset may help to remove user-installed apps.
But if someone has rooted the device and installed the app into the System Partition, it still remains even after factory reset.
So if you want to completely remove 100% all spyware/malware, my suggestion is doing factory reset + flashing the stock firmware via Odin.

- That will not break any warranty.
- Odin download: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/25370185/Odin3_v3.09.rar
- Firmware for your device: Use Phone INFO ★Samsung★ app > Menu > 'Firmware Browser'. That will find a correct firmware for your device.
