Hi All,
I cannot seem to perform a factory reset through TWRP or Aroma.
The wipe is sucessful, but when i flash a new ROM on all my applications are installed and none of the settings were cleared. I attempted to flash stock through ODIN, but it has the same issue even after a factory reset (data, system, cache, etc)
Any ideas?
When you say all apps are there do you mean ones you downloaded from the play store too?

Humor me and check what firmware version you're on.
While he's doing that, I'd just like to mention that when signing back into your google account, it'll automatically redownload all your apps.

I realize that. I just find it strange that the factory reset does not reset anything for some reason. (e.g. my accounts are all still active and syncing after a flash),
I really wish it was giving me the Google account setup screen!!

Even after Odin you don't get the Google set up screen? That's very weird.

Maybe I can re-partition the device with ODIN? I can't imagine that this problem would persist if I blew away and rebuilt the partitions.

I would not recommend that. You run a big risk of bricking your device.

So a simple export of the PIT from my device and then writing that PIT file through ODIN (then writing the stock image through ODIN) is a risky task? That is sad

Don't overreact, this is common issue, I had it yesterday. To fix it just boot into stock recovery, clear cache, then perform a factory reset from there.

first thing I would say is, do odin to your new firmware, and the out the system, without installing or restore apps, and app data, see if everything is working fine, sometimes by restoring older app data you might run into some problems..

What do you mean with "do odin and the out of the system"?
Use ODIN.. what I mean to say is do the full firmware via ODIN,
And use it like that, a fresh install, see if everything is working well, you should have no problems.
Then see when the lag starts if you are restoring your apps with data.

you didn't answer to my question earlier. Did you do a full wipe ?
by default, any flashing of firmware won't wipe your device. It has been suggested by most ppl here, and other forums website, that if you face any trouble with the new firmware, always do a full wipe. It helps most of the time with most of the funny funny issue.
no i didnt do a wipe as i got it OTA not through odin
can you tell me how to do it

are the 2 of you the same person ? LOL
@drashrafsabry : very simple, if you done the OTA already, now try to do full wipe (I assume you are not rooted)
1st of all, you will need to backup your contact (if you keep on your device), you can do by exporting it to sd card, or merge with google/samsung account.
2nd thing you need to backup your sms (if you still need to keep it).
3rd and most important : full wipe from stock recovery, it will delete the entire internal storage. So, if you have any data (photo, movie, songs, etc) which you keep it inside internal storage, you must copy first to your sd card / or your PC / laptop (somewhere else other than internal storage.
Once you finish with all that backup, you may shutdown your device (wait until vibrate to make sure it shutdown completely).
Once it is shutdown, press the 3 combos (vol up + home + power) to go into recovery.
Once inside recovery, choose wipe data, and after finish choose wipe cache.
when it is finish, reboot.
PS : you will need to re setup your initial setup after that.
Good luck.

My ROM is pretty lean. I don't even have S health. You might be better off installing a new ROM to make sure you have everything you need.

I do have safestrap but last time I used it screwed up my last S5 thats why I had to buy a new one. It's a long story but it got stuck in download mode when i went into recovery. There has to be a way I can get S-Health to work correctly without Odin!? And I have multiple G900 tar files from users saved on my computer. This one you sent is new to me.
It's one of the original ones. I use it all the time on my spare phone (I've been experimenting a lot mainly with flashfire). It does a full wipe. Like a brand new phone afterwards. A moot point since you don't have Odin. Safestrap has saved me a lot of heartache, never caused me any. I would be happy to pull whatever files you need but what those would be, I don't know. I have RicksRom on my sdcard so I have access to all its system files.

I'm still trouble shooting the issue with s health. Currently in process of uninstall health service then s-health, reboot then install service first. See if it helps. I do appreciate all your help in this matter and hope you can get me the orignal files needed for this. Is the samsung account still an issue? I installed that apk you sent and login to my account with no problems. All that can be sync is calendar it says. I'm a bit worried using safestrap to be honest after my ordeal with my last phone. I cant take chances ruining this phone by mistakes, especially since i'm going out of state for nearly just over a week starting this weekend.

I think, THAT's the reason your legal copy of the Play Store isn't working anymore!
You are "playing" with your device, trying to install illegal things and now, when it's not working anymore, we must help you to find an answer how to get the things working again on your device -> bit strange, isn't it?

Find your firmware. If yours is G935A model, look for the PG1 fw.
Flash with Odin.
Literally only a few clicks away.
This will wipe everything so I'd suggest trying to see if you can save anything worth saving on your phone to a computer.

Don't listing to this guy. Your phone is rooted so your warranty is void and they won't do anything. Try a data factory reset in recovery first and wipe cache. It probly won't work but if it does it beats reflashing. Most likely won't work though. Your pretty much going to have to reflash it with Odin
I did this to mine as well deleting Samsung apps.
