Using CWM 5.0.2.6 when i select wipe data/factory reset and wipe cach partition and plug in my tab and browse it the files from the previous apps are still there?
Why are they not being deleted?
CWM wont wipe the /sdcard partition
So if your app data is in /sdcard, it will still be there after wiping. You have to manually delete it.
If you want to wipe /sdcard, use stock recovery instead of CWM reccovery.

Guys, I was about to flash a new rom (Omega v2 for i9500) then I wiped the whole thing in CWM. But in addition to that I have formatted the system (mounts and format > format system), now device won't boot. I can get in Download Mode and Recovery mode but it just won't boot...
Now I am downloading a stock ROM from SamMobile; would it fix it if i flash it via Odin? And any suggestions?
Please tell me something because I am feeling really bad =/.

always do a backup via cwm for your rooted stock rom after rooting!
did you flash the rom after formatting system?
any way, Odin should fix it

wipe data and cache and dalvik, reflash the rom, rewipe data and cache and dalvik, reboot.
if not, you have odin.

Yes I have tried it many times. The downlaod is about to end now, I am so freaking nerveous right now, I hope it will fix it!..
Please help.
I'm stuck on bootloop after flashing stock XXUAME2 rom with Odin.
The reason is - I checked/enabled the "Nand Erase All" before flashing. I know, stupid. But what should I do now to unbrick it?
Well, firstly I successfully flashed stock ME2 over my MDM with Odin. But all my stuff was still there (apps, huge files and so on - which I already backed up on my pc) and my memory was almost full. So I wanted to clean everything before flashing TWRP and a custom rom. And then I checked the freaking Nand Erase.
Now, I tried to flash TWRP and do a factory reset/full wipe, but couldn't even enter into recovery mode (vol up+home+power) - it shows "GT-I9505 logo" with small blue text "recovery mode" on top of the screen and then it quickly returns to power off state (with battery charging animation).
The Download/Odin mode is working, thank God. But flashing a stock rom from Odin doesn't solve the problem of bootloop.
I've read that after a nand erase it is needed to flash a PIT file to fix it. Any suggestions where to download it? What version of a PIT file should i look for?
Thank you, guys in advance.
I dont think it will do the job.
I think that nand erase has wiped partitions data.
Any way try with pit. It is in my signature. (Choose right pit file)

Thank you, but flashing PIT didn't work - I made everything according your instructions. Still bootloop.
Maybe I need to reflash Bootloader/Phone/CSC?

U need someone to extract partitions for you to flash, except what is included in the stock firmware. Do you have a backup for efs partitions?
I have param partition fir i9505 to flash. I will attach it soon

go into recovery, if it is possible, wipe data and cache, then flash with odin the stock firmware in pda with the pit file in pit window. just check auto reboot, f.reset and re-partition. when it say "pass" remove battery, re-insert it, go to recovery, wipe data and cache reboot.
im afraid that ticking "nand erase all" in odin, usually lead to a hard brick!

if it didnt work, unzip attached file and flash "param_I9505.tar" in pda. (without pit file)(dont tick re-partition)

Duuude! It worked!!!!
Even without flashing param partition. Just the first step:
go into recovery (I flashed CWM with Odin), if it is possible, wipe data and cache, then flash with odin the stock firmware in pda with the pit file in pit window. just check auto reboot, f.reset and re-partition. (then it went into bootloop as usual and after a moment Odin said "pass") when it say "pass" remove battery, re-insert it, go to recovery (the recovery at that moment returned to stock), wipe data and cache reboot.

glad to hear that....
Never and Ever tick "NAND ERASE ALL" in odin
next time, if you want to erase data, do it from recovery.

Sure! And for the next time what exactly should I pick from recovery to erase everything? apart from wipe data/cashe/factory reset? There are also some format options in advanced menu (format system, data, cashe, dalvik cashe and so on). Or I should not touch anything there anymore? )))

no need for format system..
if you format system, then it must be a ready custom rom in your sd card to flash via cwm. or you must flash stock via odin.
wiping data and cache and dalvik is enough
Thanks very much everyone who partisipated in this thread! You saved me a lot of time and a lot of effort! I was stuck in the boot screen because i formated the whole system. I tried that solution and worked for me! Thanks very very much!

you dont need param file just redo this:
go into recovery, if it is possible, wipe data and cache, then flash with odin the stock firmware in pda with the pit file in pit window. just check auto reboot, f.reset and re-partition. when it says "pass" remove battery, re-insert it, go to recovery, wipe data and cache reboot.

if stock recovery didnt work at first, flash any custom recovery and make the wipe.
it is important to use pit file with the firmware.

Does Flashing Stock Samsung ROM in Odin Clear out the System Partition?
Options Used:
No repartition
ROM put inside PDA slot
I'm wondering because I suspect there may have been some malware in the previous ROM that was flashed. So I want to be sure all the Files that were in the System Partition Previously are deleted.

Flashing via Odin doesn't wipe the System partition, it simply overwrites it. There may still be bits from the old ROM unless and until you do so manually.
What is the simplest way to Wipe the system partition before flashing the Samsung TAR in ODIN?

wipe with recovery
hold volumeup+power+menu until samsung logo show 2 time then release power button....
But with a stock rom and stock recovery it's impossible formatting system. Stock recovery let you only do a factory reset. You can wipe system only with a custom recovery.
