HI all and happy new year to everybody. I've an I9000 and for a problem with market that doens work anymore , I did a factory reset but without a solution, so at the end, I've flashed a FW form my Italian brand TRE as 2.3.3 .
The strange is that , is after the flash, I've again my apps installed (but not working of course), when I'm supposing to have a cleaned installation. My question is : is there any way to reinstall a FW via ODIN, having a clwan install as factory default without my old apps and so on ?
Thx a lot for your help.

Boot into recovery and then select factory reset/wipe date, this works on sammy kernels too.

Guys I need your help. I've formatted the internal SD too with internal manu, and reinstall from recovery at factory default, but I've always back the apps (not working of course), and also , the forlders into the internal SD are always there, as the formatting process , was not done.
What it could be ? and also , how can I've a really clean install ? thx a lot.
Maybe you have the same problem as I had. I had "broken" internal SD card, I mean nothing could be save permanently. I had to replace mainboard in Samsung service...

strange that after doing a factory reset you are not getting a clean install..
anyways, you can download the stock firmware from sammobile.com .. be sure to download all the 4 files, i.e. pda, csc, phone and .pit file.. and using odin flash... this is sure to give you a clean install...

Thanks but I did It , and this where I'm now. I was 2.3.5 , that with ODIN I was back as 2.3.3 gingerbred with my brand fw of Italy TRE, and this is what I've now. An unstable phone , with no apps working , no chances to delete them and reinstall, and even formatting the internal sd, I've back again the same folders. It seems that there is one place, where the phne can take and push back the same installations as it was before, and I never have a really clean install (that form me it should be the fw and that all).
I don't know how it could be.

if you flashed using .pit file and all other files and still no wipe for you confused then the only thing you can do is take your phone to samsung customer care..

Just wondering if anyone knows if doing a factory reset on the n4 will erase all photos saved on the internal storage? I wasn't sure since all devices I have had in the past had an SD card and only reset the system settings and erased apps but never erased anything in the SD card. If anyone knows it would be greatly appreciated.

Yep, its erases everything(photos, music, videos, sms). Make sure you back up everything.

Thanks. Kinda what I thought but wanted to double check.
If you factory reset from a custom recovery it will *not* erase the internal SD card.

Just making sure here as I had the same doubt: so if I have flashed CWM recovery and use its "version" of factory reset, I don't have to worry about first backing up all of my user files, correct? (I'm preparing to flash ParanoidAndroid and want to be sure here...)
Hi,
I found this post but it didn't really answer my question.
I am on Google' stock rom and I want to erase everything - from apps to files on internal storage. If I go to settings -> backup and reset -> factory reset, will it do?
Thanks.

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.

Hi guys, i've broken my Galaxy s4 lcd some day ago, and yesterday i've decided to sell it on ebay.
But now i have to wipe it. The problem is that i am running a custom Touchwiz rom and Philz touch recovery. So i don't think i can use Kies to make a factory reset.
I can use Odin to flash a stock image etc... But i don't know how to solve completely my problems.
Can someone help me? Thx

However, the Galaxy S4 doesn't have fastboot mode, but only download mode and recovery mode, so I don't know how to use the commands...

Odin will fix it.
Flash the stock ronin Odin. All your user data will be (sort of) removed.
A skilled user could still recover your user data' but most people won't even know its there.
You will not need the phone's screen to work at any point in the Odin process.

I've just finished to flash the stock rom, I hope evrything worked fine. I'll try to install Kies3 to see if I can maybe do another wipe or something else to delete definately all my data inside (including photos etc...). Any suggestions?

Odin will wipe the data as well as Kies will.
But neither really removes the data. Both just remove the directory structure which makes it easy to sort the data.
To really remove the data you need to overwrite it with new data. That is much more difficult to do without access to the screen on the phone.
You could do it in recovery with the device mounted via usb to a computer. But you generally need to select that in recovery using the touch screen.
You can also push data to the device to overwrite using adb, but its more difficult.
All in all though...unless you have evidence of your participation in a crime on the phone, don't be so worried about it. It will be okay.

Since Google implemented Trim in Android 4.3, it's impossible (as of yet) to recover deleted data. I tried several guides here on XDA on data recovery and none of them work anymore.
See for example this article.
http://forensic.belkasoft.com/en/why-ssd-destroy-court-evidence
So basically if you delete a file or format your system, the data is really gone.

It wont ever wipe the external sd card
The internal sd card should depend on the tar file and if it formats that partition or not.
I never really paid attention to it myself because I have never had to flash a full stock restore on my S4 so I have no idea what the standard for S4 firmwares is.
The internal data partition though should be wiped with a full stock firmware in odin every single time.

Well, it's not. Believe me. I used to flash stock rom on S4 number of times and I can confirm that flashing stock rom with Odin DOES NOT WIPE any user data. Your photos and other files stays intact as well as the apss ( you may loose some apps internal data ) until factory reset is performed either from stock recovery or from rom itself.

Yes, I also tried by factory reset. I cant explain exact issue, some virus/malware exist on my phone which makes my phone slow.
I tried many antiviruses but no luck so far.
So I want to format/repair/restructure folder/system files of phone so that infected files gets deleted from phone.
Factory reset and installing stock firmware is not replacing/deleting all folders/files of my phone.

okay, but your phone being slow does not mean it is infected. the prob might be with something else. maybe hardware?
