[Q] MMS Keeps Resending Please HELP!

I sent an MMS to about 15 people that initially failed. Now for some reason it resends the MMS every week or so to the 15 people. I have a rooted inspire and I am running Inspired Ace Rom.
I have completely wiped my device a few times and deleted the entire contence of my SDCard but this d*mn thing keeps resending the same picture message to everyone. Is there a lower level format that will wipe everything out so this thing is purged from my phone, because clockwork's Recovery Wipe Data/Factory Reset does not get rid of this.
Side note, Also when I use the Wipe Data/Factory Reset and reflash the zipped rom, It doesnt get rid of everything because the custom background I downloaded still stays

I just reformated again, this time I did the factory restore/data wipe, cache wipe, then I went into advanced and wiped the davilk cache. After that I went into mounts and unmounted everything and wiped them all in there including the system.
I then reflashed a new copy of Inspired ACE I downloaded from the zip and when I turned the phone back on it still had the custom background I had downloaded.... Is there no way to truly wipe a phone?

You have wiped the phone. If you have synced to google, it will load your background image when you reset the phone.

Okay that makes sense now. I thought I was losing my mind.... Thanks for the reply... hopefully it will solve the text issue now too.

And here I thought only Microsoft was that insidious: fdisk, dump 2 partitions, create single new partition, format partition, install XP, see ALL of my "favorites" survived the process.

Stuck at boot screen after clearing dalvik cache

I cleared my dalvik cache in an attempt to fix an error with installing an app on the appstore not working and when I rebooted now it's stuck at the Cyanogenmod 7 boot animation. So I tried pulling the battery and then deleting the cache partition and the dalvik cache again and rebooted but it's still stuck at the boot animation. It's been like this for 20+ minutes so I assume something is wrong.
Please help me, I haven't done a backup in a while and I don't want to lose all my data!

Don't stress.
You've probably fixed this already, but just for those who stumble upon this in the future, here is my experience and solution.
I did the same thing and took the battery out and the memory card and the sim card on the third go. I waited a few minutes and then put everything back together. Turned it on and then after a longer while than usual it loaded. Be patient when it reboots. I think it does take its time when it loads after a wipe. Hope this helps.

Perhaps try clearing cache and dalvik again. Worked for me when I was stuck at the kernel boot screen

2 new issues im having

1st-sometimes when switching from 2g or wifi back to 4g i cant get a connection even though i have 4 signal bars...the only cure is to reboot the phone...anybody have any ideas? And this happens in various locations.
2nd-started a few days ago..phone doesnt make a sound when i get email or sms but rings when someone calls..i reset the phone and sounds come back for a while and then it goes away again.
on cm7 7.1.0.1

1. Reset APN settings to default
2. Reboot into recovery, fix permissions, and wipe cache
3. Reboot and let it settle for 5 mins.
Good luck, let me know if it works.

issue seems to be better but had evi installed and think that had something to do with the notification sounds not working as they not work

Random Reboots

My Galaxy 7 tab plus just started random rebooting for new reason. I can
turn in on and usually around 30 mins or so it will reboot. I won't even touch it or start an app. It just reboots. I removed everthing from the andriod market and it still reboots.
Anyone else having this issue? Wifi is on, GPS is off

It also happened to me, if you have recovery modified execute a wipe cache partition, and wipe dalvick cache ,or if you continue to have problems making a wipe date/factory reset.

No Cell Service After Trying to Wipe Cache

Everything was going so well. I received my perfect phone a couple days ago...unlocked it, installed cwm 6.0.4.4, and rooted it. Kept it stock and only flashed franco and Drummerjed's volume boost. Life was swell.
I decided I wanted to try the Dalvik optimization mod and in preparation booted into recovery to make a nandroid. I always wipe the cache/dalvik cache before making nandroids because they're made faster when I do this. Never had an issue. This time, however, after clicking to wipe the cache partition the system seemed to freeze, which was weird because on my N4 it clears the cache in a matter of seconds. I held the power button down to reboot the phone and immediately knew something was wrong when I was greeted by 3 warning signs in the notification bar. I then discovered that I have no cell service. I am also unable to access internal storage.
I imagine that I'm going to have to flash the factory image and start over, but I'm wondering if there's any way to avoid that? I'm also wondering why this happened so I can avoid reproducing this in the future. Does cache wiping take considerably longer on the N5, and did I interrupt the process by rebooting the phone?
Thanks so much for your help.

I think you did interupt the process by rebooting the phone. Wiping dalvik/cache does seem to take a lot longer on this phone than on other devices (the only other device I have to compare to is the Nexus 7 though). I would say to just let it sit while it does it's thing next time.
I did have a problem with not having cell service once after wiping dalvik/cache though. I just rebooting into recover and wiped again and my cell service was back. Give that a shot and see what happens.

Thanks, ramdyc, wiping again worked. After rebooting, everything was back to normal (seemingly). Cache wipe on my N5 takes waaayyy longer compared to what I'm used to on N4...just gotta be patient with it!

If you are using TWRP, go into the settings and enable rm -rf and it will wipe instantly. (or something like that - forgot teh exact setting name)
If anyone reads this and wiping it again DOESN'T work, you can flash the stock cache.img via fastboot and you'll be good to go.

I'm using cwm. I actually just flashed the recently released touch version of it and wiping cache with it took mere seconds like it does on my N4. Thanks for your help, guys!
