Hello all,
I recently botched the install to the Nightly 1.3 (or 13) Cyanogen Mod 7, and when performing a factory reset, the phone simply boots back to CM7. Is there a way to completely erase everything and start back with stock Froyo/Android 2.2?
As it stands, I can't even go into recovery mode from Rom Manager for some reason. It either freezes upon boot, shows an "unpacking" image and goes nowhere, or simply shuts down the phone.
Thank you in advance for your help.
You'll have to flash a different ROM, a factory reset just wipes data.

you can use odin and your into download mode
tick re-partition、Auto Reboot、F.Reset Time to flash

I have a Nexus S 4g with ICS. Phone was rooted last year. Ran stock ICS for the past month (Sprint OTA update). Last week it rebooted when downloading an app. After the reboot all of my apps were "closing unexpectedly", not force closing. After about 10 minutes it tried to reboot and got stuck on the boot animation.
-Tried doing factory wipe/reset through the OS, TWRP, CWM and Fastboot. When it reboots, nothing has been wiped.
-Flashed Stock ICS and Gingerbread images. ICS will start and get the app close cascade, then get stuck on the splashscreen. Gingerbread hangs on the google screen/does not boot.
-Cannot write to sdcard but can copy everything off the phone to my PC. Toggling USB Debugging does not help.
Flashed stock rom using odin. It said that everything was successful but it booted up to the same problem.

I am out of ideas. I tried using Odin but could not find the PIT file for my phone.

if u have installed stock rom go to recovery and do a factory reset and clear cache
clear caches
I have done factory reset from the ICS UI, stock recovery (ICS and GB), CWM, and TWRP. I've cleared the regular cache, Dalvik cache, sdcard and everything that is clearable or wipeable in in CWM, TWRP, stock recovery. I've cleared the cache in fastboot and did "fastboot -w" (don't know exactly what that wipes) with no effect. I even had Windows try to format the phone. I have done any and all combinations at least three to four times apiece.
My P5100 had CM10 nightly on it and was running fine until I upgraded to the latest version of CM10 after wiping the cache & Dalvik cache. After the upgrade I couldn't get Google Play to run even after wiping its data and fixing permissions so I tried to do a CWM restore. Unfortunately there was a fault restoring the Data partition and now my tablet is stuck at the animated bootscreen. If I long-press the power button it powers off but immediately restarts. There is no way to start in in recovery or flash mode. I've plugged it into my PC and the Samsung Android ADB interface is showing but the other references to the tablet all have a yellow triangle in Device Manager. I'm hoping some clever person can help me rescue the tablet with ADB. Thanks!

IF CWM is not working use Odin to flash CWM again then use CWM to flash CM10,
You may need to do a factory reset (full wipe) from CWM.
If all else fails use Odin to flash stock JB ROM

Thanks but Odin cannot see the tablet to re-flash the recovery.
Downlods mode
Then flash new firmware

That's the problem - I cannot access download mode
UPDATE - it just started in download mode! I can manage from here!!
Just for the record you can install adb on the pc and run the command 'adb reboot recovery'. This will force the tablet to reboot in recovery mode.

Jeez, this has taken up most of the day to fix. I came across many problems I have not previously experienced:
1. When the tablet was stuck at the boot animation and I tried to turn it off by long-pressing the power button it immediately restarted. The only way I could get it to turn off was by long-pressing the power button whilst it was connected to my PC.
2. Flashing the stock ROM with Odin appeared to complete successfully but it would never fully boot, it always got stuck at the black & white Samsung screen. Same problems turning it off as above.
3. Flashing CWM with Odin caused the tablet to reboot into the stock ROM which would not load, in the end I had to untick the "reboot" button in Odin, power it off then manually restart with the Vol- & power buttons.
4. The only way I could get a bootable ROM was by flashing CM10 with CWM. I tried to restore 2 previous CWM backups but on each occasion there was an error restoring the Data partition and I got stuck at the scenario at (1). The backups were made to the external SD card with CWM Touch - is the Touch version unreliable?
I would be really interested if anyone could shed any light on any of this stuff!
For how long did you let it install during the first reboot? It happened to me too, and it took about 10 minutes, maybe even more...
Also, did you try in the "Mount and storage" cwm menu the options "format system", "format data", "format cache" and "format preload" options, prior to re-flashing a ROM? I have read somewhere that for a clean install it's better to do this, as it really clears everything that could mess up the system between two different bases ROMs (like CM and stock).
What I do everytime is using in CWM these 4 "format" options, plus "wipe" system, cache and dalvik, then immediately after this I flash with cwm the new "zip" copied on the card. Then the first reboot is much longer than usual, as at this stage it installs the files, rebuild the dalvik cache etc.
Good luck

I think I gave it a good 20 mins to boot. When I got up this morning there was an error message saying that there was no room to install any more apps even though I had very few installed. Settings -> Storage would not calculate the space available so I figured that the partitions had become corrupted. I did the step by step format you described and reflashed & it all seems to be OK now.
Hi all,
Im using cwm recovery (6.x.x.) And recently went to flash a zip. After a successful installation I hit reboot now to exit cwm and it told me there was a chance that the phone might factory reset on boot and asked me if I wanted to disable flash something. I hit yes to fix it and since then whenever my phone shuts off there's a 50/50 chance that on boot I loose all my data and settings. I am using cm10.1 and have been for a few months with no problems.
Thanks for any help!!!
I've been rooting and customizing phones since the original T-Mobile G1...but this phone gives me headaches. I unrooted my phone through superuser and updated my phone through smart switch, I even tried odin to flash an update but for some reason it just gets stuck at the Samsung logo, if I re-root my phone it comes right up...I can get my phone to come up every time I've rooted it but if I don't root it after odin flash or smart switch, it just sits there. I've waited 30 minutes or more each at the samsung logo. Anyone who can help me, I just want to unroot and flash a clean stock firmware.

Go into TWRP recovery and wipe dalvik cache, cache, data, and system. Then reboot into download mode from TWRP. Then Odin flash stock firmware. Once booted or if stuck on boot logo, try to boot into stock recovery and wipe data factory reset. Power on and all should be good. I've done this before with success.

This should definitely work, however be warned. If you end up having to go into stock recovery for a factory reset, all of your user data will be wiped.
My phone is being slow lately so I've decided to do a factory reset. I own a Moto g xt1032. I did some stuff with ROMs but they didn't work and I gave up about that.
Whenever I try to factory reset via settings my phone shuts down and goes into some menu (forgot the name). I have the options recovery factory barcode etc. But my phone didn't factory reset or anything.
Then I read I need to go into recovery mode and choose to wipe everything. As always whenever I try to start recovery mode it just says "boot up failed"
I just want to reset everything and I don't need to backup as I don't really have anything special on here.
Thanks in advance
Are you still running a custom ROM? If so, a factory reset will not put you back to stock - it will only remove personal data - because ROMs modify a different partition. If you want to return to a factory state, you will need to flash a stock rom. I would flash these stock zips through recovery, for which you can get downloads and install instructions from here.
