Ok I have been messing with my wifes phone for a few days now and can't get a temp root / perm root / factory reset / 2.3 update/ or urr zip to work.
1. I went into settings and tried to do a factory rest and the phone reboots but all data is still on phone
2. I did a battery pull and held vol down + power button. I tried the factory reset no luck
3. Her phone will not update to 2.3
4. Temp root stopped working I uninstalled and reinstalled z4root but no luck
5. I tried all 3 urr zips and none of them will take and yes my sd card is fat32 formatted
What can I do? Do I just need to take this phone to sprint?

Hi There,
I have been having the Samsung Galaxy Sl for 2 months now and the software kept crashing. I went to privacy and opted for a factory reset. Funny thing is no matter how many times I do a factory reset the phone restarts, and installs all the apps which i personally installed again. This is not a google recovery problem where all data is backed up in google. But the apps just magically reappear even after formatting the internal sd in recovery mode and reflashing it to the latest firmware. I am at a loss. I got a shock that even after reflashing my firmware to the latest 2.3.4 JKPJ5 it still reinstalls apps such as AVG, the BBC News, Cool reader.. And even my old wallpaper again.
Steps I have taken:
1) Formatted internal sd
2) Used recovery mode and wiped partition and cleared cache
3) Did factory reset and even installed a new firmware.
I have done everything. Pls help. My home button is also not working and the all the corrupted data from my old installation also comes back
Even when I restart my phone, any new apps i install vanish and are again replaced by the old apps.

Thanks.
Funny thing is i tried the reset codes. And only some work. I tried the reset code *2627*3855# . But I get an error saying its a connection probelm or invalid MMI code.
Sorry bangalorerohan. But I am not getting any replies in the Q&A section. I will just continue here for now..
Tell me the method you used to flash the new FW! I will tell you your error!
The probelm began before I even considered flashing my firmware. The sd card will be unexpectedly removed causing forced closes. Did a factory reset using the privacy menu quite a number of times for a few weeks. It helped for a while but the problem will always reocurred though. Then suddenly, factory resets stopped working alltogether. The phone will delete new apps i install every time i reinstall them and reinstall apps which i uninstall every time i restart the phone.
I thought flashing the firmware will fix the problem. But even after flashing the old apps and settings keep coming back.
Here are the steps I used to flash.
1) Removed sim card and micro sd card.
2) Restarted phone in download mode.
3) Run odin and plugged phone in Usb port
4) Checked Repartition, Auto Reboot, and Reset Time boxes.
5) Downloaded pit files.
6) Waited for it to pass
7) Pressed reset
8) Took phone out from usb port, took out battery and turned on download mode.
9) Flashed PDA, PHONE, AND CSC files. By ticking Auto reboot and reset time checkboxes.
10)Clicked Start
11) Waited for pass and started again.
I even tried using the recovery mode to wipe everything but still had the same problem. Apps and settings still keep reocurring from the corrupted android 2.2
I have done everything and am hoping for a solution for this frustrating problem. THinking of reflashing to android 2.2 and sending my phone to samsung for warranty.

I think you have done everything correctly. Maybe it's a hardware problem because your sd card keeps unmounting. Have you dropped it? They best way is to send it to service center for repair.

reflashing back to froyo
Hey guys thanks for your help. but the problem seems to be related to the hardware. I am reflashing my phone back to froyo and sending it to get the warranty. But after reflashing there seems to be another problem. I cant receive calls anymore. But i can make calls..
I need to know if samsung can find out if I have reflashed my phone because I am afraid that my warranty will be void. Is there anyone with experiece regarding samsung warranty?

play dumb, dont mention you flashed, tell them you tried to update with kies and since then the FW is acting up, you can't make calls anymore etc
Interestingly... i have exactly the same problem. I have had this problem for abt 4 months now and i have tried everything (except sending it back to the repair centre). I don't think its a hardware problem but more of a bad flash somewhere in between.
i have been searching the net for ages for a solution... have yet to find any.
Hi all:
I've got the same problem!!
Has any one a solution? I'm crazy with this.
Why do i keep posting on threads that have already been resolved!!

Did you wipe cache and dalvik cache? And do you have an unlocked bootloader?
Which image you used to install? Try the full OTA one for your phone model from the link in my sig.
Also do a full wipe before flashing.
Thanks, I went back into bootloader and I went to reset to factory specs but instead i think it cleaned my phone of my information and then when rebooted, went into ICS easily, Love the OS but I am not getting a wireless signal. I read one post where someone was running a gingerbread radio so now I am seeing how to do that
Hey guys, I'm a complete noob and I need help recovering my Inspire 4g. I rooted it with the Ace Hack Kit. The other day it was acting a little weird so I tried to reboot it. When it booted back up it gives me 3 vibrates and a orange flashing light. I've tried pressing down and power, that gives me 5 vibrates and a solid green light. The screen remains black during both.
Not sure if this is a biggy or not, but I reformatted my sd card. (after backing up my important stuff!) I then tried resetting it back to the factory rom via Ace Hack Kit. When the flash finishes, the phone tries to boot up and does the whole 3 vibrates and flashing orange light.
One thing I noticed was when I plug my Inspire into the computer via usb and don't press anything, the back light comes on and the 4 buttons on the bottom light up. If I press the menu button and the search button, I can toggle through these menus. I tried playing with some of the options while reading other forums, but nothing seems to be working.
I guess what I'm asking is, does anyone know EXACTLY what to do to recover it back to stock settings? Or can someone link me to a thread that may help me? Or did I completely screw myself by reformatting me sd card?
Thanks,
Andy
There have been numerous threads regarding this in the inspire forums. One solution some have found is to remove the sd card and reboot the phone.
Sd card trick didn't work. The phone is now completely wiped clean. SD card is formatted to fat32. I'm starting with a clean slate. I cannot run Ace Hack Kit to restore to factory ruu because it reboots the phone into hboot, and my phone will not boot in hboot. Simply vibrates 3 times and flashes the orange led. Then stops the flash. If I new what I was doing in the first place, I wouldn't have wiped it and I would have run recovery right off the bat. But too late now.
I've been trying to put the pd98img.zip file into the sd card and installing via clockwork recovery with no luck. I clear both cashes, wipe to factory settings, then try to install and it fails everytime.
Anyone got any other ideas? Or am I really bricked?
EDIT: Error that I get when I try to install zip from sd card is E:Signature Verification Failed.
i have a nexus s 4g came with GB i update to ics and after that its just kept reseting rebooting sometimes when you start it up it just stays on the white google so my question is if i root and install a custom rom will that problem go away
First of all, you could try resetting the phone to factory setting (turn it off and boot it with the VOLUME+ button pressed all the way).
If you root and install a rom, the problem will probably go away, but if you don't need/want to root and install a rom, try resetting the device first.

I decided to restore the phone but when i want to do that it wants a samsung account password which i forgot.
I tried also hard reset with dialing *2767*3855#. phone tried to shut down but didnt do it can i restore another way?
I also saw a video on youtube for gs2 with said that i have to press vol up home and power when the phone is ON until it reboots to android system recovery. then do factory reset there.
But will it work on our phone without root ?
Please help my phone starts annoying me

Yes buddy. You can reboot your phone to Stock recovery (as you said you are not rooted and i hope u have not installed CWM). Switch off ur phone and switch on. When samsung logo appears, just press menu key+Volume up button. It will boot into recovery mode. From there you can wipe data/Factory reset your phone.
thanks for this tipp helped me out but do you know why the media kept scanning
At my girlfriend it was a sign before her her microsd goes defective......
