I have a B90 so I cant nvflash but when i try to factory reset, i get an error saying error removing /data/data/.com....... and so on, same problem with restoring. I tried using the super wipe script and it goes through but factory resetting after still shows the same thing, any ideas?
You want restore an existing ROM or you like to flash something new after full wipe?
If you want to install new ROM then try what i tried and it worked for me.. i rooted stock ICS and right now running Revolver ICS... Link is below but read the instructions properly before you do anything... Good luck

Hello all. I'm pretty new and I hope this is the right place to open this thread. I did many searches, tried a lot of ways but i can't fix my problem.
Well the problem is that Everytime that i flash a new rom (in the Restoreway (Found on youtube) And in the .zip way) after installing the rom, and rebooting from xRecovery it start an endless loop and i don't really know how to fix it.
I tried many methods. Like wiping cache, factory reset and aaaall the other wipes.
so, ill ask you guys, please help me cause i can't find a way to flash this thing. :\
thank you so much.
hey dude i suggest you flash back your phone to stock rom
That fixes all the problems in the system and after that you just root it again
and install everything you want but be carefull in what you uninstall!
Try this...
I would suggest GSB ROM 3.6. Been using this rom since since version 2.2 and had very little problems. It is important that you follow Sheds instructions to the letter. It is very fast and basically trouble free. You can get it here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=944430
install ruu ?
do a factory rest ..else try stockroms
what i'll do is try to wipe cache partition and wipe dalvik cache before i flash a new ROM... if it still fails then i will do wipe cache partition and wipe dalvik cache and factory reset before i flash new ROM...
my last resort will be to flash stock ROM then flash custom ROM again...
I recently rooted my droid charge for the first time. I still really don't know what I am doing but I did the cwm recovery with odin. Then I had pbj OC and gummycharged 1.8.5 in a zip file on the phone and I did not use odin with them. I want to try out humble because I want to try something different. But I want to use the theme ADW minimalist metallic. Is there a certain ROM that has to be used with this theme.
Another question I have is if I do a wipe via recovery mod, will I have to reinstall CWM with odin and redo pbj OC?
Thanks, sorry once again for noob questions. If anyone is able to help me via skype or some kind of instant message/mic program I'd be very appreciative. Ill be on for another hour or 2 tonight.
EDIT: If i do a factory reset on my phone will it unroot it and put it back to stock? On a few guides i see it where it says "wipe/factory reset" then next line it will say "wipe cache". Does this mean to go through cwm and wipe it. Then go to privacy and factory reset, or do they both do the exact same thing. And I dont know what wipe cache means. Thanks
PM me if you are able to skype/IM me.
I went through the same rooting process you did and did a factory reset and it won't make you lose root and you will still have CWM and whatever kernal you installed. By the way I always wipe cache when I do a factory reset to be on safe side.
Since you can't use CWM to backup in nandroid then once you do a factory reset to try out another rom you lose all your programs, settings etc and have to reinstall.
A program in the market called "Samsung Odinmaker" is like nandroid in that you can make as many backups of your system as you like thus making it very easy to switch roms and play around
So to try another rom all I gotta do is factory reset, put the zip of the rom in the sd card and go from there?
I dont plan on it but is there a way to try a new cwm or kernal.
Thanks

Thanks so much for this tip.
The only thing that has kept me from trying new roms was the hassle associated with not having a nandroid to restore if I didn't like the new rom.
I'm currently on Humble 1.2 and will flash the Humble 2.0 when I get home because I guess Odin doesn't work for Mac.
i had bootloops with my transformer ( revolverrom) so i want to go back to stock.
Meanwhile it seems to me that i had the reason:
every time i want to wipe cache data with clockmos recovery (3.2,0.1) there is a message:
error removing data/system /packages.xml
and the data are all there.
I think thats the reason for freeze + bootloop afterstarting .
Or is it maybe a hardware problem?
What can i do to find it out? If i flash revolver or ics rom i get freeze + bootloop seconds after the Mainscreen.
What can be the reason for no possible wipe data?I think it is the same reason as for the bootloops.
Kind regards- and sorry for my poor englisch
gandalf -
Of course i can trie do delete with rootexplorer- but that will be no solution of the fault-or am i wrong .
just my two cents, but can't you just flash the Super Wipe script from the Revolution ROM thread, and then flash your ICS ROM after doing that?
Also I've had problems with CWM Recovery on my Evo 4g, so I flashed Amon RA recovery and that seemed to do the trick for me. I'm not sure if it's available for the TF101, but like I said, this is just my two cents.
best of luck!
I have been trying the new ICS ROMS and have an interesting observation to share. I have had many weird problems like the shutdown reboot issue, touch key lights staying on, force closes etc. The only time I had a clean install (without even the shutdown issue) was when I first used CWM to wipe everything and then used the stock (gingerbread) 3e recovery to perform another wipe before flashing a ROM. Anyone willing to try and confirm?
when u say another wipe using stock recovery, u mean just a factory reset, before reflashing cwm and then ics? becuz if so, ive tried that, and it was still hit and miss
CWM - wipe data, cache and system, Darkside superwipe, ODIN 3e, wipe cache and factory reset, ODIN CWM and flash. Works every time for me.

It seems like there isn't an easy fix that works for everyone (for the shutdown freeze bug anyways--this was the one problem I just couldn't get rid of until just a couple days ago). I had a theory that Darkside superwipe was screwing it up for me (the method you use as I've quoted was basically my method for wiping prior to flashing any roms, with the exception of using 3e recovery).
Seanzscreams new Sky ICS rom claims to have fixed the shutdown issue for good. I don't know if this is true for everyone but it seems to have worked for me.
What I do is:
Flash darkside x1
factory reset x5
wipe cache x5
wipe dalvik x5
format system x5
Flash radio
wait 1 minute
flash rom
wait 1 minute
reboot and don't touch phone for at least 10 minutes
I've noticed that some people go to the extreme when it comes to wiping....... Super extreme.
I've always in my YEARS of flashing roms (I got G1 on day one), I've always done just a simple format of data and cache. Normally don't get any unexplained errors or bad flashes.
LOT of the problems rise from users. Either installing something that is buggy or just not following directions.
Restoring backups is probably the BIGGEST CULPRIT OF ALL. Often times, people just restore files that they shouldn't. Adding themes, adding animations, boot animations blah blah blah...then blaming devs because so and so is not working.
I use restore but I'm selective about my restores. I don't just restore everything that I just backed up. Has NEVER caused me any problems.
hye everyone. i'm having an issue with the Gtab plus. its actually weird issue. it seems like i can't wipe data/ factory reset. or even flash a rom every time i try to do the above methods it success until i reboot my device everything come back. if i flashed a stock rom to the gtab plus it will be successful and when the device starts its like i didn't flash anything. i'v tried wipe data / caches from Touch CWM since its the only CWM that doesn't require reboot after flashing it using "update from sdcard from the stock recovery mode" and no success when the device restart everything back. i even formatted the Sdcard from the PC but yet if i reboot the device everything will be restored i'm like "OMFG" what is going on with this device. and most of the time its on Kernel PANIC stats. any help/advice ? what i should do ? because i have tried almost everything. and btw its still on stock 3.2
bump.

Did you buy this tablet new with 3.2 on it? It's possible you have EMMC memory failed which is a hardware fail that occurs when wiping memory on ICS.
