I flashed Tweaked 2.0. I did a factory reset (Don't know if that was such a smart thing to do). And now my physical home key doesn't respond correctly. I was wondering if there was something I might be able to do to fix this?
Reflash the ROM
Already tried that. Thanks though.
Okay I got it. I did a factory reset through recovery, and that worked.

There is, I believe, a problem with the firmware on my Samsung Infuse phone that causes programs that have been installed, uninstalled, and installed again to be unable to save settings associated with the program. Is there a way to fix this without resorting to a hard reset? A hard reset is really a lot of work! Surely there is some way to fix this issue!
Try clearing Cache on CMW recovery.
To go into recovery:
If you are on a custom rom with extended power menu just select recovery then clear cache. Advanced clear dalvik cache.
If you are on stock rom or dont have extended power menum turn off the phone then hold volume up and down and hold also the power button, 5 second or so after the Samsung logo appears release the power button but keep vol up and down pressed then about 5 secs later release them also, that will get you to android recovery. Clear cache there.
or download a custom rom..
they're so much better then stock ROMS.
but i would think you'd have to do a reset.
use odin its not that much work you do like 4 clicks and you just wait 2 mins and your phones reset to stock again.

i'm not sure if i understood your problem correctly.
some programs may not install properly on the phone.
in those case, go to settings/manage application/
go to sd card and list them
try moving the trouble some ones to the phone.
if you do a reset on stock rom, take out the external sd card first or it will erase that too
Ive been running a GTN7000 on rooted ICS for some time without any errors however today I decided to remove Chainfire 3D, after the compulsory reboot my phone shows no display after the initial logo. The normal jingles and vibrations take place and the buttons are lit but there is no screen output.
Does anyone know how to fix this without wiping my phone? thanks
It seems like you have a soft brick. Try a reset via Samsung Kies or look for a soft brick undo guide or something.
I am sorry I cannot help any further as I do not own a note myself and therefore have minimal experience with the device.
Would like to hope you can fix it.
Hit thanks if I helped.
i think you should try to soft reset it. you can use any reset method you already know....
sorry if i couldnt help you any further too. but as for me, when i face some error like that, i've always reset my phone (coz i already backup my data with titanium backup)
Hi guys, sorry for the delay.
I've finally managed to fix it.
After fighting through a whole heap of errors and reflashing the device at least 10 times I now have my phone back to a fully working rooted ICS state. I did however loose all my data.
I was having problems with the GPS on my Koodo Galaxy S2X phone that I decided to do a factory reset on it.
The reset worked fine and then I reinstalled all my apps, all good.
except that now when I want to restart or power off the unit, it gets stuck somewhere and the hard buttons stay lit and I have to remove the battery to turn it off.
If I keep the power button pressed long enough it will reboot.
Any ideas how I can solve this?
I thought of doing a new factory reset just in case something went awol in the previous one but in the screen to do the factory reset after pressing the button "ERASE" nothing happens.
If I select to format the USB drive, a message does come up saying that its formating and then nothing.
The unit is not locked because I can continue to use it normaly. And no reset is done.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
The unit is rooted but has the stock koodo ics 4.0.4 in it.
Could this have something to do with the root?
Any help would be appreciated.

Ever find an answear to your problem? Having the same issue. For now I am simply not shuting down my phone because I am sure that pulling out the battery in the midst of a shutdown if probably not good for it.

I solved my problem by installing a new ROM (koodo v3 rom) but after doing that I think if I just had used the SUPERWIPE script might have been enough to reset the device.
At least the GPS works great now with this ROM.

Hi,
I've the same problem at the moment with my new s2x. I've tried restoring to the my original rom and I've also tried a different rom (Koodo v4) and the phone still won't turn off properly (the bottom button lights keep lit).
I was wondering if anyone could help. How exactly do I work the SUPERWIPE and what exactly does it entail? Sorry I'm quite new to all this just bought my first android yesterday. Thanks.
Superwipe is run with TWS or clockwork. I dont know exactly what it does but it fixed my problem.

Thanks Martelo, I used Darkside superwipe (link here), reinstalled rom and it finally shuts off now.
So today my droid started messing up, home and recents button didnt work. Google play store and whatnot couldnt access data, the signal status bar at the top was just grey.
So i factory reset it. During the reset it just sat there on the little screen with the spinning hexball thing for like an hour so i shut the phone off. Now every time the phone boots it just tries to wipe it again unless i go into the boot menu and hit normal boot.
Running stock rom and whatnot, but im rooted.
I know that theres a flag somewhere that it reads on boot saying to wipe it, but dang if i know what to change.
Thanks in advance
Well i unrooted my phone and tried to let it redo the factory reset again, and it still just wont do anything.

When this happens to me, it's because of a bad flash and a factory reset won't fix it. I would suggest reflashing stock...

I dont have a custom recovery or an unlocked bootloader.
I managed to get the problem sorted out through some unrooting and some non stock system file deletion. Installed safestrap and got blurry hd running on it now.
Thanks.
I am new to all of this and would like to know if I need to get a new phone or can this one be rescued.
I have a xt926 that was working fine unrooted just stock. Out of the blue I get a screen that says Encryption Unsucessful
and basclly tells me I have to factory reset my phone. When you hit the reset phone button nothing happens. I have factory reset
swiped data using external keys with no success. Help I really don't want to buy another phone.
