[Q] Phone Keeps On Reseting (Factory Reset) After Every Reboot?

I recently Flashed Kyrillios 9.0 and 9.6 and everytime I restart my Galaxy 3 it always Factory Resets, ie all the apps I had before are gone and all my desktop widgets are gone. Even worser is that it automatically turns on the 3G Internet connection which means I get charged £1 for no reason.
Also I wiped the Cache by accident after I flash 9.6 because I Flashed it separately (I flashed 9.0 first and i used it for a month then I decided to flash 9.6) so will I have to wipe the Dalvaik Cache aswell?

Try a clean flash of a stock rom. If it still happens then only solution is changing the motherboard. Look here:

Try to flash a different kernel, and clear cache and wipe data in the Recovery.

I have the problem of 0.0kb! (total memory reads 0.0kb), but i can't flash back to stock rom by odin or heimdall, the only way to flash roms is by CWM, but there are no CWM stock roms out there...

I've wiped data and done a factory reset for many times, still not working:crying:
Y can't u flash via odin<<I think maybe because the internal storage is 0.0kb therefore there's nothing to flash?? (or maybe I have to learn more about odin)

U can obviously flash via odin in any case
Try it
And immediately wipe data and factory reset when phone boots into recovery the very first time

I can just flash 66 as is? Don't have to flash a stock unrooted version first like you do when you brick?
Do you have any idea why this could have happened? I did everything it said on the page and even watched an installation video for the ROM following every step by step instruction. What the hell does formatting system, data, and cache do in recovery? Never had done it before and as soon as I did my phone just messed up. Also, if I flash 66 using odin will my old backups work again?

I'm guessing there was a bad download and sadly your nandroid might have been corrupted.

Cool thanks. Flashing 66 now through odin. My backups have worked fine before (the exact same ones that just failed). Once this is finished and I test out my backups (assuming they work) how should I go about reflashing JellyWiz? Should I format the system, data, cache again or just do the normal wipes? I'm afraid formatting will mess it up again. Is CWM inferior to TWRP? Thinking about using a different recovery after all of this.

I personally use cwm and to me it's more a matter of preference. I too have had a error restoring backups once and it was after a system wipe. A word of advice, because this saved me, keep a ROM on your SD card at all times to be able to just flash in an emergency.

I think you missed my point, at this point he needs Odin. However, if you keep a zip on your SD card then if your backups gasp like his situation he can just fish that zip. It was simply some advice for future reference, were not all next to a computer ask the time. For people like me that just get an urge to flash it helps to have backups like this.

in order to flash jellywiz i had to do the following or else i bootlooped:
wipe data/factory reset
wipe dalvik cache
format system
flash rom
booted up flawless.
i also used this methid for paranoid android...i will probably update my guide with this. unfortunately i cant give any info on what formatting system is actually doing. never had to do this before??

I don't know why they are suggesting it but it doesn't do anything beyond the normal factory reset and then the zip formatting system itself.
Its just the manual way of doing what a clean flash does.

Why are people having issues restoring nandroids after doing this? Apparently bootlooping occurs after format/jb install/restore previous nandroid.

if im not mistaken formatting the system deletes the rom/kernel itself...normal factory reset from cwm recovery only deletes rom data/cache.

Yeah you're right but the zip of the ROM 99% of the time formats system also.

i wonder why i had to format system to get the latest jellywiz rom to not hang on galaxy s splash screen? it makes no sense.

Also, how does a format not erase your nandroids? It should also wipe titanium backups if they are not on your external. Am I wrong on that? Could formatting lose certain bits of info that the nandroid may not have partitioned, and that's why the restores are not working correctly?

[Q] How Do You "Start From Scratch"?

Been noticing some quirky behavior with my trusty ol' S2 lately.
The usual factory reset/wipe hasn't seemed to help.
Is there a way to basically "nuke" everything on the internal card, comparable to doing a format/OS reinstall on a PC?

Yes, odin the stock rom and wipe the internal sd card. See vincom's stickies in the development forum on how to return to stock. Read them carefully and more than once. Doing it wrong can brick your phone

Read through Vincom's excellent guide a couple of times and I didn't see anything about wiping the internal SD card.
Does that happen as part of the process of going back to stock?
I'm guessing I want to remove the card from the micro card slot before starting?

Use twrp to wipe the internal. It's a different wipe than factory reset or the caches. Flashing with odin will not wipe the card. If you have a card reader you could take it out and format it that way.

OK, so I've read and re-read through all the steps and here's what I think I need to do...
1. Flash stock ATT radio using CWM (currently have CM10 and my understanding is that going back to stock via Odin will not restore radio).
2. Return to stock via Odin process.
3. Install TWRP via Odin process.
4. Return to joys of custom ROMs...
Did I miss something or have the order wonky?

you need to read more slowly lol, flashing stock firmware via odin restores everything including radio but flashing it first wont hurt if its for that firmware, but yes the steps are right but read the op of rom to see which radio works for said rom.

Somewhere in one of the guides I could swear there was a statement that going from CM10 back to stock would not reset the radio.
Anywho...
The process worked like a charm; many thanks to everyone who helped out.
The stock ROM loaded perfectly and I got TWRP on instead of CWM; I actually like it better than CWM now that I kicked the tires a bit on it.
I ended up putting the stock radio back over the CM10 version - not sure if it's just my area or AT&T voodoo but it works better for me.
The only gremlin this didn't fix was a problem with Pandora streaming. I stream it via Bluetooth in my car and when I skip or "thumbs down" about 50% time the stream signal is broken.
Bluetooth still shows it connected but it no longer plays and the phone audio is borked as well.
I'm wondering if this is a Pandora issue or maybe a CM10 and Pandora quirk..

[Q] Bootloop after StockRom flashing

Heyo everyone
I'm coming from cm10.1 and now i wanted to go back to stock.
so I've downloaded I9105PXXAMC2 from samfirmware.com
unfortunately after flashing via odin i got bootloop
i've tried to wipe from android recovery but then there's only a red triangle
is there any solution?
it's almost impossible for me to download another firmware because my internet speed sucks so massive

I think installing clockworkmod for wiping isn't an option. The op flashed stock Rom probably because he wants his warranty back
Installing clockworkmod again would void it again. If the stock Rom you downloaded is the one you had before rooting, then try flashing it again. If it's not, then download your originally out of box stock Rom and flash it with Odin.
Like...the same baseband version as the one you had before any modification of your system

Did you wipe before flashing via Odin?

That's a question too... How to do wipe, if all I have is official bootloader, with debugging OFF, and loop / stuck on SUMSUNG logo?
(I don't care of any kind of warranty, just want to boot up this brick with ANY ROM!)

There are no my contry ROM. I stucked with bootloops and debug options OFF. What to do???! It's driving me crazy...

After almost two weeks of seeking for solutions all over internet, the problem was solved. First of all there are no way to root without debuging off via odin o any other tool. All what you have, is just to look for your original firmware of the phone, and it supposed to be four file package.
Looks like:
FULL_CSC_I9105PXXAMC2_I9105POXAAMC1_I9105PXXAMC1_DBT.tar.md5
FULL_MODEM_I9105PXXAMC2_I9105POXAAMC1_I9105PXXAMC1_DBT.tar.md5
FULL_PDA_I9105PXXAMC2_I9105POXAAMC1_I9105PXXAMC1_DBT.tar.md5
s2ve.pit
In this case it was german phone so files end with DBT.
CSC - as CSC
MODEM - as CP or PHONE
PDA - as AP or PDA
and pit file for re-partition.
The name of whole package is GT-I9105P-DBT-I9105PXXAMC2_Service-Firmware.zip
For those asking for delete dalvik/cache/factory reset, the solution is - RE-PARTITION!
I used also option Nand Erase All, just to be sure I delete everything.
All other operations goes as usual in Odin.
I can't post links here, bat me mercy on those looking for solution for days and weeks long.
So here is link that I found on some forum that leading to (thanx Goshhhh!!!) to Google docs, so download was just 5 min. long.
Here is German (DBT) package, and some other usefull links. Use G. translator to understand.

If anyone have problem with bootloop when flash original rom, solution is simple. Just go to recovery. Samsung has stock recovery. Wipe data/factory reset and reboot phone. Thats all . PS to go to recovery turn off phone. Wait 3 seconds. hold home buton, volume up and power buton in same tame.

Well this worked for me just fine

Boot into cwm
Go tot mounts and storage
Format everything (no ext sdcard
Flash firmware with Odin andere cwm would be deleted

[Q] Fastest way to flash back to stock 4.1.2

What way is the fastest and most secure to flash back to the stock samsung 4.1.2 image? Is there anyway I can use fastboot to format my entire phone and then push the stock image to it? I think there is an easy way to skip the flashcounter and ODIN. I am on CM10.2.1 (stable) and after countless ROM flashes and going back between 4.3 and 4.4 I have so many folders and directories and partitions it is crazy. How can I wipe the entire phone so nothing at all is on it and go back to TW 4.1.2.

A link to a guide would be helpful also. I can't seem to find one.

With what you are asking for, you want Odin. Odin flash this file and it will wipe your phone clean and restore you to stock, unrooted VRBMF1 4.1.2. You will want to root and unlock. Do not take any OTAs when your phone boots up. Follow section 5 of Droidstyle's guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1762709
Just use the tar file I linked below in Odin:
Only flash if it ends in .tar or .tar.md5, here is the VRBMF1 tar:

Depends if you have any ticks on the counter if you do you should triangle away before you odin. Are you planing on staying on touchwiz or will you be rooting unlocking and flashing a new rom? because if that is the case you could just wipe internal sd in twrp or clockwork mod then flash your desired rom on a nice clean internal sd.

I plan on flashing cleanrom8.1
If I wipe internal SD in recovery will it fix all extra file paths and partition problems I had before? And does wiping internal SD wipe the recovery?

It will do a format so as long as the partitions are the correct size it should fix any problems. Recovery will stay just as it was before the wipe. When you go to do the wipe just click on everything but external sd. I cant remember if it says format or wipe but do it a few times before you flash cleanrom and you should be on empty canvas to write your rom to. Just be warned that there is a format data option in twrp I believe (been a long time since I have seen a unmodified version) that will erase everything including external sd so don't use that. Also dont forget to have clean rom on your external before you start!

ooooohhhhh I hope you see this! If it only has sd card as a option in the wipe menu that is probably your external sd.

Hopefully you are still awake. I wiped internal memory and did a factory reset for safety (don't worry I removed my SD card haha) And I flashed CleanRom8.1 zip and it said it was successfully flashed. When I rebooted the device I got the "please enter pin or password for this encrypted device" message with an area to type in. This phone has never been encrypted. What do I do? If I wiped internal why would anything other than what I flash be on the phone.

I wiped Internal memory, wiped data&cache, reboot....bootscreen.....la la la la...."Enter PIN or Password" screen appears. For a brief moment my statusbar is shown. The phone appears to be in airplane mode. It does not show the proper time either.

I did a quick Google and it looks like for some reason or another that rom installed encrypted. A factory reset should fix your problem.

Did not work, still there. But Im trying kitkat again. Quantum seems very stable. The wiping internal drive helped with my other issues though.

I have seen this issue before but mostly that encyption popup is displayed in TWRP. I don't recall seeing any one method that ultimately worked for people. If you search for "encrypt" in this Q/A forum, there are 7 pages of results with a lot of inconclusive results or workarounds. I've skimmed the first 3 pages and haven't seen anything that stands out but I've seen similar issue reported by a few others.

Thank you for looking. You would think with an internal memory wipe, factory reset and system wipe it wouldn't be encrypted. Funny thing is...I've never encrypted it either, maybe touchwiz is not for me. Life is telling me something haha.

Erik, did you have any luck going from 4.3 back to 4.1? I'm getting the firmware upgrade error.
Any thoughts?
