im sure i read somewhere that this could cause bother but i cant remember which wipe it was that was bad to do. can someone let me know (as i have it installed and may want to wipe my data at some point)
Hard factory reset (vol and power) safe?
Soft reset (android menu) safe?
Wipe via recovery safe?
Cheers

Wipes in recovery and factory reset are safe.
As I can remember on ported ICS when you hold the power button while the phone is ON it displayed three options Power off,restart and Restart into recovery.The bug that caused bootloop was that Restart into recovery.But now on official ICS we don't have that problem anymore..

I tried to restore my phone back to stock by flashing the stock tar file through Odin, and now it won't turn all the way on.... I tried it twice and then tried the route66, PLEASE HELP

How far into the process does it get? Can you get it into it to wipe and factory reset? If it's boot looping then try wiping after flash.

If your phone connects to Odin then it's a good sign.
Download stock Rom from link and make sure to check md5 for match.
Only flash if the md5 matches.
...make sure the appropriate boxes are checked (and unchecked) in Odin before flash.
Wait! Untill you see the green pass on Odin after flashing before disconnecting the phone. Phone may hang with first reboot. Pull out the battery and reboot a second time

Yeah, you have to make sure you factory reset when setting it back to stock. It will put you into a bootloop or hang on boot if you don't.
To get into recovery to factory reset press 'Volume Up' + 'Home' + 'Power' and hold it until youre in recovery.

Already reboot it..nothing happen..after factory wipe just reboot it back??what effect to my tab if i factory wipe it??does the app delete or what??thnks
if you factory reset it, all data present in your internal memmory will be deleted!
my advice is to backup all your content!
copy content to your pc
factory reset
wipe cache
wipe dalvic
then again copy your data back in your device
and you will have your problem solved!
if i removed ur doubts, plz hit like button

To do so, go to recover mode (POWER OFF+VOLUME UP+POWER BUTTON). Now, from here you can do the same.

heheh! ok ok! ill explain more! in recovery, i will do factory reset! ok. then here is no option to turn off the device. it only has reboot option. after rebooting, the apps load itself, and a new cache, data is made. My problem still exists! :crying:
Download rom manager free from the play store and flash custom recovery from there and now try to boot in recovery mode. You should have cwm recovery. Now from here do the things u wanna do and then it should work. If u flash cwm recovery from rom manager, it will still raise ur flash counter so to reset it root and download triangle away. I have a tutorial for it. See my threads.

Firstly if u have cm recovery installed.. Go to recovery, wipe data, cache n delvk cache, format Sd card n format system as well.. Then reboot the device.. If tab fails to boot, relax, go to download mode by pressing volume down key + power key, then volume up key to go into download mode n simply flash stock rom through odin.... Secondly.. Jus flash stock rom through odin.. If tab stuck at boot animation.. Go to recovery on the spot by pressing volume up key + power key.. N simply wipe data/factory reset.. Dats it..

No reason to wipe before flashing stock via Odin because it resets EVERYTHING in the process.

You can get into recovery from the bootloader.
Hold 'Vol -' then power on to get to the bootloader, press 'Vol -' to scroll down the list to recovery then 'Vol +' to select.
Thanks buddy. Got into the recovery, when I pressed on wipe cache. It would then go to a different page asking me what package to install.
Kind of like a bug, I was definitely pressing the correct one, then I tried the data factory reset, this acted like the cache wipe. It done something, then rebooted, my phone wasn't wiped.
Anyone else experienced this?

Yes definitely some bug in recovery the items don't correspond to the actions. 'Install from SD card' is in the list twice!
