Factory Reset Not Reseting - Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G

Rooted my phone, but when I went to flash a new ROM I tried doing a CW data wipe, and the phone locked. Took out battery after about 10 min. Booted normal, but I was no longer able to download from the Market. Tried re-flashing the stock stuff, and still no dice. Every time I try to factory reset through the menu it says'Performing factory data reset' and just circles and circles and nothing. Goes on for at least 15-20 min. What is up with the market?

Read that too fast. Dalvik not data. To clear the dalvik cache I need to get into recovery right? Have been trying to do that but can only get into download mode. Tried getting cwm but can't download anything from the market. Thank you for the help you have been offering.

So download mode as in your phone is still plugged into your computer and you do the volume hold/power button combo? If that's correct, unplug your phone from your computer than do the volume hold/power button combo. And cwm is installed via odin, not the play market.

I SERIOUSLY CAN'T THANK YOU ENOUGH!!! I swear I had been trying all this but nothing. Installing cwm via odin triggered a 'hey wait a minute' moment for me. I had done that, but then re-flashed the stock rom. The cwm flash allowed the recovery to come up and bazinga! All fixed!

[Q] Installing JellyWiz Beta 4

So I'm coming from Synergy Nightlies 73. Using TWRP2.2 I did the normal steps before loading a new ROM. ( Cache Wipe, Dalvik Wipe, System Wipe) Once I flashed the JellyWiz Beta 4 ROM the phone booted up just fine. However, it froze within a matter of seconds and I had no functionality. I pulled the battery a few times and each time the phone would freeze. I had to restore my previous ROM. Any ideas or has anyone had this problem? I really want to try out the new JellyWiz.

with cwm, it would be under mount and storage>format system/data/cache.
I don't use twrp but I'd think there's a similar option.
Also check md5 to make sure you have a good download.

I don't see that option(format system) anywhere. I went under wipe and wiped Cache, Dalvik, and System. I did try to select the Format Data but that option failed multiple times.

I've always used CWM without any problems until recently. It wasn't creating back up of my ROM. So I made the switch to TWRP which seems to work fine when loading other Synergy builds. I checked the MD5 and it was good. I may have to go back to CWM however, without a back up I'm afraid to flash anything.

Yeah, know what you mean about not having a backup. It always a hassel installing everything from scratch.
Have been using cwm 6012. Never had a problem making backups....or anything else.
But yes I'd try the system format along with clean wipe before installing Incubus beta4. I'm testing it right now too. Has few minor bugs, but overall very fast and slick

So I went back to CWM Touch 5.8.4.9 everything worked like a charm. I was able to back up and install Incubus Beta 4. When I was using CWM I realized when you wipe data it says factory reset. Which is an option on TWRP in the wipe menu. So I believe that's what I was doing wrong. Operator error! Thanks for the the replies.
I haven't been able to get wifi tether to work on Beta 4. I'm going to search the forums for the solution. Just wondering if you've had an issue?

[Q] Help cyanogenmod boot animation

Hello,
I have a Verizon Galaxy S III, new, just followed the tutorial here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1875914,
I used Rom Manager and tried to flash CM 10 from my external sd card and I got the following error message:
"E: failed to verify whole-file signature
E: signature verification failed"
from this point I was able to reboot the phone and the phone worked fine (with touchwiz and original android 4.0.4).
I then used EZ Rom from this tutorial to try to accomplish the same thing (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1762709)
I selected CWM 6.0.1 and it allowed me to select the nightly CM 10 zip file I had put on the external sd,
I then installed from sd the gapps from the same tutorial.
All appeared to be normal and I then rebooted the phone and now all it will do is show the cyanogenmod boot animation.
I have tried taking out the battery and restarting it but that does not fix things, I still get the cyanogenmod boot animation and nothing else.
Can anyone offer any suggestions? Sorry, I have searched the forums but cannot find an answer.
Regards,
M
Also, I believe I had accomplished rooting and unlocking correctly with the exception of no audio "Unlocked" message--that is, I only got a "your phone is unlocked" message on screen when I used the unlock app. I did not get the audio as the tutorial said I would.

First off, thank you kintwofan for taking the time to help me, I appreciate it.
So I pulled the battery, held volume up+home key+pwr and was able to get into recovery,
I selected data reset
Now when I boot up the phone the cyanogenmod boot animation appears and I get a message "unfortunately, the process com.google.process.gapps has stopped and I can select ok
then I get a message set up wizard has stopped.
should I pull the battery and try to install from sd card the CM10 nightly zip file again?
Thanks,
I would say go back to recovery. Factory reset again, under advanced wipe dalvik cache and under mounts wipe system. The flash cm10 and I gapps again. By the way what gapps do you have?

I did the factory reset, then wiped dalvik cache, then I chose format/system under wipes and mount.
I then installed from external sd the CM10 nightly
I did not install the gapps zip file this time,
and rebooted.
now the phone boots up and and appears relatively normal (compared to my Galaxy nexus)
the android version says 4.2.1
However, there is no service, it does not connect to verizon.
if i make the screen black then hit power, the message at the bottom of the phone says "no sim card" but my sim card is installed (haven't taken it out at all)
What should I do next (can't tell you how much I appreciate this--I will pay you!!)

I can see that the gapps file was not for android 4.2.1 but rather 4.1
so starting over with the factory data reset etc, will report back soon, fyi i found a gapps for 4.2.1 here (http://goo.im/devs/PureMod/GAPPS/gapps-jb-20121130-4.2.1-signed.zip

I've successfully got the correct gapps on the phone now, but no service, it says no sim card

Odin Question!!

i used TWRP to restore a backup but it wiped system and then failed. not noticing this i rebooted and the phone shuts off when i boot it. i tried holding power + vol up + home to get into recovery and install another zip but it hangs on the "Samsung Galaxy SIII" splash screen. if i use odin and it relocks my bootloader, will it format my internal memory? i had issues with this before and i dont want to go through losing all my data again. if anyone has any alternatives they will be much appreciated
You could Odin flash a no wipe rooted rom and see how it takes then.
Did you try doing a full wipe (factory reset/format system) and then reflashing a ROM?

One more thing, your bootloader will be locked when you flash this. Just unlock it using EZ Unlock 1.2 and you're good to go if you want to flash roms and such.

[Q] Can't reinstall apps after flashing CyanogenMod

I just rooted my Verizon Galaxy SIII (MF1) via Casual and flashed CM 10.1.2. Only problem is I can't reinstall any of my apps. I've tried pushing apps from my PC to my phone. Downloading while online from the phone itself. I used titanium backup and backed up everything before the flash, but I can't figure out how to access the data I backed up. Sorry, I'm a noob, but I searched for hours and couldn't find a solution to this specific problem.
(Also, my camera hasn't worked since the flash)

Yes, and now I just get a message that says "Unfortunately, Setup Wizard has stopped." As soon as I press OK it pops up again instantly ad infinitum. And now my phone won't boot into recovery!
Go into recovery wipe cache and dalvik reflash the rom and gapps.
Edit: sorry missed the can't get into recovery. Do you have goo manager or rom Manager depending on which recovery you use and reflash recovery via app. If not as next user pointed out Odin is your friend.

That's what I'm trying to do...unfortunately my phone will not boot into recovery. Holding down proper buttons does not work. And since I'm stuck on this error message I can't get to terminal app to reboot. And when I hold power button the "boot in recovery" option is not there.

Then the only suggestion i have is to flash stock rooted rom or any TW rom and see if the phone works properly. Then we can proceed fresh again. If you run into issues on TW rom then a full odin to stock might be required.

Ok I just flashed my stock rooted rom and everything seems to be working just fine. I think I'm going to hold off on flashing a custom rom again. Want to do some more research first. Thanks for everyone's help!

[Q] Randomly stopped booting?

I have had flashed the newest Mokee rom around a month ago. It has been working ever since fine. Lately it would freeze up and id have to take the battery out and reboot and it would be fine. But yesterday, it froze and I tried rebooting then it just wont boot. I left it for around 10 minutes and its still booting. I don't want to factory reset because I dont wanna lose all my stuff on the phone. Is there anything I can do?

There is a release version in mokee thread, download it and make a clean flash. Follow these steps;
Wipe cache, delvic and data
Flash mokee rom and reboot (do not flash GApps)
Let the ROM settle for about 20-30 minutes
Reboot to recovery and wipe cache and flash GApps.
Good luck.
