[Question] Can't wipe data/factory reset and home key malfunction

I got two problems with my i9003.
1. I want to wipe my data but I can't.
I tried to wipe data in CWM recovery mode. and I tried to reset my phone. But both of those methods didn't work.
2. The home button is malfunction.
It can awake up to phone but I can't back to home (launcher). Besides, long press home button also malfunction either. No recent tasks show.
P.S. I used odin to install the latest stock firmware and used CT-Root method to install CWM.
:crying: Does anyone have same experience? Plz help me :crying: :crying:

flash cwm again and try.

Try doing a clean install ... that is
1st flash xxkpe using guide from here and download xxkpe from here
After this try flashing whatever latest stock rom. I'd advise to go for ddlf2, as it's pretty stable and other fellow devs have ported a lot of stuff for this firmware.
All the best !:good:

i was facing the same problem but i think it shows more on xxkpq flash another like rom ddkp3 or ddlf2.

[Q] Help with Angeeks_SamI9103´s ROM!

Hello guys!
Since I'm new to this forum im not able to post in the development section, so i ask for your help here.
Im trying to flash the new rom Angeeks_SamI9103´s ROM but got stock on the Galaxy R boot screen after flashing it from CMW 4.0
The Galaxy R splash screen shows in few seconds and after that the phone restarts back to the CMW instead of booting up.. I have followed the installation steps by first flashing the stock I9103XXLQ9 ROM, flashed CMW 4.0,0,2 and then the ROM its self. So whatt am I doing wrong?
Sorry for my bad English and thanks in advance.

1: Flashed the Nordic I9103XXLQ9 ROM USIN Odin v3.07
2. Booted up once to the rom to check if its had installed correctly
3. Flashed CMW 4.0.0.1 with Odin
4. Done a factory reset, wiped cache and dalvik cache
5. Flashed the Rom and after the process was complete from CMW, i restarted the phone but got stock on the Galaxy R splash screen and the phone restarted back to CMW.
6. Tried to wipe cache and dalvic cache again but still the phone wont boot up.

First, u are coming from deodexed Rom.
Do one thing.. just install ur backup(if u took that one). Then install xxql9 using odin v 3.07(do run as administrator) & Then let it boot. Switch off the mobile and After that install CMW v4 & Then let it boot again. Again switch off ur mobile. Go to recovery install MOD rom. Dont wipe anything. It will do it by itself. Boot again. Let feel happy..

How to install this rom on stock GB?
I am currently on stock GB (Indian vesion). Can I directly flash this rom via CWM 4?? The Q&A in rom's post says there is no need to flash XXLQ9 first, but everyone is suggesting to flash that first?

Well.. I already flashed the Angeek's ROM via CMW before you replied and the ROM seem to work fine. Any idea on what features I may be missing on?

GALAXY Y Boots only in Stock ROM even after flash

I had rooted my phone, and did use Jelly Blast for a while worked perfect. After a few days I tried installing mods through cwm which led to boot loops. I used odin and got stock ROM for my phone . Now when I tried installing Nemesis ROM, I followed all steps right but though it shows Nemesis boot picture, it still boots into the stock OS.

Update ur cwm version
Flash ur rom again
It will ask u to disable stock recovery say yes
This should fix ur problem:thumbup:

I have tried the following steps:
1. Odin stock rom: I just have pda,csc and modem. I do not have bootloader and pit.
2. Then went to Recovery and installed CWM
3. Installed custom rom JELLY Blast which previously had no issues. (Before this I wiped data,cache & dalvik)
4. Result - > Stuck on Samsung screen.
After which I cannot get back to any recovery mode anymore, it is stuck on samsung screen. All I have to do is go back to download mode and odin it again. But I really want to be back on custom roms

Hi,
This is not your phone issue alone but any phone can face this. To reproduce this issue, it takes more than what you have mentioned. But the solution comes through if you follow these steps just as listed by me here:
1. Get an older version of official Samsung Firmware (preferably 1 or 2 versions older than the latest one)
2. Flash this using ODIN (if flashing fails at any point via ODIN user an even older Stock Firmware version)
3. If you can boot into the Rom fine, reboot to its Stock Recovery
4. From Stock recover, start the CWM.zip that you have (version 5 or 6 whichever lets you load fine, does not matter at this point)
5. When inside CWM, go into Advanced and select "Fix Permissions"
6. Only after you have fixed permissions, go ahead and do the Wipes in the order below
7. Wipe Dalvik Cache, Wipe Cache, Wipe Data
8. Once this is done, load the custom ROM you want to install from this CWM session
9. After install, when you go for reboot, see if you get any option that says something like "prevent from flashing stock recovery" or so, say yes to it.
This should fix any permission issue that may be preventing you to get to your favorite ROM from stock ROM.
Let me know if this helps or if I can help you further.
Glad if this helped you in any way !

Unable to install Custom ROM in Tab2 P3110

Hi,
I am unable to Install any custom roms in Samsung galaxy Tab 2( Gt-P3110 ). When ever a custom Rom is placed, It either gets stuck in the Samsung logo, or just shows a 'Blank' Screen and hangs on that screen. After this i have to reflash the stock firmware to get the tab up again... (i do perform the wipe data/cache..then wipe cache. then wipe dalvik cache in this order before flashing the ROM)
The details of the tab are:
Model- GT-P3110 ( Galaxy tab 2 , wifi only )
android version-4.1.2
Build number-JZO54K.P3110DCMA4
Recovery: PhilZ Touch 6 Recovery ( Based on CWM Base version: v6.0.4.5 )
Rooted: Yes
Even the backups made are not complete, restoring a backup restores the tab to factory reset.
(it does say failed to find partition /recovery and /data for a very short time before starting the backup).
I am using a windows 7 system for this.
Thanks for the help...
Regards

what costum rom did you tried to install?
============
ROOT and update recovery:
HERE is the fastest way to root
reboot to recovery, and flash latest recovery again from HERE
reboot and go to recovery again.
Flashing roms:
Do a back up of important data/rom, place it inside your pc
Inside recovery:
Wipe data
Wipe cache
Wipe dalvik cache
Format /system
Format /cache
Format /data media sdcard
Install rom
Install gapps
make sure your rom and gapps zip is in extsdcard, or else it will removed
be carefull not to format /extsdcard
above process will surely give positive results if done preciesely

For some reason this tab only works with Phils recovery.. for the rest. it just refuses to work.,! but the problem was that i could not get into the external memory card.. anyways.. after following the 'data wipe' instructructions.. i sideloaded cm-11-20140304-NIGHTLY-p3110.zip with its gapps..
both got installed succesfully.. However,, at first the tab went into a boot loop.. so i got into recovery again and cleared the data and cache partitions.. now.. i got stuck at a 'Blank' screen after the samsung logo.. ( its still blank after 10 mins)..

did it still blank? carefully not to flash with the charger on.
some people got bricked and to resolve that you must wait until the battery drops out and charge it again.
maybe you should clear your mind first, don't be in rush. i feel your frustating man :laugh:
if you do not add anything more in the process, i suppose with any recoveries you will succeed.
and also, it's a normal to take 10-15 min on the first boot

Maybe your EFS broken for some reason... that´s why it won´t boot into system.... you can try all roms, no rom will boot and you'll only see the samsung bootlogo...
this got reported in a german forum, because 2 guys flashed CWM 6.0.4.4-Touch on the device... CWM 6.0.4.4-Touch not released for the Tab 2 - it was for a different device and flashing that recovery brokes EFS for them.
also seems that it happens here too: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2657774

Accidentally wipe my OS via TWRP

Hi,
I have a samsung galaxy tab p1000, running on android 2.3.3 and I accidentally wipe the system via TWRP. I searched and tried steps on how to flash its stock rom, At first it smoothly flashed the rom, but when it reboot...violaaa..my tab got bootloop And when I reboot to recovery I can't select an option two times(for example, I have selected Wipe data/factory reset, then it has an option of no and yes.. [I can't click that yes/no]. Hope you help me.. Thanks in advance

Thanks for ur concern sir, I have already fixed it, thanks for reminding me to flash recovery again.. The only problem is: the screen is too hard to touch and i have noticed that, it is the common issue when rooting and flashing custom roms on samsung gt p1000. Thanks again
