[Q] unable to delete data P5100 - Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all
I am in need of help, i have a GT-P5100 running CM10.1.2 stable build which has been randomly freezing and rebooting recently. I tried a factory reset via clockwork mod which said it was successful but upon rebooting no data had been reset.
I then tried flashing a different rom via clockwork mod and when that didnt work i tried via Odin, again no errors however no data had been changed. The flash counter in download mode does not increase each time i do this.
I have also tried formatting the sd card via clockwork mod with no success. When i try to uninstall an app it reappears after rebooting.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Same here

It's really strange..file system locked?

Try fixing permissions in CWM. I could not delete some folders but could fixing permissions. TWRP permitted browsing and deleting and that works also.

[Q] Endless Recovery Reboot

Hi,
I have a GSM(Non-US) Xoom 3G, rooted. I downloaded an update OTA and it failed to install. I wiped the cache and downloaded it again. I renamed it to update.zip and tried to install it manually. And now, I keep getting rebooted into recovery. I tried to wipe the cache again but to no avail. I tried to restore from a backup but it doesn't help either. I'd hate to do a factory reset.
Is there anything else I can do before I succumb to a factory reset?
Quick replies are highly appreciated. Thanks!
Edit: I did a factory reset and it didn't work! Please help me! I can't boot up normally anymore. What should I do??? T_T

download a custom rom on your computer, enable usbms in recovery, transfer the rom from your computer onto your phone, flash the rom

[Q] PLEASE HELP android phone keeps on formatting itself on reboot.

I have a Samsung Conquer 4g and I have ran into a huge problem as the title tells itself. I tried flashing the new FC17 2.3.6 update for it and now the phone shows the first start up screen than immediately goes to clockworkmod recovery. I tried restoring a backup of the whole phone I made a couple of days ago and that still doesn't work. Than I also tried extracting the .img files from the backup and tried pushing those folders into the phone but it still doesnt work. Any help? I will also provide with any other information needed. Thanks.

You Should flash the stock firmware through Odin . Your data will not be erased .
Don't forget to press the thanks button :good::good::good:
Really! Flash to stock just for a bootloop. Unnecessary I think. I would just go to recovery and wipe system, cache, and dalvik and reflash the ROM. If that doesn't fix, then do the same but wipe data as well. You'll have to reinstall apps of course with that last one. Also, If you have an external sd card and a card reader, you could download a different ROM to the card and flash that one in recovery.
Lol

Flashing to stock always fix bugs that wiping can't solve
Because flashing to stock will restores the original firmware :good:

cyanogenmod 7 on galaxy 3, no free space/factory reset after every reboot

hi, i've been experimenting with a samsung gt-i5800 which i was given for free if i could unbrick it (it only needed factory restored) i've successfully rooted it and decided to have a go at installing a custom rom, because i was fed up of having to use a static ip address to connect to wifi.
i used odin to put cyanogenmod 7 on it. it worked, and i'm happy with the mod, but it's showing that there's 0kb of internal storage, and every time it's rebooted it behaves as if it's been factory reset (settings, contacts apps etc are all gone) i've read a few topics about these problems, apparently the solution is to wipe it and reinstall the custom rom.
what i'm not entirely clear about is what is meant by wiping it. i'm assuming it doesn't just mean using the recovery menu to factory restore again? what exactly do i need to delete and how do i do it safely? thanks!
i figured out how to use CWM recovery to properly clear it out, then reinstalled from a zip with CWM, it's now working properly.
however i still had the same problem with the rom the second time i installed it with odin, even after using CWM recover to wipe it. it only started working properly after installing it with CWM

"Encryption Failed" - Phone Will Not Factory Reset

After searching through countless threads on this site, I've had no avail in resetting my Rogers Samsung Galaxy S6 running XtreStoLite 2.2.
A little while ago, I thought it would be a good idea to encrypt my phone with a custom ROM installed. I knew I had recovery and download mode, so I thought It'd be no biggie. Left the phone on overnight encrypting, came back 24 hours later and knew that it hung somewhere. Booted it up and this screen came up: Reset it and restored from TWRP backup, the same screen right here came up: http ://i.imgur.com/J37aZaq .png (sorry XDA will not let me post links, remove spaces) after this, I tried pressing the "reset device" button without success. It just rebooted the phone. Tried to restore from a different backup, no avail, then I tried to flash my custom ROM again through TWRP, no avail. I download ODIN and flashed stock Samsung firmware onto it and it still gave me this screen when I was done. Tried going into TWRP and factory resetting (where it wipes all partitions) and nothing happened. Currently, I'm trying to flash my Samsung Galaxy S6 with the stock firmware through ODIN with the "re-parition" box checked.
It seems there's a hardware flag of some sort stopping this from working. I mean, my file system is brand new, reset to factory defaults, I even checked with ADB and everything has been formatted. Checked with TWRP file manager and everything is good. But I can't get past the "Encryption Failed" screen.
Help me! Thanks.
fix
did you fix this?
Hi, i am encountering the same problem with my G920F.
I have the XtreStoLite_Deo_Mod_v.2.3 and also TWRP installed
I started encrypting but it got stuck so i rebooted my phone and got the same message (Encryption failed, please do a factory reset). So i did the reset but the same screen appeared. I also tried restoring from a back-up from TWRP but the same screen was still there. So i decided to do a full wipe and restore the phone with a twrp back up witch was on my laptop. But when i am in TWRP i can not copy files to (or from) my phone. So it is not possible to get the backup on my phone. I am able to get in to download mode and connect the phone with odin.
My questions are :
- what was the solution to the problem?
- What causes the copying error? And what is the solution? So i can put the backup on my phone and try to restore it this way.
- What are my option with odin? Can i use the TWRP files in odin?
Thanks a lot in advance
Jules
Solved the issue. After a full wipe i installed a stock firmware with odin. It still displayed encryption failed after reboot. But after the factory reset the notification was gone.
I have fixed this
Best solution is on a stock rom to reset. If rooted with recovery -format and wipe all data, reset, let sit at boot for a while, go into recovery and install new rom from USB-OTG, or odin from download mode.
