So I have been using Hyperdrive for a while now and love it.
But my gps doesn't lock on, i know there have been plenty of topics on it.
But i thought that since I was not able to do a complete factory reset that this could be the source of error.
I am using CWM 6.0.1 and every time I try to factory reset my phone it gets stuck on formating /data. It ran all night last night with no prevail.
I have no idea what to do.
I tried to flash TWRP over CWM but cant figure out how to do that either I guess.
I run Ubuntu and have heimdall installed but am missing the proper librarys to factory reset
so I am at a loss and would appreciate any help I can get
Thanks ahead of time
If I were you sir, I would odin back to stock and start over. And you can use ROM Manager to flash CWM, and use Goo manager to flash twrp over CWM, You would not be able to restore a backup of CWM with TWRP and vice versa. Hope this helps.

I have the wifi only 7310 model of the 8.9
Overcme CwM Recovery 5.1.2.6
ROM was Galaxian Soup AOSP 1.6
My tablet resets during recovery. Half through a data wipe ROM install ROM backup or ROM restore it will reset and reboot.
It first happened when i booted into recovery and triedROM issue. to make a back up of m y current ROM and attempt to flash the aokp one. It reset during the backup process.
It shouldn't be a ROM issue. My tablet did this once before, it would reset when i did anything involvng dataon an Overcome ROM i think. Data wipe/backup etc. I left it alone while the ROM still worked and tried again a week later with no issues.
Any ideas? Now i have a soft brick that cant boot past the Samsung Screen. I can get into recovery and download modes.
I am so sorry, i posted this in the wrong forums, can a moderate please close this thread?
Yup, thread closed. Hope you figure out your problem.
Okay so I backed up my rom fine. When I went to restore it, CWM would get a little ways through restoring data and reboot the phone. What the hell?
Running stock rom and the latest version of CWM.

This is happening to me, as well, and it renders the restored phone inoperable as it seems to fail and reboot during the data restore. Wiping the data altogether and thereby starting fresh is the only way to get it to boot. Not Happy.
put your phone in download mode and try reflashing the cwm with the latest one: 6.0.4.3 via odin.
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
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

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.
Sorry, I should have posted this here:
Hi,
I can't stop rebooting to CWM after I did a factory reset in android.
I had been using bulldroid, but I did a factory reset to give the phone to someone else, and it kept booting to CWM.
So I just installed bulldroid again from .zip file in CWM, and it said it was successful, but after you reboot, it keeps doing the same thing.
How do I get the phone to actually boot to the firmware again so I can use it?
Have you tried to flash CWM again with Odin ?
