I have a samsung galaxy s2x (SGH-I727R) from rogers. I tried to root it but it did not work as I used a wrong instruction (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1514434) Then I did reset factory which removed the USB storage and made the phone fresh. I then tried another instruction that I cannot remember what it was. I did not work neither I guess. Because, when I put a Bell sim card into the phone it did not recognize that, but there was a superuser app installed in the application menu. However, I tried to run the reset factory again and try another approach, but it did not work. When I try to run reset factory it stops after a couple of seconds. When I shutdown the phone, it cannot completely be off and I have to remove the battery to make it off. I also tried to enter to recovery mode but after pressing a button in that mode the phone is crashed and I need to restart the phone.
So I am really really confused and I don't know what to do. I am also new in this kind of things. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Ebi

HELLO EVERYONE,
this is my first time ever posting, I have a very weird issue with my Motorola xoom tablet, this is a Verizon Motorola xoom 4g model mz602.
the issue I am having is that every time I try to factory reset my tablet it goes back to the WAY it was left, what I mean is that it wont reset at all,
I tried everything from factory reset on RECOVERY mode to RSD lite program using factory SFB file and FAST BOOT COMMANDS, and nothing is working,
the weird thing is that THEY all say that they were SUCCESSFUL to reset and stuff, but when tablet reboots its back at the exact same way it was, same apps, say google account, same wifi network , everything is the same as if it was not resetted at all, when I tried the FACTORY RESET from recovery it says this
wiping data
performing BP clear
BP CLEAR FAILED.
formatting data
formatting cache
data wipe complete
but then when the tablet reboots same thing, tablet is back to the way it is with all the user data and all the information there,
when I say I tried everything I mean everything, I unlocked the OEM to to try to install a custom rom but when I try to install the custom recovery the tablet will reset back to its original RECOVERY. I even followed the GUIDE to make sure to go STRAIGHT into recovery to avoid the INITIAL boot to restore the original recovery, but it will not work, so like I said, when I try to restore the image using RSD lite, computer shows as if everything succeeded on RSD lite, but it doest work, FAST BOOT commands from ADB show successful or completed, but same thing, please some body help .
thank you in advance
Galaxy S4 Sprint Encryption failed - stuck on Reset Device
Hello all,
First, forgive me if the steps I followed below don't make any sense, I don't really know much if what I am / was doing. Anyway:
I have a Galaxy S4 from sprint, L720
I'm about to sell my phone, and I few months ago I rooted it following this procedure using odin:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4-sprint/general/rom-100-stock-l720vod2-5-0-1-t3105760
Not too much to say here, this is just more of a background information.
Anyway, Because I'm selling my phone, I wanted to make sure my information was deleted securely form the device, and found that many people said it should be encrypted.
I tried to do that, and after a couple of hours of the phone stuck on a blank screen, I removed the battery and restarted it.
Now I have a screen that says "Encryption failed" - "Reset Device", only the button to reset it, does nothing.
I follow that guide again, installed that rom again.
I also have twrp, did factory reset, wiped all the data, and still, when I boot, I get that same message.
I have also tried to backup the data (after the debacle), restore it and factory reset the phone.
This leaves the phone stuck on the very first screen, "Samsung Galaxy S4", which maybe a good sign or not.
Any ideas?

Reflash your device with stock firmware and wipe it.

That worked. I had tried with other ROMs, such as the rooted one mentioned above and it did not work. The original one did. Thank you sir!
I'm trying to perform Factory Reset to my phone by the following methods:
1)By going into Setting>Backup & Reset>Factory data reset
In this method my phone just restarts and says 'system software not authorized by verizon wireless has been found on your phone please contact nearest Verizon store''
So my resetting process by this method is simply FAILED
2)Some people asked me to perform a Hard Reset. I cannot perform a Hard Reset because the Bootloader is locked and i can't go into the recovery
So please help me to Reset my phone
Hello all.
I was having some issue with Galaxy S6 (ATT G920A) slowdown so I did a factory reset. I am on Android 6.0.1.
After the factory reset was complete, the phone didn't recognize my samsung account and I was locked out on FRP.
I used Samsung Tool PRO to bypass the FRP and it worked. The tool said I need to do a factory reset to complete it but when I try to press the 'delete all' button in FDR, it does't trigger.
Then when I tried to install any app, it would say it doesn't have enough space. When I checked the storage, I was shocked that out of 32 GB, 31.02 GB is reserved by system memory.
Anyone know how to fix this? No matter how many times I factory reset it using 'Pwr+vol up + home' method, it still takes 31.02 GB. Please check the attachment.
