Hey all. I have the stock OK3 .tar.md5 file. I've flashed it with Odin, making sure Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time is checked - everything goes fine, the phone reboots and there's no setup wizard or anything because all the stuff i had previously on my phone is on there, account info and apps.... any idea why? How can I go back to stock WITH a wipe of the phone?
Factory reset first then flash with ODIN?

Hello all,
I recently botched the install to the Nightly 1.3 (or 13) Cyanogen Mod 7, and when performing a factory reset, the phone simply boots back to CM7. Is there a way to completely erase everything and start back with stock Froyo/Android 2.2?
As it stands, I can't even go into recovery mode from Rom Manager for some reason. It either freezes upon boot, shows an "unpacking" image and goes nowhere, or simply shuts down the phone.
Thank you in advance for your help.
You'll have to flash a different ROM, a factory reset just wipes data.

tick re-partition、Auto Reboot、F.Reset Time to flash
I am having some serious issues with my phone today. What exactly is the point of formatting system, data, and cache after you wipe? What is the advantage and what happens if you just wipe and not format? I have never had issues making backups and restoring them until I started having to format before flashing these new JB roms. I have noticed that any backup I make (even ones that I have successfully restored without issue numerous times) completely stop working after I format my phone. Phone has bricked three times today.
This morning I had to bust out ODIN again and flash the Root66 (stock root) to fix the phone. Annoying, but no big deal. After I'm done I made a backup of the stock root. No issues. Then I go into recovery and factory wipe, wipe cache, and wipe dalvik. Did that twice. Then formatted system, data, and cache twice too. Flash the TasteOfBeans rom...installs no problem. Working great. Spent about two hours setting my phone up the way I used to have it. Boot into recovery and make a backup of this rom since I have set it up. About an hour goes by and I need to use my GPS so I boot into recovery and attempt to restore the stock root backup I made just this afternoon and it fails. Why the hell is it failing? Then I go to reboot system so I can at least get back into the JB rom and it just get stuck on the samsung boot logo (my boot loader is unlocked).
I had these exact same order of events occur with JellyWiz last night. I'm pretty over the whole format system, data, cache after wiping because this is the only new thing I have been doing and its cause me to bust out ODIN about three times in two days and all my backups are failing.
VERY frustrating...
To make it even worse after my most recent run in of failed restores and stuck on boot, I just ran odin again flashing the same Root 66 that I have been using to solve my issues all day and now its stuck in the Verizon 4G LTE boot.
So, even after using ODIN the phone is stuck in the Verizon 4G LTE bootloop. I flashed the Stock Root 66.
After I gave up on that, I decided to completely unroot the phone and start from scratch so I flashed the stock unrooted zip in ODIN. Same result...cant get past the Verizon boot screen. What is happening? Is my phone completely screwed or is it fixable?
Alright, perhaps you should try odin flashing the phone back to complete stock. No Root66, just factory firmware.

Odin the stock Verizon ROM.
During first reboot after Odin, sometimes the phone will hang. Pull out the battery. Count to 10. Put the battery back and hopefully the phone should boot.
....just double check all the proper boxes are checked and unchecked in Odin. PDA only.....

I had FP8 stock -rooted, and it was working fine. This morning for some reason I found it turned off. When I turned it on, the phone starts normally, but it reaches home and turns black.
I restarted more than 5 times and it didn't work, so I decided I will reset with the pit file and EP4D. It flashes fine, but then it loops again! Tried Odin 6 times till now!!! with and without pit, and still loops. Did this happen to any of you before?!
did you try entering Recovery and doing re-flashing and/or doing a data wipe/factory reset?
Yes, that was the last thing I tried before resetting! I had one CWM backup after the fresh FP8 install. I got error while restoring (error: formatting system, I think). Then I odined back to EP4D
Any Help??!
I think you have to Odin stock ROM.

Hi JihadSquad, The Stock ROM is the Stock EP4D, right? the one from imnuts reset instructions. I did odin it almost 7 times. I tried to use the Stock CWM, and chose reset again from the menu, and it formats everything, but it gives an error in formatting system!

I screwed up my phone! I got it starting yesterday after rebooting A LOT! then I got an error on the SD card. I opened it on my computer and it worked fine. I decided it to format it, and I format it to FAT32, and now it doesn't recognize it anymore!
So, I then thought may be I need to odin the pit file again to re-partition, Odin gave me an error, couldn't write to the phone. So now the phone actually starts, but doesn't recognize the SIM card nor the SD card. Yeah! I am gonna try to get a replacement today.
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.

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.
I've been rooting and customizing phones since the original T-Mobile G1...but this phone gives me headaches. I unrooted my phone through superuser and updated my phone through smart switch, I even tried odin to flash an update but for some reason it just gets stuck at the Samsung logo, if I re-root my phone it comes right up...I can get my phone to come up every time I've rooted it but if I don't root it after odin flash or smart switch, it just sits there. I've waited 30 minutes or more each at the samsung logo. Anyone who can help me, I just want to unroot and flash a clean stock firmware.

Go into TWRP recovery and wipe dalvik cache, cache, data, and system. Then reboot into download mode from TWRP. Then Odin flash stock firmware. Once booted or if stuck on boot logo, try to boot into stock recovery and wipe data factory reset. Power on and all should be good. I've done this before with success.

This should definitely work, however be warned. If you end up having to go into stock recovery for a factory reset, all of your user data will be wiped.
