My cousin give me an I9003, cause he bought a new phone. I upgrade the rom to XXKPE and then to XXKPQ, wipe data/cache and everything works fine, but when I start the phone, old data still there, accounts, software, etc. So, I do it everything again with .pit (3x just in case). I do an adb wipe all, wipe data, but everything keeps in there laughing at me
I downgrade it with old roms, format internal sdcard with CWM, with standard recovery, I really don't know what more to do. Every help will be thankful.

I have the same problem. My friednd gave me an i9003. Wipe is not working at all, even from Recovery. I connect the phone to PC and use the internal card, no matter what I do, changes don't apply. I copy/paste/delete/format/even odin flash, no good. Everything comes back as before reboot. What is it related to?
I used to have an i9000, but nothing applies to i9003. I flashed i9000 1000 times and at last got a mmcblk2 error, fixed it with external sd swap. I'm thinking of swapping emmc with sd on this one too, but cant install a rom from CWM (I can install install CWM from ODIN though and can flash CFROOT too). In CWM internal storage can't be mounted... Motherboard problem?

Have you follow the procedure in this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1894737 or try other stock roms? I have no problem in erasing the old data.
Question - Haven't found a clear answer
I'm new to flashing and because of this, I'm constantly flashing Roms over the past couple weeks messing around.
I've determined Viper to be my daily driver so far, but I'd really like to be able to just flash a backup on rather than reinstalling everything and reconfiguring it the way I like.
1) If I do a backup with Clockwordmod on my current system, then say, Flash Baked on my phone, do I need to flash the boot.img back on the phone from Viper (I use Flash GUI) before I flash the Nandroid of Viper back on my phone? Or does the backup (nandroid) do this?
2) If I format my SD Card parition, will I lose anything like my CWM installation? (or the ability to flash)
Sorry guys, this would help me a lot.
Thanks

For a start dump CWM and get TWRP. Any backup you do will need you flash the boot.img that goes with it and ya do it the way you said. No need format the sd card.

Question 1 is answered and is what I thought but wanted to be sure!
Question 2:
Just to be more clear, I bought the phone 2nd handed (it was mint) but the SD portion is full of folders, pics, etc that the previous owner had. Rather than going through everything and deleting, I was wondering if simply formating the SD partition would hurt anything or cause anything to be reinstalled for flashing?
I've had 0 problems with CWM with flashing 8-9 Roms so far. Is there any particular reason for switching?
Thanks for the reply, Learning lots of good info.

Flashing is fine but you can't mount sd as mass storage and have you ever tried turning your phone off? The way I clean the sd is to do it before flashing a new rom and I don't format it but just delete everything there.

I've got it figured out.
Since you brought the topic up, one last question.
I got CWM installed before coming to XDA and have noticed most recommend TWRP here.
Is it simply because its touch based? Or is there anything in particular that it does better? I've had no issues at all with CWM and don't mind using the volume rocker/power button.

Its got bugs like not being able to turn your phone off and if you mess up somewhere it will bootloop to the recovery and can mount sd as mass storage. Ya it does have touch but you can get touch version of CMW too.

Hey, I use a GT-n8010 tablet, and I wanted to flash the HyperDrive ROM. So I went ahead, and did all the necessary things only to find that AROMA installer froze every single time, trust me when I say I tried over 10 times. So then I tried to mount my internal SD to try out another ROM, only to find that CWM doesn't mount my internal SD to my PC. Then, I tried copying it over to an external SD and then chucking it into my tablet, but CWM is not able to read my external SD card. I had wiped all my data and cache and dalvik cache. But then accidentally, I formatted my internal SD as well, so I don't have the ROM file on it.
Now, I tried to flash TWRP using download mode, but then it says USB debugging has not been enabled. I'm not able to go back to my stock ROM since I wiped all my data, I'm not able to flash back my nandroid since it's in my computer and I can't transfer it over to my tablet. I can't flash a new ROM since none of the SD cards are mountable.
Some help would greatly be appreciated! Please help out a noob here, I don't have any idea as to what I should do next.
Thank you so much
No one? Someone please help me out! I'm completely lost!

I did do that, but for some reason, it's stuck in the Samsung logo. And I tried resetting from stock recovery, but still got the same result.
I think you should flash stock with odin or flash a different recovery. I think it is called high on android.

I am having a hard time finding anything that shows how to format just my internal storage (where downloads, etc live). I am selling this phone and wish to perform the wipe but keep root.
Can someone point me in the direction of a thread or knows how to do this?

you will need to go to settings->backup and reset-> and choose reset phone.
make sure you have already backed up all your files on you computer or sd card before doing this also make sure your SD card is removed as well.

And this factory reset will not remove root or associated files that are in the Stock Rooted Rom?

Depends... How did you root? Weaksauce or perm root via custom recovery?
If you have TWRP or CWM installed format data from the Wipe menu in recovery. That will wipe your apps and personal data but keep your root intact.
If Weaksauce is installed to /data it would be wiped by a factory reset mentioned above, but you could easily reinstall it and gain temp root that way.

TWRP has an option to wipe just the internal storage.

Yeah, but unless TWRP for the M8 works differently than TWRP for my Transformer tablets, the /data wipe doesn't wipe /data/media and he/she wants to prepare his phone for sale, as in: making sure no personal data is left. AFAIK only formatting data does that.

TWRP will allow you to wipe everything. If I read correctly he wants to keep the device rooted but clean. Use TWRP to wipe Internal Storage, Dalvik,Cache,System,and Data. Before rebooting device install a fresh copy of whatever ROM he wants from the External Card. This should achieve what he is looking to do. You can then remove the external card or wipe it too if it's going to remain in the device.

And I would suggest not going stock to take the ota. Flashables of the firmware and 4.4.3 will be put up really soon after the actual ota drops, then no risk of locking up your device

OK, sitting tight.
Don't ask me how, I installed wrong Rom on my edge 7, as result, no USB connection.
So can't use Oddin to replace ROM and of course can't root.
Also, all rooting app fails, I guess because they recognize it as a different device.
A part of that the device works great, but I can't do any updates and I have a challenge...
Any ideas?

Without a usb connection you're very limited. Have you tried booting to recovery and factory resetting it?

Nor from bootloader

A factory reset will not help. You need to download the correct rom and flash with twrp. A factory reset only clears data and cache, you need to delete system by installing the correct rom.
If you want to be safe, (make sure the rom you download is on external sd card if you have one) before flashing the rom, go to the wipe section and choose advanced wipe... Wipe system, data, cache, dalvik cache, and internal storage (Only do internal storage if you put the rom on external sd... DO NOT wipe external, or internal if the rom is in internal)

Don't ask how?! How the heck can you flash a different rom unsoported device is like I flash s8 rom on my S7, that's no make sense,
What variant you have? We don't have Cristal balls to find out, did it get into download mode?
If so, install a rom downloaded from sammobile for your phone variant

Man in happened to me twice (note 4 and s7 edge) and i was going mad! The problem is just, unfortunately, that your usb port or controller is broken and you need to replace it. I used my note 4 for months, updating via recovery, not being able to connect to any usb source. If you try, USB OTG won't work too because basically the port is not able to carry any data, just charging or fast charging
