Hi guys,
Sorry if I'm posting this in the wrong section.
Ive got an unlocked boot loader atrix and got Kens 2.3.4 running on it. . I want to clean install(Delete everything on my phone. Settings, accounts etc) RED pill
I already went into android recovery and wiped data/factory reset. Also wiped cache partition and delvik cache and THEN flashed Redpil but still all my apps/data is still in the phone on Red Pill.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Same issue
I'm having the same issue. I've tried a data/factory reset a few times and I can't get it to actually clear my data.

I have just flashed my Galaxy 5 with Cyanogenmod latest and it is now stuck on a reapeating splash screen of a little blue droid guy, its not doing nothing i cant access my phone as it wont advance from this splash screen, i have removed my battery but nothing has worked.
Any quick tips/fix please?
have you wiped data, cache, and dalvik cache?
I havent a clue what you mean so i'm guessing not aha:/
whats your custom recovery?
for amonra, there should be an option called wipe and it has everything i just said.
for clockworkmod, theres wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition, and under advanced, theres wipe dalvik cache
I am not 100% positive but i used Clockworkmod v4 in order to get Cyanogenmod 7 onto my device if that answers your question? (im new to all this stuff).
All ive did is;
Installed clockworkmod v4
rebooted my device.
installed cyanogenmod as a zip from my sd card
rebooted my device.
Turned it back on and just this splash screen repeating
Im sorry i suck at this aha
with your phone off, hold home+vol down+power.
when it boots into clockworkmod, on the first menu, there should be an option to wipe data/factory reset and another one to wipe cache. do both.
then after you are done with that, go into the advanced menu and select wipe dalvik cache. now reboot
When i hold that combination down it brings up Download mode for some reason :S
oh yeah. my bad i was thinking about my phone.
try reinstalling the recovery (using odin) and see if it boots back into recovery (do this at your own risk; since i dont have a phone that uses odin, im not sure if this will work or not)
Could this damage/brick my phone?
Thank you so so so so much sir! Id take my hat off for you, if i wore one!
I love you.
im guessing it worked, right?
no problem
Yes ahah, longest 3 minutes in my life though! Thanks alot.
Hi Guy,
I got a BIIIGGG problem.
After doing some VERY quick research i decided to get started by rooting and installing VillainROM, which worked lovely...no probs, however because there was a lack of themes (the main reason i rom'd the phone), I was swayed to go for Cynogen.
After downloading CM7.1 and installing through CWM my phone will not boot.
I have tried to do a factory reset through CWM, wipe the cache, and reinstall VillainROM but to no effect and stupidly i didnt backup my data.
Any advice on what i can do or have I bricked my phone?
What does the screen show? Can you get into download mode or recovery? Have you tried flashing the rom twice? This worked for me in the past.
Ricey
yep i can get into recovery and download mode, but when i boot the phone no joy
Ive tried installing the rom several times
Try formatting /data, /cache and /system from CWM recovery before flashing the new ROM.
If that doesn't help flash a stock ROM from Intratech's thread in the dev section via Odin.
1st- Boot into recovery.
2nd- wipe data/factory reset
3rd- wipe cache
4th- go to advanced/ wipe dalvik cache
5th- go to mounts and storage - format/system
6th- go to install ROM from SD card - select the ROM you'd like
7th- reboot system DO NOT TOUCH MAY TAKE A WHILE
8th- let it sit for 10 minutes once its booted so all the cache can build back up
9th- reboot, set up, and enjoy!!
Hope this helps!
Enzopreme you are a legend many thanks indeed
Today i found my phone very slow and internal memory almost full with nothing really installed.
I decided to flash DDKQ5 (Indian Firmware). When i used Odin and flashed my device. All the process went through fine. Odin showed Green (pass) but when i checked my phone it wasnt flashed. I could see the old apps and contacts still. Where am i going wrong?
And yea i am flashing DDKQ5 over DDKQ5
Do
Wipe cache,
Wipe data/factory reset
Wipe dalvik cache
from recovery and reboot.
Hope it solves ur problem.
Install clockwork mod.
Flash custom rom

I've had CM9 installed on my GT-I9100 for a while now, and was upgrading the Nightlies for a bit, but haven't done for a few months. I decided it's time to finally upgrade my CM9 so I downloaded the latest Nightly.
I copied it onto my phone, and went into CWM 5.5.0.4
I cleared the Cache Partition and the Dalvik Cache and then installed the ROM. I then restarted CWM and fixed permissions and then rebooted my phone, however once I do this, it just hangs on the SGS2 Loading screen with the yellow triangle. Is there anyway to fix this at all so I can update my CM9? I also have the latest Google Apps downloaded but have not installed them yet.
The details in the about phone section are:
Baseband Version - I19100XXLPH
Kernel Version - 3.0.15-I19100XXLP6-CL72050 [email protected] #3
CM9 Version - 9-20120318-NIGHTLY-galaxys2
Build Number - IML74K
are you still on boot screen?
if you have backed up apps, reflash after a wipe data factory reset,
I'm trying to avoid a factory wipe if possible. If not, then I'll do it. Luckily I always do a CWM backup before upgrading so I have my phone back still.
try with only wipe cache and dalvik before and after flashing..
still no hope...then backup apps with TB do factory reset.
Flash cm9 again and nothing else. If that doesn't work then flash latest siyah. That should do it.

After messing around with a few of your ideas, i managed to get it working!
Thanks!
I was flashing CM9 from CM7 on my Motorola Defy, botched it up intially due to a slip of my finger which led to me to Clear the cache first. But then I restarted the entire process by Clearing Data -> Installing -> Flashing Kernel and so on...
But when I tried to clear the Dalvik Cache, the phone didn't delete it. It didn't give me a message that it wiped the cache, but it didn't say otherwise either. This led me to believe that the cache just didn't exist anymore.
As a result, I'm unable to install apps - Says there is no memory and I need to make more. Also, everytime the phone comes on is treated as the first time. It takes me through the whole process of Setting up an account and everything. This has rendered my phone obsolete.
Please help me!
Thanks in advance.

EDIT: Solved, reflashed the stock SBF. But is this the only solution? :O
Have you tried doing a clean install?
Honestly, any time you get issues like this where the phone gets stuck (either in a boot loop or resetting your settings every boot, etc.) it's best to just wipe/factory reset and re-flash everything.
This is also why it's important to make backups so that if something does go wrong when flashing, you can just restore and be good to go.
If by a clean install you mean starting from wiping data, flashing the ROM on again and going on to clear cache and dalvik cache; Yes I did that. But I'm unable to clear the cache.
I ought to have created a backup, didn't.
So how can I go about fixing this issue?

A clean install seems like the main thing to do (again). If you want, you could try going back to stock.
Installing again didn't do the job. Still can't wipe Dalvik Cache and the Setting still reset on every boot.
The chief problem I have with this is that I'm in India whereas the stock baseband is Europe. So to change it I've to reboot and can't do that because it resets every boot. @[email protected]
Is it a problem with the Kernel?
I'll go back to stock, but it seems a bit complex and I'm afraid I'll brick my phone. :'(
EDIT: Felt it was important to mention that the boot screen still shows CM7.1 and not CM9
I have a similiar problem.
Everytime I choose clear Dalvik men, it looks like he freezes for about a second or two. Then you see the 'menu' no - no - no - no - yes, clear dalvik memory - no - no - no (or something like that) pop up for half a second, and then it is gone. Is this a problem in CWM? Or is it in my phone?
I have a similar problem too! When I hit 'clear dalvik cache', the CWM screen just flashed once and nothing happened, and nothing says 'cleared dalvik cache' or similar...
Me too , how to solve it? Can anyone help? Mine is samsung gio
I have an issue similar to yours with my tablet (samsung galaxy tab 4 10.1 or SM-T430NU) in which it doesn't mount /data and it doesn't let me wipe to factory. Still haven't found how to fix this.
