When I had a captivate, anytime I flashed a new rom it wiped my phone. Now it looks like the theme is applied but all my applications, settings, texts, everything stays on the phone.
Also, I just installed the cherrypi rom and I don't have a camera app. Tried reinstalling and still nothing. Does launcher pro mess with roms? Didn't think so but checking...

Happened again, I flashed alien and it changes the build in settings but it doesn't remove anything. Kenn says that it removes bloatware but nothing was removed...

You need to wipe before and after flashing custom ROMs, bro.
If flashing via CWM, wipe data / factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik... before and after.
If flashing via fastboot, do a "moto-fastboot -w", after flashing the rom.
Alright in CWM I select wipe data and wipe dalvik. It still doesn't wipe anything. I thought this was weird so I asked. I may just do it from boot (hold down after power on, select recovery, etc.). Ill try that and see what happens. Its just going to wipe from internal right?

You have to use tenfar's cwm to wipe. If you're using Rom Manager's recovery then the wipe doesn't work.
The best way so far to clean data is start phone in fastboot mode (turn on phone with vol down key pressed, then press vol up) and using command line send fastboot -w, if you need to delete other partition you can use fastboot erase <partition>, then fastboot restart
Thanks, I know what I did now. I updated CWM from the market and reflashed to a different version...it was working fine after I unlocked my BL, and then I thought it just stopped working. Thanks for the help folks!

How are you wiping from recovery if you're saying you can't get into recovery?
Also, doesn't sound like you have tenfars recovery if you're getting the exclamation sign which sounds like the stock recovery instead.
whats the reason for the reset? if anything you can just reflash the rom if somethings messed up or download another one. there are also 2.3.4, 4.5.9.1 OTA roms for unlocked bl's. just look around in here and you fill find it.
Boot into fastboot and fastboot -w to wipe.
when I reflash the rom all my previous info still there so I can't add my google account cause it's already there. the problem that motoblur it's also there but not showing, also it enters tenfars and after the exclamation I can only see some chinese letters. I'll try with fastboot

Should always wipe when flashing a ROM.
Wipe Dalvik, cache, and factory reset/data, or fastboot -w, prior to flashing. Many people also repeat after flashing.

Some of the ROM's perform a wipe for you during the flash process. You could always try flashing one of those also. Just wipe Dalvik and cache before flashing.

Hello there,
I've been using my Atrix (unlocked bootloader, Orange Stock 2.3.4) for over 2 weeks and yesterday, suddenly, the Wifi stopped. I can't activate the Wifi [in other words, it is not a network issue], it simply doesn't enable. When I try to enable the wifi, it takes like 20 secs and after that I recieve a "Error" msg. Just it.
Sometimes, the Atrix reboots while trying to enable the wifi.
Things I did so far:
- Wipe data (factory reset via phone and via android recovery)
- Wipe cache
- Reflashed Orange Stock 2.3.4 ROM
- Flashed another ROM (nCrust).
*edit: - Flashed another ROM (Ninja 0.4)
*edit: - Changed the kernel from INTL-MBR-d00-GB-Kernel-0.1.2-ext4-sv to INTL-MBR-d00-original-kernel
*edit: - Changed the kernel back to INTL-MBR-d00-GB-Kernel-0.1.2-ext4-sv
I've been looking around for problems like mine and a found a couple dead topics with no decisive answer.
Any suggestions? Could be a hardware failure?
I'm just asking because I want to use the warranty as my last resource.
Thanks in advance

Try forgetting the network on your phone and renaming your wifi and connect to it.
Sounds weird, but it worked for me.

Full wipe? How can that be done? What's the difference between "Wipe data/factory reset" from the Android Recovery and the full wipe?
Thanks again

Yeah, my Bluetooth is working.
I'm trying to change the kernel.
I got this problem after i restored my nandroid backup with other kernel than the present one.
Anyway , i just did full wipe and installed the rom again, now everything is ok.

What kernel are u using? How did you do a full wipe? I read all the "[Updated 8-2-2011] THE BEGINNERS (N00B) GUIDE!!! N00BS LOOK HERE FOR YOUR HOW TOs" topic without finding how a full wipe can be done
Faux123 OC 1.1GHZ kernel.
Get into recovery and flash cache, dalvik-cache and factory\data wipe.
Its written in that guide under ROMs & Kernels section:
3) Boot into CWM Recovery
4) Wipe Dalvik Cache (under advanced in CWM)
5) Wipe Cache Partition
6) Wipe data/factory reset

I did exactly as you say and nothing changed.
This is what I did after:
fastboot -w (to wipe again)
moto-fastboot flash system ORFR234-system.img (Orange stock 2.3.4)
moto-fastboot flash boot ORFR234-tegrapart-d00100.boot.img
fastboot reboot
After the reboot, I installed the kernel "INTL-MBR-d00-GB-Kernel-0.1.2-ext4-sv" again, from the Android Recovery menu.
And still nothing... No wifi + auto-reboots ;/
Wait, the MBR-d00 is " [<{ Tegrapart=d00 Compatible with ATT U4_5.9.1 ROM}>] ", for ATT, not for Orange system.
Don't you need to install the other kernel ?
This one: "[<{ Tegrapart=1100 Compatible with Orange 4_5.2.1A ROM}>] " ???
Just flash the original kernel to see if the Wifi is working ok.
Sorry if i wrong or missing something, i got AT&T Atrix device, im not an international user.
When I type (su) cat /proc/cmdline I get this result "tegrapart=mbr:d00:100:800,kpanic:2100:400:800 ...", that's why I need a kernel d00 compatible, I think.
And thanks again for helping me out, Ofek
OK you doing fine.
After you fastboot flash the system and the boot img files, and reboots, is the WIFI working without the error? and no auto-reboots?
Nope ;/
Wifi still not working. I still can't activate it
Did you try to update the radio?
I don't think so... I'll look into it

wipe data/factory reset only clears user data. to do a full wipe you need to do that, clear the cache, and wipe system but then you need to have a unlocked BL so you can flash a rom image right away.
I think I got the answer... It's the kernel, I believe.
When I use a terminal emulator on my device and use the command #modprobe -v /system/lib/dhd.ko it says that it couldn't load the file.
Still looking into it.
Changed to mbr_d00 GB Kernel Version 0.1.3 and still no wifi.
Trying the mbr_d00 original Kernel Version
No success so far ;/
This sounds to me like a radio problem. Just my two cents, I would look for the answer in flashing the stock radio.

I recently wiped and flashed my phone with another ROM via CWM recovery. afterwards, the home button, while not dead, does not act the way it's supposed to! It can still be used to volume up+home and power to enter cwm recovery, confirm in cwm, and be pressed to turn the screen on from sleep, but nothing else. I suspect it to be something that I did in CWM recovery, but I can't fix it. help!
Sound like rom problem. What rom you flashed? Double check that you downloaded the correct rom for your model. Then reflash again.

Hello,
I have rooted my device and have CM10.1 installed (already months ago).
My kids did something and now the device is stuck on the CM boot screen.
I can boot into the CWM recovery (unfortunately there is no backup present).
I did a factory reset/wipe cache/wipe david cache.
This did not solve the problem.
I wanted to use Odin1.85 to flash a new rom, but Odin can not connect to my device.
I downloaded the Samsung mobile drivers and tried the version 1.3.15 and version 1.3.25 drivers.
When I go to the "Download Mode" and connect the cable to the device (with Odin already started), I get the message on my laptop that the "device is not recognized". On the device the message "waiting USB cable" keeps showing.
I tried to connect with ADB but then when I try to see my device "ADB devices" the list shows nothing.
So I think it is a driver problem, not sure.
My laptop is running Windows 7.
Anyone got any idea what to do??
Any help is much appreciated!!
Do you have any ROM zips in your SD card? If so, wipe system, data, cache and dalvik in recovery and flash that ROM.

No I don't have any roms on the device.
Wished it was so easy.
Well I can't help much since I don't know what your kids did. All I can say is just try to get Odin to be able to recognize your tab, but you already know that.
BTW, here's the driver that I use. http://www.samsung.com/us/support/owners/product/GT-P7510MAYXAB

Did try the drivers you are using, but that also is not working.
I will try to get another laptop and see if it is working on there.
I reinstalled all drivers of my laptop, but to no avail!
I (un/)installed several Samsung USB drivers but all I tried did not help.
So my next step will be first try it on another laptop (I did not get hold of another laptop yet)..
Stupid, stupid.
I had a nightly in the cmupdater folder.
I did wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition, wipe dalvik cache.

There should be boot.img within the cm's zip file.
Check it
or
reflash the rom again and perform the full wipe.

put the stock rom on it if u want and flash it.
and i asked u for the tab details
use this
Hold down the power button and make sure it turns off. There might be a battery charging symbol on the screen once it’s off.
Hold down Volume Down, and then Power buttons. The tablet should power up. Wait till there are two icons.
Press the Volume Down button to toggle between which icon is selected. Make sure the LEFT (USB) icon is selected.
Press the Volume Up button to actually select. Now you are in “Fastboot” mode.
Plug the tablet into your computer’s USB port
Doesn't boot stuck in reboot. Tried fastboot erase cache still no help.
Try reflash in recovery. If still no boot then you should try restoring a backup, or download the rom again and push it to your phone through adb push and then try flashing again. It may have been a bad download. When you reflash factory reset (this does not clear the virtual SD card) wipe the system, then install the rom, then wipe dalvik and cache and see if you can get it to boot.

I wasn't really stuck been though this with other roms just meant that's far as I could get flashing the rom. I tried reflashing clean and dirty with same result. I guess it is a bad download I'll try again later. It took 6 hours then failed at 98% first time on phone, and finally on computer got in about 4 hours. Thanks for the advice though.
I am interested in the rom too. But the download times are crazy. Still haven't got a good download yet.
