I have just returned my Tab to the shop and I wanted to make sure I had fully wiped it.
I restored my ROM via Clockwork Mod (which was a backup of factory fresh), then I restored the stock recovery via Odin, then I wiped data in Stock Recovery.
I then booted up the tab and went into File Explorer and all my files seemed to be gone!
I am guessing this has got rid of my files that were on the tab (sdcard)?
Cheers

Hi all,
I am looking to try miui on my Galaxy S2 and I've read I should do a factory reset in clockwork mod first. If I do this will it delete my clockwork mod backups? If I do not like miui and restore via clockwork mod will everything be as it was when I backed up the phone or will some data get erased?
Thanks,
JJ
your data will get erased unless you do a back up of the data as you are using to different types of firmwares. when you switch everything will get wiped on your phone.
I ODIN'd back to stock from the Avatar Rom. I ran the update file twice to get into CWM recovery. I did the Factory Wipe, Wipe Data, & Wipe Dalvik Cache process. Loaded cm-10-20120823.1414-UNOFFICIAL-vibrantmtd which I had on my phone once before and when starting it said my IMEI was different. No biggie, went back to stock. Tested the phone, IMEI was back to normal.
I then did the update to root only, booted the phone, downloaded Titanium Backup Pro since I've been able to restore my IMEI before while using it, tried to use it and was told I wasn't rooted.
I then downloaded and renamed recovery-clockwork-2.5.1.2-vibrant to update.zip. I ran the update file twice to get into CWM recovery. I did the Factory Wipe, Wipe Data, & Wipe Dalvik Cache process. Loaded cm-10-20120823.1414-UNOFFICIAL-vibrantmtd again on my phone and when starting it said my IMEI was different.
Can someone tell me what is going wrong? Recovery also seems to be reverting back to stock recovery when I go into it.
Used SOC. Loaded RemICS, no IMEI change occured. FIXED!!!!!!
Could it be that I need to first install CM7 before the CM10? That wouldn't explain the phone reverting back to stock recovery though.
I'm hoping someone can help me. I've been through a bunch of ROMs over the holidays and I can't shake a problem I currently have - whenever I flash a new ROM (via CWM) I'm getting the Samsung Keyboard taking up 0.89TB - leaving me with only 1.27GB of free space on a clean install. This is across Nephilim, N3BULA, and beans' "official" 4.3.
To recap what I've done:
Flashed the Beans leak (using twrp) as soon as that came out - did the broadband etc, it was working but was giving me resets.
Dirty flashed the Beans official (using CWM that time) when that came out since I was on holiday and didn't want to redo all apps
That worked well for a while with occasional restarts until one day it restarted and was like a factory reset.
CWM a fresh "Official" - worked great.
CWM over to Nephilim - that was working, then did a Nandroid in CWM to sdcard1
CWM over to N3BULA - then did a Nandroid in CWM again to sdcard1
Tried to Nandroid restore back to Nephilim but got an error on data
CWM back to Nephilim - doing the normal wipe cache, dalvik, factory - and started to install apps
That's when I ran out of space and first noticed that Samsung Keyboard was taking up .89TB. That was not the case when I was on Beans "Official" before my random factory reset. Since then I've tried all these things to fix it, none of which have worked:
CWM wiped and reinstalled Nephilim - no go
CWM Nandroid restore to N3BULA - same error on 'data'
CWM flashed over to N3BULA after wiping and reseting
CWM flashed back to Beans
Deleted the CWM backups since they weren't helping, factory reset, wipe cache
Odin 3.09 back to Root66 stock VRALJB 4.1.1 12/2/12 and PIT - although I couldn't boot in to this ... not sure if its because I didn't change baseband - although Odin said pass
Flashed latest Philz CWM while I was at it, then Philz CWM to Nephilim
And that's where I am. In ES File Explorer and a Disk Analyst and they don't find any large files that could be eating up all my space.
Can anyone clue me in as to what I did wrong or how to fix it? Thanks!!!
Switched to TWRP and wiped everything and it finally fixed it.
What fixed it for me:
I had made a backup through TWRP 2.6.3.0, but then upgraded to 2.3.6.1 after. Not sure why it didn't work on 3.1, I flashed back to 2.6.3.0, flashed my backup, and everything works again.
So, I've been having one hell of a battle trying to get MJ9 and ROMs based off it to work in the last couple days. In the end, I have decided to go back to my Liquid ROM that I have a backup of yesterday morning in TWRP. This backup, until now, has served me well and has gotten my phone back to how it was.
Until now.
I wiped everything through TWRP and tried to recover my ROM image... Now when I boot, it's stuck at Samsung Galaxy Note 2 screen, and stays there indefinitely. I can boot to recovery if I pull the battery. How does this happen? I was recovering back to this backup just fine until now.
I've deleted system/cache/internal storage, flashed, then deleted cache, no luck.
I flashed Beans stock deodexed 4.3 image. That booted ok, but when I go back to recovery, my Liquid backup still will just hang at the Note 2 screen.
What can I do from here to get it working? Do I need to ODIN a pit file? I'm at a loss.
Alright, I know enough to be dangerous. I rooted my Samsung tab a 10.1 by installing twrp and then super su, all went fine. I then began to try and make a nandroid back up. It kept saying unable to mouth data, so I read a little and I changed data format. This caused a boot loop. Went in and changed back data format and used twrp to reset. All was fine again. I then attempted to use titanium backup. I recited a message backup was successful and reboot. I rebooted and now a boot loop. I then tried to reset with twrp and my file is gone. So, I downloaded what I thought was the right firmware to flash with Odin but just made that worse. Does anyone have a download for a rom I can flash with Odin to get this thing going. I have downloaded a couple and the either don't work or are the wrong one. SM-T580.

Alright, I was using an olsee version of odin, got the new one and I was able to flash a rom. It says tab a 6 on boot up bit it is functional. Now my question? Can anyone recommend a custom rom that is nebiew friendly. I'm food at following directions and problem solving but I about had a panic attack, I just got this $300 thing. Sigh off relief for at least getting it functional again.
Hmm
Ok so I have flashed a stock rom, 6.0.1, flashed TWRP, and installed SuperSU. all is working well again. However I am still getting "unable to mount data" message in TWRP when i try to make a backup. If i uncheck data on the list it backs up fine. This is what got me in that boot loop pickle before when i tried to change the data format. What data format? Idk, im scared to jack with it anymore, and im done with titanium backup, it has burned me in the past, though i think what went wrong there was when i backed everything up i then went and change data format and after all that restored and the backup was in a different data format. Idk newbie guess. I am just trying to getting a reliable nandroid backup. Anymore ideas? Perhaps i should just leave it alone and be happy with just having root.
