Factory data reset will wipe :
1. internal memory
2. /sdcard/.android_secure/
3. /sdcard/android/
anything from /system was untouched.
Thanks

i used to have a bookmark to a thread about how to remove it. but i seem to have lost it
anyone wanna help me please ?

Hey man I'm not one hundred percent sure about this but I don't think you can. You probably need to restore an old rom with xrecovery then reflash your current rom without it
Sent from my X10i using XDA Premium App
Delete or Rename the file "data.img" located in "sdcarcd/xrecovery"
im almost sure there was a way. u have to rename some file on the sdcard i think.
thanks tho. yea i thought about that but dont really feel like it lol
Or just wipe factory data in xrecovery and wipe cache then reflash your current rom but before that make a backup using titanium backup then once you reflash your rom download titanium and press restore missing apps with data and your good to go

few hours ago' i was moved my Launcher from phone to sd card and after that i rebooted my phone and im stuck into bootloop which was the CM7 Animation.. nothing happens after that.. tried many times..
i was wondering if the problem came from moving the launcher from phone to sd card'?
i dont have the stock launcher that was came from Mik's 6.5.7 coz i deleted it on system apps.. can somebody help me with this'?
im looking for a solution where-in i need to FLASH a new launcher not installing it as a normal apk because i know that if i flash a new application it will automatically install on PHONE not on SD ..
does anyone here has a flashable zip for a launcher'?
look at my sig for more info about my phone..
thanx!
All you really have to do is reflash 6.5.7 to get the default launcher, Ive never moved any launcher to as storage, the rule is you don't move widgets to as card.

i know that there's alot of ways to solve this ****.. i hope one of the DEV can see this to help me outta this ****ty situation
It's definitely caused by moving your launcher. You should flash the rom again or just restore system from a previous backup of the rom

if i re-flash the rom' will it only change the settings on my phone' not deleting my installed applications'?
sorry for the noob question coz i havent done this before
**i cant find any flashable launcher to test if that will work
As long as you don't wipe data/factory restore, all you need to do is wipe dalvik and wipe cache bit do Nand backup before hand than reflash 6.5.7

Do full wipes (data/factory reset, cache, in advanced, dalvik cache and battery stats) and then reflash the kernel and reinstall your rom, it should be ok.
Make sure you have backups of the information you really need.
What should i backup?

I don't know In my case the only thing i care about is my contacts, anything else i can configure again, and older txt/sms messages I can do without. You can export the contacts to sd-card, but if you want more, just do a backup in CWM, and after updating your phone, just restore the data from your backup using advanced restore from CWM.
And while you're doing all that, get nAa-12 and MiniCm7-2.2.1
Ok thanks for your help
I will do as you said and reply in this thread

it isn't more easy to synchro your contacts to the google account that you use in your phone.
with every new rom-kernel instalation I always do a backup but at this point I have never need to use it. :/ and after the configuration of the google account my contacts get restored.
hey Devs
is there a way to only backup apps akp and install after flashing of new rom in single step?
thank you
Note
Data will be in Internal storage of xperia S so data no need
and i have too all single apk by file manager and install one by one after flashing..

You ask all the time it seems... And yes! There is the built in backup app and there is titanium backup.
And dont flash your phone to much... You will get bad sectors... Or brick it.
Read a little in the forum before asking about everything

Flashing a device never creates bad sectors nor bricks a phone mate.

Yes, but it's a good practice to keep a cwm backup always before flashing.
Cwm backup means..
What n all does it backups
Sorry for noon question

sony back up - default restore and back up program of sony (included in the firmware)
titanium - back up system and data same like sony restore and back up apps, but with more options. (with free and paid app from google play), can be used to restore single file.
clockworkmod (cwm) backup - back up of system, boot and data ( these are done in recovery), can be used to restore system only or data only or boot only.
1. cwm (if you are flashing roms) - really need this back up in case of error or not booting
2. titanium if you are restoring single file or freezing apps or converting apps to system apps.

No question is Noob brother!
Cwm is short for ClockWorkMod Recovery by Koush.
After installing a custom kernel you get this recovery. When the phone boots (if you have ulbl) you get a vibe+blue led+white glowing illumination strip all at once... Hit volume up rocker once.
You'll enter cwm.
If you choose backup option from there... It backs up your system, boot, cache, data.
In case of any mistakes or something in future you can always enter cwm and choose restore to bring your phone back to the previous state.
You can go to advanced restore and choose either system/boot/cache/data or all.
Thank... if helpful...

I've tried several ROMs on my Neo MT15i, rooted, unlocked bootloader, alliance kernel 1.5, firmware .587. Now I'm on Thilinac Ice cream pureness 14 sp1. Everything is working well..... but... Every time I reboot the phone I MUST clean cache and Dalvik cache via CWM recovery. If I don't do it , after booting several apps go force closing in loop and the phone is unusable. I've had this problem also with other ROMs like Jelly-Sandwich, any release. Tried also to format sdcard without benefit.
Thank you for help
Try clearing app data from settings!
Then,reboot

Unfortunely it doesn't work....
It afflicts every app I install as user, either in system /data, or in sdcard.
After installing a new Rom, on a clean system, I use titanium backup to re-install my apps.

I do this every time I install new ROM
I've formatted system, data, cache, everything. Than reinstalled the ROM (Ice cream Pureness 14 sp1).
when booted I didn't reinstall anything from Titanium and tried a reboot......... As usual, Gmail and Google playstore
went FC loop. GMail and Playstore are apps coming with the ROM .... Than I rebooted in recovery, wipe cache and dalvik cache and .... all run perfectly and smooth... The problem is still there.
Next time I'll try formatting all, reflash firmware .587, and than reinstall ROM.

Exactly. I had this problem with JellySandwich too, I tried several ROMs, but, at last, what I like more is IceCreamPureness for its balance , smothness and for very good battery life.
And how u solve this FC problem?

explained in previous post.
The problem is related to the moving of apps to sd card or in system partition. It afflicts the managment of dalvik cache

I asked about that b4 and they told me it's ok about partitioning sd card.. I was suspicious about link2sd and u confirmed that now but iam disappointing the basic reason that I root for is to move all applications on sd card
