[Q] No Boot after Factory Reset - Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have a 80 G9 250gb version and I update to ICS and then rooted. Everything worked fine from what I can see, but now If i do a factory reset the Tablet will hang on Boot.
Any Suggestions on whats wrong?

Which recovery option did you use exactly?
Sent from my Archos Gen9 101

I think the full reset that erases user settings and data. This option was selected with in the OS settings and not the Dev Menu/Recovery menu.

If you were using custom firmware and did Full Reinitialization (in Settings) you have to flash official firmware using Recovery and once again copy archos.ext4 to the tablet- both system image (stored in /data) and backup (stored in "media storage") are not present.

No its stock, all I did was that whole permanent root process within the forums. I'm not stuck in boot, I just want to know why I can't factory reset(Full reinitialization)

Permanent root=custom firmware, there is no way to permanently root stock one.

Because SDE kernel will not mount system image file (archos.ext4) or restore it's backup- both files will deleted from tabled after Full Reinitialization.

Makes sence, so is there a way for (sort of) factory reset, a rom? I mean as in restore it default settings.

Reset Android- it wipes user and system data, doesn't touch media storage (where archos.ext4.backup is stored)

Flashing official firmware does not remove SDE, you will still be able to use custom firmwares.

Ok, so the process to going back 100% stock is:
1. Reflash my backup stock ROM
2. Reflash the stock recovery ROM
3. Unroot
4. Factory reset
Is this correct?

I don't think so. IMO factory reset just deletes user apps and resets the settings to default. I may be wrong though, since I've never tried it.
What is actually the whole purpose of this effort? Are you going to RMA the phone? In that case, just flash it via KDZ, greet it with 3-finger salute when done and take it to the service center/shop.

It doesn't have to be completely bricked. I can foresee many types of hardware issues such as failing buttons, failing touchscreens that would require an RMA.

Yes you can You can install the root via stock recovery, Just flash the file as an update.zip (You may need to rename it)

i have the flickering- korean-cwm problem, means i can not use CWM to root my tab. Would a factory reset bring me back the Samsung recovery ?
Edit: even a factory reset is not possible, when i try to do that i have to type my Samsung-account password but it doesnt work, because there is no Samsung account ID.

You dont need cwm to root the tab. Cwm is there to ceate a backup and flash. You however need to unlock the tab and use either the odin method or the cwm method to flash root

Only time I've seen this password issue its when not wiping/clearing everything.
happened to me personally once when I missed a step going back to stock. I've seen it happen to a few people who later confirmed they forgot to wipe data.

Yes, this was the problem
i did indeed a factory reset from the running system, but after reboot everything was the same except the samsung account.
now a managed, thanks to my DSLR, to navigate through the menu of CWM.
The factory reset worked this time. Hoped it would bring HC 3.1 back but after the F-Reset i had 3.2

you're kidding right? all you need to do is a factory reset, that's a clean install
I did a factory reset 2 days ago and the data folders are still there.
My phone has the same free space on it.
If you want to remove all your personal data, you need to format the sd card. To wipe and format, go into settings | privacy | Factory data reset, tick the checkbox for "format USB storage" and reset phone. To just format, go to settings | storage | format USB storage.
If you want to completely wipe your phone you can enter the following code into your dial pad and it will completely reset your phone to out of the box conditions
Warning this code wipes everthing

When I say everything, I mean your phone will be just like the day it was first taken out of the box with the stock Samsung firmware that came with the phone, wiping any trace of anything you have ever done to the phone.
Edit: the only thing it does not touch is the bootloaders.
It will reset you to the stock kernel, the entire stock firmware that came factory on the phone.

No offense by any mean but if it is true then we won't have hundreds of threads asking and answering "how to return to stock"
---------- Post added at 09:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:09 PM ----------
AFAIK, factory reset (aka wipe data) will erase all installed apps, settings, home screen settings, ...., and all personal stuff that stored in the internal memory.
By "internal memory" I meant the sd card. NOTE this sd card IS NOT the external micro SD that we bought separately and insert into the phone. Dang, i hate this confusion. Honestly, I am not sure that "wipe data" even performs what I said in bold.
Factory reset/wipe data does NOT touch the ROM, not touch the kernel, not touch the bootloader, ...., basically it won't touch any system file/folder.
wipe data/factory reset formats /data and /cache partitions. pretty much nothing else except cleaning a couple of other hidden folders.
never touches /system partition
it would behoove everyone to understand these items as they go around flashing things willy nilly....

reboot just locks up at splash screen and clearing the cache and dalvik wont delete files correct? also the cache we talk about is the wipe cache partition?
Wiping /cache and /dalvik won't delete any data so no worries about that. Wipe them both and then reboot. It will take up to 3-5minutes to rebuild the caches.
I kind of need to know what ROM you are/were on to figure out where to go. Once you answer that and try the above, and it doesn't work I have another idea to try.

trying to reboot now but it looks like it isnt going to work. but i also read somewhere else
Only the factory recovery wipes the /data/media ("/sdcard") partition. Any third-party community-built recovery (like ClockworkMod Recovery or TeamWin Recovery Project) will wipe everything except /data/media.
So, to answer your question, as long as the files are on your phone's pretend SD card (the default for user-created content and files you transfer to your phone), they won't be wiped when installing a custom ROM.
is this true? also again could care less about the phone just need the new baby pics and vids
You are correct. The only ways to erase your internal SD card is by formatting it, masterclear in Odin, or formatting /data (not wiping but formatting -they are different functions).
Did the wipe and reboot work?

Reboot into Recovery. Open up Droid Explorer and see if it finds the phone. If so just browse to where you need and copy them.

[Q] Laggy i717 JB - Fix or ROM?

I tried CM a while back (WAY back, actually - pre-ICS) for the i717. It wasn't bad but after a while I went back to stock because for me it just 'felt' better. Hard to explain it other than that. In any case, I've been on full stock ever since and was happy with it.
Then Official JB comes out from the carrier and my phone is laggy as all hell and it's gotten to the point of royally pissing me off to the point that I'm considering my options.
My question is this: Do we know the cause of the lag? If so, is it fixable via custom kernel or something similar, or do I need to go to a whole separate ROM to get away from the problem (and are there any in particular that are recommended if that is the case)?

I don't recall, but if I had to venture a guess I'd say probably not. I followed the above thread to the 'slow 4.1.2' and disabled everything I could on that list and did a restart, not sure which one did the trick but now it's nice and speedy.Hoping it stays this quick and isn't just a factor of not a lot built up in memory yet. I'll try a factory reset if it bogs down again.
there could also be some existing apps that continue to run in the background.
you might either go into app manager and force close them and clear their cache individually
OR
maybe reboot phone every day or two. clearing any cache build up. kind of a preventative maintinence thing.
if you ventured new ROM, may I suggest Padawawn.
every phone is a bit different, but I have had the best results ever
4.2.2 ROMs perform better IMO. Good luck

i prefer stock as well and was also experiencing lag until i found the right setup for myphone. started out by debloating. then flashed phasekernel_jb.3 and use setcpu or whatever tuner app you prefer and set governor = fantasy/scheduler = sio/min = 384/max = 1728. all phones are different so you may need to try different settings to find what works for yours. i have not had any lag since.
Here is what worked for me. I had the same issue as you and posted it a while back. This also greatly increased my battery life. I suggest that if you are rooted go ahead and wipe the device - in fact do it twice! You will have to reinstall of you your apps but it got rid of all the lag and almost doubled my battery life.

OK.
I am ready to do the factory reset twice. My Note is rooted and have SuperSU. If I factory reset, wouldn't it remove SuperSU also but NOT TWRP?
If yes, can I just install the SuperSU zip from TWRP? No need to re-root?

You will have full root. I always wipe both caches, system and data when flashing a new ROM, its actually the preferred way.

Wait, I already have stock AT&T JB and rooted. I just want to fix the lag and not installing a new ROM. Do I really need to wipe system and data? Wouldn't that wipe the whole OS?
I did the factory reset and want to wipe both caches... errr.. what's the button combination to boot to TWRP? I use "Quick Boot" before..

It can be done by pressing at the same time Volume up and Power buttons until the display lights up, which is when you have to release Power button, while at the same time you should keep pressing the Volume Up button.
If you wish to keep your current ROM DON'T wipe system.

When you said "wipe", did you mean factory reset or TWRP wipe?
If TWRP, which one you wipe? I tried checking all selection and it wiped even the OS!

Just the normal wipe -the first one on the selection menu.
