Or maybe it did, but not the way I expected.
So, I've had my Vibrant for about 4 days. Day 1, I rooted it and installed Titanium Backup, which I used to delete a bunch of Bloatware.
Today, I decided to try something different, and wanted to totally wipe the phone clean, restored back to "out of the box" condition. So, I did a Factory Data Reset, via Menu>Settings>Privacy>Factory Data Reset. First I tried the Power Button/Volumn Buttons, but that wouldn't work for me.
Anyway, I finished with the Factory Data Reset and noticed that all of my Market Apps are gone, including Titanium Backup. Funny thing is, I believe the phone is still Rooted, because I still have the Superuser Permission icon. However, none of the Bloatware that I'd deleted, is back on the phone. Of course, since I deleted Titanium Backup, with the reset, I can't access my Titanium Backup that I'd made...lol.
I still want to reset this phone to "out of box" condition, but can't figure out how. I want to delete EVERYTHING, including contacts, music on SD card, and I want everything reinstalled, that came with the phone. At that point, I'm going to do more research, before deleting bloatware. I don't even care if I lose my "ROOT." If needed, I can re-root it.
So, is it possible, to get this phone back to factory condition? First off, this is my first Android and I'm completely an idiot, when it comes to androids...lol. I have no idea what SDK, ADB, or any of those other initials mean, or how to use them. So, unfortunately, I'm going to need to be able to read very detailed, step by step, idiot like, instructions.
Okay, I hope what I just did wasn't an even bigger mistake...lol.
After reading through a couple of threads, I found and tried this hidden code.

That's the one!! Also, there is a thread that tells you what bloatware apps are safe to remove, after you do a back-up, search for that thread and read through it.
On a side note, if you're still learning or never used odin to flash a rom before; there is also a hidden code that is used for factory format. It'll remove all files and settings including the internal memory storage and reformats it. It'll also reinstall the phone firmware from when you took it out of the box. Just go to your dialer and put *2767*3855# and it will perform the factory format for you.
Hope this helps.

Nope, didn't make any difference. Seemed to do the same thing as a Factory Data Reset.
So, now I'll await advice...lol.
Far as I know a factory reset won't restore deleted system .apk's which is what you did by removing the bloatware. Only way is to either restore the .apk's you deleted from a backup manually in which you need root to do this, or via complete restore with ODIN and the tarball. If you don't know what either of this means then I would suggest you read a little more on the forum so you don't wind up with a paperweight. Titanium Backup is great at removing the bloatware but it's not meant to restore rom .apk's which is why they don't get backed up (for safety's sake). It'll backup their settings however. Good luck.

did you make a nandroid backup of your system before you made changes.

Okay, so it sounds like I need to learn how to use ODIN and "tarball?" Not only do I NOT know how to use either, I don't even know what they are! lol. Can anyone point me to a good, idiot proof guide on both of these programs?
Another possible option, maybe. My girlfriend also has a Vibrant, we purchased both at the same time. At this point, her Vibrant is totally "out of box" original. Is there a way that this could help me? Would it be possible to do a Nandroid back up of her phone, and use that back up to restore my phone?

At the time, I hadn't even heard of Nandroid, so no. I figured the Titanium Backup would do what I needed. Unfortunately, I was wrong. Since then, I've heard of Nandroid, but that's about it.
Okay, so I called my local T-Mo store and spoke with a salesman about this issue. Believe it or not, he actually recommended that I call Customer Support and get a warranty replacement, telling them that my volumn buttons aren't working. Honestly, I don't feel right doing this and would like to fix it on my own, errrr, with lots of help from here...lol. The bonus of fixing it myself would be that I'd also be learning how!! As I said, I know next to nothing about Android phones, so would like to learn.
At this point, I want the phone totally back to factory settings, and then I plan to do a lot more research, before making any changes.
Oh and in case it needs to be mentioned again, my phone is still Rooted.
if you download clockwork there are recoveries that will take you back to factory default. if you look in the devs part of the vibrant forum. then look in the Vibrant directory. there are stock backups in there.
did you install any roms? like eugenes or what ever after you rooted?

Okay, so Rom Manager includes Clockwork right? I have installed Rom Manager. In the Market, I see Clockwork, but it doesn't look like a US version, as the price isn't in $s.
As for a stock back up, couldn't I just back up my girlfriend's Vibrant, which is in stock condition, and use that back up, to restore my phone? If so, what steps would I need to take, to do so?

in vibrant general if you go to tips and tricks you can download the app there. it will tell you step by step what to do. so download it on the good vibrant and make the backup. then download the app on the bad one. take the backup from the good one and put it on the bad ones internal sd card. follow the steps to restore the backup. this may fix your problem

Ummm, in your quote, I made something bold. Which "the app" are you referring to?
Also, once I've made a backup of the "GOOD" Vibrant, how do I move that Good Backup to the internal SD Card of the "BAD" Vibrant?
this is for the app.
How it works: The recovery is packaged as an update.zip that you run from STOCK recovery. The update.zip unpacks Clockwork Recovery onto the ramdisk and restarts recovery. When you reboot, it reverts back to the original, unmodified, stock recovery. So, you will need to keep the recovery on the root of your SD card as an update.zip, and apply the zip every time you want to start Clockwork.
HOWEVER, if you use ROM Manager, all of the recovery installation and management instructions are done for you!
Installation instructions:
Download ROM Manager from the Market.
Flash Recovery.
Choose Vibrant as your phone.
Accept the Superuser prompt.
On the very FIRST boot of Clockwork, you may need to manually select "reinstall packages" if Clockwork does not start. You should only ever have to do this once. It will be automatic from then on.
Watch the backup go!
That's it! This is completely painless and safe! There is no need for Odin anymore to replace the recovery or flash updates!
If you appreciate my work, please buy the Premium version of ROM Manager!
To transfer the recovery over transfer it to the external sd card of the good unit. then take that card and put it in the bad unit. then transfer it to the internal sd card.
Hey guys I have been trolling this forum for some very useful information, and it has helped me quite a bit, but on this one I am stuck. Every time I try and delete something on this phone (Samsung Vibrant) it just comes back. This was not my phone before, I am just trying to put it back to stock.
I have flashed the phone 3 times using odin, including using the re-partition option.
When I hook the phone up to the pc, and load update.zip into the root folder, and reboot into recovery mode, it says cannot find sd card/update.zip. Even when I go in and manually delete apps if I reboot the phone, they all just come back.
Am I missing something? part of me wants to say its something easy.. but I have searched and searched about this and found nothing. Is there a mod out there that does this? -Thanks
*edit* Oh, and it seems like any time I think I might get close, I get the little android and the triange w/ the exclamation point.
Bueller?
How are you deleting? What are you deleting? Why are you using odin to delete apps? Not enough info to help you.
Hi, I am just trying to totally wipe the phone back to stock, hence odin. I dont care about info being lost. But like I said.. if I go in and manage applications, and remove them manually, I restart the phone and like magic they are all back.. I am quite confused. I hook the phone up to the pc, open the phone and manually delete pics and songs that way.. unplug the phone from the pc, and its like i never did anything.

If you want to wipe the best thing to do is flash Eugene's Froyo that does not brick. That will get rid of EVERYTHING. From there flash JFD. That will give you the clean start you want.

Yeah, that is the problem. I already did that, and the stuff is still there. I did it 3 times. I flashed it with the 512 pit, did a re-partition and the JFD. Then went back and even updated it to the JI6 firmware, and loaded it with the stock kernel.
I'll help you out before you needlessly flash roms over and over and over.
Before you say, "WTF!!!! That doesn't answer my question" please read to the end.
1. As I understand your problem, you want to wide everything from your INTERNAL SD Card.
2. as such, The steps are as follows:
3. Go to settings.
4. Go to "SD Card and phone storage"
5. "Unmount phone storage"
6. "Format phone storage"
This is assuming that you are ALREADY on stock Rom.
If not, flash the stock first, then wipe your internal SD.
Remove your External SD and SIM card. *(Not required), but i'm paranoid, and this always helps me feel better on the off chance that something does happen while i'm wiping the internal SD.

That was first thing I tried to do, sorry I didnt post that in OP. I tried to unmount and format using the in phone software. I have tried a hard reset using the button combinations on the phone. I have also done a factory format using the service code. All to no avail.
Thanks for the input.. believe me, if I could have avoided the time and hassle of reading about odin I would have. Odin was a last resort.
I dont know if this is helpful or not but after I format the internal sd.
Total Space: 13.18 GB
Free Space 12.31 GB
I am really beginning to think that the internal SD is broken/corrupted or something. As I said in the OP when I boot into recovery, it says it cannot find sdcard/update.zip. Furthermore, if I mount the usb as mass storage, and go into the folders and delete pictures/whatnot. Even if I unplug the phone from the computer, its as if I never did anything. The pictures will all still be there as if nothing happened. If I go in and manage apps, and remove them all one by one, then reboot the phone all the apps are there. These are all reasons why I think the internal storage is messed up.
I was/am quite confused. This is why I requested ideas from people smarter than me.. i.e you guys . Thanks for all the input this far, my OP was a little lacking I suppose.
Did you ever get problem resolved?

@jorsh :
I had the same problem with u. Can't delete few old files that stored in the internal SD. Also, I can't use update.zip in the recovery mode. It says "cannot find sdcard/update.zip.
My phone also can't play MP3 file or 3GP file that transfered from other phone / PC.
Anyone can help us ?
How are you deleting the files?
What are you running?
the update.zip, are you guys talking about rooting, or clockwork recovery?
Sorry, thanksgiving was preventing me from following the thread. The problem is still unresolved. I was trying the update.zip in recovery mode, as far as I know there is no clockwork on the phone. I thought the update.zip was just a recovery image that the phone used as a basis for restoring the phone.

I have tried deleting files a few different ways.
Odin, directly via pc with usb mount, and using the software on the phone itself, and tried using factory formats/resets hard and soft.
What do you mean by what am I running?
i just buy a used vibrant. There are some photos & files in the internal memory. I can erase it with file manager, but when I restart the phone, those photos & files appear again.
Same thing with with the gmail account. This gmail account is sign up by previous user. I can't remove this account.
I already try using "factory reset", but it's useless. Those photos & gmail account still in my phone.
I'm running in 2.1 T959UVJI2
about the update.zip, I'm using for rooting. I can't root the phone too. I'm using the file "SGH-959 Root Update.zip" then rename it to "update.zip"
I put this update.zip that the root folder of my internal SD. Bad thing is, this file is gone when I restart my phone (turn off then turn on). So, when I goes to recovery mode, it always said : cannot find sd card/update.zip
anybody can help me ? pleaseeee. So frustated >.<
Yeah that sounds pretty much exactly like my problems.
Perhaps people are having a hard time helping because we cant determine what you are trying to do....
first, yes, there is a clockwork recovery... download rom manager from the market.
there are going to be folders on the internal memory you can not remove because the OS puts them there.
could you please say exactly what you want to do???
I am just trying to delete everything and basically restore the phone back to factory. But it seems like the normal ways of doing that are not working.
Use ODIN to go to stock ji6 or jk2. I have a guide in my signature
Once you reboot mount the internal memory and format it. Settings > sd card and phone storage

I'd love to be posting this in the actual dev thread, but I can't.
Currently, I can't use the Gallery app because despite having items in both internal and external DCIM folder, screenshots, and where ever else it looks, I consistently get a "no items" error when launching the app, either from the home screen or from Camera.
I came from v3.1.2, full wipe, flash v4.1.3. I had a couple issues right off the bat (including this one), so I reflashed. After the reflash, this is the only problem I have left. When using the Camera, photos still save as they should, but Gallery is full-on retarded and doesn't find anything.
Besides the reflash, I've cleared both Media Storage and Gallery, with no consequence after a reboot. Anyone have any other ideas?

Go to stock and reflash?
I haven't seen this myself... but i would wipe again and flash. If that doesn't work you might have to go back to full stock and do a factory reset unfortunately.
Another thought... do you have a .nomedia folder at that folder?
Happened to me once after a base change. A restart fixed it.

Nope, no .nomedia in any of the folders Gallery should be pulling from. Everything worked OK with v3.1.2, so I'm not sure what broke.
I noticed one other guy in the SHOstock2 thread had this problem, but he never came back with a fix.
I'll get a nandroid and TB and trying going back to stock. Will it make a difference going to stock vs. stock + root? Do I need to revert the bootloader as well?

So I was having some issues with my S3. Boiled down to a factory data reset. Used TiBu to back everything up. For some reason decided to re-backup a game cause I wasn't sure if it had been initially. Used Astro for all of this. Had the new game backup on the internal, moved the whole folder (with just the game files in it) to the SD card and merged it with the similarly named folder on my SD card. Popped the SD card out, did the FDR. And here's where everything went wrong.
Firstly the message "Unfortunately, Messages has stopped working" appears every time I start my phone and the Messages app freezes the phone whenever opened, this has caused me to have to get a replacement phone. But the main issue was when I opened TiBu to restore, and none of my backups were there, nor were they on the card itself anymore.
Somehow they were deleted or corrupted or something when I merged the two folders. So I found a data recovery program which was able to find all of the "com.android" blah blah files from the back up. I restored a few of them to test it out, put them back on my phone, I can see them in Astro, but no app installer will detect them. Wtf?? So close...
I was devastated with this loss, so much data in there. So when this program was able to find it all again, a sparkle of hope appeared. Please tell me I'm just missing some crucial little step here, the files look exactly like the original backup files. Same size, combination of numbers, everything. Non-Market Installation is checked and I'm rooted on stock. Please someone be my savior!!
well..... you can go back completely to square one by flashing a stock firmware you can get them from sammobile.com
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
Hm, well your response is much appreciated. However, that's pretty much the exact opposite of what I want to do. I'm trying to restore .apk files that I can see in Astro but AppInstaller won't detect, not flash back to stock.
Thanks anyways...
I rooted my xperia x10 mini around a year ago, and all was fine. I recently unlocked the bootloader, and decided to try flashing a new rom and kernal as Sony refuse to do any further updates. I backed everything up on titanium back up, videos, contacts, apps etc. And also followed the instructions to do full back up when I flashed the new rom. I followed everything to the letter, but when the new rom was installed, I could find no contacts, music, apps or anything? I thought the best option was to use cwm and restore back? That looked as if it had gone ok, but there was a message at the end to say something? img? could not be found, and it didn't revert back, just hung at nAa screen, and would do nothing else.
After reading a few threads, I thought I'd go back to SE stock firmware - better than a dead phone! But although the sd card is showing all my back ups, including titanium back up, nothing is showing in the phone apps, or folders, all my contacts are missing, pictures, notes, everything :crying:
How do I get everything back to where it shoud be?? It may be a stupid question, but I hope you can offer some advice please.
The phone is rooted again. Thanks in advance from a newbie flasher
Did you restore your backup using Titanium again then?
The other way is to do advanced restore from CWM and choose data only.

Pictures are usually stored on the sd-card, so they won't get affected if you change your rom or kernel, not sure what happened with that, but the best way to get everything back would be to use CWM and choose advance restore to get your data back I suppose, it will restore everything that was on internal memory.
The reason you got stuck at the nAa-kernel logo when you restored from cwm previously is because you also restored your old rom, which doesn't run with the nAa-kernel.

It may be that just the thumbnails of those pictures are messed up, not the pictures itself. I would suggest copying your pictures to a folder on your computer, deleting them from sd-card and open the gallery, so it can update it's thumbnails (it will delete them all). If you then move back your pictures to your sd-card it will generate proper thumbnails again.
The txt-messages should be in your CWM-backup.
I don't know if you had CWM installed on your phone before you flashed the kernel, and what kernel you used when you made the backup. It can be a bit tricky if you tried JellyBean, but not impossible. I need a bit more information from you to be sure about how to go about that.

Hi. Yes, I installed CWM before hand, and did a complete back up, I used the miniCM7 robyn rom and the nAa-2.6.29.6-nAa 14 kernal. I had considered jelly bean, but thought I'd just start with this one, before working my way up! Someone suggested ST15i 4.2.0.A.62 but it didn't sound right for the X10mini? I only bought the phone 18 months ago, so its a shame there are no further updates.
I did try to restore through the advanced setting on cwm, but it didn't work, I had the same message as before about something being missing.
I noticed another thread about a similar problem, a mismatch between numbers?? Not too sure, but it sounded similar to the problem I had.
At least I have back most of my pictures Thanks for your help.

hmm, it sounds almost like your sd-card is experiencing some problems, maybe you could copy the whole thing to your computer and reformat it. but i don't think the backup will be valid anymore.
The number mismatch is the md5-checksum, The backup calculates a number when the backup is created, which is stored alongside your backup.
The restore function then uses the same method to create a checksum from the backup-file and compare it to the number created when the backup was made. If they don't match, the most likely option is a corrupt backup file, which is a pain.
And no, the st15 is the 2011 xperia mini i think, you better stick with E10-kernels and robyn-ROMS for the x10mini (if it doesn't have a hardware keyboard)
