I have not been able to turn on my wifi after using ICS for few months and tired to fix the issue by reflashing the ROM. Tried many different version including customized one but did not help. Sent it in to Samsung for servicing and told them that re-flashing the ROM does not help hoping to get a HW replacement. Was told that the way they do it is different and they can wipe everything clean before re-loading the ROM. Btw using customized ROM did not void the warranty.
I suspect they did a low level format of the device. Now the wifi is dead again. Clearing data and cache using CWM does not help. Does anyone know what other way can I try to wipe the device storage?

EMP?
The SC people use Odin too. I saw it in a SC. They simply format your phone memory, do a factory wipe, and flash the correct firmware keeping the Auto reboot option unchecked.
AFAIK I don't think there is a low level format for S2..

Is there any way to reset the phone completely, to be just like when i got it the first time? I have flashed hell of a lot of roms on it and now i would like to wipe the slate clean. Is there any way to do it? I know about factory reset. Is it enough for wiping the slate clean.
I don't know much about the software behind the processes and i would like to know if the phone is being damaged everytime i flash a new rom? And would flashing the stock rom reset all the system files?
And i confess, I am a noob. I would be happy if someone can point me in the right direction.
From what I understand if you wipe data, cache and dalik cache in cwr and flash the stock rom it souls be to wen you got it if you want more peace of mind flash it to a earlier rom and do I upgrade using your phones software program to the latest software there is no damage done, the only thing (well on my type of phone atleast) it might have a glad counter which tells hoe many times its bin flashed but I think that can be reset with a USB jig

Flash your carrier's offical rom from here via ODIN. Wipe data first.

Then you can use usb jib(if original was GB) or Chainfire's Triange away from Market to reset the counter.

Now my head i about to explode
Anyhow, I have an annoying problem.
Before the upgrade to XXALF6 I noticed no problem other than the known drainage of the battery in idle mode.
I rooted and flashed a ROM and it was ok.
But I got sick of the ROM and I hard reset the phone.
No problems.
Then I upgraded to XXALF6 - still unrooted and all.
First thing I notice is that the phone is lagging a bit now and then. Then when I sent and recieved an SMS or two the phone hung and rebooted.
I seems that happend because when vibration was active.
Also there was a new message saying "com.google.process.gapps" stopped working. And that came up again and again.
As far as I could find online that had to do with syncing the calendar and it should help to clear calendar cache in the phone. It did not.
Then I rooted the phone, just "CF-Root-SGS3-v6.4", no other ROM.
Now the problem was even worse and also the sound stops working on and off all the time.
I tried to find the "com.google.process.gapps" with a file explorer with no luck.
I do find it in ROM Toolbox but its not possible to see the where on the phone the file is even there. Also its not possible to uninstall or even kill the process.
I did notice there seem to be doubles of some apps that I didnt notice previously to flashing CF-Root this time.
And I recall the new guide never mentions to wipe any phone data whatsoever during rooting the phone, and now I am thinking that maybe that should have been in the guide?
Anyhow.. appreciate ANY tips at all, Im so sick of this for the moment ^^
Go to cwm recovery, wipe cash, wipe dalvik cash, wipe data/factory reset, then go to mounts&storage, format system. Then put your phone into the download mode and flash ROM again with odin. This should give you a nice and clean install,without any force closes..

I did wipe all things, cache, Dalvik, battery and user data with CWM.
At the moment it seems the phone is quite okay actually! The only thing left is SU.
U think I have to format system as well? What else would really be "cleaned" out that wasn't allready with the wipes?
Trust me,some of the devs insisted on formating system before flashing their custom roms,and I did have a bunch of force closes,until I decided to go their way and fully format the phone. It then installs everything from the scratch,so there's no way anything to go wrong.. give it a try,and report back... btw. make sure that you DO NOT restore any of the system data,if you use TB

Yeah I pretty much learnt same way as predja it is always better to do full system wipe, it is not always necessary with some roms but if you do it you won't come across the problems you have as often.

Looking for a little help please.
Trying to return to stock and I have flashed 2 different stock roms from samfirmware, nd each time when booted it tells me messenger has stopped working.
If I open the app it force closes.
Any idea what might be causing this? I need it back to stock ASAP as I am selling the phone.
It's starting to give me a real headache at the moment
Thanks in advance

Re root your device with cfroot. Before flashing back to stock run triangle away and then go into cwm, wipe factory reset and then go to mounts and storage and format system and then data. Go to advance clear dalvik cache and then go into download mode and flash stock again. This should help,I flagged back to stock following this procedure today and it worked a charm.

i did a factory reset but not sure if it all went through properly. gonna root and triangle away now and report back. thanks guys
sounds like it you didn't wipe data/cache!
I've gotten that error many times also. It has nothing to do with the wipe. Just install the same ROM over again. Installing again take care of it. Good luck!
I have a galaxy note i717, i root and instal several rom, but i have a serious lag, when i press any option like try make call the phone not respond or take more dan 50 second to respond,
I make several procedure like change rom
Wipe everyting and wipe the internal sd
I unroot and instal back the original att stock rom but steal the problem
PLEASE HELP
Sorry for my bad english

Thats really odd... are you sure you are doing a full wipe when you install those ROMs? Flashing a fresh ROM should just about clear anything left on the phone I dont understand how a fresh ROM could be laggy.
Possibly hardware issues?
Yes im sure i do male a full wipe, even system, really wear,
Sent from my LG-P999
Are you also wiping data. So when your phone boots .... You are having to re enter your information? Also what rom are you currently flashing?

Do you have, or can you install an app like "system tuner" that can tell you how your phone is performing? Like are both cpu's running and so forth?

I had this issue once, drove me nuts until I realized the problem was the modem.
Hello everybody, I don't like to bother people asking for help, but this time I really don't know how to fix this on my own...
I bought and S3 (International 32GB) Oct. 2012 after 4.1.2 update I started to notice that the phone became slow but it was acceptable my SD card was full of junk. But during last 6 months the phone got REALLY slow! I tried flashing many roms: Omega, Wanam, MIUI and other stock based roms, I also tried to revert it to stock, but nothing changed.
A friend of mine told me that i should format EVERY partition in order to clean up all the remaining files from previous roms/kernels but I really don't know how to do it or what is needed.
Any help would be very appreciated, I really can't stand it anymore...
Thank you =)
Remove the external sd card, format /data/media in custom recovery then factory reset.
Flash the latest 4.3 full stock firmware for your country with Odin, then boot into stock recovery and factory reset again.
Allow the phone to boot several times before you install or restore anything. If the phone is still slow then you might have nand memory errors.

Thank you, I'll try tomorrow and see if it works. But if it's a nand memory error how can be fixed?
It can't, freezes are the operating system marking and avoiding bad blocks.
