How do i wipe the data and basically factory reset my YP-GI1 device?
Should be in settigns, search around for it. Also, if you have ClockWorkMod flashed onto your device, then go into it, and do a factory reset and it will do just that.

Can you factory reset after rooting your Samsung Galaxy 10.1 tab?
Thanks for any insight on this issue.
I want to keep the root. just need to reset to factory specs.
Yes. Go to Settings>Privacy> and then select "Factory Data Reset" This will reset all settings and delete all of your data on the device. If you need a more serious reset than that, you will need to either clear data via clockworkmod recovery or re-flash via ODIN. (Warning: Reflashing with ODIN will remove your root and return you to stock.) If you just want to reset to factory settings and wipe your data, the "Factory Data Reset" will do what you need. Good luck.
The factory reset worked without incident. Only thing that didn't erase was the pictures that I took with the built in camera. I was having trouble with a push ad. Finally figured out what which app it was. Thanks for the help
Hello, if i do a reset inside the OS, will this wipe and delete the cache same way as a hard reset with the physical buttons?
Yes. But both do not only delete the cache but everything on your phone's internal storage.
It's noteworthy that CWM (the alternative Recovery) keeps the /sdcard folder intact

So if i understand this right, both ways, like, the usual inside the android OS itself, on the S3, or the reset trough physical buttons, both delete the cache aswell?
can someone please explain a full wipe - when asked in a rom thread that you need to do a full wipe. what is that?
do you do it in CWM only, no where else?
- wipe data/factory reset then
- wipe cache partition then
- wipe dalvick cache
that's it? that's considered a full wipe? because I was reading and something said if coming over to xxxx rom from aokp do a full wipe.
tbh I've already changed roms but I hard bricked my last phone not knowing things like this. lol
thanks

Yes that is a full wipe, but "wipe data/factory reset" is enough, no need for the other two.
Also if you just flash a wrong rom, I doubt your last phone is hard bricked. You can donate it to me.
thanks for the answer.
with my galaxy note I installed a stock ss firmware via odin, installed CWM and then flashed aosp without wiping or anything. phone couldn't get into recovery, download or turn on. jigs didn't work and a shop also couldn't get it back into download or recovery.
so no signs of life, I've already sent it overseas for warranty, sorry mate
I ended up getting an s3 till note2 comes out. but I heard the note2 will only have 512mbs of more ram than the s3, and it won't be quadcore. if these are true I'll probably torch all my samsung devices and get apple products -_-
Okay, so I had a stock Note 2 fully updated software or whatever (if you go into 'Settings' then 'About phone' the 'Software update' part). I followed section 1a instructions (10 steps): http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2024207 and then this one for WIndows: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2118348 (I just followed the video instructions) and everything seemed to work out fine and I got Team Win Recovery.
But when I did a factory reset in Team Win recovery, the phone did not boot up at all and I had to use Odin to install Root66 stock VRALJB 4.1.1 12/2/12 like I did in the first set of instructions I did in order for my phone to boot up again.
Is this normal/supposed to happen?
... Why did you factory reset at all? There was no reason to unless you were installing a rom. You made two errors back to back. Doesn't root 66 relock the bootloader? I don't even know what to suggest you do. Don't mod your phone till you read more. If you don't learn this stuff you will have a very expensive brick dude

Factory reset wiping from within the phone software is totally different from factory wiping from within recovery and not to be confused with one another.
doing a format wipe from within twrp could be compared to format c: at a dos command prompt. Once you reboot there is no OS in the phone

I'm pretty sure you are mistaken. I have factory reset with TWRP plenty of times and it does not format the system partition. So, my bet is either he had a bugged TWRP or he accidently went to Wipe-->System instead of factory reset. Factory reset should just wipe data and cache.
Later,

But my SGS2 is not a rooted phone. Is it necessary to get into recovery mood for that specific factory reset, I used android settings option of factory reset but still it has restarted
A clean wipe and fresh install usually solves the problem (unless its a ROM specific issue)
Use this : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2100558
Then reflash your JB OS.

He probably doesnt need this.
Just boot into recovery and perform a full wipe. You dont need cwm, just use the stock recovery.

Lennyz am bit new and noob to these things. Please guide me how to boot into recovery?? with a detailed procedure. How full wiping is different from factory reset?
If you are new, then read, search and learn on the forums. You will find plenty information about what the stock recovery is and what it does.
Full wiping can be the same as a factory reset. Full wipe usally stands for wipe data/factory reset.

I did factory reset many times, I even changed the firmware aswell but its still restarting :'(
Finally Decided to downgrade
Since I update my phone to jelly bean I am suffering from forced restarts. I wiped the data with factory reset and installed other firmwares as well. I posted this question on most of the forums and due to insufficient help and no proper solution to this now I have finally decided to go back to ICS or Ginger Bread because they were atleast stable.. :crying:
Though I loved the new Jelly Bean interface
[Disappointed]
I have a question that must be obvious to many but I don't know the answer and am curious.
Right now I am rooted and if I want to install a new rom I do the factory reset and wipe caches in recovery and then install the custom rom.
What happens if
1. I do this reset and clear caches within recovery and just reboot without installing a rom?
2. What happens if I do a factory reset with settings?
I know the phone will start in setup mode but will it have the last rom I installed or what?
If you're wiping system too, then the phone won't boot - except to recovery if you tell it to. If you're not wiping system but you're wiping data, then the phone will boot but be like you just installed it new for the first time and you have to set it up.
I'm not positive what Factory Reset within settings will do, if it works or not, when you have a custom recovery installed. Normally under a completely stock ROM with stock recovery, Factory Reset from Settings or from the stock recovery would wipe everything but system. It wipes Data, Cache, Dalvik, and internal storage. You can achieve the same thing from custom recovery if you wish to. And yes, as long as you didn't wipe System, the last ROM you had installed would boot.
Doing a factory reset from settings with twrp installed should be like doing a factory reset in twrp. TWRP will takeover when the phone restarts to do the factory reset. At least that is how it was with my Moto X phones. I've done it with Jasmine on my G3, but don't remember the outcome. It was only a few days ago too. Lol. I'm a retard.
