[Q] Internal memory not getting wiped - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
Friends i need your help really badly.
I have a Samsung Galaxy SL I9003 smart phone running stock 2.3.4.
Problem is that i have few applications and these applications keep giving me fore close errors.
I tried connecting my mobile with my pc and format the internal storage. It gets cleared too. But as soon as i remove the device and re-connect it with my pc all the files/folders come back as they were before formatting.
I tried to Wipe Data, Cache and Dalvik cache and install various versions for custom roms. But all of these roms result in boot loop.
I am not a noob and i have tried almost everything to get it to boot. But the only rom that works is the stock 2.3.4. and that too does not start properly.
And as per my guesses it is the internal memory that is not letting my phone run normally.
Kindly help !!
Thank you.

Insufficient Storage?

Hi all,
i know this question has been posted many times but it didn't really help for me. I've flash my phone to 2.3.4 and root it with CF-ROOT. I checked my phone storage and internal memory is still left with 700+M.
However when i install apps by running APK or installing them from market, it keeps prompting that there is insufficient storage.
Its definately not any issue with the market because i used the new market and the old one and even running apk direct, it still gives me the same problem.
Is there a hard limit in the phone that sets some memory for internal use thus i can't use the 700M left?
Not my device (I'm running an original Fascinate with custom ROM), but have you tried booting into recovery and wiping the Dalvik Cache?
Once you do this and reboot the device, it will take a few minutes to reach the main screen as the cache has to be rebuilt.
It worked for me, though I had to wipe the darn thing several times as I was reinstalling all my apps.
Hope this helps,
Wook

[Q] (Q) Weird issue with galaxy s internal sd memory

I had problems with my galaxy S, which was running on official 2.3.6
I decided to wipe everything clean and install a custom rom
But during the process, I've come across a weird weird problem
I started to get UIDs system error and was asking me to wipe data partition to use the phone
so I tried to wipe all the partitions
I have tried wiping int sd card via phone -> didn't work
I have tried wiping via cwm -> didn't work
I have tried wiping & re-partition via odin + reinstall -> didn't work
I have physically deleted contents from int sd while connected via USB -> didn't work
I have formatted the removable disk (int sd) while connected via USB -> didn't work
what I mean by didn't work is, the next time I reboot, I find that all the contents in my phone comes back alive...
I don't know what I can do to fix this problem
I can install new mods fine, but due to the fact that old system files and apps are present together, which didn't get wiped, and causes clashes and my phone won't work as it starts up... I really don't know how I can fix this problem and wipe my phone clean to "resurrect" it..
please help me if you know solution to this problem
This really sounds weired.....
You should download sd maid for root users (search for the paid version)
There you have many options for finding odd data on your sdcard and internal phone storage
you can delete files
sd maid makes you find some dead apps wich make your problems
give me a feedback if it works..or not
stay well

hey thanks for the suggestion, but at the moment, I can't use the phone at all because all my basics apps and system apps clashes on boot up, no matter what I flash on to my phone, hence basically it won't start up.. so I can't use any apps infact the phone itself
Only thing I can do is via CWM recovery mode, or via odin
If you know how to deal with this problem via that way, it will be great~

[Q] Internal memory 100% full after trying out more ROMs

Hey there!
I found myself in a small pickle today.
I tried out a few roms on my motorola defy plus, and as of today I have absolultely no space on internal memory, although it is supposed to be 1GB in size.
I'm thinking that this happened, because every time I tried out a new rom, I installed all the applications I use all over again.
I tried clearing the cache, the Dalvik cache from recovery, but it didn't help at all.
In this way I am unable to install any aplications whatsoever, whenever I try to open the Market, the phone hangs for a while and then reboots, actually whatever I do with it, it reboots, for example opening the contact manager, trying to manage the apps and so on.
Any ideas?
Thank you!
Perform a factory reset
before installing new rom.
Thank you for your reply, but unfortunatelly it doesn't work.
Any other ideas?
It really seems odd, because the du -hd1 command from terminal doesn't show what is that big. It shows 2.4 GB, from which the memory card is 2.1 GB located in the /mnt folder.
Is there any way that I can wipe all data from the phone?
AW: [Q] Internal memory 100% full after trying out more ROMs
Cwm has the option to clean up the SD card or under the android settings. Maybe every before and after the flashing process backups of your system?
I THINK U WIPE EVERYTHING using(EXCEPT RECOVERY)
ADT.......
THEN FLASH A NEW ROM
HIT THANKS IF HELPED.....

Galaxy S2 internal memory damaged

Hi all,
Although I have read xda forums quite a few times, this is my first post here, and my reason for posting is that I really don't have a clue how to proceed with my Galaxy S2.
The story is the following: I was going to sell my old Samsung Galaxy S2, so I decided to delete all data from it in a way that it is not recover friendly. After seeing that a factory reset would not delete the internal memory completely, I was worried about the new owner being able to read my ersonal information, so I plugged in the phone USB to the Mac as Mass Storage and went to disk utility in Mac and performed a formatting of the phone partition(FAT32). When I rebooted the phone it would not work properly, messages like "Usb storage damaged" and most apps would not work, like camera, file manager and so on. I assumed I deleted important system files when formatting so I went to CWM based recovery and transferred the initial content of the internal memory (previously backed up) back to the phone's memory, in an attemp to put things back to normal.
Nothing has changed and the phone is not able to read that memory. I tried many options from the CWM recovery mode but nothing seems to work. I tried reformatting USB storage from the phone options, factory and cache reset from CWM....
The Android version is 4.1.2, Model GT I9100, Kernel 3.0.31 Siyah s2 v6.0b5+
I have also tried to install a different custom ROM but that does not fix the problem either.
So my question is: Is there anything I can do to restore a recognizable file system into the internal memory?
Thank you so much,
Problem solved. After flashing with ODIN the phone repaired itself performing a USB storage format from the device.
