in twrp recovery there should be an option called "factory reset" it wipes all user data, but first do a backup always in twrp if something goes wrong

Hello
my friend changed his password to the phone, but of course he forgot it..
I thougt that a wipe and a new rom could do it.
I've struggled with it a long time now..
I can flash cwm recovery - ok
I have tried du download a ICS stock rom, and flashed it with odin. it gets stuck at the samsung logo.
Then i tried to flash a Gingerbread stock rom. then i asks for the code again.
I flashed a new .PIT-file
When I flash the gingerbread rom, it still have the same background as before.
My question is how to I get rid of ALL data on the phone? internal sd-card and so?
some data must have survied the data wipe/dalvik wipe in CWM
what to do?
There is no ext. sd-card
phone is af gt-i9100 intl. version

when the ICS stock rom gets stuck at the samsung logo :
* Boot into recovery mode to do this press and hold Home + Volume UP + Power and your mobile phone will boot into recovery.
* From the recovery screen, Go to Factory Reset and Wipe cache one-by-one and confirm both.
* Now, Go back and select “reboot system now”.
hello
thank you for your answer, but i've tried that.
but how can it be, that the phone remembers the password and backgroun, even after a wipe?

data wipe means that the user-data is deleted
I think that device passwords are saved with the system-data
you should - 'format system', that should do it.
good luck.

No. Password is stored in /data/system/.

This was my first time i bought a Huawei phone and I accidental deleted built.prop. I think so.... Its with locked bootloader and i really dont know what to do as its a new phone. There is no recover out there. Please help me out. :crying:
Do you have a custom recovery installed? If so, perform a factory reset
Edit scratch that, you don't even need a custom recovery, just perform a factory reset in the stock recovery

Curious as to why you think that would work? build.prop is in /system. A factory reset won't bring that back.
Without the original firmware and a locked bootloader, there isn't much you can do...
Ok, I've flashed a few ROMS Before using different recoverys, etc etc. I was attempting to install the VIPER ROM which requires you to install their "custom" recovery. So i did and rebooted my phone into recovery preparing to install the rom.zip from my SD Card. BUT for some reason it wouldn't read any downloads in my SD & when i went to restore my backup..... it wasn't reading anything there. SO, last night i attempted to remove the "CUSTOM" recovery and restore TWRP..... I removed the "cUSTOM" recovery successfully.... NOw i have a phone with a bootloader(unlocked of course) and NO OS, NO RECOVERY. I've been told to perform a hard factory reset by my friend, but when i attempt to do that it just goes to the HTC quietly brilliant screen, and stays. I was attempting to perform the factory reset through the adb command prompt but i have almost no experience with that method and couldn't find a post about a problem quite like mine. (SORRY if there is and it was overlooked, a bit stressed) I NEED HELP ON WHAT I SHOULD DO....
A. I dont know how to do a HARD factory reset now without using bootloader.
B. DO i have to reset it? Would an RUU work?
C. IS there another way to restory TWRP & My old backups or another custom ROM without LOSING my pictures/music/videos???

A- You can not reset because there no OS what will you reset in a phone without OS
B- If your phone is S-off then you sure you can run RUU.
C-IF you have created the nandroid backup then sure you can backup flash the recovery from which you have made the backup and restore it, and don't factory reset you will lose all your pic.

You should be able to flash a custom recovery from the bootloader. After that, if you cannot access your recoveries, then you should be able to sideload a ROM directly from your computer via ADB.
Good luck!
Hello everyone, I hope you can help me on this one since I'm already panicking.:
I have a Galaxy S3 international version, with Android 4.2.2, rooted, Philz recovery.
Wanted to flash a custom ROM, backed up EFS folder and data. Only thing missing was doing a NANDROID backup. Did the NANDROID backup to sdcard and rebooted....and now device won't start; it's stuck on the "SAMSUNG" logo. , WHAT THE HELL DID I WRONG?
I haven't formated anything or handled any system folders or anything. Just went , like in previous android phones, to recovery, made backup and rebooted. Any ideas? many thanks!

If its stuck in a bootloop factory reset and wipe cache in recovery.If that does not work install your backup and lastly if that doesn't work flash stock with odin.
Always remember the first thing to try whenever you are stuck in a bootloop is to factory reset wipe cache in recovery.

I did a full wipe and cache wipe and everything back to normal. What puzzles me is what was it that put the phone in a bootloop?

Good question but unfortunately I've not got a definite answer for you.Some times it is files leftover from a flash but no matter how experienced you are at flashing, bootloops are just one of those things you have to get used to.[emoji1]

So i was rooted and tried to factory reset (big mistake) and that worked and all but i wanted to make sure all my files were erased. I used to twrp and used the advanced wipe, but i clicked the wrong one and now i have no os. Trying to dig myself out of the hole i flashed a new OS, then for some random reason it didn't flash and no i cant access my recovery. Any help would be appreciated.

Fastboot erase cache, then flash TWRP again via fastboot.
