Samsung Galaxy Gt I9000 Hard Reset

TMW597 · Jul 31, 2010

I am looking for a definitive mode to COMPLETELY wipe a Samsung Galaxy S GT-I9000. I mean the equivalent of doing a total factory restore on a PC. I've noticed that no thing how many times I wink or manufacturing plant reset that there are all the same remnants that remain. Files like the license for Titanium Fill-in, or merely miscellaneous files. Is there a way to completely wipe the SD menu clean commencement, then do a fresh wink? I actually would like to know that the SD carte du jour is completely clean since I've flashed iii-5 different versions of firmware and non one has been stable. I just want a real fresh slate.

Delight advise.

Thank you.

If you have an sd card you have to reformat that as well.

This will non format internal SD. After "factory data reset" y'all'll need at to the lowest degree to format this i as well.

Sounds like the OP wants to return the phone

TMW597

Ha, ha. Not fifty-fifty! This is the best phone I've owned to date when it'due south working properly. I am tired though of information technology crashing on me. I'll detect I'm not getting calls or e-mail, so I bank check information technology and the phone has shut off. I'thou also tired of flashing it every week, and spending days trying to get it back to the state I like it. (I wish there were better cloning apps that saved ALL of the settings including how y'all have the dwelling screens set up, and all system preferences. It sucks having to reconfigure 10 email accounts, amid other things.) I'm thinking if I can wipe it and start totally fresh it will help.

Glad to hear that, that's the spirit!

it just that recently we've been getting quite a few anti SGS fans in the mix, and many people are returning their phones.

TMW597

Yeah, I have no intention of sending back my SGS. The good far outweighs the short listing of negative items; those just being lack of flash and a poor battery life.

I merely want a stable arrangement! I'm going to continue searching for a gear up.

all-time manner is odin

do the total odin re-partition with pit
then flash the three files.

but you will nonetheless need to go into recovery and format the internal sd as pictures will still exist safe on the internal sd.

What if you mount the phone as a storage device and "rm -rf" the sd-card(s) ?
Windows users could use cygwin...

You may attempt rebooting your phone and while rebooting holding volume upwards, home, and power until yous enter the factory menu fashion. From at that place select "Format internal SD". That may be what you're looking for?

Really the easies fashion to wipe data off the telephone is to do the following:
settings\Sd card and phone storage\Format sd card
Promise that this helps!

Same problem in wiping Galaxy Tab

Hi,

I am also completely unable to wipe it properly. downloaded apps (like amazon shopper) remain and function even afterward formatting internal SD storage, and wiping information technology similar 10 times.

Very disappointing.

Any suggestions more than welcome.

Thanks.

as mentioned above.

kick into recovery > mounts and storage > format system / cache / information / datadata/ sd menu.
also do a manufactory reset, then wipe the dalvik cache.

wink rom thru odin with all 3 files and PIT

that will leave phone completely EMPTY

theoscat

i thought the factory reset in the CWM should be fine

flash rom thru odin with all 3 files and PIT

I take done that with the telephone and its really empty cause it wont even commencement haha and then what practise i do now? how tin i install somethin on it?

Personally I copy everything from my internal sd card on my pc into a samsung folder with that days date.

Then I so delete everything off the internal sd card.

From there I boot into recovery & format sd card. So I practise a factory reset, articulate cache, clear dalvik enshroud and thats it. Everything gone. Now at least if I detect at that place is something I need missing I have it prepare on my pc.

This saved me when I flashed an ICS Rom & lost my IMEI number. At that place it was sitting on my pc gear up to go.

If you have flashed with Odin using the 3 files & the pit file with re-sectionalization checked I've found that I often finish up with the phone not starting. Commonly a 2nd flash with the 3 files without the PIT file and re-sectionalization unchecked and my phone is and then fine.
