I bought a S620 on Ebay and it arrived yesterday with some info still on it and I want to reset the phone.
I have read the online user guide and it says to go into 'Expert' and there should be a 'Clear Storage' icon, that icon is missing. Is there a hidden security measure that will bring that icon back.
Is there any other way to clear all the storage, I am very new to this phone so its all a bit new to me and I hope someone can help.
Thanks for your time in advance
you need to check if rom version is original or no,i think that have to be wm6.0, if you flash you s620 with kavana-ricky rom version wm6.1, that you can find in this forum with all instruccion you will clean all your s620(excalibur)
good luck
ps. when i coming to this site i had to read a lot, but you will find a lot of people that will help you and other that no it is normal in this site, go ahead

Yes. It's called a "hard reset". Do a search on Google or in the forum search.
Hello
Go to:
Accessories - Clear Storage - note 1234 - yes

It does not seem to have an accessories icon either so that form of hard reset is not possible either, I think it was set up to a certain corporate program and I can't seem to get it back to normal

if you want to hard reset it, just press and hold left and right soft key then press power button for 2 seconds, still holding the soft key white screen will appear then press the call or green button.

Dont take the battery out!
This is what is causing you to lose all your data. All the data on your xdaIIs is sored in RAM not ROM. Which means that as soon as hte battery runs flat or you take the battery out the phone loses all your data.
The backup battery does empty very quick once you take out your battery, so dont do it. Just use the soft reset button on the bottom of the device to perform a reset if it crashes. Dont hold the power button whilst pressing the soft reset button at the bottom as this would also cause you to lose all your data.
Upgrade to the latest rom. Look in the WIKI for instructions.
ok thx...but may i know what is "wiki instruction"?...
and how to upgrade the rom to be latest? u mean the "drver" or change to be a newest rom for my xda? sorry for so many question..!
and i heard that if i installed spb..it will make xda iis always slow and freeze or hard reset alwasy...is it true?
OK I think I just did a stupid thing!
I thought that a Radio only upgrade didn't require a Hard Reset (i.e. to Factory defaults and losing all your local data / program installs).
So I went from 1.09 to 1.11, hit the 'reset' button on completion and the stupid thing did a hard reset!
So where did I go wrong - well I think it is because I did the radio upgrade as a standard upgrade just by running the normal update files with only the new radio ROM file present and no other ROM files.
What I didn't do was to enter the BootLoader manually first I left it all up to the RUU files to do the job :roll:
Is it this (not manually entering the bootloader first - like the Wiki tells you to - mind you it also tells you to hard reset) which caused the hard reset which was beyond my control :?:
I'm sure I've changed the Radio ROM only on my old BA without all this hassle - just can't remember what I did differently.
From what I remember, you are supposed to press the reset pin hole while pushing down on the ON/OFF button. This would cause it to soft reset according to the on-screen instructions, and it did on mine when I tried it. But of course, I also performed a backup to be on the safe side.
Really not my day today - Whilst reinstalling and going through reset cycles my Exec turned into a brick :shock:
Stuck at boot-screen with ROM versions showing
Hopefully the Wiki resolution to this one is going to work..
Ever wish you'd just left the thing alone
Whenever I've done a radio upgrade, I've simply pressed the reset button with the tip of the stylus - that's it.
I've done about 6 up/downgrades, I would guess, and not had any problems. I hope you get yours sorted out.
Cheers,
Steve.

Did you upgrade whilst in the bootloader or just from WM5 running normally?

WM5 running normally - to be fair, it sometimes took a few attempts for the upgrade to "take", but once it was going, I've had no problems - glad to hear you manage to de-brick it.

Anyone had to reset their XDA Orbit?
I had a nightmare when using IGO2006 GS software, with it wiping some boot OS files and leaving it with a whitescreen on bootup (WSOD). Had to reset (did a few times after testing IGO), but just wondered if there is a consequence to resetting the Orbit.
One thing I now notice is that during boot sequence between first blue screen to the second green windows logo there is a white screen flash for half a second. Cant remember if this was there from new?
Thoughts?
Jez
That was normal with my orbit too - then i did a hard reset - soft reset before the o2 extras installed and now it boots faster, i have more program memory and no white flash. I thought it was unusual too but its due to those o2 plugins. btw o2 settings are still kept without the o2 extras.

Sorry Mark, confused, the O2 extras get installed on hard reset anyway dont they? it ran an O2.cab first boot after the reset....not sure if you are saying yours is faster before the hard reset or after ?

They install just as the hard reset is finishing - with a 3 sec timer - place stylus in soft reset hole before timer expires and the extras wont install.
Mine is faster after the hard reset i.e. without the extras.

I dont get any white screens flicker at all - its the same as my wizard but the boot time is MUCH faster - overclocking helps this.
I have not installed any of o2 plus - it is no use to me - i have better profiler etc.. The components of o2 plus can be broken down so if you just wanted one bit - a new cab can be made.

Sorry to be a pain, last question (i think), if I reset again I would first like a simple way to restore all my connection settings - is there a connections/wireless/msg settings backup tool to do this?

There are a number of vodafone settings cabs on the forum - but if i was you just to be safe i would write down your settings before doing the reset. How did you get the settings in the first place? and no bother i am cruising and sorting out the forum.

This is the o2 extra stuff - all in the external rom - ftp://[email protected].com/Up...OMs/O2_Orbit_UK_1.25.206.101_extended_rom.zip
Download it and keep it safe.
It also contains the o2 dialer - i prefer the stock one, the o2 web page, the o2 tray, the only good thing is the o2 theme! lol

First I would say bad idea blaming your wife in print. That only spells trouble for you later.
I would say take the SD card out, place a CDMA-based ROM on it, put it back in, go into bootloader, and reflash from the card. NRG doesn't cook radio's into his ROMS so you should be good with just an OS flash.
And just in case you don't know how to flash from SD.
1. Unplug USB cable (not necessary, but KISS)
2. With the phone off, press and hold the vol down rocker then press the power button
3. You'll see the rainbow boot-up, then from there just follow the commands on the screen.
4. After is says Upgrade complete (or something similar, it'll be white text in a blue box in the middle of the screen), press the reset button.
Voila.
Hope this helps.

You are lucky you only temporarily lost the phone. Other people have worse experiences.
That aside it is easy to fix as mentioned above just put the cdma rom nbh file on the root of sd card and make sure it is called RHODIMG.nbh and then enter into boot loader. The rom will install automatically and you will have your phone restored

Well, I agree with this causing problems... I was so desperate I wasn't thinking!!! BIGGER MISTAKE!!!
Regarding your instructions it was just perfect, I actually struggled about 3 more hours and none of the ROMs I had/downloaded were working, I thought I really screwed bad... after some more search I found what was happening! The MicroSD card that came with the phone is formated FAT and not FAT32, therefore everytime I was trying it wasn't finding the ROM...
Anyway, all is working now, thanks a lot for the quick response yesterday!
Guys, you're so funny, and helpful too!
I better don't go into details of what she was doing...
I'll do my homework next time, tks for all help!
Hi,
I have a galaxy note 2014 edition that has retail mode on, it was a demo ex. Is there anyway to remove this from the device? Maybe through factory reset with stock firmware or something? Have no idea how to do a factory reset with stock firmware if that works.

Hi,
To do a factory reset: Switch off the tablet.
Then power it up by pressing simultaneously and holding : Volume up + Home + Power
When in Recovery mode move the cursor with the volume key and execute with the power key.
Select Factory reset and execute it.

Hi,
OK, the first thing to know is which device you have: Sm-P600/601/605 ??
Then to know which ROM is installed on the tablet ?
If you can go to setting : then scroll down to "About the phone" you should see the version of the ROM.
With that you go to sammobile
You put your device type and you will get all the stock ROM's
You click on the one you want and on the next windows you will have the URL to download and the way to install it.
To be able to download the ROM you have to register on this site but it's free of charge !!

I tried that site but canceled it cause it said it will take 15h to download the firmware.
You can try from HERE
But I am not sure it will be any faster.
Those ROM's are quite big > 1.xx Gb so if your internet connection is slow it's take time.

One more question, I can´t seem to set some kind of password for the lockscreen since the lock screen option is gone in some way. It says something about Knox but what is that?
Can i add some other app that handles the lock screen?
About Knox: it's some kind of security introduced by Samsung some months ago, a real pain in the back..
Have a look HERE (for example) for more details.
Yes you can install applications w/o problem.
Knox will only get involved when you start playing with the ROM's, Bootloader etc ..
Hi
Hello guys, I have an Galaxy S6 Edge Demo version, I want to know if I change the motherboard with another with GSM function, it will work fine ?
The digital finger print doesn't work, I have to change the button or how can I fix this ?
And another thing, in the background of display, you can barely notice a text, this : Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge, this thing is from display or motherboard ? Because I want to know, if I change the motherboard, it will dissapear that text ?
Thank you.
I would like to remove the starting screen ''Live demo unit'' on SM-T800X tablet to the stock one, and after flashing I have got the demo pieces of text in the bottom of the screen.
I tried to re-partition the install with ODIN and used a PIT file but no changes. Anybody can help with this problem please ? Is there any solution to change the demo unit to look as a stock SM-T800 ?
Also if there any solution to change KNOX value to 0 would be great.
