How Do You Fully Wipe this Phone? - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

I do not see this option in any of the settings menu to fully wipe this device and people have said not to do it in CWM.

You can wipe through bootloader.
Go into the stock recovery and push Volume Up + Power, a menu will come up that will let you do a factory reset.
So just clear storage in stock recovery

Cleared data and nothing. Tried uninstalling updates and nothing either. I get the error for flash, gmail and maps

Clear data in the market then fix permissions in recovery. Then uninstall and reinstall Gmail.

Worse case scenario, reflash the rom. If problem persists it could be a bad zip... Hope it solves your problem.

No shut down lag for me, just the rotation doesn't work neither from settings or from from control

Are you guys making sure you're using the cache wipe and super wipe scripts, and not doing anything within the recovery menus? Backup and reboot are the only 2 recovery options that should be used.

If you use TWRP recovery you can wipe from recovery. I have been using this recovery for almost 2 weeks. I have flashed both ICS leaks CM9 and AOKP without issues aside from known bugs.

[Novice] Question about wiping??

So when i flash any ROMs i always do the instructed wiping before anything else but I've come across some ROMs that instruct that you wipe the system? What gets erased when you do so?

The system folder. Use es file explorer and go up to root directory to see for yourself. It has apps, data and many other things.

So it pretty much keeps record/history of everything you do/install while in recovery mode?

Okay I see what your taking about now. So how do I wipe system when I'm in recovery?

That doesn't even do it. Just user data. Still has any kernel/ROM/system mods.
Clean slate would be to flash stock ROM using Odin.
