Hello Everyone!
Quick question, I was reading the KFFB and all that, but couldnt find an answer that pertained to my situation.
I decided to sell my KF which is currently running cm9. The person I am selling it to wants it to continue to have cm9, but I need to clearly, remove all my data from it.
If i perform a factory reset within the Rom, am I going to lose the Gapps, market, or anything like that? Is there a quick way to wipe the sd card and data from the KF without any additional risk?
I was hoping to maybe just use the in rom wipe function instead of TWRP, I figured that might work flawlessly.
Thanks in advance,
-Junt
Edit: I am running cm9 reloaded
Ok guys, the plot thickens. I went ahead and tried to factory reset from within the ROM, and it doesnt work. It just reboots. Any advice ?
Get into TWRP, wipe cache, dalvik-cache, SD Card and Factory Reset.
Thanks, trying that now, think I need to reinstall gapps?
Edit: NVM, everything looks perfect, thanks so much! Just in the knick of time too.

No need, they're in /system/app, so they'll be there so long as you don't wipe System or install a different ROM.

So I just flashed Juggernaut 3.69 to my GS2 and after it was all done I was very surprised to see many of the T-Mobile apps still on the phone. I was even more surprised to see that I didn't have to go through the setup process again. It even remembered my Google account info. Have I missed something here? Every other device I have ever flashed completely overrode the stock ROM with the custom ROM, why has that not happened here? I want that T-Mobile crap gone!
It should cone with an app called "bloater" you can remove those apps from there. And did you wipe data/factory reset? If not that is probably why your gmail is still there
There is enough hate in the world. Why can't we all get along here ...?

I followed the instructions to a "t" and they didn't say to wipe data/factory reset. I did see bloater after I posted this. I'll do the factory reset and see what happens. I just don't see how a custom ROM can flash over a stock ROM and the device still retain previous settings. If the stock ROM was truly erased I would expect a clean slate when the custom ROM has finished installing.
Wiping data is a choice, you can if you want, but it's not frowned apron if you don't lol

Oh, no you don't NEED to factory reset, I'm just saying that is why your account was still there.

i don't know about you guys
but every time i upgrade Juggernaut from version to version, i need to do a full wipe, else it just constant FC or reboots
that's the great benefit of Ti, just hit restore all, come back in a few minutes, done!

The only time I've wiped my phone was when I test a different ROM on my phone. I use juggernaut as my daily and I don't wipe when updating... No FC or reboots here

If I don't wipe, I feel my battery drains faster than it normally would if I did wipe. So, I always wipe just in case
Hi,
For example, on my galaxy s2, i pictures, movies, apps and whenever i did a hard-reset everything was deleted.
But on galaxy nexus the only thing i notice gets deleted is the apps i install, so the pictures are still there, and the files i create are also still there. I've also tried with a full wipe tool, but still they're there.
Is there something wrong with my phone, or there's no hard-reset like the s2?
I have Android revulotion HD rom with Original stock kernel.

Ive actually noticed this myself the last time I "wiped" my device and found the same thing. Pics, etc were all still there even though it put me through the steps for setting up my phone again as it did when I first got it.
Why IS this happening?

I know, but is this a bug, or is there another option for erasing everything on the sd beside doing it from the pc?

If you factory reset from the settings menu it is supposed to be a full wipe. If you factory reset from recovery it does not wipe the SD card.

I was having this terrible experience while I was trying to do a factory reset before flashing a new build from AOKP. Nothing was deleted, and I tried like 3 times : Factory Reset in Android, Wipe Data in Recovery, etc...nothing changed.
Finally, I flashed back the stock rom 4.0.2 from Google and did a factory reset and it worked, everything was erased including pics, musics, apps, etc.
So obviously it's a bug. You can ONLY do a factory reset in stock rom (ics) but not in a custom rom (AOKP or Android HD, ...).
Hope it helps.

Recovery WILL NOT DELETE YOUR PICTURES.
Ever. If they are on your virtual SD card, they will NOT BE DELETED.

Sorry I didn't make it clear. I understand that Wipe Data in Recovery will leave things untouched in sdcard.

If you're meaning me, then if you also would read, then you would understand, that i was saying factory reset, AND recovery mode wipe, so i mean, i tried everything i could. But heo_con184 explained everything for me now, and now i know it's the ROM 4.03 that can't do this.
thanks
I've got an similar problem, but in my case "wipe data/ factory reset" from recovery mode doesn't delete anything. When I choose "wipe data/ factory reset" in recovery and then choose to reboot after it tells me it finished deleting, it just boots like nothing has changed. It doesn't aks me to setup my phone (Galaxy Nexus). I also tried to wipe the cash in recovery. I also tried "fastboot oem unlock" which should delete data as an side-affect (for security-reasons). I tried CWM (ClockWorkMod recovery) to do a wipe of cash, dalvik-chache and a reset with CWM. But after all this affords every time I boot my device it shows the home-screen with all the app-logos arranged in exactly the same positions as I have arranged them (not the default positions and I'm not asked to go through setup). After showing me the homescreen for a few seconds, it reboots (thats the reason why I want to do a reset).
Has anybody an Idea how I could get my phone to work again?
Maybe flashing the OS (https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images)?
The strange thing is that I have never modified the OS. I have always only used the automativ OTA updates.

Have you tried wiping internal storage ? Wiping data wipes installed apps , your info like email and just returns you to a state of re-setting up the rom . I would think you'd need to also wipe internal storage where pics , music , downloads , nandroids etc and everything else is stored . I'm not saying it's not a bug , just asking if anyone having the issue has tried that from recovery .
One more thing to the guy who wanted to wipe everything to install a custom rom . There's absolutely no need to wipe internal storage to flash a rom . If you were installing a new version of windows would you delete all the drives where your pictures and everything else you've ever collected just to put windows on c drive ? Absolutely no you wouldn't . This is about the same thing .Wiping system , data , cache and dalvik is all you ever need to do going from kitkat to Lollipop or anywhere else . NO NEED . Recovery's and custom roms are set up like that to protect the people who might accidently wipe all their treasured stuff from storage and then crying for days at the loss .
Well i messed up oin this one, i tried to put a new lockscreen onto my EVO and deleted the .apk, and now im in a bootloop can anyone help me get out of this? is my phone screwed, and if i unroot can i still take it to sprint so they can fix it?

Flash the same ROM you were using. It should restore things. If that does not work, then just do a full wipe.
I already attempted to do a full wipe, and i was on the 2.3.3 stock ROM still. Maybe im missing how to do the full wipe, i am quite new to this, but dont you go into recovery mod and wipe everything through there because that sent me into boot loop again

Yes you wipe partitions in Recovery. Once you do that all you have to do is reflash the ROM.
This link will take you to the latest EVO Stock ROMs available:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1455340
I would pick the ODEX option.
PM me if I could be of more help.
Good Luck
If reflashing your ROM doesnt work then you most likely did something else that you didnt realize.
Well i wiped bloody everything haha. Trying ROM flash now, would it be ok if i tried to flash an entirely new ROM?
Yeah flash a brand new ROM and see if that fixes the problem. If it doesnt then you may have screwed something else up. Or there is some kind of hardware malfunction going on with your motherboard.
Once wiped, flash a ROM. You must wipe before flashing a ROM. Wipe system, cache, dalvik cache, data before flashing. I think one other but I forget

reflashing a new rom ,maybe can solve the problem^
So i have flashed for awhile and never have encountered this problem. i was on lbj7 i went back to stock. did Ota upgrade to 4.1.2, rerooted flashed another rom and now all it does is forceclose. How do i clean the system completly so i can reflash a fresh clean install. I normally wipe Delvik+cache+ factory what else can i include to insure i have a 100% clean flash?. Any and all help is appreciated thanks!
Wipe internal storage will erase anything on the internal just as it states. What ROM are you trying to flash? Also what recovery do you have and is it up to date. If you want the ultimate clean install I do this, make sure the and if you need gasps or any other file is on the external card
Wipe data, cache, dalvick, system this removes the ROM, internal and maybe even format data. Flash ROM wipe cache and dalvick and if you need to gasps the wipe cache and dalvick the boot. But make sure your recovery is up to date, I use twrp which is on 2.4.4 right now. And you have the correct gasps if needed. Good luck.

To install TWRP the easiest way just download Goomanager from the Play Store here https://play.google.com/store/apps/...anager&feature=nav_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDNd open it go to settings and select Install OpenRecoveryScript, This will download and install TWRP's newest recovery. You could also check the md5sum to see if it's a good download. Sometimes the files that you download are corrupted but I have never had it happen, and I have flashed endless amounts of ROMs on different phones, but it happens people say. I am unfamiliar with that specific ROM but try searching in the thread for it to see if anyone else has had similar experiences and have a way to fix it. Searching is your friend, search and read a lot will ussually solve your problem, and if you don't turn up anything don't be afraid to ask a question instead of doing something that might be unsafe or worries you.
I did as u suggested and just tried re flashing using Twrp. Awaiting Results as first boot aproaches. Thanks again for the helping hand.
Just a heads up. Try and hit the thanks button on these forums if people help you in any way. I don't really care about it but it helps some people especially devs and what not.
Well, i heard about the new releases of Cyanogenmod 11 for the tablet and i'm really excited. I have experience with roms and i read that i need to wipe everything, even the fake sd card partition and i have like 20gb of data there, is it really necesary to wipe it? I tought i could change rom just wiping system data but if it is necessary i would move all that to my pc.
Thanks so much in advance.
By the way, if anyone is using cyanogenmod, does it improve the perfomance on battery and all that? Thanks again for answering.

No need to wipe the SD, a simple factory reset/system format when going from one Rom base to another (from stock to CM in this case) is enough.

So the factory reset on twpr recovery wouln't wipe all my data stored on the sd? Have you tried it by yourself? Does Cm11 worth the change? Thank s for the answer and sorry for the lot of questions haha

Yup, won't touch the SD at all... Doing it all the time using TWRP 2.6.3.1.
CM11 runs nice here, am using a non-Caf version so more kernels are compatible. Using ElementalX myself :good:
i did something stupid....
i did wipe my sd card.
This is what i get for not paying attention and watching football while i was wiping.
this is what i did:
1) downloaded cm 11 and gapps on tablet
2) went into twrp and did a nandroid.
3) went into advance wipe & wiped everything: dalvic, system, data, internal storage, cache
4) went to install and it was blank so i slapped the forehead
5) went to https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images#razor and downloaded https://dl.google.com/dl/android/aosp/razor-krt16s-factory-7235eb0d.tgz on the computer
6) also went ahead and downloaded http://download.cyanogenmod.org/get/jenkins/50524/cm-11-20131208-NIGHTLY-flo.zip on the computer
7) also downloaded http://www.mediafire.com/download/ahbnc2k5u5op501/pa_gapps-full-4.4-20131126-signed.zip on the computer
so i am still in twrp.
can i boot into bootloader? is it there?
i thought the image file extension ended in .img
what was downloaded was a .tgz file.
since i dont have an os on the tablet i can not enable usb debugging so will adb work?
im a bit of a noob with adb but i think im about to get a crash course.
Thanks in advance for some advice
