Hi guys, I think I'm having a little issue with hard resetting my phone. Everytime i go into recovery and do clean install, everything that is on my internal storage stays there, like my download folders, old folders and files etc. So how can i hard reset the phone. Also I've tried going into Settings > Back up and reset > Factory data reset > Reset device > Erase everything, but when i press erase everything, nothing happens. How can I fix this? I'm on eclipse v9 rom.
I'm having some issues with apps taking long time to load, that's why i wanted to hard reset and restart afresh.

You want to clear your internal storage too?
If yes then go to recovery>wipe>advance wipe>select internal storage,data,cache to clean your device and flash your rom again.
You could also flash a stock ROM via Odin and wipe in recovery mode before booting the stock ROM for the first time.

Hello everyone,
I would post this in the development thread but I can't since I am a ne user. Anyway..
I am currently on InFamous switching between the 2.4 TW version and the Google Edition v2.0.
My problem is every time I reboot my phone, it gets stuck on the Samsung Galaxy S4 boot image. Then when I go to recovery the Internal storage shows 0 MB available, and I can't fix permissions or wipe anything without having to format data first. The only way to boot my phone again, is to format data, wipe everything, and reinstall the ROM which is very annoying and time consuming.
PLEASE HELP!!
Thanks in advance

Have you tried this:
Before doing anything, be sure to back up the internal sdcard to a folder on your computer if you have anything you
want to save on the internal sdcard. Also be sure that the Google Edition zip file rom is on your "external" sdcard.
When the phone is flashed and ready to use go into settings>accounts tab>backup and reset>"Factory data reset".
Click on the factory data reset.
After doing that reboot into cwm or twrp which ever you are using and do a full wipe as you usually do but don't
forget to include "Factory reset".
Then flash the Google Edition rom as you normally have done and it should fix the problem you are having hopefully.
Good luck!

Unfortunately, this did not work =(. Again, as soon s I reboot, I get stuck on the Samsung screen and have to pull out the battery. Then, in recovery my Internal storage has 0 MB aeven though the folders are empty.

Have you tried holding the power button, home key and the volume up key all at the same time to boot in recovery? If not do a battery pull and do it when turning the phone back on

If you already tried to Odin flash the STOCK rom and formatted your internal sdcard and you still find "0 MB"
in your internal storage then it must be a hardware issue and if I were you I would return/exchange the phone.
Good luck!
It's not a hardware issue. It's a bug in twrp. Whenever you do "format data" it corrupts the data partition. Use PhilZ Touch recovery. His recovery includes the fix. Try it.

Thanks, I'll try that. How do I get rid of the bug after writing the new recovery? Format data?
Thanks!
Hello, any progress please? I have exactly the same issue.
I found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2265588&page=23 this solution:
I wanted to clean my internal SD card before flashing Omega ROM, so I used Format Data option from Wipe section in TWRP.
After that I lost almost two days trying to fix my phone. Flashed stock ROM, TWRP and Omega ROM endless times without success after that.
My phone became randomly unbootable on reboot or power on! It was stuck on i9505 logo that is shown before boot animation forever. It was same for both stock and Omega ROM, with or without external micro SD.
After endless tries, I figured out that my phone works fine if I do factory reset and wipe from original recovery. Worked fine before and after flashing TWRP.
I tired to Format Data from TWRP again and my phone again was stuck on boot.
So I did everything once more. Flashed stock, did factory reset and wipe from original recovery and then installed TWRP and in the end I flashed Omega without wiping anything.
Everything works just fine now and I will not try to use Format data option from TWRP on this device in near time! Please fix this.
First I used TWRP 2.5.0.1 and then 2.5.0.2, but it is same in both of them.

Now I'm downloading stock rom so I'll try it in next 2 hours.
bet you guys previously flashed a aosp rom, I could be wrong, but it sounds as if you did.

It says so in the OP... going between TW and Google Edition 2.0.. Out of curiosity though, what difference would that make? I have flashed and have backups of two versions of TW and quite a few AOSP variants... I can move between them seamlessly and haven't encountered any such problems as the OP. I use TWRP as well.
It was TWRP problem. I have flashed the stock ROM with stock recovery. I have done full wipe and my phone works well again. This is bug in TWRP. Don't push "format data" button!
A day after rooting my phone, I goofed up. The phone is now stuck on bootloop even though I did a factory reset and then a cache wipe.
Any help is appreciated.

Can you completely power down(hold the power button for 30-60 seconds) and power back on to get back into recovery(vol up + power)? And after you did the factory reset and all that, what did you install? Did you make a backup? Just need a little more info.

Yes, after the reset and cache wipe i didn't install anything. I did make a nandroid backup, but it's probably gone now. I reboot the phone and the bootloop starts.

So no recovery? If you can get into recovery your backup is probably there. If you can, check to see if your backup is there first. If it is, factory reset(data, dalvik and cache) then go into advanced wipe, wipe all 4(should be data, dalvik, cache and system - DO NOT DELETE INTERNAL!) THEN restore you backup and reboot. If you can't get into recovery, see if you can get into dl mode. From a totally shut down phone - hold both volume buttons then plug your phone into a computer(while still holding the volume buttons). If you can get into dl mode, then there is still hope, you will have to use lgnpst and flash a teenybin. The directions are here on the forum, but try recovery first(if possible) and let me know if recovery or dl mode works. Sadly, if dl mode doesnt come up, you may be in trouble.
I can get into Download mode. I've tried LGNPST but it doesn't wanna launch. Do you mean recovery as in CWM or Stock Recovery? I can access stock, I'm not sure how to access CWM.

So, do you have twrp installed? Or any other custom recovery? Not stock! Also you'll need a Windows PC.
Just looked at the date lol. You probably have it fixed already or just moved on.
Have a Note 3, rooted, flashed Jedi Elite about 3 months ago, works like a champ.
Randomly today during normal usage, phone froze, reset, then gives me this message
"Device memory damaged - the data partition has been corrupted. You need to reset your device to factory defaults. This will erase all the data on your device"
Tried that, didn't change anything (booted right back to the same screen), Went into the bootloader, wiped the cache, no change, tried a factory reset from there, no change, tried 're-rooting' it (a suggestion online), root worked, no change ( still booting to the same screen )
Help! Can't find any help online, in desperate need of guidance.

if you have no choice, I would recommend flashing through ODIN the new firmware, or which ever firmware you have installed on your phone..
goto recovery,, wipe system, data, cache, dalvik cache, then ODIN your firmware.. this way you will have a fresh clean install, see what happens after that,

Tried, everything seemed to go well, but on boot up after flashing the ROM, same screen about corruption of memory.
Seems like I might want to try the re-partition option, which requires a pit file, but can't find the right file (SM-N900T)

After boot up of the stock ROM it still said that?
If you Odin the stock room boot into the stock recovery and factory reset. You can also do this in the settings menu under storage. This will wipe your phone

If you have TWRP, then take a backup and after data wipe, restore data

Unfortunately unless you have twrp, stock recovery will format both userdata and data.
