How do I do a full reset of the phone - I mean everything!
I have gone into recovery and done a full wipe of data, cache, dalvik, battery stats - basically everything there is there but I am still having problems with the bravo-keyboard.kl file. Is this file part of the ROM when flashing a new ROM?
I tried to download the file and did an adb push but it still doesn't work correctly (incorrect mapping of buttons). Tried the app button remapper too but the buttons look correct there.
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Hard factory reset:
Boot into hboot and enter "clear storage". You could also try to recalibrate the keyboard in phone settings.
Will try that now - thanks. Can't see a calibrate keyboard in my phone settings - oxygen ROM. It's actually the buttons that seem to have remapped themselves.

Lets make this easy:
-Tried to install CyanogenMod on my rooted Desire using the ROM Mananger.
-Installed it but it got into a loop at the CyanogenMod boot logo
-Searched around and found out that you had to go into recovery and try to reflash there
-Every time I go into ClockworkMod Recovery, there's a message "E:Error in CACHE:recovery/log (No space left on device)"
-Tried to wipe data/factory reset
-Got a black screen
(It seems that all the options give me a black screen and the only way I could solve that is to remove the battery)
I was told to reflash the recovery, but how would I go about doing that?
Pleas don't tell me you also try to confirm actions in recovery with the power button. Use the trackpad/optical joystick instead, the reason the screen turns black is because you actually turn it off(simple press of the power button should fix it and not pulling the battery). Also make sure in recovery you wipe data/factory-reset, cache and dalvik cache(under advanced)

Oh Thank you soooo much. Thought I had to spend hours on this, but your comment saved the day!
Problem with ClockworkMod Recovery
I was trying to install MIUI ROM but after performing a data wipe I got an
E: unknown volme for path [sd/ext]
Back Menu Button Disabled
Davik Cache wiped
message.
I'm now not able to use any of the options in the first clockwork mod recovery screen even though I can freely move throughout them. Whenever I choose one the background remains but nothing happens.
Any ideas on how to fix this? I'm afraid to reboot since I have no ROM installed.
take the battery out, put it back in then power on holding the volume down button then get back in recovery wipe again then flash again
After flashing AOKP build 6 and the gapps package, everything was running fine until the phone randomly shut down and rebooted.
After turning back on the boot animation continued, figured I'd wait it out and it still continued and after several minutes and pulling the battery I tried holding down the Volume Down and Power Button but the image says it's downloading please don't turn off this item. After waiting and waiting the phone shuts off and starts the reboot and the boot animation continues again.
This has never happened before and not sure exactly how to get the phone running again. What should I do?

if you can still get to recovery(power+both volume keys, then select recovery mode with volume keys, click power to confirm), try wiping cache and dalvik cache and reflashing JUST your rom, if it boots DONT flash the same gapps package, download a new one: http://tinyw.in/C7XP
I was able to open recovery
1. advanced
2. wipe dalvik cache
3. install zip
4. reboot
it's still running just the animation at this point. I have the same gapps package, didn't flash it, just the rom and it's still not loading. I have a feeling it was the wiping cache and dalvik cache part, is there a step I'm missing?
Wipe?
I looked at another forum, I'm guessing this is what I'm suppose to do for a full wipe?
Volume up, power button, and home button all pressed together for a couple of seconds.
Wipe the cache partition
Go to Advanced and wipe the dalvik and batt stats
Go to mounts and storage and select it.
Go to format / system and select it.
Scroll down to format system and select yes.
Go to format / data and select it
Scroll down to format data and select yes.
Go to format / cache and select it.
Scroll down to format cache and select yes.
Now go back and install the rom from the internal or external sd card.
If I do this and it still doesn't work, will I have to worry some more?
If you wipe data you will no longer have any sdcard contents. Then you come crying back here and want to know how to fix that. The easy solution here? Boot to your custom recovery and do 'factory reset'

And wiping battery stats, cache, dalvik... Is a myth.

Guys
really need some help here. Stupidly i decided i wanted to try my hand at installing clean rom,.
Firstly -
1. i rooted the device, and then used titanium backup to freeze some knox apps.
2. I didnt bother to put the stock recovery back on as i wanted to install clean ROM.
3. I followed the instructions i found on here to a tee - as below. They all worked perfectly.
4. I went through the install screens on CLEAN ROM - that all worked fine.
5. It ended with a screen back to TWRP and i hit reboot.
6. Not the device just gets stuck at the glowing samsung logo.
7. I can get back into TWRP but i have no idea what to do next. I have tried rebooting from TWRP, both system and power, but no luck. The device powers down, and comes back up but remains stuck on the glowing samsung logo.
What can i do?
these were the instructions i followed. Any help much appreciated, and i will chuck a couple of quid towards someone that can help.
3.
Download latest CleanRom and copy it to your SD-Card
4. ODIN
- Run Odin as administrator
- untick -Auto Reboot-
- Click -PDA- (in latest version it's -AP-) and choose your TWRP version
- Now turn off your device and restart it by holding down Power+Volume Down. Proceed with Volume Up to enter DownloadMode
- now connect your device to your PC using USB
- Device drivers should get installed if not already done
- check the Message box in Odin. There should be an "Added!!"
- There should be nothing checked but F. Reset Time
- Press -Start-
- when finished there should be a "RES OK !!" in the Message box
- TRWP is now flashed to your device
4.1.
Now restart your device manually by holding down Power+Volume Up. As soon as you see the Samsung Logo, wait a second and release the Powerbutton but keep holding Volume Up until TWRP is loaded.
5. TWRP
In TRWP
- click Wipe
- advanced wipe and check:
Dalvik, Cache, Data, Internal Storage (should be enough), System
- do NOT tick external SD. You don't want to get it wiped.
- Swipe to Wipe
Now back to Mainmenu
- click Install
- choose your desired ROM
- Swipe to Confirm Flash
- Follow Rom's Installshield and you should be good
Have fun and good luck
If you can get back to TWRP, then wipe data , cache & dalvik, then re-flash clean rom again.
If problem still persists then flash a stock rom via odin.
still no joy
I can wipe cache, system, data, but when i try to include dalvik cache i get a "Failed". the message in the screen says E: unable to mount '/cache

You shouldn`t wipe system . data , cache & dalvik was the requested options.
Now since you wiped system, your only choice is to download a stock firmware from sammobile, enter download mode power+volume down , then volume up, & flash via odin .

Hi thanks all – i think the problem was the boot loop issue. I wiped cache, dalvik cache, system, and data, one by one, and then reinstalled clean rom and it seemed to push it through. Thanks for the support though!
Almost, if it powers on and you're even getting in to recovery, bricked is not the proper term.
Bricked = no power, dead beyond repair.
All you had was a software issue.
and if twrp does not find sd card ?
then what ?..
So I flashed a gpe rom (clean install), I am s-off so i dont know why after i deleted some system apps (play books, google plus etc.) and go into recovery to wipe dalvik cache and reboot i get a bootloop. I'm stuck on the bootloop and the phone does not turn off and I dont think i checked usb debug on, anything i can do??

Okay first, in order to get out of the bootloop. Do a Volume up + Power to reboot the phone and after you see the screen go off switch to Volume down + power. After this step you should be in the bootloader (HBOOT). Now use the volume keys to navigate to 'Recovery' and press the power button to select it. Once in the recovery try wiping the Dalvik Cache and /cache partition again and reboot into System and see if it boots properly. If it doesn't then do a clean reflash of the GPE ROM.
Also in order to troubleshoot what caused this, can you give a specific list of the system apps you removed or any other possible things you could've did to cause this?
