So i did the factory data reset and when I restarted the phone my root access was gone.
So I guess I have to re root the phone again.

You can flash the rooted kernel with CWM and I think it will be rerooted and you won't have to replace the ROM.
This would be a good opportunity for you to make a cwm flashable backup of the stock rom, since I don't think anyone has yet.

I have a back up of my stock ROM via the backup function of CWM but it has my personal stuff in it. If he just did a factory reset and has no root, he can make a clean backup of the stock ROM but I'm not sure if his back up would work across phones but I don't see why it wouldn't. The important things to back up would be system and data but not cache.
I had a backup of my stock rom via cwm thankfully but I had to re root my phone and also I had to reinstall CWM all over again.
I will definitely not be using the factory data reset feature anymore.The only reason why I even used it was cause the storage space on my phone was showing incorrect numbers and every time I tried to reinstall the stuff that was on it before it keep telling me i was out of space.
After clearing the internal storage space everything came back to normal but my root was gone and CWM to.
But everything is good now.
Thanks guys!
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?
thanks
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.

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 .
Hi
I just flashed my first ROM on my GS3. I went from the LH1 stock OTA from Samsung, rooted, installed CWM, and then flashed AOKP(Jellybean) Task & Ktoonsez - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1766684 - many thanks to them btw for some amazing work.
Anyway once I flashed the ROM and GAAPS and my device booted up, all my data was still there... my photos, my apps reloaded, even the data inside the apps was still there, which I cannot understand how. Don't get me wrong I am happy that everything was still there. Also, I did make a backup from CWM but I did not restore it because I did not need to (since all the data loaded on its own).
My question is: was this feature built into this ROM or is this something that is normally supposed to happen.
If you didn't factory reset (wipe data/cache) before flashing AOKP, then yes, all your apps will still be there. That's not recommended though because lingering system settings from the stock ROM could mess with things.
And factory reset doesn't erase your internal storage or SD card, it just wipes apps and settings, so your photos and stuff will be there regardless.

Thanks for the reply. I did definitely did factory reset in CWM as I followed all instructions to the T. I am not sure why but all of my apps remained, I saw some of them auto download rather quickly and for example I have this app called Vaulty. All of its contents were still inside.
Odd nonetheless
Guys
I wonder if i could ask how to go about removing clean rom and going back to a stock rom with Root.
I have thus far done the following.
rooted device
installed twrp
installed clean rom
I want to remove clean rom for a number of reasons.
1. I regularly get "email not responding" messages that come up every couple of hours or so.
2. The above also happens for S Planner
3. The battery usage has gone crazy - i get massive drain from around 40% which will drain to 15% in an hour or so of video watching (never happened before)
4. I get a stutter every 30 mins of video watching on MX player (streaming) - never happened before.
So to that end, id like to go back to a stock rom and keep root and freeze the bloat ware.
Any idea on what i need to wipe in TWRP before going back to ODIN to flash the ROM. Is it the following
WIPE
dalvik Cache,
Cache
System
Data
Or do not do any of this, and just flash the stock Rom in Odin?
Any clues?

When you Odin it does not wipe your data so to go truly back to day one you should wipe data. You do not have to do anything before you Odin back to stock technically. It sounds like something you have installed is the cause of your problems though. I have been using CleanRom since it was released and have had no such issues. If I were you I would flash his stock rooted rom if you do not want CleanRom.

So if i wipe data, what do i check in TWRP, before i flash the stock rom?
Just "data"
or do i do all of the following
dalvik chache
cache
system
data
Its a bit of a mine field to know what to delete and what not to.. i have no idea what the above even means!

Wipe data and then odin the factory image and you should be golden. Then set it up and reroot via chainfire's method. Here is a link to getting back to stock with a Tab Pro 8.4 which is the same process for the Note 2014. Just make sure you use a .tar image for the Note 2014 and you will be good to go.

Sorry - last question!
SO when you say wipe data - you mean just tick the data box on twrp but leave everything else (ie dalvik cache, cache, system)?

You can just do the TWRP factory reset if you want. The odin flash will wipe everything but data though.

I'm rooted on my Galaxy S3. Last month I made a backup through TWRP recovery. Yesterday when I restored to the backup, the restore wasnt complete. I tried to restore again and I encountered the same incomplete restore. My customized settings in the apps were gone and some of the apps I had backed up weren't included in the restore. Looks like something got messed up.
I then wiped cache, Dalvik, data and system. I even formatted the phone. I also did a factory reset. This messed up my phone so I installed a new rooted stock rom. So now, the phone is slow as hell and apps arent very responsive. Everything is laggy and slow. And the play store and youtube have slow connection speeds.
What should I do to fix this stupidity??
Did you try restoring a stock ROM via Odin?
I had the same thing happen before. Odin with a stock rom is all that fixed it for me.

Yes I did. But Playstore downloading speed and wifi speed are slow as hell. What do you suggest?
Are you downloading over WiFi or cellular data network? The phone is running the latest rom without root? After flashing, you you immediately go to b recovery and do a full wipe?

Yes I'm downloading over wifi and its slow. The phone is laggy too. Its running JB with root. I tried a full wipe of dalvik, cache and data or system. It doesnt help.
This is really strange because a factory reset usually does the trick.
This may be a redundant question but was the phone flashed with the correct ROM? I see different variations of the T999 on sammobile.com's website.

Hi audit.. Its not a dumb question at all. The rom was the correct one for my phone. Everything was working fine up until a week ago. Its possible that my phone fell and maybe that caused damage maybe.
Not only that but restoring bsckups through TWRP doesnt yield perfect restores. All my restores have not been complete. Customized settings all returned to default and apps were rearramged differently.
Anyeay, just to make sure, how can I do a proper wipe without wiping out my custom settings and apps? Do I just wipe dalvik, cache and system?
You would wipe dalvik and cache only.
Wiping data wipes apps.
Wiping system wipes the rom.

Thanks for a speedy reply. Can you explain why my backuo restores through TWRP dont yield perfect restores? Custom settings return to default and apps are arranged differently.
I am not sure why that happens but I have used twrp on several phones, including the lg g2, nexus 4, note 3, htc one x, and Samsung tab without issue. Maybe you need to do a full wipe before restoring? Does the phone have the latest twrp?

Hi audit. Yes the phone has the latest TWRP. I downloaded it from the play store yesterday.
I got an important question. I backed up my rom a few days through TWRP as I said. Is it possible to open up the backup on my laptop and search for specific pics? I dont want to restore the rom, since as I stated, I have problems doing so. I just need to get those pics. Is this possible?
I am not sure but it is worth a try.
Humour me but is the twrp 2.8.7?

Thats right, current version is 2.8.7.0.

You download the tar file for d2att, open Odin, put phone into download mode, put the tar file in the pda box, and flash.
