[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] corkie1:
Hi guys,

Can someone help me with a factory data reset? Im having horrific battery problems since updating OTA from ICS to JB. I've tried all the usual suggestions and am getting nowhere so i understand a lot of folks do a factory data reset and it helps some..

So the current status of my device is stock ROM and rooted with CF. I have titanium installed. If i understand this correctly i need to is it backup all apps individually from within Titanium?

Is it then just a case of clicking factory data reset from within the S3 menu? I guess I'm on a custom recovery and not stock recovery because im rooted with CF? Does this make any difference to the factory data reset procedure?

Many thanks
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marklar666:
Yes, just click it and you will have brand new jelly bean, but still rooted. Install titanium and restore all necessary applications. I did factory reset two day ago.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saywhatt:
there are 2 ways to factory reset..

1. from the settings menu (i am sure you are aware of this)

2. from recovery; stock recovery or cwm recovery

if you are wondering what a cwm recovery is, it is a custom recovery for rooted phones.. so you can go over at the Original Development section and find the thread for this recovery.. you will have to use odin to flash :)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] corkie1:
Great. Were you rooted before you did the reset? So having a custom recovery (if i have one as i'm rooted) wont effect this? All the titanium backups of the apps i take [presumably are fine as there stored on the SD card which doesn't get touched during factory data reset. Is this right?

Thanks guys
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] corkie1:
So if i'm rooted with chainfire does that mean that i cant do the factory data reset from within the phone menu?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saywhatt:
you can still do a factory reset within the menu OR do a factory reset through Recovery (either Stock or Custom)

but since you are rooted, it is rather suggested to flash a custom recovery such as CWM Recovery

correct
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] corkie1:
Great thanks for that. As I'm not really used to flashing things hence my noob questions. I rebooted into CWM and i can see the wipe date /factory reset option. Are there any other options i should run here i.e. wipe cache partition?

Final question after i do the wipe data/ factory reset im left with a clean build of JB with no apps or anything installed - i just pull these back from titanium 1 by 1 i guess?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] corkie1:
For anyone who is interested the factory reset sorted my battery. I am now back to loosing approx 1% per hour overnight on 3g only (weakish signal), wifi off, location services on, google now off, fb, gmail push on. As good as it was before the JB update. I reckon a lot of folks will need to go down this route as its widespread about the JB battery issue. Luckily i was rooted so with titanium restore i got everything the way i wanted in only an hour or 2 - without it you could be tweaking apps for hours i.e. handsent sms!!

I have a small issue with S2W function. Im using my rooted IncS, s-unlock, Revolutionary, CWM, Sabsa Prime 8.5 with @Nonverbose kernel .7. I also have Trickster mod installed with S2W enables. When I swipe from home to search, voila, sure enough it wakes. But when I do the opposite to go into sleep mode, search to home, it will take a screen shot and not sleep. Has anybody else ran into this? :confused:
[HTC Incredible S] vikan:
it's a known issue. s2w and screenshot feature conflicts. you need to disable screenshot to use that. need to add a parameter to build.prop, dont remember it though, search arnd on forum and you'll find it.

[HTC Incredible S] kcface:
Appreciate the input. I like the screen shot feature so I will just use the s2w for just that, sweep to wake only.
[HTC Incredible S] MrToastbrot:
add ro.htc.framework.screencapture=false to your build.prop

now, to take a screenshot, press power + vol-down at the same time for a second.
[HTC Incredible S] Nonverbose:
You could also not "sweep" all the war to the home button, or just above the actual keys.

I tried the short sweep but still takes screen shot. However swiping just above the keys DOES work. Thanks again! :good:
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boo97:
Hi ermm I s-offed my desire but now realise I don't want nor need it and want to go back to S-ON and stock HBOOT. How do I do that?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eddiehk6:
if you haven't actually changed hboot you are still on stock hboot, leave it. (you're just s-off with stock hboot partition layout, i'm wondering whether you understand what the hboots are? try here, recommend reading all the guides there)

s-off allows you to change hboot to use space more efficiently, and modify system partition while it's running. it's also much more useful to be s-off just in case things go wrong i.e. easier to fix.

(if you really want to go back s-on, you'll have to flash RUU, look at bortak's guide stickied to the top of Q&A, but i don't recommend it, not much point...)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boo97:
No its just that I read somewhere that S-OFF can be dangerous and could brick your phone!!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boo97:
Thank you that was very helpful......I think I will leave my phone at S-Off.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eddiehk6:
Don't worry too much about it, you probably read someone who didn't follow instructions.

The actual s-off procedure can be dangerous, but most likely to happen during the process itself

You are already successfully s-off so relax!

Hi all. Got my hands on a samsung allshare cast dongle. So i thought that a quick-review and setup would come in handy for some people. Since the sIII is the featured device I've made it with it. Altough it works without a problem with the Note II too since it also has the allshare cast app integrated into the soft.

[Galaxy S III Accessories] wildgamer100:
I noticed it has a slight lag. How does it affect gaming? And anyone else that uses the MHL adapter does it have any lag?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] ponyboy82:
I have an unofficial mhl adapter, and there is a touch of lag (see the other thread in here). Videos and regular stuff are fine (Youtube HD looks great), but most games seem to have varying amounts of lag. Interestingly, Dead Trigger was completely playable but stuff like Angry Birds and especially Ski Safari were harder.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] thedonsza:
sometimes it lags in games!not all the time !
[Galaxy S III Accessories] chrismast:
maybe you should combine it with this threat as there are already many questions answered about the dongle and its working/non-working.

In addition it seems that dead trigger runs quite smooth on your dongle, for many it is choppy & laggy, mind to share your dongle's firmware and your phone's setup?

As I found nothing regarding this (just 2 or 3 requests with the same problem), are there some reasons why it isn't possible (rooting will not be the problem for me)? Or the problem is just to rare?

Kind regards

THIS WORKS WITH ALL JB ROMs THAT ARE BASED ON THE MINICM10 ROMs (Nightly or stable version doesn't really matter here)

MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A JB ROM BACKUP THAT YOU CAN RESTORE. OTHERWISE YOU'LL FACE THE assert getprop ..... ERROR.

AFTER RESTORATION, YOU CAN INSTALL ANY JB ROM.

OR

YOU CAN EDIT THE UPDATER-SCRIPT IN THE ROM.ZIP. REMOVE THE assert getprop LINES, AND THEN PROCEED WITH INSTALLATION. THIS IS NOT ALWAYS SAFE AND CAN CORRUPT YOUR ROM.ZIP FILE.

CHANGELOG

-30-10-12

* Initial release

* CWM touch recovery from Alfs' kernel

-8-12-12

*TWRP

*Both versions of CWM touch recovery integrated into one ramdisk

*FPS-uncap (maybe?)

-15-12-12

*Removed CWM touch

*Included CWM 5.5.0.4

-18-12-12

*Forget 5.5.0.4. CWM touch 5.0.2.8 is back in two different kernels.

*MD5 mismatch is still un-fixed. Official error (I guess).

-1-1-13

*New Year's Release (not really, built it quite some time ago).

*Added Deadline I/O scheduler (not quite sure why nAa-jb doesn't have this; it is blazing fast).

*Better TWRP UI (thanks to CnC for providing the awesome buttons and the sliders).

-7-1-13

*Added SIO and V(R) schedulers.

*Tweaked Deadline a bit from Daveee10's commits. Super cool now.

*Added smartassH3 governor.

-12-1-13

*Used SLQB slab allocator instead of the default SLAB.

*Applied the PMEM commits from nAa-jb-03. H/W video decoding works perfectly now.

*Edited the bootrec to make sure two recoveries aren't booted at once. Sdcard bug gone for now.

*CWM backups work. You just have to mount /system and /data. Don't pull out the battery when it's backing up. It's actually in progress, although the progress bar is so thin, you won't be able to determine whether it's actually working or not.

*New TWRP theme. Credits: thecoby for the original theme and an0nym0us_ for resizing it to MDPI.

*Fixed the I/O schedulers bug. Credits: Daveee10.

DEVELOPMENT PLANS FOR NEXT RELEASE(S)

- New bootanimation (similar to Nexus ones)

- Powerboost and some other newer ondemand governor features. Also thanks to Daveee10.

@pilu1978

I tried using CWM 5.5.0.4 from nAa's original ramdisk. Will try again, but if I remember correctly it still didn't solve the problem for users like TAJ_Rocks, lauferteppenwolf and me of course. Worth another try, though.

The sdcard format bug is rare (happened only once to me) and to be on the safer side, I asked users to backup their sdcard before flashing this.

I use your binaries for JB/ICS kernels. Therefore the only difference might be in the way the recovery.fstab mounts the different devices, and maybe a little change in the init files. Nothing major, though.

Thanks for the suggestions.

sgt. meow
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] pilu1978:
I ran out of ideas... :( Can't reproduce this bug, and after lot of thinking I not found any possible problems. I compiled it with CM7 sources, but basically this can't be the problem because the recovery need only common files from the android source code (busybox source, tools for ext fs).

Absolutely latest idea: change the busybox in the ramdisk with one what compiled from JB source tree, or use the CWM recovery as busybox (move the CWM to the folder of TWRP, and make a symlink for it as busybox). I think this is a stupid idea, but sometime a stupid bug need stupid solution... ;):D
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] sgt. meow:
I'm testing the version with nAa's recovery now. And how and where would I link it? Is it something like

ln -s /recovery/CWM-recovery (will have to rename it because TWRP has the same name) busybox
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] pilu1978:
No, not use path because if you change the rootfs with chroot, the link will be broken.

Use it before use chroot (and after you moved the cwm recovery into /recovery/sbin)

cd /recovery/sbin

ln -s cwm busybox
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Daveee10:
@pilu: I'm using Twrp what built with JB, but the sd format bug still. I'm tried cwm 5.0.2.7, 5.5.0.4, 6.0.1.2 all from source and all files in ramdisk from latest builds. So idk why cwm works in nAa kernel and not in others... JBMini recovery is based on 5.5.0.4 but something remoced and ported how it's build with JB becahse the original not built... But when I built with ICS without modification the problem is same...

Trolled from my X8 using xda premium
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] pilu1978:
Latest+1 idea: make kernel without custom partitions (remove something from the rom to fit on 200MB or move something to /data or /cache and link to /system) and try to reproduce the format bug.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] sgt. meow:
@pilu1978

Building with CWM 5.5.0.4 doesn't let me take backups (stuck at backing up system for ten minutes; not showing any progress whatsoever). I don't think the partitions caused the sdcard format bug, as the last post on the 18th page says sdcard was lost after the user failed to backup via CWM touch 5.0.2.8. I'll still give it a shot.

The problem is now worsened as there are two possibilities now:

1. TWRP

2. CWM

It will be hard to find out the source of the problem.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] pilu1978:
I use cwm 5.0.2.7 (with twrp the touch ability of cwm not needed), and twrp 2.3.1.1, 2.3.2.3 and 2.3.3.0 without any problem (ok, I have problems with the latest twrp, but NOT with the sdcard :D)

Latest+2 idea: try to use twrp with unmodified nAa-JB (just put the twrp into /recovery partition)

Edit: oops, I wrote this idea earlier... :D
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] sgt. meow:
Hmmmm....will try 5.0.2.7. I don't see why people need to use cwm when there's twrp. Thanks for the suggestion though. :D

sgt i guess it will be good for everyone if you take down twrp version until it can be used as standalone.:angel:

Isn't it possible to remount sdcard as RO in bootrec so that data loss is avoided? And then somehow after boot remount it again as RW.

just once...no else got the format.. just me. ics kernel is not to be worried about. until someone else gets that bug. and my second Q is still unanswered "i still cannot understand why roms made of nAa-JB cannot be directly used on this kernel?":confused::confused:
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] sgt. meow:
I could try a little experiment to remove that ROM error. Not sure whether it'll be successful or not.

EDIT: And I myself never got the error on ICS. If no one failed to create backups in CWM with the ICS kernel, I think the cause of these errors here is the custom MTD partitioning. Just a guess.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] sgt. meow:
I changed the title to avoid problems.

@CnC

I think I'll keep TWRP. If more users have the problem, then there's a higher possibility of solving the problem. Having said that, users are on their own if they haven't met the requirements or followed the instructions correctly. Flash at your own risk!

[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] pilu1978:
@sgt. meow: yes, possible to mount sd as read only. But I think better if you not remount as rw. I will check the code, and find the events when need to write on sd. 1. Twrp write own settings to the sd (maybe need changes for remount as rw inside the twrp code) 2. Sd partitioning, but as I remember the sdparted not need any changes (unmount all partition before the partitioning start). 3. ??? (need to find all other writing on sd)
