[XPERIA X10 General] SXUsr:
+1. I love having mine rooted, and wouldn't look back. I joined the forum as I was new to Android and wanted to learn how to customize my phone to my liking, and still learning new things, tips and tricks.
[XPERIA X10 General] rvictorg:
just fyi...the X10 is almost impossible to brick, one thing you can thank SE for
[XPERIA X10 General] Bargsbeer:
Thanks for all the responses, This makes me way more comfortable. I love the hardware it's a beast of a phone. This is all a learning process for me I had a Nexus One that I eventually learned how to install ROMs with ROM manager, I'm hoping in time with the X10 I can do the same.

Just curious what SE apps or programs do all advise deleting?
[XPERIA X10 General] saltorio:
Yeah, even the guys who developed the root method didn't actually brick the X10 as they tried to crack it, from what I remember reading. The worst is that you get the yellow exclamation mark and then have to re-do the first step in the root method to bring you back to the original release firmware (016 iirc, or maybe 014).

I definitely agree with some of the other posters that you're much better off doing it yourself. Once you learn how it's pretty straightforward, and with new firmwares being released pretty often you won't want to pay someone every time to update your firmware.

Just read the root instructions a few times, make sure to download the files before you start, and take your time.
[XPERIA X10 General] shitnab:
The sony software is what makes the X10 an X10, why would you even want the phone then, besides its good looks ?
[XPERIA X10 General] cue_32:
The X10 and the Nexus One are identical in terms of its hardware, minus the camera MP. The Nexus One is a great learning tool for rooting and modifying an Android because its the closest you can get to Android OS straight up and Google allowed you to unlock the bootloader. I rooted the X10 as soon as it was made available and it was just as easy. I did get the yellow exclamation mark and getting it fixed was easy to.

Definitely, definitely root the phone yourself and learn things yourself, otherwise, get an iPhone and let Steve Jobs control your phone for you. :)
[XPERIA X10 General] saltorio:
Maybe it's the best phone your carrier offers (such as with Rogers), and you couldn't afford a new phone contract-free? Maybe you like the look? Maybe you wanted a phone with a 4" display and 8MP camera? There are lots of reasons to want the X10... the SE software is just one of them.

Not quite. Different amount of RAM, different amount of phone storage, different screen size, screen resolution, and touch digitizer.

SORRY!!!!!!!!!!!!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TMW597:
I am looking for a definitive way to COMPLETELY wipe a Samsung Galaxy S GT-I9000. I mean the equivalent of doing a full factory restore on a PC. I've noticed that no matter how many times I flash or factory reset that there are still remnants that remain. Files like the license for Titanium Backup, or just miscellaneous files. Is there a way to completely wipe the SD card clean first, then do a fresh flash? I really would like to know that the SD card is completely clean since I've flashed 3-5 different versions of firmware and not one has been stable. I just want a real fresh slate.

Please advise.

Thanks.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wfhowell:
setting>privacy>factory data reset. thats what i do...im assuming its a clean sweep.

If you have an sd card you have to reformat that as well.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daigoro64:
This will not format internal SD. After "factory data reset" you'll need at least to format this one as well.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllGamer:
Sounds like the OP wants to return the phone
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TMW597:
Ha, ha. Not even! This is the best phone I've owned to date when it's working properly. I am tired though of it crashing on me. I'll notice I'm not getting calls or email, then I check it and the phone has shut off. I'm also tired of flashing it every week, and spending days trying to get it back to the state I like it. (I wish there were better cloning apps that saved ALL of the settings including how you have the home screens set up, and all system preferences. It sucks having to reconfigure 10 email accounts, among other things.) I'm thinking if I can wipe it and start totally fresh it will help.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllGamer:
Glad to hear that, that's the spirit!

it just that recently we've been getting quite a few anti SGS fans in the mix, and many people are returning their phones.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TMW597:
Yeah, I have no intention of sending back my SGS. The good far outweighs the short list of negative items; those only being lack of flash and a poor battery life.

I just want a stable system! I'm going to keep searching for a fix.

Is there a difference between these three ways of reseting?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iammodo:
odin

best way is odin

do the full odin re-partition with pit

then flash the 3 files.

but you will still need to go into recovery and format the internal sd as pictures will still be safe on the internal sd.

What if you mount the phone as a storage device and "rm -rf" the sd-card(s) ?

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] urfase:
You may try rebooting your phone and while rebooting holding volume up, home, and power until you enter the factory menu mode. From there select "Format internal SD". That may be what you're looking for?

Same problem in wiping Galaxy Tab

Hello,

I am also completely unable to wipe it properly. downloaded apps (like amazon shopper) remain and function even after formatting internal SD storage, and wiping it like 10 times.

Very disappointing.

Any suggestions more than welcome.

Thanks.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] azzledazzle:
as mentioned above.

boot into recovery > mounts and storage > format system / cache / data / datadata/ sd card.

also do a factory reset, then wipe the dalvik cache.

flash rom thru odin with all 3 files and PIT

that will leave phone completely EMPTY
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theoscat:
i thought the factory reset in the CWM should be fine
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Boko19:
I have done that with the phone and its really empty cause it wont even start haha so what do i do now? how can i install somethin on it?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scubadude:
Personally I copy everything from my internal sd card on my pc into a samsung folder with that days date.

Then I then delete everything off the internal sd card.

From there I boot into recovery & format sd card. Then I do a factory reset, clear cache, clear dalvik cache and thats it. Everything gone. Now at least if I discover there is something I need missing I have it ready on my pc.

This saved me when I flashed an ICS Rom & lost my IMEI number. There it was sitting on my pc ready to go.

If you have flashed with Odin using the 3 files & the pit file with re-partition checked I've found that I often end up with the phone not starting. Usually a 2nd flash with the 3 files without the PIT file and re-partition unchecked and my phone is then fine.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mike_Doh:
Hello all,

love this site and have been reading your wisdom for a long time now but this is going to be my first post! :)

Will formatting every folder and the internal SD before flashing a custom ROM help me to stop loosing my IMEI/EFS? I have tried several ROMs now and every one looses my IMEI. I have backups of the EFS folder but even when I restore them the IMEI number doesn't come back unless I go back to a full stock system. (I.E the PIT, PDA, CSC and PHONE files in odin with top three boxes checked ) :(. I really want to put ICS Slim with semiphore kernel on as apart from not connecting to a network the phone runs so much better than it does on the stock gingerbread.

Hey, I have a problem. After using my PPC for about 1,5 years my battery-capacity got lower.

But my device turns of when there are still about 10-15% left. Maybe the battery lowered its capacity and WM doesn't care about it. I reinstalled my original WM5, but it still turns of. Sometimes I even get the message "Low Battery".

Anyone has a solution for this problem, or is it fixed by upgrading to wm6.x???

The one to buy depends on what carrier you're going to use it on...the T-Mobile version will only get 3G if you use it on the US T-Mobile network.

They're very similar otherwise, you just have to be careful not to use ROM's meant for the HTC HD2 if you're using the T-Mobile hardware.
