the dbdata file is corrupted.
1) download this file
http://forum.xda-dev...98&d=1290261479
2) extract it
3) use Odin to flash it under the PDA option
-make sure repartition is UNCHECKED
-do not select any pit file
-leave everything else the same
hi, i got a question, maybe its stupid but i've tried searching and cant find it anywhere.
so my hermes 2.0.1 tab p1000 is under my Google account. and since i've bought the P7500, i'm trying to give the p1000 to my wife. made some google account for her.
the problem:
- i've reset to factory default, no luck (through settings)
- i've reset to factory default, usb format no lick (through settings)
- i've wiped through recovery CWM. still no luck
basically after all above, my programs are still there, my account is also there, and now my tab wont show the flight mode, and data mode when pressed power.. only show the overcome added menu (reboot, recovery, etc)
so any lights on this? should i reflash? i'm confused because all my stuffs is still there in the tab... and i want to clean it up.. hopefully without resorting to reflash.
How are you going into recovery? When the tab is off, hold in power, hold volume up, when you see samsung let go of power. The factory reset will take out everything.
When you reboot, the set up screens should be confirmation of a complete wipe.
Or you could flash the wipe version of overcome rom.
sorry my bad..
i just pressed the recovery option in tab menu.
then it shows different kind of recovery menu... (blue color)
when i do power+up it shows an orange color cwm.. and this one works.. sorry for thetrouble
It's no trouble, it's a good discovery.

I have a Verizon Galaxy Tab SCH-I800 and I woke up today and it was missing some programs that I had installed the night before. Launcher pro keeps crashing so I had to put the Samsung Launcher back on. Now random programs all keep crashing and locking up the device. I performed a factory reset through settings -> privacy -> perform factory reset.
It restarts and goes to the samsung bootloader and I performed wipedata/factory reset.. It says it does it but when it restarts its in the same condition as before.
I've booted directly to the bootloader and tried it too (volume up and power key). I've also tried to wipe cache with no luck..
Any ideas? Can I root it and put a custom rom on it? I saw that there really aren't any roms for the Verizon tabs.. Any reason why?
Thanks for any help..
I just did a restore with all the stock verizon firmware using heimdall and it flashed and everything went through properly..
I booted into recovery and wiped data/cache and restarted...
SAME THING! It will NOT wipe out my existing data.. It restarts with all of my old programs installed and NOTHING will work.. The OS is hosed. How can I wipe this thing back to factory??

I changed my passwords on Facebook, Twitter and Gmail. After about 30 minutes the tablet finally stopped bringing up my information.
Need help!
Same to me...
I've tried to uninstall some apps several time, GTab automatically rebooted and these apps are still there...
Could anyone solve this issue?

I'm in the same boat..half my apps crash when you try to open them. I've wiped the data partition 3 times, and the cache as well..not avail. Apps are still on the device after a master reset!

I had that problem, and I wound up sending it back to Samsung. It appeared to be a bad part on the board, so they replaced it and it's on its way back now. Not the answer you want, I'm sure, but call it in and get your RMA number.

On your new Tab can you perform a hard reset and have it actually work?
my sprint Tab seems to be in the same boat
I am trying to install Dexter's ElocityMod v1.41, and running into two problems.
The easy and final problem is this: how do I know if the mod was successful or not? How can I verify that the A7 is running ElocityMod v1.41.
The confusing problem and first problem I have is this.
I power the machine up, and use the procedure ElocityMod v1.42 thread to enter the Recovery Menu
I press home and see the menu
I select Wipe/factory reset
BUT
At that point I am presented with the following:
Android system recover <1e>
Confirm wipe of all user data?
THIS CAN NOT BE UNDONE.
No
No
No
No
No
No
No
Yes -- delete all user data
No
No
No
E:recovery.c Can't open /cache/recovery/command
Formatting MISC:...
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
So this confuses me. I have a few questions.
Do I want to wipe the user data? What will I lose by doing so?
I can move up and down selecting each list item. Do I want to press MENU and wipe each one?
Or do I want to wipe only the first item?
Or do I want to wipe only the user data?
And what is that stuff at the bottom about can't open a cache recovery command and formatting MISC:?
And finally, is the Elocity A7 easy to brick, or hard to brick and easy to recover from?
Thanks so much
Jerry
What I did when flashing was wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition, and then apply sdcard:update.zip. I did the same thing for 1.41, 1.42 and the xbox controller patch. Wiping should erase all data and programs on your tablet. I am not sure how hard it is to brick this tablet but as long as the files you download from that thread don't get corrupted in the download process you should be fine. And even then I think you should easily be able to just turn it off and get back into recovery to flash again.
Thanks, I deleted the user / data partition, and actually did not apply the update (accidentally) and just rebooted to find that the tablet booted up just fine, looking reinitialized to factory defaults.
So I tried again, and this time applied the update, and it worked just fine.
And success seems to be self-evident, in this case, coming up, being asked to setup a "phone", and signing into a google account, and eventually seeing a lot more apps in the drawer, specifically including the market.
One other tip though, you can't sign into your google account until you setup a wifi channel. The tablet wants you to do it the other way around.
And just a note for google 2 step authentication users, if you do use 2 step authentication, then when signing in to an existing google account on the tablet, you do need to use a google application specific password.
yeah kind of dumb it asks for a google login when you don't even have wifi setup. you can also check the what version you have by going into settings and clicking about.
Hi guys,
I've flashed the last 4.3 Germany ROM on my i9505 and everithink is ok/official including know (0x0)...
Now I'd like to cleanup and restore to the factory settings my S4 but I'm not sure that "restore to factory setting" in the options will do exactly what I'd like. If I'm not wrong it doesn't delete all my data in the sotrage. Am I wrong?
How can I be sure to had cleand up all my stuff without ODIN reflash and/or modified recopvery? I don't want to trigger the knox....

First be sure to remove your external sdcard if you have one in the phone.
Then turn the phone on normally (no odin, no recovery and no reflash).
Then go into settings>accounts>backup and reset> then click on the very
last entry on the accounts screen which says: "Factory data reset".
Doing that will wipe EVERYTHING including email accounts/emails
phone numbers, user flashed or installed apps, games and so on.
It will also wipe any pictures, videos, documents, music files and mms.
After doing the above you can be assured that the phone is in stock
condition and has nothing personal in it.
Have a great day!

On my last phone I've made it but I've found that on internal sdcard there was still some app data and folder and when I've installed some app the settings was still there..... strange!

you will have the same with the method above.
not 100% if stock recovery has this, but besides the factory reset you have to format the internal data. It works from custom recoveries for sure.
as an alternative, you can manually delete all the folders in internal card and do the factory reset again.
of course, the external card you either remove or format aswell (from phone menu or recovery).
Ok here is the situation....
I soft-bricked my D802 after simply restarting the phone today (stuck on loading screen). Dunno how it happened but it did. Luckily, I thought, I had a recovery file from TWRP.....restored it....didn't work.
So I said, 'oh well, let's just update it anyway'. So I did a simple factory reset using TWRP, and installed the latest CM12.
Not I can get into the Android System, but all my apps....gone! I am pretty sure I didn't delete the files because when I look into the settings, the harddisk space is still taken up. Also, when the new CM12 initiated it said 98 apps upgrading. So I'm pretty sure the apps are there.
The problem is, all of them are now gone. What's worse, all GAPPS except Gmail are gone too. There is no way to do anything about it even after I reflashed GAPPS.
Desperately needing help.
Factory reset in recovery delete your apps.

Use a file manager and look to see if you have more than one sdcard. This happened to me. The folder is called 0 everything should be in there
i checked manually for upates, 15 minutes ago. It showed me that an system update is avaible.
Update installed, rebooted and here starts the wierd things.
-Phone boots up but the only thing im able to access is the ''edge'' bar where is the edge people and other fun features.
-Pressing volume button down will bring the boot menu with : reboot, shutdown etc..
-Tried to boot in safe mode. no luck, only the safe mode bar appears in the left.
-Wiping cache, no luck.
-Not rooted. Stock.
Only thing that i installed outside the play store is the samsung lab application wich is shared here in the forums because its not avaible for s6 edge+ for some reason in the samsung's app store.
I managed to boot in recovery mode and this text took my attention : mmb29k.g928fxxs3bqa9 (frimware codename?) 6.0.1 android version
Made factory reset, works now but lots of important data (pictures, music etc..) lost in that.
I made an google search with mmb29k.g928fxxs3bqa9 and found nothing.
(edit: In the download folder, there seems to be a file with the rom build number/number)
Yeah I had the same problem, posted about it in the general forum. I flashed another stock ROM ontop of it from Sammobile and it saved me from doing the factory reset.

they are still sharing it.
Someone who's phone updated correctly needs to make these guys a firmware they can flash back with Odin otherwise they won't be able to find anything that works. (no downgrades allowed)
Make sure you backup what you can. Export contacts, everything on Phone when you connect your computer can be copied in/out, if you didn't know. App data will have to be individually backed up.
