I gave my Exhibit 2 4G to my wife and need to do a factory data reset to remove all of my contacts, etc. I have tried several times (Settings-Privacy-Factory Data Reset) and a screen appears saying that the reset is taking place and the small blue icon starts spinning. But, nothing happens. I let it stay that way for over a half hour once and it just kept going. The phone is rooted with cwm.6012.t679 and has Peach Sunsrise ROM installed. Any help out there?
yea go to cwm and do a factory data reset from there

Kick back to your nand, delete the rom and gapps, redownload them and reflash. It's possible that you just got a bad dl of one or the other. Make sure you wipe data and dalvik. I had this issue once, banged my head on the wall and just decided to get rid of it all and try again.
Yes same for me the whole time it was a bad download good luck

Do you have any nandriod backups? If so, run the backup and see what happens.

i stuck with the same issue on my mytouch q but i dont have a nanoid, need help,
dont wanna buy a new phone
I've had my sgs for almost 1 year , and except for rooting it i didnt rly fiddle with it .
On new years eve night i noticed my phone was closed, and when i tried to open it , it started going in this endless restart loop where it would show me the Galaxy S gt-i9000 start up screen and then restart.I pulled out the battery and the problem got fixed, but now it's happening again and it seems i cant fix it.
I read on the forums that this might indicate an internal sd card failure, and if thats the case is there any way of getting my data back?
Power the phone down then push the on button.
Then hold down the home key, the on key, and the left key in the down position and it will give you a fresh boot and upload the original settings.......
You will lose all your pics and numbers etc so I hope you have it backed up..

that will get you in the download mode...
If you are indeed rooted a last resort can be downloading the 2.3.5 stock rom from Sam mobile.. Put your phone into download mode as that guy said, there are lots of tutorials about this online then use odin to flash. As I say this is a last resort if nothing else works.

Use 3 button combo to recovery (Volume up + Home + Power) and do a factory reset and wipe cache. You will see them from the menu. You will not going to lose your personal data. You will just have to install the apps again.
At first don't make factory reset. Try first to wipe Cache, dalvik Cache and fix permissions (all from the recovery). If it doesn't help try flash new Rom (no wipe) or make factory reset. If this don't help either try flashing a 3 file Rom with pit and repartition.

Doing a factory reset won't wipe your pics and all.. it'll just wipe the 2GB partition that is used for rom and apps.. your pics are stored on the separate 6GB/14GB partition and that is not affected when you do a factory reset.. all your contacts, messages and applications etc will be wiped though..

If you have gone into recovery and cleared cache, dalvik cache and fixed permissions, then the only option available now is to factory reset in recovery. You will NOT lose any pictures or music on your sd card. You will however, lose your installed apps, their data, your phone numbers and messages. Hopefully you have your numbers backed up with google or at least stored on your sim.
If this doesn't work, you will need to flash a new rom with odin. It's a 5 minute job once you've downloaded everything required.

Did as you said and its still not working, because i still have my waranty il take it to the " pros" instead of flasing a new rom.
Only way is to flash a fresh stock rom via Odin since factory reset wouldn't work for you.

Mate, all they will do (all they CAN do) is flash a new rom........ But, whatever - it's your phone and time.
Hmm,
I'm not quite sure what's happening but factory resetting the phone through the settings menu itsself does absolutely nothing ... it shuts down the phone and EVERY SINGLE SETUP (wifi, calendar, apps, everything) is still there after reboot ...
Same happened to factory reset through CWM 6.2.0.8 ... I flashed another rom after wiping it (took long long long time +-20 mins or so I think) and everything is still there, wifi, apps, you name it...
Can't think of doing anything wrong here
Problem with my Z or ... got no clue

wel not exactly
yesterday I tried wiping through CWM in order to install another rom (romamur), weird this was all my apps were still present ...
thought they'd be gone, but they weren't, so I though "hey, perhaps something changed (came from galaxy S2
now today I tried it through the reset option in the settings menu, it said to remove apps and such, guess what, nothing happened, everything still there ...
note: I'm on stockbased rom (romamur, came from deodexed rom first)
no clue what's happening
Anyone ? :/
I'm using this method http://forum.xda-developers.com/not...uide-odin-to-stock-unrooted-firmware-t2957156 to wipe and restore my phone to stock. But when it boots back up it still has my wallpaper and accounts setup, apps still there. I thought this method would completely wipe the phone so I could start over (too many restoring back to nandroids).
Thanks
You have to do a factory reset + the thing you already did.

For some reason I didn't think we had to do that, thanks.
I love my new Note 4, but I experience twice in the last week of this new phone that is says: Samsung Keyboard has stopped working and then the keyboard would be stuck at the bottom of the screen. After trying to fix it for a few seconds, it would reboot itself. Anyone else has this problem? Solutions?
Try clearing the cache maybe that will help.
im also having the same exact problem after updating to lollipop. I've wiped cache in boot and all it did was cause one of my chargers to not fast charge anymore. but my keyboard is still crashing atleast 5 times a day. this happens whenever I long press and letter for a symbol, it doesnt matter what app im in, if i try to type a symbol through shortcut by long pressing a letter, 4 out of 5 times my keyboard will crash. I've been trying to find the solution to this but no luck.

I bet that all three of you did not do a full and complete wipe including factory reset
before you odin flashed the new lollipop COD6 firmware.
If that was the case then go into twrp recovery and do a full wipe including factory reset
but don't reboot the phone, navigate twrp to the "download mode" option and click that
and then get odin ready and re-flash the phone with the lollipop firmware.
A full wipe always includes system,data,cache,dalvik cache and last but not least factory reset.
Be sure to do a nandroid backup in twrp before flashing anything.
Good luck!

Thanks for the advice! I just checked my baseband. It is COD6 and I did do wipe cache when I update it from 4.4 to 5.0.1. If the random reboot show up again, I'll do factory reset + full wipe
