Hi there

Although this is my first post, I am regular visitor of this forum since Defy's devs started porting CM and finaly is time to make a post (need a help :) ).

I have decided to flash Omars ROM but wanted to do nandroid backup first. My phone is encrypted due to exchange policy so I've backup my apps and wanted to do factory reset. For some reason I can't (neither through settings, stock recovery or CWM). When hit wipe data in CWM and confirm, all I get is:
wiping data
formatting /data
error mounting /data!
skipping format
formatting /cache
formatting /sd-ext
formatting /sdcard/.android_secure
error mounting /sdcard/.android_secure!
skipping format
data wipe complete
...and everything is as before it.

I was thinking to flash sbf through RSD lite but wanted to ask if somebody had similar problem (I am not even sure if it is encryption related or not) which can be solved easily?

Thanks

//edit: because I couldn't figure out what was blocking factory reset, RSD did the job just right and now everything works great again (and custom rom is finally in)
