Hi!
I installed original firmware downloaded from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2375409&nocache=1 for my GT-I9192 but when i checked system directory with root explorer, my files were still there. please tell me how to format everything before flashing. (i am flashing with odin 3.07). I think Pit file is in tar.md5 file (which i downloaded from that link). Will Nand erase all fix my problem? (also, My phone is rooted)
Thanks!

Go to recovery ( vol up + home + power )
Make factory reset ( all ur data will be erased )
If this will not help u please give a sign.

Just delete the files in sdcard0. Its your phone's internal SD card that you're looking at which contains the files.

Thanks for ur replay i already did that.. but same problem. my file is still there. it only deletes files inside /data and /system also /chache... i have my files in root directory and they are not deleting.. when im doing recovery, i think program does not delete old files and just overrights them... any way to format everything and do firmware restore?
Thanks

thanks but that is not my problem actually.... i dont have SD card at all. When i do factory reset, it deletes SD card internal memory and so one... but it not deletes for example Root directory... i want to format everything (Andoid System Files) and then do restore. Can tou tell me the solution?
Thanks!
