I was previously on Sho's # 3 and had a major melt down updating to 1.5. Here is my issue. At the same time, I knew I had a crappy USB port. When my flash went awry ( maybe the usb shorted and caused it ??) I couldn't get past the "grey battery". Today I installed a new USB and still had the "grey battery". I was able to jig to d/load and flashed Creepy's one click back to stock. That went well until it trys to boot. It goes into a constant "google" error of various descriptions. ( perhaps since I couldn't reset it has corrupted files ??) My question. How can you do a total clean install, including formating to wipe any remnants?

( I also thought an odin install did just that, I guess I was wrong ?)

Thanks, it wasn't even allowing me to get a menu. Somehow I got lucky last night and I managed to get a recovery screen...now I just need to start to reflash back to Sho
