Hi first of all i'm sorry if this is a wrong section of the forum to ask question, if so i hope mod can help move to correct section. And if the question already been asked and answered i hope you can point me to the thread. Thanks.

Question 1: Some of china phone i own i believe doesn't really do factory reset. Everytime i do factory reset it still left apps that i download from Play Store. Perhaps /data/ partition? Can someone kind enough to guide me correct way to do full factory reset of the devices that just like new?

Question 2: Some of the china phone i own always changes mac address 00:08:22:xx:xx:xx every boot. How can i prevent this? possible?

Question 3: I follow the guide to flash CWM Recovery to model below (GT-N9000) but the CWM is upside down / inverted? How to fix this? Or perhaps someone can share me CWM Recovery for all the devices below?

Question 4 Would someone kind enough to share/upload/point me to the latest clean ROM for below devices, Im sorry i don't know the maker.

Thanks!
1. Go into recovery, select factory reset and approve. Then wipe dalvik, cache, data. Do NOT wipe system. If downloaded apps are remaining after this, yes it's very strange. Is this the procedure you're following? Sometimes the system ROM will have 'external' apps as part of the ROM, so make sure it's not these that you're talking about. I mean, download something completely fresh that's surely not already part of the ROM.

2. This can be fixed. See this post [Only registered and activated users can see links Click here to register] , and [Only registered and activated users can see links Click here to register]

3. So this is not the exact CWM for your phone and firmware version. See the CWM tutorials. There are several here.

4. See needrom.com for your firmware needs.
