Ivan Klikovac says
I REALLY need help from someone. ANYONE! I have ClockWorkMod and I found Backup and Restore, but there are just some backups I don’t even need anymore. There, it just says like:
————————–
Backup
————————–
Restore
————————–
Advanced Restore
————————–
I don’t see anything that has something to do with “Wipe”! Please help pleaseeeeee!!!!!! Actually, my phone is half-bricked, because it won’t start Android 4.4.3 I currently have on it. It just starts the CWM. I hope that’s enough.
Mysterious says
Dear Ivan klikovac, I am not sure what you should do. Take the phone to a professional. If phone cannot be fixed and I’m sorry too tell you this but you might need to get a new phone or get another copy of your phone. Thank you from mysterious

In my previous comment I said sites like these are rubbish and I wish to correct that it is informative an useful on alot of topics I just feel that when it starts to advise on reprogramming your handsets that it is not being of mind that alot of people are goin to make mistakes and really mess or shut there phones down with no going bk so beware if you are not an expert who fully comprehends what to do just leave alone you might regret it an end up having to buya new phone
Gary Seward says
I have samsung young at moment an as for upgrades an rooting I dont know why people feel the need for this once done even success fully there will be aspects that do not work asvthey should or did before my advice get a better phone or leave things be its a good little phone an you risk all that wen u dont need too an sites like this are a load of rubbish stay away

jon says
it’s not really an ics update. it’s just a heavily modded gingerbread rom that is made to look like ics. even the android version was changed to make it appear like it’s an ics version… be careful of doing this if you don’t know how to reflash your phone back to the original stock rom.
