[Q] factory data reset

i updated my s2 into the ics rooted. what will happen if i do the 'factory data reset' in the settings of the ICS. will it just wipe my internal card or go back to the gingerbread build?

No it will not. You'll still be on ics and whatever rom your using. Also, I wouldn't suggest you do a factory reset from within the phone or you can have complication. Boot in to recovery and factory reset from there.

unroot t989 ics
Currently rooted t989 and I want to unroot, will factory data reset in can do that?

factory reset

2 questions:
1. After ICS to JB hboot upgrade; factory reset would bring the phone back to ICS or just factory reset?
2. Factory reset formats the sd card?

You will still have jb.And you will wipe the sd also if you factory reset .I would recommend backing up music and photo's to your pc first

Cannot Disable Encryption

Hey guys I was running a nightly of CM 10.1 and enabled full disk encryption with a pin. I decided to rebuild my phone so I flashed a new ROM through CWM however when it booted it was asking for the encryption password. The pin that I used previously won't work. I've tried re-flashing, factory reset (CWM), and ODINing the phone back to stock. None of which removes the encryption. Wtf do I do?

Only way I know of -- factory reset after booting up

I can't factory reset from the ROM now because it won't accept my PIN.

From everything I've read and seen, once a device is encrypted the only way out is to ODIN back to the stock ROM.

Just boot into recovery like twrp and wipe data, the button in the bottom left of the screen in the wipe menu

Nope. I did it when on stock. A simple factory reset set it right.

Yes however as he stated already he factory reset in CWM and it did nothing. On top of that since he flashed a new ROM the device no longer accepts his PIN once booted so factory reset from within the settings menu is a no go. Thus ODINing back to stock is the only way.

This is really weird guys.. I ODIN'd the SECOND time to 4.0.4 and it fixed it. When I odin'd stock 4.1.1 it was still encrypted.....

Old thread but I restored stock recovery and that cleared encryption. Could not clear encryption with clockwork, philz, or TWRP.

Anyway to reset thr ouya to factory

Okay silly question. I have my ouya modded and google play installed but keep having issues. In the event I get tired of trying to resolve these issues. Will performing a simple factory reset completely wipenaway all these mods or will I need to reflash the firmware? And if its a reflash of official firmware where would I obtain the file(s) to do so.
Thank you in advance

First it depends on what mods you've done. Like factory reset won't undo xposed framework or anything you've put into /system. All it does is wipe your data.

[Q] I need a COMPLETE wipe + Factory. Help?

Between using different 4.1.2 ROM's and then wiping everything when Tweaked wigged out and f'ed up the phone with tons of popups and such, freezing and just getting sick of it... I decided to use one of the Android 4.3 FACTORY images - unroot, format EVERYTHING (I mean, EVERYTHING), and us Odin to install the factory image... the phone works fine for 2 days and with nothing on it, the thing pops up saying android.media and google play servgices has stopped working... I'm so tired of this, how do I just go completely BLANK SLATE and back to 100% factory? I thought I did that, but apparently not...

I'm not saying that you didn't, but did you try a simple reboot?
Maybe try also a factory reset.
