I have the 2.2 leaked Rom and I am missing the Talk to text button on keyboard since the update. I was told somewhere else that a factory reset may fix this. If i do do a factory reset, will it reset my phone to 2.2 or to the version of when i got my phone?

What does this actually do to a rooted phone running 2.2 android? Will this unroot the phone? Hard reset is the same as restore to factory settings right?
Will not unroot. It will wipe all user info, apps, settings etc.
+1 on bender's comments. Did several hard resets the other night and kept root through all of them.
to a rooted phone, the rooted build is the factory settings. doesnt do ****.
I don't know where to put this, search turned up nothing.
I took the Google factory yakju 4.0.4 image and flashed everything, except the radio which I replaced with UGLC1, then struggled for another hour to regain root. At end of the day data and apps are mostly restored, I have root again, but the soft home button now no longer do anything anywhere!
Anything to try before factory resetting the phone?
I'd factory reset... Did it work before you attempted rooting? Or hadn't worked since you flashed yakju?
I think the problem started after flashing. I was on yakju 4.0.2 before, flashed in mostly similar way, and I had no problems then.
Solved by yet another factory reset... Sigh
Solved by yet another factory reset... Sigh. At least it can receive calls again..
I kept the UGLC1 baseband.
I'm just flashing one yakju image after another while trying to keep my phone's data intact. How come each flash has become this tedious?
Hello,
Couldn't find any threads about an issue I am having. I did a factory reset on JB 4.1.1, and lost the Sound Search widget. I've done numerous resets, flashed 4.0.4 and updated OTA, and still have not gotten it back.
Anyone have solutions?
Thank you!
Hi everyone,
Looking for a solution to my stock, unrooted M8. Carrier - EE.
Android 6.0/Sense 7.0. Software 6.12.61.4
Have had the phone nearly two years so undertook a factory reset to clear it out. Initiated factory reset through settings in the normal UI.
Factory reset completed. Got the welcome screen etc. However, no nav bar, no status bar (with clock, battery at top), and no notification pull-down. Black screen (no default wallpaper), but all standard apps present.
Attempted factory reset again from bootloader. This time, as soon as it booted to the home screen, I got the error com.android.systemui has stopped unexpectedly. Regardless of whether I pressed "send" or "don't send" error report to HTC, the error message disappears and it begins to flash between a black screen and the default sense 7.0 wallpaper - but no sign of apps, icons, etc. The power button is responsive and displays the power off/restart options.
Reset a third time from stock recovery menu. Same result. Have also tried clearing cache, etc.
Weirdly, it optimises what I take to be a number of default apps each time during the factory reset - don't know if that's normal or not.
I'm assuming that my copy of the OS in the recovery partition has got buggered up somehow. But I'm new to this whole flashing/rooting business and most of the guides I've found seem to presuppose that I'm trying to get back to stock from having rooted my phone and installed something else, and I don't really understand them.
So -
1. any ideas about what's happened/how to fix it? I've spoken with HTC but they want me to send it in. 2-3 weeks!
2. assuming that I just need to reinstall a clean version of the software, how do I go about doing that? How do I know what the right version is, and where do I get it? Can I reinstall it without rooting the phone and installing a custom bootloader?
I did have a hunt through previous threads. The closest I found was this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/help/ui-htc-one-m8-t3024485 but it still leaves me uncertain about how to find the right software and actually install it.
Thanks very much in advance.

Okay, solved - somehow.
Formatted and removed SD card, just in case. Factory reset again, no joy.
Then also removed sim card, and factory reset again from stock recovery. This time performed cache wipe immediately before factory reset - whereas before I'd wiped cache, restarted, confirmed error still present, then factory reset as a second step.
Systemui and nav/status/pull-down bars all present as normal this time.
I find it hard to believe that the presence of the sim card could have made a difference, so I assume that the cache wipe and then immediate restart did the job.
Anyway, resolved now. Happy days.
Anyone else experienced this? Any ideas on a fix? I need my phone for my business, and this is severly hampering it right now. My phone is currently locked for the next hour. It won't even let me restart by normal means. A hard restart worked, but it reset the timer from 53 minutes back to 60 minutes.
60 minutes passed, and I was able to unlock it. Currently have swipe to unlock/0 security on it, which isn't ideal, because now I can't have my work email on it. I guess I'll just roll with it that way until the next software update or until someone finds a fix.
some app may be the culprit
try to uninstall latest installed apps
also try to reset all settings
last resort: factory reset with full data wipe
I'd try wiping cache partition from recovery and if still the same odin a stock firmware then last resort factory reset
Pretty sound advice already given. I had a similar issue with an update in the past and was able to get it back with a Cache Wipe via Bootloader. I almost reset it, but I did a cache wipe, booted phone like normal, used it for an hour and wiped again. No more stuttering or locking up and I didn't have to factory reset.
Not an identical situation, but worth a try.
