So since my coming here, i got the phone rooted and added a sense rom to it from virtous version 1.0.1, also its over clocked a lil bit
now the phone was never right since the get go with this... but what im wondering is if i do a factory reset, what will happen? since i didnt save any image before, and have nothing to revert back too.... will it revert back to the stock htc desire z rom, or will it just reset back to a proper version of the virtous rom??
i only ask , cause so far my internet still doesnt work well, my bluetooth is always dropping calls, my market still doesnt work etc.....
any help/info would be great
Cheers all
If you wipe data/factory reset it will revert back to.... nothing. And stay and the HTC screen. Just DLa new ROM and flash through recovery(CWM). After you wipe data/factory rest... before you reboot.
I'm really digging meXdroidMod right now give it a try. (No sense though)

Don't forget to wipe your dalvic cache aswell.

Actually, I thought a factory reset simply wiped your data and cache partitions (so you lose all of your downloaded apps as well as all phone settings). Everything else should be left untouched (as in the phone will boot back to Virtuous 1.0.1 as if it were freshly installed).
Also, the dalvik-cache is stored on the data partition (unless you or the ROM you are using decided to move it), so wiping data will wipe it anyway.
ummm ok so which is the correct one here... i was under the impression that the last post here is what would happen... it would revert to a fresh installed Virtuous rom....
I know the problems im having must be from me not doing a full wipe when i installed it... i just needed to back up some stuff before i was able to do that,
but since i have done all that, I can clean the phone and start fresh, to hope all my stuff will work...
but can someone pls confirm which is the right information here
On my g2 when I did a wipe it went back to the stock rom that's on the g2 perm rooted I can't say for your phone though the best thing is to download a new rom system and cache wipe and then install a new rom

Factory reset only wipes the applications/personal data. The system partition (whatever rom you installed) stays there and it'll just reboot as if it was the first time ever.
So if you have a rooted stock rom, it'll go back to how you got it (probably non-rooted) and if you have any version of virtuous that'll still be there etc and will boot like the first time.
Factory reset also DOESN'T touch the bootloader, radio, radio, s-on/s-off or anything else, just the user data. Hope this helps to clarify!
yes it does, im hoping this will fix all the problems im having with my phone....
and just to confirm, a factory reset with the virturous rom installed, will reset my phone to the way the rom is ment to me, with zero possible overlaps from not doing a wipe when i upgraded??
So a "fresh" copy of the virtuous rom will be in place, and it will be like a brand new phone again.... then i just re add everything i need too/want too

So I just flashed Juggernaut 3.69 to my GS2 and after it was all done I was very surprised to see many of the T-Mobile apps still on the phone. I was even more surprised to see that I didn't have to go through the setup process again. It even remembered my Google account info. Have I missed something here? Every other device I have ever flashed completely overrode the stock ROM with the custom ROM, why has that not happened here? I want that T-Mobile crap gone!
It should cone with an app called "bloater" you can remove those apps from there. And did you wipe data/factory reset? If not that is probably why your gmail is still there
There is enough hate in the world. Why can't we all get along here ...?

I followed the instructions to a "t" and they didn't say to wipe data/factory reset. I did see bloater after I posted this. I'll do the factory reset and see what happens. I just don't see how a custom ROM can flash over a stock ROM and the device still retain previous settings. If the stock ROM was truly erased I would expect a clean slate when the custom ROM has finished installing.
Wiping data is a choice, you can if you want, but it's not frowned apron if you don't lol

Oh, no you don't NEED to factory reset, I'm just saying that is why your account was still there.

i don't know about you guys
but every time i upgrade Juggernaut from version to version, i need to do a full wipe, else it just constant FC or reboots
that's the great benefit of Ti, just hit restore all, come back in a few minutes, done!

The only time I've wiped my phone was when I test a different ROM on my phone. I use juggernaut as my daily and I don't wipe when updating... No FC or reboots here

If I don't wipe, I feel my battery drains faster than it normally would if I did wipe. So, I always wipe just in case
please help me
I try about 3 roms and when I try to install new app the device reboot..
what should I do ??? please help me X_x
Which roms did you use?
Model: Wildfire S A510e
Recovery: unofficial CWM
Rom: JxMatteo_ROM_V1. 1 with Link2sd - OC - Rooted
apparently freezes and reboots can be a problem if you forget to clear everything before installing custom roms....so you need to do factory reset, clear all cache, clear dalvik cache or whatever it's called, then install rom.
this didn't actually work for me when i tried to put CM7 on my phone, i've ended up clearing it all, formatting evrything and just going back to stock because CM7 was so unstable on my phone.
but if you forgot to clear everything when you first installed, try that first?
Hope you get it going. If not, you can also install stock, but you can still partition the sd card and use link2sd to give you basically a gig of "internal" storage (it lets you install pretty much all apps to the 2nd partition on the sd card. running very well now on mine.
I was just about to create a thread about this problem. I flashed m1ndh4x8r's ROM onto my device after a bad experience with the CM7 nightly, fully wiped, permissions fixed. I was on that exact same ROM the day before flashing CM7 and it was working perfectly, did everything it said it would, apps installed just fine. And the first time I installed that ROM, I didn't wipe a single thing.
So, now I'm thinking we should revert to the stock ROM, then flash this one back over it with no wipes, then if that doesn't work, revert to stock again and try flashing the ROM the proper way, wipes and all.
I'll try fixing this every way I can. I'll tell you if I find a fix for myself that you could use as well

is a type of rom... currently cm7.2 stable build... CM stands for cyanogenmod
check this site: cyanogenmod.com
Pretty much every ROM ever made says be sure to wipe EVERYTHING. They put that there for a reason. The only time time you MIGHT get away with not wiping is if your flashing the exact same ROM you just had. Then and only then, you might get away without wiping your dalvik.

Idk, the ROM worked fine for me, even though I think I didn't wipe anything. When I did wipe the phone before flashing, there was a problem. Though it could just be my device and my bad luck
God hates me, I don't know why I even bother living anymore -.-
EDIT: My faith in God is restored. Just flash this ROM instead. You'll be happy with it and it works just fine for me. Also, wipe EVERYTHING I can't agree that you always have to wipe everything, since not wiping actually solved a problem I had with CM7, but I think that was just an isolated case.
Well i messed up oin this one, i tried to put a new lockscreen onto my EVO and deleted the .apk, and now im in a bootloop can anyone help me get out of this? is my phone screwed, and if i unroot can i still take it to sprint so they can fix it?

Flash the same ROM you were using. It should restore things. If that does not work, then just do a full wipe.
I already attempted to do a full wipe, and i was on the 2.3.3 stock ROM still. Maybe im missing how to do the full wipe, i am quite new to this, but dont you go into recovery mod and wipe everything through there because that sent me into boot loop again

Yes you wipe partitions in Recovery. Once you do that all you have to do is reflash the ROM.
This link will take you to the latest EVO Stock ROMs available:

I would pick the ODEX option.
PM me if I could be of more help.
Good Luck
If reflashing your ROM doesnt work then you most likely did something else that you didnt realize.
Well i wiped bloody everything haha. Trying ROM flash now, would it be ok if i tried to flash an entirely new ROM?
Yeah flash a brand new ROM and see if that fixes the problem. If it doesnt then you may have screwed something else up. Or there is some kind of hardware malfunction going on with your motherboard.
Once wiped, flash a ROM. You must wipe before flashing a ROM. Wipe system, cache, dalvik cache, data before flashing. I think one other but I forget

reflashing a new rom ,maybe can solve the problem^
Ok rooted my DHD about week ago with AAHK have now try 3 diffrence roms. the newest rom (icecold sandwish) is doing so weird things once in allpications settings phone was showing only like every 3th letter or so and some where was only some mess reboot fixed this. also have got some random crushes but had some with original 2.3.5. Also had some weird battery problems used battery to 0% loaded up to 100% and when started phone it says was still 0% and switching off stucked on screen replug battery fixed this.
batween on 1 and 2 rom didint clear cache did only factory reset between 2-3 (current) did full clear so wondering is my phone now bit mess cos didint do the cache and dalvik cache between 1 and 2 or is it normal to do some little bugs?
just wondering as i have now custom rom can i have back my original android what was in before root if it havent been backuped?
and last when you press power and - volum at start screen is hboot recovery and factory reset what will it do actually the same as in recovery or will it reset the devise to same state as it was when i 1st got it ?
Ty All!
Do not do the factory reset - it will only make things really bad.
When in recovery, before flashing a rom:
Wipe data/factory reset
Wipe dalvik
Format all partitions (except sd card)
That will make sure a good install of whatever rom you choose.
All ics roms are buggy. The devs are still working on them.
Suggestion: flash a gb rom.
You should be able to find a stock rooted rom if thats what you want.

One you need to full wipe and then flash rom. On ice cold the messed up letters no need to reboot its the launcher so go into launcher setting and restart launcher should fix issue. If your on ice cold see if you have the cfs kernel or bfs kernel cfs is known to cause reboots. As for hboot you can enter recovery that way do not wipe factoey reset there without a rom on sd to flash. It erases everything and if you don't have a rom to flash after your will regret it and be back here asking why phone won't turn on.

Hi, in the last minutes i've flashed the 2.7 build of LiquidSmooth Rom from the Paranoid Hello Halo rom... I've done the prcedure like XDA said : Wipe Wipe Wipe (cache, dalvik, system) Flash Rom Flash Gapps. It booted fine but all my apps that i've had on my previous rom was still there... all of them. The most disturbing is my settings were also like I've left them ( disabled pie wifi etc) also my Google Accound was already setuped and good to go. Is it a new feature from flashing 4.2.2 rom to an other 4.2.2 rom ? I've never seen that before. I've also rebooted to make sure it wont boot loop on reboot, and it booted like a charm!
Any clues ?
Weird, never seen that before. Tell us what recovery you have and exactly what you are wiping. Can't think of anything else at the moment I'm sure others will chime in.
Sounds to me like you're not wiping /data. This is where your apps and setting are stored and unless you factory reset using stock recovery, deliberately wipe/format /data, or flash a Rom that wipes it for you, all your apps and settings will remain.
Seems like normal behavior to me.

Ya I re-read it and he just wipes caches and system, definitely need to factory reset lol.

Got it that's why. I was sure wiping system would wipe data too. But do you think its dangerous to not wipe data? Because actually my ROM is rocking right now without issues? Should I reflash it for safety?
It just depends....
It's always best to start clean, especially if you were having problems. But if you want to keep data intact, you should be ok as long as you don't go to an entirely different rom, base, or build.
If you are updating to a newer version of the same build, you're fine. Also if updating to a newer build/version you should be ok, but may have a few hiccups.
However, anytime you go backwards (4.2.2 to 4.1.2) you should wipe it all. The same is true if you are moving to a different base, such as CM to TW. Keeping your internal sdcard data is usually ok, but sometimes it can cause some issues.
