I had to do a factory reset on my phone today from the recovery screen. When it rebooted it said applying update from Verizon. The only thing I can think of is on the FR it reverted to 2.2 then upgraded on loading. I couldnt bypass this though. Maybe if someone can figure out how to do a FR and bypass the auto update we would be back on 2.2. Any thoughts on this?
Can you please post in the correct sections, this is not android development.

Maybe unactivate your phone first. Then factory reset? No data, no update

It does it right as I turn it on. Even before it gives me the activate prompt. It shows the HTC boot logo then says updating software from Verizon Wireless. Then it boots up.

Someone posted that he was able to boot into hboot and clear cashe and dav_,
And the prompting quit and he used AlphaRevX with success.
I think if you did a hard reset then set airplane mode it might work.
I don't know if AlphaRevX works on a phone before it's activated or with data off, or in airplane mode.
Good luck.
I just got my device 2 days ago i was having singal issues so i took it to verizon they exchanged it..When they exchanged it it came with 2.2.1 and i had to pull sd card and put it in airplane mode till i got home and rooted it and have just installed miui
I pulled the sd card and the sim card. Went into the HBoot and did a reset. It still pulled the update so Im not really sure what its doing when it says updating software.
What if you did a hard reset with the battery cover off since that is essentially the antenna?
It was off. Pulled SD card and SIM. I hit factory reset from the HBOOT white screen and then it boots to the HTC bootlogo. And a black screen that shows the OTA logo going to the phone is up and says updating software. Before the phones even booted.
I was meaning like get a different phone activated and do it while it's not activated

Another idea that may or may not be easy for people is going somewhere that isn't on the Verizon network. I know that the basement of my work doesn't have a signal and when I did a factory reset about a month ago it let my phone boot and skip the activation since it didn't get a signal.
It does the update before it even boots and prompts me to activate.
hboot

What hboot version does it show?
Have you tried to clear cash in hboot?
I think if you had a standby phone to swich service to you could get by with getting s-off.
Just make sure the standby phone keeps your data plan, or you might get shoved into a teared plan...
Hi all,
I have a stock HTC One X, when the phone updates it knackers android causing all sorts of crashes on boot. Generally I just boot into the bootloader and do a hard reset. This time I go into the bootloader but there is no option to do a factory reset. Any ideas on whats gone wrong or how I might resolve it please?
My phone is heating and switching OFF automatically if I on the WIFI. What should I do now??? Tried to reset have rooted and unlocked bootloader. I tried everything possible still no success. What should I do??
Hi there,
First timer on the forums. I rooted my phone around mid February of this year and haven't had a problem until recently. I've noticed I cannot press the OK key after I entered my pin. The OS just doesn't recognize it. And it turns off normally as if I took too long to press anything and the phone sleeps. Reason I posted is because I have the phone on fingerprint setup, but when I restarted my phone, it required me to enter my pin. But I can't even enter my pin and unlock my phone. I seriously don't want to have to go into recovery mode to do a factory reset/data wipe.
Any suggestions? Anything but data wiping would be appreciated.
Never mind
I don't have time to waste since I need this for work. You may close this thread.
My son forgot his screen lock after changing it. We have a backup so factory reset is fine.
However every time I try to hard reset it just reboots the phone back to the Lock Screen.
Anyone suggest an easy way to factory reset this device so I can use his email to get his account back??
