Will a hard reset remove root?

I'm rooted with unrevoked 3 and I want to remove the root so I can install the ota update. So if I do a factory reset will I be good to go? Also what is the best app to backup all of my apps and settings? Musy be a simple one because I'm clueless wirh this stuff. Thanks

no, a hard reset will not. a reset only wipes userdata and cache and a few other things. why would you want an ota update???? just downlaod one of the roms our talented devs have created for you (most have the newest ota) and flash.

I would but I have no idea how to flash roms and backup and all of that. I don't even know how to find the roms. Or understand the terminology. And why wouldn't I want the ota update are those good because they fix issues and improve stuff?

ok, it seems this might be a little more complicated than a 2 sentence answer...
you wouldnt want an ota, not because it is not better than its predecessor, but because it is just what htc put in, and as you know, there is alot of stuff htc is not capable of, not willing to, or not creative enough to put in. that is why you would want a custom rom.
a rom is the Read Only Memory of the phone. it is the stuff that tells it what to do when something happens. it is everything you see and do when the phone is booted up, as well as while it is booting. if your phone is rooted, you can do whatever the hell you want to do with it.
the talented devs at xda (including me minus the talent) have made custom roms based off the ota's. most have little add ons and tweaks. some of the more in-depth ones have bigger changes, or even complete ui changes. these devs have packadged them in update.zip scripts, so that they will easily install on your phone. they can be found in the android dev section (in the evo forum)
before flashing a zip (installing a rom through a script) you will need to wipe everything, so it is reccomended to use the titanium backup app to backup all your apps, as well as the data in the apps.
any more questions? shoot

Thanks I've been researching for the past 3 hours and I've backed up with rom manager and titanium backup and I think I am ready to install my first rom. I'm looking for a completly stable rom with vanilla 2.2 that will let me use everything that I can use on stock like 4g,market, and everything else. Thanks again
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

as vanilla, do you mean the lockscreen??? if you do, easy fix. if you mean stock android stuff, you will have a hard time finding 4g there... i am always willing to help. as an extremely stable rom, i reccomend fresh. very stable and looooooong battery

Well not just the lock screen. I just want stock android with no UI at all. And I want everything to work. Thanks for helping me btw
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

I'm pretty sure there are no AOSP roms that have everything working, specifically 4G. I think there might be a couple Sense roms that have sense pretty stripped out that look and feel like AOSP, just dig around the development section.
If it's just the UI you care about, you can always install ADW or LauncherPro and make it look like AOSP. That way you have everything working and you get to keep some of Sense's finer parts, like the smart dialer (the AOSP dialer sucks!).

Ok.I'm thinking about trying the fresh rom is there anything that doesn't work with that? Does 4g work? Anything I should know about it? Lol

I think dude used the word vanilla as an adjective for plain HTC sense 2.2 and not AOSP.

Fresh is awesome. I have been using it for a while and just updated to the latest one today. It's a sense ROM, so everything works. The dock looks a little different compared to stock but that's it.

Alright cool. Because I'm getting horrible battery life even with having the processor underclocked. As soon as I take it off the charger it drops from 100% to 85% within 10 minutes of no use lol. Also wil titanuim backup work with fresh? Like can I restore e erything with no problems?

Titanium should work with any ROM.
FYI, the paid version will allow you to do a one click batch restore of all apps and data.

Yeah I have the paid ver. But what's the point of switching if the only differnce is the dock. Is the battery life THAT much better?

Switch what? What are you talking about? Fresh ROM? Read the 1st post of the Fresh ROM thread to learn what it features.

I just did the backup and now my pandora and scanner radio apps are gone? Weird
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

That's not the only difference, it's the only major VISUAL difference. Most of the other stuff is under the hood. I don't know what kind of battery life you've been getting but with Fresh and king's #11cfs kernel I get great battery life. I put a fresh battery in at 7 this morning and I still have 45%. I was streaming pandora and MeCanto for a couple hours, made a few phone calls, 20 or so texts, and maybe an hour of internet browsing.

Oh I forgot about kernals. How do I install a kernel? Do I have to install a kernal? What is a kernel? Lol
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

Those are questions better suited for Google.

Okay? But atleast tell me if I need one. I will be using rom manager to download and install rom.

I have the EXACT same setup as you and I get the same force close all the time. adroid process.acore has failed or something like that. I have no idea what the issue is though.

you guys aren't the only ones getting this there are some people that are getting it on azreal as well i think it may have to do with a bad nandblock pray that i'm wrong as idk of any way to fix a bad block, but its the only explanation that i can think of why its happening to multiple people on different ROMS.
update: there are reports of Sprint lovers ROM doing this as well

Same problem here. I've used both roms with the same problem on both.
Anyone have some idea why?

Could be a kernel problem. Just an assumption.

Same here, starting yesterday or today. And I'm running Fresh 3.4 with King BFS 12.

A full wipe along with a reinstall seem to have fixed the problem for me. Before I had experienced it at boot, but now its no longer appearing so... I would say this may work.

This worked for me I was getting the same error all day and I found it has something to do with contact syncing.
Note I only recommend doing this if all your contacts are synced using gmail or you will lose your contacts.
Solution:
1. turn off Google contact syncing
2. Make a backup of contacts in gmail - ex. export data in csv or vcf
3. then click "manage applications" & "contacts storage" then tap on "clear cache" and "clear data" ATTENTION ! ALL CONTACTS DATA ON PHONE WILL BE LOST!!
4. turn on sync again.
I hope this helps.

I can confirm that clearing contacts cache will fix this problem. I had the same issue using LeeDroid and MIUI Roms, cleared contacts cache and all fixed. I sync contacts via Google so it automatically restored my contacts.

Me too, it started on virus ROM, I wiped and flashed calkulin, still getting the same Fc's. It hasn't done it today, I do get a Fc of com.HTC.bp or something like that lately too, I cant figure out what's causing it or where its located in the ROM. I was thinking something may have happened to my hardware but I guess im not the only one now.

Youtube

I'm not sure if its the phone the app or something else but my subscriptions are all gone and most of the videos I try to play crash the app. I have tried reflashing cm7 many times but it still occurs. No other app has any issue. Google search failed me so I was hoping someone might have an answer.
Thank you for your time.

Did you go into settings-applications-manage applications-youtube and then clear data? I would try that before anything else. Also, are you undervolting at all? If I go to low with setCPU, youtube is usually the first thing to crash.

Its the app EVERYBODY has this issue and its pissing me off
If you read the apps reviews there plumeting because they haven't fixed it yet

The comments are great, lol. But in an effort to stay on topic, have you tried uninstalling then restoring an older version through Titanium?
This has worked for me NM the past.
Also, though it sounds noobish,have you cleared Dalvik and formatted /cache under mounts &storage? Always ask the simplest questions first. Damn A+ steps. ;-)

Are both of your subs not showing up when you go to "My channel"? Mine wont show up on the youtube widget, but do show up when I go to my channel. I clicked on a few of the recommended videos and about half caused FCs!

I don't use titanium. Clean installs only. I don't nandroid ever either. I know all the tricks for simple stuff since I've been on xda since my Samsung moment. I had figured it was YouTube being YouTube and having issues with everything. But I wasn't sure until I tested stuff.

Its happenning to me aswell. I found a fix that works. Go into cwm and wipe data cache n dalvik. It will wipe everything and you'll have to manually install your apps but it DOES work. Don't restore nandroid. It will bring back the bug.

I saw this fix somewwhere and it worked on my gf's epic running legendary 2.2 and samurai assassin (problem originated for her on acs ics 5.1). I did a factory data reset from the settings menu in android. After the phone reboots enter your account settings and restore apps with data using titanium backup. Its a bit tedious but it worked.

Looks interesting enough.
My phone is pretty much bone stock CM9 rc1 right now so I don't have anything to lose of something gets borked. I'll try it out and post back!

I've tried this app and it works amazingly. I had no problems but wasn't on tpr or bml. But I doubt that makes any differences.
The one thing I did have a problem with was out of the 25 apps I backed up and restored swype and handcent kept fc'ing but a wipe in titanium backup fixed that.

has anybody has issues restoring titanium backups after flashing a4.2.2 ROM? I've flashed 2 different roms and in both cases no backups appear on titanium. not sure if it has top do with build numbers or titanium license. but if anyone has Amy feed back it would be heart

I know what you mean... I can't stay on a rom too long. I was on liquid which liked a lot, but last night new releases were out for the others so I tried out root box again, then paranoid, then I set up jelly beer. Root box is nice, I like it better than jelly beer. I will probably go back unless liquid gets an update. I like using the ones that are updated the most and most up to date.
Sent from my GT-N7105 using xda app-developers app

yeah man. I haven't used jelly beer in awhile. I've flashed it and played but it wasn't my cup of tea. I do love liquid. ran it on my gnex and running it on a s2 and its solid. but rootbox is a beauty. running tw roms right now just cause they are bugless but battery isthe ****s. so time to go back to aosp. goddam addiction I tell ya.
