Hard reset

Hey guys....it`s been awhile.
i`m trying to reset my Dash to factory settings to sell.I`ve tried both ways. hold soft keys,press power button for 1-2 seconds,i get the white letterings saying personal data will be lost,and will reset to manufacturer default.press send to restore manufacturer default.it goes thru its thing....(preparing your device,please wait.....) it goes thru cold boot config. when it restarts, it`s back to 3vo series rom.i`ve done the start/accessories/clear storage/1234/yes.
still same thing........weird....does the sim card need to be in phone to hard reset?

the hard reset does not remove the installed rom just the data to but it back to the default rom you must reflash said rom. the standard roms are in the wiki i think but sont qupte me. failing that they should be around on the forum somewhere so search and you'll find them. hope this helps

Stock ROMs in F.A.Q as paradox1985 states a hard-reset will only take you back to the base of flashed ROM not all the way back to stock.

Excellent .....thanks for your help.

Reset my phone...

....alright, I'll start off by apologizing for not searching on this subject as I am at work and don't quite have the time as I'm hoping to do this before the holiday.
I currently have a rooted phone (unrevoked3?? "one button root") and the "unofficial" 2.2 firmware. I would like to reset my phone back to factory settings and start fresh. I don't believe that if I "restore to factory default" will work so I'm looking for suggestions.

Are you trying to go back to Pre-ROOT or Root with Stock 2.2? Also did you do a NANDROID backup right after you rooted. You can always go back to that, it'll pretty much be stock.

If you do factory settings, it should work. But don't apply the most recent OTA if you want root directly, there is a fix for it but probably won't be here until the weekend or more.

I tried the system restore and its still Android ota 2.2 with baseband 2.05.
I was hoping to get it back to prior OTA 2.2 and go with OFW. I'm not really caring if it's rooted or not when "restored" as I'd like to just put the latest unrevoked on anyways.
So, if what you said that restore to factory would work, I imagine its the option through the bootloader as I don't think it would work through phone settings.
just did factory reset through clockwork recovery and i'm still 2.2/2.05

[Q] April Fools Prank gone wrong... help please

Okay so let's start off by saying my cousin is an idiot. He tried pulling an April fool's joke on me (ill spare you the details) and ended up wiping my phone THROUGH THE STOCK METHOD (As in going to settings and resetting the phone...). And so, im left with a phone in bootloop... awesome. So I need some help reviving it. I have no freaking clue if I still have clockwork running on it (i think it is because the boot animation for the ROM i was running is still there and the unlock thing at the bottom when it first boots up is there). I was running AOKP beta 25 with lean kernel along with the lucid theme atop of AOKP. Can someone please help guide me on how to get my phone up and running?

You may have to flash the stock google factory image. If you hold down both volume buttons and the power button while the phone is off, you can get into fastboot mode (the screen with the opened up Android). Then you can use the gnex toolkit (you can get it from the development forums) to flash the stock google factory image.

Just boot into recovery. You'll then know if you have CWM. If you have CWM, just try a data/cache/dalvik wipe and reboot. If it still bootloops, do a full wipe and re-flash the ROM.
If you don't have CWM, you can flash it through fastboot and try the above.
Don't freak out. A bootloop is about the farthest from a brick you can be.

what exactly will that do..? Will I lose unlock/root? and sorry if you don't mind, could you point me to the tool?

Alright so even after wiping and reflashing the ROM, im still in a bootloop. I dont mind having to go back to 100% stock no unlock if that's what it takes but can anyone help me out?

OK the easiest way to sort this out for you but perhaps not the best way is go to http://code.google.com/android/nexus/images.html and download a factory rom and use a tool kit like mskips http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1392310 to flash everything back to stock. This will wipe your entire phone so back up anything you wanted to keep but I promice your phone will work again.
I only say this isn't the best possible way as it would be best to learn about adb and fast boot as to know how to do all this manually but I don't have a good knowledge on adb but its something I'm meaning to do just don't have a great deal of time for. The tool kit will do everything for you simply by pressing keys and a few clicks and will install all the drivers you need. Good luck

Thank you! I was able to flash to the stock image and keep my unlock! Sadly, since my cousin wiped my phone, i lost everything anyways... but I have my essential things (pictures, contacts, and some apps) already backed up. Thank you for your help!

Glad you figured it out. Flashing the Google Images doesn't relock the bootloader (unless you explicitly do so with the oem lock command). You can now start over and load a custom ROM.

Good I'm glad you fixed it, today your learned a little bit of how to get out of sticky situations. I'm glad to of helped
Edit
Now be sure to return the favour to your cousins phone

[Q] Help please.

Hello.I'm new to posting here and hate to even ask but today my phone was flashed for me to Slimkat.I personally didn't like it very much so I asked the person who flashed it to revert it back and he was guiding me through it with odin he had me download the root66 version of T999L_UVUBNC1 and had me run it through with odin.Odin says it was a success but my phone is currently stuck on the tmobile screen as it boots.any insight while i continue to look would be great.

Boot into recovery and perform a factory reset

I ended up doing a factory reset.Is it normal for that to happen after restoring with odin?

Yes, if you are doing anything but updating to a new touchwiz build. Especially if coming from cm/aosp.

Thnk you very much for taking the time to answer my question.

How can I Factory Reset while rooted without bricking

So I stupidly tried to upgrade to the Pixel 4 Launcher before the official Dec update came and even after trying to uninstall/reinstall the .apk and downgrade etc, I still can't get the launcher to be remotely usable without the error popups if I have gestures on. So I am resorting to factory resetting and just starting from scratch.
I feel extremely dumb asking this as I've been rooting/customizing my phones since the G1, but about 6 months ago I had to send in a phone for RMA and when I factory reset it, wiped the OS and the bootloader was locked, so I am making sure I don't do that this time as I'm now out of warranty.
What is the process of factory resetting when I am rooted with Magisk and have the bootloader unlocked? I don't have a custom rom, just stock Android and I do not have TWRP installed. I feel like it's as simple as just going into Settings and hitting Factory Reset in Reset Options, but I can't remember if I did that or something else when I bricked the RMA phone and want to make sure.
Again, sorry for the completely stupid question, just trying to cover the bases. Thanks in advance!

It's like you said, go to settings and factory reset. Or, go to stock recovery and do it from there :good:
