Okay silly question. I have my ouya modded and google play installed but keep having issues. In the event I get tired of trying to resolve these issues. Will performing a simple factory reset completely wipenaway all these mods or will I need to reflash the firmware? And if its a reflash of official firmware where would I obtain the file(s) to do so.
Thank you in advance

First it depends on what mods you've done. Like factory reset won't undo xposed framework or anything you've put into /system. All it does is wipe your data.

Sorry for the noobish question — I couldn't find an exact answer to my question anywhere else — but what exactly does a factory reset do? All I know so far is that it doesn't break root and that it wipes your apps. How does it affect recovery, ROM and kernel, etc? I want to reset my phone because I am getting slow boot times in cm7/evo-deck and because I want to do the wake-lock/android system battery fix, in which a reset is required. Will I be all set just doing a Titanium backup?
Also what is the best way of doing a factory wipe — through the bootloader or through AmonRA? Is there a difference?
Thanks.

Does anyone know if there are videos showing you step by step how to actually setup a rom, once u have it installed? Last night I installed the sleeper rom, and I couldn't figure out how to get the phone dialer installed. Plus I started getting system force closes. I'm assuming that I should install the zip twice or 3 times right? But really, videos on rom setup would really help.

There are some videos listed in the OP of SleeperROM but doubt it will cover what you are looking for. Replacing the dialer requires pushing the file to system\app folder with Root Explorer. FC's are a sign of corrupted data. A Factory Data reset will clear all data and you can then restore some stuff from Titanium if you had a backup before flashing. Try to not restore data for anything unless you HAVE to have it, like memos or something like that.
so in that case, you think i should do a dalvik wipe, cache wipe and a factory reset before installing the sleeper rom?
by the way, what do you me "op"?

OP=Original Post which is Post #1 of the thread. I also read in there that it does not preserve data and you should do a full wipe of all 3 things before flashing for best results.
OP = original post (or first post). Yes, wipe everything before installing a ROM.
Edit: before installing most ROMs. Some of them are no-wipe, but i usually wipe anyway.

ok...i got it. now, if and when i reinstall the rom, would there be a problem installing the dialer from titanium backup? would there be any kind of conflict?

There shouldn't be. Sometimes Titanium is finicky about pushing system apps, but worth a try. If not pull it from a stock ROM and push it with Root Explorer.

I previously installed the 4.2.2 camera before the OTA was available and this prevented me from successfully using the OTA because the phone wasn't completely stock. After trying all of the "typical" fixes like going back to the stock camera and a bunch of other stuff (covered in my last thread), I was told the only option I had was a factory reset. I finally had a free day so I did a Titanium backup as well as a nandroid backup with TWRP, saved all of my pictures and such along with the backup files on a backup HD, then did a factory reset through the android settings menu. Once it rebooted, it was "reset" but the 4.2. camera remained. I tried the OTA update and of course it failed. So I rebooted into TWRP, wiped the caches and then did a factory reset within TWRP and once it rebooted, I had the same issue (it was reset but the 4.2 camera remained). All of my pictures and the Ti backup files remained on the phone throughout this whole process as well, not sure if that's normal or not.
What am I doing wrong? It seems like it's resetting all the phone data but keeping my old modified rom? Thanks.
That's exactly what factory reset does

OK, I'm not sure why I was previously told on here that was my only "fix" then if it doesn't modify what I am having issues with. So what is it I need to do in order to get a factory ROM with the factory camera that will accept the OTA? I thought there was a "factory" way that would do it quickly/easily without going through dozens of steps?

For the record, I did see the link in his sig and read through his "back to stock" tutorial before asking if there was a way that didn't require dozens of steps. I don't have much free time so I was trying to see if there were any "easy" ways.
Regardless, I got it completely reset stock 4.1.1 and rooted again. Thanks for the help there.
Is it better to use my Ti Backup to restore things BEFORE installing the 4.2.2 OTA or should I do the OTA and then restore with Titanium? Thanks.
I apologize if this is covered elsewhere, I did not come across the question or answer in my search.
I have a Rogers Note II (GT-N7105/SGH-I317M).
It is running stock touch whiz 4.1.2. I had been running custom roms, but after their various issues, I am going with stock samsung at the moment.
I have TWRP installed as the custom recovery, and I used it to restore my backup I took right after rooting.
Not having any issues, but I am simply wanting to know if I can go into Settings >> Backup and Reset and the perform a factory reset of the phone to erase all apps and data.
I am not trying to unroot the phone or anything like that. This phone is a work phone and I am going to be turning it in for the Note 3 next week. I would like to erase my content before doing so, again, not trying to unroot it (I have the tools such as Triangle away, stock firmware and Odin) just want to do a wipe and reset it for the next person who may use it.
So again, the question. If I factory reset via settings will there be any issues or will it simply go back to a rooted blank rom with no apps data?
Or will I end up with a mess?
Thanks for the help!
Factory reset will only wipe your personal data that you entered nothing will affect system or any modifications on it you will see no mess just a clean phone

So I essentially will have a rooted phone with a romantic that is set back to stock? Which is exactly what I am trying to achieve.
The fact that I have twrp installed makes no difference?
Exactly it will not affect system you will have clean stock rooted with twrp installed

I did this many times before with rooted and romed htc devices running things like cm and insert coin + sense but I wasnt sure how pick an already picky Samsung rom would be when rooted.
